THE CENTRAL VERMONT TRAIN. | The disposition of the Central Ver- mont railroad relative to accommo- dating the people of Connecticut, is plainly indicated by its determination | st for the re- morning train, and | of the public | t be return- | not to grant their reque of the early irn orde y disregard- the Conn to cater to LAG.AdIBLl trad aling “from the decision commis- slon, a « been in- d for Willimar Jer the comm nd train beyond t line is grounds for an ¢ to make the traveling public s go without that desired | service until September at least and | very likely longe nder the policy of delay, is too fimsy to be expected 10 suc In the removal of the early morn- ing train the Central Vermont road is aking off one of ils best paying trains. | According to the officiai statement, the | train paid 43 ¢ nis 4 mile, and it that otk was ents and less this showing with the display of the inclination to provide Dbe equip ment and service which accommo- dates the people of Connecticut. In- stead passenger rains are operated here simply to ommodate the road. Jonnecticut residents are made to take | what is n the shape of a | schedule o accommodate | Montreal and northern New England | passengers. Such independence and an apparent determination to slight Connecticut residents who depend up- on the service the road and par- ticularly the e train in the con- duct of their business and in the re-' ceipt and despatch of the mail would warrant taking the matter before the aext session of the legislature for the teeaking of the existing lease of the road and requiring that the owners opérate it under their charter for the onvenience of the people that it erves. Norwich is not alone in de- | siring the improvement of the rvice ot replacing the trains, for it exists along the entire line in this state. Business men in particular ‘haturally feel hurt at the attitude of the road MEANING OF DOG DAYS. morrow opens the season 8o com- dog days, and with 1y associated the com at during that period, | early in September, liable to go mad become an additional | safety of the public, If | hot the belief is given | menace to the 1y 1 strength and precautions | see that the dc are muz- | 1 many dogs this never does | any harm whether the weather iz hot or cold, but the fear of additional dan- | ger from dogs during that period | causes much anxiety { It is ¢ he cause of thapksgiv- | ng when the dog days’ period is over, | for not a few of the timid, to whom | 1 Te to know that hydro- | a 18 shown, according to records more common in the spring | he summer. 1 of abandoning cani il is worse during | the next few weeks is urged by the York Herald, which says: “It | annot be repeated too often, and we | say it once more, the term ‘dog dayvs' | has nothing to do with dogs.

E. T.

This continual- ly decrcases the enroliment and the supervision of such schools in inade- quate, The stremg virule rural school of a generatiom ago has gone and in ity place 18 & primary school weak in numbers and lacking in efficiency, thus reducing the opportunities of the boy or girl in the country. ' To get more out of such schools more must be put into them or the children transported to schools where the opportunities are. In many Imstances the attendance has dwindled go that it is inadvisable to matmtain the small schools of the past. ‘Whagever the remedy the pupils sheuld not be made to suffer, | operators to t | the | staging a | when | dorses the sentiment, AVOIDING HYPOCRISY: Boss Flinn of Pennsylvania dees and he doesn't. He wants to do every- thing that Reosevelt wants him to do in the way of carrying the state of Pennsylvania on his shoulders, but he dees not want to leave the republican party and the control of the organiza- tlon In that state for the inferior: job of gulding the destinies of the third termer’s party. It is perfectly plain that the duty of the adherents of Roegseveit in Pennsylvania as anywhere is to conduct their affairs under their own party organization, for failing to recognize the action of the national convention and supporting a self- nominated candidate they are simply leeches on the republican party. As previously said, there is but one course for them to pursue and that is to have the electors on the republican ticket who intend to vote for Roose- velt resign and have the yvacancies filled by Taft nien, the third party renaming their electors under their own party name. Flinn intends to con- trol the state politics of both parti but the action to be honest should fol- low the course in Illinois. There the view taken by Governor | Deneen and other state officers on the republican ticket is the proper one, in !fact the only one which could rezson- ably be expected. It is an impossible thing to be in two political parties at the same time and do honest work for both, and that applies as well to the state as to the national organiza- tions. The action of Illinois ought to influence some of the other states to similar action. SWINDLING THE PEOPLE. As the alleged root of all evil money has a hold upon people like a grip of steel, and the manner in which they continue to its influences, warrants the belief that experience falls to teach or that the lessons are not severe enough. Some are born with the desire to swindle, others de- velop it, and still others are innocent- ly drawn into those avenues of decep- tion which separate the gullible from their money over and over again, So becomes its operation that the process often exists under the guise of business. Great profits tempt the all cHances, depend- ing upon the people to do their part in giving up their money to make fakirs | rich, In the past fiscal year the American people were fliched of the sum of one hundred and twenty million dollars, and this by the class which operated through the United States mail. That people fall to profit by almost daily swindlings, is evident by the fact that this was practically fitty million reater than in the previous year. The frauds have not been allowed to op- erate without opposition, for the post office inspectors arrested 1,063 opera- tors of fraudulent schemes, of whom were convicted and 571 are awaiting final disposition of their cases. People in all classes “of life, even millionaires, doubtless made rich by their operat have been taken into the toils. Yet with all this there rests a big respor lity upon the peo- ple in misled into wide open fakes, seem to indicate tha the people can put a check on erations if they will. the op- EDITORIAL NOTES.

