A Great Industry.

In all the history of manufacturing in
the United States nothing has ever
equaled the marvellous growth in the
making of automobiles.
Ten years ago the manufacture of
automobiles in this country was practf-
cally unknown, and as late as 1903, only
seven short years ago, the number of
cars was less than II, 900. Last year the
output was lis, 900, while the estimate
for the number of machines to be placed
on the market is 10000. Valuing these
as worth $4,000 apiece, the total foots up
to the magnificent figure of $500, 900, 900
an amount of money far in excess OF the
original estimate of the cost of the Pana-
ma canal.
At first, France took nold of the auto
mobile with zest that this country knew
nothing about, but now the demand is
so urgent that the manufacturers cannot
meet it, and everywhere plants are being
enlarged.
The growth OF this country in real
wealth is demonstrated very clearly by
an industry which unknown ten years
ago calls for one third Of a billion dollars
expenditure this year and future which
is unlimited.

Munseys Magazine for Marcl contains
a symposium on The Business Outlook
for 1910" in which the governors OF the
various states express their views. The
place of honor at the head of the column,
is given to Gov. Prouty of Vermont, who
Optimistically says:
Vermont looks forward with confidence
to an era of prosperity in 1910 because
OF the great Improvement which has al
ready taken place; because our factories
and mills are busy, and because OF the
contemplated additions TO their capacity
The marble industry is flourishlng as
never before; the granite business only
awaits tle settlement OF a strike to re-
sumo its greatest prosperity. The farm
ers are more prosperous than ever before
in our history; but more than all, YER
mont looks for prosperity because Of the
awakening of her people to a greater
appreciation OF the opportunities within
her borders, and TO a general determine
tion to make the most of them, as evi-
denced by increased interest in education.

Hart o. Berg, who has been in this
country to see what can be done with
the gyroscope monorail car owned by
August Scherl of Berlin, says that nothing
serious would happen 10 a car If the ap-
paratus got out Of order, THE car would
retain its equilibrium" he explains, "for
the horoscopes would not stop. Although
very little power, in comparison with the
driving motor is necessary to start them,
the gyroscopes have an extraordinary
high speed making as much as 5000 revo-
lutions in a minute, Even II the current
was shut off they would keep revolving
for hours, possessing sufficient power to
keep the car balanced for at least half
an hour Besides the car has stays that
can be dropped from the sides"

sRArLEsoRo's VOTE ON LICENSE.

The result Of Brattleboro's vote on the
license question on Tuesday is gratifying,
not only because il was decisive but
because il shows Enthusiastically the senti-
ment of our people. There is no doubt
that practically the fun license vote was
polled, and it can be accepted and count
votes will be cast each year Were public
sentiment really aroused and a fun no.
license vote cast there is no doubt that
this years no-license majority could be
multiplied by three.
1t ought to be remembered. and will
be remembered, during the coming year,
that the main argument Of the advocates
Of license was based this year on the
number Of doctors prescriptions which
were written and filled. There is no
doubt that the physicians of Brattleboro
as a whole have intended, and do intend,
to obey both the letter and the spirit Of
the law. II there are any who do not
do this during the coming year they can
be dealt with-and in the present state
Of public sentiment 1t is safe to say that
they will be dealt with-as the occasion
requires. The law provides severe
penalty for doctors who disobey its pro-
visions, and there is no escape from 1t.
Probably a policy OF publicity which it
would be entirely legitimate to adopt
would be an even more effective remedy.
The records in the county clerks office are
public property and should investigation
show that there was adequate reason for
doing this it would be both feasible and
proper to make and publish a transcript
Of these records quarterly or monthly
showing by whom and for whom all pre-
scrptions are written. their numbers, and
by whom they are hlled. But it is more
than probable that word Of warning
from an official source would make tais
course unnecessary.

THREE TOWNS IN LICENSE COLUMN.
Putney, Marlboro and Vernon Voted for
Special Reasons to Permit Sale Of
LIQUOR the Coming Year.

Three towns in Windham county cast
majorities for license at their annual
town meetings Tuesday. They were
Marlboro, Putney and Vernon. Vernon
was in the license column last year on
account of the hotel situation and II re-
mained there this year for the same rea-
son. In Putney the arrest of the land
lord just before town meeting for violat-
ing the liqdor law, his assertion that he
sold liquor under an assurance from the
citizens that he would not be prosecuted
and a petition of 90 citizens for a remis-
sion Of his sentence caused that town TO
change to the license column. II Is
understood that a report that a hotel
would be built in Marlboro If that town
went license had something to do with
the result in that town, but so far as can
be learned nobody there has any inten-
tion of taking out a license or of building
a hotel Just what will develop in Put
ney remains to be seen. Under the sta
tutes Landlord G.. =. Shumway Is dis
qualified from operating a license the
coming year. Following is the vote in
Windham county:
