bllitieS, and during the next twenty

wealth should be increased by many
hundreds of millions Of dollars. That
we, however, still need millions OF
outside capital and that these mill
ions will not be forthcoming unless
we treat fairly every dollar that has
been honestly invested in our indus
tries should be apparent to every
thoughtful citizen.
In the end, all the people and the
industries of state, great or small,
must rise or fall together-for IN
the final analysis we are all depend

fare OF the town and its surrounding
farms depend upon spirit OF kind
ly cooperation between those who
i've in town and those who live up
on the farm. Without splendid in
land towns we would have rural at
mosphere which would soon drive ev-
cry bright country boy and girl to
the cities-while without the farms
the towns would wither and die. Ev-
en- so it is with all the other inter-
ests of our great commonwealth
which should contribute it's full share

has persuaded them to make this ap-

doing SO they have tried to state
their side of the story fairly. They

that the reader may accord to them

THE NOSE FOR NEWS.
Dieter to the New York SUM.


AS to the suggested requirement of an
examination for license to practice the
profession Of journalism, there Is one
possession which the schools may enlarge
but cannot give. 1t is known in the
shop talk of newspaper men as "a nose
for news"
The points in story which, conspicu-
ously developed in the telling, add inter-
est are not tagged and are frequently
buried from the eyes of the reporters in a
mass of inconsequence. A seeker with a
nose for news scents them and instinct
visualizes them for him so that in his
minds eye he sees them pictured in
print, he knows they are the features
which. played up" will make his story
attractive, and minimized will make it
commonplace.
Could the examiners of a candidate for
license determine his possession or lack
of this instinct? To some it would seem
value of a bird dogs nose without a
field trial.
A nose for news is a combination of a
sense of proportion, an intutive grasp Of
relative values. a feeling for what will
brighten a narrative Of facts, a positive,
If indctinabe, consciousness that this
will interest. that bore, quick guess
where lie the facts which, secured, will
develop those ends of the story most GER
tain to make interesting reading Who
can teach it?

Mortimer r. Proctor of Proctor and

iusely Illustrated booklet entitled The
Green Mountain Tour" Its purpose is to
orihg to the attention of the public, both
within and without Vermont, some of this
states secret charms which have thus far
received altogether too little publicity. A
map showing the route of the tour was
made after personal visit by Mr..
Proctor to each of Vermont's GAG cities
and towns. The authors aim has been
to nave the tour reach such parts of the
state as are most interesting not only
from the viewpoint of scenery but also
from industries and historic incidents.
Their work shows that every element has
been given careful consideration. The
trip is designed to take eight days and
suitable stopping places for meals and

PRISON REFORM IN A NUTSHELL.

No sensible person proposes to senti-

the prison by any name you please. yet
prisons of some sort We must have so
long as men commit crime; and that
from present indications, will be for many
generations to come, SO far from setting
men free from prison, | would put more
men in prison than are there now; for We
should send up all who now escape by
the wiles of crooked lawyers. and We
should include the crooked lawyers.
But behind the prison walls We should
relax the iron discipline--the hideous,
degrading, unsuccessful system Of ST.
lence and punishment-and substitute n
system that will he fair to all men, a
limited form OF freedom. and work in
the open mir. The prisoners are men
real men-your brethren and mine. II
you treat them like beasts II will be hard
for them to keep from degenerating into
beasts If you treat them like men you
can help them to rise. If you trust them
they vii. show themselves worthy Of
trust. II YOU place responsibility upon
them they will rise to it,-Thomas Mott
