 WELL CARED FOR

! CHICAGO.-A new departure in political convention management has been launched by the Demo- cratic national committee, which has opened a transportation bureau here to care for the delegates, alternates and spectators who will go to San Francisco to attend the convention June 2S.
 The shortage of railroad equip ment and the flood of traffic on all roads is responsible for the innova- ton.
 See America First tours to points of interest in the West, in- cluding Yellowstone park, the grand canyon, Los Angeles and others, are being planned by the Democrats as a lure to attract at least part of the travellers westward two or three weeks before the convention, thereby spreading the burden on the railroads over a longer period.
 For the return trip from San Francisco system has been worked out whereby the visitors can buy eastbound tickets within thirty-six hours after the convention opens, the tickets to call for return pass age eight hours after the convention closes. The biggest problem in con- vention transportation has always been the return trip, as the day and hour for the close is always un- certain.
 E. K BiXby. transportation official of the Pennsylvania railroad system. has been loaned to the Dem ocratic committee to take charga of the transportation bureau. He has obtained the cooperation of the association of Western pass enger agents. and the Pullman com pany has promised him first call for its parlor car equipment.

FUEL PROBLEMS ID BE CONSIDERED
 BY ELECTRICIANS

PASADENA, Cal, May 1S.-So- lution of the fuel problems con fronting America through the use of electricity will be the dominat- ing note of the convention of the National Electric Light association, which began its annual session in this city today.
 Foremost among the questions which the National Electric Light association is endeavoring to work out are: the identification of steam railroads; the connection of the lines of power-generating com panies so that their production ca pacity can be continually kept at the maximum; the shifting of the electrical load so that it can be most scientifically and economically devoted to meet the demands at the time of the greatest require ment; the development of the avail able hydro electric energy as rap idly as construction can be financed. and the application of all modern methods toward making the gen eration of electricity by steam pro duce the highest potentiality for the amount of fuel consumed
 l Financing of the unprecedented requirements which conditions have thrust upon the $500 electric gen erating companies of America brings the banking interests of the coun. try in very close touch with the electric men who are representing the national association at the con vention here. according to R. H Ballard. president of the organiza ton.
 John B. Miller. head of one O, the largest electrical generatins companies of the West, is chairma. of the convention.

Really Not an Issue.

OF course il is true, as tho Benning-
ton Banner says, that The governor has
no more to do with the prohibition
question at present than he has with
'the price Of coal at Hardscrapple Four
Corners" and for that reason the rum
issue cannot fairly be said to be one
that should be given consideration in
gubernatorial ampaign. Neverthe-
less, it will be given consideration, and
knowledge of this unacceptable fact is
probably the reason why a statement
of personal belief Oh the subject seesm
to be good form among candidates Il
is one thing, however, to make a state
ment of personal belief and quite an
other to use the prohibition question a
the basis of ones platform. Unless
a candidate has other qualifications
than his frank espousal of prohibition
or anti-prohibition we are doubtful of
his success.
After devoting the majority Of his
platform to essential state issues Mr..
Rabbit plainly tells folks how he
feels on the question of prohibition. To
titlii Ahti tlN 0AlhAAnAtN IL a. Ait IAhN-
land Herald says, seems to us hardly
fair. He acknowledges the federal con
stitution Including the 18th amend
ment as the supreme law OF the land,
as any sane man must, but expresses
what amounts to disapproval Of the ex-
treme interpretative and enforcement
provisions Of the Nolstead law-thc
law which defines intoxicating liquor
and provides penalties for is manu-
facture and sale. He also goes square
~ on record in favor of referring con
changes directly to the peo-
pie under a referendum
These views are what he holds on the
prohibition question but they actually
have no more TO do with his qualifica-
tons for governor than the views of
Messrs. Agan. Hartness and Emery on
he same ubiect.-Brattleboro Re
former.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Hudson Not in Peril.

