The Art of Optimism.

Live in the active voice, intent ON
what you can do rather than ON what
happens to you; in the indicative mood,
with facts as they are rather
than as they might be; in the present
tense, concentrated on the duty in
hand without regard for the past or
worry about the future; in the first
person, criticising yourself rather than
condemning others; i'll the singular
number, seeking the approval of your
own conscience rather than popularity
with the many. Whoever lives the life
of such unselfsh devotion to the good
of others and of all and lives it in the
active voice, indicative mood, present
tense, first person, singular number, is
bound to find his life full and rich and
glad and free-is bound, in other words,
to be an optimist.-William De Witt
Hyde.

Vermont's Next Speaker.
darlington Free Press.)


Stanley C. Wilson of Chelsea, who
was ON Tuesday reelected as represen-
tative to the general assembly, has an.
nounced his candidacy for the speaker
ship of the House at the approaching
session. Two years ago, Mr.. Wilson
was candidate for that position, but
at the last moment withdrew from the
contest in the interests of harmony and
seconded the nomination of Judge
Weeks. His action on that occasion
has added dcscrvedly to his popularity
and strength as a candidate.
Mr.. Wilson, who is a lawyer, was
born and raised on farm in the town
of Orange. He was educated at God
dard seminary and Tufts college, and
studied law in Montpelier, where he did
newspaper work to pay his expenses.
He has been in the successful practice
of the law for twelve years, and is re-
garded as an able member of his pro-
fesson. He was an official reporter in
the legislature in 1902 and again in
1904 and state s attorney for Orange
county from 1908 to 1912. In the last
Legislature, he was a member of the
committee ON rules and judiciary and
chairman of the committee on ways
and means, besides serving on several
special committees.
Mr.. Wilson, so far as we have heard
is the only candidate for the speaker
ship of the next house and he will
probably have practically unanimous
election. He has a good voice and
other qualifications which combine to
make him an excellent presiding officer
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1916-12-01

Corrected official returns give Wilson
a plurality of sc in New Hampshire and
Hughes a plurality of 800 in Mime
sofa. Pluralities of this scant size are
decidedly too close for comfort. The
results are encouraging in one way, as
they indicate a disposition on the part
of voters to think for themselves and
to vote for candidates and not for party
emblems. They are also warning to
the men who say "my single vote will
make no difference. The stay-at- homes
in one good sized town in New Hamp-
shire could have swung the vote the
other way.

BUYS RED CROSS SEALS.
Governor Starts Sale in Vermont at Re-
quest of Chairmen of Committee -
Women's Clubs to Cooperate.

At the request of Mrs. II. B. Stone,
chairman of the Red Cross seal commit
tee of the Vermont Association for the
Prevention of Tuberculosis, Governor
Gates has started the sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals in Vermont by buying
the first 100 seals sold in the state this
season. In response to Mrs. Stone s
request the Governor said: 81 am en-
closing my check for the first hundred
Christmas seals issued by the Vermont
Association for the Prevention of Tu-
berculosis. | most heartily approve of
the purpose of the organization, and
wish you success in your efforts to
combat the dreaded disease, tubercu-
losis, in Vermont -
In addition TO the endorsement of
the governor, the Vermont Federation
of Women s clubs has decided to aban-
don the sale of its special seal this
year and urge all of the affiliated clubs
to push the sale of the Red Cross seal
In most of the towns members of the
clubs will have charge of the local
sale. Mrs. III. r. Brown, president OF
the BTattleboro Woman s club, has
been asked to appoint a manager for
Brattleboro.
4hOicoNCi luOSi VI tit buoihSSo my" -
organizations of the state have endorsed
the sale of the seals and promised to
cooperate in making it big success.
There is an extra interest in the sale
this year because for the first time
Vermont has an active organization for
the prevention of tuberculosis.
After n careful study of conditions
in the state the association has mapped
ottf of 70 fnr ff.l
sumption, which has been endorsed by
the leading physicians and the welfare
workers of the state. The returns from
the Red Cross seals will determine how
much of the program can be put into
actual operation.

1t is pleasing to note so many big
concerns increasing wages to operatives
in factories. The w. II. McElwain com
pany, manufacturers of shoes, has made
a general wage advance of 10 per cent.
This affects 5000 hands in Manchester,
n. H., alone and several thousand in
Nashua, Newport and Claremont, the
total additional amount to be paid out
amounting to $450,0O0 a month. Brat
tleboro is pleased to extend congratu-
lations to Claremont and Newport, two
towns which have been our warm rivals

In the 64th congress, which will con

the first week in March, the Democrats
will undoubtedly endeavor to enact sew
eral important bills into law. They will
have a chance to do something in the
next three months, having control OF
the presidency and both branches Of
congress, but after March 4 they will
lose control of the house, and will there
fore not have everything to say in Sc.

