people of the state do not know wheth-

commission or not, though the recent
legislature established such a body and
the governor has named the three mem
bers of the commission. Other com
missions were abolished to make way
for it, and laws were passed arranging
the machinery of the new body, from
which much has been expected Both
parties had planks in their platforms for
public utilities commission, and the
matter was one of the most discussed
during the four months that the legisla-
ture was in session, and when adjourn
ment came the new commission was
pointed to as the proudest achievement
of the lawmakers.
But now comes a referendum. At
least, the enemies of The new commits

Wonderful Vermont.

Vermont has been called the Swift
zerland of America, and she has a
beauty and variety Of scenery, includ-
ing lakes and mountains, which can
not be surpassed. Burlington pos
sesses in its essence these wonderful
attractions in which the state abounds.
Her commanding situation on the bluff
overlooking Lake Champlain--a pan
oramic view of the Green mountains
to the east and Lac Champlain and
the Adirondack peaks ON the west
with her enyirons, affords for the tour
ist a never ending variety of attrae-
tions. Her praises have been sung
by connoisseurs of the highest ability.
Edward Everette Hale, William Dean
Howells, Ambassador Bryce, and many
others have spoken in superlative
terms OF her beauty. New York SUM-
This is all true. and more might be
said. More and more the beauties Of
the Green fountain state are becom
ing recognized outside of its borders
and visitors in greater and greater
are coming every summer.
Vermont Is also waking up to the
and will become wider
awake as the summer jewellers in
crease in number The good work is
well started; interest ought not to be
allowed to lag. Vermont herself must
in large measure, how
much of vacation state she will be-

Ida M. Tarbell Comments on the New
York Stock Exchange,

In the June American Magazine, Ida
NJ Tarbell, writing ON "The Hunt fol
Money Trust" says in parts
"ln the process of building up THEN
monopoly, these LOO gentlemen of the
stock exchange have developed certain
manners and customs which to one VIII
makes the acquaintance of the institu
ton for the first time are, let us say
peculiar The members have practi-
cal monopoly of dealing in the stocks
and bonds listed on the exchange. The
public is it's customer; without this Gus
toner the institution would not last
overnight, yet in many dealings the in
terest of the member is put before that
of the customer. Let us say that a
member fails with debts both to his
fellows and to the public. He has prae-
tcaIly no assets but his seat. Would
not one expect that the customers would
at least share with the members in
whatever was realized from the sale of
the seat? Not so; the proceeds 60 to
satisfy debts due to other members OF
the exchange, even if the public gets
not one cent. That is, the exchange is
always the preferred creditor"

CURRENT COMMENT
Figuring Profits.

Before business man can invoice
his profits he must first know whether
he is really making any profit on the
business he is already doing The hap
hazard guess work and Indifferent man
ner in which many arrive at the cost
of conducting their business accounts
for the fact that many men never seem
to get ahead or if do really prosper
they are abliged to work so long and
so constantly to accumulate small
competency, that they have no energy
left to enjoy it. The reason for this
condition is largely because their meth
DDS of estimating the cost of conducting
their business has been wrong, to be
gin. 1t is, of course, difficult TO teach
an old dog new tricks" but the young
men who are coming on and who are
learning the new and saner methods
of business are profiting by the mis-
takes, and let us hope, by their vir-
tues % well of their fathers, and
should accomplish more with less eff
fort. FROM Monumental News.

Standards for Illuminating Gas.

Washington. ID. C., June 19.-The bu-
reau of standards, department of com
merce, has prepared monograph on
Legal Specifications for Illuminating
Cas- which is brief discussion of
the recommendations made by this bu-
reau for state or city laws TO control
the quality of Illuminating gas sold.
The bureau undertook several years
ago an investigation of calorimetric
standards and of fame standards for
gas photometry. but as the work prog
ressed ii became evident that other
phases of gas testing were equally de-
serving of attention. and the field of
the investigation was therefore extended
to include all ges-testing work.
As the heating value of gas is a
better measure of its usefulness for
power, heating. or lighting with mantles
than is the eandlepower of the gas,
the heat delivered to customers should
be measured and controlled in order to
insure good service For openflame lights
only, the candlepower must be main
tanned. As many persons still use such
burners. even though they are less eco
nomical than a mantle, the csndlepow-
er cannot be entirely overlooked. The
bureau of standards proposes that a
secondary requirement be fixed by cit
les TO insure sufficient csndlepoWer Of
the gas for this use, and that the heat
ing value he made the principal basis
Of gas rating.
The basis IL rating Of the gas and its
purity are also discussed in this paper

