The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-06-20

One of the most frank men in the
newspaper business, or any other, is Mr.
Munsey, who owns string of newspa.
pers and who is constantly trying out
new fields. He now announces that his
evening paper in Philadelphia will be
suspended because it never passed the
experimental stage and because there Is
no evidence in sight that it would pass
such stage. In connection Herewith,
Mr.. Munsey makes the assertion that
"every undertaking is an experiment un-
til it crystallizes into success" and
Not every experiment is born to sue
ceed." His evening newspaper in Phil
adelphia wasn't born to succeed, in his
opinion, and he doesn't propose to con-
tinue the experiment any longer. There
fore, where other newspaper publishers
would be loath to let go, Mr.. Munsey
drops a proposition and closes shop, to
enter another field perhaps. Such action
is not a tacit admission that he is licked,
but it is an indication that he is wise in
the business.

INEFFECTIVE FOG SIGNALS.

Still another collision between great
steamers during dense fog this time of
the coast of England, comes in quick
succession after the sinking of the En-
press of Ireland in the st. Lawrence
and the crash between the liners New
York and Pretoria off the east coast of
the United States. These three occur
rences should be sufficient incentive to
stir marine circles into an imperative
demand for revised fog signals if there
is possible chance of improvement. It
is evident that there is much to be de-
sired along the line of safety for the
hundreds and thousands of people aboard
each ship; but whether it is possible to
meet that desire with an improved sys-
tenn of signaling is yet to be determined.
In any event the course to pursue, it
would seem, is to make an attempt to
revise the rules of the sea and then to
demand enforcement of those rules TO
the strictest Interpretation, not allowing
each individual ship>captain license and
liberty to do as his Judgment seems to
dictate or the exigency of the situation
appears to demand. Recent events have
proven that individual Judgment of cap
tains is very fallible, indeed.

DIED OF HEART TROUBLE.
John T. Morrison Well Known Rut
land County Farmer.

Rutland June 2o.--Having arisen in as
good health as usual, apparently made
trip into Rutland and breakfasted
upon reaching home, John 7. Morrison,
who lived on the Grove street road about
three miles north of this city, died in
sudden attack of heart disease at
1885 o'clock yesterday morning at the
house. Mr.. Morrison had just finished
breakfast when he was seized with the
attack similar TO Others from which he
had at times suffered. DIR. Ray E.
Smith, who was called at once arrived
in few minutes but efforts to revive
the sick man were unavailing and he
passed away very soon afterward.
Mr.. Morrison was AS years old. He
leaves his wife, three sisters, Mrs. T..
w. Colomb and Miss Mary Ann Morri-
son of Rutland and Mrs. Robert Hardy
of Ausable Forks, n. Y, and one broth
Ter, William Morrison of Troy, n, H. Mr..
Morrison is also survived by an adopted
daughter, Mrs. Frank Phalen of this
city
Mr.. Morrison had been in this vicin-
ity about 2s years and had spent near
~ all of that time on the farm where
he died. He was a member of the Rut-
land organization of the Loyal Order of
Moose.

TIPPING ON PULLMAN CARS.

The company which operates the sleep
ing-car privilege throughout the CONT
nent asserts that it is impossible to stop
tipping of porters on the cars. The way
to stop it is to pay the porters rea-
sonable stipend for well.defned duties,
to make them perform those duties with
out favor to any passenger and finally
to forbid those porters to receive extra
remuneration from any passengers. As
the Springfield Mass Republican points
out, the service on a sleeping car is not
such as to require any different treat
ment among passengers-all deserve to
be treated alike and the company should
see to it that no favoritism is shown In
anticipation of reward or in return for
reward already given. One of the most
difficult of the courses toward elimina-
ton of tipping will devolve on the COM
pany to force the porters to give impair
tial treatment to all the passengers
aboard their cars, so prone are those
personages to be hayward in the mat
ter, not to say negligent of their duties.
When the Pullman company does its part,
it will find the travelling public ready to
meet it half way and to refuse to grant
tips.

