Barre is losing one of it's granite
finishing plants, indirectly, at least,
the result of the strike. The indus
try as a whole has suffered from this
trouble and it is unfortunate, both
for manufacturer and laborer, that
such must always be the case when
protracted troubles in an industry are
precipitated. 1t is said the textile
business in New England is losing
considerable manufacturing to the
southern states because of the pres
ent trouble in that industry, and the
same has been said of the shoe man
ufacturing business in the past.
These great upheavels always injure
more than those directly concerned
The communities, the states and even
those sections like the New England
states suffer. 1t is only another
demonstration that we do not live to
ourselves alone but that our action
has a bearing on the action of every
one else in the community and that
strikes and lockouts concern the pub
lie to such an extent that there
should be some method of settling
difficulties between capital and labor
besides brute strength.

Not Due to Drink.
bellows Falls Times)

The Rutland Herald, still unrecon-
ciled to national prohibition, remarks:
ITO prohibition might be credited the
economic gains from sobriety, if there
were any; the saving in maintaining
jails, prisons, hospitals, retreats, asy-
lums for the inane, etc., but unfor-
tunately SO far as Vermont is con
cerned, we find the state prison full
and overfowing, the state hospital
for, the insane and home for feeble
minded overcrowded, the industrial
school unable to care for all the chill
rem that might be committed and the
largest number of men and women on
probation known III the history OF
the state"
1t is true that the jails and asv-
lums in Vermont are full but it is
not true that alcoholism is the cause
The editor of the Times was in CON
yersation last week with the dire tor
of state institutions and he gave it
as his opinion that prohibition had
little or nothing to do with the crowd
ed conditions. A recent inquiry
among three hundred or more in
mates Of the state penitentiary al
Windsor failed to connect their pres
ence there to booze to any unexpect-
ed extent. Only about II per cent.
were there because of the consump-
ton or the manufacture or illegal dis
tribution of booze Crimes arising
from unemployment and the mental
state following the world debauch-
erv of war are what have filled our
jails.

Ex-Governor Fletcher Dead.

governor of Vermont from 1912 to
1914, was found dead in room at
the Berwick hotel in Rutland We'd
nesday morning, May 10. Death was
declared due to a cerebral hemorr-

Mr. Fletcher was one of Vermont s

real estate holdings in indianapolis.
Former Governor Fletcher had pre-
sided the night before as chairman of
board of judges at prize-speaking
contest at Middlebury college, after
which he went to Rutland with for
naer Lieutenant Governor Frank E.
Howe of Bennington, a fellow Judge

little tired" before retiring, Mr..
Fletcher gave no indication of weak
ness. When he failed to keen a
breakfast appointment with Mr.. Howe
the latter went to his room and found
him dead.
Ex-Governor Fletcher is survived

State Expenses.
bennington Bannar1

How are they going to feel about
it when they find that the legislature
of next year will have to assess an
extra state tax to meet the deficits
created by the failure of the legisla-
lures of 1919 and 1921 to meet their
awn bills?
It is favorite legislative trick to
indulge in extravaganza and generosi-
ty AMI then leave the next legislature
to ray the bills. This is precisely
what the legislatures of 1919 and
1921 have done and the coming legis-
lature must raise the money and set
tie the account.
The candidates for governor are
truthful when they declare earnestly
for economy but they have no control
over the past and the state must in
honor pay the bills already contract
ed.
The visible tax rate, to which the
Argus refers, is a serious burden.
The invisible tax, collected Indirect
" IS two or three times as much as
the visible tax and is growing worse
every year.
How much worse must it grow be-
fore the people will wake up to force
an Improvement?
In our little state sof Vermont the
overhead expenses OF the education
department and the health depart
naent have jumped S15O,0OO year,
almost over night. Practically all of
this for salaries-another bunch Of
officials attached to the pay roll and
living off the toll and sweat of the
taxpayers.
How much better service is the
state getting in these departments
than it was five years ago? Not
enough so that it is evident to the
average person. Yet when some can
didates talk about reducing state ev-
penses they mildly suggest the abol-
ishment of a few commissions which
might save the state rs cents week

Training Camp Association for the
completion of enlistments of boys and
young men between the ages of II
and rs years for the Citizens Mill
tary Training Camp to be held at
Camp Devens during the month of
August. Owing either to lack of
knowledge on the part of many of the
boys who have declared an intention
of fling applications for attendance
at the camp in regard to the time
limit, or because they have been mis-
informed as to the proper procedure
in making applications the number
thus far filed is below expectations.
Practically all the boys who attend

Red training course are listed to
take the White course this year, and

enter for this seasons first course OF

The "Great Falls Project in Troy.
(Stanstead Up. o. IournaD

Engineers have been examining the
big falls on the Missisquoi river,
south of North Troy village recently.
The development of the power posi-
bilities of the 80-foot drop of the
water from about 135 square miles of
watershed, was the project of the
late Everett Forsythe, who held NOM
inal control of it, the same having
since passed to the National Bank.
Newbury, of Wells River. Mr.. For
sythe was ahead of the times in this
problem. The power was to be had
at these falls, but when he began to
try to interest capital, the distance
which current could be profitably
transmitted was more than so p--
cent. less than today, consequently
the market was too limited and would
not warrant the investment. Condi-
lions are altogether different today,
great voltage is easily and safely
transmitted long distances and the
uses and consumption of current have
multiplied. The Harvesting of the
5000 horse power of these falls will
mean a GREAT deal to this valley and
particularly to North Troy.

apply to Judge Wright of the Orleans

Wright holds jurisdiction, because OF

pointed the way.

This paper most heartily congrat-
ulates the management of the Or
leans County fair in taking a decided
stand to clean its grounds of gam
bling devices hereafter. This does not
mean that there need be no midway,
but that chance games must go. Ii
this stand is adhered to it will do
much to place the fair in stronger
position with the majority of the
people of the county, and the in1u-
ence of this fair upon other exhibit
tions in the state will be felt. We
believe the stand is best for the fair
management and the people at large.
Let us see to it that our appreciation
of the act is made known.
