The same old Bill"
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1913-08-25
The Vermont Press.

In speaking of the suaye representa-
tives employed by corporations to work
with public agencies, The Free Press
says: "That is the style of repre-
sentative trust usually employs and
that is why souse of us newspaper men
find it so difficult to oppose them, espe-
eially when we have unwisely borrowed
money from them to help buy equip
ment or in other ways become corpora
ton organ, as once in while happens.
The charge that the press of Vermont
is placed under the control of corporate
interests and false to its duty to the
public is a serious one and one we be-
lieye is not so well founded as it was
v, RS ago. If true to any extent, it is
a discredit to the press as whole, and
is a matter that should be agitated until
corrected"
Why is il that a newspaper man
should ''borrow" from representatives of
trusts? Perhaps the first reason is he
needs money Then the corporation has
it and sShns an easy source of funds.
We do not believe the average news
paper man likes TO receive money from
a source that entails the sacrifice of his

THE MARCH OF THE COL0RED
TROOPS.

The practice march Of the Tenth cav
airy, colored, from Fort Ethan Allen to
Winchester, Va, where camp of m
struction was held, shows that this part
OF the United States army is in good
shape for active service The troops
started from the Vermont fort on June
10 and arrived at Winchester on July ID,
having covered 705.90 miles with mini
mum of sickness among the men and
disability among the horses, considering
that the time of the march was through
the hottest period of very hot sum
mer. The reports of the march thus far
revealed give statistics of the horses
merely, it being stated that one horse
died of the collie, three were overcome
by the heat and were shot and eight
were left in pastures along the way to
recuperate from equine ailments. mas
much as there are no statistics advanced
for the men, it is to be taken for granted
that they passed through the experience
with little or no bad features cropping
out. The New York Sun is of the opin-
ion that the good physical condition OF
the men was due in part to the fact that
they had been stationed for long time
in salubrious country" meaning YER
mont, and that their ability to resist
hardship was based on that residence. If
the Vermont climate is held responsible
for the good physical condition Of the
members Of the Tenth cavalry, the
United States government will think
twice before it proposes to abolish Fort
Ethan Allen as government reserva-
ton for soldiers. But whatever may
have been the reason for the satisfactory
condition of the troopers, it is certain
that they came through most trying
march in splendid shape. To have kept
constantly on the march for more than
a month with only four resting days
mixed in and to have come to their des-
tination ready for hard instruction was
a performance which is worthy of more
than passing notice.

Hurry Up the Tariff.

Associated Press dispatches this morn
ing Indicate that the new tariff bill is
likely to 60 to a vote in the Senate
as early as Sept. Is. Particularly rapid
progress is now making. This is in all
respects desirable. The sooner the bet
ter.
One persistent trouble with our tariff
measures, which have resulted in turning
out of power nearly every party that
has been respectively responsible for
their enactment, has been the tremen-
dous delay that has attended their
coming into being. The country becomes
Sick and tired" of each tariff bill be-
fore il is written on the statute books.
The uncertainty arrests industry and
that reacts upon the measure itself
The Payne-Aldrich bill of four years
ago, the Wilson bill of nineteen years
ago, the still earlier Mckinley bill all
found themselves in disfavor before ae-
tually touching the industrial world.
And it is only natural that the minority
party, whichever it is, should not regret
such discrediting of its opponent, re-
grettable as that course may be.
In the new tariff BILL now awaiting
passage, the country is about to make
an exceedingly interesting experiment.
President Wilson has been successful in
imposing his will upon that of the law
makers. The measure is in consequence
vastly more wholesome and consistent
than was the last attempt of the De-
to which President Cleveland
refused to give his signature. The pres
ent one is genuine revision measure.
1t will afford the best test of the low
tariff idea which this country has had
since the Walker tariff act of 1916. And
that was good enough to remain on the
statute books for eleven years.
Ii is also true that this bill can have
an added expectation of life, due to the
division in the ranks of its natural oppo-1
nents. Not only must it prove failure
in itself, in order to be erased from the
statute books, but those who think it a
failure must find some means of acting
together, if they want their conclusion
to be heard. It's opponents, in other
words, must not only be in a majority,
but in united majority. Here is a
distinction that may add years to the
life of the pending measure. This cir
together with the definite
character of the measure itself, makes
the whole low-tarif experiment now UNI
der way one of consuming interest,"

CURRENT COMMENT
Good Roads.

More and more are people appreciat-
ing the value of good roads. The farm
er realizes more to-day than he ever did
that poor roads cost him money every
day in the year, while good roads permit
him to get his produce to the market
quicker and at less cost, and that they
also increase the value of his property.
A good example of the popular demand
for good roads has just been given in
Missouri where $4,000 men joined to
lift the state "out of the mud" Govern
or Major was in personal charge of the
work and was assisted by Governor
Hodges of Kansas. And Kansas chief
executive says that he is going back
home and fix two road days when the
citizens of his state will be asked to
get out and work on the highways.
Vermont is Just as much interested in
good roads as any state in the union,
and she has some that are better than
those of which the majority of states
NAV boast. But there is room for inn
provement, as there is in everything. 1t
can't be all done in moment, but keep
ing everlastingly at it will bring results.
There are some Vermont roads that
ought to be fixed up and Others that are
fixed up that ought TO be kept in shape.
1t is foolish to make a piece of road and
then neglect it. The automobile traffic
means much to Vermont and the only
way it can be induced and kept is by
having good roads. The highways are
an important asset to any state and
the money that is expended in building
good and lasting ones is not squandered,

Huerta Is Mistaken.

Mr.. Huerta of Mexico is somewhat
mistaken when he intimates that Presi-
dent Wilson has neither the support OF
Congress nor the confidence of the Amer
lean people in his Mexican policy. The
president has both.
As to Congress, its sentiments may be
reasonably assumed to have been ac-
eurately expressed by Senator Bacon,
chairman of the important committee
on foreign relations, when he said: IF
this summary is correct, il is without
foundation. The president is most heart
lily backed up by Congress- Yesterdays
remarks in the Senate, from men of
both parties, justified this declaration.
As to the people, we can fairly Judge

to expect that he would at once agree

The sleep Of Horses.

When the horse sleeps, it is said that
one ear is directed forward, why is
not known. A writer in the English
Mechanic thinks this is TO guard
against danger, being survival of its
originally wild habits. He says: Watch
a horse asleep through the window of
his stable and make faint noise at
the front. That ear will be all atten-
ton, and probably the other will fly
around sharply TO assist. Now let him
go TO sleep again and make the same
noise TO the left. The forward ear still
will keep guard. with possibly a light
ming flick round. only to resume its
former position"

A nearby illustration of the necessity
for care to prevent forest fires is given
by the fire which has been sweeping over
Milestone hill in Barre Town for two
days. The condition of the forests and
grass is such as to cause them to take
fire very quickly and to serve as food
for a rapid sweep of the flames. Until
long, soaking rain comes, there will be
danger of great loss of timber and in
some cases of buildings which may be
in the path of the fire. Therefore, let
everyone be careful lest lighted matches,
cigar or cigarette stubs are thrown where
they will start eonfagration.
