sarre the comina Second clty.

There will be realignment in the nu-
merical ating OF Vermont towns and
cities when the next census is taken.
Burlington, which had a population of
1850 in 1900, will easily hold first place
in 1910, but Rutland is likely TO be dis
placed by Barre as the second city in size
in the state. Barre is growing rapidly
and at the present time has $3.50 taxable
polls, or 81 more than Rutland. Bar e
las population OF approximately l2,-
600, and this figure will be increased
largely in anoIher year. Brattleboro
ranked below Bennington and st. Johns
bury nine years ago. but this town has
made handsome increase in population
and will make a bid for fourth place,
with something like 1000 people. Rock
ingham has also made good strides, de-
spite some industrial set-becks, andis

Increases Tax Rates Explained.

Taxes are increasing throughout the
state, in the cities as we'll as in the coun-
try towns. During the past four years,
Burlington has increased her tax rate by
20 cents on a dollar and is now paying
40 cents. II the price of everything else
is increasing, food, clothing, rent, wages,
ETC., it is natural that taxes should also
become higher. One can afford higher
living expenses il his income is CORE
spondingly higher. II is the one who,
because of ill health or other cause, has
but scant income that is justified in wor-
rying over the "ruinous high prices. {"
The slender capital which he had laid up
for rainy day will diminish all too rap
idly and encouragement will surely fol-
low. -Londonderry Sitter.

Norwich University.

The state has q great institution in
Norwich university at Mortified. A
person cannot but be impressed after at
tending the exercises on the parade
ground for one day during the COM
mencement week. There is a precision
about the whole bearing of the student in
action that is suggestive of manhood.
Headed by real army officer and one of
the brilliance of Commandanr l.. Al.
Chapman, the drills are csrried out in
military fashion and everything about the
school bears an atmosphere of the real
thing in the military line. A feature of
the exercises on Thursday was the cavalry
drill This was the first year horseman-
ship has been made part OF the course
and, considering the short time the ca
diets and the horses have been at it, the
exhibition was very credftable one and
showed the result of q good deal Of work,
Another feature was the cadet band.
which furnished music on the field dur
ing the whole of the exercises. The
school has also added an orchestra to its
equipment which comes in very handy ct
times. There are bigger institutions
than Norwich and some with . higher
standing from an educational standpoint
but there are none better from a military
standpoint outside the school in which
the tuition is paid by the government

Political "Rumors."

The merry mentioner has been busy up
and down the state as usual, and the
names of those who are said to be willing
to sustain the draft are alleged to be as
foIIows:---
Olin Merrill, Enosburg Falls.
C. P. Smith, Burlington.
j. A. Mead, Rutland.
]. A. Weeks, Middlebury.
Frank L. Fish. Vergennes.
T. @. Cheney, Morristown.

G. II. Stearns, johnson.

G. W. Gates, franklin.
o. NJ. Barber. Bennington.
c. c. Fits, Brattleboro.
F. q. Fleetwood, Morristown.
The list might be considerably extend
ed, but ID names will serve very we'll as
the basis for a full-dedged dissertation on
the ''good MATERIAL which the state is al
ways presumed ready to supply.-Rut-
land Herald.
Following the "mentioner," all sorts
of unsuthentic rumors are of course in
order. As for instance, it is said
That Merrill would almost rather see a
real state deficit than to have Mead put
up the money to tide it over.
That Smith believes the Office should
seek the man, but he can entertain that
opinion without hiding in anybody's
barn il a search begins.
That Mead is sitting up nights to
study the electrical milking machine at
his farm that he may know something
about the milking process when he gets
up against the political "workers.
That Weeks prefers a Morgan horse and
Z he - ~
bury Register rather than a $50 b. d.
automobile.
That Fish has already searched himself
to be certain that be has no more federal
offices to lose by again breaking into the
Vermont political game.
That Cheney is still hopeful and would
put that ''salary grab money right back
into the state treasury if he had it all to
do ever again.
That Greene feels pretty certain of the
school marms' votes, even if Fleetwood is
in the race.
That Stesrns greatly admires the iudg-
ment OF those who mention him as eligi-
bic for the governorship.
That Bigelow can't get the support Of
Mayor Jim" Burke; and without it can
hardly expect to carry Burlington.
That Gates is beginning to patch up
the roads from Cansan to Vernon.
That Barber would rather be right than
be governor; but be is not entirely sure
: that he couldn't be both.
That Fits never broke political rule.
written or unwritten, and as be lives on
the EAST Side' will do all that can be
expected OF a Brattlebnro man to avoid
the nomination until 1912.
That Fleetwood is as ever in the hands
of mis- friends; but the more friends the
better. - Mortified News.

Senator Pace on Free Hides.

