DISPOSAL OF GRANITE WASTE.

The Journal prints today an az
count of the difficulties which the
granite producers and the granite
manufacturers are facing in the dis
position Of the large amount Of
waste, or grout, which accumulates
very rapidly at the cuarries and at
the cutting sheds. Az business in
creases the problem naturally b.
comes more serious, and available
land for dumping purposes becomes
more remote and more expensive.
In many modern industries the
question of profit and loss depends in
no inconsiderable degree upon the
Utilization of the by-products. 1t is a
familiar remark in the big pork pack
ing establishments that every part
of the hog is put to some useful pur-
pose with the exception of the squeal.
How to reduce business waste to a
minimum is the task of the modern
industrial expert. Washington county
is the great center of the high grade
is an excellent demand for the stone
and business is booming. Much mon
ey could be saved, however, and an
added impetus given to the trade if
some satisfactory method of handling
the waste could be devised. AS these
great piles of grout mount higher,
the cost of disposal naturally in
creases. More land must be purchas-
ed, often at high prices, and the in
creased distance it must be trans
ported adds much to the general ex-
penses of operation.
Newspapers are not we'll qualified
to solve this difficult problem, but
conditions are economically wrong,
speaking purely from a theoretical
point of view, when SO much granite
has to be wasted, and it costs so much
to throw it away. OF course the ele-
ment of transportation is vital fac
tor. The grout cannot be sold for
much and if it is to be carried long
distances the cost of shipment makes
such movement Improbable. II
seems reasonable that there should be
some way of using this waste granite
! to a greater extent in the bulldog
| of good roads. Vermont needs better
roads, hundreds of miles of them, and
| the granite producers need to get rid
of the grout. If there is any practi-
cable way Of using this waste in the
building of trunk line highways it
ought to be worked out by those vi
tally intrusted.
Probably no people have been more
successful than the Americans il
solving difficult industrial problems
Some bright man, or men, ought to
be able to devise method of using
this vast amount of waste granite for
! some useful purpose in a manner that
will change this heavy item of loss
Ito the profit column of the ledger
Such solution would be worth many
thousands of dollars to the granite
| industry and it ought to be worth
while FOR many capable men to give
their attention to solving this import
ant industrial problem.

c. D. WATSON's NOMINATION
(Rutland Nc-ys.)

Vermont Democrats in State con.
vention az st. Adams have nominated
decidedly strong men for Governor
and Lieutenant Governor respective
ly in Charles d. Watson of St. AL
bans and Harland B. Howe of st.
Johnsbury. 60 Both of these men
were real leaders in the last Vermont
General Assembly although members
of the microscopic minority Fortu-
nate is the political party of whatever
name in Vermont or elsewhere that
has men of the calibre of Watson and
Howe. Both are actually good enough
to be Republicans.

RAILROAD STRIKE ON

to appoint board of arbitration I'M
der the Mulock act This act preced-
ed the Lemieux act, under which sat
the board of Cancellation whose award
the men refused to accept although
it was signed by their representative
on the board. The Mulock act does
not, however, go as far as the Lem
ieux act, inasmuch as it imposes no
penalties whatever but simply pro-
vides for an inquiry to be made into
the matters at issue, provision being
made for the appointment of an arbi-
traitor should one of the parties re-
fuse to name one. The Grand Trunk
made application to the minister of
labor for the appointment of a board
of arbitration under this act but the
minister considering the reference un-
der the Lemieux act sufficient. Under
the Mulock a municipality affected
may make application for the ap-
pointment Of arbitrators and the in
tentlon is to make the city council,
if possible repeal the demand which
the minister of labor has already re-
fused in the application of the rail-
way company. The report of Sec
ond board of arbitration could not
affect the companys position and
might strengthen it.

PRESS COMMENT
What the Newspapers Of Vermont
and Other States Are Saying
About Topics Of Interest to
Journal Readers.
THE CAMPAIGN.
(St. Adams Messenger).

The question is, how much of
sentiment in the Republican party of.
Vermont the st. Johnsbury Caledon-
ian represents when it refuses to
A. Mead for the Governorship. That
there is some disaffection in the
ranks is plain enough. That there
are some Republicans that will not
vote for the head of the ticket at the
polls in September is plain enough.
Some of these men come out boldly
and say SO. others smile and say
nothing, which is often more signifi-
cant. And still others openly avow
their intention to vote for the Demo-
cratic candidate, without any equiv
ocation whatever.
The campaign has not opened yet.
There is something to be looked for
and confidently expected.

(MorriSWlle News and Citizen).
One thing is certain andthat is the
Republicans of Vermont fight their
battles-with each other-before the
nominations are made When that is
done all line up as they should for
the success of the ticket the majority
has placed in nomination. There is
unanmity all around and the ticket
gets a good majority in September.
That is the reason Vermont is rock
ribbed Republicans. AS with the
rank and file of the party, so with
the press. The papers may not a.
gree before the convention as to who
are the best men for office, but after
it is decided in convention the result
to accept and the ticket gets the
united support of the press.

