Cross State Railroad

Montpelier and Rutland business
men are discussing again the con
struction of a cross state railroad to
connect these two Ncities. 1t is not
a new subject and is not a project
likely to be consummated at present.
The time is not propitious for secur-
ing the necessary capital to construct
such an expensive piece of road.
But 1t is proper to discuss it and we
hope it may some time be brought
about.
Let us at this time present a pipe
dream that has been haunting our
mind for some time and that is an
electric railroad between st. Johns
bury and Montpelier. Naturally the
route through Danville followed by
the automobiles suggests itself as
the proper one. But it is not the
one we would recommend. Our sug-
gestion would be a line from here to
Lyndonville, from there through the
mountain to Greensboro Bend,
thence to Hardwick and to Montpel-
Ter. The first route would be more
direct but does not touch the large
towns the other route would. We be-
lieve a road over the latter route
might be graded so freight as we'll as
passengers could be transported over
the line. If suitably graded it might
allow the st. Johnsbury and Lake
Champlain Road to handle through
freight by that route at less expense
than it now pays for hauling it over
the Walden mountains
The proposition may not be prac-
tical but it is worthy of careful
thought. Power to operate such a
road could be secured and an cleo
trio equipment should be cheaper
than a steam road. What are you
going to do about it?

the position OF the United States. We
cannot see that he has. His decision
evidently was made for The purpose
OF Fastening the destruction of
Huerta's power and II certainly win
strengthen his opponents in arms.
1t will intensity the struggle and
cause much more destruction than
was possible before. 1t will mean
more dead Mexicans and they seem
to be the only kind Of Mexicans that
never rebel.
But does it open the way for a
man strong enough to preside at the
head of the Mexican government. The
natural leader for Mexico when its
fighting lust is satisfied is a military
leader. The military leader of the
revolutionists is Gen. Villa, the man
who has allowed the most inhuman
practices of war ana pIllaged the
conquered territory without mercy.
If he has any knowledge of a con-
stitution he pays no heed TO it. If

people there will be as much guilty
blood on his hands as there is now on
the hands of Huerta. The outlook
is not promising for better things
as the result of the presidents latest
move. If the president had recogniz-
ed Huerta as recommended by Am
bassador Wilson long months ago it
is probable there would have been
no more bloodshed and no worse man
in the presidential chair of Mexico
than will hold it when the "watchful
waiting policy has ended. Ignorant
and inexperienced special represent
atives" promise no better service than
trained diplomats.

We approve of Pres. Wilson's de-
termination to bring about a repeal
of the act exempting American yes
sells engaged in coastwise trade from
tolls in the Panama Canal. This ex-
emption was an open violation of a
treaty made and ratified by the pro-
per governmental agencies and the
fact the trade was not so advantag-
eous to Americans as many dseire is
no reason why we should not live up
to our agreement. Then too the coun-
try may need tolls from all vessels
to pay the expenses of maintaining
the canal to say nothing of it's cost.

GENERAL FEDERATION MEET
Women's Clubs VIII Hold Biennial
Session I'm Chicago. june "a.


