We returned to New y ork this at

ing the trip from Boston on the New

which system has recently had so
many wrecks, and which is now I'M
dergoing a very rigid investigation
in the New England states. The trip
on the through parlor train "a Ave
hour trip fer the 232 miles, with only
Eve stops) is very interesting one,
following the Long Island Sound for
many miles. The trains from SIAM
ford into the city are operated by
electric engines, and the entire trip
is most comfortable and pleasant
one. Our travelling companions down
from Boston we're Mr.. w. E. GUNNER
and his young daughter, Miss Ada

sonville tomorrow morning.
Tuesday afternoon in Boston we
took one of the automobile rubber

passengers four or five times every
day, was pleasingly apt and entertain

Cd Ironsides

Ay, tear her tattered ensign down.
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eve has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath it rung the battle shout,
And burst the lannon's roar
The meteor of the oceans air
Shall sweep the clouds no more.
Her deck once red with heroes blood,
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying DER the
flood,
And waves were white below.
No more shall feel the victoT's tread,
Or know the conquered knee
The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle of the sea!
oh. better that her shattered hulk
Should sink beneath the wave:
Her tTlunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave;
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadhare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gaIe.''
The old frigate was restored, and
will now be preserved forever as an
historic and very valuable monument
to her heroic, victorious commanders,

OF the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April. in seven

Hardly man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and

And on the opposite shore will be,

COUNTRY LIFE PROBLEM.

The largest problem that faces
American civilization today is the
building up of country life. - declares
Walter II. Page ambassador to Eng
land, in a bulletin on Education in the
South, just issued by the United States
bureau of education. 1--WE have lust
passed through a period of organiza-
ton of the machinery of the modern
world, making the city and the rail
road, but the country has been left out
New we must build it up. We all know
that IN the coming centuries, as in the
past, the character and the vision OF
American life Will come from the soil.
I'm our early days the characteristic
of the people of the United States was
individualism. Great as this was for
the cause of democracy, it rested upon
a false economic basis. \ man 5 home
cannot be his castle, for he is mutually
linked as his brothers. keeper, whether
he will or no. \ larger vision and a
larger liberty and a larger opportunity
have come upon us as the task for our
working hours. We must organize in
the country
Speaking Of the work of the confer
ence for education in the South, to
which the bureau S bulletin is chiefly
devoted, Mr.. Page said:
1.-The historian of the progress of
democracy could not write more
thrilling chapter than the events of the
past 10 or 10 years, taking as the cue
the note of the conference for educa-
tion in the South. We began with the
school and the child, and we end with
them, of course; but every step has
! been toward n widening democratic
| ideal, to see how we could teach one
another, and we have come to have a
broadening sense of all that cooperation
means.
''To till the soil to train the children
! 10 make the home, a work of continu-
GUS human service, l count these the
greatest privileges that can fall to the
lot of man. We have worked on a pro
gram to bring to pass the dream of the
fathers, that our RebubHc shall be and
remain the hope of the world

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

During the last fiscal year, our for
eign trade was of record breaking pro
portions. The imports were more than
81 100000, while the exports were
more than $2,464, 900, 600. Of these ex-
ports $77S, 1000, 900 worth were for inn
mediate consumption, and $40S, 100000
worth were for further use in manufac-
turing. There was a very marked in
crease in these important items over the
previous year.
How far these figures will be changed
under the new tariff, only time will
show. 1t Will be of interest to consider
the proportion the imports bear to the
exports two years hence. Any arrange
ment, which is new, will have to be
exceedingly good in order to effect the
advantages of a policy which gave US a
year like this last one.

There undoubtedly will be numerous
candidates for place on the bench of
the Vermont supreme court. The
friends of John w. Redmond of New
port a former chairman of the public
service commission, are understood to be
urging his appointment. The question
of promoting one of the judges to be
chief judge will also come up. The
senior judge is Loveland Munson of
Manchester, who has served continu-
ously since 1889. He is 70 years old
and it may be considered advisable to
select younger man. Judge George
NJ. Powers is in the prime of physical
and mental manhood and his promotion
to the chief judge s position would
meet with general approval,

Gives Greater Protection.

A closed season for several years is
provided in an effort to harmonic the
absolute protection already given some
birds in certain states, the demand for
five year closed seasons for shore birds
and the necessity for greater protec
ton for other birds which have been
hunted beyond the margin of safety
The protection accorded Woodcock and
rail is already existing law; that on
swans has been made uniform through
out all the states and that of wood
cock extended from few states in
the northeast to most of the states in
zone No. /, east of the Mississippi riv-
er. The only important additions are
the additional protection given band
tailed pigeons in a few states and the
closed season placed on avocets, cranes.
curlew, godwits, killdeer, stills, upland
plover, wiIlet and the smaller shore
birds.
The suspension for hunting on tie
Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri rivers
allows waterfowl a safe highway from
their winter feeding grounds in the
lower Mississippi valley to their nest

kotas and forms an extended refuge

Before plans for the local railroad
improvements get beyond the point of
alteration it might be well to consider
the advisability of changing the side
walk from the south to the north side
of the Connecticut river bridge. This
would DO away with three crossings, as
the plans for the overpass contemplate
two roadways leading from the over
pass southwark into the railroad yards
and the necessity of crossing the hign-
way at the east end of the bridge
would also be obviated

Only Two Zones.

More than fifty separate seasons for
migratory birds were provided under
statutes in force in 1912 This multi
plicity Of regulations or zones to suit
special localities has apparently had
anything but beneficial effect on the
abundance of game. The effort to pro
vide special seasons for each kind Of
game in each locality merely makes a
chain of open seasons for migratory
birds and allows the continued destruc-
ton of such birds from the beginning
of the first season to the close Of the
last. 1t is believed that better results
will follow the adoption of the fewest
possible number of zones and so regu-
lating the seasons in each as to include
the time when such species is in the
best condition or at the maximum of
abundance during the autumn
For this reason the country has been
divided into two zones as nearly equal
as possible. one to include the states
in which migratory game birds breed
or would breed if given reasonable pro-
lection. the other the states in which
comparatively few species breed. but
in which many winter. Within these
zones the seasons are fixed for the
principal natural grOups-waterfow
rail, shore birds and woodcock In no
case does the zone boundary cross 4
state line. and except in very rare
cases the seasons are uniform through
out the states. Deviation from this
rule leads ultimately to the recognition
of a multiplicity of local seasons.

The legislature of 1912 cost the state
approximately 100000, or $4,000 more

be called to public attention again
later, it is safe to say.
