WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. The conference called by Gov. Prouty In Montpeller recently shows that It Is time for tho people of Vermont to wake up and to right a wrong which affects every household to a greater or less ex tent. As a result of this conference the governor was empowered to appoint a committee of live, to draft a bill to be pre sented to the next legislature, establish ing a system of weights and measures, with suitable provisions for inspection and the enforcement of the law. The government Investigation of the subject which was started about a year ago has been carried out In 26 states and In SO cities and it shows a laxity in nearly nil of the states which is surprising. In Vermont the places visited were Burling ton, Rutland, Barre, Montpeller and St. Jolmsbury. The government agent found that 40 per cent of the scales used In these cities were- Inaccurate and that 88 per cent of these recorded short weights. Ho also found that vegetables and rults Hold In bulk were generally measured In correctly. It Is a very unenviable dis tinction to be told that Vermont Is the greatest violator of short weights In but ter of any stnte In the Union, and that In every group of 5000 people there Is a loss of J1000 per year if nil their butter is bought in prints. Gov. Prouty said In the llarusslon that the question of weights and measures was closely related to the high cost of living, which Is one of the most serious problems which confronts the people today. Some Interesting testi mony was also brought out relative to the prices which people pay for foodstuffs, especially cereals and meats, which are put up In attractive packages and sold for three times ns much aB the prices charged for the same commodities sold In tho raw state. One unfortunate feature of tho situation which was revealed by tho conference Is that Vermont Is being made the dumping ground for short weight shipments which are shut out of New York, Rhode Island and Massa chusetts by the rigid Inspection which Is enforced In those states. Gov. Prouty's commission will have an opportunity to do the state a great ser vice by preparing a law with teeth, which shall not only fix the system of weights and measures, but provide for Inspections and the enforcement of the law. At the present tlmt mnny dealers are selling goods short In weight without in tending to defraud. Tho right kind of a law would correct this abuse nnd stop deliberate petty frauds which amount to a large figure In the aggregate. The pure food law was an Important step In advance, and a fixed standard of weights nnd measures, with proper In spection, should be closely allied with It. Both measures are In accordance with, the trend of tho times toward a square deal for all. President Emeritus Charles W. Eliot of Harvard university thinks drinking Is "In expedient" for the reason that "the man who makes moderate use of alcohol on Monday connot do ns well on Tuesday on account of tho alcohol which he took on Monday." That the uce of alcohol in any form shortens a man's life nnd reduces his capacity for good -work is generally conceded, and the practice Is steadily growing among the railroads nnd other wnployers of labor to draw tho dead lino against men who indulge In liquor. Tile hope of the temperance cause In tho future must rely fully as much upon the advantages of conservation and efficiency as upon ethical nnd; moral grounds. Vllllam E. Chandler, former United States senator from New Hampshire, who has always been a pugnacious individual, is now attacking the railroad Interests In the politics ot his stato. In a recent pub He statement he rejoices that New Hamp shire 'lias measurably freed herself from the domination of her politics, her legis lature her executive, officers and her Judges by the Tallroad power In Boston." "But," 'ho adds. "It remains for her to show that she will not pass- Into the own ershlp of the railroad power In New York." TO this end ho urges the nomlna Hon and election of Robert B. Bass of Peterboro for governor", assuring the voters of the Granite state that Mr. Bass has never taken any railroad passes from Mr. Tuttle and "will not take the money or passes of Mr. Mellen." While Vermont Is wrestling with the problem of several gubernatorial candidates events are so shaping themselves In New Hampshire that Mr. Bass.Js likely to have a clear field for the nomination. Prof, Goldwln Smith, 86, one of tho most distinguished educators and pub licists of modern times died Tuesday, Juno 7, In his homo In Toronto, Ont. He had been falling since February when he sustained a fractured thigh by falling on a floor In his home. He was a natlvo of Reading, England, and was educated at Eaton and Oxford. He filled professor ships In Oxford and in Cornell university and for the last 40 years had made his homo In Toronto. He spoke fearlessly for tho Union cause In the Civil war al though tho British Liberals sided with the South. For many years ho advocated tho annexation of Canada to the United states.