The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-04-28

The Atlantic Reporter publishes the in
teresting opinion of the supreme court Of
Vermont in the case of Mrs Emma E.
Curtis of Burlington, who left to trustees
the sum of $255,OOO to be used for educa-
tional purposes in the state. The decision
was on the question whether the bequest
was subject to the inheritance tax of the
state. In deciding that the bequest was
exempt the reasoning included the inter
probation of the constitution which pro-
vides that charitable societies or associa-
tons should be encouraged and protected
in their immunities and privileges The
soundness of this doctrine as a matter of
public policy is emphasized in the courts
opinion as follows: "The state can well
afford, considering the purpose to which
the money is devoted, to let it pass un-
taxed, and we are loathe to believe that
the legislature intended to take toll of be-
nevolences calculated to supplement the
states efforts in the cause of education >

What He Might Do.
(Boston Post.)

If General William C. Gorgas, the
man who did so much to make posi-
BILE the Panama canal by compelling
sanitary conditions in the strip, de
cides to accept the offer of the Rock
efeller Foundation and 90 to Servia to
fight down the terrible typhus there,
the old world viii see one of the finest
examples of new world efficiency that
she has ever heheld.
The American Red Cross society,
which had sent company of six doc
tors and II nurses to help combat the
pestilence, gives gloomy report of
the situation. Over the entire coun-
try two people out of every hundred
of population, including Servians and
prisoners of war, have died, and the
death rate is rapidly increasing. In
Nish alone, one day last February,
there were $50 deaths from typhus
There is neither room nor time to
bury the dead; they must be crematod
OF the American contingent of doc
tors and nurses all but four have con,
traeted the dread disease.
The canal finished, we can now
spare General Gorgas for a sG'Ti,t tc
humanity that will never be forgotten

leave of absence in such noblc cause

places with men Of professional or bust
ness training and of more or less po-
litical tendency. Almost never has a
mechanic or artisan been selected. This
new board has to deal particularly
with accidents in the larger industrial
enterprises of the state and with the
conditions in the plants which tend TO
cause accidents. 1t is manifestly not
matter of choice but of duty on the
part of the governor to name a me-
chanic or skilled laborcr in some line
to membership on this new board,
Governor Gates also has a party re
sponsibihty in this matter During
the last campaign the skilled working
men of Vermont pretty generally sup
ported the Republican tic ket headed
by Charles w. Gates. 1t would be
poor politics as well as unjust to the
workingmen of Vermont not to name
one of them to membership on the in
dustriaI accident board.

Grafton item in Lon

Bellows Falls. = Grafton item in Lon
donderry Sitter.
If the sagacious proprietor Of the
tavern at Grafton could place this
clipping in the hands of every auto
tourist who heads for Vermont this
summer, he would have to build a
new tavern next year, provided al
ways that the "same old COOK is the
sort we used to find in country tav-
ems Sin the good old days
In those days, a tavern didn t print
~ different kinds of food on its bill
of fare and spoil them all by unskil-
full imitation of city chefs. It's dinner
was a simple but substantial affair,
served at high noon with stewed chick
en-, yellow, juicy and cooked to fork
tenderness, mashed potatoes, string
beans or peas, real bread, print butter,
lettuce and onion salad (perhaps) Gus
tard or rhubarb pie and (by great good
fortune) cottage cheese.
If the Grafton hosiery had that
kind of a cook, it would hardly need
the added attraction of the fresh pain;
| and the Bellows Falls bus to attract
tourists. The suppers and breakfasts
featuring fresh fruit, cream and new
| laid eggs, the comfortable beds, with
windows open to the spruces and white
birches and the neighborly hills close
by-quiet, simplicity and good food
how few innkeepers realize that tht
warfarer on wheels viii pay any rea
sonable price for that sort of service
This summer will see the highway
of this state thronged with tourists
Vermont will have an opportunity, a
never before, to show her best skill il
entertaining the stranger within he
gates The old-fashioned cook and tn
clean, restful tavern will do much il
the way of service.
It will not suffice merely to attrac
visitors to our hills and lakes an,
tinkling streams. We must feed then
well and treat them like welcom
guests. Once well fed, friend for

At a rough estimate something like
$30,000,000, representing the cost of
construction, would have been remov-
ed from activity in Chicago this
spring if the strike of the carpenters
had not been averted. At almost the
last moment an agreement to mediate
was reached through the efforts of the
president of the carpenters district
council and chairman of the carpen-
ters' committee and the state board Of
arbitration. There is still the posi-
bility that the work of mediation may
be upset, but it is remote. A strike
such as was threatened would have
thrown tens of thousands OF workmen
of allied trades out of employment af-
ter a winter that has been anything
but easy for them and their families.
