Americas Chances Weakened

The sudden reversal of Americas
policy toward China announced by
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Bryan in the American Press
is, we fear, a grievous mistake. 1t
certainly was a discourteous act
as none of the foreign powers in
terested had any inkling of the
change until it was publicly an
nounced in the press. This was
a rank breach of international eth
les.
America had three-fold purpose
in it's Chinese policy as formulated
by the late Secretary of State John
Hay:-To preserve the integrity
and internal order OF the Chinese
empire, now republic; to bind the
land grabbing powers in a protective
union by means of gentlemen's
agreement; and to secure for the
long future equal opportunities for
American manufacturers, exporters
and investors in that vast field of
commerce and civilized develop
ment. AS a part of this purpose the
administration of President Taft
invited American capitalists to
join with five other nations in max
ing a loan to the Chinese govern
ment under the approval of this
government. President Wilson has
withdrawn the governments ap-
prevail.
This means that America can no
longer have the voice and influence
it has exercised in the conduct of
Chinese affairs because it refuses to
assume any responsibility. Foreign
nations will now have the advan-
tage in developing Chinese COM
merce and business and they will
no longer be restrained from land
schemes they may devise.
The open door, or equal opportuni-
ties for all, in China has been de-
liberately closed by the American
government. We are sorry this has
oSSu uOuS. we HdO nOpSu that the
foreign prestige and influence of
America might be maintained and
further developed. But it is evil
IDENTIFY the purpose of the democratic |
party to minimize and weaken rath-
er than to construct and maintain. !
The first important act of Sec. Bry-
an promises to be one of the great |
plumbers of American diplomacy.

correctly stated before the voters.
that it was not a question simply OF
securing better ventilation for the
sum of $50, 600, but to secure a bet
ter and more efficient school plant
for this sum and he believed that 1t
was unwfse for men who had not
given the time and attention to IT
that the school directors have, to at
tempt to reject their plan and start
in on a piece neal job. He also
stated that more buildings were to
be erected west of Summer street
during the coming season and in all
of the rest of the village, therefore
in making the changes it is neces-
sary to provide for an inevitable in
crease in the number of pupils to be
accommodated at this place.
Mark Hovey advocated the plan OF
selling the present Summer Street
buildings and erecting a fine school
building on the Howe property and
the present school common.
Prof. Henry Fairbanks urged that
the school directors should not be
cut off from the power of remodel
ling the present buildings.
The Voting
The vote was then taken and
Judge Porter's amendment was de.
feated. The vote authorizing the
changes in the school buildings was
carried by very large majority.
The meeting then voted to appro-
pirate a sum not to exceed $4,000
for carrying out the work authorized
and the town was authorized to Dor
row sum not exceeding 100000 tt
defray the expenses of the work
authorized by Article 1.
Article 4 to purchase the lot o.
land just north of the present
Maple street school building, a lO
1O7 x 81 x SO As, at a price not
to exceed $500 was carried and the
meeting adjourned.

trying to keepsfnh the $4,000 income

ular thing but here is one item that
will show how little effect that has
on living expenses. There is a
strong demand for free sugar be-
cause it is wrong to tax the con-
sumner on the necessaries of life.
Surprising we should get free sugar
just how much will it relieve the
average man? The average annual
domestic consumption of sugar in
this country is fifty-three pounds per
individual. The duty on sugar is
between one and one third and one
and one-half cents a pound. Cali
it the latter and assuming that
the consumer would get the full
benefit of the change in tariff
NWulCl uS WOuA0 11OLJ LAC OOOI VI
living would be reduced seventy
nine and one-half cents per capita
per year.
Go clear through the tariff list and
you will find it will make but little
difference with the yearly expense
account of a family. A study of
the above list shows that the only
articles costing as much or more to-
day than in 1878 are products froIn
the farm. Fibre and Fabri, says:
eff the government could regulate
the farmers trust and the neat
trust, there would be no question
about the high cost of living"
There is no farmers trust so the
| government cannot regulate that.
The supply of meat is greatly reduc-
ed in this country and no amount of
regulation can make meat as cheap
as it used to be. The only way
to reduce the price of farm and meat
products is to stop the flow of pop
ulation to the town and cities
where people only consume these
products and supply the farmer
with adequate and competent help
to produce cheaper. But the cry
of high cost of living will never be
silenced until the people OF
this country are willing to make g
living themselves and stop trying
to make it off the other fellow.

