AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

State Superintendent of Schools Pal
mer, in an exhaustive communication tc
the Burlington Free Press, gives some
very sensible and timely suggestions as
to the appliance of the direct tax. he
is in favor of some method which will
result in raising the school standard in
the state as well as tighten so far as pos
sible the burden borne by tax payers
He would have the money invested IN
separate securities and the income used
in special work, either for normal
schools, skilled supervision, or the fur
nishing to towns of libraries as aids to
the schools.
Mr.. Palmer further reviews the ques-
tionable manipulation by the state of the
Huntington fund, and is firm in the be
lief that that fund, so far from advane-
ing the states school system in useful
ness, has simply and solely stood as an
aid to tax payers. He is evidently anX-
ious that this award to Vermont shall in
its outlay signify a perpetuity of ad-
vantage to the school system Of Yer
mont, and in this feeling he will be
heartily endorsed by all having the
states best interests in view.
1t is to be hoped that this new opinion
on subject which has already been dis
cussed in a general way by the state
press will call out more particularly de-
fined views on the subject, and in such
discussion school authorities should bear
prominent part. None can know bet
ter the needs and weaknesses of Vermont

HANNIBAL HAMlIN,

The first Republican president of
the United States died at Bangor, Me-,
Saturday night in the person of Hanni-
bal Hamlin. Death came suddenly, find
ing him in the pastime of an evening at
his club. Mr.. Hamlin was nearly 81,
being born at Paris, Me, August 27,
1909. For nearly half century he has
been prominent in national affairs, and
the cluster of honors gained in the wide
ly varying periods of public sentiment
prove the character of the man without
any word of eluogy. He was a Demo-
cratic representative to congress in 1873
AZ; a senator in 1S4S-6l elected as Re-
publican, governor of Maine in 1857,
which office he resigned upon his re-
election to the senate; chosen vice-presi-
dent with Lincoln during his first term,
for short time in 1865 collector of the
port of Boston; again reelected to the
senate In 1869, and reelected in 1875, he
closed his public career as minister to
Spain, 1SS1-S3.
Great was his opportunity IN life, MOI
alone by reason of these enumerated
honors, or the great faith in him of
which they are significant, but that he
lived in those unsettled days when the
policy of a great nation was being
shaped, and when every public move
ment was portentious; that he numbered
as his colleagues Webster, Douglas, CAL
houn, Seward, Chase, Sumner, Fessen-
den, and host of the brightest names in
the galaxy of American history that he
was blessed in the closest relations with
Lincoln, and that, passing with his coun-
try through her trial, seeing the dregs of
national discord sink into the cup of
oblivion, he was permitted to be identi-
fed with later generation of brilliant
minds, of whom Blaine, Conkling, Ed
munds, Bayard, and others were repre-
sentative.
Rarely, indeed, is it vouchsafed to
man to hold so long a prominent part
in life's drama, perhaps not less rare
that man so well holds so prominent a
part OF strong convictions and bold
purpose, he seems to have made no slip
from his high standard of honesty and
patriotism, and he leaves behind a name
honored and respected of all men. That
young man will do well, to-day, who
studies the life and work of Hannibal
Hamlin.

We suppose there can be no shadow of
doubt among thinking Vermonters that
the presence of Secretary Proctor in the
cabinet was an important factor in the
settlement of that direct tax matter. To us
it seems not of such tremendous impor-
tance whether Proctor represents the
state in the cabinet or the senate; he will
be favorably heard from in either case.
What seems of greater moment is to have
another Vermonter in Washington who
is as practical and active as our present
secretary of war.
New Hampshire agriculturists are en-
couraged at the general outlook for crops
this season. 1t is much better than was
sometime ago. Reports from
40 sections of the state indicate that this
seasons hay crop will be from one-fourth
to one-third smaller than the average,
with the quality much improved over last
year. The labor question continues a
very discouraging factor. For some
years laborers have continued to grow
scarcer and wages higher, and in the
present season this condition prevails in
a still more marked degree
