PEACE WILL PREVAIL,

That is, so far as France and Siam
are concerned, for the latter country
has fully yielded to the demands of
the former-because she could not
help herself. The Frenchman will
now raise his blockade ofthe Siamese
coast and proceed to help himself to
Siamese territory. Just how large a
haul he will make is as yet uncertain,
notwithstanding the concessions OF
the native government, for England
and China are somewhat interested,
and may insist on his going slow in
the appropriation of territory.
War between France and Siam
could have resulted in but one thing,
the practical annihilation of the
weaker government-unless, indeed,
her cause had been espoused
by England. Siam realized her peril
and succumbed at the threats of her
stronger foe.
An interesting feature of the diff
Guilty between these two nations is
set forth in what the Boston Herald
claims as a piece of information ex-
elusive to itself-namely, the narrow
escape from war between England
and France. The former nation, it
is stated, refused to recognize the
blockade instituted by France, and
informed the French minister that il
British commerce on the Siamese
coast was at all interfered with it
would be construed as a deliberate
attack upon the British flag. Eng
land thereupon began preparations
tor war, when France backed down
completely, and raised the blockade,
so tar as it concerned the rights OF
England. The Herald's exclusive
also hints that this covering of tn,
French government at the roar o
the British lion will make the popu
lace wild, since they are anxious 70

THE DYNAMO FAILED.

The horrible botch made of the re-
cent electrocution OF murderer at
Auburn prison, N. Y, would seem to
prove that electricity is somewhat
tickle and may fail its users at any
moment. Moving with lightning ra-
pidity when the conditions are right,
it does mans bidding most complete
", but the least imperfection in the
conditions brings such results as that
at Auburn-failure at a critical point.
Said a gentleman who for many
years has had directly to do with
electrical appliances: "There never
was so unreliab BILE thing as electrici-
ty. One moment it works like a
charm, and the next you can do
nothing at all with it," Man has
yet much to learn about controlling
that mysterious force, and the incl
dent at Auburn, heralded the coun-
try over, will doubtless draw the at
tention of electricians to the need Of
more perfect machinery for the gen
Grafton and transmission of that
power which, held in check and under
wise direction, can be ofso great SER
vice to the world. Much as has been
accomplished in this regard thus far,
there is yet ample room for improve
ment in the way of practical and re-
liable means for controlling electri-
city.

PROMINENT PERSONALS.

Hon. Alden Speare of Newton,
Mass, a brother of Mrs. E. F. Brown
Of st. Johnsbury and we'll known in
this town, has given $1,000 to the
town of Chelsea, his native place, to
erect public library there.
The late Anthony J. Drexel ofPhil-
adelphia left fortune ofabout $685.
100000. In addition to his large
gifts to public institutions and chart
ties, he gave all the servants in his
household $1,000 each, and the clerks
in his banking house will receive $500
for each year they have been in his
service.
DR.. Ralph Bugbee, who recently
died in Littleton, was son of DR..
Ralph Bugbee, ST., of Waterford,
where he was born on Dec. 20, 1921.
He began the study of medicine with
his father and received his degree
from the medical college at Castleton,
in 1916. He practiced medicine in
his native town nine years. afterward
at Franconia, N. H., three years and
then removed to Littleton. He was
a member of the White Mountain,
Caledonia and Vermont State Medi-
cal societies.
The American Board have recon-
sidered their decision in the matter
of the appointment of Rev. William
H. Noyes to the Japan mission and
he has not been appointed as an
nounced in these columns last week.
Mrs. Mary Howe LAWN and Will
liam LAWN are again in Brattleboro,
after spending the past winter in
Florence, where they were studying
under the celebrated Vannuiccni, who
is considered one of the greatest
teachers of the day, and his pupils
are naturally very warm in their
praise of him and his work. Mr..
and Mrs. LAWN have accepted an en-
gagement from one of the foremost
agents in Milan to sing four operas,
making their joint appearance in
Lucia" after which they are to
sing in Faust, "Rigolett" and Ira
viata.' On the completion of this
engagement they are to sing in Ger
many asguests at the opera in Frank
fort, Hamburg and later in Berlin,
where Mary Howe won her first
great success. Their present plans
are made so as to return to this
country next spring and give series
of concerts lasting about three
months. Many engagements have
been offered them for this fall in this
country, but they will accept none
However, it is possible that, in re-
spouse to a very general wish formal
ly expressed by Brattleboro musical
circles they may sing there, If they
do so, the concert will take place
early in September, as they will sail
on the steamship Werra for Genoa,
September 9.

