shall be done when they are obliged
to buy more coal. Therefore they feel
they should not be expected to drop
the retail price although there has
been a reduction in wholesale prices.
The following from the Springfield
Republican is interesting in discussing
the coal problem:
1t is good to get reassuring word
about the coal situation from an in
dependent source. An Office corre-
spondent of the New York Times, who
has been studying things in Pennsyl-
vania, agrees with what the coal deal
ers have been telling us. This inves-
tigator made wide survey of the hard
coal fields and the best evidence leads
him to believe that there Is not at
present any anthracite coal famine,
nor does one impend. The resources
OF the Pennsylvania golfers, which
produce nearly all the hard coal used
in the United States, are ample t.
meet the demands of the winter. Only
senseless, panic-stricken overouying
on the part of the public can furnish
justification for extreme prices" 1t
is for the people to possess their souls
in patience. and for the dealers to put
a ban on overbuyiD%.

brought against the village of Hard
wick by E. N. Sanctuary, for excavat-

he constructed the dam above the
village power-house at Pottersville,
two years ago. The contract was

of the dam to rock bottom, according
to soundings and drawings made. In
the progress of the work pocket Of
considerable proportions was found in
the rock bed of the river, which was
not found at the tine of sounding.
When the contract was made the vii
lage authorities provided for just such
a contingency, having in mind other
suits for recovery of a similar kind.
and it remains to be seen what the
outcome will be.

News advices from Bellows Falls
indicate that a bill requiring five days
notice before the granting of marriage
license will be introduced at the next
session Of the legislature. This action
will come as the result of vote Of the
Bellows Falls Woman's club. adopting
the following resolution:
Believing that the existing Vermont
laws, regulating the issuing of mar
riage licenses are inadequate and In
their application have a tendency to
cheaper, ridicule and lessen the re-
spect for a sacred relation, we hereby
resolve that we are in favor of law
similar to laws in neighboring states,
requiring a five days notice before a
marriage license can be issued; and
we petition the representative to the
General Assembly from the town of
Rockingham and the senators from
the county of Windham to use their
influence and effort to secure the pas
sage of such a law by the next General
Assembly Of the state of Vermont.
We can. see no reason why any cou-
pie cannot wait five days after the ap-
plicatiOn for a marriage license before
one is to be granted. 1t certainly
would not wrong any young people
seeking legitimate marriage in re-
spectacle way. 1t would prevent the
officers and clergymen of Vermont
from making a traffic of marriage as
has been done in the town of Bellows
Falls. There have been 1888 marriages
performed in Bellows Falls since the
first of January, and about 700 of
them have been couples from outside
Vermont. OF course some of these
may have been the marriage of re-
spectacle young people, but it is no
credit to the state that it has allowed
the greater majority of these unions
to be made within its borders.
The news story concerning this mat
ter states that the local catholic priest |
in Bellows Falls refused to perform
any marriages unless the young peo-
pie had the consent in writing of their |
parish priest This Bellows Falls
priest has set an example that minis
tiers of other denominations might |
follow with great credit to themselves. |
We hope that traffic in marriages will |
be stopped by the next legislature.

price ($s.26 delivered with 25 cents
of for cash) that it was sold here be-
fore the rises in wholesale price be-

A petition signed by 1000 repre-
sentatives of the brain power of the
nation is to be presented to the Eng
lish government shortly asking that
the sale of alcohol be prohibited in
that country. This is one more YER
dict against alcohol and indicates
that it will soon be placed under the
ban by all society. Medical science
has declared it has no medicinal value
and industrial and military authorl.
tiles recognize it as a detriment to
individual effectiveness. With all this
opposition to it we cannot understand
why men persist in the use of it. II
simply means their final elimination in
the great economic contest of the age.
