MIR. FITZHUGH FOR THE b. & M.
SYSTEM.

Undoubtedly that portion of the pub
lie which has followed closely the mixed
railroad developments of the past year
would be satisfied and even grateful
should the government select Il. II. Fitz-
hugh as trustee of the Boston & Maine
railroad. Mr.. Fitzhugh was vice presi-
dent of the Grand Trunk and president
of the Central Vermont, and when the
president of the former road and the
president of the New Haven arranged
their bunco game upon the people OF
New England he was the only one who
came through with a clean record. As
a protest against the bad faith which
characterized their proceedings he re-
signed his connections and the railroad
world lost, for the time being, one of its
ablest and most honorable representa-
tiyes. Few men are as familiar with
the conditions Of the Boston & Maine as
he, while his probity is an asset that is
subject TO no discount.--Boston Tran
script.
If, in his somewhat advanced years.
Mr.. Fitzhugh could be prevailed upon
to assume the very heavy duties that
will devolve upon the trustees OF the re-
organized Boston & Maine railroad, there
is no doubt that the choice would be
well received in all parts of New Eng
land, where most of his railroad work
has been done in recent years. During
his tenure of official position with the
Central Vermont Railway company Mr..
Fitzhugh won high place for himself
in business and he seemed to have the
confidence of the public to marked de-
gree. Therefore, if man of his stamp
could be induced to cooperate with 9TH
ers in the management of the sorely
tried Boston 4 Maine system it would
mean that great deal of confidence in
the future Of that system would be re-
stored, the more so because Mr.. Fitzhugh
is intimately acquainted with the prob
lens that confront the Boston & Maine
because Of his knowledge of conditions
in New England through long associa-
ton with another New England railroad,
Ut would be a most excellent choice.

The Lesson in a Fire.

! 1t goes without saying that the sym
pathy of the entire state goes out to
Montpelier because Of Sunday mornings
destructive fire. There is no community
| in Vermont that can stand fire causing
damage reaching up to $l75,000 and
over, without staggering BIT under the
load, but it is safe to say that the
Capital city is not discouraged and that
out of the ruins finer and safer build
ings viii arise.
| Fire, while one of the greatest friends
OF man, is also one of the greatest enc
mics. This is a fact that IS not suili-
GENTLY recognized in this country. Time
and time again it has been pointed out
that the per capita fire loss in the Unit
ed States is far above that of Continen-
tai countries, where more strict building
rules are enforced. The fire loss here Is
q serious indictment against our COM
mon sense.
There sometimes is u general feeling
that insurance covers the loss, but this
is most fallacious belief. Capital gone
up in smoke is gone forever. The insur-
anee money lowers the capital reservoir
just so MUCH and there is no way get
ting out of it. Fire is destructive of
capital, not constructive. Despite this
fact we in this country have gone on
building with little regard for the
future, and it is not strange II we are
brought to task by disaster sooner or
later.
But this does not lessen the sympathy
that goes out TO community that has
been visited by connagration. In it,
however, there is lesson, not alone for
the afflicted community. but also for
those which have been more fortunate.
One may well expect that Montpelier
viii decide to build better for the future
than she did for the past. The lesson
has been brought right home to that city
and probably the lesson will not be lost.
Other communities should heed the OBJ
vious without waiting until disaster has
brought a realization of self-eyident
truths.
The lesson in every big fire is almost
invariably this: we must build better.
II is all right enough and ii is essential
to have our fire department, the more
compete the better, but it is infinitely
better not to have TO work that fire de-
partment. And one way we can prevent
fire department activity is to enforce
stricter building regulations. No man
win kick if the fireman's job is one long
loaf. 1t is TO our benefit to make his
period of service a vacstion.-St, Adams |
Messenger.

regulation is a needed addition to the
and it would be good thing
for any state or large community. Many
states and communities restrict the sale
of slower agencies of death like drugs;
and by the same token they have right
to restrict the more rapid agencies for
self -destruction, like bichloride Of mer-
curry. New York City has set the pace
for all the larger municipalities of the
country. Let the Others fehew.

FEED THE BIRDS.
Until Bare Ground and Warmer Weather
Give Them a Chance.

80 the Editor:
May | not urge the public through
the columns OF your paper to feed the
wild birds with grain, crumbs and suet
while the snow lastsf Our winter birds
do splendid work for humanity all win
ter long by devouring larvae and eggs
of noxious insects and seeds of trouble
some weeds. They do not mind the cold
if well fed. But the snow covers their
food supply and staryes them. To tie
suet and meat scraps to trees and scat
ter grain and crumbs on hard tramped
snow, or better on 'food-table'-a box
or board on a post set up out of reach
of cats-is q kindness to suffering wild
creatures. But, it is more than that 1t
is a public spirited act, redounding to
the welfare of mankind. The birds saved
will repay a thousand fold in their work
on garden, shrubbery and orchard. Chaff
from the barn floor and scraps from the
table are fine for this work If we can
afford it, hemp and sunhower seed are
splendid. But, let us each do something
in the name of humanity, until the bare
ground and warmer weather relieve the
strain.

Massachusetts, state bonds are not be-
ing picked up with marked avidity in
Treasurer Mansfeld's "over the counter
sale, probably due to the fact that brok-
ers were permitted to bid first and jack
the price up to such high figure that
many Of the people cannot afford to buy
them at the yield which the bonds will
give. A real move to help the people,
would have been to withhold the brok-

of Massachusetts, might have lost money

still, the captain was only assuming a

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
TO NoRTHFIELD FIREMEN.
They Put Out Brusa Co. Fire, but Cadets
Were Willing Workers.

Editor of the Barre Times, Barre, VT,
Dear Mr.. Editor-In to- days issue of
The Times | read the account of the fire
in the granite shed of the Brusa Gran
lite company of this place. | note that
the credit for checking this fire goes
to the Norwich cadets, who came in a
body from the barracks. 1t is with
view to correcting this statement that
/ am writing you. / was present at
that fire long before the Norwich men
arrived, and upon my arrival | found
that hose company No. | had streams
upon the flames. No. 2 company soon
arrived and laid line of hose to the
burning buildings but orders came that
the fire was under control and not to
turn on the water. 1t was some time
after this that the students arrived and
they offered their services to the fire
department. The fire was practically out
when they arrived. To readers of The
Times, outside of Mortified, it would
appear that our firemen were unable to
cope with the situation, while in reality
they responded quickly and got down to
business in manner which showed that
the Mortified fire department was right
there with the goods.
/ do not wish to imply that the Nor
witch students did not work, for they
most certainly did. They helped draw
the fire hose wagons back to the quar-
tiers and also held themselves in readi-
ness, as they always do, to help, On
more than one occasion they have come
to the rescue and rendered helping
hand in time of need, but in the case
of this fire the credit belongs wholly to
the members of the fire department. /
believe credit should be given to those
to whom credit belongs.
Very truly yours,
An Ex- Fireman.
