We note with pleasure the renewal of

working the mines on "A large scale and

copper should advance to previously I'M

ia the years that ensued None of the

and several of them developed the idea
not new in mining but never highly sue

the business ran down.
Mining at Ely was always handicapped

TRIxIE'S GOOD ACT.

"a gray parrot" said Daddy, had
been given to little girl named Lucy
on her birthday. The parrot was quite
taken with her new home and looked
about her as if it suited her very well.
"HeHo,' said Lucy.
"Hello,' said the parrot.
az believe | shall name you Trixie,'
said Lucy.
"Hello Trixie,' repeated the parrot.
"'Oh, goodie,' said Lucy, you have
learned your name right away
"And the parrot cooking her head
on one side, said, Right awayr
"From Trixie's eyes anyone could
have told that she was a very bright
bird. The eyes of the bird always
show just how much wisdom and in
telligence the bird has, and Trixie
proved she had a great deal.
when she was spoken to her eyes
looked very bright They watched the
person who was speaking to her, show
ing she was listening and paying at
tention.
"If her eyes had wandered all about
she would have shown she was stupid.
For bird is something like a person
in this way.
when people are spoken to and pay
very little attention but let their eyes
gaze Oh anything at all, then they show
| they aren't very much interested.
"Now Lucy fed her parrot some very
nice seeds and bits of corn. Trixie
thought she had fine food and every

but it was extremely goodl
"Trixie learned to say almost ev-

to show Lucy how pleased she was
with everything, so she chatted pleas

If some of us, who are sometimes in

it is now. Any criticism that The Ban

cat the time, it seemed slow; look
ing back, it is a marvellous record -
This is the unqualified opinion of Wash
ington Of the accomplishments of the
first session Of the Sixty-Fifth Congress,
the first War Congress since 1889,
and the only one with that exception
for lifty-four years. Congress has been
roundly abused by the public press for
its dilatory tactics in dealing with war
Legislation, but when Rt. Hon. Arthur
James Balfour visited the United States
in May he expressed amazement at the
wonderful rapidity with which the
American people and the Congress that
represented them, were preparing for
the war into which the nation had en-
tered. The clerks Of the appropria-
lions committees are Just now able to

memorable address on April >, which
led to the declaration of war against
the German government; Congress has
appropriated or authorized twenty
times the appropriations ever voted be

In the time Of Thomas 3. Reed an APP
preparation of a billion dollars for a
whole term of Congress made the people
prick up their ears, and Mr.. Reed
quoted some Of the critics with the
graphic explanation that This is a

Vermont Sentiment Reflected.
Barre Times.

There is no doubt that the voice of
Vermont, as given expression at the
war convention in Rutland was right
in saying that Senator La Toilette has
given aid and comfort to the enemy. to
our enemy, Germany. 1t is such an
latitude as his taken by persons high
III public Office that has caused the GOV
eminent IN Berlin to believe that the
United States was divided in its de
termination to wage war now that war
has been declared, that when the SUI
preme test came the anti-war party
would prevent the active participation
of the United States in the war. La
Toilette has been opposed to about
every large movement prepared by the
government for the furtherance Of the
war plans and he has gone outside of
the walls Of congress to announce to
the world that the United States was a
house divided against itself, thereby
giving the impression that the nation
could not WELD its full strength in be
half of the purposes held by the entente
allies. If that attitude has not tended
to give aid and comfort to our enemy
then nothing which Americans could do
would have such a result We believe,
therefore, that Vermont as whole
stands back Of the sentiment as unoffi-
cially expressed at the informal gather
ing Of Vermont people in Rutland last

Gone without Being Paid.

The Vermont volunteers in the army
have not received their state pay for
two months and now they have gone to
France without getting the money. Some
body has Numbered. 1t is not So much
that the boys need the money, and some
few of them are better off without it.
but it looks as though the Vermont sol
diers are neglected and i'll treated by
their home state, when nothing could
really be further from the truth SO far as
intent goes The following unsigned
communication sent out from Montpelier
has been received by the Banner:
Delay IN renting to soldiers the adj
ditional state pay has been caused by
difficulty in obtaining proper payrolls OF
the ermont volunteers now IN service,
Governor Graham has arranged to
have representative of the treasurer 5
office 60 to Camp Bartlett at Westheid
and procure as far as possible the pay
rolls of Nermonters, who are entitled
to the additional SO per month As soon
as this necessary information is obtained
the treasurer's office viii Immediately take
up the work of preparing and forwarding
the state pay for August and September
The trip to Westfeld is a month or SIN
weeks too late and this lame excuse about
not getting the proper payrolls is just
about the same story that was told IN
5ust about the same way month ago.
1t was a pretty good reason then, but it
is less convincing now
The Banner isn't finding fault with
anybody The war is big new job and
hard one Those in places Of response
bility have had more work to do than
they could possibly get done. IN ninety
nine cases out of hundred they have
done all that could be expected and
more Most of the small percentage Of
failure has been due to the absolute inn
possibility of getting competent assist
ants. 1t IS not to be expected the war
machine can run perfectly from the start.

hnding that the cost of living is so greatly
