The New Railroad.

Our notion is that the engineers have
performed a remarkable feat in laying
longer than the shortest distance be-
tween the two cities, wherein the MAKE
mum grade Is 50 feet to the mile This
seemed hardly possible. 1t is note
worthy that practically all the excess
Of distance lies in the first sixteen miles
out OF Rutland From here to Pittsfeld
az the crow flies it is l8 miles, whereas
the railroad line win be 80 miles long,
due to the worming of the line around
the mountains. There is no doubt that
the line can be built for 100000. II
will be worth all that it costs Rutland
and Montpelier and every other town
tapped. This city would well afford to
pay bonus Of 100000 for the con-
struction of this railroad besides fur.

in the message is the danger of fire

sions. wise and sufficient motive as
we shall disclose That there is always
imminent danger from that source in a
dry time, no sensible person can doubt.
IN fact case that fully illustrates it

with the Governors proclamation of
hunting. We refer to a fire which was
started yesterday in the town of Mount
Tabor. described by NJ. J. Hapgood in a

example Of the danger amply justifies
the hunting prohibition
Another reason or supposed reason,
has been discussed as possibly adding
to tie prime reason for Governor Mead's
proclamation, namely to give the law
makers. time to remove from the stat

never was any good reason for the enact

Quincy, Mass, Publicity.

The president of the Quincy Manu-
facturers' association recently remarked
that in the trade papers too many items
were devoted to the retail trade and too
few pertained to Quincy manufacturers
II the reverse criticism had been made
By a retail dealer, we would not have
been surprised, because trade papers are
published primarily for the retailers,
whose subscriptions make profitable the
advertisements Of manufacturers con-
tanned therein.
We were surprised, however, that this
remark should have been made TO the
editor of Granite, Marble & Bronze, in
view of the fact that in the last twelve
issues we have printed 24% pages OF
Quincy matter, in addition to four edi-
torials bearing upon Quincy, 2ss pages
of short articles pertaining to Quincy,
and 10 Quincy illustrations.
Granite Marble & Bronze is repre-
sented in Quincy by correspondent,
who prepares a monthly digest of the
condition of business there, while our
assistant editor makes six trips a year
to Quincy, in a further endeavor TO eX-
plot Quincys product to the trade,
The publishers of Granite, Marble &
Broze believe that in so doing they are
giving the retail dealer valuable informa-
ton and at the same time rendering
Quincy a publicity service which cannot
be duplicated This, to their mind, is
the function Of trade journal, and their
energies are bent toward fulfilling it,
Although we believe we are justified
in resenting the aspersion cast upon
us BY Quiney's president, we overlook it
in the supposition that he has not fol-
lowed carefully our efforts in Quincys
behalf-and we trust that our endeayors
meet appreciation in other quarters,

suggestions, but request criticism that

cAN VICE SUE FoR AssAuLr1
Supreme Court to Decide Her Rights
When Beaten by Husband.

Washington, Oct. 2sIf a husband
beats his wife till she is bruised and
bleeding, even crippled for life, should
she be allowed to sue him for damages,
or would such suits violate the sanctity
Of the home and tend to break up civ
ilizationg
Such a question was laid before the
supreme court Of the United States for
decision
Jessie Il. Thmopson, wife of Charles
~ Thompson, sued her husband for S70.-
600 damages for seven alleged assaults
upon her. The enature Of the alleged
assaults and injuries were never brought
out in open court because before the
suit came to trial ,the court had given
Judgment in favor of the accused on
the plea that at the time Of the al
legged assault the parties We're husband
and wife.
1t is probably the first time the su-
preme court has had TO pass directly
on such a case While its decision will
not be binding in jurisdiction other than
the District Of Columbia, where Mr. and
Mrs Thompson lived at the time of the
alleged assaults, states having laws sim
liar to the District Of Columbia, in this
particular, such as New York, Maine,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan Min
nesota and Iowa, viii be concerned in
the outcome OF the litigation.

The Signature of the Census In Yer.
mont.

The news proclaimed broadcast some
weeks ago that Vermont mad dropped
backward in population is now exploded
by figures from the census bureau at
Washington, saying that the state has
experienced a gain of over 10000 in the
last decade, or little better than three
per cent.
The gain is, according to safe
economic standards, perfectly safe and
healthy, and shows That while there is
no liability OF congestion of popula-
tion at present, this fact being easily
determined when we take into consid-
Grafton that Vermont has but little of
the immigration which newer states ex-
per ence.
We firmly believe that the reason the
Green Mountain state has not advanced
faster in populousness is because it has
never pursued the same tactics as new
er states in the matter OF advertising
itself, showing, up TO within a few
years, IN indifference to this recognized
necessity when expansion is desired.
1t is by means Of literature that peo-
pie are attracted from one section Of a
country to another--a sort OF literary
and pictorial crusade, as it were, for
the advancement Of states POSSIBLE
ities, being continually maintained.
The daily and weekly press Of this
state compares very favorably with
other states and BY its editorial ut
terances is doing good work, but we
believe that the human mind is In many
ways educated by what gets TO it
through what pleases the eye as well
as by facts and figures,
Thus, what should be done by the
state during the next ten years to make
better showing in population, is for
each town which has desire to grow,
to advertise each year the advantages
OF livelihood and investment in their
particular sections Windsor Journal.

SOOTHING MuRMuRs
Told About by U. S. Consul at chiapas
In His Report.

Washington, d. O., Oct. 29-Soothing
murmurs arose from the waves gently
breaking on the shore and there was
balm in the breeze waited over the sea,
while Albert w. Redwood, jr., United
States consul at Tapaehula, Ghiapas'
pondered as to what service he might
render his people. Commercially and
politically things we're quiet around
about Chiapas and he realized that at
tention in the United States was more
or less devoted to baseball, airships
and politics. Yet he fain would add to
the gaiety of the situation.
"By ali tine eocoanuts in Tapachula,
he exclaimed at last, II have Il! Ill
tell them about the marimha."
Heretofore no wandering agent OF the
government ever came up with any ma
rimba. in its wild or domestic state
or, if so, he failed in his public duty to
report thereupon
Fearless of the marimba and cognlz,
ant Of its haunts and habits, the con-
sui at Chiapas has filled the gap in the
records These are his words
"The marimba is said TO have been
found in use among the Indians when
the conquerors arrived It Is at the
present time in common use in Chiapas

vermont's Duty.

The developments of the past ten
years in population should show the
state OF Vermont that it has a duty
TO perform In the development Of its
agricultural interests. With the ten
dency Of the people in general to turn
more to agricultural pursuits and with
the agricultural lands Of the East stead
lis rising in value and there would seem
to be good opportunity for the state
TO do something that would place its
advantages more prominently before the
people of the country. Its industrial
development depends almost wholly up
ON its natural wealth in stone and min
eral products and these have already
been quite largely developed. so it
would seem to be the need Of the hour
that Vermont, by the means of better
agricultural training and the making OF
agricultural life more popular, should
greatly increase its agricultural growth
during the next decade.-St, Johnsbury
