lacking the Wilson policy of refusing to
warn Americans off the commerce ships
OF belligerent nations. While it would
not be entirely accurate to accuse this
McLemore of inconsistency, it is proper
to say that things look different on a
near view from Texas to Mexico than
they do in a far squint across the ocean.
McLemore was against war with Ger
many; he apparently doesn't care some
tens of thousands of soldiers whether we
have war with Mexico or not as long as
his own backdoor is protected. However,
in his present position McLemore will
find far greater support than he did in
the introduction Of the previous resolu-
tion which had a tendency TO handicap
the president very greatly in his negotia-
tions with Germany.

Boy Joy-Riders on the Railroads.

A Boston & Maine railroad man was
saying the other day that it is becoming
favorite trick with boys to steal long
railroad trips by passenger trains. Par
ties Of boys will set out to see the world
and travel on the tops of cars or secrete
themselves ON the trucks The story is
told that one day a few boys got so
caught on a truck that train had to be
uncoupled to release them.
This kind of thing Is one OF the many
modern instances Of loose family disci-
pine TO a rowing and restless type Of
boy, there is something very fascinating
about railroad life. He hangs around
stations when he should be running err
rands for his mother.
Some day he tries his experiences at
"hopping freights" A few years after
that he is the legged youth who is
seeking to make an honest" living sell
ing lead pencils. Boys should be kept
away from the railroads, as place
where there are many perils of life and
limb. Also it is a place where tramps
and Migrants entice many young fellows
to adopt wandering career.--White Riv-

GOOD PUBLICITY FOR VERMONT.

A revised edition of the booklet yer
mont Farms" has just been issued by the
Vermont bureau of publicity, it having
been prepared largely by Walter H.
Crockett, who is engaged in furthering
the interests Of Vermont through this
agency The new volume is devoted to
the various phases OF farm life in Yer
mont and, while necessarily brief in or
der to command the attention desired, it
sets forth the advantages Of agricultural
life in the Green Mountain state in so
attractive manner that much good is
bound to result frcn the effort. II i. Of
course truthful aud accurate to the last
degree, because Vermont has no desire,
and feels no necessity, to attract people
to Vermont under false pretenses, and
the figures included may be depended
upon to set forth the real conditions.
For instance, it shows in tabulations
that Vermont leads the country in ratio
of dairy COWS to population, first in per
capita value Of specified dairy products
sold by farmers in 1909 FIRST in pounds
Of butter per capita. first in pounds Of
butter per farm. first in the average
number Of pounds Of butter per COW, first
in the per capita value Of dairy cows. etc.
The volume contains. for the first time.
some visible proofs Of Nernont's prog
ress IN agricultural lines in the shape Of
Photographic reproductions Of animals
told about heretofore merely by figures
and words These pictures are BY no
means tie least attractive feature q the

FORMER MONTPELIER TEACHER
Mrs. Thomas E. Boyee Died At Her Home
in MiddIebury.

! Middlebury, April l5.--Mrs. Thomas
E. Boyce, wife of Prof. Thomas E. Boyce,
died at her home on Elm street Thurs
| day evening about 1890 o'clock. Mrs.
Boyee had been i'll with typhoid fever
for about two weeks, following the sick
ness of both Prof. Boyce and his son,
Eugene. From the first attack her i'll
ness had been more severe than that of
the Others and alarming symptoms APP
peared during the last few days
Mrs. Boyce was born in Weybridge and
was the daughter of Calvin and Charlotte
liagar Norton. She attended Middlebury
high school and the Potsdam, N. Y, Nor
NAL school. She was a teacher in the
public schools, holding positions in Mid
dlebury Montpelier, Littleton, N. H.,
and Manchester, Mass. Her work was
in the kindergarten and primary grades,
in which she was very successful. Her
first teaching experience was when she
was IL years OF age.
Some ten years ago she married Prof.
BOyce and came to live in this village.
She was active in the Congregational
church, especially in the Sunday school,
serving as superintendent OF the pri-
mary department. She was an efficient
leader in such work Last summer she
assisted in the management of Bread

FAvoRS CONSOLIDATION
As Solution of the Present Troubles of
the Railroads.

Rutland, April l5.-Speaking before
the mems club of the Congregational
church last evening, w. B. c. Stickney
expressed the opinion that the reasonable
solution of the present difficulties of the
railroads lies in consolidation judiciously
regulated, with legislation not too I'M
compromising and unreasonable.
Mr.. Stickney traced the history OF
American railroads and especially of New
England railroads and those in Vermont
the latter now controlled by the Rutland
Central Vermont and Boston g. Maine
corporations all in competition. Com
petition, he said, might be mischievous
and consolidation might be demanded by
the needs for continuous service.
As an example, he observed that two
single track roads through the same ter
ritory was wastefui application
of the public resources, as one
double track road would serve the needs
OF the public better. He referred to the
celebrated Brattleboro case, in which it
was sought to obtain permission to dou
Bile track the line from Windsor to Yer
non, but which aroused bitter opposition,
so that it had to be abandoned and, in
stead. an investment of not to exceed
100000, construction to the amount OF
over 100000 had to be undertaken.

CONSUMPTION IN CANADA?
Volunteer System Is Said To Be Not Eff
fective Enough.

