Afro-Americans all over the country
ought to continue to protest to Presi.

segregation of Afro-Americans in the
public service.
THE APPEAL suggests that Editor
Trotter of the Boston Guardian get up
another protest against segregation on

make a small contribution to aid in
the matter.

The Reason Why.
(Afro-American Ledger.)

One of the reasons why the South
is in its present backward condition
Is because the white people of the
South pay more attention to trying to
keep the Afro-American in "his place."
Whatever that may be, instead of try
Ing to make progress and have the
colored man to assist him in doing
so. We are creditably Informed that
Wilmington, N. c., has been falling
back in the race ever since that riot
took place which drove from it a large
element of it's very best and most
progressive colored people. It has
lost its standing as the first city of
the old Tar Heel State, and is COM
PEELED to take second or even third
place.

Our state expenses for the fiscal
year 1914 were $1,955,33l.
In 1904, ten years ago, they were
$747 ,575.
This is an increase of 81 ,2O7,756 in
ten years.
Furthermore, of the taxes collected
to meet this extravagant expenditure
the largest single item was $623, 683
collected of the savings banks and
trust companies, most of which is a tax
on the industry and thrift of our PEG
ple There was $54S,312 collected of
the railroads, all of which the people
of Vermont will have to pay ultimate
ly. Other taxes bring the grand total
up to 81, 456,7O6, which is primarily
collected of various public service cor
porations, but which must in the last
analysis be paid by the people.
Expenses of 81 ,955,33 and taxes col
lected of the people through the medi
UNI of the corporation tax amounting
to ST ,456, 700, makes total of $3,412,
I031 to be wrung from the thrifty toll
ers of Vermont in this fiscal year.
Everything indicates q gigantic rait
on the legislature at its coming session
by all the old benefciaries and som,
new ones. Can the people depend upoT
their lawmakers to display Wis
discrimination in making their appro
priations?

RAISE SALMON HERE.

Humpback salmon from the Pacific
are being placed in Maine waters in
the hope that they may again breed
there as they once did. 1t seems sur
prising that, with all its large activ
tiles, the bureau of fisheries has not
earlier made this experiment on 4
scale large enough to determine
whether it can succeed. The rivers
along the Atlantic coast were original
breeding places for these valuable
fish, though they never swarmed here
in such vast numbers as on the Pa
cifc coast They formerly went far
up the Connecticut and even up the st.
Lawrence and Richelieu rivers to Lake
.Champlain. They continue to breed in
the waters of Canada and Labrador,
and " Kennebec salmon is occasional
ly seen on bill of fare; but with the
exception of few taken each year
from the Penobscot they have almost
entirely disappeared from eastern
American streams. The reason for this
is not we'll understood. Conditions in
many inland lakes and steams have
changed so materially that the native
trout no longer thrive there and west
ern varieties have replaced them. But
the conditions of coastal waters have
changed to no such extent Some riy
ers have been INSTRUCTED so that they
can no longer reach their spawning
grounds, but even in those which per
nit free access the salmon have become
extinct. The salmon is desirable al
game, valuable as food. To .re-establisl
it in eastern waters would be of a
great Importance as to cultivate. tn
eastern lobster in the Pacific. The ex
pertinent will be of interest to sports
men, epicures and economists. ..

Growing Old.

A little more tired at the close of dav.
A little less anxious to have our way;
A little less anxious to scold and
blame,
A little more care for a brother 5
name;
And so we are nearing the journeys
end,
Where time and eternity meet and
blend.
A little less care for bonds of gold,
little more zest for the days of old,
A broader view and saner mind,
And a little more love for all man
kind;
And so we are faring down the way
That leads to the gates of a better
day.
A little more love for the friends of
youth,
a little more zeal for established truth ;
little more charity in our views,
little less thirst for the daily news
And so we are folding our tents away
And passing in silence at close of day.
A little more leisure to sit and dream,
A little more real the things unseen;
little nearer to those ahead,
With visions of those long loved and
dead;
And so we are going where All must go
To the place the living may never
know.
A little more laughter, few more
| tears,
| And we shall have told our increasing
years.
| The book is closed, and the PRAYERS
are said,
| And we are part of the countless dead
Thrice happy, then, if some soul can
say,
I''I live because he has passed my way

THRoNe OF BUYERS CONTINUE.
Special Half Price Brings Many Pat

The people of Brattleboro and vicini-

DIR. Howard Co. to allow the regular so
cent size of DR.. Howard 5 specific, for
the cure of constipation and dyspepsia,
to be sold at half price, 25 cents, and
have bought hundreds of bottles.
Unlike ordinary medicines for con
stipation and dyspepsia, the dose of
Dr.. Howard s specific is reduced after
few days use, and the cure is soon
complete and lasting.
If you have not already taken advan-
tage of this chance to get a month 5
medical treatment for p cents, be sure
to call at Mr.. Root s today, for he has
only a small amount of the specific on
