The breaking out of the yellow fever

great soldiers home at Hampton, Va,
shows the insidious character of this
disease better than any long-winded
treatise could explain it, The filthy
condition of the streets of Cuban cities
made its prevalence there matter to be
expected. Bat the soldiers home has

July 80 was the 290th anniversary of
Champlain's battle with the lroquols on
the western shore of Lake Champlain in
or near Ticonderoga. This event makes
this region older to history than Plym-
outh Rock. The date was six years
after Queen Elizabeth's death, one year
after Millions birth, two years before
the first publication of the authorized
version of the English Bible, seven years
before Shakespeare's death, and eleven
years before the Pilgrim Fathers landed
at Plymouth. Judge Watson. the ac-
complished historian of Essex County.
says that Champaign probably saw the
upper water fall at Ticonderoga as he
pursued the Iroquois warriors south
ward. We hear that Joseph Cook has
suggested scheme for memorial In.
scriptiOns TO Champlain, Montcalm,
Lord Howe and Ethan Allen to be
placed on his historic acre at the far
viewing and famous summit of Mt. De
fiance. lie has also suggested that a
suitable memorial to Lord Howe ought
to be placed on or near the academy
grounds, and perhaps one TO Champlain
on the same spot, which is not far from
the ancient war path carrying place of
the Indians on their trips between the
lakes. This course was taken also by
the old military road used in the French
and Indian war and the Revolution.
Our town ought to remember Nav 10
as its Ethan Allen Day, July as its
Lord Howe Day and July 30 as its
Champlain Day.

PROSPECTS OF THE AMERICAN Horse.


water will therefore be very great.
PROSPECTS OF THE AMERICAN HORSE.
1t is possible that few Vermont
breeders of fine horses have been fright
ened by the continuous clatter in the
metropolitan press and some magazines
about "the horseless age" They over
look the fact that never before was so
much interest shown as at present In
fine horseflesh. Every year shows an
increase in the number and popularity of
horse-shows in the cities, and more and
more space is being devoted in the daily
press to speeding events. New York
city has spent millions 10 the construc-
ton of speedway for the exclusive use
of drivers of fine horses. Other cities
are agitating similar Improvements.
Let it be borne in mind that the only
breeders who will be affected by the add
ed introduction of motors are those who
have been engaged in producing scrub
stock, and Vermont has no fame in that
line. A writer in the current Review of
Reviews has the following TO say on this
subject:
The most foolish thing to do is for
farmer to stop breeding. lie should
probably breed fewer colts, but he
should breed better. That is the whole
secret in a nutshell. Hereafter in its
horses the world will require quality
rather than quantity, and getting quail
ity the world will be willing to pay the
price, just as it is paying today. Today
any horse for which there is a demand
and there is a demand for every horse
of superior excellepce-the price is as
high as it has been at any time in twenty
years. The fine horse for driving and
riding is never going out of fashion, and
Just at this moment in the great marts Of
New York they are in very active de-
mand both for home and for foreign use
And in this matter of improving the
quality there is this important consider
ation-it costs not penny more to
breed, raise and keep a good horse than
poor one. The horse which at five
years old Will command $500 at auction
has not necessarily cost his breeder one
dollar more than that misshapen thing
which is knocked down in derision by
the auctioneer at $40. Quality is what
counts today, and what will count. Let
our farmers achieve that and they will
solve a problem the present working
out of which shows that in seven years
they have lost in wealth something like
$500. 100000. When in this aspect of
the subject look to the future | cannot
fail to be full of hopefulness. The de-
mand for our horses from abroad is
growing steadily. 1t has not reached
large proportions as yet, but there are
foreign buyers at all of our sales, and
the excellence of our carefully bred
horses for cavalry purposes is highly
appreciated by those foreign officers
acquainted with them. Our home mar
ket for really good horses will grow
with our population and our wealth :;
the demand from abroad will increase
with the knowledge that we are breed
ing the best all-round. good-for. any
kind of-thing horses in all the world.

What Shall We Do in the Philippines?

(NIr. Bryan in The independently
There are two sources of government,
force and consent. Monarchles are
founded upon force; republics upon
consent.
The Declaration of independence as
serts that governments derive their Just
powers from the consent of the govern
ed, and this the doctrine to which we
have adhered for more than century.
If the doctrine set forth in the Declar-
alton of Independence is sound, how can
we rightfully purchase sovereignty
from Spanish sovereign whose title is
disputed in Cuba and whose rebellious
subjects we armed in the Philippines?
An individual may live a double life
when only one life is known. When
both lives are known he can only lead
one life, and that the worst. A republic
cannot enter upon a colonial policy. 1t
cannot advocate government by consent
at home and government by force abroad.
The Declaration of independence will
lose its value when we proclaim the
doctrine familiar in Europe. but detest-
able here, that governments are round
in shape. about thirteen inches in diam
eter and fired out of cannon.
1t Is not sufficient to say that the fore
ible annexation of the Philippine Islands
is "a benevolent undertaking entered
upon for the good of the Filpinos.
Lincoln pointed out that this has always
been the argument of kings. To use
his words, "lhey always bestrode the
necks of the people, not that they want
ed to do II, but because the people were
better of for being ridden"
The question is frequently asked
what can we do:
Nearly two months elapsed between
the signing of the treaty and the begin
ming of hostilties in the Philippines.
During that time the president and con-
gress might have given the Filipinos
the same assurance Of independence that
was given to the Cubans. Such assur.
ance would have prevented bloodshed.
If the doctrine of self government is
sound the Filipinos are entitled TO GOV
ern themselves, and the president can
now promise them Independence as soon
as a stable government can be estab-
lished. If the president is not willing TO
take the esponsiblity of enforcing the
doctrine set forth in the Declaration Of
Independence he can call congress to-
gether and let il take the sponsibility.
y special session would less eXpens-
i've than the war, not TO speak of the
principles involved.
We can guard the Filipinos from
molestation while they develop repub-
lie in the Orient. They will he our
friends instead of our enemies. We can
send school teachers to Manila instead of
soldiers,

in which he criticised the attitude of the
United States government toward the
Fiipinos. The postmaster of San Fran
cisho thereupon declared his willingness
to exclude that edition Of the News
Letter from the mails as being treason
able. The postmaster has, it appears.
advanced a step beyond Charles Emory
Smith, tor he proposed to exclude the
publication not merely from the mail to
Manila, but from all mails in the country.
1t is gratifying that the California
paper was not inundated by this under
ling of Smith, who thus displayed his
willingness to turn himself into an agent
of tyranny. In its next issue there APP
peared another communication from Mr..
Valentine, in which he most effectively
grouped series of telling extracts from
the official documents of the govern
ment itself concerning American oper-
atons in the far East. If there is to be
press gag In California as well as at
Manila, the San Francisco postmaster
should now carry out his threat Mr..
Valentine can compile and the News
Letter, doubtless, would gladly print,
any amount of unreasonable matter
from the official documents. If the
letter of Mr.. Valentine, which Post
nudsttT MOuldRue vi lSlHdiiy looh ca
ception to, be reasonable, then all
