the former governor declared. "It

makes for the opposite of all these

Big Business would take from all

Conservation would take nothing

ever, that statement needs to be ana
/ lyzed, in order to show that the granite

might be led to believe from the figures.
1t is probable that the granite industry
made its usual gains during the months

in four months OF the period it is not
possible to make comparison, because
of the complete suspension Of the in

of course, there were no shipments Of
! finished granite and comparatively little
Of rough stock Then, too, for consider
able time after the resumption Of work
last spring. the shipments were not up
to the normal, because of the fact that
the work had been delayed Therefore,
the loss in granite shipments over the
Central Vermont, as shown by the an
nual report is readily accounted for;
and this explanation is made so that
people may not be led to believe that
there is decline in the business On
the contrary, the business is advancing
steadily, and the next annual report is
likely to show that a much larger per-
centage Of the CentraIs annual shipment
consisted of granite.
The part which the granite industry
plays Ia the development Of the rail
roads is shown by the table Of tonnage
carried on the Central Vermont during
the past year, But three other single
products surpassed it, those being grain,
coal and lumber. The second OF those
lis not Vermont product, while the total
grain and lumber shipments do not orig
mate in Vermont; hence they are not
distinctly Vermont products, whereas,
the granite handled by the Central Yer
mont is practically all Vermont stone.
Possibly the tonnage Of Vermont lumber
exceeds that Of Vermont granite, since
the percentage of the former was about
twice that OF the stone But whether
first or second. granite, it is certain,
is contributing greatly to the volume of
business carried by the Central Vermont
railroad, and the industry is deserving of
recognition whenever occasion arises.

Divorce Laws.

Two or three bills already introduced
in the general assembly indicate a de-
sire in some quarters to strengthen the
divorce laws.
What is more Yitally needed is a
strengthening of the marriage laws.
Make secret and hasty marriages prac-
tieally impossible, by requiring reason
able public announcement Of the intend
ed marriage and b. whom the rite is to
be performed; furthermore, allow no
clergyman who is not ia active charge
of parish to perform the marriage
ceremony
Amendments along these lines as a
starter would do much towards lessen
ing the business of divorce courts A
little later other amendments could be
added that would still further lessen un-
desirable marriages.
