CURRENT COMMENT
FarmaIitY b pay Salary.

The report that President Taft has
received his first full months salary
recalls the treasurer Of the United
States who, III past administration, at.
tempted to make the monthly payment
of the president an occasion Of consid-
cradle formality, thereby adding to the
numberess and needless Interruptions
to which the chief executive is subject
ed This treasurer sought an advance
appointment at the White House, which
was granted; then took his eleven-year-
old boy out Of school fer the solemn oc-
casion, and together they waited in
great formality on the president to pre-
sent To him with an appropriate address
bis monthly stipend. Pains were taken
In the next few weeks to let the treas
urer know that the president had en-
tire confidence in the mail service and
would be willing thereafter to entrust
bis draft on the treasury to its custody.
The incident is illustrative Of the way
the pushers and climbers seize every
opportunity to get to see the president,
ard it requires no little skin to sift
frA the appeals made to him those
which are manufactured for purposes
If exploitation. Boston Transcript.

ATTRACTING PEOPLE TO VERMONT.

Al1hAJllhG FhOfl4E III REhMONI.
A good turn has again been done the
summer vacationist business in Vermont
by the Central Vermont railway company
in its annual booklet, Summer Homes, =
which comes out more attractive and al
Turing that ever. The booklet is literally
illustrated with scenes Of summer life
which are calculated to make the average
city dweller long for the quiet and pleas
ures OF sojourn in the Green Mountain
state. Best Of all, too, the Illustrations
are typical Of real summer vacations in
Vermont resorts and qniet village, and
are not made up" to catch the fancy
Of the seeker for recreation. only to have
him disappointed when the reality IS
spread before him. # these booklets are
widely scattered, as we suppose they are,
they should bring to the state a goodly
portion Of the summer vacationist bust
ness, while at the same time the railway
company will be reaping the benefits Of
the transportation service required The
New England States Limited trains
from Boston bring the vacationists into
the state with despatch and measure
of comfort. In fact, this branch of the
Central Vermont service is fully up to
the best there is in New England, and
the old jokes about che Flooding Central
Vermont train do not apply to the New
England States Limited"
