Iono standino Injustice,

Eldora Ledger: Speaking of Ioya's
delegation. to the national republican
convention, this great republican state
will have twenty-six votes in that
body, while Alabama, which has new
er cast republican electoral vote in
its history, will come with fourteen
delegates. It's about time that the
republican party and the national con-
gress was giving those southern states
the real representation to which they
are entitled by the actual votes cast.
They have an inflated representation
in the electoral college that always
goes democratic. yet they deprive half
of their voters of the privilege of cast
ing a ballot. Neither body has the
nerve to make the proper apportion-
ment and see that it goes through.

Wilson Shrinking in Size,

Iowa Falls Citizen: Whether justly
or unjustly. Presiden Wilson may ex-
pect much criticism and little praise
henceforth. He is censured for ex-
trayagance. for a gigantic national
debt, for loans to Europe, for being
a dictator and undermining American
liberties, for keeping out OF war with
Mexico, for proclaiming fourteen
points Of world progress and surren-
dering on practically every point, for
bungling government ownership. for
being largely responsible for labor
unrest, etc. ETC. 1t would take a
large book to cover all the charges
against Wilson. His place in history
may not be easily foretold, but it
would seem that it is growing smaller
instead OF larger.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
The REIuRN.

l saw low-roofed rancho lie,
Far far below, at set of sun,
Along the foothills crisp and dun
A lone sweet star in lower sky;
Saw children sporting to and fro,
The busy housewife come and go,
And white COWS come at her command,
And none looked larger than my hand
Then and torn and tanned and brown,
And needless ALL ] FASTENED down,
wanderer wandering long and late,
stood before the rustic gate.
Two little girls, with brown feet bare,
And tangled, tossing yellow hair
Played the green, fantastic dressed,
Around great Newfoundland brute
That lay half resting his breast:
And with his red mouth opened wide
Would make believe that he would bite.
AS they assailed him LETT and right,
And then sprang to the other side.
And filled with shouts the willing air.
Oh, sweeter far than Tyre or lutte
To my then hot and thirsty heart,
And better self wholly mute.
Were those sweet voices calling there.
Though some sweet scenes my eyes have seen,
Some melody my ears have heard,
No song of any maid or bird,
Or splendid wealth of tropc scene
Or scene song OF anywhere,
Has my mpulsive heart stirred.
Or touched and thrilled my every part,
Or filled me with such sweet delight,
AS those young children sporting there.
And nobly Stood with lifted nose,
Afront the children, now SO still,
And staring at with will.
Come in, come in" the Eancher cried.
As here and there the housewife hied;
sit down, sit down, you travel late,
What news of politics or war?
Go you far?
And where you from? Be quick, my Kate,
The boy is sure in quest Of food.
The little children close by stood.
And watched and gazed inquiringly,
Then came and climbed upon my knee
It seemed so sweetly out of place
Again to meet my fellow man,
gazed and gazed upon his face
As something I had never SEEM
The melody Of womans voice
Fell on my ear as falls the rain
Upon the weary waiting plain
/ ate with thanks the frugal food,
The first returned for many day.
/ had met kindness by the way!
/ had at last encountered good!

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CURRENCY.

Much loss has been occaSloned by the neceS-
sity of exchanging the currency OF one country
for that of another The addition to the list OF
nations of about score by the treaty OF Yer
sailles has increased the trouble. Professor
.Justrow, of the University of Berlin, declares
that our money trading machine has broken
down. He adds that we have no need OF eS-
changing pounds and francs and marks and
pesetas and lire and roubles for dollars. Just
now the mark has fallen very low IN exchange
value and the rouble is valueless outside OF
Russia. This situation has been created by the
war.
All countries that buy or sell outside their
own borders want to have the balances paid IN
their own currencies. 1t used to be thought
that the balances were wanted in gold on the
ground that gold was in itself wealth. But gold
is not currency and it is sent as bullion. Its
utility is it's universal purchasing power
The United States has at the present time
hi market everywhere for it's goods. Butthere
is the risk of selling more than the buyers are
canable Of paying for, and Of consuming un-
necessarily ourselves what we are afraid OF sell
ing to other countries.
A writer in the New York Times says very
truly that there is now in international trade "a
babel of foreign currency language"
Tn ancient times uniform currency actually
existed. But we cannot discover how it was
managed. Certainly the complicated financial
world of today needs an international currency
Mr. Wilson felicitated the new president OF
France and remarked that NJ. Deschanelswill be

DESPATCHING TRAINS
Rutland Railroad Installing Station-to-
station Telephone system

A Nstation- to-station block telephone
signal system is now being installed on
the Rutland railroad between Alburg and
Bellows Falls. a distance of about $50
miles. The work is being done by em-
ployes OF the Western Union Telegraph
company.
system of this character has been
tried and proven successful on the single
track lines of the New York Central
railroad. The work on the Rutland road
has progressed as far as Grand Isle and
officials estimate that Bellows Falls will
lie reached shortly after the first of the
year.
] We stated yesterday that 1t was
g. light probable that the number OF
despatchers and operators would have to
he Increased in order to handle the new
syste efficiently. At the present time the
despatch!ng of trains over the lines OF
the Rutland railroad has been done en-
tirey by the use of the telegraph and II
is thought by the new system that tho
despatching will be done much more eff
GENTLY and safely.
The Rutland road is the only railroad
on this side of the State that will be
using this system of block signals, all
though the automatic block system is in
use on certain sections of the Boston q
Maine irons in the southern part Of the
State.

