Railroad Earnings.

Gross earnings of the United States
railroads. from which weekly returns are
received by Dunns Review. continued TO
make poor comparison with those OF
year ago, the total for three weeks in
May amounting TO S21,519.2S9, decrease
of IA per cent as compared with 1913.
While the loss for the latest week on a
number Of roads is very slight, only
few report an increase, and this, as a
rule. Is insignificant. while, on the other
hand, the returns on many leading sys-
TENS display sharp contraction.
In the following table are given the
gross earnings Of railroads reporting for
three weeks OF May. and the loss as COM
pared with the earnings OF the same roads
for the corresponding period year ago
also for the roads that reported for the
same weeks in the two preceding months,

In view Of the report Of the Carnegie
Foundation relative to educational con
ditions in Vermont it has been sug-
gested that it would re the proper amt
graceful thing for President John NJ
Thomas Of Midilebury college and
President Guy Potter Benton Of the
University Of Vermont TO resign from
the state board of education No one
ia the state has anything but the high
est respect for these gentlemen, but
as the Bennington Banner SAYS. tine
unprei indeed experts say that our Yer
mont colleges need consideration not
quite 80 much rs our elementary
schools amt that they have had a little
more than their share. With the two
college presidents on the board of edu-
cation it will be said plausibiv even
though it he uniustlv that their in

under the circumstances and that they
may be preiudieed when Il difference
arises. As friend OF the two gentle

DESERVE NO PITY.

Governor Glvnn of New York in a
special message TO the legislature urges
an immediate revision OF the small
loan law so that the amount Of interest
that can be lawfully charged will be
reduced TO the minimum. and imprison-
ment as we'll as fines provided for those
who violate the regulations. In his
message the governor said:
The loan shark finds the poor man
easy prey. The loan shark has money

Of his victim in payment He writes
his own bond and exacts the pound Of
flesh remorselessly and with infinite

permits the charging Of from IA to Ii

quite a sag. And not only did the
fires break out N practically the same

Very similar course and they had VERY
similar results in the amount of dam
age done. However, each community
was fortunate in combining the fire to
the building in which it started. due
TO the efficient work put in by the fire
departments. There is satisfaction in
the knowledge that the fire was kept
down 10 comparatively small proper
tions.
The only consolation to be found in
the two serious Vermont fires of sun
day night Is that they occurred in
communities which are better able &c
repair the loss than most Vermont
towns would be able to do. Rutland
and Brattlehoro have undoubted recu-
perative powers, and it Is likely that
the burned building in each place will
| be replaced by something just as good
as the structure destroyed. But had
] the fires taken place in some smaller
