how much they owe their Local

the newspaper office to have its dc

public. Mo- day passes in any
daily newspaper Office in Vermont
that the editor is not solicited TO aid

In expressing dissatisfaction over
the fact that the state of Vermont
has been accepting fayors from a
corporation like the New England
Telephone & Telegraph company the
Earre Times reflects an opinion that
will be widely shared.-Brattleboro
RefCrmer.
And still the Barre Times and
every other daily newspaper and
many weekly newspapers in the
state including the Brattleboro Re
former accepted the use of these free
telephones at the statehouse. If the
newspapers que that the Legislators
were unduly influenced by those free
phones what will be the inference in
regard to the newspapers which pro
fitted most from the free phones. In
asmuch as the Legislature at recent
sessions has put nee and more re
suictions on the telephone compan
les, has increased their taxes and put
them under the supervision OF the
public service commission isn't 1t
reasonably fair to assume that the
free telephone service did not have
any great influence on legislation OF
on the newspapers either?

I've been in Tampa the past
week; it's a good ching to get away
from home occasionally just to
see how the world outside your
own little bubble is wagging, and
to make you appreciate your own
particular blessings. Let Tampa
have all those fine brick streets
she can afford, but as for me, give
me the Carpet Grass on the Retta
Esplanade, (the street on which |
Iive). When Punta Gorda gets so
modern as to be unable to live
without brick streets, you'll find
me missing on the Esplanade some
fine morning. Idon't know wheth-
er it is the brick and stone of a
city that absorbs heat like sponge
and then lets it radiate during the
hours of the night, but it always
seems to me that a city is uncom-
fortably warm in the summertime.

DR.. J. E. Scott, Chairman of the
Coryell' Ferry Chautauqua Associat-

nouncement:
Hon. William Jennings Bryan
recently entered into a contract
with the Pennsylvania Chautauqua
Association to deliver six lectures
on its circuit; one each at Strouds-
burg, Newhope, Doylestown. Ken
nett Square, Bel Air, and one other
town.
He made one stipulation: In case
the duties of his office peremptorily
call him to Washington the contract
is to be cancelled
In the event that this contingency
arises which now seems a remote
possibility = the Coryell's Ferry
Chautauqua Association promises to
publish that fact just as widely as
they have advertised his coming.
We do not wish any one to attend
a single session under a misap-
prehension.
