Guard Vermont Transportation

When the Grand Trunk Railway
company took over the Central Yer
mont railroad, the Vermont Legisls-
ture saw to it that the enabling legis'
lation protected the rights and inter
ests of Vermont and Of Vermont Sc
curity holders. The Boston & Maine
railroad desires to take over NermonC
limos of railway that are leased to it
at a rental remune alive to the hold
ers of the stock OF such lines and
ownership with uncertain
dividends for leases with stated rates.
The Legislature needs to deal justly
with all concerned but it should seek
in particular to conserve the inte''
ests OF this commonwealth as State
desiring competition in transportation
and the interests OF security holders
in Vermont lines.
Worse things might happen Yer.
mont By ia than the surrender OF
the leases of the Connecticut and
Passumpsic lines by the Boston &
Maine. When the Central Vermont
passed through crisis it's leases OF
the Rutland division and of the Og.

surrendered, and as a result Vermont
today has three competing lines of

BRITISH HINDER OUR TRADE.

Petition Sent to President Wilson Cit
ing Cases to his Observation.
New York.-The importers petition
addressed to President Wilson was
made public here Monday. 1t sets forth
that the British blockade concerns
mot only the property rights of the
undersigned citizens" but involves a
contemplated unlawful destruction Of
a most important portion of the entire
commerce of the United States"
The petition discusses issues of in
ternational law and urges upon the
president the need for a very early
determination of these issues, so that
we may know whether we will be able
to conduct our established business"
Great Britain, the petition says, has
studiously avoided answering the
American note of March 30, and
months of valuable time, in which it
was necessary for us to prepare for
our coming business, have passed"
Notwithstanding that this declara-
ton of the British government does
not follow from any declared and
maintained blockade of German ter
ritory," the petition says, 1--WE have
been unable to induce any steamship
companies to carry our goods.

MINING NEWS

The Hecla Mining Co. of Burke,
Idaho, this week began the distribu-
ton of it's regular monthly dividend of
$4,000. This makes 100000 for the
current year and a grand total of 3d.
100000.
Thomas E. Newton, superintendent
of the Bear Mountain mine, Is miles
east of Colville, Wash, reports a
strike of IS inches of steel galena in
the main tunnel. Tests for values
have not been made, but Mr.. Newton
states that silver and lead predominant
and that the ore will pay to ship. The
mine has been worked for nearly Is
years.
The officials of the O-W. r. & N
Co. have announced the discontinue
ance of the arbitrary charge of 81 a
ton on ore shipments over the Murray
branch. Discontinuance of this charge
places the company in a position to
compete with the Northern Pacific
Nine Mile branch, which has made no
charge for hauling ores from Bum sta
tion to the main line at Wallace.
All previous earning records for
northwestern mining companies have
been eclipsed by the Interstate Gala
han Co., which owns and is operating
the third largest zinc producing prop
erty in the world, in the Nine Mile
district in the Occur d'Alenes, ac-
cording to reports from reliable
sources received from Wallace, Idaho,
which state that the net profits for
the week ended Saturday, June 10,
were Sl75,O0O, or at the rate of $780,
600 monthly.
Advices received from Wallace, Ida
no, state that the Marsh mine and
mill has resumed operations, after an
idleness of a number of months, dur
ing which the mill has been enlarged
to 200 tons daily capacity and fully
equipped with the most modern ma
chinery. The mine has been eXtens-
lively developed also, and both are
said by the management to be in
shape for continuous operation for a
long period. About 100 men will be
employed at first and the force will
be increased gradually to the maxi
mum requirement.

SAY PRIZE COURT
NOT NECESSARY
THAT is THE STAND TAKEN BY
THE UNITED STATES WITH
GERMAN GOVERNMENT.
WANT DAMAGES IN FRYE CASE
We Say German Tribunal Lacking in
Jurisdiction-Each Side Cites the
Treaty-LiabiIity Admitted-No
Delay for Our Government.

Washington.-By agreement with
the German foreign office the state
department has made public the text
of the note sent on June "a by the
United States, asking Germany to re-
consider her refusal to settle by direct
diplomatic negotiations, instead of by
prize court proceedings, the claim pre-
scented on behalf of the captain and
owners of the American ship William
p. Frye, sunk with her cargo of wheat
by the commerce raider Prinz Eitel
Friedrich. Ambassador Gerard cabled
that he had delivered the note last
Saturday afternoon.
The American government declares
that inasmuch as Germany has admit
ted Inability for the sinking of the
Frye under the treaty of 1925 prize
court proceedings are unnecessary and
not binding upon the United States.
Aside from the question of how the
indemnity should be paid, the note
brings out clearly the refusal of the
United States to accept the contention
that Germany has a right to stop the
carrying of contraband by American
ships "by the destruction of the con
traband and the ship carrying it,"
While no mention of submarine war
fare was made in either the last Ger
man note or the present reply, occa
sion is taken to deny this right, be
cause of a belief that admission of il
now might in the future be used as a
justification for submarine attacks on
American ships.

The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1915-06-30

The following beautiful tribute to
woman's love and devotion is from
the pen of Robert G. Ingersoll: "The
one thing in this work that is con-
slant, the one window in which light
forever burns, the one star which
darkness cannot quench, is woman's
love. 1t rises to the greatest
height, it sinks to the lowest depth,
it forgives the most cruel injuries.
II is perennial of life and grows in
any climate; neither GOODNESS nor
neglect, harshness or cruelty can
extinguish it. A woman's love is
the purfume Of the heart. This is
the real love that wrought miracles
in art, that gives music all the way
from the cradle song to the SYM
phony, that bears the soul sway on
wings of fire; a love that is greater
than power, sweeter than life, and
stronger than death"
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1915-06-30
NOTHING TO 1T

Despite the claims to the contrary,
there is absolutely nothing to the
idea that Kentucky will elect a
Republican ticket this fall.
Perhaps Edwin Morrow thinks so.
If so, he is not the intelligent man
that his Democratic friends accredit
him with being. However, if his
ticket should win, the credit, or
rather discredit, can easily be
charged to the Democratic party.
We have a majority--a large ma
jority-of the votes in the State.
Certain so-called Democrats have
left nothing undone, it seems, that
would tend to bring about Repubh-
can success, but happily, these peo-
pie and their methods are known,
and it is hardly within the range Of
belief that they will cut much figure
when the people select a ticket in
August.
Any good Democrat running on
the last platform built for the guild
ance of the party will have the con-
slant support of this newspaper,
and none others should be recog-
nized by Democratic voters.
If a clean, honorable, intelligent
body of men from Governor down
to Agricultural Commissioner is
selected-and it will be easy to pick
them from the feld--much less talk
will be heard of Republican success
in September than is being heard in
June.
Whatever the Republican party
may have achieved in State politics
elsewhere, the two trials in Ken
