End of the Successful Munsey Tour.
The Afunsey historic tour which ended
at Washington yesterday, was an al.
around success.
In the first place, tie fact that less
than half of the contestants succeed
ed in making perfect scores proves that
the tour was thorough test Of reliable
lty and that the automobile manufactur-
ers, and through them the automobile
owners, will profit BY il. Such a run,
made under conditions likely to be met
by the average motorist in this part Of
the country, is not only interesting but
important
The receptions met by the tourists
have been extremely hospitable. Pub
lie officials and automobiles in general
We'd with one another to give the Mum
sey tourists fine greeting and parting
The enthusiastic celebration here in Bos-
ton was typical OF the cordial interest
shown all along the route. The readers
Of The Boston journal and the other
Munsey papers shared their appreciation
Of the striking features Of the contest
with Automobiles all oven the country.
The large number Of different makes
Of machines participating together with
the fame OF the drivers and the high
standing Of the officials made the tour
from the outset the most attractive event
of its kind ever held in the country,
and the results will unquestionably prove
stimulating to the automobile world,
Though the list Of penalization is
long one, it is only fair to note that
III many instances the unfavorabIe points
incurred were so slight as to emphasize
the generally meritorius showing OF the
penalized machines. And, Of course, this
still further emphasizes the remarkable
success Of the cars that went from start
TO finish without disclosing q fault
The Journal is indeed proud OF its
connection with such a popular enter
prise.--Boston Journal.

win Vermont become the nations
abandoned farm9--Boston Herald.
No, decidedly no. Vermont will not
become the nations abandoned farm
for obvious reasons. In the first place,
Vermont is making progress in spite
OF the reports to the contrary; it is
making progress in agriculture, in min
ing and quarrying, in manufacturing
and in that newer industry, the enter
tainment Of summer visitors IN the
field Of agriculture, there is new spirit,
the old ideals Of a mere living of the
land having been superseded by the
more ambitious purpose Of utilizing the
soil to its utmost capacity; in other
words, scientific farming is being rap
idly introduced throughout the state by
means Of active agents from the state

ment Of agriculture and from the ex-
amples Of the great western country.
Vermont il just on the point Of stepping
into new agricultural era, for which
it is eminently fitted through location
so near the great markets Of the eastern
country, like New York and Boston.
TO further prevent Vermont from be-
coming the nations abandoned farm"
we have but to delye deeper and wider
into the bowels Of the earth and bring
forth minerals and ores Of almost price
less economic value. Vermont's granite,
marble, slate, asbestos ana other prod
uets are increasing in output each year,
and Vermont Is reaping great measure
of prosperity through them. They alone
are enough to prevent the state from
going backward. Furthermore, no sin
gle year in the past decade has been
50 full Of manufacturing investments in,
various sections Of the state, but par
ticularly in the southern, as during the
past year. Large industries have opened
their doors, hundreds Of new workmen
have been set to work and the prosper
ity Of the manufacturing business il
enough to lend distinct encouragement.
Then, too, the incoming crowd Of sum
mer visitors, attracted by yermont's
matchless scenery, pure air and good
water, is being added to yearly; and
many Of these people are taking up par
manent residence in the state while
others are investing their money in the
abandoned land for the purpose or trans
forming it into place for summer resi-
denee, while at the same time they are
bringing the soil to state of eultiva-
ton which has not been reached since
its naturally great productive period.
