that the Northern Methodist Episcopal

among the whites Of the South. Thus
far, however, nothing has availed TO heal
the breach between the Methodist
churches North and South, caused by the
agitation Of the slavery question IN the
forties. Boston Herald.

A Record Of Methodism.

The Methodist Year Book for 1911,
under the editorship Of Oliver S. Bake
tel, who makes his bow in this issue and
pays tribute to his immediate predeces-
sor, the late Stephen Van Rensselaer,
Ford, is a pamphlet OF more than $50
closely printed pages with statistics, not
only of the body which issues il, off
cially called the Methodist Episcopal
church, but of eighteen other Methodist
bodies, one of which, the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South has a numerical
strength about three-iifths that OF the
northern church. All the Methodist
bodies. the colored Nethodists Of yari-
Gus name included, had numerical
strength in 1909 second only to that of
the Catholics and reaching nearly $780,
600 The fifteen Baptist bodies came
third with an aggregate membership Of
just over 100000
Methodism was first organized in this
country at the christmas conference"
OF l7s4, held at Lovely Lane chapel IN
Baltimore. The first general conference
was held at the same city in 1892, and
the first general conference to meet else
where was that OF 1912, which met in
New York. No general conference met
in New England until that of 1852, which
was held at Boston Methodism orig

rounded with towns having hospitals,
might well begin project similar to

Barre was extremely backward about
starting hospital project; but the local
institution has certainly justified its
founding and the people of the com.
munity would feel loss, distinct loss,
if the institution were to be dscontin-

agement to Waterbury IN the matter Of
getting a hospital of its own.

Restraint of Trade.

il is said that the Battleboro groeers
have combined 10 charge certain prices
for the goods sold by them. The excuse
given for the action IS that they are
compelled to charge certain prices by the
wholesalers from whom they buy and
that the wholesalers are compelled to
maintain a uniform price by the manu-
faeturers. II this is all true, it means
that the manufacturers are receiving a
larger profit than they would receive if
competition was free, and IL illustrates
one Of the means devised for divert
ing the earnings OF the wage worker
into the pockets OF the big man at the
other end.
Some states have passed drastic anti
trust laws which make such agreements
criminal in their nature. 1t is probable
that the federal law known as the Sher-
man antitrust act would be effective il
ayailed in a prosecution for all who join
in any agreement in restraint Of trade.
II the condition above noted prevails
generally, surely the act should be in
voked for the protection OF the people.

The State Fair.

In the opinion of The Standard, the
legislature cannot afford to be niggard
" with the State Fair association, but
should consider carefully the require
ments Of this association. whose work
is Of inestimable value to the state.
If $4,000 is not sufficient, the state
should appropriate $4,000 They should
not forget that no state is more for
tunate in the presidency Of its asso-
citation than Vermont Few states could
have the benefit of the enthusiastic sup
port Of a man whose time is largely
occupied with business demands OF great
responsibility and Importance like Max
well Eyarts, who not only contributes
his own time, but who interests other
men Of equal ability in the affairs Of
our state. No one instrumentality is

Taft for l9l2

OF extraordinary interest and impor-
lance is the dispatch which The Tran
script prints to-day from our Washing
ton correspondent, affirming IRON posi-
tive knowledge that not only have Pres-
dent Taft and Mr. Roosevelt been in
communication for some time, but that
President Taft has commissioned Mr.,
Loeb to secure the support Of the state
OF New York for his nomination In 1912.
This assignment to Mr. Loeb is made
with ex- President Rooseyelt's knowledge
and consent, and this might be taken
for granted, because under no cireum-
stances would Mr. Loeb undertake any
political movement contrary to the
wishes Of his long time patron and
friend In taking this action Mr.. Roose-
welt clearly removes himself from the
list of candidates for 1912, a step which
all Of his friends were sure he would
take, and will bend his efforts toward
the success Of the president.
The task which lies before even such
a powerful team as these two men is
under the best of circumstances. from
now on a prodigious one The slump as
il develops IN the mid-term congressional
election is almost always a forerunner
of slump in the presidential year, per
haps not so great as the other one. but
usually large and strong enough to bring
the party's candidate for president down
to defeat This is especially true when
it is question Of the reelection Of
an administration, new candidate is
often able to accomplish more for a
defeated party than the administration
in power at the time of the defeat
There is a certain stigma connected with
defeat. which is almost always fatal to
president. No president in our recent
political history has been reelected after
his party has been defeated in the mid
term congressional race.
But that there are brighter signs APP
pearing for the party at the present time
is conceded, and if the president shall
continue to show evidences Of leadership
such as seem to be indicated IN his cam
paign for the denomination, the party
may become united and rehabilitated
and present a much more formidable
front than seemed possible few months
ago That this result viii be accom-.
plished, is certainly the most ardent
wish OF the majority Of the Republicans
Of New England but that a great trans
formation in political opinion must ensue
before 1t can take place cannot be denied

HOSPITALS IN VERMONT TOWNS
A movement is being agitated in Wa
terbury for hospital, and the live
newspaper of that town speaks out in
favor Of the project in its current issue,
declaring that there is great need of a
public institution in town. At present
there is only a private retreat, which
has accommodations for only a few per-
sons far inadequate for the demands
of the place Waterbury is well blessed
with neighbors which have hospitals,
Burlington, Montpelier, Barre and Ran
dolph having institutions for public use;
but outside Of the first city the
facilities are scarcely enough for the ae-
eommodation of home people, although
occasional patients from outside com
munities might be cared for In cases
of extremity any Of these hospitals could
accommodate Waterbury patients.
But that isn't enough for a growing,
progressive community like Waterbury.
There are now over 5000 people in the
town and a large number in the sur
rounding territory, all OF whom are sub
ject to the ills and ailments which hui

Reports state that John b. Moissant
and Arch Hoxsey, the aviators who were
killed Saturday, were probably the vic

that they were victims of their own

department with salesman on the

and the repair of tires.
There is nothing in the repair of
