WHEN THE ROBINS NEST AGAIN.

song still rippled on, and he looked
up into the trees to wonder how the
little songsters could carol such gay
springtime melody when love and
the joy of living had died within

Then across the seas there comes
the plaintive memory of little Madam
butterfly. who waited patiently
through the bleak, barren winter for
the spring to come when the robins
would nest again. Then would the
Honorable Lieutenant Pinkerton
come back to her, for he had prom
ised her this, and the little trusting
heart of her had believed him.
But summer had gone, the robins
had nested, raised their little bird
lings and flown away-but still he
did not come.
Honorable Mr.. Consul" Madam
Butterfly asked, hoping against hope
that perhaps away from Japan the
robins did not nest in the spring, but
raised their birdlings in the fall, "tel
me when in that United States dc

VICTORY FOR TEMPERANCE

The outcome of the vote on the
Perry bill is splendid victory for
the cause of temperance.
After hearing the arguments on both
sides most fully the Vermont voters
have decided that they do not want to
go back to prohibition and the decis
ion is so overwhelming that the pro
hibition agitators should go way back
and keep still.
Vermont had prohibition for fifty
years and during that time the state
did not gain in population or business.
Over 60 per cent of the towns actual
ly decreased in population and in in
dustrial enterprise. Rum, hypocrisy
and corruption were rampant and vice
was not abated.
Vermont then changed to local OPP
ton and the great bulk of the towns
found that 1t gave them better control
of the situation. The population and
business Of the state began to increase
and the number of license towns was
gradually reduced from 90 to IA.
Under these circumstances it was
natural that the voters of Vermont
should support local option under
which actual temperance progress had
been made instead of returning to the
abstract theory of prohibition which
fifty years experience had shown to be
a failure in Vermont.

grades-they cannot produce news
print at price the newspapers can
afford to pay. Compare the cost of
making wrapping paper and news
stock with the selling price and the
profit. A ton of sulphite for wrap
ping paper costs sos, and they get
for it something like $17O a ton-if
sold in car lots. Wrapping paper is
produced unbleached and uncolored,
and therefore, the expense of manu-
facture is less. The difference in
profits is apparent to all. It takes two
pounds of dye to color a ton of
paper. Formerly the dye
costs rs cents a pound. Now it is
worth SIS, and, because of the in
crease, the question of profit must
be considered on that sum, also,
which would make 1000 pounds of
colored wrapping paper, worth in the
of $185 or $19O.
