lie speaker to come into Vermont and
tell about the "white slave traffic" in the
large cities, it would do infinitely more
good for those same speakers to remain
in the cities and tell the people there
just what they are harboring. The way
to get at the evil and stamp it out is
not to go where it isn't to be found
but rather to fight it tooth and nail in
the cities themselves. Probably a COM
paratively small percentage of the peo-
pie in those cities are acquainted with
the conditions right at home, and the
small percentage of people have not had

PAINTING A VILLAGE BLACK.

!, In reply to the efforts of the Vermont
publicity bureau to advertise the attrac.
tons of Vermont, a New Jersey man,
John Cotton Dana, writes Secretary of
States Bailey that he welcomes the in
formation given, but he doesn't like
White River Junction. Some paragraphs
OF his letter are interesting They are.
"Let me call your attention to what
has long been one of the most discred-
table things in the state, and is now
more discreditable than ever. ! refer
TO White River Junction.
''You are using your good brain and
putting in much more energy and time
than you are paid for out of your inter
est in and affection for the state. Mean
while that nasty place, White River
Junction, is every day doing more to
diseredit the state in the minds of those
who come to it and would be glad to
find it attractive than you can Offset by
your endeavors in a month of work Am
i not right
won't you push this matter with the
staet railway officials as rapidly as pos
siblef Even if nothing can be done to
settle the whole White River junction
trouble in the near future, you can at
least bring it to pass that the place
shall be clean day by day. A few dol
lars spent each day would produce a
very beneficial effect"
This is an unwarranted slam at the
railroad village, because the place is as
clean as it is possible to make COM
munity which is the center for several
railroads. Trains are passing through
the village or shifting constantly, so that
it is next to an impossibility to prevent
~the settling of cinders and smoke; but
il spite OF that fact, the village is not
unduly dirty. If the New Jersey man
bad been more specific in his complaints,
the people of White River Junction
doubtless would have been pleased to
remedy unsatisfactory conditions il
within reason. AS it is, they are at a
loss to know what the correspondent is
binting at.

The outdoors looks so fresh and gay.
And Dorothy has gone to play.
Tho boy next door has made swing
And swings as high as anything.
And down the street the organ man
Is grinding all the tunes he can
And here I have to drum away
One whole long hour this lovely dayi
don't see how one hour can be
AS long as that one seems to me.

FAvoRs MUNICIPAL PLANT
For Furnishing Electric Power to Barre
Granite Plants, Etc.

| To the Editor of the Barre Daily Times:
Dear Sir: Noting by the columns Of
your paper the agitation regarding the
power furnished the granite plants, or
rather the lack Of power, may | make
| a suggestion which / think would in
every way amend matters. | would not
| approve OF seeing new private company
started. II would only mean transfer
| ring the authority to other individuals,
to handle and set conditions as they saw
| fit. For instance, should new company
be short of water they would give no
guarantee to furnish power, or other con-
ditions may come up which would be of
great benefit TO the new company to
shut the power off. Why not have a
municipal lighting plantf We have a
water works that is giving entire salts
faction and is making money. 1t Is not
possible to install a lighting plant owned
by the city, that would furnish power
for the needs of all the citizensY The
city paid last year S5,453.20 for lighting
the streets. This is an item worth striv
ing to save and would 90 long way in
helping to pay for such a plant. Nor
is the end yet. There has been an in
crease in the price Of street lights every
year and will be as long as the city will
stand for it, or continues TO grow. Here
is possibility of having all-night light
ing for our streets at cost. We would
do well to follow the example of the
town OF Morrisville VT, where it is pos
sible to have an electric range In the
kitchen. They have cheaper rates both
for household and commercial purposes,
and yet are able to run the year round
and make their municipal plant pay.
This thing Of shutting 200 or more men
out of work every time the river is low /
is getting to be farce. On an average
of $500 per day per man, il means a
loss of 100000 day, besides the loss of
profits to the manufacturers in their
business. Ii also means a loss to the
merchants in trade. The working man
in producing value also produces and
pays the taxes, either in rent, interest |
or profit. | am sure he would much |
rather pay few cents in taxes per year
to cover the payment OF bonds, rather !
than lose four or five, perhaps more,
days work in the same time, which
means dollars to him. Let us by all
means boost for the installation OF a
lighting plant.
