given hearty encouragement. If the
young people are taught to study the
birds and their habits, new spirit will be
developed in the community, given time
enough and cooperation enough-a spir-
it which will demand that the birds be
given protection from the ruthless hunt
er. As almost everyone knows, there is
la too prevalent practice hereabouts of
shooting anything bigger than hum
ming bird or anything large enough to
be Il target. As result OF the prac-
tice, numberless birds are killed off each
spring and summer and all people are
deprived OF the sunshine and Joy which
their annual visitation gives. The birds
must be protected, and we know of no
surer means of protection than by de-
veloping a love Tor birds in the upcoming
generation which win demand that the
shooting cease. There ought to be wide
enrolment in the clubs which have been
formed

A REAL DAUGHTER OF AMERICAN
REVOLUTION.

! The death of so called real Daugh-
ter of the American Revolution, an es-
teemed woman OF the town of East
! Montpelier, brings us to a realization
that this country of ours is little more
than an infant among the countries of
the world; whereas we have come to
look upon ourselves as a nation of some
antiquity. The vital chain of life that
connects us with the forefathers who
engaged in the stirring times when the
nation was born is not yet entirely
snapped, although it is probable that
there are few people living who were
the sons and daughters of the soldiers in
the war which brought independence to
the struggling colonies OF the country
across the sea. The East Montpelier
woman was one of small remnant of
venerable persons who had marked dis
tinction through direct connection with
the men and women of the Revolution
airy period of the now great republic.
Therefore, big as the nation is, powerful
as the nation is, progressive as the ma
tion is, it nevertheless is a newcomer
among the nations of the world; and it
is little wonder, then, that the forward
ness of the United States in many
things is looked upon by other world
powers with Impotence and with some
thing Of the spirit of envy at being out
stripped by a comparative youngster.
When one stops to compare ages, one
can readily understand also the under
current of sentiment among the nations
of long history which likes to see the
upstart chided and perhaps punished-in
other words, kept in it's place" as be-
comes younger brother. Still, while
our nation has lived, it has lived, as
many venerable people like Yermont's
real Daughter of the American Revolu-
ton might have been able to tell had
they been gifted with the power of
narration resulting from close obserya-
ton of the progress of events.

CURRENT COMMENT
Mob Spirit Again.

William J. Burns seems to be per-
soma non grata in Georgia. He has
been hooted and jeered at in the streets.
He has been subject to annoyance and
insult. The climax was reached in Ma
rietta, where a mob gathered on his ar
rival. One valiant citizen slapped the
detectives face and, backed by the
crowd, dared him to resent it. He was
showered with eggs and ordered out OF
town.
Detective Burns is in Georgia to aid
in securing the truth about the murder
of little Mary Phagan. The peculiar
atroeious crime for which Leo NJ Frank
was convicted and sentenced to death
has stirred the whole country. II now
appears that, whether guilty or not,
Frank did not have fair trial. Mob
spirit invaded the court room. Its coer-
cion. wildly expressed through the
shouts of the populace surrounding the
court house, had an undoubted effect on
the jury
Apparently this sentiment is still
rampant. 1t demands a victim 1t is
the type of lawlessness that feeds upon
itself. growing more menacing and ruth
less as it remains unchecked. So long
as the community tolerates profession
al breeders of strife, and allows yellow
papers to capitalize ancient hatreds. we
can progress but haltingly.-Bos

est and most wretched, is to have his
place in the sun or the shade, as he
elects, and receive degree of considera-
tion such as he has never known before.
Call 1t martial law, or martial law
tempered by civil rule, the condition is
one that makes life easier and less anx-
ious for the common run OF the people,
for those, by the way, who do most of
the fighting when it has to be done and
bear the heaviest economic burden at
other times. If the treatment the peo-
Pile of Vera Cruz are receiving from the
"gringos" is a sample of American adj
ministration and American manhood,
then there has been a great misconcep-
ton about both and the sting is taken
out OF hatred. The story will be told
all the way up to the city OF Mexico; it
will make for better understanding
and perhaps it may have bearing upon
the issue of peace or war.
The good work laid down by that
splendid naval officer, Admiral Frank f.
Fletcher, is now taken up by General
Frederick Funston, fine administrator
himself and man full of human ma
ture. With two months in Vera Cruz
the Americans would make it city fit
to live in and the occupation of the
zopilotes would be gone.-New York

