SHORTENED TONNAGE.

The annual tonnage of the Barre gran
lite district in 1919 is reported a material
decrease of rough stock, the lowest since
1915. However the slump in tonnage ship
ments Is not an accurate criterion by
which to judge the business of the Barre
district Tor the past year. A careful analy-
sis OF conditions in the past IL month
plainly indicates how effectively the
changes growing out of the war combin-
ed to keep down the actual production
OF rough stock The greater part of the
shrinkage may be readily attributed to
the fact that quarry owners, early in
the year. were faced with the necessity
OF devoting a great deal of money and
diverting many men to the work of de-
velopment rather than production. Dur
ing those many months when employees
were fast dropping away from industries
to take up the firing piece for the worlds
cause. Quarters were burning the mid
night oil endeavorng to meet the alb
normal employment conditions.
For nearly two years grout and the
other accumulations of quarrying had
been left in the quarry holes and must
be removed If proper quarry develop
ment was to be effected. AS matter of
fact. quarry owners diverted much Of
their money and employees to clearing
this debris in the months of 1919. thereby
decreasing to a notable extent the annual
production of rough stock.

THE MEANING OF MONDAY

CFrom the San Francisco Bulletin
Monday has always had a bad reputa-
t1on. 1t began with one when it was

day on which people felt mooney, which

sunday, and the primitive Saxon having

There is quite a lot about Monday in

the derivations you come to:

IN the week could have looked cheerful
with such load on its shoulders?
But Monday Ia beginning to get even.
The drys have made Sunday so solemn

Our Lincoln whom we tribute pay.

1t seems to grow the more sublime,
But oft from stations humble here
Come beacon lights whom men revere
AS leaders Of a pure intent,
That seemed to be from heaven sent
So Christ was in the manger born.
But came with him a glad new morn.
Whose light still shines for ages far.
AS friendly guide and morning star.
In cabin born thus Lincoln came
To free nation from its shame,
And give to freedom larger sway,
To country new and better day.
Such men are taught In natures school
How best to lead and wisely rule.
And they succeed because they feel
For all and work for common veal
All. yet somehow that noble form
Before us rise with all It's charm,
And gives us inspiration new
To be heroic, brave and true!
Then let us read his pages clean
On which are writ with wisdom keen
His thoughts profound to country lead,
That still for US are safer creed
O countrymen. that spirit grand
1t still embraces all the land;
Then let us turn to it and say.
We all are Lincoln men to-day.

Once there was a boy who never

Never made his sister mad.
Never whipped fer bein' batN
Never scolded by his Ma,
Never frowned by his Pa,
Always fit fer folks to see.
Always good as good could he.
This good little boy from Heaven,
So I'm told, was only seven,
Yet he never shed real tears
When his mother scrubbed his ears,
An at times when he was dressed
Fer party. In his best.
He was careful of his shirt
Not to get 1t smeared with dirt.
Used to study late at night
Learnin' how to read an write;
When he played a baseball game.
Right away he always came
When his mother called him in.
And he never made din
But was quiet as a mouse
When they'd comply in the house.
Like to wash his hands an face.
Liked to work around the place:
Never when he'd tired of play,
Left his wagon in the way
Or his bat an ball around
Put 'sm where they could be found;
An that good boy married Ma.

A BELOVED BURLINGroNIAN GONE

During the years since the World War
began, we have learned to love France
anew. America and the country of La
fayette and Rochambeau have ever been
drawn together by the bonds of fraternity
and democracy stretching out across the
period intervening this nations struggle
for independence in which those patriots
aided the American colonists immeasura-
bly, and the conflict to make the world
safe for democracy. Under these circum-
stances it is n remarkable and doubly i'm
pressive coincidence that a little district
in Brittany, France, should have given
to the city Of Burlington two such grand
men as the late Bishop DeGoesbriand and
the Rt Rev. J. NJ. Cloarec who has just
gone out from among Us.
Bishop DeGoesbriand came to Vermont
in 1882 and Father Cloarec. as all Bur
lingtonians liked to call him, who had
reached the ripe age OF 81 and who was
devoted follower of Bishop DeGoesbriand.
thus linked an early generation of the
Church In Vermont with the present.
Bishop DeGoesbriand was Of noble de-
scent while Monsignor Cloarec was Of
humber origin, yet the two men as would
naturally be expected under the circum-
stances, had many qualities In common.
Both were characterized by the extreme
simplicity Of their lives, by their unaf-
fected democracy. by their broad and
generous sympathies. by their beautiful
Christian spirit and by their devoted serv-
Ice for humanity. Both of these grand
men were ever ready to extend a helping
hand to a young man struggling for a
place In the newspaper sun, and to pay
both a deserved tribute could be none
other than a service of love and appre-
citation. Monsignor Cloarec enjoyed the
distinction of having been a fellow stu
dent with Cardinal Gibbons in the Balti-
more Theological Seminary.
To his many other fine qualities Mon
signor Cloarec added the ability to COM
bine thrift and common business sense
with ecclesiastical administration, a COM
bination which is not always found

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

Political platforms have divers sources,
forms and characteristics. Vermont re-
publcans have tried all of these platform
possibilities. and have lived without fatal
results to tell the story. Sometimes, as
was early the custom, the State commit
tee would select the chairman Of the COM
mittee on resolutions long before the con-
vention, and he would take to that gath
ering declaration of political principles,
pointing with pride" as well as presaging
future party glories. The convention
adopted it as a rule unless perchance there
was some overshadowing issue like local
option in 1902. when fight on the floor
accompanied the adoption of the platform
plank named.
