but the "a hours previously. Scientists
say that the second visitation of the
disease is not nearly so virulent as IN
the first instance; but it is more than
probable that the lighter death toll
and the slower movement of the cpl
demic are due in large measure to the
preparedness of the country Tor the
outbreak. That is not to say that the
nation was ready to resist the disease
successfully, ready to stamp it out
forthwith. Evidences show that was
not done. But the nation was normally
equipped with nurses and physicians in
civil life; and the people were fortified
with knowledge of some of the phases
Of the disease in such way that they
were able to assist materially in check
ing the spread of the disease. These
things are likely to make the 1920 cpl.
demic of influenza far less terrible
than that of 1918 and keep the nations
death rate down.

CURRENT COMMENT
Consolidation or Discrimination.

Commenting on the proposal OF the
Brattleboro Reformer, the MorrisVllle
Messenger and others, to do away with
number Of the smaller towns In Yer
mont by annexing them to their neigh
bors, the Bennington Banner claims II
advocated such an idea 10 years ago,
but was not prepared TO go so far as
setting 500 limit in population.
Admitting that there are some towns
which should not be called independent
communities, the Banner gets down TO
concrete examples in the following;
Sin this county glastonbury and
Landgrove ought not to be distinct
towns. Possibly Woodford ought to
be Joined to Bennington and Searsburg
TO Wilmington, though the Banner does
not think so, but there is certainly no
good reason for taking away town
charters of Peru, Winhall and Sunder-
land, even though not one of them has
500 people. In Windham county Som
erset and Stratton have decreased TO a
point where it Is an actual hardship
for them to maintain town govern
ments. Athens and EBrookline, though
under 500, are not in the same class as
Somerset and Stratton. Population
alone should not be the qualification
Of a towns right to be town."
The Herald is inclined TO think the
Banner is right Something of the
same class of problem entered into the
plans for consolidating rural schools,
which we undertook in 1904 and which
has not worked so well that il could
really be taken for a model In fact,
the tendency Is now the other way, so
that the state board of education and
the various town officials are just as
industriously endeavoring to re-estab-
lish the ''little red schoolhouse."
The town which has enough popula-
ton 70 maintain a genuine town or
ganization and enough property to pay
its bills ought to continue, even If
there are less than 100 legal voters
We must not forget that the town
unit is the model for popular govern
ment and the town meeting its ideal.
There are, however, number Of towns
such as the Banner mentions. whose
town organization is farce and whose
deeease is merely a matter of time.
The problem, as the Herald sees II,
Is not To load these dead areas on to
some adjacent town organization, but
TO provide means for winding up their

UNcoUNTED VERMONT.

1t has been discovered in Bennington
that considerable section of that town
outside of the village had been skipped
by the census enumerators. For some
reason none of them had understood
that this district was included in the
territory assigned to them. This is
something that might happen in any
town and it is imperative that thor
ough canvass be made of the state for
reasons which have been explained be-
fore. In Bennington because of the
agitation on the subject, over 100 per-
sons have been reported who had been
overlooked. Brattleboro should have
similar attention. Brattleboro Reform
err.
If there are many such chunks of
Vermonts population that have not
been counted, Vermonts position in the
l4th decennial census viii be likely to
disappoint Vermont people bitterly.
When a state is trying to hold its own
in population in the face of marked
Withdrawals because of the wars
drains, il is rather disheartening TO
learn that whole sections have been
missed, let alone the many individuals
who, very likely, have been overlooked
for some reason OF other. II was found
in Bennington that many names had
not been counted, and vigorous cam
paign was inaugurated TO get those
names in. As the result Of the cam
paign more than 100 names have been
added to the list and the effort is still
being kept up. Here in Barre an invi-
tation was extended by the census SUI
pervisor Of the district to report names
IL there was reason TO believe they had
been skipped in the rounds of the emu
merators. Inasmuch as the census bu-
reau in Washington is inclined to allow
certain degree of leeway in reporting
the names because of the unsatisfac-
tory climatic conditions in Vermont
while the census was being taken, it
would be well for every community to
continue the practice Of reporting such
names as may have been overlooked,
Vermont must have everyone counted
il il il to make decent showing in the
census.

Some Eminent Shoes in the Street.

Hard for human beings to see very
far ahead-even fnanciers. Not so
long ago bankers believed automobiles
would become drug on the market
and when William G. Durant wanted to
buy the Ford Motor company for eight
million cash, he couldn't raise the mon
ey in Wall street. Well, the 1920 au-
tomobile output looks like three million
cars with signs of still more wanted,
and the Ford company is worth about
forty times its value ten years ago.
So with movies. Bankers saw them
as passing craze--sure to go to the
wall. Producers were given the loud
'Ha- Ha" in the financial district. But
now-look for the motion picture quo
tations along with steel, railroads, rub
Der and such. The Goldwyn Picture

Graniteville Students, Too.

Editor, Barre Times; In regard TO
the ambition of certain out-of town

Of course if person from Graniteviiiie

nected with this little village on the

of daily ride or walk Eyes, most OF the
students walk it, in the weather we
have been having the past weeks, know

NATION BETTER PREPARED TO
MEET INFLUENZA.

The publishing of the statistics OF
the deaths in the United States during
the year 1918 reveals what terrible
ravages the scourge of influenza in
flicted on the country as whole. Prac-
ticslly one-sixth of the deaths during
that year were caused by Influenza, and
the classification does not, of course
include the cases which started as in
fuenEa and terminated in pneumonia.
The epidemic found the nation off its
guard, so to speak, with chief interest
conferred on problems relating TO the
war, with physicians and nurses drawn
from civilian life to a great extent 10
serve purposes incident to war, with a
certain degree of lsxity prevailing
among the people in their efforts to
come together to plan campaigns for
furtherance of the war aims of the
government, with more or less huddled
conditions Of humanity in the great
centers Of industry where war equip.
ment and materials were being made
and constructed. In short, there was a
considerable looseness Of American life
brought about by the exigency of the
war. and the people and the nation
were poorly prepared for the sudden
onslaught Of the epidemic.

There is some talk in Montpelier
about building permanent roads in the
business section of the city to take the
place of makeshift construction which
is not substantial enough to stand the
wear and tear of present-day traffic
OF course, Montpelier people are per
fectly familiar with Barre granite and
most of them are aware that Barre has
a Main street of granite paving blocks
which has stood the test of very heavy
traffic for a long period, some of it as
long as 20 years. Moreover, the pavement
which was laid the longest ago and
which is meeting all requirements at
the present day was not built under
such modern ideas as the comparatively
recent pavement. This latter is COM
posed of granite paving blocks as a
foundation but with covering of CO.
ment almost like asphalt, the combina-
ton making both a durable road and
a smooth surface. Another advantage
of such a permanent road is that it is
easy to clean, being capable of resisting
the wearing of heavy stream of water
as easily as it resists a streetsweeping
machine. Undoubtedly it is not wild
utterance to say that such a road
would wear half a century without re-
pair providing it were not subjected to
uphesval of an earthquake or a great
explosion. Montpelier could not do
better than TO place such a really per-
manent road on her two business
streets.

Emma Goldman was probably one
surprised woman when she got over to
Russia and found that the bread ra-
tions system was still in vogue and not
very much bread to person either.
For woman who had been preaching
the Russian sort of revolution in the
United States, this must have been
shocking information. Back here in
the horrid United States, the Goldman
woman and all others were not being
held to bread rations and they were
getting all they needed providing they
were willing to work for it.
