Republicans, Take Heed.
(Rutland Herald.)

Notwithstanding repeated urging
upon the part of party well-wishers
and the newspapers, Vermont s Re
publican state committee has appar-
entity made no attempt at reorganiza-
ton. 1t was no secret that the last
campaign was loosely conducted af-
fair in this state and that the Repub.
licans barely missed humiliation as
a party. If the men who have the
welfare of the organization at heart
do not insist upon a reorganization OF
the party machinery the third party
is bound to be successful in ITS eff
forts to make trouble at the next
election of state officers. Not that
there are not good men in the third
party in this state, but the fact that
Vermont cannot afford to be read into
the ranks of sour-grape politicians
who are fomenting trouble, should
concern the Republican party man
ayers. When the Republican state
committee shall undergo reorganiza
ton, let the men to compose it be
without ambition for political prefer
ment.

THE NEW SHIP AQUITANIA.
Description of the Monster Cunarder
Launched Yesterday in Clyde River.

The Aquitania, launched Monday in
the Clyde river from the yard of the
builders, Messrs. John Brown & Co,
Ltd, Clydebank, combines, in her de
sign and construction, the experience
and valuable information deduced from
the construction and performance of
the Lusltania and Mauretania, and the
many other famous ships that have pre-
cede her under the Cunard flag. Each
succeeding vessel built for the company
during the 73 years of its existence
has in one way or another marked an
advance on its immediate predecessor.
The principal figures of the Aquita
MIA are. Length, 90l feet; breadth. 81
feet; depth from keel to boat deck, 90
! feet six inches; gross tonnage, $4,000
tons; speed, 23 knots; accommodation
for $3.50 passengers and a crew of
nearly 1000.
| In order to lay down the leviathan
the whole face of the yard had to be
! changed. The ground on which the
/ ship was to be built had to be specially
prepared and strengthened, piled and
| cross-piled. Over the cross piles were
placed layers of steel plates, then guam
titles of cement, it being essential that
the ground should not yield an inch at
any point.
In addition to the preparations in
the yard the river had to be deepened
and widened, and the builders fitting
out basin at Clydebank has also had
to be dredged in order to accommodate
the liner during completion.
An important feature in the Aqui-
tania, as in the Lusitania and Maure-
tania, is that extending throughout the
most vulnerable parts, there is that
great desideratum, a ship within a ship.
, In other words, there are two shells,
, the inner as we'll as the outer shell, both
being watertight. The space between
the outer and inner skins averages
about Is feet, and at short intervals
there are bulkheads dividing this inter
vening space into relatively small com
partments. 1t will be understood,
therefore, that any fracture of the out
er shell due to collision will result IL
e the ingress of the sea being limited t.
e a small area at the side of the ship
, In addition to this important provision
there are Is bulkheads extending
athwartship from the port to starbOarC
e side.
t The passenger accommodation will b'
4 provided on a scale commensurate witt
, | the great size of the snip. Inc mrs

Here are some figures that show how
the Canadian provinces are filing up
with live progressive people. In 1901
there were 1,649,371 French Canadians
in the Dominion, 1,26O,899 English Can
adams, 988,721 Irish Canadians and
500 154 Scotch Canadians. Ten years
later the Dominion 5 census-takers
found 2,O54, 500 of the French, 1923, $50
of the English, 1,050,384 of the Irish
and 997 $50 of the Scotch.

The Reformer respectfully calls the
attention of Vermont Republicans to
an editorial paragraph from the Rut-
land Herald that is reprinted elsewhere
in this issue. 1t is fair statement
of a situation that actually exists and
will cause that party no little trouble
in 1914 unless immediate steps are
taken to bring about a remedy.

The fact that somebody is urging
that the present deputy collector of
customs at Newport be appointed col
lector as a "reward' for Is years of
service prompts the Barre Times to re-
mark that the pay the deputy has re
ceived ought to be reward enough. In
which sentiments we heartily concur.

One of the matters to come up for
discussion at the annual village meet
ing is the proposition to change the
name of Elliot street to Market. Those
interested in the change argue that
the street is fast becoming one of the
principal business thoroughfares of the
town and that the name Market street
would be much more appropriate and
more easily remembered by out-of-
town concerns than the present appel
lation. No doubt there is room for
argument on both sides of this PROPOSE
ton, but at present The Meddler
| knows of no good reason why the
change should not be made provided
it is desired by the residents of the
street themselves. Certainly Elliot
street has undergone numerous impor
tant changes in recent years, all OF
which have been in the nature of i'm
provement, and one more ought not
to cause undue alarm.

Where is the largest floating bridge
in the world?
The most famous if not the largest
pontoon bridge is at Calcutta, India,
spanning the Hooghly river. 1t is
1880 feet long between the abutments
at the river banks. The superstruc-
ture is carried on fourteen pairs of pom
toons, which are big iron boxes, and
these are held together by chains run
ming from shore to shore and by an
chors leading up and down stream. A
sixty-two foot roadway twentyseven
feet above the water provides means of
crossing. Twice a week four of the
pontoons are temporarily removed to
permit the passage of vessels too large
to find passage otherwise

OUR QUESTION BOX

Can you tell me where l can sell
cancelled stamps?
Cancelled stamps of the United
States are worthless, unless sufficient
number of tons of them can be accu-
mulated to interest a waste paper deal
er. The cancelled stamp hoax is said
to have been perpetrated by the editor
OF small newspaper in Florida some
years ago. He wrote a paragraph in
an idle moment to the effect that the
United States government would re
deem cancelled United States postage
stamps at so much per hundred. This
notice was copied all over the land by
country newspapers, with the result
that the postoffice department at Wash
ington has been deluged with packages
of cancelled and worthless postage
stamps for the past several years.

MRS. FLETCHERF0R
RACE SEGREGATION
Mrs. William CuIIop Agrees
With Wife of Florida Sena-
tor on Problem.

Mrs. Duncan L. Fletcher, wife Of the
Florida Senator, and president Of the
Congressional Club. today came out
strongly in favor of Congressman
Thompson's race segregation bill.
As a Southern woman, she declares
that her natural feelings demand Gi-
vision of the races, but she added thai
the recent assaults upon white women
have added to the urgency of the need
Of such division In the District
MY feeling about race segregation
applies not only to the negro, but to
other races" said Mrs. Fletcher today.
"If there were a large foreign popula-
ton other than the negro, In the Dis
trict of Columbia, 1 would be favorable
to a law separating the white, Ameri-
can-born, and the foreigners" -
Mrs. William A. Cullop, wife Of Con-
gresham Cullop, and acting president
Of the Woman's National Democratic
League, also favors the segregation
bill. and believes that It is the proper
method for dealing with the race prob
lem in this city. '--- -.
She believes that 1t will mean a better
situation not only for the whites, but
for the colored element which seeks to
improve, and which does not. care to
suffer through the misdeeds of some
members of the race. Mrs. Cullop has
been shocked by the recent attacks on
white women, and she believes that
early action looking to separation Is de-
manded.
