Hollanders for Vermont.

The project of getting Hollanders to
settle in Vermont is meeting with favor
able comment. State Commissioner OF
Agriculture +. S. Brigham and Rev.
John Van Burk of Monterey, Mass, a
native of Holland, have been making an
extended trip through the state looking
over the situation. There are plenty of
prospects for immigrants in Vermont,
and they would prosper and make good
citizens once they get established. In
onder to get them to locate here it will
be necessary to make them a generous
offer. and have them colonize near to-
gether, where they can feel free to en-
ioy manners and ways of life to which
they are accustomed. Much is said of
the Swedish colony in Maine. This is
a success, but we must remember con-
ditins are somewhat different there than
in Vermont. The Swedes who settled
New Sweden in Maine were generously
helped by the people of tnat state. Con-
cessions i'm land and aid in other ways
were freely given to secure that colony.
They have prospered and to-day are
prominent among the farmers of Aroos-
took county.
We believe that success viii only fol-
how immigrant colonization that is car
ried out on the plan Maine adopted in
getting the Swedes to settle New
Sweden, From colonies thus established
in time will come help for the farmers.
But they must have time to get accus-
toned to our ways and methods before
We can expect them to supply the much
needed farm help. We believe that col
would be much more perma-
nent and helpful than scattering the
immigrants about the state.
The state needs such sturdy, indus
trious, people as the Hollanders and
Swedes, but we want when they come
here to make inducements that will
tend to make them permanent citizens.

A Plea for the Return of Miss Innocence

"This is a straight-from the shoulder
talk to the fathers of young girls. We
hope mothers will read it also, but We
want them to pass it on to their hus-
bands without fail. The American father
needs jolt. And this is a jolt handed
from one father to another.
We are not given to dePloring the
passing of the good old days We be-
lieve that many deeayed and useless
customs have been. cast aside, and that
to-day carries much to admire and re-
ioce over. But we have made a mistake
in letting our girls grow up too fast.
There is neither meekness nor shadow
in the eyes OF Miss Sixteen to-day.
Neither is she exactly what you would
call sweet" She Is smart" and anus
ing. but she does not bring a tremulous
smile tn the lips of old age nor fill the
hearts OF men, young and old, with the
fine old desire to protect and screen her
from all that might hurt or eontaml-
nate. Her eyes invite and challenge.
Her bearing announces an independence
that Is too assertive. There is nothing
reluctant about her feet. Rather they
press eagerly toward the dress, manners,
customs and pleasures designed for
those who have plucked ripe fruit from
the tree OF knowledge.
We men are proud of this new girls
spirit, of her achievements in the class
room OF her resoureefulness and adapt
bility when economic conditions force
her into our factories, stores and offices.
We smile at her good-humoredly and
say, Go to it, grille" when she elbows
her way into the crowded lunchroom or
trolley. But We miss the shadow in
her eyes, the lily In her hand, and we do
not like to think OF her as a wife for
our son. II we stop to analyze her posi-
ton in the general scheme OF life we
think vaguely that she belongs in a
class of her own, the class that must
hold its own in the stern work-a day
world. Perhaps in preparing their
daughters for the grinding, pitiless con-
tact with those who toll parents have
taught girls at once too mrch and too
little-too much of how to protect them
selves from evil in Others, too little Of
how to flee the evil in self. And so,
Haunting her preparedness, this type
throws off the mysterious veil OF
maidenhood, melting into womanhood.
We are sorry for this girl, sorry for
her parents, and we say smugly to our
selves that we are glad our daughters
are not as this poor, world-worn little
creature, That is because We really do
not know our own daughters. We have
not time to follow our girls into what
we fondly believe to be sheltered, re-
fined life. Suppose some of you fathers
put market prices into the background
and for a few hours walk the sheltered
path which you imagine your hard
earned dollars provide for your daugh-
tiers. Prom August Pictorial Review.

A Maine Law Test.

Beyond doubt the Maine prohibitory
law is now being enforced as well as
honest and earnest officials can enforce
it-not only in one part or several parts
Of the state, as it has often been en-
forced in the past but in all parts of
the state. as has rarely been the case
before. The Portland Press declares
that the law is getting its first real test
in fifty years. Visitors to the state
agree as to the unaceustomed dryness
of the larger cities. and as to the uni
versal activity of the officers in keep
ing the saloons closed and in Selling
liquor intended for sale. In the five
counties where the sheriffs were removed
in the spring by legislative action for
their failure to enforce the law, the new
sheriffs are particularly active, though
the cities involved are those where popu-
lar sentiment has demanded. and pre-
sumably still demands, non enforcement
In Bangor the hotels, now with closed
bars, refused reduced rates for the an
nual meeting of the state grange next
fall on the ground that this body has
been perniciously active in hurting the
hotel business.
All this rigid enforcement means that
the people Of Maine are having good,
if not their first, opportunity TO Judge
the prohibitory law and that when they
vote in 1914 they can vote according to
known conditions and not according to
theories. for the continuance of enforce
ment, if not the continuance of the law,
will be leading issue at the 1914 cleo
ton. The law will stand or fall by
this trial. 1t can never be enforced
better than at present. If the results
as regards drunkenness, crime, poverty,
accidents, business conditions. social con
ditions, and so forth-justify rigid en-
foreement and a dry regime, the friends
of the law will go into the 1914 cam
paign with a greater degree of confidence
tht they can stem the tide that for
years has been inning strongly against
them in the growing cities.-Boston Her

