Political After-Thoughts.
(Rutland Herald. j

The editor of the Mortified News, him
self an eyewitness, grows facetious when
he refers to the Greater Vermont meeting
as follows:

The Herald had no particular inter est
in the meeting other than a news and
community interest, but it would be guilty
of newspaper my0pia, reporters strabis-
mus and political astigmatism if it did
not relaize the political slants and angles
of the Greater Vermont meeting.
To begin with, the active and applied
interest of Frederick ~. Babbitt of Bel

those yarns about his retiring from state
activities. Rabbits service was earnf St,
ungrudging and of great value
Governess HartneSs did not do himself
any good by his sharp answer to Auditor
Gates, and the challenging query of John

at the present governor any more than

the subject from his standpoint ably,

possible, cited the salient and material
facts, then dropped the subject and went
on with others.
Delivered without notes, without repe-
titions, without prejudice and with a
fluent command of simple but effective

marked impression and caused many COM

Automobile Deaths.
(St. Adams Messenger

The automobile in New England takes
a higher death toll than for the average
of the country, with the exception of the
states of Maine and Vermont Connect
cat has death rate per 100000 of papu-
lation of 1876; Rhode Island, 12.S; Mas
sachusetts, III; New Hampshire, 11.3 ;
Vermont, 50; and Maine, 90. Compare
lively Vermont is not very bad. Actually
she is worse than she ought to be be-
cause no one can claim that all of orr
automobile deaths are unavoidable. The
Messenger has no doubt that one of the
most important factors making lor the
relatively small rate in Vermont is the
activity of Secretary of State Black in
enforcing the automobile law.
highly significant that there has never
been brought against this department a
single charge of favoritism. Mr. Black
has convinced the public that ne means
business and that all men look alike to
him. If this firm restraint had been miss
ing during the recent years, no doubt we
would have had many more deaths. Law
enforcement cannot do it ALL and the final
test is with the driving public itself But
Black is doing excellent work.

CAUSE HALF
MILLION DOLLAR Loss

THE bold field OF rustling has gone
and will perhaps new return" said
Vernon Metcalf. secretary Of the Ne
vada Livestock Association Monday
morning, but losses are still so
large from cattle theft. that a con-
siderable part Of the annual meeting
to be held in Reno Friday and Satur-
day will be devoted to put a stop to
theft.
Some stock lei have estimated
that the cattle industry of Nevada is
suffering an annual loss of close on to
half million dollars through the work
of the small rustler, who cuts out
one or two head. and disposes Of the
carcasses to a local butcher, or ped
dies the meat himself. There are
100000 head of cattle, approximate
ly, In Nevada to-day. The estimate
loss would show rustlers secure 49,
900 head. Figuring at the amount
placed as value a head for taxation,
s32, this means $4S0,000 lost to the
cattle producing men OF the State.
1.-TWO principal features of the at
tempt to curb this theft will be taken
up in the proposed asking Of new leg
islation to protect the industry. One
will be the changing of the brand law
so that instead of brands being regis
tered at county seats. there will be a
clearing house of brands at some one
central point. This will overcome a
multiplicity, and often a serious du-
plication of brands in one general
section. 1t will be possible under
this law to register brands with more
degree of certainty than now pos
sible, and enable a closer watch to be
kept on stolen cattle.
THE second desired law will be
one which has already been passed by
several western States, a law compel
ling slaughters, retailers and peddlers
to secure licenses Of their business.
Under the license there should be q
provision compelling them to keep
book records of all cattle bought,
with description and dates purchased.
with adequate inspection facili-
ties, central point of brand registra-
ton together with a record of cattle
bought, slaughtered and sold in the
State, a material decrease should be
shown in rustling activities. Ca
zette.

DEMAND FOR SILVER Elk
CEEDs PRESENT OUTPUT

Coleman q Reitse Of New York
have prepared a brief review Of the
silver situation Of the world at the
beginning Of 1921. which goes far
toward showing q genuine shortage
exists and that the trend Of the price
OF bar silver in 1891 win probably be
upward. From an ad~vance-proof,
the following facts are extracted:
worlds silver output in 1920 es-
timatsd at 1s4,o0o.ooo ine ounces
or lo,60o,ooo ounces less than In
1919. American output last year,
5o,42s,0 900 ounces. q compared with
5s,sss,445 ounces In 1919 and a.
s45,s27 ounces in 1915. The article
criis attention to the European stu
alton as follows:
Pronounced excess in consumption
over production has been the domin-
ant feature OF the silver situation
since 1915.
In four years British India used
s1s,000,00o ounces for coinage pur-
poses. Of which 2s0,121,554 silver
dollars from our Treasury were used
to make up the difference between
production, miscellaneous remelting
and this single source Of demand.
In Europe in the past year the
temptation to remelt silver coinage
to secure the profit in the difference
betw cen the higher bullion and ex-
change value as compared with the
face value Of this coinage undoubt-
eddy partly contributed to the prob
lem OF meeting the deficiency in pro-
duction.

WORK NOT STARTED

Several articles have appeared in
numerous State papers during the
past week to the effect that a number
of men are now employed upon the
Thompson smelter, says the Mason
Valley News. Upon inquiry into the
matter we are informed by those In a
position to know that up to the pres
emit no work has been commenced at
that place nor was It likely that any
great amount of work would be done
in the next few months. 1t is the in
tention of the smelter people to in
stall e reverbratory furnaces, but
owing to the present market price Of
copper 1t is somewhat doubtful as to
the exact date when the work will be
commenced.