Senator Page made a fine impression
before the Senate Monday when be made
his maiden speech, talking on the subject
with which he was thoroughly familiar,
the hide business, and as a practical bust
ness man pleaded for freedom for hides
and freedom from the beef trust. The
press accounts characterize it as the
"most illuminating speech OF the day"
and call II contribution OF real knowl-
edge and attentively listened to. as Mr..
Page was recognized as a practical bust
ness man who had made a fortune in the
raw calfskin business. The senator has a
simple manner, the report continues, and
talked Iimpidly as a stream and being
full OF his subject Was never at hesitation
for word or hating in the marshaling
OF his facts. At times he was so earnest
that he unconsciously contributed humor,
as when in describing the hide business
and how prices were regulated in auction
marts the senator pictured in detail the
cries OF the auctioneer, so that for few
minutes the Senate seemed in an auction
mart itself and senators smiled. The SEN
ator showed how the packing interests,
step by step, had gained control OF the
hides market in New England. "Give
the leather man a fair show, give him
free hides and he will beat the world. -
asserted Mr.. Page. Montpelier Argus.

We second the suggestion of the St.
Adams Messenger that county lines in
Vermont ought to be corrected down to
the needs and conveniences OF the pres
emit. Considering these things only, sew
eral of the counties should be divided and
set OF to others, while perhaps one or two
new ones should be created. But it is
little use proposing such a thing. The
towns interested as shires would put up a
fight that would be hard to overcome,
and the new propositions, whatever they
might be, would not be able to muster
the necessary majority in favor of any one
particular plan. That is what helps to
keep us in the old rut. In regard to
changes of county seats, it is to be noted,
also, that the investments in county

Faulty Committee Construction.

The Banner is glad to welcome the
conversion OF the Rutland Herald to 8 re-
form that the Banner has been urging for
years. Says the Herald: -
els il not possible that the practice of
placing sill lawyers on the judiciary COM
mittee, practically all lawyers on the
committee on state and court expenses,
all doctors on the committee on public
heslth, all bankers on the committee on
banks, all ministers on the committee on
temperance, all pedagogues on the COM
mittee on education, all politicians on
the committee on appropriations and all
farmers on the committee on agriculture,
may have its disadvantages. The Herald
is not quite sure, but il ventures the
opinion that few plain lsymen, business
men snd libeSals would make leaveniug
OF these committees that would work for
the public good.
The Herald is making progress in get
ting its eyes open to the real evils OF Yer
mont legislation. The matter 81 the
makeup of committees is enc OF the worst
errors in Yermont's system of legislative
work and is SO openly and VIGOROUSLY
bad that it is the more discreditable for
having been allowed to exist so long.
The neN spapers, not only the Herald and
the Banner, hut most OF the others that
spend time and space in the consideration
Of state matters are too much inclined to
rail at the results instead OF studying the
causes and trying to bring bout cure.
Vermont, as we all know, has been re-
msrkably free from great abuses and cor
ruption but we have system of making
laws in this state that invites trouble.
Things will grow worse instead of better

Senator Page spoke and yoted for free
hides, but found himself under the steam
roller. In his position he not only stood
for his own business interest, but reflect
ed the sentiment OF his state. The pro-
ducers, as in so many cases, were more
insistent for a duty than the consumers,
and had their way. II will be noted later
that the consumers vote.

The Bennington Banner resents the no.
ton that such institutions as Montpelier
seminary, Goddard seminary, Vermont
academy and Burr and Burton seminary
are, properly speaking, sectarian schools.
They we're established as such and con-
Quoted along that line at the beginning,
but the liberal trend Of the times and the
competition of the high schools have
compelled them to remove the barriers
and become non-sectarian in every essen
tial respect. The Banner says
POSSIBLY, even probably, most of the
trustees of Montpelier seminary are
Methodists, most OF those OF Goddard
seminary may be Universalists, those OF
Burr and Burton Congregationalists and
those of Vermont academy Baptists, but
it is because of Inheritance and descent
from the old days and has no bearing on
the present day conduct OF the schools. -

II Was Heard il the convention.

Commenting on the state convention of
Congregationalists held in Randolph, the
Herald Of that town ssys:-''rhe present
day spirit appears to be exceedingly liber-
al in matters OF doctrine and practice.
This church feels that while the several
Christian church bodies must be the lead
ers and radiating influences OF religion.
their work is by no means limited to
their active membership, or even the regu-
lar attendants upon church services.
The figures show decrease in member
ship and loss in most o. the church ac-
Invites, but in compensation comes the
well-known fact that there is a real
growth in religion and religious spirit
beyond and without the church. The
world is better, and the church takes
comfort in that" This seems like poor
consolation II religious growth outside
the church is greater than within it, the
time will come when the church will be
eliminated. We hazard a guess that this
sort OF comfort was incubated in the
contemporaries ssnctum and was not
heard OF in the Bellows
