When They Vote Wet.

Vergennes, Montpelier and Waterbury,
all of which towns voted license on
March meeting day by narrow margins,
have fought the second round in the at
tempt to limit the sale of intoxicants to
malt liquors; that is, beer and ale. In
each case the attempt has failed ard
sale of all beverages has been author
lied. The outcome has been the same in
past years and in all places where it has
been tried. Once license carries, there is
no limiting it to the lighter drinks. At
first thought it would seem natural that
when a town goes wet by a few votes
there would be enough license men who
believe in the sale of malts only to unite
with the drys and beat out the hard
stuff crowd. But it does not work that
way. When license is once voted at the
March meeting the voters feel that it
ought to go along on that basis and look
upon any limitation as a move by the
ants to rob them of the spoils So they
stand solidly against it, together with
some who wanted to vote license in the
first place but didn't dare to because
they didn't believe it would carry. And
then there is always a big detection
from the dry column OF men who want
to see license made as obnoxious as pos
sible if it is to be at all, to the end that
it shall be thoroughly repudiated next
time. So they vote at the second meet
ing for the sale of hard stuff. We
don't recall single instance since the
law went into effect eleven years ago
where town once voting license in
March has limited the sale to malt
liquors at subsequent meeting. IT is
effort wasted to try it.-Randolph Her

The crop returns for the period from
1890 to 1909 indicate that the states oil
the western section of the United States
are going ahead in leaps and bounds as
regards agricultural development. The
first nine states showing the greatest
percentage of increase in crops during
that period were states of the far West
or middle West, being headed by Idaho,
whose increase was the remarkable per-
centage of 2707. OF course, much OF
these redoubled returns is due to the
fact that comparatively new land is be-
ing worked and is producing greater
crops because the soil has not been i'm
poverished by constant tilling for years;
but, at the same time, it seems likely
that the westerners are going about their
farming operations in more scientific
manner than are their fellow farmers in
the eastern section of the country. The
latter will be distanced if they do not
take up with the best methods and oper-
ate them assiduously.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Thompsonian Latest.

The moves on the senatorial checker
board grow interesting. The state or
ganization of the Progressives discredits
and deposes Director Thompson--the lat
ter thereupon interviews Hon. Charles
A. Prouty and gets his consent to run as
a candidate for the senatorship on the
Progressive ticket, if that party decides
it wants him--the non-partisan club up
there in Orleans county is working over
time to generate Prouty sentiment in
other sections of the state. Verify these
be lively days politically for staid old
Vermont; and it doth not yet appear
whether this last move is an attempt on
the part of a deposed leader to recapture
the good graces of his rebellious party,
or whether it indicates an easy adapta-
tion on the part of Mr.. Prouty to the
latest Thompsonian mood, which, under
existing conditions, can hardly be regard
ed as reliable barometer as to the
weight or pressure of the atmosphere in
the camp of Vermont Progressiyes.--

A Better Attitude Toward Railroads
Needed.

And in speaking of railroads, isn't it a
| fact that what we need here in Vermont
more than anything else to build up the
state is better railroad facilities. We
need cross-state railroad from Rutland
through Montpelier and on to Newport.
But we win never get it with the atti-
tude that we are taking toward the rail-
roads at the present time. Some people
seem to think that all railroads are big
money makers and that it is right to
SOAK them. Now the writer never
rode on a free pass and never received a
special favor of any kind from a rail-
road, so he claims to be unprejudiced,
but when we tax a railroad for more
than it sold for three years ago, or
place the valuation on another road for
a sum greater than that at which the
state could acquire it under its charter,
we are going too far. Here in Brattle-
boro where the town freely co-operated
with the railroads, we are securing some
notable improvements, but we shall
never get cross-state railroad or any
great improvements in railroads, or bet
ter passenger or freight service, until
we encourage the railroads little in
stead of trying to force them to the
limit.-Brattleboro Phoenix.

Congressman Greene,s Good Work.

