The following from Mondays Free
Press will interest many IN Morrisville,
where the bride, who is a daughter of
FL. J. VanCor, has many friends. -
Miss B. Elaine VanCor of Brookes
avenue and Ernest L. Brown of Boston
were quietly married Saturday noon at
the Methodist parsonage in Shelburne
by the Rev. George Watson. They were
attended by the Misses Nellie Field and
Eva Simmons of this city.
The wedding was planned for Septem-
Der and the change in the date was a
surprise to the friends of the contracting
parties. The party left here in aEtomo-
bile for Shelburne and returned later in
the day. Meanwhile invitations to
party at the home of the bride had been
sent out and the marriage was announced
to the assembly that evening. The groom
is graduate of Dartmouth College in
the class of 1908 and of the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology in 1907. He
is employed by the General Electric
company in Boston. After a short we'd
ding trip, they will make their home in
Watertown. Mass"

Death Of Mrs. Sophia H. Massey

Mrs. Sophia Fl. Massey, mother of Mrs.
A. l.. Cheney. died last Sunday morni ng
at the age of S. years. She had been in
very poor health for about year and a
half, having pever fully recovered from
an attack of pneumonia suffered a wear
ago last February. Death was due to
senile debility and was probably hastened
by chronic heart disease.
The deceased was born in New York
State on February 2, 1924 She was
united in marriage to Daniel Fl. Massey.
They moved to Elmore in early life and
always resided there and at Worcester
until they came to Morrsville to reside
with their only child IA years ago. Mr..
Massey died here about II years ago and
was buried in Pleasant View Cemetery.
Mrs. Massey was conscientious christ
ian woman and was member of the
Methodist Episcopal church for nearly
her whole life. Besides her daughter.
she is survived by one brother, who lives
in Manchester, N. II.

The Price Not Increased

The report to the effect that the admis-
sion to the coming Lamoille Valley Fair
has been increased is without foundation
Doubtless the error started from the
tact that the management is putting
more money into all departments this
year and are bound to give larger and
better fair than ever. Such mistake
widely circulated would be more or less
disastrous. So it is hoped that every
one will tell everyone else that the price
will remain the same. The cost of the
big vaudeville show has been doubled
and will eclipse any previous attempt in
this direction, and will include the. fa-
nous Japanese Acrobats and troupe of
trained monkeys, Remember the dates,

POLITICAL DRIFT.

As the record stands the Illinois legisla-
ture has been more successful in smashing
a deadlock than in regulating the size of
women's hats.
Senator Tnlman occasionally reveals the
CLINT Of his p~itchfork with a flash OF
humor. He says his colleagues in the SEN
ate ak too much.
The fact that william Lorimer, senator
elect from Illinois, was a street car con-
ductor twenty-three years ago may explain
his skill in handing a transfer TO a po-
ntical. rival.
Bourke Cochran's farewell words, as he
sailed for Europe, were the verbal ex-
preston OF a growing conviction among
his countrymen. There is no democratic
party says Bourke.
The governor Of Rhode Island is under
arrest for exceeding the speed limit in two
states. He began the trouble at home,
but ran over into Massachusetts before
the machine could be stopped,
Having put seven municipal g~rafters In
hook, Pittsburg is developing the trail into
years past, and has reason TO expect a
substantial increase In the number of re
spectacle citizens sent over the road.
The New York legislature sent to the
governor financial bills exceeding last
years budget by 80, 10000. When Governor
Hughes got through with them the excess
was cut down To s464, 900. The New York

Tariff First.

BY postponing the consideration of
the income tax amendment the senate
has said u~nequivocally that nothing is
to be permitted to interfere with the
prompt disposition of the tariff
schedules. The business of the coun-
try is more or less halted by the un-
certainty inseparable with a pending
tariff bill. The special session was
called for the express purpose of reach
ing an early determination which
would remove this obstacle to trade
revival and, while the debate has been
longer thar anticipated, no other legis-
lation has been permitted to interfere
with the work in hand.
The tariff in itself is a complex and
troublesome problem which con-
gress is finding plenty of difficulty in
disposing of without i~ntermixing it
with extraneous matter. The tariff
schedules should be readjusted so far
as necessary to accord with changed
industrial conditions without sacrific-
ing American industries which need
protection. The differences of opinion
as to where the line should be drawn
to meet these conditions are many and
their adjustment to the reasonable sat
isfaction of all is demanding all the
attention of congress at the present
time.
When this task is accomplished and
the best possible judgment obtained as
to the amount of revenue the new bill
will produce will be time enough to
consider other sources of income to
fill in should insufficient returns be
feared.
The income tax invites wide differ
ences of opinion, both as to policy and
legality, and if pressed would be GER
tain to lead to prolonged debate. The
questionable legality of an income tax,
which has once been declared uncon-
stitutional by the supreme court, rem
ders it a precarious support for the
treasury and as its only relevancy to
the tariff is one of supplementary rev.
enue 1t should not be permitted to OBJ
struct the revision which was promised
and which the country waits.

not pleading facts. The United States

WITHOUT SPECIAL sIGNIF1cANcE
Some Sensible Reflections on the Re-
cent Mail Robbery.
st, Louis Republic,