THE 1914 STONE BUSINESS.
Optimistic View Taken by american
Stone Trade"

There is every reason to believe that
the stone industry win have good
year. Permits for building operations in
all the large cities of this country show
a marked increase over those of last
year. Cut stone contractors are now
| figuring on more work than thew did a
year ago, and all admit that there is
lots of work in sight but say so far few
contracts have been let and business has
shown little activity, producing in the
ranks of the stone operators feeling
of timidity and anxiety quite natural
but not warranted on a careful analysis
of present conditions. The business of
this country has never been on more
sound basis than it is this year. Stocks
| in every line of business are low, pur-
chases replenishing tacks for months
have been from hand to mouth, mer-
chants holding back waiting on rail-
roads to make much needed improve
ments and give an impetus thereby to
| business in general. The railroads have
not taken this step. waiting on the in
| ter-state commerce commission to grant
them the 5 per cent. increase on freight
rates they have been asking. The re-
| form currency bill has not as yet gone
into full operation TO give that meas
ure of relief to the business world in an
easier money market to get loans from
the banks for intended new business
projects which have been in eontem-
plation since the first of the year. Not
outstanding these hating influences on
business in general, the volume Of trade
for tho first three months Of this year
compares favorably, and in fact shows
an increase over that Of the correspond
ing periods of 1912 and 1918. both pros
porous years. When these hating In
fuences on business disappear rs here
is every certainty that they viii 10 q
very short time, a marked revival N the
activities in the business world viii fol-
low and especially so in all building
tines throughout the country. The many
building projects which last year did net
get beyond the architects offices and
blue prints viii this year he enabled TO
borrow the money from the banks to
start and bring to completion building
operations which have impatiently
waited on the favorable opportunity
now soon at hand That there is much
work in sight for the stone industry is
a fact beyond dispute, and when this
work is actively begun it will mean
buster times for quarries and cut stone
plants than was seen last wear. Every
thing points 10 a favorable and speedy
consummation of commercial and indus
trial inactivity and whatever timidity
or anxiety existed in the ranks of the
stone trade will have been dissipated
and long forgotten at the approach of
the fall months of the year.-From

What Makes Those Women Mad.

In the April Woman's Home Compan-
ion j. Nilsen Laurvik, writing an article
entitled "John Bulls Militant Daugh-
ters," states as follows the causes OF the
militant movement in England
First, the law of inheritance, which
in every instance excludes her in favor
of some male member of the family,
often leaving her a penniless dependent
upon the male relatives TO whom her
due share has gone, and that further
deprives her of right to her own children
unless they are born out of wedlocki
she has neither dover rights nor rights
as mother. By English law no mar
ried woman exists as the mother OF the
child she brings into the world. The
child, according to English marriage
laws, has only one parent, and that par
ent is the father; while out OF marriage
the law recognizes only one parent and
that parent is--tbe mother.
Second, the uniustly discriminatory
divorce laws, designed to safeguard and
shield the man, and which even Mr..
Gladstone declared to be a gross inlus-
tice to women in favor of men, an ex-
cellent illustration of which is the case
of the wife of day laborer in London
told of by Elizabeth Robins: Mrs. B.
was an applicant for separation or
der tsirce divorce is too dear a luxury
for any of this class The ground OF
Mrs BIS plea was the inddelity of her
hushand you can't get a separation
order Ger that" well, but he brings
the Woven hosne ne keeps her in the
house. "1'hat is no ground" Then
the magistrate is given the heart of
the grievance. The husband insists on
having the interl0per IN his wifes bed
room. No redress, while one act of in.
fidelity on her part entities the man to
en- absolute divorce This condition APP
plies TO all English women. Comment
is superfuous.
Third, the census OF eight years ago
put the number OF women working in
trades at four millions, and all these
women are without adequate representa-
ton, and in consequence most of them
are III paid and overworked to a degree
shocllingly unbelievable. In this, as in
the above and in most matters affecting
the welfare of women in England, there
is one law for men and another for
women, and without the vote the wom-
en- are helpless to remedy these condi-
tons. The government itself offers an
excellent illustration OF this inequality
in the treatment OF its postal and tele
graph employees. At one end of a tele-
graph line you find a man earning 600
Isl ,000) a year and woman at the
other end earning ESQ (S400l."