MISS SOPHIA BARELY =
OVERCOME BY GAS
Alone in the House, Was Found
Dead by c. L. Outlet When

Miss Sophia Barely. an elderly lady,
who was employed as a housekeeper
for Charles l. outlet at 3S Drew
street, was found dead about five
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Che had
apparently been overcome by Hum
mating gas which was escaping from

boiling clothes.
The unfortunate woman was in the
house alone and had beer doing q
washing. Mr.. Outlet. who Is en-
ployad at the Burlington rendering
Company's plnnt. reached home shortly
after five o'clock and found Miss
Barely lying on the floor beside a
couch. while both burners Of the gas
plate wore partially turned on with no
flame burning. There was a small
tub Of clothes or the gas plato. The
womnn's body was in such position
that 1t looked as though she had par
tinl1y gained consciousness and made
an attempt to get up from the couch.
but had fallen to the floor
The theory advanced as TO how Miss
Barely met her death is that she put
tho clothes on the gas plate to boil
and then lay down on the couch and
went to sleep. Indications point to the
fact that the clothes bottled ovc- and
put out the flame of the gas, allowing
the unused gas to escape into the
room which soon over;an.e the Sleep

that Is sold in the city. To date through
the efforts of the city health officer. DR..
Gu arles Ravey, three warrants have been

trial at a later date.
Julius Murray of Wiliston was Fri

in city court on charge of selling and
furnishing milk diluted with water. The
fino and costs were paid by the respond
ent
Ralph Field OF Williston, who was repre-
scented by Attorney Martin s. Villas. Field

WANT TRAINED MEN
Commercial MIX Plants Looking TO
Colleee of Agriculture for Help

The special committee. appointed by the
Vermont Federation OF Cooperative
Creameries. which was founded in this
city last spring, mot Tuesday at the
College of Agriculture. This committee
was appointed to meet with President
Bailey Dean Hills ard Professor Ellen
berger AM discuss the possibility OF the
State College os Agriculture establishing
courses which would afford practical
training for work in the commercial milk
plants of the State.
At the present time these plants handle
over s9o,0ooO00 worth Of milk every year,
which apDroxiNlates in round numbers
over 1000 600 pounds. 1t Is very diifi-
cult TO pecure men trained to this work
1t Vas proposed that the State college
should establish plant for this purpose
At the meeting. however, it was pointed
out that the State at the present time
docs not appropriate any money for tho
dairy department of the college. IN
order to get such a plant going. and
especially on large enough scale to
give practical training, 1t would be neces-
sary that the State give liberal financial
support.
The committee will look further into
the matter and find out II possible what
kind OF plant is needed and also how
much such plant would cost. other
methods of caring for the problem viii
also be studied. with a view to proposing
them at one of tho future meetings OF

force is. Mr.. Berlner points out. an ele-
mentary precaution. A herd of cows is
tested and none is Infected. Six months
later the test is again made and one
or several cows are found tubercular.
If the disease was contracted shortly
after the first test then the milk from
that herd may have been laden with
tubercle bacilli for several months. The
tuberculin test Ia valuable to the dairy
man In that II may save his entire herd
from injection, but 1t Is not enough or
protection to the public. To give tho
public clean milk, Mr.. Burllner urges
that every city should insist on proper
pasteurizatlon Of it's entire supply OF
milk and cream.
Pasteurization destroys 90 per cent OF
the bacilli which flourish In milk. even
from we]l-managed diaries. Cleanliness
In da!ry-farming Is growing, and tho
proportion Of pasturized milk and cream
is steadily increasing, through pressure
Of health officials and demands Of tho
public. and also because the dairy busi-
ness is gradually separating from the
general farm. Special precautions aud
ceremonies. that often seem so much
extra trouble to the busy farmer who
sends a few gallons Of milk to town as
n side line, become an accepted part OF
the routine on a large dairy farm.
With growing efficiency In the dairy
business and the dairy farmers orgenlz-
ing. the milk outlook Is more hopeful
than It has boen. though It will be SINE

THE MEASURE OF SUCCESS

(From the Boys Life)
1t isn't the cut of the clothes that you
wear.
Nor the stun out OF which they are
made.
Though chosen with taste and fastdious
care.
And 1t isn't the price that you paid;
1t isn't the size of your pile in the bank,
Nor the number of acres you own.
1t isn't a question of prestige or rank.
Nor of sinew and muscle and bone;
1t isn't the servants that come at your
call.
1t isn't the things you possess,
Whether many or little--or nothing at all,
It's service that measures success.
1t isn't question of name, or Of length
OF an ancestral pedigree,
Nor a question of mental vigor and
strength,
Nor a question of social degree;
II isn't question of city or town.
Nor a question of doctrine or creed.
1t isn't a question of fame or renown,
Nor a question of valorous deed;
But he who makes somebody happy each
day,
And he who gives heed to distress,
Will find satisfaction the richest of pay
For it's service that measures success
