The Hypocrisy of Foss.

Massachusetts has a corrupt pract-
ices act which requires every candi-
date for nomination for. any Office
or for election to any public Office to
file a written statement of each sum
of money and thing of value expend-
ed, contributed or promised for the
purpose of securing the Office or in
fiuencing any person to vote for him.
In compliance with that act Speaker
Walker filed a statement showing
that he had expended $8,839.88,
Representative White expended ST.
1892 and Louis A. rockingham
$4,000, but thus far there has been
no statement by Gov. Foss, the man
who signed the bill. His campaign
manager claims there has been no
expenditure for the purpose of get
ting the election, therefore no need
of filing a statement. Gov. Foss evil
IDENTIFY did not dare file statement
to that effect and stands an open vio-
lator of the law he claims to have
been influential in having enacted.
He is wise in not making such a
statement because people remember
that he spent nearly 100000 last
year in securing the nomination for
his present Office and it is not like
ly it is being handed to him gratis
this time Gov Foss has given the
people very little in return on the
promises he made last year, practi-
cally getting something for moth
ing, but he cannot work that prin-
ciple enough to land the governor
ship without expense. His hypro-
crisy is much more evident than his
astuteness in this matter.

of to cure the corporations that are
suffering from contagion and dis
ease and that is to eradicate the
disease. The. law will be enforced
to the letter. Now I hope that is
understood
There can be no doubt of the pres
dents courage or of his course,
but possibly he has not gone far
enough. Under the present law he
can not do differently than he has de-
clared he will do but does he wish
to be understood as supporting the
present law as the best method of
dealing with the trust power? 1t
he does we believe Mr.. Prouty has
taken the stronger position. Mr..
Prouty too is man of courage and
a man of great ability. He has for
many years been dealing with cor
porations and is recognized as a fair
and Independent judge of the rights
of the corporation and the public.
He is well qualified to suggest a pol
icy for the public to. follow and his
plan may be seriously studied to
the advantage of all parties con-
cerned.

The late Ex-Gov. F. D. Proctor
showed his appreciation of the name
of Proctor when he provided in his
will that the control of the Vermont
Marble Company should be retained
for his son, Mortimer. His gift to
the young man is precious one
that imposes a great trust upon him.
That the young man may prove
worthy of the opportunity placed be-
fore him is the sincre wish of every
man who would have Vermont re-
tain the worlds leadership in the
marble industry.

Discredits Vermont MIX.

The Boston Transcript in discus
sing Gov. Foss' veto of the Ellis
Pure Milk bill in Massachusetts, said j:
The bill would have hurt New
Hampshire milkmen, perhaps, or
Vermont milkmen; but it would
have benefited Massachusetts, milk
men. It is this "out of state milk
that keeps down the price of milk
because it is often so bad that it
makes people afraid of ''unapprov-
ed" milk and unwilling to pay de-
cent price for it.
The Transcript may be doing Yer
mont and New Hampshire milk an
injustice in making such state
ment but we would be glad if the
producers of Vermont milk were SO

Miss Lillian Russell, the actress,
gave some very good advice to young
ladies the other day when she said:
1.-THE very best way in the world for
woman to be beautiful is to be
natural. Don't worry about being
beautiful. She also declared that
''the fight for style is causing more
crimes and unhappiness in this
country than liquor. Nearly every
woman in the land is imbued with
that one idea-that she must have
style. 1t is wrecking homes, break
ing hearts and making a certain
group of men rich.'' Miss Russell's
experience makes her a good au-
thority on these subjects and young
ladies would do well to accept her
advice. Organizations are working
for sane Fourth and are agitating
sane Christmas but a much greater
blessing would come if some leader
could establish a sane style. The
Fourth and Christmas last a day
only and there are many styles that
should not last less time than that

A jury in Burlington refused to
convict man of violation of the cor
rect weight law in using scales that
had been condemned by a state in
spector. 1t seems the scales were
condemned because they might be
manipulated to give in correct weight
and the man was acquitted by the
jury because they could be operated
to give correct weights. Now the
question to be weighed is which
verdict will the most accurately bal
ance the scales of justice.

ACADEMY NOTES.
Masquerade Party a Success-A Tie
Game With LittletOn.-

The masquerade held in Chapel
Hall Friday evening for the benefit
of the Athletic association proved
to be a great success, the net pro-
ceeds being over $50 A large num-
Der attended, most of whom were
very we'll masked. The hall was
decorated in the Seniors class col
ors, gold and black. Around the
hall were candy, ice cream, cider and
hoop-la booths, fortune teller, and
a coy corner, all of which were well
patronized. The entertainment for
the evening consisted in six prom
enades, a waltz, and a short play,
entitled t'The Ghosts of Shakes
peare's Girls which five boys rem
dered very we'll.
School was closed at three O'Clock
Friday on account of the foot ball
game with Litt1eton. In spite of
the score 90, our boys loutclassed
the Litt1eton team the whole game.
Several of the Academy's best men
could not play, both from the result
of injuries and being called away.
Littleton still seems to believe
that the game should be played by
disputing and fighting as well as by
the regular methods used elsewhere.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
(Continued from page ID

to double the capacity of the shop
and make an enormous increase in
business. One of these is patent
reinforcing for a wooden tank cor
ner and the other a patent reinforc-
ing for a wooden seat. 1t is ex-
pected that the patents will be
granted very soon so that business
may be begun on these on a large
scale.
The boiler room and engine room
were found as spick and span as a
whistle, the floor was clean and all
the machinery polished. There has
just been installed an auxiliary boil
er in the boiler room and a dynamo
and motor provide for their own
electric lights part of the time. Next
to this was the long dry kiln with
its canvas covered ends which is
something new in that line. The
lumber can be unloaded from the
railroad track directly onto another
track which runs through the kiln
and can be run directly into the
mill.
One of the most peculiar machines
in the wood working department is
the glueing machine. This has four
sets of paddle wheels revolving in a
steam heated chamber. The edges
or narrow strips of wood are glued,
then clamped into position on this
machine and the machine timed so
that one revolution is all that is re-
CURED to harden the glue.
The Woods Used.
The wooden work in the combina-
tions is made from ash, oak and
birch, with natural, antique and
golden finishes. There is also a
mahogany finish which is not in
cluded in the regular finishes. Then
there is the American oak finish, in
antique, natural and golden, which
is done in the granting room. 1t
seems a simple process to transform
a piece of ash or birch into imitation
oak and yet when the wood has been
through the vanishing, rubbing
and polishing rooms it is difficult
the real oak This American oak
finish is a new feature in this shop.
Altogether it is an interesting
shop to visit and follow the manu-
facture of the wooden work on the
combinations from the time the
lumber is un1oaded into the dry kiln
until the completed work is packed
and shipped. This work would take
one into the wood working shop
where the wood is sawed, planed,
grooved, matched or buffed with
machines for doing all this work, in
to the dipping and rubbing room
where the work is placed on large
racks which are movable on wheels,
into the filling and staining rooms
where the goods are inspected and
the poor ones thrown out or into
the rubbing room where the wood
work is given a piano polish and
finally into the assembly room. A.
L. Bragg was the contractor who
built the building and he certainly
did himself credit for the outside
of the building is very attractive
and pleasing to the eye, while the
inside has very substantial ap-
pearance.
