The will of the late William Kelsey
just probated at Windsor is interest
ing as an instance Of the rapidly dis
appearing religious prejudice of for
mer days Mr.. Kelsey leaves his
money for an old ladies home but
provides that no Roman Catholic or
foreign born woman may be admit
ed. We never heard OF Mr.. Kelsey
before but the name dates back to the
early history of New England and we
have no doubt that he may have been
very estimable old gentleman who
through the force of environment
and early training inherited so much
of that old Puritan prejudice that he
made himself believe that Gods elect
include only those who worship ac-
cording to John Calvin and Jonathan
Edwards. Nobody will have any feel
ing toward the old gentleman.
Heaven knows there are enough
needy ones even If he had confined
the benefits of his fortune to cross
eyed Philippians and the whole mat

mind the fact that the old time wars

Efforts Seldom Rewarded

Sometimes newspapers that use
their space and time to boom a town
and its interests are appreciated by
the townspeople. We saw an exem-
plifcation of this in the Office of the
Sarasota Times this winter That
publication has done much toward
booming Sarasota as a winter resort
and has been the means of bringing
many tourists to that point. This win
ter the town officials, approaching the
work, went to the Office and told them
to stock up with type and all the
printing of the town would be CEN
tered to their Office. No prices we're
asked. The officials said they consid-
cred the business interests of the
town had been greatly benefited by
the paper, and if they could not pay
for il in money they could in patron
age. The merchants and banks did
the same thing. In some of our
home towns we are sorry to say, too
many are apt to split hairs with the
newspaper man, expecting him to
boom the town and its interests, and
yet when there is an opportunity to
reward him with work, to take it
somewhere else because the living
price is cut. Doubtless this is done
thoughtlessly many times but the
newspaper man feels it Just the same.

ing
Voters, let us face the condition
like men-men with iron in our
blood There are things TO be done.
Why put off the day? Convene the
Legislature and do them.
First-Repeal the law of 190S-al-
lowing tubercular infected cattle to
be sold for food The law making
this disgusting and horrible condition
legal is worded in manner TO dis
guise its sickening possibilities. In
the words of l.. b. Johnson, editor of

lature that passed it," DR., Holton of
the State Board of Health doesn't APP
prove of it. Gov John A. Mead does
MT approve of it. Will the voters of
Vermont feed their families on tu-
bercular infected carcasses for IS
months while we wait for the .legisla-

and repeal it at once.
Secondhand while the legislature
is convened let us pass tax law in
the interest of Vermont SOIL as fol-

within the borders of Vermont-either
real or personal-providing, that the
mortgage bears interest of per cent
or less This will solve the problem
of double taxation and make Vermont
soil what it has a right to be-a good
investment New Hampshire has
just passed such a law.
Third-And also, while the legisla-
ture is convened, pass a law opening
the way for the Boston and Maine
railroad TO build its South Vernon
Brattleboro extension on the Vermont
side of the Connecticut river. Why
drive all progress across our boundaI-

Here are three things that need to

retrogressing. The way to progress
is to act The way to retrogress is
to wait. Which shall we do?-Bran-

"Deoadent" Massachusetts

II will be remembered that a good

Well what about Massachusetts,?
Here is something decidedly pertinent
from a recent editorial in the Spring
field Republican:
This continued urban concentra-
ton suggests continued population
decline in the hill towns and the cen
sus results bear out the inference.
Since 1890 only 2 towns show a pop
ulation decrease, but since 1900 no
les than 124 towns have either been
standing still or declining; and II Of
these are found in Berkshire county,
II in Franklin. II in Hampshire and
10 in Hampden-a total of Sc for Yves
tern Massachusetts while Worcester
county more surprisingly adds 80 to
the list. Some of these towns lost
heavily More than half of Wales
population of rs in 1900 had disap-
peared by 1910; Tolland lost 94.5 per
cent Washington 26.5; Montgomery
2O.5 and so on through a long list
We now for the first time in many
years have a town of less than 100
people-New Ashford in Berkshire
county, which had a population of 400
at the first Federal census in 1890 and
which has now fallen from 1917 in 1900
to 80 in 1910. Next to New Ashford
stands Mount Washington, in the ex-
IRENE southwest corner of the state,
with a population now of 10 against
maximum of ia in 1910"
Poor old Massachusetts! These fig
ures are appalling. A state rich in
history, the cradle of the Pilgrims and
once great in all that makes for pro
gress and advancement, yet these sta
tistics-fgures that a Rossiter would
revel in--show retrogression and de-
cadence that make one shudder-

y BLCNDER.

