In Favor of Reciprocity.

Dennison Cowles, president of the
Brattleboro board of trade, in recent
interview in the Boston Globe regard
ing reciprocity, said: -,
"There is no more need OF tariff
wall between Vermont and CANADA
than there is between Vermont and
Massachusetts. To be sure the farmers
of the state will raise their voice
against reciprocity with our Canadian
brothers, but / hardly see wherein the
competition on butter, eggs and hay,
with the importations from Canada as
shown during the past decade, is. going
to prove ruinOus to the aoriculturists OF
the Green Mountain state. The ma
tional grange is evidently looking at
the situation through the small end OF
telescOpe.
"Perhaps Vermont s delegation in
congress believes that it voices the SEN
1iment of the farmers when it votes
against this reciprocal relation which
the manufacturers would bring. about
between the United States and Canada.
am inclined, however, to believe that
it is game of politics with Vermont s
two congressman rather than a move
to protect the interests of Vermonters.
"Give the Canadian chance to en-
ter our markets with such articles as
the tariff bill suggests, and trust the
American to get his share OF business
under this proposed reciprocal arrange
ment -

No Longer a Junction.
Bellows Falls Times.

Bellows Falls is no longer railroad
junction. 1t is true that two lines OF
road continue to cross here, but the
two lines are owned by the same COM
pany. This change was brought about
last week bv the purchase of more than
half of the stock of the Rutland rail-
road by the New York. New Haven &
Hartford road. So far as competition
in rates goes Bellows Falls is now a
one-railroad community.
win this be for better or worsef
This is a difficult question to answer in
advance of actual developments. One
would naturally expect that both the
freight and passenger service would be
improved This would be in conformity
with the general policy of the New
Haven road. ANY guess as to the effect
on rates would be mere conjecture.
PERHAPS the service will be so improved
as to more than compensate for any
increase in rates.
The Central Vermont extension from
Windsor to Brattleboro, passing
through Bellows Falls, is the only DOS
sibility that can restore Bellows Falls
to the dignity of junction point, and
that possibility at present seems rather
remote.

The New Haven s Coup.
Boston Globe.)


The Bay state has everything TO gain
and nothing to lose by the acquisition
of the Rutland railroad by the New
Haven system. Boston. and eastern
Massachusetts as whole. probably will
receive the largest measure of benefit
although the western part of the state
will not fail TO share in il. Vermont
also will gain in added traffic. The ad
vantage of the new arrangement will
be especially apparent if the reciproc-
itv agreement with Canada is ratified.
The possession of the Rutland line
assures the New Haven management
an opportunity to make Boston s export
trade assume larger proportions. The
line gives communication with the grain
sections of the west. and calls for the
DEVELOPMENT of the water front of this
city. II gives the New Haven what is
while adding to the treasury of the
road, develops this port as an export
pOint. The change, in short. is mutual
T. advantageous.
The change apparently leaves the
New York Central and Pennsylvania
railroads, both of which are represent
ed in the New Haven directorate, as
bidders for the New England business
that the New Haven road handles.
The New York Central. to outward an
pearances. is distinct gamer by the
deal which has Just been consummated.
The important change in the railroad
mau is the result of the rivalry of the
New Haven and Grand Trunk roads.
1t is lust such situations that give a
healthy commercial at.
The business men of Bos-
ton welcome competing railroad lines
to this center, and as the purchase of
the Rutland road is only phase of the
nermanent rivalry of these two impor-
tant transportation interests. Boston is
left in the pleasant position of won.
dering what the Grand Trunk next will
do to match the achievement of the
New Haven line.

Julius L. Stockwell of West Brattle-
boro, who consented day or two ago to
become a candidate for selectman at the
coming town meeting, makes the state
ment this morning that it will be imposs-
BILE for him to run. This is due to the fact
that his position in connection with the
postoffice department would have to be
forfeited in case he wanted to hold an
other office.
