Many Lexington Citizens Will
See Ringling Show at Kan

A great many Of Lexington
people are going to Kansas City
on Monday, July 81, 1911, to
the Ringing Bros. Circus. 1t will
be the only opportunity this year
and the railroads are preparing
to handle thousands of visitors
from the surrounding terri
tory.
Ringing Brothers have made
many important Improvements
since they last appeared in
this part of the country. AT
Madison Square Garden, New
York, where the season began,
the performances were attended
nightly by the biggest crowds
that ever saw a circus in Man
haitian, and the Newspapers were
not backward about saying that
tie Ringing Brothers were pre-
senting, in every respect, the
best entertainment of the kind
ever given there. The per-
furmances in Kansas City will
be identical with those given in
the Garden, not the slightest
change having been made in the
long program.
The circus offered this year is
one Of wonderful novelty. In
stead Of the usual single thrill
er presented by other circuses
the Ringing Brothers are head
ing their bill with 40 less thar

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1911-12-11

A dispatch from Portland, Me-, says
that "Maine and Vermont quarry men
are anxiously awaiting decision of the
secretary OF the treasury whether to use
Maine or Vermont granite for the pro-
posed million-dollar postoflice building
at the capital The contract will BE-
worth S600000" What's the matter
with some Of our own concerns coming
in for share of the plum, or is this
another case where shipping facilities

Quincy, Mass, Ledger.
Quincy is not nearly as much handi-
capped as regards transportation as is
the Vermont concern which has been bid
ding on the great contract mentioned
above Indeed, Quincy is so near the sea
and, moreover, has so good railroad ac-
commodations that the cry of poor ship
ping facilities does not accurately apply.
Probably the reason why Quincy con.
Germs are not mentioned in connection
with this contract is that they did not
go out after it as did the Vermont and
Maine concerns. This is not situation
in which everything comes to him who
waits.

bone and sinew OF the nation. A few
weeks ago a state corn show was held Mt
Windsor, VT, and a boy who had IL
ears to exhibit, but who missed his train,
trudged Is miles over the country roads
from Jericho to Windsor, hugging his
corn all the way, to make sure that it
got into the exhibition. One would like
to be able to add that he won premium
or prize, but the fact is that he didn't,
and perhaps the story is better so, for
that ls-mile walk was a victory in itself.
Springfield, Mass, Republican.
That is almost too good tale to
dispute in any way; but desire for ac-
curacy will cause Vermonter to remark
that if the contemporary meant Jericho,
W.T. in the story, the contemporary was
about rs miles off in its distance reckon
ing From Jericho, VT, TO Windsor, VT,
is very much of walk, and boy carry
ing twelve ears of precious corn would
find it quite a chore. Possibly the con
temporary got the name of Jericho con-
fused with some town nearer to the scene
of the corn show. That being so, the
worth of the story loses nothing by the
mistake; the Vermont youth did show
singleness and determinedness OF pur-
pose which ought to bring him better
results in the years of business activity
to which he win resolutely set his face.
1t ought to be remarked, too, that there
are many others like him in Vermont,
except that they make the manifesto
tion in other ways. One of the ways
was in the spirit back of the very corn
show mentioned, in which the originators
displayed considerable initiative and
very great deal of determination, quail
ties which were well rewarded with sue
cess, as we are informed.

Inconsiderate Flames.

1t is rather too bad that the fire which
destroyed the union station at White
River Junction last week did not select
for its work some station along the
Central Vermont which could be lost
with less regret. If it had beer the
station at Burlington, it might have
helped to straighten out the tangle there
which is likely to continue for some
time yet. If it had been the rookery at
Essex Junction there would have been
general feeling OF thanksgiving on the
part Of the travelling public.
Perhaps if the Essex Junction monu-
ment of gloom should 90 up in smoke
some day the company would rebuild
where the station ought to stand, on the
Y. The company probably loses every
year, what the interest on the amount
necessary for the change would be, in
labor and fuel in backing its trains in
and out of the present station. In any
event the damage done to rolling stock
in the side swiping accidents that oc-
cur in the Essex Junction yard would
probably make up any deficiency that
might exist. Burlington Clipper.

longer allow inferior materials to enter
into their construction
Work is TO begin this winter and will
be rushed to completion. just when the
building will be ready for occupancy
the report does not say, but in as much
as its need is great, there will be very
little delay.
Until the past week there was no
question but what Vermont granite
would be used exclusively in the fac
ing of this new structure, but to-day
Maine demands that her granite be
used, claiming that it is the equal If
not the superior Of the Vermont stone,
and through Representative Asher Kinds
of Portland the secretary of the treas
ury has under adyisement his recon-
mendation that the granite used be con
tTGcted for in the state of Maine.
The officials at Washington will not,
we hope, be in the least influenced by
this eleventh hour appeal of Representa-
tive Kinds, for they have only TO look
az the beautiful Union station made of
Bethel granite to know that superior
stone is nowhere to be had. Further,
as we understand, the postofiice building
is to be erected near the Union station,
so they win endeavor to make it as
beautiful building as possible, so that
il may compare as fsvorably with its
surroundings as possible.
However, if Maine should win, would
not the advertising be nearly as bene-
fetal to Vermont, when the building is
erected so near the Union station show
ing, as It would, the superiority Of the
Vermont granite built building over the
Maine granite built building Morris

legislative session, when the representa-
tives OF community of farmers, as is
Vermont, rejected in both branches Of
its legislature, the proposed federal in
come tax amendment, the FIRST and only
state, with one exception, so 10 vote
In the entire Union, and at a later date
TO defeat, the measure FOR a statewide
direct primary law. The designed fed
eral income tax amendment is the meas
ure of Republican president, and it
received the affirmative votes of both the
members from Vermont in the national
Senate, and no writer or teacher of note
upon the science Of political economy but
what has declared that an in
come tax is the fairest and
most Just of any tax that can be levied.
Furthermore, Vermont has the fewest
men and interests OF any state in the
whole Union that would he subject TO
such tax, and yet the farmers of Yer
mont, through their representatives vot-
ed to reject a measure that if enacted
into law would compel John ID. Rockefel-

more contemplate picture than this re-
lection by a Vermont Legislature of the
income tax amendment is not to be found
in the history Of American legislation
A mere pawn in the hands of Wall
street is the Vermont of to-day, nor

hood to even protest against the play

Then again, what an illustration of
Vermont manhood and intelligence was

islature of the direct primary bill By
the circulation of the lobby's silly yarn
that such legislation would curtail the
power Of the little town. The political
boss whether in Vermont, New York or
Chicago, growls at the mere mention Of
the word primary" and because he does
is an all sufficient reason for its ae-
ceptanee. But If Vermont is to have a
state wide direct primary law, then
must the plain voter be on his guard,
for no matter how pronounced the SEN
timent of the people for such law
may be, the lobby will do its utmost to
accomplish its defeat, be the means fair

tees act was defeated by its present

Be On Your Guard

The agitation to the end Of securing
for Vermont state wide direct primary
law appears to be gaining ground with
each recurring day. That the people
want such an enactment goes, without
saying, but it has been the custom here
tofore for the legislative lobby of spe-
cial interests that has so easily ard
absolutely controlled the Vermont leg
islatures to date. that prediction
pledges and promises have been broken
and repudiated with a brazen impunity.