- A BOYS' SCHOOL. The action of the trustees of Vermont nendemy In deciding to make that Institu tion a boys' school exclusively beginning with tho fall term this year Js being gen erally commended. In this connection at tention Is called to a recent article by Prof. J. E. Armstrong of tho Englcwood high school, Chicago, on "The advantages of limited sex segregation In the high school." This" paper was read before the Central Association of Science and Math ematics In tho University of Chicago. It is an able and exhaustlvo treatment, based on careful Investigation. The con clusion Prof. Armstrong reaches Is as fol lows: I "I fully believe I am Justified In the con clusion that the segregation of the sexes during tho first and second year of high school holds more boys In school, greatly Improves their scholarship, and removes from them the feeling of unfair compari sons due to differences in degree of ma turity of children of the samo age but opposite fox'; and that tho possibility of adapting the work to the needs of each sex will mako It easy to train each sex for a higher degree of efficiency." The Youth's Companion recently dis cussed thoughtfully tho subject of co education or segregation, In which It rec ognized the difference In the natural trend of tho minds of the two sexes. A part of its statement Is given herewith: "Recent nctlon In two eastern colleges In abandoning coeducation revives tho question whether the subjects studied In collego and the method of teaching them should bo the same for boys and girls. Coeducation seems to work better In tho West than In the East, a fact which may bo explained by tho comparative youth of the western Institutions. Difficulties may Increase as time goes on. "Meanwhile there should bo no bitter ness In the discussion on the part of either sex. It Is not that either Is ad judged better or worse than the other, but that Is different. A schoolmaster ,of fjfty years' experience summed up his view thus: "What makes a man a man never makes a woman a woman." "Education Is fundamentally discipline. The hour In the classroom Is to tho well equipped teacher a brief nnd precious time for drill. Must It be every day practically divided In half that two classes may bo taught? In history, for example, the boy cares chiefly for wars and consti tutional development; the girl, for the progress of civilization and the arts. Each type of mind must be trained by the teacher to a complete mastery of tho sub ject. "In composition tho girl has a natural fluency and fancy, and must learn order and conciseness. The boy Is naturally logical and accurato at the expense of ease and Imagination. A class conducted In tho Interest of both Is really two classes. 'It Is probably true that there are many courses of study where coeducation works waste of time and power, nnd where the teacher who studies his students as well as his text books Justifies the segregation of men and women. "In the great state universities tho dif ficulty is not, and is not likely to be, se rious, since there Is ample room for choice of courses for both men and women. It Is In the smaller colleges that the move ment against coeducation Is most prom! nent. THE NEXT ISSUE. President Taft, Jn an address In Jack son, Mich., recently alluded In a casual way to the subject of socialism, recog- nlzlng the trend toward some sort of "collectivism," which Involves a concep tion of society and government contrary to that on which our political Institutions are based. The last Republican national platform discussed this Issue academ ically, but little attention was paid to the subject by the rjnk and file of, the party. In this connection the St. Albans Messenger offers some pertinent comment which Is entitled to thoilghtful consider atlon: That there is now an unmistakable realignment of political parties under way In this country Is plain enough to most studious observers of current nf fairs. That the tendency Is toward a readjustment of forces that will leave us In much the same situation as tho countries of the Old World, with con servative progressists on tho ono side lined up ngalnst radicals and .extremists on tne otner, is very proDaDie. Tho problem before the Republican party today is so to adjust its principles nnd machinery that the men of Ideas and ambition that are willing to venture as far ahead as common sense aid experi ence will approve are not driven into the camp of th6 opposition in order to be able to make any move nt all. The Republican party need not fear tho radl cal socialistic element opposed to it so much as the Bourbon, stand-pat, do nothing element within Its own ranks. Where Do Candidates for the Legislature Stand. Barton Monitor.! Tho Monitor ventures tho statement that not one candidate for- town rep resentatlve In 100 In Vermont today Is appealing to the voters of his town for their support on the strength or ms belief In some principle of government. Individual candidates may believe. In this thing or that thing1, and go to the Weglslature with an avowed purpose to support, aid and vote for certain meas ures, but If the man exists In Vermont today who Is making his canvass on the strength of his creed for better govern ment, the Monitor hasyot to hear of him. v It Is a peculiar thing that as a rule candidates for any kind of legislative office In this state are not called