TO ASK FOR MORE POWER
For the Vermont Public Service Com
mission-A Burlington Move.

Burlington, Oct. ls.A proposal to in.
crease the powers of the Vermont pub.
lie service commission has originated in
this city by the committee which i
trying to get new union railroad sta.

sentation to the legislature, and the
following committee was named to draw
up the proposed amendment. Secretary
Cowles Of the commercial club, CITY At.
torney Villas and John Whalem.
In addition to the present powers with
which the public service commission Is
vested, the proposed amendment would
specify that where two or more rail.
roads connect, they shall, If so ordered
by the public service commission. pro-
vide at the junction point Joint de-
pot. Also, if such depot is Joint
depot and the railroads cannot agree ia
providing such accommodations and for
the maintenance and use thereof. the
said commissioners may apportion the
cost thereof, and the expense of the
of the same between the
several roads, and provide the manner
in which it shall be maintained and
used.
In other words, the proposed legisla
tion would give to the public service
commission the same power over the
union stations as it now possesses over
separate stations. With the addition
of the foregoing amendment no change
n the law relating to the powers of the
public service commission is proposed.

THE HEART OF YOUTH.

We have been told that as long as
we keep our hearts young we need
have no fear OF the depressing ioneli-
ness of advancing years, and many
writer's more or less experienced in
such matters have suggested many
ways in which we can accomplish that
desired end. No two natures. however,
are alike, and 1t follows that no set OF
hard and fast rules can be made to APP
ply to each distinct personality. The
man or woman who passes through life
alive to the blessings which abound on
every side rarely ceases TO become an
active contributor to the lives of others,
and as long as a person actually par
ticipates In any work, large or small,
the influence OF his personality Ia
bound to be felt and his counsel re-
garded. 1t is only when one has tired
Of the game, or enters only half-heart'
eddy into affairs outside of his own
special interests that he ceases to ex'
ercise any influence, and his individu'
Rlity is no longer recognized. Enthusi
nsm seems in some way to be an at
tribute of the youthful character; al
any rate, It is far easier to become in
terested in what is going on in our i'm
mediate circle when the pulse beats
high and the blood courses warmly
than in later years when 80 many o.
us are concerned only with our own af
fairs and evince but small interest IL
the doings Of others.

There is new reform out In Iowa,
and 1t is started by 1S young ladies',
prominent in social circles, who have
at last discovered the abomination that
exists In mere gossip. and 80 they have
organized to suppress 1t, says Ohio
State Journal. They call their organi.
cation the "Antigossip society,"" This
10 fine effort. 1t means intellectual
and moral uplift. 1t means that con.
Versation shall deal with real things
with science, philosophy, literature,
history, nature and those things that
adorn and uplift life. 1t is not to be
thought for an instant that it is the
young women alone that need to or.
ganize for this high purpose. The
male section of mankind needs lust
such a reformatory movement. We
might say they need it more than the
women.

In the good old days they used to
have signboards at the crossroads In
the country region to point the pilgrim
on his way. 1t was always CHEEKY
sign. 1t spoke a welcome to the stran'
ger. 1t indicated a disposition to be
helpful. But these signboards are
nearly all gone. Only now and then
you see one, and then 1t seems like the
relic of bygone friendship. 1t seems
to say to the stranger: 1--WE once took
an interest in you, but we do SO no
longer; If you don't know the way,
what do we care?" That is the stu.
alton today; forlorn one, indeed; a
cheerless one. No little sign thrown
out, saying: I'VE are thinking of you,
we care for you, We want you to go
right" Now, this ought not to be.
Tss.-gOe NM, anu 20 ten MIN the way he
ought to go. This thought is getting
some Roadway In Massachusetts,
where there is an effort to restore the
signboards, and to give to the stranger
the help of knowing where he is.