COAL OUTPUT INCREASES.
Production in 1912 Shows Advance Of
Nearly 100000 Tons.

! Maryand's coal production has been
fairly constant for the past Is years,
and during that period it has averaged
about 100000 short tons. The smallest
annual output in those 10 years was A.
023,241 short tons. The maximum out
put was 5,532,8 tons, in 1907. The
production in 1912 was 4,964,0ss short
| tons, valued at IS $1,000, according to
Edward W. Parker, of the United States
! geological survey, the figures having
been obtained in cooperation with the
Maryland state survey. This is about
100000 tons over the average for the 10
! year period but more than 100000 tons
less than the maximum. Compared with
| 1911 the production in 1912 was gain
of 27s,243 short tons in quantity and of
S66420l3 in value. In sympathy with
the generally higher values throughout
the country in 1912, the average price
per ton for Maryland coal advanced
from Sill in 1911 to Sl.1s in 1912.
The coal deposits of Maryland are
confined to a small area in the two
western counties of the state, Allegheny
and Garrett. Most Of the production in
the past has been made in the Georges
Creek basin, which, in Allegheny county,
contains detached portion of the Pitts
burgh bed known generally as the
Maryland big vein" This bed has been
worked for nearly hundred years, and
is now approaching exhaustion. The
greater prominence of this basin as the
source Of Maryland's coal product has
given the name Georges Creek" to most
of the coal shipped from the state.
Georges Creek coal has n hioh repllta-
tion as a steam and blacksmith fuel.
The gradual exhaustion of the big vein
has led to the exploitation of some of
the smaller beds in the Georges Creek
basin, and many companies that former
ly worked the big vein only are now
mining the thinner beds either indie
pendently or in conjunction with the big
vein. The total amount of coal recov-
able from the numerous small beds far
exceeds the original contents of the big
vein, but they can not be so chesply
worked, and it appears doubtful if, in
the annual production, they will do more
than make up the deficiency caused by
the exhaustion of the big vein.
The United States bureau of mines
reports a total OF only Is men killed in
the coal mines of Maryland in 1912, a
decrease of from 1911, when there
were fewer men employed and fewer
tons mined. Maryland also presents an
excellent record in regard to labor
troubles, of which there were only three
in 1912, the longest one lasting but II
days. No strike of any kind was re-
ported in either 1910 or 1911. Most of
the mines are operated 10 hours day.

THE UTAH CAPITOL,
Four Utah Companies Consolidated to
Carry Out Contract.

Cheerful news comes from Salt Lake
City that granite similar to the stock
OF which the Mormon Temple is bu1llt IN
that city has been selected for the new
capitol building. The cut granite VIII
come from quarries in Little Cottonwood
canyon, and four Utah companies have
consolidated to carry out the contract.
This will not only patronize home IN
quarry which will be a feature for sim
liar and smaller buildings in the future,
and in addition to those excellent quail
fieations much money will necessarily
be spent by the workmen right in the
locality where the building is to be
erected, and all of which makes for the
developing of the city and advancing
the cut stone industry. Men should not
go there until they know the job is
ready to be started, for it will take
months to be in readiness. A twelve
mile track is to be extended to the quar-
ries, which will not be ready for use
before the first of August and perhaps
later. With this twelve miles extern
sion there will then be a railroad all the
way to Salt Lake, portion OF the DIS
lance being already under railroad oper-
alton. Much new machinery will be
needed in the quarry, which will not
reach there until after the track is all
in use; then quarrying the stone and
carrying it to Salt Lake will occupy
time, so take notice and be governed
accordingly. The granite is of excel
lent quality, light gray in color and will
bush hammer to advantage The com
of contractors is known as the
Consolidated Stone companies of Utah.
They agree to supply granite as per
the specifications of the building and
TO have the last of the material at the
capitol site by December, ola. II i
doubtful that this can be accomplished,
but as other work connected with the
OF the capitol win have
only partly progressed by that time,
there is no doubt but that the cut gran
lite will be ready as soon as it is need
ed on the building. Granite Cut
