CURRENT COMMENT
The Way for Vermont.

State papers are eriticising the in
crease in state expenses and the re-
sulting increase of the tax burden. 1t
is iustifable complaint, but it is
negative in its nature. After all Is
said and done, the way out for the
state OF Vermont is to follow the Hart
ness doctrine that what is needed is
action which will create new values
and thereby make available increased
tax sources Some day the state will
elect a legislature which will devote
itself 10 this constructive effort, and
no better work could be done by the
state press than TO foster the idea.
Eliminate all personalities from the
movement, make ii a state endeavor.
The people have shown that they are
for it. Mex: is required legislature
big enough to drop petty wranglings
and broad enough to go after big
things for the state instead of after
scalps Of individusls.--St. Adams

SIGNS OF BETTER TINES
BE OPTIMISTIC.

The ups and downs of business life
are reflected to great extent in the
condition of the market in the large
cities, chiefly in New York City. Stocks
receive their impressions from the
source; if there is the slightest trend
toward better business the stocks show
a greater degree of frmness, and, on
the other hand, if orders fall of, the
stocks slump. So the stock market
becomes the barometer of business for
the entire country. People have come
to watch the stock market whether
they be participants in the activities
or not. The period of business depres.
sion throughout the country has been
so long and so pronounced that they
are looking for the first signs of bet
ter times as revealed by the baron.
eter. OF course, there are certain in
fuences at work on certain stocks
which do not reflect the general condi.
ton of business; and it is necessary
TO differentiate between special sky
rocketing of certain stocks and the
general trend upward in order to as
certain the true condition.
While watching the stock market
during the last few days for evidences
of better times to come, observers
have been struck more and more by
what is described as frmer tone in
many features on the stock exchange.
Instead of stories of curtailed bust
ness, omission Of dividends and similar
signs of slackened business there are
now coming to the barometer the in.
1uences brought about by reports of
moderate improvement in business
conditions throughout the country, Of
slightly increased orders and cor
responding acceleration of output in
many branches of industrial activi-
ties. In addition TO that, the railroads
report increased transportation of
products; and there are scattered re-
ports Of large sales. To be sure, the
improvement is scarcely perceptible as
vet, but there is a certain lifting of
gloom, new hesrtening that the cor
ner really has been turned on the road
to renewed prosperity. The country
is beginning to take on new courage
and, perhaps, TO prepare for the re-
sumption of normslcy.
1t will be some time before the fun
effects Of the expected business re-
vivsl will be felt in special industries
somewhat removed from the ordinary
channels of business; but in due sea

stores, our own granite plants here in

day he struck out for a career as an
actor.
He Joined one company after another,
meeting a succession of financial dis
asters; sometimes having to walk home,
at other times getting no salary and
coming back broke" At length he Sc
cured an engagement with Ward and
Vokes in musical comedy. 1t was while
with these stars that he developed his
famous characterization Of Busy Izzy,'
around which he later had a play writ
ten, in which he starred successfully for
fourteen years.
1t was his ambition to play a serious
character in which he might portray the
Jew as he really was and his chance
came when he was cast for the part OF
theatrical manager in 1.-THE Show Shop"
He made a success in the part, but the
public did not care for the play and 1t
was withdrawn. He had the idea Of a
play mapped out In his mind and con-
suited several well-known authors about
1t, but none took any interest in it until
he met Aaron Hoffman. The latter be-

GEORGE SIDNEY COMES
THURSDAY IN BIG SUCCESS.
The artistic portrayal Of the character
of the Jewish merchant in "Welcome
Stranger" by George Sydney, has brought
that player into the limelight During
the years run Of the play in Chicago, and
an entire season in New York, the at
tention of the public has focused on
the player who had won the position of
the foremost impersonator of the Jew
On the American stage. 1t was not the
well known caricature of the Jew with
the long beard and the hat down on his
ears-he was the Jew as we know him in
American life. The speech was at the
time idomatic, but there was no dialect.
So realistic was the performance that one
felt doubt that Sydney was acting. He
seemed to be the character, itself.
George Sidney was brought up Ia the
popuIous district Of New York, known as
the east side. The public schools fur
nished his education and the vaudeville
theaters of the Bowery gave him his first
taste for the stage. His triumph in this
direction was at an amateur competi-
ton in Miners Theater, where he won
an order for a ton of coal. This was
rapidly followed by other victories which
soon filed the parental cellar with coal
and the larder with barrels of -four.
George had a perfectly good Job in a
photograph gallery, but the call of the
