THAT RINGING CIRCULAR.

The bitter antagonism TO the ideas
and policies Of DR.. Booker T. Wash
ington the "frst citizen OF color of
this Republic" is intensifying, If we
are 20 judge by a circular letter is
sued over the signatures Of race lead
ers, whose names must necessarily
command respect.
They are ever watchful Of all that
he says and especially careful TO cOun
teract the effect Of any statements
which he may make which tend to
compromise the outspoken position
of the educated colored men, who
will not recognize and submit to any
discrimination which tends TO lower
their manhood or compromise their
political rights.
The circular letter issued under
date OF October 26th. 1910 is ter
rife indictment of the white people
of this country and contains truths
which cannot be gainsaid or denied.

C. Jones. Chairman on Political

COOPERATION IN PUBLICITY.

The State Board of Trade idea,
urged in this paper from time to
time, is based in part on the CO.
operative plan, and in part on the
theory that the most active men in
each community are to be found in
the local Boards of Trade. A good
illustration of the value of this kind
of work is given herewith:
IF ever a business cried aloud for
a pooling of interests, it is the sum-
mer resort business in New Eng
land says H. B. Humphrey in the
New England Magazine for May.
Through intelligent combination,
such as is typical of the hotel men OF
Atlantic City, among whom Atlantic
City is first and the hotels a second
consideration, the enormous amount
of money spent in the New England
States every year by visitors could
easily be doubled
advertising and the cooperative
spirit have made Atlantic City one
of the most famous and wealthy
ocean resorts in the whole world,
and have enabled that far less attrac-
tive resort to draw hundreds of thou
sands of visitors away from beauti-
full Bar Harbor and picturesque Nam
tucket, to mention only two of the
thousands of New England seashore
resorts which nature has endowed
with her most magnificent gifts.
Our summer hotel men say that
what they need is a longer season.
But they will never get it by sitting
down and wishing for ii. The way
to add weeks and months to the sea-
son of production for this business
is through a cooperative advertising
campaign, which shall tell the people
what glorious months June and Oct
ODER are at the seashore and in the
woods. There are half a dozen big
hotels in Maine and New Hampshire,
such as the Mansion House at South
Poland, the Woodstock Inn at Wood
stock, the Fitzwilliam Tavern at
Fitzwilliam, that have their accom-
modations engaged weeks in advance
by guests who wish to spend the
week of Washingtons Birthday in
rest and outdoor recreation.
Last winter, for the first time, a
Maine hotel proprietor did a little
advertising to tell the people of Bos-
ton something of the delights of the
Maine woods and the snow-cushioned
country roads at the time of the
great Christmas storm. This big ho-
| tel, almost snowbound and situated
four miles from a railroad station,
was filled with Yuletide visitors, and
many other country hotels could have
been filled at the same time II the re-
spective managers had Joined togeth-
er to urge the tired city residents to
take to the woods.
Among the proprietors of the
great hotels of New England are
some of the most skilful business or
ganizers in America. Is there not
one who can find the time to formu-
late such a cooperative campaign as
the writer has attempted merely to
suggest?

work to do, but in return for that

PAYING DELEGATES EXPENSES.

iSt. JohnSbury Caledonan J
The suggestion of the Montpelier
Journal published in another column
that attention should be given to the
matter of paying the expense of the
delegates to the Republican State
Convention is worthy of the serious
attention of every man who believes
in purer politics in Vermont. 1t is a
practice that has been winked at in
the past and has proven very eff
fective way of ensuring the delivery
of the full vote of candidate at a
convention. When a man in ordinary
circumstances is assured that it will
cost him nothing to attend State
Convention he is sure to be present.
He is also sure to vote as the man
who assured him his expenses would
be paid wants him to vote. Let's call
a halt on this practice now.
Every man who believes a primary
law would benefit the State should
actively support this proposition be-
cause it will place the expense of the
present convention system on the
delegates elected and will show them
just how expensive the system is. II
the delegates are unwilling to bear
the expense of attending convention
it will tend 10 show the present sys-
tenn is undesirable and make people
