The State has been paying for the

unfit for duty, and the Governor has
been proposing to supersede its COM

the fault of the men-if it is anybody's
fault. 1t seems to be the fault of the
military ring that has been having
carte blanche in affairs pertaining to the
militia. Enlistments have not been re-
stricted by proper medical examine
tions. Men have joined the regiment
as sort of military picnic. For ten
years past, at least, there has been Sc
rious objection both to the manner of
the military administration and its
heavy expense, and events seem to be
showing that objection was well found

principal Spanish ships were put out Of
action. The fire Of the Americans was az

every minute the effect OF their msrksman-

The guns of the shore defenses at Cavite
supported the warships, but the service Of
both was poor and they showed q woful

After the feet had been destroyed Com
modore Dewey directed his sole attention
to Cavite. The Spaniards, inspired by their
hate of the Yankees, made brave defence,
but the American guns were too much for
them and toward evening Cavite capitu-
lated. A small force was landed from the
Petrol to occupy the place and medical as.
sistance was sent to their wounded.
In all, fourteen Spanish ships took part in
the engagement, and after fighting several
hours the entire fleet was at the bottom oil
the bay.
On Monday, the American squadron went
up the bay to Manila. No landing party

An Enemy Of Society.

The verdict in the Mildred Brewster
case was not unexpected. 1t became
clear, in the course of the developments
of the trial, that no jury of men, having
the common feelings or instincts of
humanity, would convict the young wo-
man of murder. The acceptance of the
theory of insanity was apparently a
convenient way of justifying verdict
contrary to the naked facts of the con-
ception and execution of the purpose to
shoot her victim. In the light of these
developments, as man is created, and
particularly as men who are fathers of
daughters or brothers of sisters are
constituted, jurymen would appeal the
case from the sole and frigid jurisdiction
of the brain to at least the concurrent
jurisdiction of the heart. In the pres
ence of the one crucial phase of the tes-
timony no power or skill of prosecution
could have secured verdict of guilty;
no eloquence of defense was needed to
procure acquittal. Whatever the weak
ness, moral or mental, of Mildred Brew
ster, she was terribly wronged wo-
man, but the individual who had done
her an incapable wrong was not the one
on whom she wreaked her frenzied
vengeance. The public must be quite
unanimous in its judgment that Mil
dred Brewster shot the wrong person;
it must be quite OF one mind in its re-
grets-if, indeed, it is true-that there
is no adequate legal punishment for the
brute guilty of gross crime in his rela-
tions with the chief actor in this tragedy,
and who must be considered indirectly
the murderer in the case. If existing
law, in any of its ramifications, cannot
reach the person whose devilishness
set in motion the vengeful fury of Mil
dred Brewster, it is grevious omission
that should be remedied. The WATCH
MAN will not say that woman seduced
and betrayed, and placed under the ban
Of society, should have carte blanche
to shoot the villain who is the author of
her ruin, but case like the one but
recently before Washington county
court would 60 far to reconcile one to
this summary manner of punishment,

State of one of the most heinous Of
fences man can commit against wo-
man and society in general.

The Victory at Manila.

The official report Of the naval en-
gagement in Manila bay detracts moth
ing from either its Importance and
completeness, or the glory and brilli-
ancy of the achievement. Indeed, the
satisfactoriness of the victory, from
the American point of consideration,
is most gratefully enhanced by the
marvellous circumstance that in secur-
ing it not an American sailor was kill
ed and only few were slightly wound
ed, and by the further fact that the
vessels of the American squadron
emerged from the firery tempest unin-
jured.
The eye of religious faith will see
the hand of Providence in the immun-
ity from death and manning of the
champions of cause more holy than
any in whose defense people i'm
patient of wrong ever before took up
arms.
The naval expert will discover in the
destruction of the Spanish feet and
the demolition of Spain's batteries
without loss to the assailants, a new
demonstration of the truth of the Ma
poleonic epigram that in war "Provi-
dence is on the side of the heaviest
battalions."
Providence was in the foresight that
took an accurate measure of the OBJ
stacles to be surmounted and in the
fore-knowledge of the deeps and shall.
lows of Manila bay; in the intrepidity
that sailed the ships into the flaws of
DEATH" in the weight and number and
aim Of the guns, in the swiftness of
the blows that smote the enemy.
Heaven helps those who help them
selves, and heaven had every reason
to be on the side of that lone Ameri-
can squadron in the far East, many
thousand miles over the sea from the
nearest home port, with no refuge from
disaster, with only their own stout
hearts between themselves and utter
humiliation.
Americans reverently recognize the
hand of Providence in the triumph in
Manila bay, and accept the happy
issue of the strife as an augury that
their cause shall speedily and gloriously
prevail.

