been formed here. with a capital OF
;1,000,00O. to widen Edgmont avenue be-
tween Sd and 9th streets, making 1t one
of the principal business streets, with a
width OF so feet. This will divert much
business from Market street, which Is mar
row and almost impossible to widen be-
cause Of the excessive price of real estate.
Virtually all property needed for the
widening OF the thoroughfare has been ac-
quired by the promoters, all Of whom are

The Forthcoming City Meeting.

Editor Barre Times | notice, witt
regrets. that Mayor Gordon's warning for
the next city meeting Friday evening has
not appeared in the usual places. IN
stead Of being posted as usual, on the
billboard in the corridor of the city hall
the warning has been pinned to the door
of the city courtroom, where very few
people, if any, are likely to see H.
Instead too. OF being published as
usual. on page |, 4 or $ of The Times,
tho warning has appeared only on page
7, where il is less apt to be seen.
Now, it may be that this advertising
of the coming city meeting answers the
technicslities of the law but is it quite
Just to the voters Of the city? Proba
bly, not one in fifty of them has seen
the warning or knows anything about
the meeting.
Therefore, Mayor Gordon would now
no doubt much please the public by caus-
ing his warning to be published forth
with on the front page of The Times,
where all may be likely to see it. This
might cost a dollar or SO extra, hut is
that any objection? city meeting is
exceptionally important. 1t involves the
matter Of creating an additional city
debt to the extent OF not less than one
hundred thousand dollHrs To say that
this is not important enough To warrant
the expenditure of an extra dollar in ad
yertising would seem very much like
straining Mt one dollar gnat and swat
lowing a one hundred thousand dollar
camel.

meeting was to consider plans incident

bolt spoke briefly on what the organi-
zation should be and the method in which
the work might be taken up. Thomas
Bradlee. director OF the state extension
service, explained rather more fully
about the need ow having such an organ
ization in a community and made yari-
Gus good suggestions.
A discussion ensued as to whether the
work had better be taken up in the
grange. BIZ the Cow Testing association
or by organizing farmers club. A vote
OF those present decided that the latter
plan was the most feasible and W !. Alb

Rear Admiral Peary has announced
that he viii not run for senator from
Vermont. He has been informed that
the atmosphere of the upper house is too
cold even for an Arctic hero.-New York
Sun land Press.
We are gratifed to be informed at this
time when senatorial ambition seems TO
be enguling so many people that Rear
Admiral Peary is planning to keep his
head and will not take Vermont by
storm, so to speak, making the start Of
his drive in the state Of Maine. We
have heard of men from other states who
had the design OF being elected senator
from Vermont but none on such short
residence as Rear Admiral Peary will be
able to claim through a few hours stay
at Montpelier while attending the Great
er Vermont association meeting next
week
As a matter OF fact we are inclined to
suspect that the rush Of combining two
metropolitan newspapers has confused
the editorial idea Of New England ceoc
raphy to a remarkable degree. Maine
might be jealous were Vermont to claim
Rear Admiral Pesry.

Der $4,000 are regulars and, therefore
ready to 90 into the toughest of fighting
while the militia are defending the Ions
border line. The people of the Unite'
States are beginning to breathe easier
over the situation, not 80 much because
Carranza has aequiesced in the United
States demand for release OF the Amer
lean prisoners, but because OF the arrival
of numerous force OF armed men near
the seat OF trouble and because OF the
increase Of that border patrol from day
to day as the militia forces become
equipped for a campaign, The arrival OF
these latter troops releases $4,000 men OF
the standing army for Immediate dis.
patch into Mexico should the occasion
require; and such a force should be able
TO cope, in open warfare, with a number
of Mexicans considerably larger because
Of better equipment. more effective weap-
Gus and much greater financial resources
back of them. For that reason the peo.
pie of the Unhed States view the situa
ton with far greater peace of mind
and, conversely, Carranza and his gen
erals must be more alarmed over their
own chances should the negotiations come
to an open break. At last, the United
States government is in position toI
ak to Carranza with some degree OF
assurance.

by Gen. H. A. Green on the way in which
its camp had been laid out. with view
to taking sanitary precautions mas
much as the Vermont troops will prob
ably be required to remain on the border
for several months it will be necessary
for the health of the regiment that the
best sanitary methods be followed from
the very outset. That such precautions
have been taken and that the Vermonters
have what gives evidence Of being a mod
ell camp is good news to the people at
home, who know that diseases incident
to army camp life are among the great
est dangers that soldiers are called upon
to meet. The relatives and friends OF
the boys at the front will feel more as
surance now that they are informed of
the good arrangements provided through
the ar-sightedness of the regimental off

hear of a minimum of camp diseases

All Vermont is guessing who the for
mer governor is who offered to advance
money for extra payments to the Yer
mont soldiers who have gone into the
service of their country, taking chance
that the next legislature will reimburse
him. and thus avoiding the expense to
the state of calling the legislature in ex
ira session at this time. Our first an
swer would be John Abner Mead This
may not be right, but the Rutland man
has shown such a disposition to be of aid
to his community, the institutions of the
state and the state itself that il would
be Just like him to have something help

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Advocates Tuberculosis sanatOrium

Advocates tuberculosis Sanatorlum.
Editor, Barre Times Some time aga
meeting OF the Board of Trade was helC
and wish to express my sincere appre
citation of Mr.. Smiths topic, which should
lproye valuable to the citizens of Barre Il
learefully analysed Now as member OF
the Board OF Trade you will recall that
| briefly outlined the proposition OF hay
ling sanatorum in Barre and Thought
TOT submitting a letter TO you IN order to
make my idea clearer.
When ! came TO Barre % years ago and
for Is years afterward a large train OF
Immigrants came to Barre each spring
and the greater number OF them formed
families and have resided here since, As
their sons grew up, the parents saw that
lmany of the stonecutters were dying al
| Tuberculosis, and the fear of the disease
caused them TO prohibit their offspring
from learning the granite trade in any
way, shape or manner. The boys them
selves soon began to ignore the granite
trade and migrated to other cities in
search of employment For example, my
son refused to become n granite cutter;
the Wishart brothers, whose father was
a granite cutter. have found other en-
| ployment and Mr. Macksy's sons have
followed types of employment other than
the granite trade.
Thus it is plainly evident that in order
to maintain the granite trade in Barre
we must depend on European boys who
knock at Uncle Sans door for employ
ment. | have sufficient proof that the
people in many granite centers of Amer
lea as well as Europe, are calling Barre
a "human cemetery Mdny OF them are
driven to this belief through death stats
tics which show so many cases of tuber-
ailosis while others simply 60 by what
they hear
The tuberculosis, which has been raw
aging Barre, is not hereditary disease
and may be cured if taken well care OF III
its first stages. Years ago DR.. j. Henry
Jackson told me that many OF the cut
tiers in Barre were dying simply because
they had no means TO care for the dis
case, and this lack of a sanatorium
caused tie spread Of the disease and in
the end would prove disastrous to the
welfare of our city.
Therefore. | recommend that com
mittee of five. consisting OF doctor, a
LAWYER, granite manufactures, mer- |
chant and a granite cutter, be formed to I
the conditions and make a re
port to the Board OF Trade so that a
may be started Immediately I
With the aid of medical advice they I
should choose proper spot for such
project and whenever a person is afflicted
with the symptoms of tuberculosis let
him be taken where he may have a
chance to recover and prevent the further
spread OF the disease
Let rs unite, then, under one standard
and help save Barre's people and reputa
ton the largest granite center in the
world