President does not call the 65th con-
gress in session the first week in March

Considering that deer hunting in We

Considering that deer hunting in Yer
mont the last two weeks in November
was restricted to bucks the showing was
remarkable, the returns up to Tues
day showing total of 1,022 shot, with
more than two weeks of the open sea-
son left. Last year, when deer were
shot, the number slain in the state was
well above the 5000 mark. In fact
more deer were killed in Vermont last
year, considering area, than in Maine.
This year Windham county again gives
the largest returns, 146, Washington
county being second with 1873. The
figures from other counties were as fol
lows Addison GA, Bennington 81, Gale
donia "A, Chittenden 33, Essex Ill,
Franklin 90, Grand Isle 0, Lamoille SO,
Orange go, Orleans AZ, Rutland Ill,
Windsor Ill. The increase in the nun.
Der of deer in the state is remarkable,
when it is considered that the beauti-
full animals had been entirely extermi-
mated with the exception of Essex coun-
ty at the time when a few sportsmen
bought from other states a small herd
which was liberated in the mountains
east of Rutland.

This 40cents-a-dayliv which is
being so widely exploited in Chicago,
is twaddle-nothing more. The price
includes only food, nothing being al
lowed for the expense of cooking and
serving the various dishes. There are
thousands of households all over the
country where families are well nour-
ished on wholesome and appetizing food
far below the figures which are being
quoted in Chicago. a family of five
persons-man, wife and three children
if fed at cost of 40 cents a day
each would require SO a day or S14 a
week for food alone. Any thrifty
housewife can beat the Chicago expert
ment block.

Consolidation Advocated.
(St. Johnsbury Caledonian.)

Some newspapers call the sugges-
ton that the state treasurer collect the
revenues of the state an attempt to
get Tax Commissioner Plumleys politi-
cal scalp. There is no thought of that.
1t is simply a suggestion in the interest
of economy. We do not believe it nee
essary to keep a man and large force
Of stenographers and clerks at work
the year around to properly assess the
property of public service corpora
tions. That work could be properly
done by the state treasurer and 1t
should be. A big reduction in expenses
could be effected there without reduc'
ing the revenue of the state a cent.

Pretty reliable information comes
that the incoming legislature will 60
after Charles A. Plumley's political
head as state tax commissioned. The
reason will be put up that the state
treasurer can do the work, and thus
effect saving in the expense of the
Office of state tax commissioners. But
the real reason is that Mr. Plumley
must be punished for his activity in
supporting Ex-Governor Fletcher for
the United States senate. 1t will be in.

commodations several years. The hotel at
the southern end was burned and the
Willoughby House at the northern end
has changed hands two or three times
since it was sold by Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
ry Gilman, who conducted it a long
time successfully. Charles S. Foster of
st. Johnsbury, hotel man of large ex-
perience, has recently bought it, will
enlarge it during the winter and fit it
with modern conveniences such as hot
and cold running water in the rooms
and connecting baths and electric light
and in addition will buy a power
boat and good row boats for the use of
the guests. He will be ready to open
the hostlery for the fishing season next
spring and to keep it open until late in
the fall. He ought to do paying bust
ness which will also please his guests
and induce them to return many times

loughby ought to obtain the rating it
deserves as one of the most popular

TRUST COMPANY RESOURCES.
Enormous Increase in This Country
Brings Present Total to Figure Ex-
ceeding S7,eoo,Ooo 900.

The 18th annual edition of Trust
Companies of the United States, issued
by the United States Mortgage e. Trust
Co., New York, is being distributed. In
the preface, President John w. Platten
says:
"The trust companies of the United
States during the year just closed have
had exceptional opportunities for SER
vice to the financial and commercial in
terests of this country and to foreign
nations as well. The problems incident
TO the new position of the trust com
panies in world affairs have been met
and solved with courage, while the bust
ness openings resulting therefrom have
been awaited of with enterprise and
good Judgment. A noteworthy increase
in the business of acceptances, both
foreign and domestic, the establishment
of well equipped departments for the
handling of foreign transactions, espec-
tally with Central and South America,
and liberal participations in foreign
loans, are all deserving of special men
ton. The work of unifying and improv-
ing existing laws for the safeguarding
of the interests of these companies and
their clients is progressing satsfacto
rily, while the administration of corpor-
ate and private trusts in ever increas
ing volume is continually evidenced.
"When it is considered that the ag-
gregate of trust company resources re-
ported during the year increased 81 ,300,-
100000 and now totals over $7,600,000,-
600, the vital and growing Importance
of the part played by trust companies
in national and intern ttional affairs
will be fully realized and these institu-
tions continue TO receive 'leservedly
increasing measure of recognition and
support.
The statements of 1887 trust compan-
les are contained in the book in add
ton to lists of officers and directors
stock quotations, dividend rates, ETC.
while the names of 50 companies are
shown that did not render report fol
publication thus making total OF
2,032 trust companies listed.
just five years ago the aggregate re
sources of these companies reported il
this compilation were So, l6S, 600, 900
showing an increase of AZ per cent fol
all trust companies in the United
States. The showing of trust company
growth in the following states is inter
csting; the figures in each instanc,

the Camel S Hump tract of 1900 acres
for addition to the state forest reserves.
This makes $500 acres owned on the
