1t would be good plan for every Yer
mont community TO form village i'm
provement society, just for the purpose
of having an annual cleaning-up move
ment in the spring of the year and then
to keep the community clean OF rubbish
until such time as the blanket of snow
comes to assist in the work of beauti-
flying. Many Vermont villages now have
such societies and are the better for
them The other villages, which, we are
sorry to admit, are far in the majority,
ought to follow suit at once. Clean, at
tractive villages are a powerful magnet
to visiting people, SO powerful that it
may serve to bring new and agreeable
permanent dwellers. Therefore, each Yer
mont community will find it TO its adj
vantage to undertake this work and keep
it well done.

Already the British inquiry into the
Titanic disaster has brought out one
fact which Senator Smiths questioning
failed to reveal, and that is that fire
broke out on the Titanic in the early
part of its voyage from Southampton
toward New York. That fact has little,
or no, bearing, of course, on the wreck
ing of the great vessel, but it adds to
the conviction Of the superstitious that
the Titanic was a hoodoo ship at best,
inasmuch as the incident was the second
in the series of three untoward events
which eliminated in the complete loss
of the liner. The first incident was the
Titanic's collision with the steamer New
York, or rather the sucking in Of the
New York just as the Titanic was start
ing ont. The discovery of the fact of
the fire leads to the hope that the British
inquiry may bring out more conclusive
findings than were uncovered in the Sem
ate probing.

The village of st. Johnsbury has pur-
chased an automobile fire truck which
is guaranteed TO climb any hill in that
village, which, of course, includes the
hill from the railroad station to the cen.
ter of the village. And not only that
but the machine is guaranteed to climb
any hill at rate of AS miles an hour
The Barre city council should bear in
mind this st. Johnsbury guarantee when
they get around to purchase the auto
truck for which they have appropriated
money. Barre has more hills than st
Johnsbury and some of them perhaps
sleeper than the steepest hill in the lat
ter place; and if this municipality is to
have an automobile in its fire depart
ment it must have machine suited for
the needs, or come back on the manu-
featuring concern if it doesn't prove ca
psble of climbing the hills at reasonable
speed. Moreover, this guarantee should
be accompanied by bond in order to
make it of value to the city.

CURRENT COMMENT
Yermont,s Rank in Literacy.

In Vermont in 1910 there were l0,S06
persons over ten years of age who could
not write. This number is 81 per cent.
of all the persons above that age In
Vermont in that census year Crafty
ingly it is the lowest illiteracy per-
centage in New England and four per
cent. less than the average for the en-
tire country. which is II. Since the
census of 1900, good deal has been
heard OF Vermont's retrogression in the
scale of literacy and the subject has
been regularly given attention in the
platforms OF the Democratic party. The
tide has turned.
In 1900 Iowa and Nebraska with the
same percentage led all the other states
in literacy. Iowa now leads with only
1T per cent. Between the two censuses.
every state made gains in literacy ex-
cept New York, which stood still, and
Connecticut, which unaceountably lost
ground by tenth of one per cent.
In New England the number Of persons
per thousand who cann@t write stand in
order OF rank as follows:
Vermont, 81; Maine, Al New Hamp-
shire, 40; Massachusetts,, 50; Connecti-
cut, so; Rhode Island, II. The average
per thousand for all New England is
slightly less than SO.
As between II illiterate persons per
thousand in Iowa and 300 in Louisiana,
there is a wide difference, but as com
pared with Iowa's number, Vermonts 81

descent of the Republican presidential
contest into mere prize fight affair,
with everything there but the actual
physical clash. Mr.. Roosevelts hat, as

Says the Springfield, Mass, Repubi-
can:
The United States Senate's large ma
iority in favor of the workmen's com
pensation bill is an encouraging sign OF
progressiveness in that body. The bill
passed had been carefully considered by
a special commission appointed to inves-
tigate the subject, it had been Endorsed
also by the national civic federation and
prominent labor leaders. President Taft
is on record as favoring it. The bill
ought to pass the House and become a
law at this session. thus demonstrating
that legislation of this character can be
secured. The sooner a law Of this sort
can be passed upon by the United States
supreme court, moreover, the better. For
an authoritative Judgment by that court
on certain controverted legal questions
involved would tend strongly TO unity

subject.