While it is hardly conceivable that
Congress will refuse to grant the nee
essary extension of time for construct
ing the proposed railroad bridge at
Castleton, n Y, strenuous resistance
is being offered at Washington by the
Albany interests which have striven in
every possible way to block the pro-
ject, and New England and New York
City chambers of commerce ought, per
haps, to bestir themselves and show
that the matter is one of urgent pub
lie interest. The war department has
approved this bridge, and granting an
extension of time should be no more
than formality; but the capitol dis
trict of New York state has enlisted
the services of a number of influential
persons, and there is a possibility that
politics may enter into the controyer-
sy.
The opposition hinges on the argu
ment that the New York Central rail-
road is trying to block river naviga
tion. But the opponents excite sus-
picion by the falsity of their asser
lions. Last Monday the Albany Knick-
prbocker- Press spoke of the New York
Uentral's determination to plug the
channel of the Hudson river by i'm
planting therein two massive bridge
piers 80 by so feet in size" Anyone
IN his senses knows that the war de-
partment would not sanction blocking
!he channel of a navigable river.
As matter of fact, the bridge piers, /
while they are in the river, are not in
The river channel, and across that chan
ael, which is 400 feet wide, is to be
quilt a single span 600 feet long, and

eet greater than that of Brooklyn
bridge. But the cry that the Hudson
y threatened may have some weight

TRUST BUSTING"
Governor Clement Declares That It Has
Not Reduced Prices.

The Daily News Record of New York
prints Governor p W. Clements views
on trust busting" as given in an ad
dress at the meeting of the Vermont
society at the Hotel Pennsylvania in
New York City last Saturday evening.
The governor is quoted as saying:

tereal in seeking remedies through leg
islation, for many Of our great prob
lems," and he added that he believed
it would be a good thing if Congress
would shut up shop for a while"
Washington is continually reaching
out for power Governor Clement went
on. Unless We stop it we will have
government more tyrannical than was
ever the case in any monarchy. If the
federal government was always right
whenever it interviewed, we would have
no cause for criticism. Consider for a
moment its relation to the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad com
pany. That system was broken up be-
cause ii was operating in restraint Of
trade. That breaking up has cost the
people of New England between four
and five hundred millions of dollars.

A Dollar That Does Not Shrink.

The dollar will buy to-day little
more than half what it would buy a
few years ago.
ASIA consequence, most people are
receiving great many more dollars
than they did few years ago for their
goods, services or labor.
One dollar is still a 100 cent dol
lar. That is the dollar that is saved
and judiciously invested, even in the
savings bank. Many people are throw
ing away dollars that could easily be
made 100 per cent dollars.
The dollar which buys good bonds,
which embraces the opportunity offered
to-day to buy Liberty bonds at dis
count, is worth just as much as it ever
was. and a little more.
The wise citizen realizes that and
puts away few of these dollars
against the time when they will be
needed.
The dollar which is not spent to-day,
when it will buy only about half a dol
lars worth, will be worth, when the re-
period is over, nearly twice
as much. measured in commodities, as
it is to-day.
Why spend all your dollars when
they will buy 40 little? Isn't it a wiser
plan to save some of them until they
will buy twice as much That is about

been suggested by any of the profes-

The Country Doctor.

| The large amount of sickness during
| the present winter has brought a good
many of the smaller Vermont towns
face to face with the important question
as to what it is going to do for doctors.
Several towns now have no resident
physicians and when travelling is bad it
becomes a serious matter indeed. -
The question is broad one and is di-
rectly traceable to shortage of doc
tors We understand that only about
40 per cent Of the number Of physi-
clans being graduated from medical
college ten years ago are being grad
uated to-day.
Educational standards have been
raised to a considerable extent which
has not only served TO reduce the mum
Der of potential physicians but has
also served to make a course in medi
cine so expensive that practicing in a
small town with an annual income of
from $500 to $500 year fails to
attract.
Presently we shall have to face the
problem of supplying medical assist
ance in small towns. Good roads and
the advent of the automobile have
served to improve conditions some
what as it is an easy matter for the
town doctor to get out into the coun-
try, but with such conditions as exist
for number of months in Vermont
that solution of the problem will not
apply.

promises to become worse instead of
better and presently will become in
