Mrs. Martha Wadsworth, in her home
on the New York frontier, was coddling
her baby and thinking of her Connect

Pausing in her meditatiOns, she listen

winter sunshine on the floor TO the little
tie Dutch clock on the shelf, saying
aloud, "Whyl only 3 o'clock and the
cows coming home already Jack said
he had put their fodder in the little pas
ture where they would be sheltered from
the wind"
She rose and went TO the window muir

Baby, reused by her exclamation, ut

him to sleep again and then went on
with her knitting, saying, sagely, "Ineed
not worry, if it is anything II won't come

Meanwhile the sunlight slipped quietly
away from the little window, the fire
light grew redder and redder, and the
shadows darkened as the winter twilight
came on. -n.L..rL

the proposition was to locate the military

diture in Vermont of a million dollars
ultimately. AS to the necessity for a
military post on the Vernon frontier:
What is there in the way of national de
lenses along the extended boundary line
between Canada and the States? What
is there along the hundreds. of miles of
that line extending toward the East?
And what is there ON the other side of
that line-at Quebec and MOntr al? The
facts of the existing situation on each
side of the line with the fact of the exis-
tence of international disputes and the
likelihood that other international ques-
tons of grave Importance will arise in
bHC lubuICs ItlltIS IL lHt phII OF DIu-
dence and wisdom for the United States
to extend and strengthen its military
arm as well along its in and frontiers as
along the sea coast or on the high seas.
In matters that are already subjects of
controversy, or that may become sub.
iects of contention. the nations ability
to defend itself or to enfOrc its demands
will be quite rs potent as the inherent
justice of its claim or the force of its
discussions.
The United States believes in peace.
1t believes in arbitration as a means OF
settling international disputes, but the
existence of competent military force
will secure a hearing for its demands
for arbitration, or respect for its claims
in court of arbitration. Through the
Northwestern corner of Vermont enters
one of the great arteries of inland com,
merce, one of the great highways of
travel 1t leads to the heart of Vermont
and there is sound wisdom and wise
foresight III the proposition to establish
a military post in that region. The
interesting lines of railway at Essex
Junction supply important requirements
of such military post. General Scho-
field and Secretary Proctor understand
the strategic advantages Of the locality
and recommend it. We hope Congress
will pass the bill establishing military
post at that place.-IVdtchmdn.

COULDN'T GO ON WITH HIM

Cant you 90 on another train?"
Certainly. That what I'm waiting
for. But it doesn't leave till $3.50 this
afternoon, and won't get to where I'm
going till about midnight, and that wont
do at all.
"If it is anything important cam you

will be over of course, but
"Wedding over? Jumpin' Jupiter

Because it can't come off unless I'm

not so RADICAL, CONSIDERING

A gr at many of the farmers in the
newer States went thither with scarcely
any capital. They took the land from
the government and borrowed money to
pay for improvements. A succession of
poor crops has prevented them, in large
lumber of instances, from doing as well
as they expected. Some have run be-
hind. Naturally they are dissatisfied.
They propose to get even with the money
lenders who are no more to blame for
poor crops than the farmers themselves.
The remedy will aggravate the disease.
Eastern capital, which year or two ago
was seeking investments in the West in
such volume that the interest rate was
falling, is being withdrawn and the
interest rate will go up again to in
crease the burdens for future farmer
borrowers.
In Nebraska the proposition to tax
loans made by persons or companies
from outside the State has the effect of
making Eastern insurance companies
deny all borrowers.
A bill is pending in the Kansas Leg
islature which makes radical changes in
that States mortgage laws. This, is in
effect, stay law, and under its pro.
visions moitgagOr whose interest is un.
paid would have the right to give new
mortgage covering both principal and
interest and so gain an extension OF
time without impairing the obligation il
any other respect; and in return for THU
accommodation for the mortgage is t.
have the right to sell his property with
out going through an expensive anC
tedious lawsuit, but the premises are Il
be still subject to redemption by thu
debtor for two years, and can bel occupie'
and used by him during that time.
The fact that these propositions hav
frightened Eastern capitalists is not a
all or ditable to their courage. Taxation
of mortgages and provisions for the ex
tenion Of time for the payment of debt
are not unheard Of in legislative bodies
II capitalists, instead Of showing fight
would marvel at the character Of tn
Legislation proposed by bodies which reI
resent the mortgaged farms and farmer
of two Western States they would sho'
more discretion.
