One of the small towns of the state
furnishes the speaker of the Vermont
House of Representatives New Haven,
in Addison county, the home of Speaker
Charles S. Dana, is place of little more
than thousand population. On the 9TH
er hand the president pro tenn of the
Senate, Martin S, Villas, comes from the
largest city, Burlington, while the pre-
siding officer, Lieutenant Governor Ito
be- Mason s. Stone resides in Montpelier.
So the balances between the small and
the large towns are fairly we'll main
tanned so far as early honors in the leg
islatTe are concerned, Speaker Dana,
by the way, has had little introduction
to the Office because he was the presiding
officer Of the House during the closing
hours Of the last previous session, sue
ceeding Stanley G. Wilson, who resigned
on being elected a superior Judge by the
legislature, over the House section Of
which he was presiding as speaker So
Speaker Dana is not entirely new to the
position.

THE SHRINE AT OYSTER BAY.

Like Mount Vernon, Oyster Bay on
Long Island will be the mecca for pill
grimages of unnumbered generations of
Americans So the grave of Theodore
Roosevelt should have some distinctive
sign, either in the shape of handsome
memorial shaft or a tablet which will
commemorate the works and activities of
one of the greatest presidents of the
country. If one were to judge by the ac-
ton of Mrs. Roosevelt in relation to the
funeral she would prefer to have the
body Of her distinguished husband lie in
comparative obscurity; but to q certain
extent the body of Roosevelt is the prop
erty of the nation because of the official
position which he held so long and the
nation should, therefore, be granted the
right to place some mark of its love and
reverence at the grayeside in the little
cemetery on Long Island 1t is to bC
hoped that Mrs. Roosevelt and the other
members of the family will overcome
whatever repugnanee they may have tc

might come to it under other conditions

An evidence of how much building OPP
erations were at standstill during the
war is given by the official report of the
building inspector in Burlington that
only seven residences were constructed in
the largest city in Vermont during the
year OF course, one of the chief reasons
for this condition was the restriction
placed by the national government on
construction work. but the shrinkage Of
population in Vermont incident to the
war would account for the loss Of CON
struction even though the government re.
striction had not been imposed With
the removal of the restriction and the re-
sumption Of normal life with the end Of
warfare Burlington, as well as many
other places in the state, should feel a
new impetus in the house construction
line. As vacant houses fill up because of
returning soldiers and workers from the
munitions factories the demand for
houses to accommodate the natural
growth will require new construction.

Oil As She is Played
con City Derrick

way the oil game is played by some Of
the sharpers in that state and which
Is AT the same time an Illustration of
the methods employed by the unscru-
pulOuS to obtain money at the expense
of ignorance. In the West Columbia
field Of that state there are instances
where work Is being held up because
of cloudy titles. Much Of the land was
owned by negroes who are scattered
over Texas and other states. Sharpers
have been taking advantage Of the SUI
pcrstitions of the race by calling In for
tune tellers. These fakes get in touch
with the negro land owner and pre-
diet that the surface of the land will
collapse some day In the near future
because Of the oil and gas that Is being
taken out beneath it, They advise the
negro 10 sell his land and thus escape
the fate that is sure to befall that sec
ton Of BraZoria county After the ne
gro has been Thoroughly frightened the
sharper comes around and calls ON him
and usually departs with decd or quit
claim To the land. II Is an example Of
the same that has been played in other
STATES as well ms in other industries.
