A REAL GOVERNOR.

The friends of government every
where will approve of the stand OF
Governor Coolidge in the Boston strike
To the proposition of sacrificing tho
government in compromise with the
striking policemen of Boston he has
answered that there can be no compro
mise of the government and its func
tions Control of the government and
the maintenance of the law and order
must remain in the hands of the prop
erly constituted authorities.
For governor facing campaign for
denomination and reelection to assume
such a stand requires the courage of 6
statesman and patriot that greatly
exceeds the wisdom of a politician. II
Is reassuring to know that Massachu
sets possesses such a governor in tho
critical hours of its fight for the supre
macy of government over factions. II
is promise of victory for the forces
of law and order that will greatly en-,
courage all who believe in constitution
al government and strengthen their arm
in the inevitable conflict precipitated
by the deserters from the Boston police
force.
1t is safe to predict that consistent
adherence to the principles he has an.
nounced will show Calvin Coolidge
worthy of even higher honors than the
governorship of the commonwealth OF
Massachusetts.

An Object Lesson.
(Rutland News.

The other towns in the state have al
object lesson before them in Woodstock
in one respect, at least The fine show
ing of heavy cattle raised by breeders III
that town are or should be the envy OIL
every Vermont community. The Devons
Holsteins, Durhams and Herefords shown
1t the state fair from Woodstock herds
were highly creditable There is no rea
son why large number of these heavy
animals, for draft purposes or beef, should
not be raised in all parts of Vermont. A
poor, scrawny, light animal costs practi
cally as much to feed as heavy one, and
it would seem that economy would die
tate the investment of fodder where il
would bring the greatest return. The
opportunities for both beef cattle and
sheep raising in this state are compare
lively little utilized

Of the things | did when / was free.

and of our splendid behavior when

Small Railroad Profitable.

The Grand Island railway. which
stretches from end to end of an island
I'm the Athabasca river. in northern
Canada, is probably the smallest In the
world. The entire length Of the track
is quarter of mile. and the rolling
stock comprises two well-worn lorries
Merchandise is taken to the island In
beats or scows. transferred to the rail-
road. and shipped again by water at
the other end. Customers load the
cars themselves, and propel them by
hand power across the island. The
owner says his enterprise returns
thousands of dollars a year. and he
claims that his is not only the small
est but the most profitable railroad In
the world.
