Under the able administration of Rev.
George B. Lawson, formerly of Brattle-
boro, Vermont academy is entering an
era of growth and expansion which has
developed the need of increased accom-
modations for its students. The school,
now free from denominational control,
has just begun campaign to raise $780,
600 for the erection of new dormitory,
and it is hoped that sufficient pledges
can be secured from alumni and others
interested to warrant beginning work
on the structure early next spring. OPP
portunities to contribute to worthy
causes are so frequent nowadays that
givers are obliged to discriminate, but
the appeal of the Saxtons River prepar-
atory school is one that ought to have
especial interest for people in this sec
ton.

In acknowledging our commendation
of Montpelier 5 action in providing
for the young people of that
city The Argus makes this astounding
assertion: owe don t know that Brat
tleboro is ahead of Montpelier in any
way" Great Scott! Is this ignorance
or just perversity? In the first place,
Brattleboro is larger. Figures just
compiled by the local postoffice show
our population to be in excess of 5000.
Furthermore, Brattleboro is served by
two mainline railroads; its postof1ice
receipts are considerably larger than
those of the Capital city; the surplus
and undivided profits of its banks are
almost four times as much as those Of
the Montpelier banks; the amount of
new building. done in Brattleboro dur
ing the past two years is probably ten
times as great as what has been done in
Montpelier in the same length of time.
These are only a few of the numerous
points wherein we excel, but they are
sufficient to disproye any statement
that Brattleboro and Montpelier are in
the same class.

than marked activity in industry con
current with the tariff debate in con

Thomas r. Browne Of Rutland, Dem
ocratie national committeeman for
Vermont, was in Washington last week
and when interviewed by n reporter of
the Washington Post relative TO the
tariff situation in Vermont and New
England made the following statement:
So \ Notwithstanding it has been point
ed out by prominent New England man
ufacturers and bankers that that sec
tiOn of the country viii be the hardest
hit by the reduction Of tariff duties, !
have found that, in those New England
states ] have visited, Republicans as
we'll rs Democrats are satisfied with the
tariff bill which passed the House. i
have talked with n number of manufac-
turers who are Republicans. One
prominent Republican. who held one Of
the highest offices in the state. told me
that he approved of the taking off of
duties. and declared that. in his iudg-
ment, the Republican party ought to
have done ii long ago. / do not believe
that Democracy is going to lose any
thing by a revision of the tariff. and
President Wilson viii get his due share
of credit for pushing through the tariff
measure. There is a feeling all through
New England that the President is
ma king good, and this feeling does not
apply to Democrats only. Vermont did
not 90 Democratic lin the national cleo
ton, but It made a greater gain in the
percentage of Democratic votes cast
than any other tate, so we have no apol-
Ogies to offer. The peculiar thing about

With Most of Contents.

LYNDONYILLE, Vt, June 26.-For
the seventh time in its history fire Wis
tied the Idle block near the railroad

About 15o,OOO,0oo packages were
handled by parcel post during the first
three morths of the service and the
revenue received from that source was
over 100000. That's a pretty fine
showing in view of the fact that the
possibilities of the service are far
from having been developed yet.

In recent week bank clearings reached
the great total of 80, $4,000 900. Gross
revenues of the railroads are running
ahead of the 1912 record. These are re-

that when the tariff bill is passed indus

That prophecy seems over optimistic.

New York, Oct. 15.-The stock mar
ket was again under the influence OF
conflicting conditions today, but the
undertone gave promise of betterment-
The opening prices, while rejecting
uncertainty. showed a preponderance
of gains. These were soon effaced, but
then at the end of morning session a
general buying movement lifted the
level well above the preceding day.
COppers were the strongest of the
active group, deriving their stimulus
from London, where an advance in the
metal was reported. Gains of one to
three points were made before noon by
Amalgamated, Steel, Common and pre-
ferred, American Telephone, Peoples
Gas, Union Pacific and New Haven
Can, Harvester and Canadian Pacific
were relatively heavy.
Bonds were firm.
Repurchases of. stocks sold by the
bear faction carried the morning rise
further, with Union Pacific in keen de-
mand. A better feeling was aroused
by the check to the recent liquidation,
there being an entire absence of pres
sure to sell even on rallies.
The market closed heavy. Another
selling movement was inaugurated
just before the close with especial
weakness in Canadian Pacific, Can.
Reading, Baltimore & Ohio and other
active shares. The decline wiped out
a large part of the gains recorded
earlier in the day.
