CURRENT COMMENT
Salvaging Coal.

1t is asserted by way of Bridgeport
that a million tons of coal are lying I'M
der the waters of Long Island sound
and the suggestion is made that con
siderable part of it may be salvaged.
1t seems reasonable in view of the fact
that the difference in price between bar
silver and anthracite coal is rapidly de-
creasing and is now at a point where
salvaging coal ought to be a profitable
undertaking.
1t will be nothing new, for it had its
small and crude beginning more than
so years ago. Hand to-mouth fishermen
in the shore towns of this state Were
skilled in the use of oyster tongs in
those days and, when cold weather came,
they would anchor their boats near the
local wharf and tong" from the water
coal that had dropped overheard in the
process of unloading ships or barges con-
signed to some local dealers. 1t was
slow work, but they were highly success
full and they reflected as they labored
that they had much more time than
money. They were more than willing to
transform time into coal without using
cash in making the change.
At present it is hard to arouse much
interest in the subject of next winters
coal for reasons which we need not dwell
upon but when the time comes that some
corporation attempts to bring to the
surface some Of the coal now under the
waters of the sound it will simply work
out the idea of these humble fishermen
of 1870 or thereabouts. Hartford Cour-
ant

five per cent. interest on investment,
IS3OS, leaving an average net labor in
come OF $500 per year In addition to
this cash income these farmers had
house rent, fire wood, milk, butter, eggs,
meat and vegetables, easily worth from
$500 to 5000. Add the average of these
1.-TWO sums, $3.50, to the average receipts
Iof these farmers and you have SO, 1866.
This makes the gross income on the
lS6,l75 investment approximately 81 l.3
Iper cent, and the net income 81 Ia
Iper cent This was done with an aver
Iage expenditure of 1916 for labor
The best paying farms in this number
made much greater earnings. The fact
that six out of the sixty -one farms did
mot pay expenses shows that the whole
Isixty-one quite accurately represented
farmers in general, We submit that this
Iis a pretty good showing for the farm
Iers and substantiates our former state
Iment that the average farmer gets as
good an income from capital invested
jim farm and equipment and amount of
labor employed as the business man. 1t
certainly will stand until the business
men are able TO collect as general and
reliable statistics concerning the bus
mess as these farmers have given of
theirs.--Brattleboro Reformer

A Commemorate Veto.

1t has taken a good degree Of courage
in President Wilson to veto the repeal of
the daylight saving law, and he is to be
commended heartily for the act. There
can be no question Of the bad economic
effect of repeal The president is well
grounded in bringing this reason to bear
in favor of the retention of the change in
the dial The people have been the gain
ers by millions through the new arrange
ment The proposition for repeal rests
on the inconvenience the damage
of the employing farmers only.
Most of the members of Congress who
voted for repeal did so against their own
opinion in the matter; they were intimi-
dated by their agricultural constituents.
Moreover, they tackled the repeal upon
the agricultural appropriation bill, be-
lieving that the president would be
afraid to veto that entire measure in
order to kill the repeal. This is a form
of congressional intimidation which is as
familiar as it is vicious. The president,
if he had not had the courage of his opin-
ion in the matter, could easily have com
promised with the industrial and other
sentiment on the subject by saying that
tne action OF congress ana the necessity
Of meeting the needs Of the agricultural
department in a time of economic crisis
had constrained him to sign the bill. He
did not, however take refuge in this ex-
cuse, but vetoed the bill, stating cogently
the reasons against it. His veto also has
the merit of discouraging the congress
sional scheme for eliminating the presi-
dental veto by means Of the appropria-
tion bill rider
AS the House to-day failed to pass the
bill over the presidential veto, we have
the happy assurance that daylight say
ing. with its many benefits, is safe for at
least another summer after this-Boston

From reports which have been received,
the eastward voyage of the British dir
igible RIA in completing the round-trip
between Europe and the United States
was even more successful than was the
western voyage, the experiences of the mi
tial fight over the Atlantic having served
to fortify the navigators against some
handicaps Of air navigation by lighter
than-air machine, while the distance was
covered in about "a hours less time.
These experimental trips of the R-34
have demonstrated that postal service
between the continents is Immediately
practicable even if full commercial traf-
fic, including the carrying of passengers,
is at the present time full of problems
which must be solved before the service
is put into effect. If it is possible to
transmit mail from the United States to
Europe in approximately three days it

Unreasonable Prices.