MILLIONS FOR
CHILDRENS TEETH

BOSTON, March 13.-Thomas F.
Forsyth, wealthy resident of this city
plans to give $2,OOO,OOO for the care
of the teeth of the Boston school chill
dren. AS a perpetual foundation by
which every child from birth to the
age of 16 years may receive the most
expert dental services free this dona-
ton will prove a boon to thousands
of school children. Land has been pur-
chased and the money with which will
be erected a building equipped with
every modern dental apparatus and
manned by a corps of the best dentists
in the state has been set aside by For
syth. The passage of a bill for incor-
poration by the Legislature is all thai
remains to be done before the work of
building is started.
The Forsyth Dental Infirmary, as the
institution will be called, was con-
ceived by the millionaire founder on
reading of the lamentable neglect OF
children's teeth and the lifelong evil
consequences Of this neglect.

along the river bank at Nunoye by
Shiden. They were pursued by a
Waterman, however, who appealed to
villagers for assistance. The villa
gers came out and, supposing the re-
fugees to be thieves, caught one OF
them and knocked him down. The
other two returned to the asylum and
informed their fellow lepers. There

100 in number, Indignantly marched
out and made their way to Nunoya,

raided the houses of the villagers and
smashed everything they could lay
their hands on. The staff of the asy-
lum came to the rescue, and after a
struggle, got their patients under
control and brought them back to the
asylum. But here the lepers became
more violent than ever and smashed
the watch house. At last the police
were summoned and the patients

ceeded to great prosperity Wage
earners have all they can do and at
unusually high rates of pay. There
has belp some complaint about high
prices, but l do not think they have
been so high as to cause suffering
Cur opponents have been attempting
to charge high prices to the new
tariff law. But the recent high prices
have been in those industries with re-
spect to which the tariff rates were
either lowered or altogether removed.
"To put the blame on the poor old
tariff bill is-to use a moderate ex-
9rcssicn-unjust"
President Taft reviewed the legisla-
tiau he has recently recommended to
Congress, running over the details Of
the various II easures in practically
the same language as his Rochester
speech He declared he had attempt
err to carry out the Roosevelt policies
and asserted also, he was attempting,
so far as he could, to carry out the
pledges of the party platform. He
referred to the postal savings bank
bill. the interstate commerce amend
ments, the conservation, statehood
and anti-injunction bills.
CAS- both the labor unions and the
manufacturing interests seem to be
opposed to the anti-injunction BILL" he
said, at must be a fair measure, and
I hope it will pass"
The President declared because he
attempted to convey his views to Con-
gress in some detail" there had arisen
talk of executive usurpation.
TALK OF UsURPATIoN FOOLISH.
"The danger of executive usurpation
in this country" he added" is rather
the subject of the fervid Imagination
of the political orator than something
on which to base fear Of the stability
of our institutions"
Referring to the passage of the cor
poration tax law as one of the things
that should be cited as bold politics, -
President Taft said he had always IA
vored such tax, but created a roar
Of laughter when he added, Certain
elements in this community supposed
to exercise great influence, Senators
Aldrich and Wetmore, were not just
enamored of it."
The President closed with a discus
sion of the interstate commerce bin
and the anti injunction act; conserva-
ton and other measures, which he had
recommended to Congress.
When he had concluded his speech,
President Taft was presented with a
magnificent gold casket as a souvenir
Of his visit This token of esteem
seemed deeply to affect him. In
acknowledging the gift he said:

this evidence of your generosity and
your confidence. The Presidency is not
an easy burden, and ones spirit some

Taft
Defends Tariff

PROVIDENCE, (R ~, March 21.-
With Senator Aldrich seated at his
left hand, President Taft tonight earn
estly defended the Payne-Aldrich Ia
riff bill in his address at the annual
dinner of the New England Manufac-
turing jewelers. and Silversmiths' AS
ISOLATION. Taft received most en-
thusiastic greeting.
The President also expressed the
hope that it would not be necessary TO
apply the maximum tariff rates against
Canada, thus bearing out the reports
of yesterday that the negotiations
with the Dominion Government had
taken more favorable turn.
81 can't go on the floor Of the House
or Senate" said the President, 80 |
have to accept opportunities like this
to give vent to my views. At the re-
cent extra session of Congress we
passed new tariff bill, which has
been the subject, many say, of con-
siderable discussion. But the proof
Of the pudding is in the eating.
WHAT THE NEW LAW HAS DONE.
Seven months of the new tariff Law
have proved number of things.
First, it is the best revenue getter
We ever had.
Second, it has shown it has the
largest free list.
Third, it has shown the rates OF
the Dingley bill have been materially
reduced.
Fourth, by creation of a customs
court it has provided a means for the
speedy and just administration of the
customs law.
Fifth, it has provided free trade
with the Philippines-a measure of
justice that should have been given
as far back at 1900.
Sixth, it has furnished to the Exc
cutive, by the maximum and minimum
principle leverage to secure from all
foreign countries fair treatment for
American products without undue dis
elimination.
We are almost through with our
negotiations under this clause Of the
law, and 1 very much hope that we
shall be able to conclude without APP
plication of a miximum rate to any
country, At any rate, this provision
has enabled us to secure for American
trade freedom from discrimination
from which, at times in the past, i
has suffered.
