James J. Hill has just passed
his seventy-ffth birthday and heis
today a great railroad president.
1t is profitable to study the methods
Of those who have been successful
in life and while their methods
may not always be worthy and
often times, they fit a specific in
stead of, a general demand, there
ought always be something to be
learned by following the footsteps
of the great and the near great.
The Rutland News has been study
ing the career Of James J. Hill and
picks out as a salient point of his
character, his willingness to learn
from any source which promised
a possibility of helpfulness. The
News says:
"Where Hill won was in thoroughness
of detail. While other railroad promoters
were debating letters in comfortable
office chairs, Hill was on his railroad plat
forms talking with engineers about valves
and boilers and with passengers about the
resources of the country. He knew his
rolling stock and his field as a stage driver
knows his horses and territory.
Hill would talk over his plans with
any one from a barber to a Wall street
Every one would suggest some
idea, until his schemes came out quite
as the result Of a concensus of
his neighbors' common sense"

And now we are beginning tc
hear what is going to happen that
the tariff bill is passed. Prof
W. J. Rolfe has quite deal to say
regarding the effect of free sugar
on Porto Rico, where quite a fine
sugar business had been developed
under our former scheme of pro-
lection. He says that it will mean
restitution for the daily laborer
and pretty nearly that for the
small planter, while the general
prosperity of the Island will be
dealt blow from which it will
require a long time to recover,
if full recovery is ever made,
and the worst of the suffering will
fall upon those least able to bear
it. We trust the professors pre-
dictions may not be fully realized,
but one reason we are trying the
change is to see if a change will
be better or worse.

Eleven thousand Union veterans
died during the year which ended
on December 18th, last and it is
safe to say that as many or more
have or will have died at the end
of this year and yet, we had last
year a roll of a hundred eighty
thousand veterans of the Grand
Army Of the Republic. This is a
large list of survivors, when we
realize that the war closed forty
eight years ago. 1t proves the
statement that the war was fought
by the youth of the country. The
Confederacy also has a long list
of living heroes as mere boys fought
on that side even as they did in
the northern army.

The recent North Haven acci,
dent in which many lives were lost
is found to have been caused by
imam failure" according to the
report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The engineer and
the brakemen are found to blame
for disregard Of signals but over
and above that the commission
blames the officers of the road
as they found "there was a de-
plorable lack of supervision on
the part of operating officers"
which accounts for the conditions
which led up to this accident.
There seems to be sound common
sense in this conclusion as there
has been series of wrecks on
this road in a limited period of
time which shows that more than
an occasional engineer was neg
ligent.

The corn canning factory has
closed for the season. The early
frost cut down the seasons output,
but even 50, this valley at this point
ought to raise more corn when the
ready market has been provided
for it. The farmers near enough
to haul their corn to the factory
can make their farms much more
valuable by studying conditions
and cultivating corn to get the
best yield per acre, both in guam
tity and quality. The factory is
ready to accommodate the farmers
and run night and day to save the
corn, if it is brought in that fast;
the pay is quick; and the labor no
more than for any crop, which pays.
The canning factory ought to be
appreciated for what it is-a gen.
uine asset to the farms up and down
the valley for several miles in all
directions.

The Waterbury Record finds
that the promotion of Edmond
Deschenes, Jr., to the position of
auditor of the Central Vermont
Railroad, after a service of twenty
years in the auditing department
of that railroad; and the making
of John G.. Farwell, treasurer of
the Montpelier q Wells River
road, after he has been in the en-
ploy of that railroad for forty
years shows that it pays to stick
to one job. It's a good thing to
stick to a job, when convinced
that it is the right job. The only
trouble is that if you get a square
peg in a round hole it sometimes
sticks harder than a round peg
in a round hole. But the thorough
mastery of the task which long
years of work give is the best
preparation for promotion.