Our readers cannot have failed to note
that while there is a scramble of all
parties in the second district where nc
single candidate thus far has doomed
large over all other aspirants for Con.
gress to succeed Congressman Plumley
who has resigned after splendid career
in the House, nobody representing any
political party whatsoever has ventured
to enter the congressional lists in the
first district in opposition to Congress
man Greene.
This gratifying situation is easily un-
derstood. 1t is to be noted in the first
insurrectionist against the old order OF
things in the Republican party and a
genuine progressive long before anybody
dreamed of a separate party trying to
appropriate this name. He was fighting
inside the party lines for the very
things many went out of the party to
try to secure. Under these eircum-
stances it is easy to understand why the
progressive Morrisville Messenger should
utter these sentiments regarding Con-
gresham Greene:
reasons to be proud of the standing that
our congressman, Frank L. Greene, is
gaining. II is very rare that any new
member attains the popularity with the
speaker and his fellow members that our
congressman has thus early won. He
is very diligent worker and puts in
from ~ to Is hours day, as he per-
sonally looks after much of his CORE
spondence that other members leave to
their secretaries. He has no conceited
idea of his place but frankly says he is
the servant OF the people of his district
and desires to so labor as to merit their
appreciation"
These things and many other good
things about Congressman Greene being
so, he would be bold progressive who
would enter the lists against him ex-
pecting TO make much Roadway except
possibly on a mere partizan cry, and
this one cry would do more at this par
ticular time OF -partisanship in Yer
mont to defeat the man making it than
almost any other step that could be TAX

been in the House. His military stud
les and experience and tastes at once
gave him standing on the House commit
tee on military affairs as well as in
army circles, as his presence at various
prominent military gatherings has
abundantly attested. Our people have
already seen the extent of his service
in taking the initiative to secure the
students military instruction camp for
Burlington. He has been thoroughly
alive in helping to push the improve
ment of the Narrows at the head OF
Lake Champlain in order that Vermont
might profit from the development OF
the Chsmplain waterway. He has been
a deep student of the vast problems in
volved in the struggle over the SOW
of the Panama canal incident
to the mere question of toll exemption,
and history will unquestionably show
that he had international law as we'll

! safely enthroned in office, its tariff bill
put into operation, and its activities
against the trusts at fever heat.
1t is now four years since the Amer.
can people went out on strike against
the high cost of living. They began by
eIecting Mr.. Foss to Congress in this
state in 1910, and then they elected a
Democratic house, and finally a complete
Democratic administration. Still the
rising cost of living has felt no material
check. What does this mean? Solely
that the people have been barking up
the wrong tree. They thought the tariff
the great factor. 1t is not. At least
other elements in the cost of living are
vastly more important.
The coal dealers explain where some
part of the increase comes in. Pennsyl-
yania has imposed new state tax on
the output of her mines. The miners
and stevedores and bargemen and coal
wagon drivers are all having successive
increases in wages in this and other
states. The laws of Pennsylvania, and
of our own state, providing working
mems compensation and other humani-
tartan devices, inevitably increase the
expense of doing business. Taxation,
local and general, is pressing with
steady accommodating weight on every
industry.
The coal dealers are taking their part
of it out of their customers. The hotel

SERIOUS VOCATIONAL TRAINING
Experiment at Fitchburg, Mass, Is
Worth While.

Real industrial training that prepares
for real jobs is described in bulletin
on the cooperative plan at Fitchburg
Mass, issued by the United States
bureau of education. Boys in the Fitch
burg high school, who attend alternate
weeks in school and shop. are made 10
feel that their vocational training is
serious business. Here are some of the
directions given to such Coop student
when he starts as an apprentice.
Remember that the object of work
is production. Your foreman measures
you by the quantity and quality of your
work Social position does not enter.
In the shop you are not a high school
boy, you are an apprentice Wear clothes
accordingly. If You get the mistaken
idea that any work given you is be-
meath the dignity OF high school boy,
just remember you are an apprentice
and get 100 per cent busy.
1t is your business to get along
smoothly with the workmen and fore
man; and theirs to get along with you.
''Do not expect any personal attention
from the superintendent He will
probably ignole you entirely, but he
good, and in most cases. his idea depends
upon your ability to please your fore
man. Don't be kicker and don't con-
tinually bother your foreman for higher
wage.
''Neyer try to conceal defective work.
Take your full measure of blame, and
do not make the same mistake twice.
Watch, in quiet way. what things
are being done around you and don't be
afraid to ask sensible questions A
good rule is to think over q question
twice before asking. A reputation for
having horse sense means that you are
making good.
"Foremen and workmen will take
pleasure in showing you, if you show
yourself genuinely appreciative of little
attentions. If they tell you something
you already knew, don't spoil their
pleasure by telling them you already
know it, but let it be impressed on
your mind all the deeper; for the con-
versation may lead to something which
is entirely new to you.
"The fool act of one coop hurts every
coop. See that your actions in and
out OF the shop do not bring discredit
on the coop course"
Representatives of the United States
bureau of education and Others who
have observed the work say that the
spirit of these directions is carried out
everywhere in the Fitchburg plan. Voca
tional training OF the Fitchburg type is
an opportunity for worthwhile work,
not an easy way of lodging the grind of
academic studies.