ANOTHER WORLDS FAIR.

1T is really quite probable that
San Francisco will have a Worlds
Fair of its own this coming winter.
Several leading business men of that
city have conceived the idea of hold
ing fair in that region of warm
weather and flowers, and it is pro-
posed to open the exhibition as soon
as possible after the close of that at
Chicago in November. Already large
sums have been contributed for nee
essary buildings, and it is estimat.
ed that $S35,00 would be enough
to erect these and pay running ex-
penses for four months.
1t would be worth great deal to
the state OF California to secure such
an adjournment of the fair from
Chicago to San Francisco, and thi.
additional chance at advertising
would prove profitable for the more
extensive exhibitors, many of whom
have expressed willingness to tax,
their wares to the far West.

gion promise that this winter ven

WHEN CONGRESS MEETS.

When congress meets next week
something will happen but what
The New York Herald says that
Congress has only to act with Wis
dom to assure bright future. "
This is certainly true enough, and
everybody hopes that congress will
act wisely and the bright future
make itself apparent. Indications
now point very strongly to the re-
peal of the Sherman law-at least
that clause of it which provides for
the purchase OF slver-but beyond
that nothing is certain as to what
congress will do financially.
One representative asserts that
when the money question is settled
the tariff will be taken up and a COM
pletelv new schedule made out. We
doubt this, for so radical a change
just at present would work serious
results with our industries.
The first business of congress
should be to relieve-and that as
speedily as possible-the financial
stringency which prevails through
out the country. By this we mean,
take such action as will enhance pub
lie confidence, for the moment this
is done, that moment will the fnan-
cial skies begin to brighten.
Murat Halstead calls for the doing
away of full bimetallism and the
adoption OF a gold standard. A
multitude of suggestions have been
made for the benefit of congress,
and it only remains now for wise,
discreet leadership to be developed
in the national halls Of legislation,
and the business interests Of the
country to be sustained and strength
ened, without regard to politics.

THE KEEP COOL" PLAN.

That the above-named plan will
work bene6cially in the present mon
etary stringency and allay great
deal OF unnecessary anxiety is pretty
generally conceded by those who
have looked the situation squarely
in the face. We notice that Henry
w. Cannon, a national bank presi-
dent ofNew York city, has something
sensible to say along this line. While
deploring the much-mixed condition
Of things-as every business man
does-Mr. Cannon says:
I'm times like these, people are apt to
lose sight ofthe important features of
the situation in the contemplation
of the details. The country is all
right. Our crops are good this year.
The cropsin other parts of the world
are.poor. Europe wants some Of
all our crops, even hay, and Europe
must take them and send us money
for them. We shall receive good
deal of money from Europe this fall.
Meantime people have no need to be
scared. Let them keep their heads
cool and exercise a little patience.
1t will pay them best in the long
run"

The populist governor of Kansas
must have seen great light within
a few weeks, or else it makes con-
siderable difference with him whether
he is handling political racket or a
common social or business dis
turbance. This is what he said to
the sheriff in connection with the
mining riots at Weirs City: Gun
der no circumstances can the
state authorize or permit violence.
Strikers must not trespass nor
assault United States deputy mar
shals, nor destroy property" He
did not talk in just that strain
when he and his party were besieg-
ing the state house last winter.

Senator Proctor, who when Sec
rotary Of war did some excellent
work with Indian military COM
panies, has thus commented, in an
interview, on Secretary Lamont's
recent dealing with such companies
II don't understand that Secretary
Lamont disbanded any full COM
panies. 1t was those with ranks
partly filled that he disbanded.
There are two reasons for this &C
ton. The first is that the men who
were expected to fill these companies
did not meet the requirements. The
second is that there was a limit
placed on the number of companies
that could be filled. l don't think
the policy inaugurated during the
time was secretary has been
changed"
