Speaker Cannon seems bound to end
his career as speaker OF the House of
Representatives in position of hostil-
ity to the progressive wing of the party,
which has given him prominence for so
long. On the question of Canadian reci-
procity, Cannon leagued himself with the
so-called "stand.pat" section of his
party and he vigorously opposed the
doctrine as set forth by President Taft,
But instead of pulling the Republican
party over to his belief he made a yawn-
ing chasm which places him still further
removed from the seat of power in the
party. The vote in the House yesterday
was so overwhelmingly in favor of the
Taft reciprocity agreement with Canada
as to show Enthusiastically the trend of
sentiment in the United States. 1t
augurs the passage of the agreement
by the Senate in due season.

Good City Management.

That it is not absolutely necessary for
city to be constantly increasing its
current indebtedness is shown by the
announcement the city of Montpelier
has shown progress in the right direc-
ton the past year According 10 the
report of City Treasurer T. r. Merrill Of
the capital, the net Indebtedness OF
Montpelier has been reduced about Sl2,-
900 during the past year, the debt at the
present time in round numbers being
s253,00O. This is a splendid showing ana
one that Is credit to the thrifty people
of Montpelier.
Every city should be in a position to
make this same showing, though of
course to a different extent. The chief
difficulty in the way Is the fact that any
move in the direction Of advocacy Of bet
ter business policies is liable to be mis-
interpreted as drive at whichever party
happens to be in power
Every city should be in position to
discuss it's finances and the management
of its affairs in general without stop
ping to inquire what the political effect
will be or whether somebody's toes will
be stepped upon.
Burlington Is in serious need OF the
adoption of sound business ideas. with
a current deficit Of $4,000 in round

There was a larger sale of Red Cross
stickers in Vermont during the last holt
day season than during the preceding
season, and yet it was not so large as
expected, nor as large as it ought to
have been, The sale of the stickers
should have been more general in Barre,

of the sale was to care for patients in
