Senator Pages Letter.

Elsewhere The Journal prints COM
nlunication from Senator Page relative
TO the question of Canadian reciprocity.
This paper may disagree with our SEN
ators and congressman on matters OF
Judgment, but it has not, nor does it
expect to be obliged to question the in
tegrity of their motives in respect TO
their public acts,
The Journal viii be very glad to
print expressions Of opinion on the sub
iect of reciprocity. 1t is well aware
OF the fact that very many farmers are
honestly opposed to the policy but it
is necessary only to arouse the fears
of any class of citizens to bring forth
volumes of protest 1t is natural that
with their fears and prejudices played
upon, the farmers should write many
more letters against the presidents pol.
icy than other citizens Of Vermont have
written in favor OF it, Nevertheless
there is a strong sentiment in this
state n favor Of reciprocity This is
indicated by the very general news
paper support given to reciprocity. The
papers of the state do not run counter

that the newspapers are influenced sole

This is not question to be settled
for to-day or for tomorrow, but for
the great future of this American con
tinent With no desire except the pro-
motion OF the best interests of Yer.
mont and the United States, and in
the belief that no permanent harm win
come to the farmer and much good will
result for all, The journal is very
heartily in favor of the adoption Of
President Taft's reciprocity policy
Senator Pages request is a proper
one and shows his desire to get the
opinion of his constituents. 1t is to
be hoped that there may be a goodly

The purchase of the Montpelier &
Wells River railroad by the Boston &
Maine, while perhaps promising some i'm
provement, is likely to prove damaging
to Montpelier in another way, because
of the threatened removal OF the car
shops from that city. This course is
likely because the Boston Maine has
shops at Woodsville and shops at Ign.
donville The latter are to be greatly
enlarged also, furnishing capacity for
taking care of the company's repair
work in the northern section. The
Montpelier & Wells River earshops at
Montpelier, while not large as compared
with those of other lines, have furnished
employment to quite number of peo-

THE GRAND TRUNKS PURPOSES.
Taking advantage of the occasion fur
nished by the railroad war" in Yer
mont, the st. Adams Messenger remarks
that the Grand Trunk policy is not
simply to make war against another sys-
TEN, but to find the most practical and
common.sense way to make its trans
portation service useful to the people
and profitable to its share holders"
Right here it might be stated that the
Grand Trunk has chance to indicate
to the people of Vermont that it is not
out for the share holders profits, to
the exclusion Of the publie's interests.
In meeting the Mellen systems invasion,
it will have to do that, anyway
Heretofore, the Grand Trunk system
has not looked very carefully after its
interests in Vermont, except as furnish
ing through route to the southern
New England states, the territory here
abouts having been perhaps looked upon
as dependent on the Grand Trunk and,
therefore, not worth particular consid-
Grafton. To be sure, there have been
minor Improvements, some under press
ure and others voluntarily. Among the
latter might be mentioned the running
of through freight for granite ship
ments from Barre to the West, which
proved to be somewhat of help to ship
pers, That was appreciated and the
more so because the Grand Trunk rail-
road did it without outside pressure.
But against that, there have been other
changes by the Central Vermont, the
subsidiary of the English system, which
were secured only after persistent dog
ging and they were given apparently
grudgingly, Perhaps the incoming of
the Mellen system win cause the Eng
lish railroad system to turn more Of its
attention to the territory through which
II passes and whose people have given
the road excellent treatment through leg
islative action, or refusal of action, per-
haps it would be better called. The peo-
pie of Vermont are in a receptive mood
and ready to bestow favors where favors
are merited They will be pleased to
see that the Grand Trunk is not alone
waging war on rival concern, as the
St Adams contemporary suggests.

The citizens of Rutland voted at the
recent municipal election to exempt from
taxation such homes as may be built on
neglected land" in their city. This is
novel scheme for fostering home build
ing; but it is liable to a great deal of
Misunderstanding, as the Rutland News
suggests. Any plot which was not oc.
cupied by a building might be called
neglected land" and with good right
There is chance that the city might
deprive itself Of considerable tax re-
ceipts from houses which would have
been built under normal conditions and
without inducements.

The Last Jar of Jelly.

'Tis the last jar Of jelly
Left standing alone;
All its lovely companions
Are eaten and gone;
No jar of crabapple,
No pint glass of ounce
To reflect back its bushes.
They've vanished long since.
I'll not leave thee, thou last one,
To mould on thy Shelf
Since the others are eaten
I'll eat thee myself.
Thus gayly I'm spreading
Thy form on my bread
And smile as thou culver.
So wabbly and red,
-Four dozen just like thee
I've eaten she cries;
And | know she is grieving
To view thy demise.
But a brute, mean and heartIess,
I'd be, let me own,
Ii in this gloomy cellar
| left thee alone.
