The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1911-05-26

that same iron rule was responsible for
his undoing in Mexico's national al
fairs. Now harrassed by revolution and
physical ailment, the old man is pitt
able object indeed; but the present
stability of the country demanded his
retirement from the executive headship.
As for the future OF the government,
there is some reason for misgiving.
What has been done in the case OF Diaz
may be done again when the people or
any considerable portion of the people,
rise in their indignation and even bear
arms against their officials. Successful
revolution is bound to breed revolution,
and the government at Mexico City is
likely TO rest on an unstable foundation
from this time forth. When disgrunt-
led, the hot blooded Mexicans will start
a revolution. The situation does not
augur well for the development of bus
mess in the republic to the south Of us,
because capital is chary OF locating
where there is likelihood of loss at
any time. Stability in the government
is one of the requisites which capital de-
mands in country; and stability Mex
leo does not have at the preesnt time,
nor is likely to have, Therefore, Mex
leo is in serious position

the United States census bureau. Prior
to that was the announcement, from
the same source. of very large gains in
the farming side of the stat, as shown
in increased products and added valua-
tion OF farm land. Now, from the same
generally credited authority, comes the
statement of another phase of Vermont,

poultry and bees, as given in detail in
to-day's Times Perhaps our readers
may think that too mach stress is being
placed on these reports; but to The

on the reports is necessary to reawaken
the confidence in the state which may

CONGRATULATIONS TO
PELIER.

By the completion and dedication to-
day of costly municipal structure,
Montpelier reaches what might well be
considered an epoch in its development
as a city. To be sure, its career as
an incorporated city dates back upwards
OF twenty years and it has been tax

pal life as they seemed to become i'm
perative; yet municipal life was not
complete without municipal home
Now, after long planning, the city hall
project finds its contamination in the COM
modious building on Main street,
building which is designed to meet the
requirements of the city for many years
to come, furnishing headquarters for
each of the city departments and adding
new dignity to the municipal life of
the community. The dedication of the
building is an important event in the
history of the growing city and is
something which the entire state takes
more than a passing interest in, since

A FRESH EVIDENCE or PROGRESS
IN VERMONT.

How can state be progressive as a
whole and yet show such marked gains
in various phases OF its activities as
Vermont is showing nowadaysl The
answer is, that judgment concerning
Vermont which causes one to put down
in black and white that Vermont is go

is falsely founded. Only recently we
