Bellows Falls out in the expense of polio
ing itself on account of the papermakerS'
lows Falls wanted to handle the situation
in its own way. which was apparently to
do nothing that would hamper the union

will bear the expense of the military force
it sent there. Since then there have been
disorders and strong police protection to
nOn-union mill workers has been neces-

NO DOUBLE STANDARDS.

The city of Denver. says its City at
-torney, will not hencefOrth recognize a
double standard of morals for men and
women. Men violating municipal morals
will be given the same punishment as
women. fef
This is distinctly hopeful. 1t ought to
help great deal in the cleaning up of
any city to Shave a determined city at
torney of this kind, backed, as Denyer's
is, by strong and equally determined
law enforcement league
The era of double standards of all kinds
is beginning to pass. There is a growing
feeling that, just as in the matter of per.
sonal morals there ought not to be one
standard for the man and another fol
the woman, so in other realms there ought
not to be one standard for diplomats ant
governments and another for the people
there ought not to be one for capital anC
another for labor; there ought not to b,
one for the rich and another for the poor
one for the politician and another for tn
| constituent.

THE BUSINESS CYCLE.

beads are rising steadily and
other gilt-edged securities, both stocks and
bonds, show similar gains. The change
is, first of all, an indication of the accu-
mutation of funds available for invest
ment. but it means much more. 1t shows
that business is definitely on the upgrade
again.
Presently we shall note activity in new
construction and new financing in every
line. This, in turn, will lead to a bull
market, logical result of increasing en-
ployment and larger payrolls, for indus
trial stocks always respond when the
public has money to spend.
The next succeeding step will be the
broadening of wholesale and retail ac-
tivities, and a natural increase alike in
loans and prices. Business men will re-
quire more credit to finance their opera
tions and, presently. the depletion Of loan
able funds and the increasing interest rate
will check the rise in bond prices. Then,
as prices progress and money grows
scarcer. bond, prices will slump and new
construction work will be reduced.
Payroll cuts viii follow. of necessity.
Wholesalers and retailers will reduce
their orders, manufacturers will be less
active and business stagnation set in
until in good time, bank loans have been
reduced and thrift has restored again the
supply of loanable funds. Again viii re-
suit the broad investment in bonds, the
rise of government and other securities.
and the cycle is complete.
The American people have had few bet
ter opportunities TO see the wheels go
round than recent years have afforded
The greater the nations thrift, the more
rapid will be the improvement in these
next months. The more persistent that
thrift. the farther removed will be the
next period of financial, industrial and
commercial depression.

WantOn killing of Deer.
(Rutland News. J

\ West Rutland deer hunter who was
in the woods near his native town the
last few days of the deer season came
across five dead does in the course of his
hunt. Each doe that meets her death in
such a manner is an example of either
ineXcusable carelessness or of wanton
disregard of the game laws of the state
of Vermont 1t is not too much to say
that the hunter who shoots a doe by mis-
take deserves to pay heavy fine for his
carelessness and the hunter who deliber-
lately shoots an animal in defiance of the
law knowing that he dare not take it
home after he has killed it should have
n taste of life behind the bars.
