FOR SALE-Large, beautiful
building lots on the east side OF my
farm, overlooking Sylvia, and about
twenty acres of very rich land on
the west side. Geo. P. Miller.

With the Webb Kenyon Bill a
national law and with a state wide
search and seizure law it is up to
officers to see that the blind and
near sighted tigers are put entirely
o t of business. But the officers Of
the law are powerless unless they
have the substantial backing OF
public sentiment. So, it rests with
the people after all to see that the
reign of whiskey drinking and blind
tieerism is come to an end.

The statement Of the rail roads il
answer to the freight rate discrimi-
nation charges that they are oblig
ed to charge cheaper rates where
they come in contact with water
transportation and the competition
of other roads, will not hold water
Il they can haul given amount Of
freight to a point in Virginia why !
can't they haul the same amount
the same distance to a point in
North Carolina at the same rate?
The truth of the matter is, they, in
order to compete with watertrans-
portation and other lines of rail
ways, charge lower rates than they
should, and then force the less fort
innate points, who have only one
means of transporting their commo-
dities, pay for the losses sustained
by reason of competition. In other
words, the rail roads haul Virginia's
freight practically at cost and make
North Carolina pay for it. 1t I'M
just and almost unbearable for
North Carolina to be forced to pay
her own and Virginia's freight.
Jones he pays the freight" But in
this case North Carolina and not
Jones is the Goat.
The only fair way to settle the
freight rate business is for the Gen
eral Assembly to ascertain, as near
as possible, the cost of hauling, a
given amount of freight a certain
distance, then add to this a fail
profit to the rail roads, and fix the
l the rate to this. This would be
fair to the rail roads and fair to the
! people.

Evidently the Boston News Bureau
doesn t take much stock in Vermont 5
''blue sky law. 1t says that the zeal
of the law s trainers to protect inves-
tors from defective securities has led
them into the error of unnecessarily
hampering the operations of legitimate
investment houses, and that the enact
ment has caused a number of bond
houses to withdraw from the state. Tn
der the new law, before attempting to
do business in Vermont, an investment
company must pay a $25 fee, file a
bond of from $1,000 to $25, 900, a state
ment showing the plan upon which it
proposes to transact business, copy of
all bonds it proposes to sell, an item
lied account of its own financial condi-
ton, its property and liabilities, and
such other information as the bank
commissioner may require. The bank
commissioner is given supervision of
investment securities in the same man
ner as with the savings banks. He
may at any time make an examination
of conditions of the bond houses, they
to defray the expenses of such exami
nation. All securities must receive his
stamp of approval before being Offered
for sale. The penalty for violation OF
any provision of the law is fine Oh
not more than 81 900, or not more thar
30 days Imprisonment, or both. II
commenting upon the bill the New,
Bureau says further: 'This volley OF

ed in disregard of the fact that even

Some Broken Eggs

In the matter of tariff making, you can
not make an omelet without breaking
eggs.
Formal notice has been posted in the
Grcystone mills at Providence, that the
plant is to be closed The explanation
given by the owners is that the provisions
Of the Democratic tariff bill will make
it absolutely impossible for us to success
fully compete with imported goods"
The stockholders in this concern do not
expect TO lose anything. The company
has a similar factory at Bradford, Eng
land, where it can manufacture the same
goods and land them in New York con
slderaby cheaper than these can he made
at Providence and delivered at New
York. The present protection has act
cd as a sufficient offset against the higher
American wages to warrant the operation
OF the American plant; with this protec-
ton removed it must be closed.
The owners of this establishment, being
already we'll equipped to do their manu-
featuring on the other side of the At
lantic, are not worrying over broken eggs
their 800 American employees are.

Demise of Mountain Rule.
(Bellowe Falls Times. J

Able contemporaries are saying that
the election of United States senators
by a direct vote of the people means
the demise of the 'mountain rule in
Vermont. Well, let it come. There
will not be as many mourners at the
funeral as some now suppose. The Rut-
land Herald says: ''It cannot be de-
MED that this amendment to the feder-
al constitution presages a new dispen-
sation in Vermont politics, and those
within the inner circle realize that
their talons are to be trimmed. The
day of discounting the future by can
wasting every town, two, four or six
years, in advance of the election of
a United States senator has passed The
so-called "frame ups which have
gone down in Vermont history as the
acme of political astuteness have like
wise passed. The plans laid during the
last 10 years are worthless.

Will you kindly give me little ex
PLANTATION of what is the monetary
system of the United States!
1t is the monometallie, gold being
the standard. The monetary unit is
the gold dollar of 25.s grains, 900
fine, but the government undertakes
to maintain parity between gold and
silver, there being a fund of $15O,OOo,-
600 in gold in the treasury for the re
payment of United States and treas
ury notes at sight in gold coin. Silver
coins are used only as tokens, as they
have a bullion value less than their
face value. The notes are practically
receipts for an equal amount of bull
lion in the treasury. Silver has a
limited value for the payment of debts
and public dues, while gold may be
used to any amount. The gold Ger
tiicates have unlimited issue, while
the issuance of silver is limited by
law.

How is gunpowder made?
Modern powders are numerous and
their process of manufacture varied.
Ordinary gunpowder is made of char
coal, sulphur and nitrate. The char
coal is made from dogwood, stripped
of bark and seasoned two or three
years by a special process. Sicilian
sulphur, purified by distillation, and
minute crystals of nitre are mixed
with the charcoal by sitting, moistened
with water and further mixed as a
paste. 1t is then pressed into n cake
and broken into suitable sizes. Smoke

tirely displaced gunpowder for mill

him to sound the annual warming
about care in driving. The warm
weather of the past few days has
brought the machines out in such num-
bers that one marvels that there are
not more accidents, especially in view
of the fact that a great many drivers
are nOvices at the game and have not
acquired that involuntary control that
is frequently necessary to avoid troub-
lie. Right here may be a good place to
warn automobilists of the condition
of the highway between this town and
Spofford lake. Those who have had
occasion to drive over it this spring
say that the road is much worse than
usual, and one driver predicts that
the newspapers will have more than
one serious collision to report before
the summer is over unless unusual
care is exercised by those who travel
back and forth through that section of
Cheshire county.

1t is evident from the talk heard on
the street that there is likely to hc a
lively discussion at village meeting
over the proposition to change the
name of Elliot street to Market street.
While Il good many people have ex-
pressed themselves in favor of the
change there are also a good many
who think such course would he a
mistake from sentimental point OF
view if for no other reason. They
point out that Elliot street bears the
name of one of Brattleboro = early
residents, and argue that there is no
more reason for this town to change
that name than there would he for
Boston to alter the name of Boylston
street-a proposition which of course
would call forth expressions of horror
in the New England metropolis. Folks
