VERMONT GRANTEES PART.

According 10 the Barre Times, the
rranite OF Vermont plays a major part
1n supporting the Vermont Central
railroad The Times says:
The part which the granite industry
plays in the development Of the rail-
roads IL shown BY the table OF tonnage
carried on thu Central Vermont dur
ing the past year. But three other
single products surpassed IT. those be-
ing grain. coal and lumber. The sec
ond OF those is not Vermont prod
-lct, while the total grain and lumber
shipments DO not originate in Yer
mont; hence they are not distinctly
vermont products, whereas the gran
lite handed ky the Central Vermont is
pracctcsliy all Vermont stone. Posi-
sniy the tonnage OF Vermont lumber
exceeds That Of Vermont granite. since
the perCeIstase OF the former was
Il bout twice that Of the state. But
whether nrst or second. granite, it is
certain is contributing greatly TO the
volume Of business carried by the Cen
rral Vermont railroad, and the indus
Try is deserving % recognition when
ever occasion arises"
There was 9 decrease Of granite
shipments over the central Vermont
raiircaS' during tho fiscal year ending
June 50 1919. OVER that OF the year
just previous. readily accounted for BY
the conditions which existed in the
PARE belt' during four months Of
that peziod. IN the annual report Of
the ralroad which was issued yester-
day. che total tonnage Of granite
moved during the last fiscal year was
131.t25. against 152,O46 for the fiscal
err which ended june 80. 1903. That
showed decided loss Of 32.s21 tons OF
granite. However. that statement
needs to be analysed in order to show
that the granite industry Of the state
did not increase during last year. as
the casual Inspector might be led TO
believe from abe figures. 1t Is proba Die
tbax the granite industry made its
usual gains during the months in
which comparison can be made: but
IN four months OF the period it is not
possible 20 make comparisons, because
OF the complete suspension Of the in
dustry in WASHINGTON county. owing
10 the labor disputes.

On Reforming Christmas,

Not content with rernodeling the
Fourth OF July, ultra Jealous reform
ers are now advocating drastic chang
es in Christmas. Most of their at
tacks on the winter festival are di-
rected towards the giving Of gifts,
which, they say, is productive of jea1-
ousy and hypocrisy, to say nothing of
extrava gance. 1t is true that many
give beyond their means, often against
their will: and those with little money
fool1shly try to compete with those
who have much. People with whom
we have long exchanged gifts, yet for
whom we have perhaps ceased to care,
will send us something, and we must
not be outdone. Now if there must be
reform, let it be here. II we no long
er desire to exchange gifts with some
one, let US have the courage to write
friendly note and explain that we
prefer not TO this year. It is quite
possible that our friend will be as
glad to stop as are we. Or, send sim
ply a card or a friendly letter. re-
CARELESS of what may be sent to us.
The hint is pretty sure to be taken
the following year.
The exchanging OF gifts has been a
feature of Christmas for centuries To
me, it is a most beautiful custom. if
notice the fit be done in the proper
and good viii. If two loving hearts
exchange gifts Of equal monetary
value, each prizes what he receives far
above the value in dollars and cents
of what he has given. Nor do I hold
with the doctrine that it is better to
send merely cards or letters on Christ
mas day and give to the poor the mon
ey we should otherwise have spent |
am selfish enough to want some OF the
Christmas fun myself; and / want my
relatives and friends to have some,
too. | always feel that Christmas day
is sacred to my dear ones. Reformers
may tell us that the furs which a man
purposes giving to his wife would buy
many dinners for the hungry, and
many dolls and toys to make glad
the hearts of ragged little ones; but
well, I should be sorry for the poor
folk, but If it were my wife, she would
get the furs. This is not a plea to
abolish giving to the poor on this day
of days; it is merely q plea for mod
Grafton. Let US remember the poor,
let US give-bountifully if we can-to
help them; but-don't let's overdo by
failing to give gifts to those near to
us.
Another thing: In giving to the poor
or, for that matter, to the moder-
ately well to do--let us not give only
useful articles Those in whose lives
luxuries seldom come will appreciate
it all the more if they receive some
thing which they would not have need
ed any way. Socks and groceries may
be of more practical value than bon
bons and gift books, but if the latter
will promote happiness, let us by all
means give theTn.--R. T. H. in De-
cember Lippincott's.

NeM Yorkrs Gain.

1t is probable that the census will
show population for all the states
of about 91,000,000. In that case as
the New York Times points out, a
population of 9,11s.279 will assure that
state one-tenth of the number of rep
resentatives in the lower branch of
congress, whatever may be the num-
Der finally decided upon. If the num-
Der is left as now, 391, New York
state would have 80 representatives
instead of 81, as now: while if the
present rate of apportfonment is left
unchanged around 10000, in order to
save many states, including most of
the central western, from reduction
in their representation, New York
would have As or As, a gain of eight.
In any case, the power of the EN-
pire state in the house will increase
rather than diminish as a result of
this enumeration, relatively to the
power of the central and valley states
in that body.-Springfeld Republican.

Some Call Il Sport.

Deer hunting in Massachusetts
shocks the tender hearted and hardly
edifies the true sportsman. A factory
was closed two days ago thar all hands
might go deer shooting, and the sport
is carried on largely in this wholesale
fashion, so that the panic stricken
creatures, treated for fifty weeks of the
year like barnyard cattle, are escaping
as best they may into Connecticut and
other bordering states. Every unslxill-
cd man or boy with a weapon at COM
mand is cut fo4 slaughter, and the
deer, If they have some rudiments Of

gone mad. The hunt under natural
conditions is a noble and exflilarating
sport, one that brings a man near to
nature. fills his lungs with wholesome
air and his limbs with a WEAKNESS
that makes sleep sweet and waking a
delight, but on any terms but those or
hardship patiently endured in the de-
Ecious wilds of nature hunting is lit
tie better than butclery. The populous
districts of Eastern Massachusetts are
no longer the natural haunts of big
game, and our efforts to make them
such have eventuated in a dangerous
sort of aibsurdity-BoSton Herald.