The Prodigal Judge
BY Vaughan Kester

The most original, witty and low
able old vagabond that ever confer
red picturesqUeness on a community
is in the foreground of this story.
Erstwhile slave owner and cotton
grower, ruined through a woman and
through a friend he trusted, he is
now shabby but undaunted; a crea-
ture of mellow, effulgent personali-
ty, he is, alas, dominated by LIQUID
desires. He first makes you laugh
and then admire him for his cour-
tesy and the cool, courageous South
ern manhood that still thrills his ro-
tund figure.
Little Hannibal, human derelict
apparently of little account, yet pur-
sued by men who know that the
of his existence means
the loss of vast estates to certain

Fast Flight of Pigeons

The following item of news from
Woodsville shows the rapidity of
flight of pigeons when they are flying
towards home:
A peculiar incident occurred last
week, Milo Eastman of this place be.
ing the party interested. He owns
a flock of pigeons and sold 20 of
them to w. A. Kicker of st. Johns
bury to take to market in Boston.
The birds were Grated and sent on
Tuesday with stock shipped by Mr..
Kicker. Mr. Eastman received his
check for the sale in Boston, and
Thursday afternoon he returned
from cashing the check and found
the birds there before him, they
having made the fight and found
their way back in almost record
time.

Growth of the Telephone

The annual report of the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany for the year 1912 just issued
by President t. N. Vail shows a re-
markable growth of the business of
the organization. There are 10000
towns, cities and hamlets from
which telephone messages may be
sent, which exceeds the number of
postoffices in the United States by
5000. There are 7,456,O74 tele-
phone stations in the Bell System,
an increase for the year of 823, 449
stations. The daily average of tel
ephone conversations last year was
26,310,0O0. The gross revenue of
the Bell system was 199,200,0G0,
a gain of $2O,OOO,OOO for the year.
The net earnings of the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph
Company for the year were
O7,64426 and after paying
interest and dividend Of
eight per cent, there was a surplus
of $6,047,357.64. The number of
shareholders was 5O,297, an in
crease for the year of 1856. OF the
shareholders only nineteen hold
5000 o. more shares each, $50 from
1000 to 5000 shares each, 1854
from 100 to 1000 shares each and
43,553 less than 100 shares each.
Speaking of the order of the In
terstate Commerce Commission for
a thorough investigation of the
company the report says
The policy of the company, as in
the past, will be to cooperate with
the examiners conducting this in
vestigation and to aid public officials
in every possible way in their effort
to ascertain the real facts respecting
the telephone service of the United
States.
President Vail says in conclusion:
AS to the future of the company,
il was never brighter. Business in
dicatiOns are normal, our relations
with the public and with the public
authorities on a mutually satisfac-
tory basis.
The organization on the lines set
forth in previous reports is ABOUT
complete, and the division of the
work is so clearly drawn and so
closely correlated between the local
administration of the associated
companies and the central general
administration of the American Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company
that there is no duplication of effort
or conflict in administration.
This business and it's broad prin-
ciples is a mammoth monument to
the ability and perseverance of The
odore N. Vail, a man who in addi-
ton of his business undertaking is
attempting to aid and interest the
people of Vermont in the effort to
assist and benefit themselves. He
is doing this without political mo-
tive and out of generous desire to
benefit the wcrM in more than fl
nancial way. Long life to Pres.
Vail and his policies.

The speakers at the sportsman's
convention held in Burlington last
week suggested a new line of work
that may some day be taken up in
Vermont, that of propagating game
in private reserves. 1t may seem
like visionary thing at present
but twenty years ago no one believ-
ed the propagation of fish would be
as successfully carried on as it is
today, so it is not wise to discount
too much predictions of other acti-
vities in the game line.

The cost of living is one of the
most discussed topics of the day and
is one that people dislike to under
stand as it really is. Fibre and Fab
ric has recently published some facts
on this subject that are very instruc-

prices in 1873 and 1912:
