New York's six-day bicycle "race" Is ended, but we fail to see wherein there is a great benefit from it. The woman who "put down" cheap eggs last spring is now much "set up" over her thoughtfulness. . Righto, too! It is to be doubted whether the Root boom for president gets at the ground work of the Republican party's trouble. The University of Washington wants an efficient man for president. Stand up, Colonel Goethals they all know you're there! With two dictators in Mexico, Huerta and Villa, things look rather black for that disturbed republic, especially since other dictators are likely to spring up like mushrooms in any section of the country. Evidence multiplies that Mex ico won't settle down till it gets a man in control who has the courage to be a real dictator, combined with a fair de gree of honesty of purpose, regardless of how he assumes the control. A great many cities and towns of the United States feel about as the Con cord (X. H.) Monitor expresses it in the following: "Concord and Xew Hamp shire contributed to the wealth of a mail order millionaire recently deceased; but we get no legacy tax upon his es tate any more than we did a direct tax upon his holdings in life." Therefore, arises the question whether it wouldn't be better in the long run to trade with home merchants. , New Haven railroad wouldn't be so much in the doldrums at the present time if some of its wrecked trains had been equipped with passenger cars of steel conBtruction, inasmuch as it is certain that wrecks with numerous fatalities weaken public confidence in a road to a marked degree. The reported new policy of the Xew Haven system, which pro poses to secure safety first and other things afterwards will only be fully car ried out when the company equips it trains with steel passenger coaches, an event which it is hoped may be consum mated in due season despite the fact that the financial condition of the great system is at a rather low ebb. The Xew Haven is the great transportation sys tem of Xew England at the present time, and tov it most people of the sec tion have to resort to get about from place to place. They will feel .far bet ter toward the lino when their safety m made more possible through this mod ern equipment, to which President Smith of the Xew York Central owes consider able, both as to hla'own escape from in jury and that of his fellow-passengers, last Friday night.

J., who sent a public invitation to 30 "lonely" and self-supporting girls living in Xew York hall bedrooms to at tend a Thanksgiving dinner at her home and as her guests met with a lack of response that was nothing short of a decided rebuff for her good intentions. She got only two responses to her invi tation and before Thanksgiving day came around on the calendar even those two changed their minds. Aversion to being thought dependent on charity doubtless caused the invitation to be all but ignored; and perhaps it was just as well that the effort failed, although the failure must have been a decided shock and disappointment to the woman who wished to gladden the lives of some actually in need of cheer and who did not know how to go about it. Had there been a grand rush of acceptances, it- would have denoted a reckless desire to "sponge" on an absolute stranger that would have been nauseating. A 'more personal and direct invitation through the managers of some of the large stores and offices in the metropolis might have brought better success to the Montclair woman. A LITTLE LESS IX SAFETY. President Smith of the Xew York Cen tral lines had it forced upon him right at the outset of his regime that steel cars are the safest vehicles in which to place passengers, for had it not been for a steel car President Smith himself might have been injured when his train was derailed near Cleveland last Friday night. But as it was, all the passenger coaches of the train were of steel con struction and although the fireman of the train was killed the passengers es caped injury. President Smith's experi ence must be convincing to him and al most as much so to other railroad presi dents, whose roads have not adopted the safest vehicle for all their trains. The J A Vermont Cross State Railroad. Governor Fletcher's pronouncement at Rutland last week in favor of a cross state railroad, with a suggestion of state ownership or state interest there in, is a practical matter of great import ance to Vermont. Xo single enterprise has more promise to every resident of the state than this. To break through the mountain barrier and bring the east and west sides of Vermont into quick and easy touch would work wonders in the state's development. As to finan cing it, any practical plan is worthy of consideration. Perhaps the one entail ing the least responsibility upon the state would be to guarantee a certain low fixed dividend on the investment for a known period, provide for official rep resentation of the state on the directo rate and let private capital huild and operate the road. Once established, such a connecting link ought to pay. It would be an immense public benefit that the state can well afford to back. Ran dolph Herald and Xews. TALK OFTHE TOWN Roval flannelette robes at Knight's. Beautiful line of neckwear at Ab bott's. Commencing this afternoon the Barre & Montpelier Traction company will place an electric car at the disposal ot the' granite cutters employed in the south end, but who reside in other sec tions of the city. The car will leave the South Main street terminal at 4:25, allowing ample time for the cutters to reach the terminal when work is not r.W1 until 4:15. OwilllT to the change in working hours of the granite plants instituted this month, workmen employed in the south end shops have been discommoded by the electric road's transportation facilities. When complet ing work at 4:15 they were obliged to foot it home or pass a tedious half hour at the terminal. After a conference be tween the granite cutters' officials and the Tenney officials this extra service . -a ftnnt.'d Th par will continue to leave the South Main street terminal throughout the months of December, January and February. The ear will only be run as far north as Berlin street. TALK OF THE TOWN Warner's Rust Troof corsets at Knight's. High grade shoe repairing at the Til den Shoe Co.'a shop. Mrs. A. O.