PRoMIscUoUs GIVING IN BARRE.

PROMISCUOUS GIVING IN BARRE.
Now and then organizations and COM
panies are compelled in lf-defense and
in defense of the general public also to
deny any responsibility or connection
with persons who go about soliciting
funds supposedly in behalf of the organ
izations and companies. In Springfield,
Mass, there is an instance of this sort,
the Y. NJ. G. A. college being so har-
raised that it finally announced through
the columns of the press of that city
that it has no agents out soliciting funds
and that it has no connection with the
person who has been collecting money
in Springfield and giving no returns for
the money, as he promised.
The illustration in Springfield is typi-
cal of the system worked in any part of
the country where people are credulous
enough to believe the slick or sorrowful
stories whichever may seem likely to
the solicitor to appeal most strongly to
the person approached that may be put
up to them any day of the week. Here
in Barre there is a growing nuisance of
this sort, and it must be that the solic-
itors meet with good success, else they
would not come to Barre to milk" the
community. Strangers of many races
and colors but all with peculiar art
of responsiveness come into Barre and
put forth plea for funds for this and
that object Of charity, for spreading the
gospel in some far-off land, for lifting
the mortgage on a farm out in Saskateh-
evan or the Fiji islands, for any pur-
pose that might be imagined. They pre-
sent no credentials. They give no refer
ences. They offer no receipt land it is
doubtful whether a receipt would be of
any WORTH. They have nothing but a
doleful look and begrimmed book of
signatures to back up their cause. Yet
they find suckers. We have seen names
on the books which are rarely, if ever.
oSth Oi buDcCilptlOu DUOks LOT local cudr-
tiles or good works. The wonder is how
these strangers with their uncorroborat-
ed tales can hook these persons who
draw their purse strings tight when
real case of local charity or good works
appeals to them; but somehow they do
it-and the strangers walk off with the
ready coin of the realm and nobody here
any the wiser as to where the money
goes.
1t is barely possible that some of the
solicitors who come to Barre are honest
people and represent good cause but
how is one to distinguish between the
honest and the sharpers when the strang-
ers present no credentials and offer no
convincing proof that their soliciting is
honestly backed up2 We venture to say
that where there is one honest solicitor
there are five dishonest ones; and the
money that Barre people deliver over with
such implicit confidence to the latter
goes to make a Roman holiday some
where as the collectors chuckle and grin

The Price of Coal.

In April coal is usually cheap. The
miners and the carriers, to preserve an
evenness of output, encourage the fore
handed householder to buy his coal in
the spring and early summer, by making
to him a concession in price. And before
the month is over this year, coal will
undoubtedly be lower, but probably not
so low as last year.
The New York coal dealers have de-
cided to add 25 cents a ton to last
Aprils price. Boston dealers are likely
to follow suit If this is done, coal will
be another commodity TO reach a new
high level, after an administration elect
ed to reduce the cost OF living has been

The credit of the Maine Central ad-
iunct of the Boston g. Maine railroad
was not so poor, nor the money market
so weak, as to prevent the former rail
road from raising S6,000,000 for meet

cheney of the transportation system. On
the whole, therefore, the situation ought
to be rather satisfactory to the railroad
interests of the entire country as indica-
