VermOnt'S Good Manners
From Brooklyn Eagl


Score one for the people of Windsor
Vermont! They understood that if MI
Wilson went to church it was as man
aad not as president of the United States
Therefore, there was no uuseemly mot
standing about the church steps anc
''gawping" when the Wilson family
arrived on Sunday. The people Of
Windsor could no more suppress the
pestiferous photographers than the Pres
ident could. but Windsor was lot re
sponsible for their sins.
The people went to their pews quietly
when they reached the church as theF
do on any other Sunday. When the
president arrived the opening anthem
was already begun, and at its close !
netghbor handed hymn books to thu
president and Mrs. Wilson. as he might
have done to any other stranger. THAI;
is all the demonstration which tM
presidential presence called forth.
The reputation of the Connection
valley as a resting place for greatness
promises to be enhanced even more By
the good manners of it's residents than b.
its scenery and its cold nights. Thu
summer capital" has usually been '
synonym for strings of sightseers and
social fuss generally. The rest which the
president could take in it has only been
rest in comparison with the heat and
turmoil of Washington. At Cornish
President Wilson seems to be really rest
ing, thanks in good part to the consider
alton of his neighbors. The county
should be grateful to them for letting the
rest more arduously or is better entitled
to take it without Interruptions.

Millions Lost By Emigration

While com mittees of both houses o
congress are preparing to press immi
grafton reforms at the next session
Speaker Clark is giving attention to tn,
other side OF the question. Emigration
the speaker said in a statement recently
is costing the United States millions o.
dollars year in actual money, aside
from tho loss involved in giving up rea
American to be replaced by a foreign
immigrant.
at is high time" said Mr.. Clark, "that
more attention be paid to the influence
of migration upon our future. Those
Americans who are leaving us understand
our institutions, our ways and ouI
aspirations, while most of the immigrants
into this country have to learn these
things.
"In one week not long ago 1,S4j
American farmers. with $685., 800 in cash
and $145, 200 in personal property, crossed
into western Canada to settle permanently
in British North America. That's an
average of 1888 per capita. and that week
was below the weekly average into that
region alone. How many 60 to other
countr' es I do not know.
"These emigrants are among our best
citizens. l am personally acquainted
with 200 or 800 of them. There is not a
bad or shiftless man in the lot. They
are seeking to better their condition.
They almost invaribly take their families
with them. The principal reason they
expatrate themselves is the lure of
cheaper lands and less stringent laws as
to homesteadipg, etc.
Congress should make our homestead
conditions as easy as possible compatible
with safety and should increase the area
for home building by judicious en-
couragement of both irrigation and
drainage.
'A statistician has figured out that tie
average adult citizen is of the money
value of 81 200, considered solely as an
asset to the country. If that is true the

Canadian border depleted the asset of the

Pennsylvania expects to add to its

taxing every ton of anthracite coal
mined. The coal barons see this tax and
60 it several cents ton better by raising
the price Of coal. The advance in price
will not only pay the tax but will leave
comfortable margin of additional profit

some excuse for drawing $4,000 a year.

A Wonderful Savings Bank
Growth

On June 30th the Hyde Park
Savings Bank passed the two
and one-half million dollar mark
in deposits.
On June 3oth, 1907, six years
ago, it's deposits were only $S44,-
1884.
In other words, the Hyde Park
Savings Bank has practically
multiplied it's deposits by three
in the short space of six years.
This means an average gain in
deposits of over nine hundred
dollars a day for every business
day in the entire six years.
1t means that the deposits ex-
ceeded the Withdrawals by an
average of more than $277,OOO
per year for the entire six years,
The deposits exceeded the with
drawals for the year ending June
80, 1913, by $685. 1853
These figures are interesting
from two points of view, viz
First, they indicate the general
prosperity of our State, and Sec
ond, they indicate that the peo-
pie of Vermont have come to
place great confidence in the bus
mess sagacity and conservatism