~ ASAAo ANNphblAN'
The amazing robbery OF the UL.on Pa
cific's Overland limited in the Omaha
yards proves nothing as to Nebraska,
Omaha or the Union Pacific. 1t is such a
thing as might happen, sporadically, in any
part of the United States.
1t may revive the demand, heard from
time to time in the days of the activity of
the Kansas City train robbers, for the plac-
ing of armed guards in every mail and ex-
press car, but nothing will come of it; the
economic argument is against 1t. Let us
suppose-whlch Is far from proven-that
the robbers got Si0o. 900, and that the placing
OF an armed guard In every mail and ex-
press car by the Union Pacific officials
would save that sum annually to the road.
This could not be done on the through
trains of the Union Pacific system for
anything like 800, 900 per year, supposing
men Of courage and integrity to be OBJ
tainable at SIS per month.
The Incident rather emphasizes the Sc
curity of valuables transmitted by mail
and express in these United States. They
are transported In cars which are opened
at all stops without special precautions
with a safety which is well-nigh perfect.
This system has been adopted because il
most nearly fits the conditions; ii is fol-
lowed in western states, where the driver
of the stage coach used to go armed to
the teeth, with a man on the box beside
him with a brace Of revolvers and a
sawed-off shotgun loaded with buckshot
Times have changed since the seventies,
and changed for the better.
So long as we nave criminals the OPP
portunity which this general security af-
fords will be occasionally taken advantage
of, but It need only serve to remind us
Of the high average of safety of vaiuables
in transit across a continent whose rail-
ways span a distance of $500 miles be-
tween Boston and San Francisco.

Roosevelt and Taft.

The address of Henry Clews COM
pares Roosevelt and Taft in a striking
way. He reminds us that If anyone
imagines that the American people has
abated in the least their admiration
for the ex-president they are nursing
Gus a mistake to believe that the poll
cies for which Mr.. Roosevelt stood are
dead or even dormant. Mr.. Clews
points out that MIR. Roosevelt was the,
man for the hour when he came into
Office. A man of his enthusiastic per-
~sonality, fearlessness and pertinacity
was needed to stir up the public con
science to a point which rendered pos
sible the inauguration of the reforms
which he undertook. There existed the
opinion that the things against which
he contended we're wrong, but the pub
lie conscience was inert. A Roosevelt
was needed to stir it up and breathe
into it that vitality which spells ac-
complishment. He attained his object
and the work for which he was pre-
e%minently fitted was done
Here comes the need of a different
type of man, according to Mr.. Clews,
to work out the details with a clear
judicial mind, doing justice to all and
avoiding the errors to which impetuos-
ity and intense activity are exposed.
For this rounding u of the work Mr..
Taft was just as essential as Roosevelt
was for the conditions which con-
fronted him. Possessing a courage no
less pronounced, Mr.. Taft has a per-
~sistency equal to his predecessor and
just as high a sense of duty, coupled
with a calm and deliberative mind.
"Clinching OF the Roosevelt policies"
as the president himself put it. is to
be the keynote of the administration.
AS head Of one of our great bank
ing houses Mr.. Clews doubtless reflects
what the financial world thinks of the
outlook. His measure both OF the
man and his purpose corresponds with
that of everyone who has carefully
noted the course of Mr.. Taft. AL
though of different temperament from
Mr.. Roosevelt, he is pursuing the same
purpose in his own characteristic way.

Home Rule in Colorado.

For examples of real home rule for
cities as distinguished from bogus
home rule, we need go no further
than our neighboring state of Colo
RADIO, where under proper enabling
acts the various municipalities are un-
d%ertaking to frame their W char
tiers, subject to adoption or rejection
by popular vote. A new city charter
has been lately adopted in this way
for Colorado Springs, under which the
first election will be held in July.
The Colorado Springs charter was
drawn by a charter commission of
tw~enty-one representative citizens, by
which it was submitted to the voters
and ratified by an almost unanimous
vote. The new form Of municipal gov
eminent for Colorado Springs is
characterized as one of the most lib
eral ever adopted by an American
devices, such as commission form,
abolition of wards, separate municipal
ballot without party labels, the recall
and the initiative and referendum.
Municipal home rule does not neces-
sarily open the door to all these fads
and f~ancies, but If the people in a city
really want to make such experiments
there is no reason why they should
have to go to the legislature for au-
thority, or at the same time force
them on every other city in the same
class at the same time.
There is no question but hat the
general tendency is toward a larger
measure of local self-government for
the municipality. For Nebraska to &C
complish as much in this direction as
has Colorado, would, however. require
a constitutional amendment. Our re-
cent Nebraska legislature, in spite of
the home rule declarations on which
its democratic majority was elected,
negatived all the home rule proposals
offered, and Nebraska cities are
destined to sit still for the next few
years and watch the progress made in
states like Colorado.

American Rule in Porto Rico.

Apropos of the house debate over
the Porto Rican question some facts
as to what has been accomplished
there are pertinent. Every dollar of
evenue collected in the island is ex-
pended there for the benefit of its own
people. In addition the United States
pays out of the federal treasury the
cost of the lighthouse service, the
coast surveys, the harbor improve
ments, the marine hospital. the deficit
in the postal revenues, the weather
bureau service and maintains the agri-
cultural stations. These latter have
done a valuable work in advancing the
material prosperity of the islanders.
In addition we maintain a full regi-
ment of Porto Ricans in our army.
Still more. there is a remission of
SIS, 900 900 of customs duties which
would nave to be paid on imports Of
Porto Rican products into the United
States were the island Independent or
under other control. So much for the
financial side.
In the matter of internal advance
ment American control has planted
2,40O schools with $1,000 pupils,
where previously there were only 551
with $1,000 under Spanish rule. In
ten years the Porte Rican exports have
risen from S22, OOO, 1000 annually to
$50, 0O0, 900, The island has been
given a greater measure of self-gov-
eminent than any other dependency,
and all that was asked of its people
was to conduct their government in an
orderly manne In the entire civil
service of the island there are 2.54s
Porto Ricans and only 343 from the
United States,
The whole trouble in Porto Rico is
traceable to political ~malcontents In