Why don’t you stay at home and fatten up? You could gét a big steak every day in the week at the club for whn.t you'd pay for it once on a vacatio The little stenographer him suspiciously, but there wasn't a hint of a smile in his eyes. “Wel, I am considering it,” she ad- mitted. ,“When I think of all the mon- ey I've wasted on vacations it makes me positively ili! Actually I could run an automobile on it! . “Besides, what do vacations amount to?” went on the little stenographer. “I can go in bathing Kere at home just as well—the water's just as re- freshing. I can sit on the sand here, just as well, and it will be just as sticky and grimy. 1 can walk around under a stylish sunshade and sit on the porch and talk, in my ‘best clothes, exactly as well and as satisfactorily as I can 'way off somewehere at large expense, “Then when it's all over.I can look in my purse, count a roll of bills that haven't been spent and get seats for all the shows I want to see during the year! “It would mean a chance to get ac- quainted with one’s friends, too. Hon- estly, I've got dozens of married friends who I know would be glad to have me go out and see theém, but I never have the chance. Think what I could accomplish in the way of re- newing old friendships in the course of two or three weeks!™ The bookkeeper nodded his com- mendation. “Then you'll have & chance to take in a bunch of summer parks, won't you?” he sald. “And you can see the sights that youv'e never had time too look at, and you can hear the good music, take long rides, g0 out into the woods, pick flowers, have picnics—oh, there's so much one can do! “That's what they all say,” added the bookkeeper. “But why can't you be honest? Why don't you say right out that there’'s no use in your going | up to the lake if Jimmy isn't going to be there, that if he’s to be in town vou'd just as soon stay, too? Why don’t you tell me truthfully that you expect to sleep as late as you can, getting up in time to press your dress before Jimmy arrives to take you out?

This is the season when they used to gath- er about the festive board. Taft is progressive enough mnot to leave a hole behind him should he be defeated. His administration has paid its ydeots. Roosevelt didn't. There is a difference between $25,000,000 be- hind and $50,000,000 surplus There is no denying the fact that politics has had a rear-end collision and the debris has not yet been gath- lered up; but all conservative Ameri- are ‘standing together for the itution and the integrity of the courts IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN i ACCURACY. Why do we ever use the word “per- fect?” Did you ever see a perfect thing, ever h smell or taste one? ‘When you “perfect” you are merely speaking:of an idea. There i3 no perfect flower, horse sor happiness. A revivalist once asked his congre- gation if any one had ever known or heard of a perfect person. “If so,” he cried, “stand up.” There was a dra- matic pause. [Then &n old woman in tree, a poke bonnet arose in the rear of the room. “Ah, sister! you said know the evangelist. someone who is 3ut 1 done hearn o' one.” “And who was that?" “It my husband’s first wife.” Aside from this example of utter perfection, there is none on record. A man once went to John A, Br: shear, the famous mechanical expert of Pittsburg, says Mr. Super, and ask- ed him what it would cost to have a bar of glass made that would be abso- lutely straight. Brashear reflected a while and then said he could not make one, but he could come quite near it for two hundred thousand dollars. After |a few remarks on absolute accuracy ! by the renowned mechanician the cus- tomer concluded that he could get along with a ruler that would be cor- rect to the sixty-fourth of an inch and costing about forty dollars.

Think of the swimming and the canoeing and the woods and the all day hammocks—doesn't it make you homesick?” “How about those financial straits?” the bookkeeper inquired. “Oh, mother’ll advance all I want,” replied she, as she looked absently in- to space. Then she smiled rapturous- “Jimmy call you up?” hazarded the bookkeeper. “They're going to give him a vaca- tion after all. Things have changed.

T R TR RS SO Taft in November. “Many a democrat has been elected in July, only to be buried under an avalanche of votes in November. Mr. Taft’s prospects are now at their low: est ebb. First driven by treachefy and shameful abuse to the extreme of undignified personal defense, then fought with unexampled bitterness in his contest for a deserved renomina- tion, and now confronting not only an open detachment from his own ranks, but also a most resourceful and daring democratic opponent, his record of ac- complishments upon which he must ultimately rely is for the moment eclipsed.
