The money-making campaign of the
Home for Destitute Children, Burling-
ton. has been brought to a very
successful close. On Dec. 81. the
trustees of the permanent fund of the
Home for Destitute Children were able
to certify to Mrs. Fletcher D. Proctor
and her daughters that the sum of
$25, 900, required to meet their condi-
tlonal offer of an equal amount, had
been raised. This means that the
home will be in a very much better
condition to do it's good work, which
had become increasingly expensive by
reason of the higher costs of necessi
ties. 1t will also be able to extend
somewhat the scope of it's work. The
offer of $685. 900 for a Proctor fund. to
be given on condition like sum was
raised by Jan. l, 1914, was made by

Owing to the depression of business,

obliged to curtail it's passenger train
service, and several trains were dis
continued Sunday
Last year was not kind to Burlington
as regards fires and. with "a alarms,
the loss will probably reach close to
$500, 600. which is the largest amount
to be lost in ten years.

furnished bail of $4,000 pending a
preliminary hearing on charge of

furnished in building schoolhouses in
Hartford several years ago.
The old hotel property in Bartons-
vile was destroyed by fire one evening

The family was asleep when the fire
was discovered. Absolutely nothing
was saved. All the postoffice fixtures
and mail were also destroyed.

and a small sum of money were found
on his person. The authorities will
investigate the case.

The Monitors mention of the
Community church" in Glover is
creating no little interest outside this
immediate vicinity. The Burlington
Daily News quotes literally from the
article and in mentioning the "Glover
church" says:
The town of Glover, in Orleans
county, seems to have solved the rural
church problem-if indeed it is really
a problem-in a highly satisfactory
way.
This is certainly most encouraging
report. Are there not many other
communities in Vermont where a
similar plan can be successfully carried
out?

TERMS
THE TELEPHONE MOVE


awfully touchy about the telephone
question. In speaking of the recent
announcement that the American
Telephone company would sell the
Western Union Telegraph company.
the Monitor stated that apparently an
investigation was not invited by the
telephone people, The Messenger
jumped at the straw and said:
Why not be as big as Mr.. Wilson
and give the telephone company the
credit of acting from a desire to
conform with the law? The President
accepted the statement of Mr.. Vail at
it's face value; and it is generally so
accepted throughout the country. And
there is reason that 1T be so accepted
for the government officials admit that
Mr.. Vail has granted more than could
be obtained in the courts under the
law. Why an insinuation that the
company was afraid? Why desire to
stir@up an unreasonable feeling against
business? Nothing is to be gained and
much harm will result. Take off the
spectacles of prejudice and look at
things with an impartial eye. Be
constructive, not destructive. Or do
you want to return to Rosseau's
natural state?
AS to our "insinuation" that the
company was afraid. as the Messenger
puts it, it is merely statement OF
fact that the company had rather
dissolve than stand investigation. The
Messenger itself says the telephone
company should be credited with
"acting from desire to conform with
the law" which statement itself
infers that the company had not here
tofore conformed with the law. We
have no desire to stir up feeling
against business. The feeling against
monopoly" however, has been
stirred up for years and this feeling is
undoubtedly the reason that the tele-
phone company prefers dissolution to
the antagonism of the public-investi-
cation in other words. Mr.. Vail is a
wise man and in many ways man to
whom the public is indebted, man
whose business insight reads the public
temperament in advance of lesser
business geniuses, and in this instance
he has seen that it is wiser to make
certain concessions than to have the
affairs of his great monopoly thrown
open to investigation. His lead. it is
announced, is to be followed by severa
heads of other gigantic concerns. ano
while his course is probably better fol
the country than expensive and long
drawn out Investigations which cannot
always determine the true conditions
of affairs and even it they could, FIND
insufficient law to regulate and control
satisfactorily these monopolies, the
fact remains nevertheless that such
CORPORATIONS do not invite investiga.
lions and like the telephone people.
prefer an amiable disposition of their
questionable business affairs. Devel-
opments in the governments suits in
the western states against the tele-
phone monopoly, developments in the
Investigations in Maryland. New York,
Vermont and other places, and the two
column advertising carried recently by
Mr.. Wallis company in Vermont and
other papers coming to the defense of
his company's action, and explaining
carefully how its relations to the
people were and always had been
mutual" all point to one conclu-
sion: That thorough investigation of
this great monopoly's affairs is not
invited.

VALUE OF RHEUMA
FROM THE COURT

Judge Barhorst was Relieved of
Rheumatism afterDoctors Failed
If you have tried many other reme-
dies and doctors treatments for
Rheumatism and found they failed,
do not be skeptical about trying
RBEUMA. Read the testimony Of
Judge John Barhorst of Fort Laramie,
O.:
s'After treatment by three doctors
without result, have been cured of
a very bad caee of Rheumatism by
using two bottles of RHEUMA. It is
now two Years since used the RENE :

The new Progressive paper is to
appear soon. A. F. Stone of ST.
Johnsbury will be the editor of The
Advance. Mr.. Stone by education,
training, and ancestral traditions is a
newspaper man and an editor of
ability. The first year of the enter
prise is almost an assured success.
Whether it lives longer or not depends
upon the merits of the paper and the
enthusiasm left in the Progressive
party.