There is as little reason for the price
Of sugar TO rise as there is for the price
OF meat to remain where it is, remarked
John o. Thomas of New York and Cuba.
Cuba last year produced a large crop Of
sugar, and this year the crop will be still
larger. The demands, of course, have
been extraordinary, but there has been
enough to supply all the demands Dur
ing the war there were hundreds of thou
sands Of tons of sugar lying at the ports
Of Java, but there were no ships avail
able to carry it to the markets. The re-
suit was that this sugar had TO be sent
back to the refneries and renovated.
Notwithstanding this handicap, there is
enough sugar in the warehouses to-day
to meet all the requirements, yet | am
told that here in Washington there is a
shortage
There is something wrong somewhere.

cost. If we are to lower the cost of liv-

to start a campaign against the dealers,

Shopping in Vermont /"


The hardest work in all the year
Before the horseless car was here,
Was hitching mp your Goldsmith Maid
And driving into town to trade;
You hurried up your wife to start,
At noon you only had a tart,
You hurried round from store to store
And then was gone till after four
That tub of butter in behind
Was first and foremost on your mind:
You felt that merchant Hood would say,
I'D like a special tub to-day;
That last you fetched turned out so good
| took some home to Mrs Hood;
This pleasant speech so oft you've heard
Your wife can tell it word for word
The Mrs. gets some starch at Hoods
And teait's simply swapping goods
And then she says polite but plain,
I'D like new all wool delaine";
"All right" you sigh, and eros you 60
To Cox's, in the block below
You always like to trade with Cox
For he attends the orthodox.
1t takes an age to make that trade
The cambria, buttons thread and braid
But Mrs. smiles so sweet you say,
add on an alapacca, May;
"Ohl no." says She both Roy and Rose
Will soon be needing winter clothes,
And John, we'd better hasten slow,
You lost a COW not long ago"
Then next yourself and Mrs. stop
At Durkee's little druggists shop
For hemlock essence, camphor gum,
And something that viii help your
thumb;
That needle, too you always buy
For poor Aunt Kate, a-kinder sly,
Some bureau stain, a little can,
And hair oil for the hired man.
You have holdback strap to mend,
Your wife card to write and send,
You'd like TO pay that printer, Mills,
For them there oyster supper bills,
Your wife would like to see Miss Fitch
And get that new embroidery stitch,
And so you separate an hour
To double up on Grant power.
At length you hear each other cough
And meet beside the watering trough
Your wagon, jest acrost the road,
Sustaius a twenty mule-team load;
You both climb in and settle down.
Too tired to stir, too faint to frown
60 long" you say, go long old mare
Jest take us home or anywhere

Farmers Incomes.

Some time ago we said that com
parison of the incomes OF the farmer
and the business man, when the CAPT
tai and labor expenses of each were con.
would make more favorable
showing for the farmer than supposed ;
but we were unable to give any definite
statement regarding the size Of the in
come of either. An article in the New
England Homestead showing the farm
accounts OF sixty.one farmers in Sulli
van county, New Hampshire, gives very
definite information on farm incomes
that should interest everyone concerned
with agricultural development.
The average capital invested in these
sixty-one farms was S6,l75, average re-
ceipts, S2,6l6, average expenses, Sl,54s,

The proposal to make New York City
the worlds medical capital will find a re
eeptive chord in the hearts of the people
Of Vermont, for New York is not very
far from Vermont and the waves of in
fiuence emanating from New York might
easily have their effect in Vermont and
on Vermont's only medical institution.
If New York City succeeds in wrestling
the honors from European cities, where,
by general consent, the worlds medical
capital has been located, it will be an.
other step in the progress which the
United States is making for the leader.
ship of the world in many ways. Boston
might be expected to be contender for
the same honor and, failing to acquire
the title, might perhaps, prove of good
influence in backing up the United
States claim to leadership of the world,
for Boston has many possibilities along
that line.