Three times in little more than double
that number of years has fire come tc
scoreh and wither up the life of the
pleasant little village of West Fairlee
on the Connecticut river border of Yer
mont; and after each succeeding de-
vastation the village has seemed to set.
tie back more or less crushed by the
visitation. Such misfortune has caused
regret generally because the community
was known TO have little power of re-
sistance to such disasters and little OF
the resilient rebound of great vitality
That which was burned is apt never to
be replaced in places like West Fairlee,
For all such communities, there is only
one thing TO do; and that is to provide
a reasonable means of protection to safe
guard that which is still left. We hope
that West Fairlee will take this tardy
step, and we hope also that its future
viii not be so much like the future of
all too many little villages following
devastation by fire, in which they sink
back in proportion to the loss sustained
West Fairlee has much to commend it,
self, chiefly as a residential section Of
the state, and the qualifications along
that line ought to keep along with the
procession.

France took several steps backward
in the march toward higher things when
the threatened duel between Joseph
Caillaux and Fernand d'Aillieres, recent
political opponents, was allowed to be
held. The reported cause was the challenge
from Caillaux to d Aillicres is a statement
alleged to have been made by the lat
ter on bills posted in the constituency
of the two making yelled and slurring
references TO the shooting of Editor Gas
ton Calmette by Caillaux' wife. If duels
were to be allowed to follow slurring re-
marks and statements in politics in the
United States. there would be a veritable
broadside clear across the country after
every election. But Americans do not
take their politics as seriously as to de-
mand apology with dueling, excepting
perhaps in isolated instances; and the
record of succeeding years can be
depended upon to squelch any false
hood and wipe out any temporary stain
that may have attached to an honorable
person. All that is needed is patience
and self restraint. The French need
lesson in that most necessary aid to
politics.

One reason why Vermont's detective
work costs so much is because Vermont
isn't SO content as formerly to let Grim.
inals escape; but even at that the state
is paying quite goodly sum of money
every year to single detective agency
Without questioning in the least the
ability OF this agency to secure fugitives
one might consider that the work could
be done cheaper by state officials except
perhaps in the major crimes. We en-
ploy men to do that sort of work in
every town and county and they are con-
sidered fairly competent men in that
class of work. We might give them
more chance to demonstrate it.

HUMANE SOCIETY MEETING.
Much Work Done in Washington County
the Past Year.

! ING dSl i S0is
The Washington County Humane So
ciety held its annual meeting in the KEEL
Iogg Hubbard library at Montpelier yes
terday, with the president, DR.. William
w. Brock, presiding. His report for the
year showed that 50 cases Of cruelty to
animals were investigated, eight in
Marshfeld, four in Plainfeld, five in
Calais, six in Berlin, ii in Middlesex, "a
in Montpelier, two in Fayston, two in
Woodbury., three in Moretown, one in
Waitsfeld, three in Worcester, three in
Waterbury, one in Putnamville, two in
East Montpelier and two in Mortified
OF these l06 we're horses; ia, cows;
four yearlings; one mule, four pair
oxen; two dogs; six cats killed; home
found for a eat and kittens, one blind
horse lost on the mountain; one lame
fox chained in q box in the open with
the temperature 20 below zero, shot.

the law Fly nets were ordered used on
between 80 and 40 horses and a cam.
paign was started for the blanketing of
horses left standing in the cold through
the winter The society would have
been unable to do the work of the year
