It is reported that the Los Angeles harbor

plan on foot to move the troublesome harbor fur

citizens want to get rid of that harbor thu

that steps have been taken to check the
retrogression.
But agriculture is only one phase of
Vermont's life. We have quarrying in
dustries which are so advanced as to far
surpass similar industries in the state
Of Massachusetts granite, to be speci-
fic. Then there are marble, slate and
asbestos industries which are maintain
ing quite steady progress and placing
Vermont among the leading states Of
the union in production of minerals.
Manufacturing too, is showing certain
measure of progression, although much
smaller than in Massachusetts,. There
fore, in summing up Vermont's progress
or lack of progress, all phases of the
states life ought to be taken into con-
sideration. If agriculture alone is con-
sidered, the deductions are not entirely
to the states advantage; but in the gen
eral consideration Vermont is not show
ing retrogression, although most people,
like the contemporary, haven't got out
of the habit of yelling "Retrogression"
every time Vermont is mentioned, be-
cause they know only one phase OF the
states activities.

The retrogresson of Vermont, fa-

fully and officially set forth as by Mr..

make out a rather bad story for any
state in the union, that is, for some
phases of such state For instance,
it might be possible to show that the
rural population in Massachusetts is on
the decline, that there are less farms
through the requirement of several by
individuals; and from those facts it
might be possible to deduce decidedly
disquieting conclusion. So, in the case
of Vermont, there are fewer people in
the more rural sections of the state and
there are less farms than formerly be-
cause the richer farmers are buying out
the smaller farmers. Insofar as those
features are concerned, Vermont is show
ing retrogression; but, fortunately, that
is not the whole story. The facts are,
that farm values have increased very
greatly, that farm products are greater
in the aggregate than before and that.
strange as it may seem, there has been
a quiet, steady trend back to the farms,
although not enough to be appreciably
noticed as yet. In addition to that,
there are currents of activity working
TO check the so-called rertogression in
agriculture, currents which are little
known outside the state and which do
not reveal themselves in the fluctuations
of statistics, from which the contempor-
ary's writer derives his gloomy figures

OPTIMISM COUNTS.

In the far West they advance some
novel reasons for the general slaclness
of business, for il seems that business
even in that hustling section is not as
brisk as wished for. There is, for in
stance, this statement from the Aber-
deem, Washington. World of April 7;
Dull trade in Seattle, which appears
to be general, was attributed to con-
siderable extent to the fact that the
weather has been almost ideal for spring
work in the country and that the farm
ers are busy and have no time to 90 to
the cities; and it adds "All classes OF
ranehers have been very busy" In the
sentences quoted, the characteristic OPP
timism of the western states crops out
in the inference that because the farm
ers and ranchers have been so busy in
the immediate past, they are going to
have plenty of money to spend when
the busy season ends. Westerners gem
orally see a silver lining to their clouds,
which is in contrast to the vision of
eastern people, Because business is dull,
fasteners are too apt to bemoan the
fact and look no further than at the
blank wall of despair. It is optimism
which makes the western states pros
per, for it is optimist alone which at
tracts people and industries. There is
not enough optimism in the older east
ern states even though there is reason
enough for large amount of that kind
of spirit.

A dreamer sat

And read the verse
OF Thomas Moore,
Describing eyes
OF wondrous charm
And faithful hearts,
Forever warm.
The while he read
And heaved sigh
A stunning maid
Went tripping by,
And cen bestowed
On him look;
But he was buried
In his book
Nor seemed to know,
Nor seemed to care
How sweet she was,
How truly fair;
What rosy bloom
Was on her cheek;
How soft her words,
If she would speak
And still he sat
Beside his door
And read the verse
OF Thomas Moore,
And quite ignored
The maid so trim,
Because his wife

OFFICERS ARE ELECTED
BY FINANCIAL BODIES
Four Different Sections of
American Bankers Associa-
ton Hold Meetings.

NEW ORLEANS, La, November o.
Four different sections of the American
Bankers Association had their meetings
| today and elected officers. The general
convention was adjourned to permit these
| meetings.
| The trust company section meeting was
| in charge of President Oliver c. Fuller of
| Milwaukee. OFFICERS of this section, in
presenting reports dis, used banking con-
ditions in their respective states. The fea-
| ture of the meeting of the savings bank
| section was a symposium on savings bank
auditing This was conducted by A. b.
| Chaplin of Boston.
The feature of the meeting of the state
secretaries section was an address by
Mrs. Helen NJ. Brown, secretary of the
Michigan Bankers Association. Mrs.
Brown is the only woman delegate to the
convention.
T. B. Fancher of Cleveland conducted
the meeting of the clearing house section.
Mr.. Aldrich Conducts Forum.
An open forum was conducted by for
mer Senator Nelson w. Aldrich, chairman
of the national monetary commission,
yesterday afternoon in which he an
swered questions propounded by financial
experts regarding the proposed plan OF
monetary reform
In closing his address President Frank
Il. Anderson of the Bank of California at
San Francisco said that while he APP
proved the proposed reserve association
he did not think its hands should be tied
by preventing it from entering the open
market for the purchase OF commercial
paper to protect its discount rate.
Mr. Aldrch stated that the European
banking institutions had discontinued this
practice, and that it was absolutely i'm
possible to secure the enactment into law
of the plan if it permitted the National
Reserve Association to buy commercial
paper in the open market.
Mr. Aldrich, when asked if the reserve
association could not arrange tentative
geogra phical boundary for the different
reserve districts, said he thought such
plan would be adopted by commission
at later date.
AS to the possible imitation of currency.
Mr.. Aldrich said the institution would de-
pend upon the ability and judgment OF
the management of the local, district and
national sections. These managers are
to be selected by the bankers themselves.
At the beginning of the afternoon ses-
sion Joseph G. Brown, president of the
Citizens National Bank of Raleigh. N.
c., spoke of the needs of the farmers
and the benefit they would derive from
the National Reserve Association.