Though one of the smaller towns OF
Vermont, Jericho in Chittenden county
il making quite ambitious plans for the
celebration next August of the l50th
anniversary of the granting of the town
charter. Aside from the historical ma
ture of the celebration, it is likely to
serve as an old home week of large
participation. The features of the cele-
bration, already announced, are sufficient
to induce a great many former resi-
dents, as well as visitors, to go there:
and Jericho is likely to have such an
occurrence as it never had before, with
reunions, public entertainments and
feastings. There are many other cities
and towns in Vermont which before
many years will have reached their
l50th year, and they ought to celebrate
the event in some fitting manner. 1t
is good thing for city or town to
shake itself, so to speak, for an observ-
ance of a great historical event.

Yale university received million and
quarter dollars during the year just
brought to a close, which generous out
pouring from the friends of the insti-
tuition contrasts strangely with the
meagre returns which some other col
leges are receiving over span of many
years. But the friends of education may
rest assured that Yale will put the mon
ey to good use; probably to better use
than most institutions would.

The Progress.

First comes the fair girl graduate
So full of lore and zeal,
Who woes and errors Of the world
Doth very kcenly feel
And starts ont on great career,
Disdaining selfish thought,
To bring that world back to a place
With bliss and uplift fraught.
So soon she is a suffragette
Devoted to the cause
With poverty and misery
To drive away by laws;
She scorns young girlhood's foolish joys
To list the stern demand
For workers in the social ranks,
And lend helping hand.
How ends the talc2 The usual way;
just in the midst Of all
Another interest comes along
Makes other duties pail.
No longer in her pulsing brain
DO social wrongs abide;
And next we see her blushing bright,
A lovely young June bride.

Elevator Accidents Rare.

The elevators of Mania 5tan carry
eight million passengers every day, yet
they have killed only thirty-eight peo-
pie in ten years. A. Russell Bond, who
furnishes this interesting information in
Cars that Travel Skyward," in the
July st. Nicholas, says that if the shafts
of these nine thousand passenger eleva-
tors and sixteen thousand freight ele-
vators were placed one on top of the
other, the shaft thus erected would be
about five hundred miles high.

We hope that the loss of 317 in poll
taxes in the town Of Rockingham, which
includes Bellows Falls, means only a
temporary setback in the progress of
the paper town. The decrease is prob
ably due to the shifting fortunes of the
paper business, and the assessing per-
haps came at time when the employ
ment of workmen was at low ebb.

VENTILATION OF SCHOOLHOUSES
The subject of school ventilation has
engaged the attention of the authorities
in New York City, and the results of a
recent investigation of conditions show
anything but a satisfactory condition.
The investigators found that in none
OF the buildings visited was there the
latest and best method of ventilation
and that in many of them the rooms
were overheated, subjecting the pupils
TO deleterious influence for many hours
Of the day. In concluding their report.
the investigators urge that more money
and time be applied to this vitallv i'm
portant question of ventilation investi-
CATION" Indeed, this matter Of pre-
serving the health of the pupils in
schools is fully as important as the re-
cent outcry against ''fretrsp" school
houses, for the physical condition of the
pupils may be injured BY their being
forced to breathe impure air. or air that
is too highly heated; and the danger
l. not peculiar to the schools Of New
York City. Everywhere in the land too
little attention is paid to the matter OF
ventilation Of school rooms; and in MANY
instances the only ventilation method
ia the practise Of opening the windows
and allowing the air TO rush in directly
upon the children. Therefore, while
making the building as safe a. possible
from Ere. the builders should paw more
attention to the system of ventilation
and see to il that the latest and bet
methods are nstalied.
