If the statement of Charles IT,
Thompson Of the Progressive state
committee is to be relied upon there is
little hope of uniting Republicans and
Bull Moosers in this state. At a recent
rally i'll Royalton Mr.. Thompson is
quoted as saying:
We propose in the coming cam
paign of 1914 10 fight the same clean
campaign that we did last wear. and
we propose to have a full ticket in
the field, backed by the full strength
.of the national Progressive party, and
we appeal to every man and woman
in the state of Vermont. who believes
i'm clean and open management of
our state institutions, to support that
ticket, and it is quite possible that
The Progressive party ticket may bc
endorsed by one of the other partie,
in eur state. -

There certainly IS no reason for COM
plant about the new train schedule as
far as its affects entrance to and egress
from Brattleboro. Boston connections
under the new arrangement are greatly
improved, while the comfort OF
evening trip from the Hub has been m
creased by the addition of parlor car
to the train leaving Boston for Green
field at 600. OF course it would be ex-
tremely pleasing if more trains over the
Boston & Maine were scheduled to stop
at Fort Hill, the new station IN Hins-
dale, but up to date the railroad of
ficials have been unable to bring this
about Perhaps closer connection be
tween Brattleboro and Hinsdale may be
effected at some future time by the IN
stallation of motor-car service on the
new line.

indicates that "Ilarry' Chase, Ben
nington county's famous game warden
during the administration OF Henry
q. Thomas as state fish and game
commissioner, still retains his interest
in things pertaining to the preserva-
tion of game. The book, which con-
tains 23S pages of text is from the
press of J. b. Lippincott company of
Philadelphia. The work will be of
especial interest to Vermonters for the
exploits of Mr.. Chase in the appre-
hension and conviction of game law
offenders are still fresh in the minds
of the citizens OF the state The book
opens with foreword entitled Educat-
ing the Public, which shows that Mr..
Chase has kept in close touch with the
workings of the game laws in Is nj
tive state.

Christiania, Norway. January IL
There has been a revival of the agita-

lean meat. largely based on an article
appearing in a local paper from its
Chicago correspondent. which conveyed
the impression that Norway was used
as a dumping ground for the meat OF
horses and diseased animals. which
could not be sold elsewhere.
The American minister, who on pre-
vtous occasions has obtained fair
treatment for American meat by sat
isfying the Norwegian authorities that
IL was of good quality and was care
fully inspected, has made a public
statement, in which ne points out that
the American authorities do not in

and that the article complained of is

which there has never been any COM
