City Closed Tight
The breaking up Of the gambling ring
is in the hands of Captain William B..
Mills. assistant superintendent of police.
Director Cortclvou informed him yester-
day that he would be held responsible
for the closing of these establishments
and alleged ,lisorderly houses.
The word was sent out and the city
was closed tighter last night that it has
been for years. "And it is going to
stay this way if I have to work night

Vermont Beauty Spots.

Vermont has an international Tepu-
tation for beauty of scenery. There
isn't nook or corner of the state that
isn't beautiful in June and July, when
spring blossoms into summer. There
are, however, spots, call them beauty
spots if you will. which are eenters of
special attraction. One of these spots
is the magnificent valley between Lud
low and Woodstock, valley which
bends among mighty mountains and is
made picturesque by brooks, rivers and
lakes. Bridgewater lies ut the foot OF
Mount killington, which vies with
Mansfield for the distinction of being
the highest peak in the state. Nearby
are Pieo, Little killington, Mendon and
others, which are more than pimples
on the face Of mother earth. Between
Ludlow and Plymouth Black river rolls,
imposing In food time and not unat-
tractive when the August sun takes its
toll of moisture. Three lakes. Amherst.
Echo and Rescue, are known TO thou
sands and each season become more
popular with summer visitors The
shores of each are dotted with summer
cottages and the number j. bound 10
increase. The hotel at Tyson has been
purchased by a Providence woman and
viii be equipped and opened for sum
mer business. Business men Of Ludlow
are building a hundred thousand dollar
hotel. which viii greatly add to the
comfort and enjoyment Of tourists.
Things are breaking right for Ludlow
and the splendid valley between there
and Woodstock. This beauty spot is
bound 10 become increasingly famous.

HoovER'S LEVEL. HEADEDNESs.

Herbert Hoover again shows the
stuff of which he is made by declaring
that he is not seeking the presidency
of the United States, does not, indeed
want the position, but he does not hold
himself aloof from duty if it should 50
happen that the people of the United
States want him to serve. 1t is about
as sane position as one could take in
this political life of ours, and the ad-
herence to such an ideal makes Hoover
all the stronger in the affections of the
people. He is not wildbeyed, dirt
clawing sefseeker, man who wants
Office for his own aggrandizement; he
is an American who thinks office hold
ing means service, not self-gratifica-
ton. Hoover may never get to be
president of the United States but he
has stamped himself thus far as a man
worthy of being placed in position of
trust and responsibility because, for
one thing, he has comprehensive idea
of what Office holding denotes. II will
be a misfortune if, some time or
other, the nation does not call upon
this man to bring his splendid capacity
for service TO the advantage of the
country. Incidentally, the letter above
referred to makes it plain with which
party Hoover is aligned and it rather
puts damper on the move to name
him as the Democratic candidate, in.
asmueh as he says that before the war
he was a progressive Republican and
that during the war he was non -parti-
san. Events after the war have seemed
to bear out the belief that he is still
partisan when it comes TO consid
Grafton of great matters of vital con
Germ to the nation.

People who were caught in trains
stalled in the deep snowdrifts of the
past week enjoyed all the pleasures of
camp life, as well as some of the dis
pleasures, but they were resourceful in
many instances. as we note by the
action of the passengers on one train
who inspected the cars and located a
large number of eight gallon cans of
milk and quantity of fresh eggs. all
of which, or as much as they needed,
was confscated and served up for
breakfast, dinner and supper. Eggs
and milk, which are food foundations
of great value, will 60 far toward keep
ing trainload of hungry people from
growing peeved over their unfortunate
lot; and we fancy the passengers on
the train in question had a really en-
joyable time after they located the
eggs and the milk. Life takes on a
more pleasurable aspect when the
stomach is not denied.

Wood and the Presidency.

Editor of the Barre Times: My dead
list friend, John Crouch, esq, remarked
the other day that if General Wood
succeeded in his ambition to become
president it would be the first case on
record where the highest officer of the
land was given as a reward to soldier
who did not actually serve at the front.
He suggested that If done, it would be
upon the theory that having elected
one man because he kept us out of war
ii was only fair to now elect the man
who was kept out of war" For his
part, however, he could not see that
the general had much to complain of.
Having always been an apostle of pre-
paredness he should accept with equan-
unity the fate assigned to him during
the war of preparing others. D. A. P,

Oddly enough, about the only ex
change we have been getting since the
big blizzard is the Congressional Rec
ord; and, with all due respect to the
Congressional Record, we must admit
that it does not fill the bill by any
means. A Vermont newspaper office
would not be complete without the va
rious daily and weekly newspapers OF
the state reposing on the editors desk,
with representatives of metropolitan
journalism having their place also We
like the Congressional Recordsome-
what; but we get more enjoyment and
entertainment out of the Vermont ex-
changes.

PASSING or TIE ELL.

With the removal Of quarantine reg.
ulations in ropsham and Calais this
week there is marked the virtual pass.
Ing of the epidemic Of influenza in the
fifth health district Of Vermont. II is
probable that the eases have not been
entirely cleaned up in all the towns Of
the district because il has been found
TO be impossible to shut off the disease
squarely, there usually being a number
Of cases lingering along after il has
seemed the part Of wisdom to with.
draw quarantine restrictions on public
gatherings Of various sorts. The re
moyal Of the quarantine on towns does
not mean, Of course. the withdrawal Of
quarantine regulations on the houses in
which the lingering cases are found,
Tor such a quarantine is just as neces-
lary at one. time a. another: but il
ioes mean the opening up Of the town
BY permitting the resumption Of for
ner activities. So the district is to be
congratulated on the official passing Of

Salt Lake--Judge Henry IL. Roll
app, president of the United States
Sugar Manufacturers association,
who has been spending some time in
Denver, said on his return to Salt
Lake that the crop prospects in the
territory of the Great Western Su-
gar company are very good He re-
ports that the territory served by
the Great Western is still getting
sugar at 16 cents pound retail, al
though in other parts of Colorado
higher prices generally prevail.
One of the chief reasons for sue
cess OF sugar beet industry In Utah
has been the large families of chill
dren who are so useful in thinning
| the beets in June and In topping
them in September and October.
Utah families are mainly of prolific
Teutonic and Scandinavian stock
| and the families rival in size those
OF Sicily, Poland and Quebec. Any
! tourist will tell you that children
are Utah's best crop. but of late
years the crop Of children has not
kept pace with the rapidly growing
| sugar industry, and labor has TO be
imported from outside. In Davis
county, for example, Greeks and Jap
anese are abundant and have pushed
up the rent of beet land until II has
reached $50 an acre.

lc lease near Crescent station on the

THE SUGAR OUTLOOK

Production of sugar is slowly in
creasing in our country and Europe
but consumption Is also gaining and
prices Of sugar will not fall much, Is
the opinion OF experts.
The increase in European acreage
is reported at 10 per cent over last
year while acreage in our country
has risen to over 5000 acres.
European beet acreage in 1884
totalled 5.434,395, which fell off
during the war to 100000 acres,
and this accounts for the world SUI
gar scarcity.

tories.
In contrast to last year and the
year before, labor conditions in the
Utah and Idaho beet fields are re-
ported very satisfactory this season,
with ample help available for the
requirements of the crop. Much OF
the labor employed in the fields this
year has been brought in from Mex
leo under an arrangement made pos
sible through the state department
at Washington.
To allow a knock down and drag
out fight between capital and labor
to see which is the strongest force
might be interesting but It certainly
would be suicidal to industry and
