"Closing a Trade" in Vermont.

In boyish days twas fun to watch
A pair of men a-trading,
And hear 'em talk of heating down
And holding out" and shading;
And always when they sold colt
The buyer seemed to falter
Until the other Teller growled;
well; Ill throw in the halter"
j used TO ss'pose, when Uncle said
To Ebenezer Quincy,
'1'll meet you half way, Eb," they both
Was going on a journey;
And when their talk agot SO strong
1t reproduced the psalter,
They carmed right down ii either one
Threw in webbing halter.
They used to split the difference" too,
And that seemed awful funny;
I've heard Of splitting wood, Of course,
But not of splitting money;
And once ! went mile to ask
Ny sisters Teller, Walter,
A-what II meant. Said he; II saves
A-throwing in the halter
You've got to have some Kind of cord
To draw two sports together;
You've got to have some closing speech
In selling lace or leather;
Perhaps there ain'A no better way,
When traders pull and palter
Than jest TO sugar off the thing
BY throwing in the halter.
And yet sometimes that closing word
A-plagues you if YOU say II;
They've worked You up to pay a price
So steep you shouldn't pay it;
You're being skinned" as Queen Bess
said
The time the porridge scalt Ter,
And what a lot OF cutiele
Has vanished with the halter!

of preparedness can safeguard a coun-

1t is excellent advice from the Rut-
land Herald that Vermont farmers
plant few pine and spruce trees, also
fruit trees, this year, but we fear there
will not be general following -out of
the advice. We are eating up our re-
sources in timber without making much
of an effort to replace the trees cut
down. That is a very poor business
policy, for it is another adaptation of
the old maxim that we cannot eat our
cake.and still have it, Farmers of Ver-
mont, and many others, should plant
trees as numerously as possible during
the coming year.

France and Her Next President.

On Saturday. unless the unexpected
occurs, Premier Clemenceau will be
chosen TO succeed Raymond Poincare,
as president of the French republic.
Contrasted with the strenuous and tenn
pestuous campaign that plunges the
American people every four years into
state Of feverish excitement, the Sc
lection of French president is a mild
and ineonsequential affair. Preceding
it is no popular campaign by the rival
candidates, no stirring to its depths OF
the nations inner life, as is the case
when the voters Of the United States
are called to choose their chief execu-
/ tive But in its way, the selection
of Frances next president on Saturday
is an event of real concern, not alone
to Frenehmen, but to thinking and
broad-visioned people everywhere. The
senators and members of the Chamber
Of Deputies on whom devolves the con.
stitutional duty of selecting the next
occupant of the Elysee palace will
perform that duty under the high sense
Of the obligation which they owe to the
nation The recent election in Novem-
Der returned an overwhelming major
ity, both in the Senate and the Cham
Der Of Deputies, of the candidates Of
the Bloc National, coalition pledged
to maintain in full vigor the existing
political institutions of France. The
choice of that majority must neees-
sarily fall on man whom the whole
nation recognizes as qualified to lead
the forces of nationalism in the pc
Rod OF reconstruction.
Logically and rightly the choice will
fall on Georges Clemenceau, who has
won undying fame in the hearts OF his
countrymen by the skill with which he
has guided political fortunes of France
through the worst storm of its history.
Clemenceau, pere Ia Victoire, is the per-
sonal incarnation of Franch triumphant.
He stands In the heart, both of the
poilu and the peasant, and worker be-
hind the lines, as the guarantee that
France shall not be robbed Of the fruits
OF victory, nor again be subjected TO
the agony Of foreign invasion. Gle
mencesu. as the head Of the Bloc Ma

other ransacked the bureau and was

Judge asid; Don't take that; it has

the burglar.

In st. Johnsbury, too, the people begin
to move out of the theatre before the
final curtain on the show is rung down
a complaint having been lodged through
the columns of the St. Johnsbury Gale
DOMAIN against the ''hickiest kind OF
hicks who, perhaps, failed to do the
milking and to feed the stock before
coming to the show and were anxious
to get out of the theatre. Oddly enough,
the complaint was lodged in connection
with the same show in Burlington and
in st. Johnsbury, while in Barre tAere
was similar tendency to- rush out
when the same company was putting on
the final scene. The tendency seems to
be common in nearly every community
whether the audience is made up Of
"hicks' or not. In the case of the
Barre performance there was some JUS
tification for the precipitate desire to
get out of the opera house because the
hall was very poorly ventilated and the
people had been driven almost to the
limit of endurance by the oppressive air
and unnecessary heat. A little better
regulation Of the air would have tended
to make for satisfaction that night.

grand than il would be if stripped OF
most of its tree life. Vermont should
try to preserve the grandeur Of Its
mountains in the same way. The for
est land can be cut over without mu.
tilating the landscape, albeit the sym
metry of the forest line must be more
or less broken by the woodsman's axe
SO it is urgent that only the most sci
entifc method in cutting be employed
if the beauty Of Vermont's mountains
in southern Vermont is to be main
tanned.

While the 25 county iails of Massa-
chusetts have accommodations for 6,400
prisoners it is probable that their limit
of capacity has never been taxed. On
the other hand, it is probable that the
institutions have never had so few oc-
cupants as at the present time, there
being only $500 inmates of the rs,
three of the institutions having closed
their doors recently because of the lack
of persons subject to Imprisonment.
The condition is eloquent testimony to
the betterment of society brought
about by the adjustment of saloons.
OF that there can be no doubt, even in
the minds Of many who have been sup
porters of the open bar.

No denying the fact, Waterbury has
a number of men who have the ability,
and we rather guess, the inclination, to
be known as available on the Republi-

good men so well, knows them as neigh

1t seems that the Vermont colleges
participated in the referendum vote on
the peace treaty but the reports of
their voting had not been tabulated in
the early statements given out to the
press. In the case of Norwich univer-
sity, the figures of which referendum
are given elsewhere, there was a strong
sentiment in favor of compromise to
make possible the immediate ratifica-
ton Of the treaty, just as was the case
in most Of the other colleges of New
England.

Vermont's big financial institution,
the National Life Insurance company,
has had another good year, as is made
evident by a perusal of the statement
of the company for the period. The
company is carrying sizeable balance
over and above its liabilities and is, in
other ways, continuing to establish a
secure place for itself, while at the
same time serving the public in its spe-
cial field of operation. There ought to
be an even better year just ahead.

That proposed nation Of negroes
along the Rio Grande river and on ter

state, indeed The idea, as presented
by persons claiming to represent the
negroes of the United States, is very
visionary and not calculated to gain Sc
rious support from the people of the

A GOOD BANK SYSTEM.

While the odds were strongly against
the lone bandit who entered a New
York bank and demanded $4,000 from
one of the .telers, it must not be over
looked that the teller, of whom the de-
mand was made, exercised some quick
thinking and almost equally as quick
acting in starting the hue and cry
which ended in the capture Of the des-
perado. lie took considerable .so-called
nerve for the teller TO look the des-
perado in the eye while the bandit
pointed revolver and then TO drop be-
meath the counter, at the same time
shouting Bandits. Get your guns.
The desperate engaged the wrong teller
that time incidentally, the system
which had been worked out in that
particular bank in order to foil robbers
proved its wsrth many times over.
Other banks might take advantage Of
the experience and put their employees
through course Of similar training.
Ii will be bad day for the bank ban
dts when other banks take up this
measure of protection.
