The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1910-03-10

Berlin is perfectly justified in try
ing to protect it's interests, but it is
mistaken as well as unneighborly in
proposing to interfere with its neigh
boris rights. But this is only the
result of little temporary prejudice
on the part of certain people up
there and the whole town should not
be condemned.

The town OF Berlin, Judging by the
action of it's town meeting, entertains
no neighborly feeling toward Mont
pelier and does not believe in
dwelling with it's brethren in har-
mony Montpelier has always been
fair and kind in it's treatment of Ber-
lin 1t has not resorted to condemna
ton proceedings in taking any land 1t
needed for the water works or the
proto ction of the water supply, al
though it has had a right to do so.
1t has bought what property it re-
quired and paid for it on the terms
of fair trade, such as any individ
ual might have made, and in its neigh
borly kindness has probably exceed
ed its corporate rights in Furnish
ing water to certain citizens OF Ber-
lin in what is now the annexed dis
trict. 1t has bought and paid for al,
the property in Berlin to which it
has acquired title and has an abso-
lutte right to use that property for
its own proper purposes in the sam
manner as a private owner.

The man who eats mushrooms If
his own gathering is regarded as a
crank, and dangerous one at that.
Yet there is no more danger in the
mushroom family than in the potato
family. 1t is not because the critics
regard the mushroom as specially
dangerous but because the mushroom
eater is different from them that they
critisice him. Any person who
would eat tomatoes used to be looked
upon in the same way. Most people
ere too much afraid of what other
people will say about them to enjoy
life. To them the world looks, as
Matthew Arnold described it, as a
gigantic clergyman with a white tie.
To live as they would like most peo-
pie would have to lose themselves in
the wilderness of the city or the soli-
tude of the country.

God sends us meat; the devil
sends us cooks is an oftquoted
maxim. "Those who gat indigo stion
or who become intoxicated know
neither how to eat or how to drink
wrote Brillat-Savarin, the famous
French authority, auther of the ply
siology of Taste" "A good restaurant
is more or less an epic poem" was
the dictum of Magny, George Sand
trusted him SO greatly that When her
son was suffering from a serious
malady she insisted that his medicines
and wines should be chosen b.
Magny and his food prepared by
Magny's own hands. 1t was to this
perfect doctor and impeccabie cook"
that we owe the preservation Of the
lie of the brilliant young man who
afterwarG wrote "Ma5ques ct Boat

Against these figures was the death %

discounted in the market for the reason
that it occurred Friday night ana Satur-
day the cotton exchange was cloSea as Il
mark of respect to the kings memory
Favorable reports from any sectloh OF
the belt were few and far between, ana
the consensus of opinion at the end OF
the week was that the crop was In a
torse state than was. the crop OF last
reasOn at this time. While many bears
admitted this, they contended that there
was still plenty Of time for Improvements

Kings Death Discounted.

Although London houses were closed.
numerous cables were received here by
banking firms from their London COR
respondents, all of these uniting in the
expression of an opinion that the full
shock attendant upon the demise of the
king had already been witnessed. After
the opening burst of strength in our
market today prices again declined mod
crately on realization sales, but the fall
was succeeded by another upward
movement, which left values in nine cases
out of ten at the highest of the day. If
there was one notable feature to the
days transactions ii was the especial
strength shown by Southern Pacific stock
which made net advance for the day

NEW YORK, May 1.-Business of
nearly every stock and commodity i'll the
world was either entirely suspended or
partially interrupted today by the death
Of the English king. In London the
markets and exchanges of every de-
scription were closed. Here the cotton
exchange was closed in the outset and
the stock exchange left off business at
IL O'Clock. In the single hour in which
business was transacted. however, the
radical improvement in the general
financial situation that became notable
toward the end of the week was once
more emphasized.
The market opened at large advances
over the final prices of yesterday, attest
ing correctness of experienced Observa-
ton at that time that such selling of
stocks as would have been induced by
the demise of the King of England had
already taken place or that. in other
words, the expected passing of the king
had been discounted after the usual

Barring the brief check given to
business and speculative operations
everywhere by the demise of the King
of England. all financial developments
this week have been of a much more
encouraging sort than any in recent
periods. and. despite the natural hest
tation and caution introduced by the
temporary unsettlement of affairs in
England consequent upon the death of
the king, sentiment in business and
financial circles at the weeks end
everywhere displayed decidedly in
creased cheerfulness. This has been
mostly due to the indubitable fact that
the money situation the world over has
become greatly relaxed
The collection of internal taxes
in England which has so long been a
matter of dread. has been proceeding
in the most satisfactory manner pos
sible, and money that has been held in
reserve awaiting a state of strain IS
now clearly relieved.
