The Currency Message.

Business and politics alike
demand the prompt enactment
OF the Currency bill Business.
because the defects ST the pres
enl system have been subjects
Of complaint for many years.
and we are soon 10 enter the
season when the expansion of
the currency is most necessary.
and the vast crops now in pros
pect viii demand more eXpan-
sion than usual. Politics. be
cause il will be much safer for
the Democratic party to enact
"A Currency law when ID may be
well tested before a Congress
sional election shall occur than
to enact it when an election is
close at hand.
The obstacles 10 Immediate
action are opposition To the
present bill. the desire 70 defer
a. long rs possible any action
on SO delicate subject, and
finally. buJ we fear not Least,
the desire Of Senators and Rep
resentatives to avoid the dis
comfort of a summer in Wash
ington
The President makes an APP
peal in person to Congress to do
It's duty. to sacrifice personal
comfort, to do now what must
be done soon. and to sink diff
ferences Of opinion regarding
details in the support of meas
ure the broad features Of which
meet the financial needs Of the
country and the promises and
principles of the party
He has stated the case with
the utmost force. The rectiti-
cation of the currency, impera-
lively needed for at least TWEEN
~ wears. is more than ever
necessary now. when business
is to be relieved from the re-
straints imposed by a Very high
tariff and a great expansion in
the immediate future is TO be
looked for. He has focused the
attention Of the country upon
the subject and upon Congress.
The duty Of the hour cannot be
shirked Neither can the power
Of the Democratic party to con
fer a boon on the business Of
the country be thwarted by
party dissensions. The Presi-
dent has made equally clear the
duty of Congress and the duty
of each Democratic member of
il. His energetic and iudicious
action. we believe. will make
any serious opposition in the
party impossible, and any eva

Large Coal Mines.

There are T35 coal mines in the United
States which are producing more than
100000 short tons of coal each annually.
In 1911, according to a statement by
Edward w. Parker, the coal statistician
of the United States geological survey,
269 bituminous mines and l6S anthracite
mines in Pennsylvania produced in AK
cess of this amount. The average pro-
duction of these Pennsylvania bitumin-
Gus mines was 32l,7 73 tons and of the
anthracite mines 444,697 tons. The
largest anthracite mine had production
of l,020,420 long tons tl,l42,870 short
tons.) The largest bituminous produc-
tion from one mine Ia Pennsylvania OPP
eration) was l.2s5, 4s3 short tons. Thirty
anthracite mines produced over half a
million tons each. Illinois was second
to Pennsylvania in large mines, having
% mines which produced more than 200,-
600 tons: West Virginia was third, with
80; and Ohio fourth, with 80. The total

OUTDOOR RECREATION IN BARRE

w lDpoh hISIhEaIlc IN bhihNi~
Announcement to the board of alder
men Tuesday evening that there were
only six deaths in the city of Barre with
its 1000 people during the month of
December was coincident with the re-
quest that better facilities be provided
for outdoor winter sports. The former
report was remarkable and the latter
request was reasonable; and continue
ance of the splendidly low record of
deaths is dependent to certain extent
on the steps which the municipality
takes to enable people both young and
old to get outside and enjoy fresh air
and health-giving amusements. Aside
from the action of the city council in
designating certain streets on which
coasting is allowed, the children are left
to shift for themselves during the VIM
ter months to get their rightful amuse-
ment. Sometimes the river freezes over
and affords them an opportunity to
the ice is buried and kept buried until
the next thaw removes the snow, when
perhaps by good fortune, the surface
freezes over and gives them another
chance to skate for day or so before
another snowstorm covers the ice. And
during the intervals of the reign OF the
snow there is practically no chance for
the children to skate-an outdoor spols,
which is one OF the best OF exercises and |
conducive to the betterment of the pub |
lie health. The city ought to have a |
skating rink, conducted in such man
ner as to be free to the public; and |
the easiest and cheapest way to have |
one would be for the city to scrape the
ce on the river and keep it flooded so
hat an even surface would be provided.
This is one of the ways in which the
can, at slight expense, add
% the chances for continuance of the
ow death record Of the city by build
ng up the bodies Of its people.

CURRENT COMMENT
So Endeth This Lesson.

The colonel refuses to be merged. Al
owner of 99h per cent. of the common
stock of the Progressive party, he de-
clines to turn it over to Mr.. Munsey
to be put into holding company along
with the securities of the Republican
party, the affairs of the two thereafter
to be administered by a voting trust.
AS it is conceivable that the colonel
is merely standing out for a higher
price, after the manner of some peo-
pie who find that their property is
sought for combination, we must con-
elude that this is the end of Mr.. Nun
sey's glittering project. To be sure, in
his Press he maintains that, while he
abhors 'dickering" as much as any
body, and is simply aghast at the
thought of an alliance of machines or
bosses, "the very heart of the question"

MIND AND BODY.
Even Stomach and Mind Are Not indie
pendent.

"One Of the richest and most signifi-
cant ideas in the modern study OF hui
man nature is that of the unity of mind
and body. This is the truth on which
physiological psychology never tires ring
ing the changes. For every thought and
feeling, however slight, there is cor
responding nervous event. The inter
twinngs of body and mind are of such
complexity and dellcaey that it is i'm
possible TO touch the one, however light
~, without also affecting the other.
Everybody knows that the body inlu-
ences the mind, for everybody has ex-
perienced at some time or other that
a disordered stomach produces dis
ordered mind So obvious are the eff.
fects in this region that dogmatic ma
terialism has never been at loss for
powerful and apparently invincible ar
guments." This Is the belief of DR.,
Samuel McComb OF the Boston Emanuel
and he goes on to show why
in his article in Harper's Bazaar for
February. The article is called Right

Judging by the report of the United
States geological survey, Vermont pro-
duces marble for practically every use
to which such material can be put,
while the range of color and texture is
as wide as the uses of the stone. After
reading of the summary OF the sur
vey's report it does not seem remark
able that Vermont leads the United
States in the production of marble. In
comparison, the other states are pau
pers as to resources.

We wonder if the l4S votes cast
against limited woman's suffrage in the
Vermont House yesterday represented
the household sentiments of the las
homes, the wives included. If so, the
vote substantiates to certain degree
the anti-suffrage argument OF some
women who have interested themselves
in opposing the change; they said that
a minority and only small minority
of the women of Vermont want to vote.
