There has been a whole lot of wet
weather over this way this season, but
we've got better use for our mud than
to throw it at Senator Page and try to
make political capital in an attempt to
besmear his record and the record of his
bank at Hyde Park. Probably no bank
in New England has lost less and made
more or attempted to serve its homecon-
stituency better. Let's be fair in our
treatment of candidates, even if the
weather man prophesies cloudiness and
storm.-St, Johnsbury Republican.
The Mountain rule" will not cut much
ice in the senatorial contest. The bulk
of the voters do not take any interest in
an imaginary line drawn in the interest
of few men who hope to hold some
state office. AS a matter of fact the
mountain rule" is convenient without
being very important. The is that Hyde
Park is geographically on the east side
of the state and is only politically" on
the west side. During the past ten years
the growth of the state has been great
est on the west side of the mountain
range and if the presentdecade maintains
the average Hyde Park may be trans
ferred politically" to the east side.
This is not important except as showing
on how small foundation the mighty
mountain rule bennington Banner.
This paper feels that the best interests
of the State will be conserved in the re-
tention of Senator Carroll s. Page at

Expectation of Life

Naturally people are anxious to know
how long they car live, or more par
ticularly they are anxious to live as
long as they can. 1t is urged in behalf of
scientific and medical progress that the
average life in this country is growing
longer. 1t is entirely within the bounds
to say that people of ninety or even one
hundred years of age are more common
than ever before.
These are observations made after a
study of statistics published by Director
Rogers Of the United States Census Blu
reau with reference to life in New En-
gland, New York, New Jersey, Indiana,
Michigan and District of Columbia.
From this it appears that a boy baby
at its birth has an average expectation
of 400 years and that girl baby has an
average expectation of $50. The whites
have a better chance than the blacks,
since for males the expectation is 500
years and for females $3.50 years. The
expectation of life is much greater when
a child is year old thanit is at its birth,
and the reason assigned why women live
longer than men is that the latter are
much more exposed to violent death.
The expectation of life is higher in rural
districts than in the cities by seven years.
Accordingly the country is more desir-
able place for residence than the city.

The Italian royal family is known to
