Not content with two Of the eight

Brattleboro expects to participate in a
railroad improvement plan that will cost
more than 100000, including a 100000
union station; to erect a $4,000 school

walks; to revise its village charter and
resuvey all of its principal highways,
to locate at least one and perhaps more
new industries within its borders, and
to build a S35, 900 apartment house and

The Postal Savings

The report by the postoffice depart
ment of the last three months business
will afford special qualification to the
supporters of the postal savings bank
idea during the years that it was under
discussion before its final adoption. The
report shows that less money is being
sent abroad than formerly, and the rea :
scnable assumption is that the postal
savings banks are bringing about the
change which it was predicted they
would when once they should be in full
operation The foreign born element of
the population has always made prac-
tice of sending large sums of money
home for investment. 1t appears that
these thrifty people are now making use
of the postal savings banks in this coun-
try, and in so far as they do, the money
which they earn and save here remains
here. The advantage to this country is
obvious. At the present rate at which

Sidney Snyder Sentenced in Chittenden
County Court.

Burlington, April 30.--Sdney Snyder,
convicted by Chttenden county court
jury short time ago of criminal rela
tions with a woman named Marilda
Maynard who has since fled the juris-
diction, was taken into court yesterday
for the purpose of having sentence i'm
posed in his case. Judge Miles, in pass
ing sentence mentioned the fact that
Snyder had been given fair and i'm
partial trial by jury and had been found
guilty. He spoke of the character of
the crime which, he said. was one aimed
at the very foundation of society. The
sentence imposed was not less than
three or more than three and half
years at the states prison at Windsor
Snyder's counsel has taken exceptions
and will carry his case to supreme court.
He Is now out on 81 900 bail When
Snyder, who is married man, and the
Maynard woman were to have had pre-

man. He took the case to supreme
court, which affirmed the Judgment of
the lower court.

Complaint has been made in Mont
pelier that teams do not give the road
to fire department apparatus going to
fires; and the complaint is well made
for drivers of the apparatus should not
be called upon to dodge distractions
when driving at top speed. In large
cities, not only is it insisted that street
vehicles give clear path to the fire
fighting apparatus, but it is also re-
quired that street cars stop at once on
the approach Of such apparatus and re-
main stationary until all the apparatus
in past. Such a concession is wise, too.
The general public of Barre, although
generally reasonable in this matter,
needs to be reminded now and then that
the drivers of the fire department APP
paratus should be favored and given
clear road and the street car employees
also are warned, as the great majority
of the calls in Barre are on streets hav.
ing street car track.

special action" If there is any differ
ence of meaning between what The Re
former said and what Governor Mead
wrote, it is too minute for us to detect.
Perhaps the governor is right in saying
that discussion of the matter is not
worth while, but he is wrong when he
brands The Reformer's version OF the
incident as misleading Re
former.
The discussion hinges on the question
whether Gov. Wilson came to Vermont
on spell binding trip or not. If his
mission was entirely non-political and
not intended to further his own candi-
dacy for president or that of his party,
then it would have been entirely proper
for the governor of ,rmont, although
man of different political faith, to pre-
side over the meeting and introduce the
speaker, at the same time extending a
welcome to fellow executive Such an
act would have been nothing more than
courtesy
On the other hand, If Governor Wilson
was on partisan tour with purpose to
advance his private political interests,
he should have been treated no differ
emily than any other seeker for office,
whether such seeker happened to be an
office holder of some sort or citizen in
private life. In the latter case, Gov
Mead's position would have been correct,
for it would have been extremely anus
ing to see Republican governor Of Yer
mont presiding over a Democratic rally. !
Those who listened to Gov. Wilson's ad-
dress in Brattleboro are in position
to determine for themselves the nature
of the message which the New Jersey
executive brought to Vermont, and, there
fore, to decide on the propriety of Gov,
Mead's refusal

