thing as crossing squash vines with to-
mato plants. He comes as near being what
the picture books call typical Vermonter
as can be found in the legislature this
term. His eye is that of a man who, by
experience, has learned that it is always
best to take chance and discount what
his neighbors tell him. Nal isn't the sort
to place all men in the category of liars,
but he knows a few individuals who have
given him the song of the siren. and he is
cautious.
Whenever Nal Bemis wants something
in Athens there is more excitement over
the matter than there would be if one of
the deacons of that hamlet should be
caught with poker deck in his boot leg.
Bemis can start something quicker in
Athens than almost anyone else. He isn't
a drooling office seeker but he has had a
hankering for a number of years to repre-
sent his town in the legislature and he
got there last fall. He did not draw a
place on the railroad committee and his
name does not appear on the committees
of ways and means and appropriations
But this means nothing particular Bemis
could hand the members of either of these
committees bits of home made philosophy
and advice that wouldn't cut as deeply
into the treasury as do some OF the sug-
gestions Of his colleagues.
Bemis is simply a man from one of the
mueh-talked-about Small towns" 1t

That the spread of infantile paralysis
may have been due to fleas or some other
blood-sucking insects carried in the hair
of cats and dogs, is the statement made in
report which had been prepared for the
Connecticut state board of health by Prof.
Herbert w. Conn, head of the biological
department at Wesleyan university, who
has been investigating an epidemic of the
disease which prevailed recently in Mid
dlesex county. He says his investigations
indicate that the spread of the malady
was probably not accomplished through
milk, water or fruit. "All of the facts"
says the report, would be explained upon
the assumption that few feas have be-
come infected from one or two original
cases and that these few feas scattered
themselves over the localities, being car
ried to and fro upon the skin of animals,
and that some of them afterwards had an
opportunity to get upon children and bit
ing them, thus producing the disease"

power of eminent domain which might
have operated practically to dispossess the
Central Vermont (Grand Trunk which
now owns the terminal grounds at that
point. But IL can hardly be that they ex.
pected greatly to carry through a project
which might have enabled them to throw
the Central Vermont out of Brattleboro
or to impose costly or prohibitory terms
of admission. That would have been an
achievement calling for a housekeeping
at Montpelier. II was no more to be ex.
pected that the Grand Trunk could have
expected to win in its opposition TO a char.
ter for new and parallel line south of
Brattleboro.
What the New Haven interests get in
the bill now going through the Vermont
legislature is the right to build the said
parallel and connecting line, and to secure
adequate station privileges at Brattleboro
under Cenxal Vermont ownership. This
is reasonable and no more than this would
have been reasonable or fair to the inter
ests now in possession. The main purpose
of the. New Haven interests, we may sup
pose is to force the Grand Trunk either
sor to Brattleboro or come TO some terms
which might involve a transfer of the
Grand Trunks southern New England
lines to the New Haven company Will
the Grand Trunk build that connecting
line? This is the crucial question, and
doubtless the point which the New Haven
is relying upon to bring itself into practi.

Grand Trunk does build, the New Haven

link in its up.river route-a road Of its
own from Windsor to White River juno.
ton.
The problem is harder one for the
Grand Trunk to deal with than for the
New Haven. A new line from Windsor
to Brattleboro would be costly one to
construct and the New Haven seems to
command the only feasible route by which
the new line could be put through Bellows
Falls. But the Grand Trunk is apparently
in fighting mood it has large support
from the shipping interests OF New Eng
land which regard it as the only remain
ing bulwark of defense for the old west
ern freight ditferentials; and Vermont will
not readily miss the chance Of getting two
lines under different ownership extended
up and down the Connecticut river. The
Canadian property will have to be in des
perate straits financially before il will give
up its extensions into southern New Eng

Der of this session than Nal Bemis. The

kidglove Nal every time there was need

upon as too independent to represent a
small town. Nal Bemis is man of opin-
ions. He wanted to go to the legislature
and it required bit of diplomacy to land
the job, but he arrived. He doesn't look
the part of Beau Brummell and he doesn't
try to. He can figure interest with the
best OF them. His knowledge of land
values would make the ordinary lister and
appraiser hesitate to challenge his opin-
ion, yet Nal wasn't offered place on any
committee where he could offer the state
what he has wrung from the soil-expe-

A Questionable Policy.


The senate passed, without debate, S.
40, which provides that the public serv.
ice commission shall not, unless required
by law, give publicity TO any statistical
information obtained from public service
corporations, and shall not include such
information in its reports. Now, is the
house, ready to change its. policy, and con-
ceal from the public all information con
corning these corporations? The commits.
sion may be trusted now, as In the past,
not to abuse its privilege, but to give up all
rights of publicity, so that the people
shall be kept in the dark regarding the
corporations that they have chartered and
through their officials, looks like
a dangerous proceeding, The matter ought
to be thoroughly ventilated and good
deal of explanation will be required to
convince the people that this is measure
that ought to be enacted into law as it
now reads.
