The agitation relative to the change
in the schedule of the Corinth-B Brad
ford stage brings to mind the saying
"Facts are stubborn things" The
writer will confess that when the
change was first made he, too, was
inclined to be somewhat indignant
but Mr. C L Speare's explanatory
letter in the Barre Times of Jan 9th
states facts and figures which show
that no injustice has been done, and
the arrival of the mails at Cookville
at from four to six hours earlier
than under the schedule is a con-
venience not to be despised The
petition, which the writer has been
informed was circulated recently,
opposing the change, was started
previous to the appearance of Mr.
Speare's explanation, which it would
seem should answer the criticisms
satisfactorily.

DEMOCRATS STRIKE A SNAG.

Democratic propagandists are busy
trying to show that the -Four Power
Treaty" is sort of first cousin to
the League of Nations and that our
Republican President, who was elect
ed on his stand against the league,
has simply adopted Mr. Wilson's pet
hobby under a new name. These
propagandists are up against most
difficult snag and the most they can
hope for is to hoodwink some of the
unthinking who do not read the news.
The four-power treaty takes up
four small paragraphs. 1t is definite
and positive. 1t is not treaty
against" anything or anybody, but is
treaty "for" peace. 1t is not an
alliance. 1t does not propose de-
fensive and offensive agreement, such
as the League of Nations, and it does
not bind any nation to send troops
anywhere at any time, or under any
conditions. Il y
Even if the treaty were an exact
duplicate of the League of Nations
contract Tor covenant" which means
contract) we fail to see where the
Democratic propagandists get any
solace other than proof that the
people have confidence in a thing
when proposed by Republican adj
ministration, after refusing the same
thing under Democratic administra-
ton.
There is no doubt about how the
people feel on the treaty, and if any
Democratic gentlemen aspire to run
for office on the platform of oppos-
ing it-well, bring 'em on and see
what happens.-Joplin (Mo.) News

Small plants can proftably pur-
chase power rather than generate it.
A study Of nearly 200 steam-electric
plants in the region between Boston
and Washington indicates that the
quantity of fuel consumed by them
varies from 6.23 pounds per kilowatt-
hour for the small plants to 2.14
pounds for plants with a capacity of
more than 100000 kilowatts.
Even more striking is the vibration
in the cost of maintenance, labor and
supply amounting to S23,10 per kilo-
watt-year of effective capacity for
small plants, but only S5.46 for
plants of more than 100000 kilowatts.

THE WORLDS SMALLEST
RAILROAD.

In Cumberland, England, the Esk-
dale Railway is neither a toy nor
model but is of real commercial util-
ity and a unique engineering feat on
a small scale.
Constructed in 1876, the line was
originally of 2 fit. 9 in. gage, and was
used to convey iron ore. In 1915, a
company known as Narrow Gage
Railways Ltd leased the line. which
was converted to Is in. gage and
equipped with the biggest model
locomotives and rolling stock in exis-
tence.
A maximum speed of 35 miles an
hour is attained by the locomotives,
which are also capable of drawing a
load of II tons on the level at speed
of IA miles an hour-quite a respect
able performance. The 7-mile journey
takes about 80 minutes; 76 passengers
constitute a full load.
Each open coach accommodates 8
people 1.-TWO abreasO, and weighs
when empty about 500 pounds. For
winter traffic, closed coaches weigh
ing 24OO pounds and seating II people
are run. The locomotives weigh 3
tons each, with a length of Is it,, 2
in, and height from rail level to top
of stack of #. 8 in.
