LESSENING SMUGGLING.
Big Increase in Sums Collected from
Steamship Passengers.

Big Increase in Sums Collected from
Steamship Passengers.
From the New York Commercial.
In 1907 there were So 293 cabin passen-
gers arriving at this port. and on the
piers they paid S4S7. 921 in duties on per-
sonal effects imported. In 1908 the num-
Der OF passengers was less-only 2S, 5is-
and they paid $4,000 in duties. Now the
change begins-a more vigorous search
OF baggage, some important arrests for
smuggling. the imposition of fines, and
more or less alarm among returning Eu-
ropean tourists For 1903 the passenger
arrivals were 295S46. and they paid in du-
ties S1,04I,378 an increase of only about
5000 passengers. but the duties paid by
them were considerably more than double
the amount for tftF preceding year. Law
enforcement was having its inevitable
effect
For the first nine months OF 1910 the
number of cabin passengers was 24S,352,
and they gave up in duties on the piers
total OF S1,04S, $50, which means that at the
close of the year the pier collections viii
probably aggregate at least 81. 400, 600 or
three times those OF 1905 In addition. the
government has already collected in
smuggling fines this year more than
100000, in one instance So, 900. OF course,
there will always be smuggling ocean

to reduce it to a minimum is to keep the

BAND ENTERTAINMENT ASUCCESS

About 250 people attended the con-
cert and entertainment by the Barton
cornet band held in Seaver's hall last
evening. The program consisted of
selec tions by the band, a baritone solo
by Charles Buswell with band accom-
paniment and a clariOnet solo by A.
Slayto Lang, accompanied on the
piano by Mrs. Batchelder. Both solos
were exceptionally we'll rendered and
were highly praised. The program
was made complete with three num-
bers by Miss Daisy Stevens of Derby,
a reader of natural ability. 1t would
be hard to single out one of her se'ec-
tions as best, since they were all eX-
cellert and were loudly applauded.
Miss Stevens is young reader, and
one OF natural talent, and we bespeak
for her bright future. Tickets for
the entertainment were sold on the
contest plan and the contest closed
with the concert. Miss Ferrin, G. +.
Uamblet and w. w. Hartwell kindly
acted as judges and counted the votes
and awarded the prizes as follows.
The first prize, gold clock, was
awarded to Miss Isabel Campbell.
who had polled 1885 votes The sec
ond prize. a Parker Lucky Curve foun
tain pen, was awarded to Miss Myrtle
Maxwell, who had 2e25 votes. The
third prize gold locket and chain,
was awarded to Miss Lucille Hobson,
who had 1910 votes. The standing OF
the other contestants was as follows,
Mary Uric, 1880; Ruth Gleason, 7I5
Marjorie Thompson IT'S and Katherine
Simon, $50 votes. All the contestants
did fine work and the management of
the band wish to thank them for their
earnest efforts in helping make the
enter tainment a success financially
and otherwise. The ticket receipts
were $3.50 which will net fairly
good amount for the benefit of the band
stand.

Mrs. Fosters mother lived to be 1O4
years old. Looking back over the
events Of a hundred years one of Mrs.
Fosters happiest memories and one
on which she delights to dwell is the
fact that she rocked the cradle that
held future governor and United
States senator, Carroll S. Page. In
her early thirties she worked in the
home of Senator Pages parents and
when IN 1843, son was born, she
was one of his first nurses. Count

privations that Mrs. Foster can re-

civil war when her husband and boy

horrors of Andersonville prison. In
the quiet of little farm home perched
on the high hills of Sutton, she is
spending her last days, and while her
mind dwells much on the past, she still
retains an active interest in all about
her. This remarkable woman, who has
lived to see the fourth generation is
enjoying her second sight. The
glasses which she wore for years are
now discarded. She enjoys looking
over the papers, and often watches the

OUR LEGISLATIVE LETTER
Six Weeks OF Session and No Harm Done.
Weights and Measures. Liquor Laws.
State Board of Trade. Trustee Bill
in Committee of Conference.

The legislature of 1910 has had six
full weeks of Legislative existence and
in spite of the fact that but few bills
have as yet found their way to the
governor. this legislature has been a
good working body and have accom-
plished something. The past week
especially has been productive Of good
results and vast amount of business
has been turned off. We have seen
signs that Vermont is moving forward
and there are signs of new Vermont,
Vermont which may at last take its
place among the galaxy of sister
states. 1t has at last become possi-
BILE to overcome the prejudice against
taking a step forward rather than
marking time. The people through
their representatives seem to be will
ing to take the bull by the horns and
the representatives themselves seem
to be willing to assume the RESPONSE
bility that is upon them and act for
the good of the state. This iegisla-
ture seems willing to be progressive
and constructive rather than dilatory
and destructive Please understand
that | am not whitewashing this
legislature, but | do say that in this
legislature, in the house especially,
the state of Vermont has representa-
tives who are willing to take a step
in advance without being swerved
from their path by personal preju-
dices and profit. | speak of the house
especially because the senate has not
as yet been called upon to act on any
matter touching the individual purse
strings of the senators. We have no
reason to expect that the senate will
not act in full accord with the house
on every really important matter
touhing the welfare Of the whole
state. The Vermont people have
something to be thankful for and if
the present legislature will consider
the tax reform bills and the state
publicity bills as candidly, earnestly,
and honestly as they did the weights
and measures bill this state will in
deed see the approaching dawn of a
new era and the New Vermont
may become a reality. It has been
said repeatedly during the past
three weeks that every interest was
represented here except the people.
The passage of the weights and meas
ures bill by the house on Friday proves
that the oft repeated statement was a
slander. If this legislature will con-
tinue to break away from powerful
lobbies and from their financially in
terested constituents, they may make
a name for themselves and a future
for their state. Several times during
the past week some member has asked
that action on bill be postponed
until he could go home and see his
constituents and the house has refused
to hold the matter open. Too often a
member has but one CIR two constitu-
ents whom he wishes to see and their
interests would not coincide with the
interests of the people at large. A
members oath binds him to act for
the best interests of the whole people
and no reference is made therein to
his particular constituents.
