Sufficient buying went on to keep the

In spite of the fact that there are
times when it seems impossible to get
all the coal that is needed to suppl. the

According to the department of com

been shipped out of the country in the
last fiscal year, and Uncle Sam is now
the third largest coal exporter in the
world, Great Britain and Germany be-

outside of their own territory.
In 1913 it is expected that the coal
exports will represent Il value OF So

Business Mems "Get Togethers.
{ Barre Times.)


Like Burlington, Rutland has de
cided that the way to progress is
through the stomach and, in consc
qucnee, it is holding weekly getto-
:sether dinners which are attended by
thc business men of the city. The for
mcr city has been indulgiug in that
sort OF thing for several months and the
dinners seem to be we'll patronized and
successful as far as the casual observer
might judge. There is no doubt that
such informal gcttogether gatherings
once each week. with an address by
some well-posted person on Il subject of
direct interest, can serve to bring the
business interests of community into
closer and less suspicious relationship.
One great trouble with the usual bust
ness life of the average Vermont com
nunity is that the men engaged in the
various activities are not brought into
closer touch with each other than is
possible under a system OF an annual
banquet or so Of some of the leading
organizations OF the community.
! In this connection perhaps one para
graph from the address of Judge Frank
L.. Fish Of the superior court of Yer
/ mont III addressing tue NtthiN gather
| ing in Rutland on Thursday best pre-
sents the possibilities of such co-opera-
| tion. Judge Fish said:
= You business men represent the
greatest force in Rutland. With YOU is
the fate of this city. 1t is Tor you to
say whether new aud better things. or
the old, be the lot of Rutland. This or
ganization can bring about anything it
sees tit in this city. You men should
touch elbows all the week and through
All honorable, fair and just means,
work to make Rutland what it is de-
signed to be: The best possible rural
city in New England.
In those words of Judge Fish, while
applied particularly to Rutland there
is something which all the larger com
munities of Vermont may take home tc
themselves. They can all derive spirit
, Of optimism when they get together
and recount the advantages which they
have and discount the disadvantages;
and some measure OF progress. Therein
lies the value Of the weekly dinners OF
, the business men of Burlington an,
Rutland; optimism is uppermost;. pes
smism is driven out of doors.

Roper, "yet it must be kept in mind
that the Christmas season is an emer-
gcncy recognized by the department as
iustifying the employment of clerks

it lies in Peru, is attracting 4 good
deal of attention these days. This is
local issue, as the late Gen. Hancock
said OF the tariff, but the principle in

According to the Washington STAR
President Wilson demands at the hands
of the Senate q currency measure en-
bodying his notions of what is neces-
sary. He does not expect the Glass bill
to pass, which he originally favored, for
he, with others, has learned something
from the criticisms of that measure
which have been offered by the banking
and general business world. But the
bill sent to the White House must be of
4 nature to enable the administration
to triumph in the controversy. Mr.. vii
son 5 prestige is at stake, and if he
loses now he viii be less powerful than
he wants to be when the trusts are
reached at the regular session.
