have one formed. Cases of cruelty to
animals are not frequent, but there
should be some organization to look
after them when they do occur. Cases
the still more scarce, yet there are
children who need protection from
their environment if from nothing

peopled with dissolute people, with
no one to care for him in any way

The First Regiment of Infantry,
Vermont National Guard, will prob
ably Join the United States forces in
maneuvres at Pine Camp, New York,
some time next August, although the
actual dates have not been deter

this camp two years ago for the
maneuvres.

An involuntary petition in bank

of Clerk F. S. Platt. The petitioning
creditors are the Glover File COM

This is not an isolated case There
are plenty of them in Montpelier
There is no use in a curfew law to
send them home at night. Home is
not a cheerful comfortable or benefi-
cial place for them to go. They will
learn less of evil and suffer less of
discomfort on the streets But they
ought not to be suffered to grow up
in this way We don't want
to raise paupers, inebriates,
criminals or degenerates. If we want
the next generation to be decent, res
pectable citizens we must give those
who will constitute it chance to be
decent and respectable. And, if we
are going to give them such a chance
we must get down among them, find
out how they live and how their man
ner of living may be remedied. 1t is
bad enough for grown people to live
in squalor and degradation, but it is
thousand times worse to condemn
to such a life children who cannot
help themselves. Enlightened self
interest, to say nothing of the ordin-
airy feelings of humanity, should
prompt us to alleviate the conditions
to which some of these seem to be
condemned?

Unitarian Centennial.

The Burlington Unitarian centenni-

with the unwilling of a Memorial
tablet, which has been placed in the
vestibule of the church, on the east
side of the center aisle entrance.
The tablet is of statuary bronze, two
by three feet in size, and bears the
following inscription:

y money is gone and

day money is gone and the
bombs and crackers and the
rockets have all been expended the
noise and tumult continues. Nothing
would be added to the public discom-
fort by formal, authorized celebra-
ton, and much might be gained by
having it. Montpelier will be the
gamer by every effort made to get
people in the habit of coming to the
city. The business men realize it and
have instituted Merchants Day. Peo-
pie in the neighboring towns like to
come to Montpelier on public occa-
sions. They would come in large
numbers for a Fourth of July cele-
bration. We are asking them to come
once a week and spend their none,
in our stores. Why not ask then
to come once year and let us spend
some money for their entertainments.
They will appreciate it and we will
have a good time.

Have you quit eating meat?" ask
ed the Economical Citizen.
NO said the Philosopher, why
should -"
"The price is too high. 1t is
cheaper to eat fish and eggs and veg
etables. 1t ought to be done to
check the rapacity of the meat pack
ers. And besides it is better for you
to eat less meat and more of some
thing else"
Perhaps the price is too high,
but the price of everything else goes
along with that of meat. With eggs
at forty cents a dozen they are no
cheaper than meat. | don't see how
we can check the rapacity of the
packers, the beef trust, by any little
two by four boycott. They don't
produce a great supply of beef which
they must dispose of at some price.
They buy their raw supply from day
to day. If the demand decreases they
will buy less from the men who raise
beef. If it is necessary to cut down
the price to the consumer they Will
reduce the price to the producer.
Their profit will be looked after in

Some years ago when trout were
plentiful in the waters hereabouts
an East Montpelier man on his way
home, stopped near brook to catch
mess of trout. 1t was the right
time of day and year, the trout biz

size and in large numbers. Having no
creel with him he threw them far up
on the bank, where they could not

up the bank, and as he turned to
walk up there and pick them up he

You did just right in what you
said about the Central Vermont"
writes a friend of this column, refer
ring to something that appeared last
week, only you didn't make it Sc
we're enough. The company has
MIXED Montpelier year after year.
They began it before the road wa.
built and they've kept it up evel
since. Montpelier was an easy mark
and they've always treated it so. The
city never got anything FIX n the road
it didn't pay richly for, and Il has
given to the road freely and abund-
antly. That matter of a sign is
small thing but it serves to show
what the situation is When the road
was in the hands of Vermonters we
didn't say much about it, but now
that foreigners have got held of it
and are running it in the interest of
foreigners, we feel different. If
there was any other way of getting
into and out of the city readily the
Central would get mighty little bust
ness from Montpelier. The Wells
River road charges higher fares than
the Central, but | know number of
men who travel on that line when
they can and pay the extra price "a

the only way they can make money
is out of dairying. They send milk
to Boston or take it to the creamery
and when they get a check spend
the most of it at the feed store that
they may get more milk to buy more
feed and so on round the circle.
They can raise beef animals here as
cheaply as in the West and it would
be money in their pockets to pay
some attention to raising beef"
But domestic beef isn't so good as
that we get from the West
That's just where you are making
great mistake. We can raise here
better beef in every way than the
West can produce"
We'll, why don't WEI"
I'VE do. But there is so mach pre-
JUDGE that our market men who
buy domestic beef sell it as Western
while the supply we get from the
meat cart of the local butcher is the
only thing we know as domestic
beef. After a COW has given her best
years in the dairy she may be worth
something as meat, but will not pro-
duce fine quality of beef. Ycu
couldn't expect to get a juicy steak
or a tender roast from her stringy
carcass. Neither can you make the
best two year old, kill it today and
cook it tomorrow and have good
meat 1t must be ripened as the
Western beef l.. If our people once
got accustomed to good domestic
beef they would put the beef trust
out of business in Vermont"