Ottawa, Ont, April l5.---National reg
istration with a view to some form OF
CONSUMPTION was urged on Premier Rob
ert Borden and members of his cabinet
/ yesterday by delegation representing
AZ recruiting leagues of Ontario, the mar
thine province and the West. They told
the premier that the present voluntary
system was not getting enough men and
that those who were coming forward
were those citizens whom Canada could
least spare. There was too large pro.
portion OF married men, they said, when
it was considered that every married
soldier cost the country $37 month
more than single man.
The premier in reply did not commit
the government to any expression OF
views as to the merits either Of compul
sion or the voluntary system but re-
minded the delegation that there had so
far been no lack of recruits since men
were coming forward at the rate of 1000
day He admitted that there were loop
holes for the economic waste in the sys-
tenn of voluntary enlistment, but said
that the government had been endeavor-
ing to arrange that men be drawn as far
as possible from the industries which
could best afford TO spare them He
promised earnest consideration of the
delegations representations.

IN ONE FAMILY 126 YEARS.
Fairfield Farm Has Been Owned by the
Sturges People.

4
Fairfield, April l5.--The stories which
have appeared in the state papers during
the past few weeks regarding the oecu-
paney and ownership of farms by the
same family for several generations,
have brought out the fact that in the
north part of this town is farm which
has been owned and occupied by the
Sturges family for three generations, a
total of 1875 years.
In 1900 Ezra Sturges of Southport,
Conn, located on large tract of land
lying on either side of the Black creek
in the north section of the town A large
part of this farm is owned by the family
yet. Gilbert Sturges, son of Ezra. had
a large farm from part Of the original
lands. Later Gilbert Sturges' son, Noah.
owned the farm, and now the grandson.
Rev 4. II. Sturges, owns and looks after
the property. Another part of the origi
nal farm has always been in the family
OF Ezra Sturges' daughter, Mrs. Grace
(Sturgesl Faire4aild. Rev Mr.. Sturges
is Methodist Episcopal clergyman, To-
Gated at Cnderhill, in this state
In looking up the ancestors Of the
Sturges family recently, it was traced
back to 100, the original name being
De Turges. William De Turges, Nor
man Crusader was granted a coat Of
arms about that time and draft of the
coat of arms was sent to the granddaugh-
ter of Ezra Sturges when she was look
ing up the family ancestry.

carranza's Withdrawal Proposal.

General CarranZa's proposal that the
United States forces be withdrawn from
Mexico was sure to be encountered in
the event Of continued failure TO capture
Villa. If it were true that the forces
OF the de facto government in northern
Mexico were strong enough to take up
and push relentlessly and tirelessly the
pursuit of the now scattered Villa bands,
the early withdrawal OF the Pershing ex-
petition would be justified, probably,
even with Villa himself still at large.
The campaign has developed into sort
of man hunt, which inevitably requires
time for its success and an organization
different from that OF a broadly con
ceived punitive expedition designed to pa
city whole country.
There must be limit under existing
to the southwark march OF
the American troopers. The feeling has
been prevalent that adequate co-opera-
ton was not being secured from the Car
rama forces. Possibly this weakness in
the campaign could be remedied if the
American columns were with
drawn to a wide zone neared the inter
national boundary into which Villa and
his followers might be gradually driven.
The general effect of such cooperation
might be excellent in Kidding the country
Of the bandits that now infest it. The
clash at Parral between United States
soldiers and Mexican civilians is re-
hinder of the risks OF an indefinitely oS
tended and prolonged penetration of the
These are elements in the sitd-
alton which doubtless alarm General Car
ANA and force him, perhaps, 10 seek
or the carly withdrawal Of the Ameri
an forces.
So long as villa bands are at large and
villa himself is uncaptured, the complete
withdrawal OF the United States forces |
: not to be expected. General Carran-
a may negotiate for their retirement, 1
,ut he must put up with their presence /
N Mexican soil until the outlook l. 1
learer than il is to-day. Meanwhile the
ursuit. ii energetically conducted on I
10Th sides, may soon yield substantial 1
esults.- Springfield Republican.

CURRENT COMMENT
Suggestions to Office Seekers.

You viii find if you aspire for political
Office this year, especially in Vermont,
that it matters little whether this promi-
nent man or that prominent man favors
your candidacy. What Office seekers need
to know is how all the voters feel, which
means a house to house canvass, proceed
first by liberal newspaper advertising
telling how smart you are, what great
reform movements you favor, etc, ETC.

A WOEFUL SITUATION.

An additional army of $4,000 men is
imperatively needed on the Mexican bor-
der, a part to be sent into Mexico to pro-
tect the small but fighting band of United
States soldiers already there; but the
United States must confess that it has
not $4,000 more men under arms to send
to the southern boundary. The entire
nation Hhs been almost stripped of its
fighting force already to permit small
expeditionary force TO enter foreign
country in search OF a bandit and like
number to police the boundary lying be-
tween the two nations. Is not that a
woeful confession which the United
States has to make? Suppose it was not
Mexico but a frst-rate power which was
opposing us what would we do? What
could we do? Simply wait for an army
Of volunteers to be trained to supple
ment the regular army and the state mi
Iitia. Meanwhile an energetic enemy
would be reducing the United States into
pulverized stone, brick, wood and glass,
to say nothing of the sacrifice OF Ameri
AN lives who, by the way, would be non
,ombatants.
