Land has been made on the Vernon,

thrrr, on which both States have at.
tempted to collect taxes. To which
do the taxes belong A great indus
trial dam has flooded Vermont mead
ows in and above Vernon and Rrattlc-
boro. Does that flooded land now be-
long 10 New Hampshire, and will il 90
back to Vermont again as soon as the
water is drawn of ?
Questions like these, all Of which
are founded upon actual conditions or
occurrences, suggest the impossibllity
Of maintaining that kind Of boundary
between American States. No doubt
the Supreme Court, being governed by
scrupulous respect for the letter Of the
law, will be inclined TO defend the au-
thority Of the dead hand Of England's
king, but it will certainly devolve up
on the court to provide, II possible,
some other sort Of boundary between
tie States than q movable one. 1t
would be a strange thing II the court
should give territorial authority TO
New Hampshire over manufacturing
establishments which have been erect
ed within the accepted limits of Yer
mont towns, simply because a portion
Of a river bank has in the process of
time been filled in.
Boundary questions between States
Of the Union have frequently arisen,
and they have been settled amicably in
all cases. Massachusetts has gained
land from Rhode Island, and some of
that land, being in the city Of Fall
River, is very valuable. There is, in
deed, scarcely boundary between the
States which has not been affected by
controversies. But American States
settle such controversies quite peace
ably in all cases. New Hampshire and
Vermont will not go to war,--Boston

A SHIFTING STATE BOUNDARY

The Supreme Court OF the United
States has on hand difficult question
in the settlement of the boundary line
between New Hampshire and Yer
mont. Arriving somewhat late on the
scene, the new State of Vermont had
10 accept, in 1871, the boundary which
he King of England had accommodate
ingly set for New Hampshire, namely,
the western bank Of the Connecticut
River The fixing of the bank Of
any stream, as a border, instead of the
middle Of the main current, wherever
that may flow, is always productive Of
trouble and dispute, for the banks Of
streams often change, and the ques-
ton must arise whether the boundary
changes with them Ali islands in the
Connecticut, opposite her territory, be-
long 10 New Hampshire. But islands
have become joined to the Vermont
mainland. Do they by this process
become a part Of Vermont? The cur
rent has shifted so as to convert into
an island what has been part Of the
Vermont mainland Does that shift
the territory into New Hampshire ?

suffice to show that as rule the

enced members, for most of the
men who rank close to the chair
men are old-timers. The same
thing holds good with reference
to members of the minority. As

their twenty-fourth year, are the

vice have the high places.
mo man should be elected to
the House simply to crafty his
ambition. All members should
be elected for the good of the

What Speaker Clark says of
the House may be said with
equal force as to the Senate.
Gallinger, chairman of the min
ority, has seen twenty-five years
service in the Senate; Lodge,
ranking member of the Foreign
Relations Committee, twenty
three years; Clark, Warren, and
Nelson, ranking members re-
spectively of Judiciary, Appro-
priations, and Commerce COM
mittees, twenty years service.
The committee of chiefest i'm
portance so far as Vermont is
concerned is Agriculture and
Forestry, and with the return of
the Republican party to power
in the Senate, Senator Page au-
tomatically receives the chair

position occupied by Senator
Proctor at the time of his death.

Champ Clark is regarded as
one Of the ablest men in public
life today. He received the ma
! jority of votes for President in
the Democratic National Con-
vention of 1912, but the rule of
the Democratic Convention is
that two-thirds are required to
nominate. Without a possibility
of doubt he would today be occu-
pying the presidential chair but
for the determined opposition of
w. J. Bryan. We may not all
agree with Speaker Clark in poll
tics, but in thorough knowledge
of Congressional affairs he is
recognized as preeminent au-
thority.
A few weeks ago the National
Press Club gave to the so-called
baby Congressman" first term
ers) a reception, at which Speak
er Clark made the most telling
address of the evening. He set
forth the fact that members of
Congress become strong through
long service, and long service
alone. His remarks have a very
important bearing upon today's
senatorial situation in Vermont,
and are so timely that they are
worth reproduction. Here is, in
part, what he said:
"a man has to learn to be a
representative just the same as
he has to learn to be a black
smith, a carpenter, G farmer or
a lawyer. Useful and influential
Congressman are made largely
by experience and practice. A
new Congressman must begin at
the foot of the class and spell up.
OF course the more brains, tact,
energy, courage, and industry he
has the quicker he will get up.
Let us take the present
House and see how long the men
who hold the high places have
served. ! cannot name all, but
will cite a few as samples.
"Mr. Speaker Cannon is serv-
ing his fortieth year. He holds
the record, or, in pugilistic par
lance. he holds the belt for
length of service in the House in
our entire history. In several
Congresses he was chairman of

priations and then was Speaker

WHEN THE OPERATOR REPORTS THAT THE
LINE is BUSY, it is because she has taken the time
to test the line called for 1t would be easier for her
to complete the connection than to make such a
port. If the operator did not test every call, she
might plug in on busy line
Furthermore, Busy means that the line mot neces-
sarily the telephone number you have caed) is in
use. The subscriber on four-party line may not be
talking, but of the three other subscribers may
be, making the entire line closed to traffic or some
of the party subscribers may have put in toll
call and the line is being held awaiting its completion
Lengthy conversations unimpOrtant matters often
congest party lines and give cause for protests from
other subscribers in common.
WHEN THE OPERATOR REPORTS THEY DON'T
ANSWER she has done all within her means to
compel an answer to her summons. That summoning
power is the ringing of bell, a mechanical signal
which says, Someone desires to speak to you" 1t
remains with the person called to be prompt in re-
spending
If subscriber is slow in responding the calling person
may hang up the receiver assuming that the former
is inaccessible Then there is an additional nconven-
fence to the called person when the operator reports
There is no one on the line now, please excuse it."
The operator who makes that report usually is
located at different switchboard than the operator
who rang the bell and is unable to ascertain where
the call originated.
