Rural or Urban ?

An "urbanization' Of the American
people-that is, the slow conversion OF
the majority of them from country
people into city peoples apparent in
the preliminary figures Of the 1920
census, Just as il was quite definitely
apparent in the full returns OF the cen
sus of 1910 and 1900 In 1900 the dis
tinctly urban percentage had risen to
3I.2. In 1910 it was $40, and in 1870,
if present tendencies are maintained in
the full return, it is said that It will
be 800 per cent. Thus the city popu-
lation climbs steadily toward the pro
portion of one half, or more than one
half. OF the whole, which some time 1t
NAV attain In other words, the pres
eut drift indicates that, like England,
we are likely to become predominantly
an industrial country, and that in that
day we shall no longer have the pre-
ponderating vote of the sturdy yeo-
man" TO counterbalance the influence Of
the industrial proletariat.'
1t may be noted that even now, II
the line between rural and urban pop
ulation be drawn with towns OF over
$500 people instead of over 10000, we
have an urban population, as already
reported, of 46.3 per cent, and II may
rise above 80 per cent, as against ton
the same line of cleavage SO per cent
80 wears ago. But it is needless to cay
that the population Of towns OF $500
people hardly possesses, in fact. the
5'urban" characteristics. Essentially the
people Of cities and towns of less than
10000 people are, except in the case of
the suburbs of cities, country people
and we here use this word in its favor
able sense. and not with any unfavor
able meaning whatever The CONNER
eiai population Of towns of less than
10000 people is generally dependent for
means Of subsistence upon the agricul
tural population, and happily partakes
OF its general character Let us hope
that ii will continue 70 do So and that
the day when the majority Of our pop
ulation will be "industrialiEed' Is still
fsirly far away After all, great part
of the moral or well as the material
strength OF our republic is due TO the
fact that we are more rural than urban.
The roots Of our republic are in the
soil. We are not ready 10 transfer

The Allies and Russia.

II was fortunate for the allies that
wireless telegraphy was available when
the time came to ask Russia to spare
Poland so thoroughly has Russia been
isolated that without wireless it might
have been difficult to get into official
communication with Moscow. 1t is not
the first time that the allies have had
to use wireless for asking favor !;
when Denekine's forces which they
had been supporting were crushed
the allies, unable to remove his men
to a place of safety, begged for elem
ency and the request was granted,
"What shall we do with you?" the
Moscow government asked the captured
officers Send us to fight the Poles
many of them replied, and it was done.
Now they are pursuing the Poles and
the allies are again using the wireless
to ask clemency, this time for Poland.
These relations make it rather ABB
surd to ask whether the allies are
recognizing the soviet government,
Technically they are not, and Bonar
Law is quite correct in re.assuring the
House of Commons upon this point.
Practically, however, the allies in their
proposals for peace between Russia and
Poland are accepting the soviets as the
de facto rulers of Russia, competent to
negotiate in regard to its new frontiers.
There can be no question that without
formal recognition the soviet govern
ment BY its successive victories over
domestic and foreign foes has won a
new diplomatic status. In such matters
a legalistic view is out of place. Rus
STA il so vast and so isolated as to con
stitute a world in itself; any govern
ment which solidly establishes itself
there is the Russian government by
virtue of governing Russia rather than
by grace of foreign diplomats.
Diplomatic intercourse, naturally, is
not to be looked for till peace is made.
The rupture of diplomatic relations is
always the first step Of governments
which are beginning war, and so long
as the allies are virtually at war with
Russia the exchange of diplomatic
courtesies is out of place. If peace is
now TO be made, we may expect some
fcym of diplomatic intercourse TO be
arranged. if only because of the practi.
cal inconvenience OF having to discuss
important matters at long range by
wireless telegraphy.
A beginning has already been made
in the negotiations with krassin, who
Is now returning from Moscow TO Lon
don with authority from the soviets to
grant the preliminary requirements OF
the allies. II the negotiations succeed,
it is improbable that the diplomatic
machinery thus set up win be disman.
tied, and it will he only question of
time when conventional diplomatic in
tercourse will be established Vet in
the case Of Russia this is relatively
unimportsnt matter which may be left
10 the course Of events The essential
thing is TO wind up the yelled Wat in
which the allies have been discounted
and Inundated, and to put the i'm
mense economic resources Of Russia at
the service Of Europe Springfield Re