When the Vermont diocesan conven.
tion at Middlebury adopted resolution
condemning the divorce evil, possibly it
had not heard of the action of one of
the rectors in its denomination in Penn
sylvania, who had just sued for divorce;
but even if the information had been at
hand the convention undoubtedly would
have taken the same stand inasmuch as
the divorce evil both inside and outside
of the church has come to an alarming
state. Such an opinion is held by prac,
tically everyone, even the litigants in
cases of that nature.

Theodore Roosevelt ought to be care
full of that throat; there is a chance to
do himself permanent injury through
negleetful and harsh treatment of it
Roosevelt has latterly found that he is
not man of iron or steel but just plain
flesh and bones like the rest of us and
incapable of withstanding the rigors into
which he would like to rush. He learned
valuable lesson along that line while
recently in the South American wilds.

The prompt confirmation of the APP

his predecessor not more than two

Better Than IncineratiOn, Say
Junketers, Home From Tour

Commissioner Fenkell, OF the de-
partment OF public works. and the par
ty OF junketing aldermen, returned.
Monday, from a weeks trip that in
cluded Boston, New York, Cleveland
ana Columbus, o. The officials gath
cred data on garbage reduction plants.
and also took in few choice shows
While in the east.
The aldermen accompanying Com
missioner Fenkell are all OF the opin-
ion now that reduction is a better
method than incineration for garbage
disposal. The city viii shortly build
a reduction plant.
I'VE found that reduction plants
were being successfully operated In
the cities we visited" said Commits
sioner Fenkell. THE Boston plant Is
privately owned. II has been In oper-
alton about two years. and Is return
ing a profit. The plants In Cleveland
and Columbus are both owned and op.
Grated by the city. and they are more
than paying the expense OF mainte-
nance. We will build plant about
the size of the one we saw In Cleve-
land, only our plant will be better
one"
Before the junketers left, Commits
sioner Fenkall supplied each with O
little red book in which TO keep ex.
pense accounts. Aid. Sherman Little
field and Aid. Maurice Heating report
ed that they lost their books. Com
missioner Fenkell confessed that he
would have to do few problems In
higher mathematics before his would
be In shape to turn In his expense
account. The officials were each CIV
ell 1920 by the city for the trip. AID
Charles w. Burton said the trip cost
him at least s75 more than the city
allowed him, but he said he is not
kicking While in Boston and New
York, Aid Burton studied the sub
ways. He is firmly convinced that a
subway In Woodwardave. is the only
solution OF Detroit's traffic problem.

east. All the members OF the party
voted the junket great success.

night ago, whether Austria woalu
break with uermany and offer 10
negotiate a separate peace as soon
as she had conquered the Serbs.
instead OF this, the Servians
seen-to have turned the tables on
the Austrians In way 10 bring
Germany's growing impotence or
Austris's military ability to a pub
lie climax. The Servians have &C
complished the most remarkable
small scale feat OF the war. How
they have done SO is unknown.
Austria may have withdrawn a
large part of her forces from Ser
via, believing the Servians could
not return to the Offensive; or
the Austrian northern (Belgrade)
and western (Valjevo) armies
may have become separated, per
hitting the Seryians TO concen-
trate all their strength against
the enemy's weakened western
wing
Coming at the same time as the
Servian defeat, the public rebuke
OF Germany has, doubtless. by
now, formed the subject OF a
sharp exchange of kilograms b.
tween Vienna and Berlin. The
Germans probably have adopted
SO very unusual proceeding In
order TO inject greater ardor and
persistence into the Austrians.
This is. however. dangerous
game 20 play internationally, for
rancor invariably remains. For
the first time since hostilities be-
gan. the present episode makes
public the fact that war alliances
do not always work we'll when
one of the allies is considered by

more singing rebuke is contained
In the statement that the Aus

been captured, but they fail to

the report meaningless"
Such declarations as these made
by the German Official press
bureau concerning Germany's
ally, are indicative OF disgust In
Berlin at Austria's utilities.
The immediate cause OF the
German outburst is probably the
collapse OF Austria's offence in
Servia. There Is much mystery
about Servie's counter-offensive,
which is now so successfully de-
veloping. Less than fortnight
ago, the Servians had been routed
