MOTORCYCLE UP MT. TOM.
Daring Feat Accomplished by NJ. R.
Griswold, Overcoming Obstacles.

\ motorcycle trip to the summit of
Mt. Tom, overlooking Holyoke, Mass.
at LOO feet above sea level, a daring
feat never before attempted by a motor
vehicle, was accomplished Oct. 81 by
Nj. X. Grisw0ld, riding one of the 1918
Indian three-speed twins. Leaving the
pavilion at Mountain park, the plucky
motoreychst struggled with logs, fallen
trees, bOulders and other obstacles
before he reached the cable ear station
at the top, few hundred yards from
the Summit House, and beyond which
1t was not possible to ride ewing TO
barriers formed by the board walk CON
Meeting tine two elevated structures.
This is the first time Mt. Tom ever
has been climbed by any kind of motor
vehicle other than the cable ears. In
fact no conveyance of other sort has
been up the mountain since horse and
wagon struggled to the top II years
ago. The inclined railroad is one mile
IN length and has a % per cent grade
at It's steepest point. The distractions
and detOurs which Griswold encounter
ell forced him to travel two and one
fourth miles going up, while calcula-
lions at several steep places showed
gradients of %, - and 30 per cent.
respectively.
Many times after riding but few
yards, the machine would be stalled by
fallen tree or big boulder, while often
the rear wheel would spin on the rocks
and the machine remain stationary.
through lack of traction.
The descent was far more dangerous.
| With all brakes set. Griswold rode most
/ Of the way down, but at the steepest
places was forced TO dismount and drag
his body to hold the machine back By
10 means the least dangerous part of
the trip was the start and finish from
Mountain park, where for several hun
dred feet the daring rider followed the
railroad on the edge of 30-foot bluff
with no protecting fence, riding this
stretch calmlv in the dusk which en-
veloped him at the finish.

That State House Grab.
[ Rutland Herald.l

The people of the state voted down
this 100000 Montpelier grab and the
legislature must do likewise if it
would keep faith. Progressive and
Democratic speakers on the stump ac-
eused the Republican party and the Re
publican governor elect of being ac-

is up to the party and the governor
to see that the law is repealed. The
merits of more space for statehouse
offices does not enter into the question
and should not be considered That
may come up as a new measure. The
people, however, have demanded by
their votes that this 100000 appro-
Priation should not be made. The
Legislature must repeal it or stand con
Vlcted OF being party to one of the
most oblique pieces of jokerism which
recent legislative history has ever
witnessed.

A Curious Sidehght'' on Simonsville
Tragedy.
{ Windsor JouruaI.1

In the unpublished part of the story
of the double tragedy at Simonsyille
there is the ancient and bitter lesson
that it does not pay. in the long run,
to 90 galhvanting after other men s
wives or other women S husbands :
however inocent or wcll-intentioned
the attentions may be. Questions of
right and wrong aside, this never has
paid in civilized and dccorous com
munities and public opinion is today
less tolerant of it than ever. The things
in Naboti 's-vineyard are Naboth s. and
1T sometimes happens that Naboth him,
self makes fierce objection to tres,
passers.

The football year will reach its
elimination Saturday, when the great
Yale bowl, seating 10000 people, will
be dedicated in the annual game be
tween Yale and Harvard Both of
these teams have beaten Princeton, and
the struggle will have all of the OPP
portunities and uncertainties of two
well-matched elevens. Dartmouth will
close its season at the same time by
playing against Syracuse university in
the Harvard stadium. The football ex-
perts will have hard time in deciding
the ratings of the football teams this
year. Washington and Jefferson, lit
tie college in Pennsylvania with less
than 400 students, defeated Yale and
outplayed Harvard although losing
the game in the last few minutes of

NOVEMBER IS, 1914.
THE NEXT CONGRESS.

With their slender majority in the
next national House of Representatives
the Democrats, while able to re-elect
Speaker Clark and retain control of
committees, will be forced to maintain
an almost perfect organization. Even
with full attendance in the House,
Il shift of twelve votes would throw
the control to the minority side. This
narrow margin probably will result in
a Encouragement of committee represen-
tation, the Democrats now holding
overwhelming majorities in all of the
standing committees. The falling off
of the Progressives from nineteen in
the present House to seven probably
will cut down their committee repre-
sentation materially and even may lose
them the few important places they
hold in the present House.
Democratic leadership in the House
will undergo great changes. Repre-
sentative Underwood was elected to the
Senate and will leave the House at
the close of the December session.
Representative kitchin of North Caro-
lima, the ranking Democrat on the
ways and means committee, will claim
the Democratic leadership by right Of
seniority, and is expected to have the
support of Southern Democrats and un-
less Northerners show more backbone
than has been the ease of late he
will be the choice.
Representative Mann of Illinois UNI
doubtedly will retain the Republican
leadership, facing the Democrats with
formidable support, His ranks will in
clude, beside former Speaker Cannon,
numerous other Republicans who recap
tured the places they lost in the 1912
campaign Not by factious opposition
but by taking well considered posi-
tions, possibly of protest and possibly
not, the Republicans can lay good
foundations for the work of the future
majority which 1916 will give them.

One firm in Barton will ship POO car
loads of Christmas trees to the city mar
kets. The trade from this one town alone
means the destruction of 100, 900 spruces
and balsams. Big shipments are also be-
ing made from other parts of the state,
noticably on the Rutland railroad between
Bellows Falls and Rutland 1t seems a
pity to have this destruction going ON at
a time when the state forestry depart
ment is striving to bring about scientific
growing of trees on various tracts, but
there is probably no way for state control
to be exercised over the growing timber

tracts Individually owned Thousands OF
Christmas trees could be cut yearly with
out doing any damage, simply by making
selections here and there and giving the
trees that are left standing a better
chance to grow, but too often the hin
sides are slashed right and left, and the
young trees are not only destroyed, but
the dead stumps and lower limbs are left
as fire menace, and the tracts from
which the trees are taken will remain
worthless for generations.

Many boys balk at the idea Of going to
college even when the easy path is opened
for them by their parents Perhaps in
some cases it Is gust as well, for there are
lads who have no aptitude for study but
are good workers in other lines and win
make useful citizens with their activities
rightly directed after their high school
days, 1t is an encouraging sign, however,
to see the percentage of boys and girls
gong to the higher institutions each year
steadily growing. One reason for the
change probably comes from the fact that
the heads of our secondary schools today
are mostly college graduates and they
naturally encourage the pupils to strive
for something beyond the advantages of
the public schools. twenty-five years
ago but little was said in the school room
or elsewhere to the pupils about trying
for a collegiate education. Any boy or
girl today who has the ambition, the men
tai endowment and the willingness to
work can obtain the benefits of college
training. Brown university has recently
issued an interesting statement to show
the large proportion of students who are
dependent on self-help. According to
Dean Randall nearly one-half of all the
students in the university are earning
some of the money needed to put them
through college. One hundred and nine
men, in fact, are paying their own way
entirely. in this connection it might be
mentioned that the university, by giving
26S scholarships, is doing its share to aid
the needy men to support themselves