1918 Roofing slate made up more than
half the value, $3,O40,000, an increase
of 80 per cent in value and 20 per cent
in quantity. The average price per
square increased from 1854 in 1918 to
S640 last year.
The uses of slate are increasing and
the list is growing longer as modern
science finds new uses. The report
names the following: Roofing slate,
mill stock for sanitary and structural
purposes, slate for use in electrical in
stalations. for black boards, for school
states, for billiard tables, for tomb
stones, crosswalks, well covers and for
small pieces for embedding in asphalt
as material for fiat roofs.
Vermont and Rutland county are par
ticularly interested in the latter devel-
opment of the industry. Extensive con
struction work on the unit basis is now
under way between Poultney and Fair
Haven on the plant of the Vermont
Milling Products company, affiliated
with the Certain-teed Products COM
pany of st. Louis, big dealers in roofing
materials. The company's No. mill
will be in operation in August, 1t is eX-
pected. and the new industry promises
to assume large proportions. The first
unit viii handle 40 tons of slate an
hour, or 10000 tons annually, and that
alone will materially swell the state
figures next year Indications are that
the new industry will become one of
the most important in the state.
Ground slate for roofing purposes is
hot entirely new, but its use was ex
tended during the war in government
construction work and individual build
ers also experimental satisfactorily

increased and two new quarries last
year were equipped to handle it, The

New Business for Farmers.

The time is coming and in the near
future when some of the enterprising
farmers who own farm lands situated
along the trunk lines, that are used by
automobile tourists, will fit up a GER
tain plot of land for camping purposes.
Many an easy dollar could be earned at
very reasonable outlay of money
They want something that has just a
little novelty in it, We know of some
farmers located almost within the vii
lage limits, who by investing a few
dollars in some modern tents both for
sleeping purposes and storing automo-
biles, could in our Judgment show prof
it that would be a regular mortgage

Japan no longer needs an alliance, and
it certainly does not fear an attack by
the United States. Acute points of con-
troversy exist, and feeling in Japan

California question than is generally

Taft,s Independence.

Mr., Taft's selection by the Grand
Trunk railroad to represent it on the
board of arbitration which will de
termine the value of the stocks to be
taken over by the Canadian govern
ment, recalls his highminded reason
for determining not to practice law
when his presidential term was over,
He felt that it would be a cause of EN-
barrassment if lie were to appear in
court and argue cases before judges
whom he had himself put upon the
bench. He therefore abandoned thought
of what would naturally have been a
very lucrative practice. 1t is no secret
that much of his wearisome travelling
and speech making has been uncom-
plainingly undertaken to exc out his
private income. The service to which
the Grand Trunk has called him in
wolves no advertisements and is some
thing for which he is well qualified
No doubt our Canadian cousins will
remunerate him handsomely, as they
ought to, for the job.-Springfeld Re

NO LICENSE FOR THIS MAN.

Secretary Of State Black will re-
ceive the appreciation of most of the
people of the state for his stand in
refusing to grant an operators license
TO Edward Daley Of Burlington, who
was recently pardoned by Gov. Clement
after having been sentenced on the
charge of manslaughter for running
down and killing young woman in
Burlington last summer The evidence
brought out in the trial showed that
the car which struck the young woman
was moving at very rapid pace, that
there was no slackening Of the speed
when the woman was hit and that the
tail light Of the car was switched of
promptly as if to prevent the securing
Of the number of the vehicle. The jury
decided that Daley was the driver Of
that car and the judge sentenced him
to a term in prison. Clement pardoncd
the man, and now Daley has come 20
the secretary Of state for the right TO
operate a motor vehicle this summer
As We understand the situation, Sec
rotary Black has refused 70 grant the
license, declaring that the fact of a
pardon by the governor does not quail
fy the applicant for the right to oper-
ate.
IL the state is to maintain some de
gree of safety on the highways it Is
no way to go about it by Immediately
giving a license TO man who less than
a year ago was convicted Of killing
woman by striking her when his car
was moving at a rapid speed. Respect
for the motor vehicle laws Of the state
would drop TO a low point # there
should be such a miscarriage Of the in
tent Of the law Everywhere there Is
clamor TO prevent speeding Of motor
vehicles. and Secretary Of State Black
is taking many steps TO bring about
the desired condition. He cannot, there
fore. consistently grant a license TO
this man Daley.

Judging by the newspaper reports,
there are more drownings to every one
hundred persons in Vermont than in
any other state of the union The rec
ord of casualties this summer has been
unusually long, and in nearly all in
stances the deaths were due TO inabil.
ity to swim or to only partial com
petence in that art, There is great
need of attention to teaching the young
people how to swim. Parents could
profitsbly spend little time during
the summer in giving few simple les
sons in swimming, providing, of course,
the parents had gained proficiency in
the ability to move about in the water.
Older boys could do splendid work in
paying some attention to the young
sters padding about on the edge Of
the pools with them. The youngsters
learn readily from the older boys and
they would learn much faster by lit
tie individual instruction.
