VILLAGE SHAKEN BY
FALL OF HUGE ROCK
Granite Block of Is Tons Dropped $50
Feet in a Quarry at West Rut-
land Yesterday.

RUTLAND, July "A tremor as of
an earthquake was felt throughout the
village of West Rutland at last even
ing, when a block of granite weighing
about 10 tons, dropped to the bottom
of the Eastman quarry, a distance of
more than $50 feet, while being hoist
ed to the quarry edge. The power house
was destroyed and much machinery
damaged, the loss being estimated at
about $1,000. The block was little dam
aged by its impact with the pit floor
The accident was caused by the slip
ping of the belt from the controlling
wheel when the engineer, James Elem
ing, set the brakes to attend to the
fires while the huge block was slowly
being hauled to the surface.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Right Note at Last.

The Senate Republicans have taken
the proper stand-and one too long de-
laved-in deciding to oppose altogether
the passage of the emergency war reve-
nue. measure telling the Democrats that
thew lower the cost OF our government
instead. No worthier suggestion eouid
be offered. The present administration
is a record breaker in extravaganza. Inc
presidents own estimates, on which leg
islation is based, exceeded those OF any
az his predecessors. Congress itself has
run riot in pork barrel enterprises.
Congressman C,illett called attention
the other day to the sinecure which the
Taft administration created for ex-Sen-
ator CulIum, in the belief that he was
penniless. and that the gratulty would
expire with his death. That event dis
closed his possession of comfortable
fortune. But did the Democrats, profit
ing bv the lesson allow the sinecure TO
cease BY no means. They promptly
cave it to ex-senator Blackburn OF Ken
lucky. who seemingly has many years to
live. This is a trifing matter, but en-
tirely representative of what is going on.
In spite of all platform promises, no
serious effort at economy worthy OF the
name has been made by the present
Democratic administration.
The Republicans have appointed a
committee of five, with Senator Weeks
of this state a member, to press strongly
for an economical use of such revenues
as we possess, rather than raising new
ones. This doctrine is absolutely sound
1t is an issue on which the Republicans
ought to be able to carry the country.
No other is more vital to the welfare of
the American people. None touches
more closely to the cost of living of
which much is now heard.-Boston Her

More Senate Contests.

The Republicans, as a party, are get
ting ''the worst of it" in the popular cleo
tion Of senators recently embedded in
the constitution. That they are is in
evidence in many directions.
Who would have supposed, for ex-
ample. that the regular Republican can
didate for senator from Vermont would
ever be in any danger of defeat Perhaps
he is not now. But there is a "situa-
ton" warrants attention. William p.
Dillingham; was renominated by the Re-
publicans the other day with great
unanimity and enthusiasm. He has had
long and thoroughly ereditsble record.
He has been a dignified and conservative
senator. He deserves reelection.
But he viii meet at the polls on Nov.
l3. as Progressive candidate, Mr..
Charles A. Prouty, former interstate
commerce commissioner, and now head
Of the board to which has been com
mitted the valuation OF railroad proper
ties. Perhaps Prouty may also have
Democratic endorsement. He has had no
aTiliation with the Progressives as a
third-party. being lifelong Republican.
But I've il seeking a seat in the Senate,
trusting to the radical platform on
which he has done his work in the in
terstate commerce commission.
Though Vermont is the strongest Re-
publican state in the union IN proportion
10 its population, Mr.. Dillingham; will
have some contest on his hands. Even
II the Democrats do not endorse Prouty.

How canada cot II. Name.

The origin Of the name Canada Is
strange enough. The Spaniards visited
that country previous to the French
and made particular search for gold
and silver, and. finding none, they of
ten said among themselves, "Aca NADIA, y
meaning There is nothing here" The
Indians. who watched closely. learned
this sentence and its meaning. Later
on the French arrived, and the Indians,
who wanted none of their company and
supposed they had come on the same
errand as the Spanish. were desirous
to inform them In the Spanish sen
tence "Aca NADIA" The French, who
knew as little Of the Spanish language
as they. supposed that the necessarily
recurring sound was the name OF the
country and ultimately christened it
Canada, which 1t has borne ever since.

Among the industries doomed by the
state fair at White River Junction is
the hotel keepers business in towns nd.
Joining White River Junction and even
as far away as a score or more miles
Not few innkeepers can testify thet
their business receipts for the current
wear will be considerably increased as
the result of the arrival of state fair
attendants from remote points who are
unable to return home on the same Gay
of their arrival. This is entirely unex-
pected business for the hotels but all the
more gladly received because it comes at
a season of the year when the summer
business is on the wane. 1t might be
expected, too, that city as far away
from the state fair as Barre might rea-
sonably expect some Of the weeks over
flow business when the conditions be-
come right for receiving large number
of people.

The world is still wondering what
those troops were that passed down from
Scotland through England and embarked
for the continent troops described by
returning American refugees to be Rus
slams. In view of the fact that official
denial was made by the British war
press bureau that Russian troops passed
down through the British Isles, it begins
TO appear that the American refugees
must have mistaken Highlanders in cos
tune for Russians. Such an explana-
ton may seem far-fetched inasmuch as
there are few points of similarity be-
tween Scotch Highlanders and Russian
soldiers; but in the excitable state OF
mind in which the refugees found them
selves possibly things looked different
than they would look under calm sur
vey. Moreover, we must take it for the
truth that the British news bureau de-
MES in toto the stories that Russians
were sent TO the western theatre of wal
by way Of Archangel and Great Britain
When the war is settled we may expect
a solution of a mystery.

When General Funston and his troops
leave Vera Cruz permanently, the sum
of 81 100000 will be turned over to the
Mexican government, having been col
lected in customs, 1t is perhaps more
money than the government might have
expected to receive during the troublous
times OF the revolution. but the United
States probably will not get even a
"thank you" for its safeguarding Of the
city and its customs service. Nor dc
the people of the United States expect
thanks, because they have come to look
upon the Mexicsns as ungrateful, re-
markedly ungrateful.