That the referendum on the Malar-
key public service bill was blunder
is now apparent, says the oregon
Journal. Without intending to do so,
those who signed the petitions to
referend it, played directly into the
hands of the public service corpora
tions.
The measure for a local public
service commission failed to pass.
The statewide bill is held up by the
referendum, and for two years the
public service utilities will go un-
regulated. Not only do such corpor-
ations in Portland escape regulation,
but the same is true in the other cit
les of the state.
There ought to be regulation.
Regulation has proven efficacious in
the case of railroads. 1t is even more
necessary with reference to municipal
utilities. The nation and the state are
in the business of regulating, and it
Is equally importent that the cities
should be.
Sane regulation is better for the
utilities themselves. 1t is so ad-
mitted to be by some of the largest
figures in the railroad world. In
railroads, it substitutes honest man
agement for management by frenzied
tinanciers. 1t places transportation
or a legitimate basis and is to eventu-
ally cut out over capitalization.
1t is possible that the referendum
on the Malarkey bill may have de-
fects that will prevent its application.
The question ought to be tried out
in the courts. The blunder of in
voking it ought to be repaired if pos
sible, and a statewide commission
be put to work on the problems of
securing fair and equitable rates from
public service monopolies throughout
the state.
Meantime, forewarned by the pres
ent situation, it will be wisdom in the
future to always be sure we are right
before we go ahead in invoking the
referendum or resorting to the initi-
ative. The friends of regulation re-
.fcrended the Malarkey sill, expecting
that the local public service bill would
pass.
But the local measure didn't pass
and there We are.

BENEFICIAL EDUCATION.
. 80 >>>> >>>

In the schools of the world rests
the home for human advancement. In
an interview given just after his tri-
umphal entry into the City of Mexi.
CO, Madero, the successful revolution
airy leader, declared he would work
for the betterment of the common
schools of Mexico. His statement
shows that he knows the source Of
Mexico's trouble and if he is true to
his purpose Of improving the schools
he will solve the problem. The trouble
with the Diaz government was that it
did not promote the education and
advancement Of the common people
OF Mexico. The people had few civic
powers and they We're not properly
educated for even such duties as
they had to perform. So it is no won-
der that the 4Iexicans have made a
poor spectacle of themselves before
the world.
In America the problem is not so
much to fit the people for citizenship

Board of Trade Executive Commit
tee Discusses Proposed Appropria-

Plans to defeat the provision in the
District Appropriation bill. as passed by
the House for the local Fairgrounds, in
which the entire amount appropriated is
to he taken from the District revenues,
were discussed at a meeting OF the exc
cutive committee of the Board of Trade
this afternoon.
The executive committee went on rec
ord again as being strongly opposed to
tn" appropriation bein@ made entirely
from the District revenues. 1t would
be preferable it was decided, not to take
any appropriation from Congress for the
Fairgrounds this year than to have the
appropriation in that form.
The Board of Trade will be asked to use
every effort 10 have Congress make this
appropriation one-lialf from the federal
revenues and one-half from the District
revenueS. as provided in the organic act
of the District 1t is believed that to
take the entire amount from the District
revenues would be dangerous prece-
dent. A hearing before the Senate COM
mittee will be asked for.
The executive committee also discussed
plans 20 give a joint entertainment with
the Chamber of Commerce in honor of
the delegates to the Pan American COM

COMMITTEE ASKS DISCHARGE.
Does Not Want to Consider Nelson
Report on Ballinger Case,

By unanimous vote of the committee
on agriculture. the House today was re-
quested to discharge that committee from
further consideration of the report of the
Nelson commission on the Ballinser-
Pinchot case. The committee held that
it has no jurisdiction over a report made
by another committee or commission
created by act of Congress or the House.
The three reports on the Ballinger-
Pinchot case, one generating Mr. Bal
finger of any wrongdoing. another rec
ommending his dismissal from the cab
met and the third severely arraisning
his administration of the Interior Depart
ment, thus go back to the House and
take their place on the calendar.
Opponents of Mr.. Ballinger thus are
placed in a position to air the case in the
House. 1t is the purpose Of Representa-
tive Madison. the Kansas progressive. and
the democratic members of the commit
tee to insist that action be taken on the
case by the House. Whether they will
be able to press it TO a vote remains to
be developed.