upon to declare themselves in the slightest de gree, while there Is a growing tendency to demand exacting declarations from executive officials. Tho reverse should, It seems to tho Monitor, bo the case, and Judging from recent elections in Mas sachusetts and New York, where candi dates for legislative "Offices have Btrong ly declared their belief on public ques tions, a new political era Is at hand. Even In Vermont today the Monitor believes that the candidate for town representa tive who would publicly declare a staunch stand on some half dozen serious ques tions sure to come bofore our legislature another fall would reap a harvest of votes from tho thinking suffrage popula tion of his town the like of which he had not dreamed. The body of Mrs. Porter Charlton of New York, formerly Mary Crlttendon Scott of San Francisco, was found tied in a trunK on tne oottom of Lako como, In Italy, a few days ago. Mrs. Charlton -was about 40 years old. She was on a wedding Journey abroad with, her hus band, but little more than 20 years old who -was formerly a bank clerk In New York. Young Mr. Charlton has disap peared and his relatives In this country rear tnat no was also murdered. A post' mortem examination showed that the woman died from suffocation. TWO NEW INDUSTRIES One is Assured and the Other Wants to Come Here Sites Inspected Yesterday Cement Fac tory May Be Built Board of Trade Will Entertain County Merchants. Two now Industries for Brattleboro' aro In sight. It Is practically certain that within the next 10 days negotiations will be concluded whereby one of them will movo to the vacant Williams factory on Williams street. The other concern wants to move here, nnd It will do so If Brat tleboro people subscribe to an Issue of stock, which Is about to bo made. A meeting of the board of trade waa hold In Festival hall last night to consider tho two propositions. In regard to the first 6no President Cowles announced that a sub stantial stock subscription had been made, but that yesterday a Brattleboro man who has had experience In the same line of business, and who had become convinced of tho soundness of the proposition, had made an offer to invest his own money to an amount equal to tho present assets of the company if It would locate here, for which reason no further effort was being made to secure stock subscriptions. It is practically certain that the firm will come without the necessity of members of the board of trade buying the stock. For various reasons It would be unwise to state Just nt this time what tho business Is or where It Is now located. The other company Is engaged In a wood working business and Is employing about 40 hands. It Is one of the very few Arms In New England engaged In that particular line of manufacture. It3 pres ent factory Is well equipped, but the build ing, which was erected for other purposes. is not suited to the work and Is remote from the firm's centre .of trade. Tho senior member of the firm was present last night and stated that most of his customers were within a radius of 150 miles of Brattleboro and that with a fac tory here three or four days would bo gained In the time It now takes for the goods to reach their destination. The proposition of the company Is to issue additional preferred stock to the amount of 50,000, bearing seven per cent Inter est, to be subscribed for locally, the stock to De guaranteed both as to assets and as to dividends. The company would build, a cement factory two stories high, 60 feet wide and 120 feet long and It would cm ploy ultimately 100 or more hands. If the proposition goes through two members--of the board of directors will be Brattle boro men, provided the board numbers five members, nnd three members will be Brattleboro men If the board numbers seven. Tho business is growing rapidly, tne volume of trade last year exceeding that of the previous year b 250 per cent. With 100 hands employed It Is estimated that a business of $250,000 a year wouldf be done. The representative who was here ves- terday Investigated two sites upon which the board of trade holds options. They are tho Prescott jnlll site and the old tannery site, both of which are suitable and are located on Williams street. Tho company now uses water power to some extent and has an auxiliary steam power. If the business Is established here doubt less electric power will be used largely. The proposition was looked upon so fa vorably that It was voted to employ an expert accountant to go over the com pany's books, the representative signifying his willingness to have the books Inspect ed. It was voted also to have the board of trade Invite the merchants of the sur rounding towns. Including the West river valley, to come to Brattleboro at some convenient date to be entertained at din ner and by boat rides on the river and au tomobile rides as guests of the board. The details were left to tho house and en tertainment committee. Marcus D. Greene, 60, superintendent and treasurer of the National Car com pany, died recently in St. Albans from heart trouble. He leaves a wife and four children. He was prominent in the Na tional Guard years ago, retiring with the rank of lieutenant colonel. AUCTION!
