Company could possibly be induced to advance a loan of twenty thousand dollars secured by q mortgage on the plant and payable half in December of this year and half in December of next year. It would be useless, however. to ask for this loan unless the first two payments ($2O.000. .O0) were made by the committee and the remaining twenty thousand were payable in light craze on coal shipped by this Com pany.
 It is also requested that We be ad- vised as to who is being considered for the position of manager for the pro- posed Company.
 We would be pleased to have your decision regarding the ahove offer at the earliest possible moment.

 As matters stand at present. the company is already guilty of a serious breach of faith in fits dealings with Nnme. During his visit here. last year. Manager Davies assured the Chamber of Commerce that his com pany was willing tD accept any reas- pnable terms for the purchase of the slant. The company could not make any more than an even break. he said. and would meet half way any effort to purchase by local interests. At least by all who attended the conference.
 In the succeeding interval the com pany has not only reiterated it's dec laration of intention D retire from the lighterage busilRss but publicly offer ed to sell the pkAnt either as a whole or fin part. The latter offer. however. was suddenly withdrawn for unknown rtayms when it becaJna clear that Meme was preparing to undertake purchase of the plant. Now when fin ally brought to showdown by an offer tD purchase the entire plant at the stipulated price, the company despite it's oft reiterated desi,e to dispose of the outfit, aatly rejected the offer on the score that it ''is unwilling to con. clirde any deal which dues mt provide for a. substantial inidsi payment at time of closing"
 In the opinion of many who are in touch with the situation. the princi- pal aim of the company has been to force the people of Nome into q hole by threatening to suspend its lighter age functions. evidently believing that the citizens could not or would not atdeonpt to solve the problem thus created and would. therefore, accept without further complaint a continu-

More People Do Not Smoke Than Do.
(Sprinpfield Reporter)

In an effort to discover the senti-
ment of the country in regard to pro-
hibiting the, use Of tobacco, the Press
Service company of New York sent
out questionnaires to the newspapers
and among the replies received were
rs from Vermont editors representing
in circulation 54,321 papers. The
answers were 100 per cent. no as to
tobacco's being objectionable at all
and as to any wish for it's Punishment
by legal enactment. When it is re-
membered that the printerman who
isn't smoking like chimney two
thirds of the time is so rare as to be
practically unknown, there is no diff
Guilty in perceVing the logical Sc
quence of the 900 per cent. no." but
when it comes to representing the
views of the ladies with lace curtains,
fresh wallpaper and newly whitened
ceilings, also with strong prefer
ence for breath of atmosphere that
isn't so blue and thick you can cut
it with a knife, the inveterate smok-
ers in replying to those missionaries
were taking good deal on them
selves.

Fewer Than Half Vote
/oL. Ar1

A statistician figures it out that
So per cent of the eligible voters in
Vermont do not exercise their fran
chise right. The percentage of the
non-voting to the voting population
Of all the states is SO, and when one
considers that this average takes into
account the large non-voting negro
population of the South, it puts Yer
mont even worse off than it appears,
when compared Of other states Of nor
NAL white population. We have a
higher non-voting class than the New
England States as group; we are
over 20 per cent more delinquent than
the west north central group and
the only groups which make poorer
showing are the south Atlantic and
east south central. A possible ex-
PLANTATION of our record is that the
state is so one-sided politically that
thousands of eligible voters consider
it unnecessary that they should do
their full duty as citizens.

Judging from the "desertion" no
tees published these days in the Bar
ton Monitor, that section of country
is not very congenial to marital hap
piness. We observe that IN the most
of the cases it is the woman that has
deserted. Can it be that the man is
too strenuous in his demands for the
wife's duties, or is it that the wife is
too much given to frivolity? How is
it, Brer.. Gilpin? Orleans county is
one of the best in the state otherwise,
but in this direction it looks as if
something had gone wrong regarding
matrimonial felicity Hyde Park

A farmer of Orange county while
cultivating his farm, dug up Span
ish coin some 200 years old. We do
not know what intrinsic value it pos
sesses, but it is quite certain that
while he was discovering the money
he was also securing physical ben
eft of more value than gold. The
farmers lot may be hard one in
some respects, but it is quite different
from being shut up in dusty, roar
ing factory, breathing the foul air OF
the place, and tied to machine from
early morning till late at night.
Not every farmer can dig up gold
pieces on his land, but what is OF
more value, he can dig up health, hap
pinness and independence.

MEMORIAL DAY

Next Monday is Memorial day, a
day sacred to now almost vanished
line of blue when they can especially
renew the memory and recall the
valor of the comrades now rendez-
voused in the bivouac of the dead. It is
more than half century since John
A. Logan and few intrepid veterans
asked that May 80 be set apart as a
decoration day when the graves of
the nations defenders might be strewn
with flowers and patriotism kindled
anew by simple service of loving
recognition at the tomb of men who
died that the nation should be in
dissolvable. Some thought that the
day appointed had better be of a
Sunday, but yielding to the judgment
of their knightiy leader, Logan, the
day was set and so it will be as long
as one civil war veteran remains to
stand at attention at his country's
command.
With the passing of the years and
the diminishing numbers Of those who
filled the nations phalanx, the day
has been taking on more and more Of
a holiday event, with it's outings, base
ball and sports, until the original con-
ception is lost in the huzza of the
pleasure seeker. Last year there were
sports timed to conflict with the hour
of the Grand Army execises-thought-
less it may be, but wrong. This year
bear the admonition in mind and ar
range for no public event during the
hour when the few survivors of a
titanic struggle are attuning them
selves to the memory of companions
in arms that they must soon join.

What's the Matter?

NAOIIIoF11ACe uACooCASCA/
To read the daily papers last week
it would seem something was the mat
ter with Vermont.
Two deserters from an army camp
robbed a night lunch man at Chester
and left him in such condition that he
died in a few hours. They were fol-
lowed, caught in Massachusetts,, have
confessed the crime and will pay the
penalty.
A prominent Franklin county man
was being tried for murder of his
wife.
A farmers daughter at West Hart
ford went after the cows and did not
return for two days, having been de-
tanned by tramps.
A ST. Adams man, James O'Grady,
tried to commit suicide.
The entire crew of the Grand Trunk
Ry. train were arrested at Island Pond
for smuggling.
These were the larger items in the
count against Vermont for one short
week.
What are you going to do about it I?
