two hundred vessels were in the lines,

Spithead. The king had intended to
reach Spithead last Saturday morn

SILVER SPRINGS AN ASSET TO
FLORIDA OF GREAT VALUE

Railroad men who travel over the
state often receive inquiries relative
to locations and have an opportunity
to know of various matters in state,
are the best guides to what is a great
asset for any locality.
George 2. Phillips of Jacksonville,
assistant general passenger agent for
the Seaboard Air Line railway, has
made study of Florida since he
come to the state little more than
year ago.
Yesterday he was asked: What is
one great asset of Florida that in your
opinion has never been realized on as
1t should be-"
Mr.. Phillips said: 81 have been To-
Gated in Florida just little over one
year, and your question as to what
is the one big asset of Florida that
has never been realized on matches
me at time when | am in good po-
sition to answer, because / have just
returned from a trip where have in
yestigated what think is the one big
asset of Florida that has never been
realized on-Silver Springs.
of the entire volume of tourist
business that comes to Florida, /
should say that just about per cent.
have heard of Silver Springs, and
about / per cent. have visited Silver
Springs. Of the people resident in
the state about rs per cent. have
heard of Silver Springs in more or
less general way, and about z per
cent. have visited Silver Springs.
If Silver Springs were located in
california every inhabitant of that
state would know all about these
springs, would look on them as one of
the greatest wonders of the world and
would never fail to express their opin-
ION OF them at every opportunity. Cal
ilornia would advertise these springs
all over the known world, and thous-
ands OF tourists would visit California,
not for the sole purpose of seeing
ehese springs, anyway with the inten-
uon OF seeing them, making their Wis
70 them one of the big features of
their trip.
III these springs were located In
some remote part of Europe, thous-
anus of American tourists who go to
1urope every summer would spend a
'ast amount of money and travel hun
ureds of miles just to see these
springs. These same American tou-
.'s's would return to the United
o'ates and boost for the rest of their

SAVINGS BANKS AND BONDS.

1t is matter greatly to be regretted |
that the average depositor in a savings |
bank does not more clearly understand
his relations to the business interests of
the country. He is a stakeholder, bond
holder, but in a vast majority of cases he
does not know it, never thinks of it, 1t is
all simple and plain enough, but for some
reason he has not been taught and does
not know What is done with the money
which he saves and deposits in the bank
He only knows that he is to receive GER
tain per cent of interest and the principal
when he asks for it. He does not realize
the money which he has saved and placed
with the bank, with the savings of thou
sands of other fellow workmen, has been
invested in bonds and stocks, in which he,
for that reason, ought to be interested
| 1t makes a great difference to him what
the value of those stocks and bonds may
be, for his savings have been invested in
them. -Four years ago all the railroad
| bonds owned by the New York state saw
| ings banks were five millions of dollars
less than their par value. At the begin
ming of the present year these bonds were
their par value. Today the depreciation
is undoubtedly greater than indicated by
this latter figure Money of the savings
bank depositors which is invested in these
bonds has shrunk to that extent OF
course, ut is understood that no depositor
in savings bank need feel uneasy as to
the safety of his savings. The banks have
been careful as to their investments of
his money. But in so far as railroad bonds
are concerned, the poverty of the rail
roads is brought home, or should be
brought home, to tens of thousands of in
dustrious, saving people, scarcely one OF
whom imagines that he has a direct inter
est i'll a transportation company.
Every depOsltor in a savings bank is an
investor. Every one is concerned in the
earnings of the railroads, for a consider
liable part of the deposits in savings banks
is invested in railroad bonds 1t has been
popular in the past to oppose the rail
roads, to advocate legislation that SHOULD
| AC9'liNV anu oOl'iStiiilSS even NIlpple theiii
The management of the railroads has not
always been what it should have been
but at present the problem is to give tn,
railroads fair chance to do business il
order that their stocks and bonds NAV b,
somewhere near par value. Every depos
itor in savings bank is concerned in thi
policy of justice and equity, if he onl
knew it. Perhaps sometime he will know
it. When every savings bank deposito
realizes that he is also a railroad bon
owner, there will come about differen
feeling on the part of the public towar
the railroads and the question of sue
rates as will enable the railroads to NEE
their bonded obligations.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Brattleboro People Know How to
Save It

Many Brattleboro people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs

kidney sufferers. Here is Brattleboro

After all, the home market is the
preeminent market. Last year we sold
abroad two and d half billion dollars
worth of goods, the biggest items of
which were raw materials. The annual
output of our factories is twenty billion
dollars, and at least nineteen twentieths
of this production is sold here in the
United States. Certainly in this year
of paralysis in European trade, the
New England manufacturer has an in
creased incentive to suit his goods to
the tastes and preferences of the hun
.dred million American buyers who
constitute the biggest market in the
world.

The analysis shows that in 1870 you
dldn have any bathroom with hot
and cold water, no furnace-heated home,
no electric light, no telephone, no auto
mobile, and pork didn t cost Is cents
per pound and sugar S cents. The very
same. arguments apply to the, State of
Vermont md the voters know it. While
the State hasn acquired the auto
mobiles it has builded roads for them
and in hundred other ways Vermont
is keeping abreast of the times, at a
necessary expense. Republican voters
are saying that in times Of peace under
republican rule We were never obliged
to levy a $10O,00O,00O "war tax to
meet running expenses. Mr.. Howe s
argument for democratic rule in Yer
mont and the national balance sheet
are sadly out of tune.

There seems to be much doubt as
to the scope of the alleged assurances
of Germany to the United States that
the Monroe Doctrine would be re-
spected. The statement is alleged to
have been filed with the state de

on September 9th The real text of
the memorandum states that Germany
wishes to deny emphatically that in the
event of her being successful in this
war she proposes expansion in South
America. That is very different

NEW DEPARTURE.

it does not cure, has been the greatest