New Era for United States.

second-class European State and will
feel acutely that, as matters stand, they
would have been defeated by first.
class one. They could not have fought
France, to say nothing of Great Britain,
without suffering grave defeats at sea
and enormous losses on land. That is
not the position which suits American
temper, and Washington will set itself
to construct first-class iron feet. That
once built, the desire for position in
the world equal to their position among
nations will compel them to abandon
the idea of non-intervention, and
change the Monroe doctrine into a d.
rect and effective protectorate of the
two Americas. We hope the Ameri-
cans will keep the Philippine Islands,
and that they can keep them there is no
doubt whatever. Europe, to put the
truth in its most brutal form, cannot
attack them without our permission"

Governor of Vermont, but who will be
selected for the second place on the
ticket is by no means 80 certain, The
Republicans of this section of the State

The Militia.

Surprise is expressed that go large
a number of the members of the Ma
tional Guard have failed to pass the
medical examinations that precede &C.
ceptance for military service. Some
fifty per cent. have been rejected by the
examiners as falling below the standard
in one particular or another. The re-
jections are not confined to the rank
and file. Many officers, also, have been
found to be physically disqualified.
Thus the National Guard of Vermont
has been reduced to some 300 electives,
and its ranks must be filed by new re-
cruits.
This small body is what the State has
to slow in the way of a military force,
for an annual expenditure of from
$4,000 to 1926, 900, or more, aggregating
half million dollars, more or less, in

COMMODORE DEWEY cut the cable.
There is something about this act, and
the real reason assumed for it, that
nightly pleases the American people,
and of itself commends the Yankee
sailor to popular appreciation. They
wouldn't object to the cutting of the
cable between Washington and the At
lantic squadron and the military forces
at Tampa. If the naval and military
chiefs were intrusted with the work and
responsibility of clearing out the Span
iards in the West, it is believed that
they would complete the job as speed
lily and effectively as Dewey has done
it in the East. When Lincoln called
Grant to Washington and turned over
to him the task of closing up the Con-
federacy, calling on the nation when
he wanted men and material, the Army
of the Potomac began to win victories
and the Confederacy to totter to its
fall. The Americans have unlimited
confidence in their naval and military
commanders and the forces under them.
They are suspicious of strategy boards
and other means of long distance con-
troll from Washington.

The opponents in the Senate of the
annexation of Hawaii having made it
practically certain that the annexation
treaty would fail to receive the neces-
sary two-thirds if pushed to vote in
the Senate, the machinery for securing
annexation by joint resolution has been
put in motion, and the house committee
on foreign relations will this week fav-
orably report the same, and, if the OPP
portunity occurs, will at once push il
through the House. President McKin-
ley would be justified in taking pos
session of Hawaii as a war measure,
even if the present government of
Hawaii had not formally rendered the
islands to the United States, and he
may yet do 30, but he much prefers
that annexation should come through
congressional action.

THE island of Luzon, on which is the
city of Manila, the scene of Commodore
Dewey's great naval victory, is larger
than the states of New York and Mas
sachusetts. The entire area of the
Philippine islands is ten per cent.
greater than that of the New England
states, New York, New Jersey, Mary
land, and Delaware combined. Many
persons who consider themselves well
informed upon commercial affairs have
been greatly surprised to learn that the
United States has more trade with the
Philippine islands than all the rest of
the world combined. What the United
States will do with these valuable
islands is a question that is already be-
ing much discussed in Washington.
This government will hold them until
the war is over, and then decide what
disposition shall be made of them.

In graceful lines and expressive
phrasing an interesting contributor has
recited in the WATCHMAM an Indian
legend respecting the origin of trailing
arbutus. 1t was not 30 "many moons
ago" when this first and most attractive
of New England spring flowers was
found in profusion in nearly every
piece of piney woods in this region, but
in many localities it has become extinct,
or is rapidly disappearing from the vi
cinage of communities of any consid-
cradle size. The reason may be found
partly in the cutting away of the woods,
but chiefly in the vandalism of the
gatherers of the flower who, in pluck
ing it, uproot the trailing vine. The
''forest aisles" down which the maiden
of the legend fed, and which ever
since have been made interesting by
the modest beauty and sweetness Of
tho descendants of the flowers she
"hid mid wildwood glooms," have
lost, or are losing, their spring charm.
In punishment for these depredations

magic wand" refuses to repeople the