Session I'm Chicago, June IA.
The thoughts Of one million club
women turned to the Biennial Con-
ventfon of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs in Chicago, June Is,
1914. 1t is to be a big convention,
earnest and purposeful.
The Auditorium Theatre, seating
1900, has been selected for the gen.
era1 meetings, while the second floor
of the Auditorium Hotel (all in the
same building) will be used for the
credentials committee, the local bu-
reau of information, ticket and badge
committee for the distribution of liter
ature, the transportation committee,
the advisory biennial committee and
the state federation advisory COM
mittee. There will also be rest
rooms in the Auditorium. Beside
this various halls are being secured
for other than the general meetings,
such as the conference of the depart
ments, the state meetings and COM
mittee meetings. There is a wealth
of good things being prepared by the
general federation program commit
tee, of which Mrs. Samuel B. Sheath
is chairman. That there will be a
correlation of interests in the after
4OOA SCSS1OAS Will Tic
addresses of the morning will be of
immense value to the delegates, en-
abling each to select what she is
most interested in and hear the dis
cussion of the topic in the afternoon
ere the freshness of memory is
somewhat dimmed by the lapse of
time. While the work of the geu-
eral federation program committee
has not yet been completed, it is def
initely known that each department
chairman is working out splendid
plans and her department will have
place on the program. The con-
servation department of which Mrs.
Emmons Croker, of Fitchburg,
Massachusetts, is chairman, prom
ises an address by Clifford Pinchot. |
At $50 in the afternoon there will |
be a conference led by Mrs. Croker |
and she has. invited each state presi- |
dent to speak for two minutes upon |
some special point of conservation
work or upon the needs of her state |
along that line. The subject of civil |
service reform will be handled by |
Mrs. Imogen b. Oakley, of Philadel-
phia, who is national chairman of |
that department and, who will con-
duct the afternoon conference, which |
will have as it's general topic, "How
best to increase the interest in eff !
ficient local government" Several
members of the general federation
civil service reform department will
speak briefly to this subject and the
will be general. The mu
sic department, of which Mrs. Max
well of Ohio, is chairman, will have
in charge the music to be rendered

$2.O1s.57

This is the complete expense of
the work as it stands today. Five
thousand dollars more should be ex-
pended in completing three additional
school rooms, a teachers room and
an Office in the south building, stain
ing the brick work and painting out
side wood work, and one thousand
dollars in additional furniture and
equipment.
In regard to the cost of super
vision by the architect the schedule
of charges by the Boston Society of
Architects is as follows:
On new work costing over $10,-
100000. For preliminary studies,
1 % of total cost; for preliminary
studies, general drawings and speci-
fications, 2 II %; for detail plans in
addition to above, Il %; for pre-
liminary studies, general drawings,
specifications, detail plans, and entire
supervision, SO; same service for
alterations or additions to buildings
10 %. Travelling expenses to be paid
by the client.
The schedule of the American In
stitute of Architects is the same ex-
cept that 6 % is charged for complete
supervision of new work instead of
%. Many architects accept lower
commissions according to their ability
and experience. The School Direc-
tors felt that the best architect avail
able would be most economical in the
long run. 1t was also necessary to
obtain supervision of the heating and
ventilating by a thoroughly COM
petent engineer.
Following is what we received:
Preliminary survey of buildings.
Complete plans, specifications, and
supervision by l.. S. Newton COM
prising one hundred and fifty days
work, fifty of which were in st.

Supervision of heating and ventila-

Vermont,s ..Revolution,,

"A quiet revolution is going on in
Vermont which thus far has been
kept within constitutional limits
is the declaration of the governor of
this state to audiences within and
without the state. He then proceeds
to tell of things he has done. He
does not however tell of the great
est revolution he has introduced,
namelys the pardon of more prison
ers than any other governor in re-
cent years. This represents a COM
plete revolution on the part of the
governor for when he was speaking
before the Congregationalists here
last spring he solemnly averred he
should grant no pardons unless it
was shown that material evidence
had been discovered since the trial
and conviction of the criminal.
We commented favorably at che
time on the sane and wise attitude of
the governor. Despite that PUBLIC
statement he has gone on pardoning
criminals without a scintilla of new
evidence. Doubtless he has some
satisfactory to himself reasons
for this wholesale pardoning but the
average citizen will wonder why he
has gone back on his public word in
the manner he has. Not only has he
compromised himself in his course
but he is showing the greatest dis
respect to the courts of the state.
Each one of the numerous criminals
pardoned by the governor was con-
victed by due process of law. Their
punishment was pronounced by the
authority constituted by law. But
none of this legal work is consid- |
cred by the governor when a pardon
is requested.
1t seems certain a revolution is go
ing on in Vermont but every think
ing citizen may we'll question wheth-
er or not it is a revolution in favor
of law and order or for the personal
advantage of man seeking to build
up his own interests at the expense
Of government by law.

Minority Leader Mann of the

democratic administration and the
country valuable service the other
day in bringing the house to its sens

Such a vote would have led to a
more complete isolation of this coun-

a crisis in it's relations with the Far
