More Hotels Needed.

There is a positive need in Vermont
for more summer hotels. Nearly all the
resorts are now filed to overhowing and
many of them are turning away guests
by the score. This is particularly the
condition in Grand Isle county. There
is no more beautiful section in all the
country. The summer visitors TO the
islands are delighted with the scenery
and environments, and they come from
Canada as well as the cities of this coun-
try.
Only recently Island Villa at Grand
Isle, owned by Mr.. Briggs, turned away
over 80 applications for accommodations
in one day. What a field there is going
to waste for capital to earn safe and
liberal profit on its investment While
the profit NAV not be as large as that
promised BY the western promoters or in
the black fox industry, yet it is 10 times
safer-and right here at home.
Vermont has not got 10 60 away from
its own borders to find opportunity for
safe and profitable investment. The
summer hotel offers every inducement
that capital could require This form
Of investment will. Of course, require in
telligent control but all business ven
lures demand careful management that
they may he made profitable. Idle cap
ital can well afford 70 look around Yer.

War and Our Debts.

Among other things it tthe threatened
war in Europe) is likely to provide a
splendid opportunity to extricate the
country from debtor condition repre-
sented by the large European holdings
in American securities. The Sun be-
lieves that advantage will be readily
taken by American investors to absorb
on their own terms the further sales of
stocks and bonds which Europe may seek
to make here at the dictates of fear or
necessity. If the absorption can be aug
mented by the purchase of European
state funds or other foreign obligations
which will place the Old World in debt
to the United States, so much the better.
r. New York Sun.
But the war does not forgive us our
debts The only way we can get out of
them Is the same way that is open to
us in time of peace, by keping our enter
prises within the scope of our own
capacity to finance them We should be
doing that to-day if paid, or if we
thought it paid. Our nation is in this
respect like an individual who can do
large business as heavy borrower, or
moderate business on his own resources.
1t is probable that general European
war would have on us just the effect
which the Sun points out: Europeans
would have so much less to lend to us
that we should have to get along here
on our own resources. Interest rates
would compel it, but these would prove
a corresponding encouragement of new
like increased railroad mile
age. But this would not be desirable. IL
is the part of the young and the growing
to borrow. as it is for the older and bet
Ter established TO lend. Shutting off
foreign capital would not, per Sc, in
.rease our own, at least in any proper
ions commensurate with the loss.--Bos-

Senator Dillingham's Record.

The letter from Sen. Dillingham; Ia
~. A. Rowland regarding the charge OF
| Hon. G. A. Prouty that he had opposed
railroad regulation in behalf of the in
terests is published In full elsewhere be-
cause it so completely refntes the
charge. Sen. Dillingham's record shows
that since he has been a member of the
Senate four steps in railroad regulation
have been asked for. They are:
The Elkins law, which made common
carriers subject to regulations by the
interstate commerce commission, forbade
rebating in any form, gave the courts
power to enforce the orders of the com
mission and provided for the compulsory
attendance of witnesses.
The Hepburn law, which gave the
commission power to fix rates and sus.
pend any rates found to be discrimina-
tory or unjust
The Mann. Elkins law, which estab-
lished the United States court OF com
merce, body created especially to ex-
pedite the hearings and enforcement of
decisions by the interstate commerce
commission, extended the jurisdiction of
the commission and ordered an inves.
tigation OF the issuance of railroad
stocks and bonds preliminary to action
by Congress on that subject.
The physical valuation Of railroads.
an act demanded by some for some time
but something the practical value Of
which is still in question If the valua
tion can he made in time to be OF use
in determining the value of the road
well and good, but if it is found that
the physical valuation cannot be deter
mined until several years after the value
is demanded its usefulness will be great
ly hampered.
So complete has been the action on
railroad regulation that Mr.. Prouty him
self says: Taking the state and nation
together, there is danger of too much |
rather than too little railroad lerisla- !
ton" In considering the remedy OF |
evils that appear in industrial life it |
must be remembered that the evils are |
constantly presenting themselves in new
forms, in unexpected ways. That is the |
only way they exist, by adopting new

what It seemed when he said he "would

ator. He writes;
II have not the report before me but
in substance was made to say, I would
not accept noc1ination from the Re-

exact words reported, but the thought
in my mind was not that which these
words taken by themselves would con-
vey.
"I had declined TO leave the Republ-
can party and to accept nomination as
a Progressive. / had. however, stated
that | would stand as non-partisan,
and as such ! should for this particular
purpose represent no political party.
just as | had refused to declare myself
a Progressive for the purpose of obtain
ing that nomination, so I would not So
lieit or accept nomination as a Repub
lican. I would stand entirely impartial
to the liberal and progressive
of all parties alike. This seems TO me
the only position which ! could take and
this was what tried to say to that
gathering. OF course I am especially
