Both honor and self-interest concur
to call virtue and Intelligence to head
the battle against aggressive and un-
scrupulous wealth. Not that we be-

every crisis in the fortunes of man

Toryism to risk life, fortune and sacred

1t is behind these generous examples

virtue and intelligence should be tho
first TO discover. expose and oppose
them. not merely for themselves. or for
the people. but for right and truth and
liberty. Virtue and intelligence owe no
fealty elsewhere. and least OF all should
they bow to wealth ili-gotten and ILL
employed. to empoversh the people. de-
stroy human freedom. and be;ray the

WAS FORAKER FAESEa

Senator Davis. chairman OF the
treaty committee, in his violent opposi-
ton to the passage of either the re-
solution of Senator Hoar. or that OF
Senator Bacon. as q condition precedent
to the ratification of the treaty, raises
just suspicion that Forakers pacific
and liberal promises in behalf of Phil
ippine independence are not to be
trusted. Ifmeapt good faith, WHY
not have them embodied in a Senate
resolution. to establish confidence and
avert war? Is it puerile to urge, as
Senator Lodge has done, that to de-
mand such resolution is to express
lack of confidence in the President and
in Congress; and when Senator Davis
says that he will withdraw the treaty.
or not submit it to the vote of the
Senate If such a resolution be adopted,
not only the Philippines, but the Amer
lean people. may we'll doubt the good
faith OF Foraker's Establishments.
The Senate should discharge Davis
and his committee from further SER
vice. and take the treaty into it's own
Misunderstanding to ratify it until n re-
solution OF reinsurance 10 the people
and the Philippines be passed. This
course may deliver us from war and

Narrow Escape.

William E. Bushey Of 175 North Union
street had narrow escape ircm death al
the Burlington Woollen mills at Winooki
He wa, running piece OF machinery thai
is known to the employees as steam gig,
when his hands were caught between the
rolls of the gig. He called three times for
hep bat no one b. ard his cries. His arms
were drawn into the machine and slowly
his head was being pulled up to the rollers,
which were large enough to have taken in
his entire body and to have crushed it to a
pulp. As his head was entering the ma
chinery, M. Blu, hey threw himself iorwar d
and broke the seam OF the roll Of cloth that
was passing thr ough the gig.
This save d his life. Inc act was an ex-
hioiion OF rare presence OF mind. HIS
right arm wa. broken in four places be-
tween the elbow and the shoulder, and his
ears and neck were also burned and cut.
Bushey boarded trolley Car and rode to
bis home without assistance. He is nervy
fellow and he evidently has more grit than
is u'ually allotted to the ordinary mortal
He told the story Of the accident in a care
less, laughing way: "When | ielt my
head beng drawn into the gig babe good
bye to the world and thought / was goner,
sure, but thought l might as we'll go
through the thing with as little fuss as pos

OF all the enterprising, wide awake vii

continually forging to the front. AS a

hundreds of people making the trip from
this point to the mountain each recurring
summer.
The trout fishing in this section has been
source of attraction to many sportsme n

miles from Mt. Mansfield. The pond will
occupy 200 acres and i, surrounded on
three sides by mountains 1900 feet high
and will be ted by cold springs, tie tenn
perature being 40 degrees Fahr. A dam
800 feet long and 100 feet wide will be
built at the foot of the pond and boule-

circumference. The scenery is incompar
able and the pond will be easy of access,
being but so m nutes' drive from Stowe or
five miles from the electric line. j. W.