deposits are accumulating under the
postal savings system, it is not at all
unlikely that another of the predictions
OF the supporters of the policy may come
true. The idea that enough money
would be gathered up in this manner
to be of any assistance to the govern
ment in meeting the enormous cost of the
Panama canal was ridiculed in not a
few of the leading newspapers in the
country. 1t could at best, so it was as~
serted, be no more than drop in the
bucket, and of course as yet this is true.
But the deposits in the postal banks are
convertible into government bonds, and
are already being so converted to con-
siderable extent, with the certainty that
there will be Il rapid increase in this
form OF investment by the common peo-
Pile in the near future. The holding of
government bonds in small denomina-
tons by the French people has been
source of great strength to the republic
of France, and it cannot fail to have a
similar effect here when the practice be-
comes general as it now seems sure to
do under the operation of the postal saw
ings banks. Meanwhile there is no indi-
cation that the savings banks are affect
ed by any falling off in their deposits,
and indeed it is reasonable to expect that
the further development of the habit OF
saving will operate in their favor rather
than against them.-Mancheste Union.

Primaries May Disrupt Parties.

Many political observers are conclud-
ing that the primary system, as nov
being exhibited is calculated to make
parties fight within themselves 50 bit
terly that they will be unable to fight
each other after primaries have been
held. The tendency under the old con
vention was to keep contests for nomina-
tions fairly within the limits Of broth
erly amenities. 1t was not an unusual
triumph for the politicians of the old
school to fight desperately for delegates
and then. when all was over, join in a
campaign against the common enemly
without having said a word the enemy
could use as ammunition for his bat
teries. The new system, from this point
Of view, seems capable of playing the
deuce with party organizations. Con-
slider, for example, what Taft has said
of Roosevelt and what Roosevelt has
said of Taft, and for moment con
template the possibilities OF such state
ments as quoted by the Democrats in
case either gets the nomination. 1t may
be that we are on the verge of a break
up of the party system in America and
that the primary system has come in
the nick of time to speed the disinte-
grafton. In the long run. however, If par
ties are to be maintained in national
politics, the primary as an oratorical
will need to be used with
more restraint than is now being shown,

Although one would scarcely know it,
the fact remains that LaFolette is also
candidate before the Massachusetts,
primaries to-day. The issue between
Taft and Roosevelt has been so promi-
nently before the public during the last
few days that La Follettes candidacy
has almost been lost sight of; yet he is
likely to poll considerable progressive
strength, and what he gets will detract
from Roosevelt's possibilities.

W. c. T. U.

At meeting Of the w. G. I. U. held
last week What Amusement Shall We
Furnish Our Children" was the subject
for discussion. The time was taken up
in denouncing the dance and card-play-
ing, and while the evil attending these
amusements cannot be too severely crit
icised, vet we were left where we begun.
In order to arouse our mothers and
fathers to thinking along the line OF
this subject, we quote from able white
ribboners the following strong para
graphs taken from the Chautauqua adj
dresses on Conservation OF Child Life:
1t is we'll known that young people
are far more conventional than their
elders. If they think certain way is
the proper way to do thing that way
is the way they all want to do or act or
dress. Let us give them so much of
the right kind of pleasure and stimu-
late them to such ideals and standards
of living that the power of the lower
will lose its appeal. We cannot draw
full buckets out of empty wells. We
must put into the life of our young
people the Joy Of physical and mental
activity necessary to their well-being if
we are to produce strong, steady, moral
and efficient citizens.
Again, Miss Phelps gave it as her
opinion that the moving picture shows
had come to stay and must be recog-
nized as great factor in the shaping of
ideals. The question as to the kind of
ideals which will be shaped depends up
on the kind of pictures which are
shown. Ruskin tells us that the art
life of people determines what their
civilization will be. The education by
pictorial representation is the basis of
this art-education, and the better the
pictures which are represented the bet
ter will be the grade of tbs civilization
of the country. In the different cities
and towns of the country more than a
million people in the aggregate attend
the moving picture shows every even
ing. If the censorship over the pic
lures which are shown is lax there will
be the germs of immoral ideas lmplant-
ed in the minds of these people. 1t is
true that the majority of people who
patronize the moving picture shows are
those who have limited means. There
fore such show, we'll administered,
can be great educator to one who can
not read extensively. One way to
counteract the degrading influence of
the low theatre is to furnish the home
with good books and magazines. The
boy or the girl who loves good books
will rarely get into bad company.