Secretary Of State Lansing paid a
graceful tribute to France on the eve of
his departure from that country for the
United States after having resided in
Paris during the several months in which
the peace conference was in session. The
words were not reassuring to France in
her struggles at reconstruction but they
convey to the people Of France some
thing of the sympathy which the people
Of the United States feel toward them
in their struggles. Despite some minor
outcroppings, the American people and
the French people are strongly in sym
pathy with each other

OF course the American people wish it
had been President Wilson congratulate
ing an American crew instead of King
George congratulating a British crew on
a successful round-trip across the Allan

cannot be won by any single nation or
people The success of the Britishers is
calculated to spur the Americans on to
renewed effort in the complete conquest
of the air, if such thing be humanity
possible.

The merging of Leland and Gray sem
mary into the public school system of
the town of Townshend in southern Yer
mont marks the passing of another sec
ondary school Of the private or semi
private type. Schools of this type are
having hard time to meet the increas-
ing cost of all school expenses unless
they are sufficiently supported by endow-
ment The passing of these schools in
late years emphasizes the necessity of
increased financial support of Goddard
seminary in Barre if the school is to
fulfill its purpose. The school has an
endowment much larger than the average
of schools of that type but it needs more,
much more, to cope with the growing
problems that arise from year to year.

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The action OF the
Government against Sim Feinism in
county Clare brings the whole Irish
problem again to a head. Further de-
tails of the raid which occurred at
Glendore, county Cork, show that the
police entered Glendore College. which
ostensibly is an educational establish
ment boarding sixty students. It is
alleged that this college has been used
as a training camp for the Sinn Fein.
Some 200 soldiers surrounded the
house and grounds at 4 o'clock in the
morning. arrested four men. hauled
down the Sim Fein flag and hoisted
the Union Jack.
In political circles the decision Of the
Government to fight the Sim Fein in
County Clare Is regarded with misgiv-
ing. Several Irish members Of the House
OF Commons including Messrs. Devlin
and Mcveagh. left hurriediy for Ireland
after receiving d,squieting reports of
conditions in the western counties. Out
RACES are becoming more frequent,
bringing closer the probability OF mar
tial law in Tipperary. Limerick, Cork
and Kerry. where the Sim Feiners are
extremely active.
t. p. OConnor asserts that the Gov
ernment's policy or lack of policy is fast
reducing Ireland to an inferno. This
places ireland in the centre of a vicious
circle" he says. where repression cre-
ates disturbance. disturbance aggravates
repression and the whole programme
is repeated over again. This policy has
produced the same disastrous results
many times before and it will continue
disastrously until the Government finds
the vision and courage to strike the
roots Of this hideous turmoil by satisfy
ing the national aspirations of Ireland
and giving her own representatives the
management of Irish affairs.
Il understand that the decision OF the
follows the reception of re-
ports from the disaffected districts very
similar to those which reached 1t before
the Easter rebellion Of 1916 The Sim
Feiners are openly defiant and are
carrying on a campaign Of outrage and
against the police and all
who attempt to support authority. The
danger of armed resistance seems to be
kept under only by the presence Of
large forcea'
With the Irish situation becoming in
creasingly more difficult to handle de-
mands are arising on every hand for
the Government to devise a definite
scheme OF self-government by which the
Irish will have the preservation of
order In their own hands. The lawless-
ness in County Clare adds strength to
these demands.
