Vermont has decided TO expend
$4,000 in advertising it's manifold at
fractions That's a mighty good re-
solve, to be sure, but bit parsimon-
ious. The sum will not go far in adj
vertising a state, and publicity OF
such theme must be on a somewhat
larger scale to even take hold. Yer
mont has appropriated about enough
to open an office and hire the right
kind of help for portion of the first
year-Granville Sentinel.
That depends on the point of view
Judged from the kind of public ser
vice obtainable in the graft" affiict
ed state of New York $4,000 is GER
tainly a parsimonious appropriation
In Vermont, however, it will be pos
sible to open an office, put capable
man in charge and still have work
ing balance on hand with which to
try out" the experiment. If it is
proven that the state is securing re-
turns from the venture there is not
the slightest doubt that future legisla'
lures will make more adequate appro-
priations for the work.

FRANK E. HOWE. Editor and Pub
WE VIII AL HELP PAY IT.

Don't forget to figure that great fire
in Bangor into the high cost OF liv-
ing. All such economic waste is not
confined in its effects to the people
that experience the immediate loss.
1t means that several million dollars
worth of property have been consum-
ed without any compromising benefits,
and that, in consequence, millions
more of money will have to be con
sumed in labor and material to re-
place it. This diversion Of money and
labor and materials from the task of
adding to the store of the worlds
wealth to occasional tasks Of simply
replacing needlessly consumed wealth,
means that the market must take up
the extra burden OF expense and re-
distribute it more or less proportion
ately to every one that has to buy
We will all have to pay some part Of
that Bangor fire loss before we get
through with it.
And the pity of it Is that this Is on
~ one Of many similar economic bur
dens that are heaped upon the "ulti-
mate consumer" by the shiftless
methods of this country in respect TO
fires and fire protection. We still
think it is cheaper to tolerate the
loosest kinds of risks and menaces Of
one kind and another within a fire
district because it would cost some
thing to institute systematic inspec-
ton and compel absolute and prompt
obedience to safety ordinances. Then
comes along a blaze that wipes out
more money in one day than could be
saved by shortsighted economy in a
century.
The annual fire loss of the United
States is simply staggering. And all
persons that read these lines have TO
pay a good sized assessment on it in
more ways than one. no matter If
there has not been a fire in their
town since they lived there.-St. Al.
bans Messenger.
In this connection ii seems timely
to refer to the commendable course
being pursued by the present board
Of village trustees in the granting of
permits and especially the
actions taken on applications for re-
pairs. It would be impossible for
or any other community
n Vermont to insist upon what really
ought to be done, to restrict future
within the business sec
ion to fireproof material The reform
must be a gradual one and must
eventually result from a national and
not local movement. At the same
time municipal governments in indi-
yidual cases can do much to reduce
the great annual waste and destruc-
ton from this cause and it would ap-
pear that here in Bennington, under
the present administration, consider
able progress is being made.

REPORT rs FILED
BY THE MINORITY
Six Members Of Judiciary Commi ttee of
Senate Give Their Views Oh
Election Of Senators.

WASHINGTON. May 22.-No popular
demand exists for change in the con-
sttution so as to deprive congress OF
the right to supervise tho election OF
United States senators. So asserted a
minority Of the members OF the senate
committee on the judiciary. in a report
fled Today, The report opposed the
withdrawal OF such right Of supervision
from congress as Is contemplated in the
plan for the selection OF senators by di-
rect vote OF the people. 1t was signed
by Senators Clark. Wyoming, Nelson.
Dillingham;. Sutherland. Brandegee and
Root all Republicans
The report ignores the question Of dl-
rect elections and deals entirely with
that of supervision. which is declared TO
be the more important feature of the
house election resolution which is now
before the senate on a report from the
majority on the judiciary committee.
The subject is fairly summarized in
the first exception in which il is con-
tended that there is no reason why the

should not continue 10 he exercised. Just
