WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Barre Does Not See This.

WhAl HE fAfENS OA1.
Barre Does Not See This.
Congressman Dale is so well known
in his own district that twill be long
time before aspirants for his shoes
will need to worry about the success
sion The trouble with some people
is that Congressman Dale refuses to
wear a collar, and that is the very
reason why Vermont needs to keep
him in ongress.-Burlington Free
Press.
He Handled Mexican Situation So
Well.
President Wilson has handled the
Mexican situation so well in the past
three and one-half years that it is
necessary to keep over 100000 sol
diers on this side of the border to
protect the lives and property of the
| border jewellers. Then there are the
Americans murdered and their prop
erty in Mexico destroyed as back
ground of the present scene.-Brat-
tleboro Reformer.
Cooperation Pays Well.
What cooperation on the part of
|
shown at Randolph Center, where two
years ago a Potato Growers associa-
ton was formed. The farmers sought
and obtained special information
concerning the raising of potatoes,
have cared for the crop intelligently
and are now rewarded with good
| harvest considering the unfavorable
season. Better still, they are again
marketing their product in coopera-
ton and selling to a special custom
er of Long Island, who is glad to
pay them $125 per bushel at the car
for the 2,4OO bushels they have this
week delivered.-Randolph Herald
and News.
Times Is Wrong.
The Barre Times complains that
Congressman Dale is unknown in his
district to most people. Perhaps, in
Washington county, because that
county had a candidate and he kept
out of his field, during the canvass.
Reliable information leads us to be-
lieve he is the best known congress-
man the second district ever had, as
he spent nine months visiting from
county and getting personally ac-
quainted with the voters. That is
why the Barre candidate was defeat
ed Since then it has been Congress-
man Dale's business to attend to his
duties at Washington. 1t is none of
our funeral, but the Times is wrong
) in it's conclusions.-Mo Mes
Senger.
The Day of Combines.
These are days of important chang
es in big industries in Vermont. A
few months ago the Fairbanks scale
works, which have really made ST.
Johnsbury, passed to the control of
Chicago capitalists Then the Howe
Scale company of Rutland was sold,
', the deal involving $1,000,O00. The
> question has naturally arisen in Rut-
, land whether the big plant might not
= be moving elsewhere eventually, but
assurance is given that it will remain
: in the Marble city for a number of
years at least, and ex-Gov Mead,
who has been the head and front of
the concern for years, is to remain
= with it three years. This week comes
: the surprising announcement that
the Cooper manufacturing company
q at Bennington, with capital stock OF
half million dollars, giving employ
1llCitC W iOV 1ic4AlNto, 1iclS DSS1l SOld W q
7 western syndicate, known as the
q Black Cat Textiles company, which
: has also acquired in Kenosha, Wis, 6
r hosiery concern with a capital OF
100000 employing 1,40O hands. L
is to be hoped that these changes will
not affect the industrial standing Of
the communities where they have beer
the center of business life, and tina
/ in their absorption by bigger inter
ests they will not wholly lose thei1
: individuality. We presume this lat
: ter wish is too much to expect
r Probably the personal element will
be removed in any case, and that thu
concerns, instead of standing indie
pendently, will simply become cog,
