VERMONT'S OLDEST EDITOR.
James l. Cook OF Milford Has Been in Har-

James l. Cook OF Milford Has Been in Har-
ness seventy Years.
Seventy years ago Friday, Nov. 0,
James |. Cook, senior editor and proprie-
tor of the Milford Daily Journal, entered
the newspaper business at the age of ID,
becoming an employe OF Cook 81 Taylor,
printers, at Bellows Falls, VT, the senior
partner, B. G.. Cook, being his oldest
brother.
After five years of apprenticeship.
here. he went to keene, y. H.. where he
was employed on the Cheshire County
Republican. The next year, in August,
he went to Troy, n. Y, where he
worked for the Daily Wing, long since
extinct, receiving for night work Jour
neyman's wages, SIS per week. He
remained here until 1911, when he
removed to Bennington, VT, to walk
two miles TO his work and return daily.
The next year. 1872, he and Enoch Davis
published the State Banner at Benning-
ton as Davis x Cook. The next year MIR.
Davis interest was bought. and he,
with a. ). C. Cook, now of Nichols,
Conn, conducted the paper as J. |. c. &

years.
In 1915 Reni. G.. Cook, the elder
brother, acquired the interest of A. ). c.
Cook and the firm, J. |. c. Cook 81 b. G
Cook, conducted the business until 1886,
when the latter died. and soon after the

Banner was sold. In 1850 j. |. C. Cook
bought the paper back, and at this time
his elder son, the late Hon. w. II. Cook,
then only lG, became his partner, and as
sumed part of the editorial duties.
This firm owned and edited the Banner
until 1871 when it was sold, and on Feb.
II. 1872, the firm of Cook & Sons. the
junior partner being the youngest son,
now Postmaster Geo. G. Cook of Mi ford,
bought the Milford Weekly journal.
This is still controlled by the firm, and
will be so long "a either of the partners
live.
On Oct. %, 1888, the Milford Daily
Journal was established and is still con-
Quoted by the same firn,
Fridays anniversary was attended
with no formal celebration or observance
of any kind, because of the recent death
of the elder son, Hon. w. II. Cook, an
ineXpresslble shock to the veteran editor,
his father.
Mr.. Cook was born in Bellows Falls,
VT, Oct. ID, 1872, in the capacious struc-
ture known for years as the "Yellow
tavern" his father being landlord. His
fathers name was Coleman Cook and
his mother was Eunice Green Cook.
His family descended from Aaron Cook
an English immigrant, settling in Dor
chester in 1885, but later removing to
Northampton.
His life has been full of political rem
iniscence. He cast his first vote as a
wing for VIM. II. Seward as governor of
New York, and well remembers Henry
Clay as he spoke in 1910 In the great
Harrison campaign. He has personally
met many of the great men of the nation
in the course of his life, notably Pres.
Lincoln, and has enjoyed the confidence
of all with whom he was well acquainted.
His health, mental and physical, is
especially good, and he still attends to
the duties he has so faithfully cared for
so many years. lie has always voted
either the whig or republican ticket,
voting at 62 state elections and Ii
national elections. He removed to Mil
ford in 1872, just In season to lose his
right to vote in Vermont and not to ac,
.Quire one in Massachusetts, so that hC
could not vote in the Grant-Greeley cam
paign that year.
From 1850 to 1871 he was postmaster
of Bennington, W., and sim retain,
with much pride his commissions bear
ing the signatures of Pres. Lincoln
Pres. johnson aud Pres. Grant. He ha.
two children-George G. Cook, Milford's
postmaster. and Miss Ella j. Cook-hi,
wife having died about II years ago
after As years of singularly happy mar
ried life.

stating that surveying party sent out
under its authority had been unable to
locate them, and since then the
vessels that have been laying out the
route for the cable have searched high
and low for Morrell and Dyer islands
without success. They might have been
made useful as relay stations for the
cable if they could have been found, but
the naval authorities have within the
last few days marked them off the chart
of the Pacific, being satisfied that they
do not exist, and that Capt. Morrell was
guilty of deception in order that his

ADVICE OF THE MISSIONARIES.
1t is a singular fact that the only
bloodthirsty communications received at
the white house and the department of
state on the Chinese question come from
ministers of the gospel, especially from
missionaries. Forgetting the gentler
teachings of Christ, they insist upon the
application of the old Mosaic law in the
punishment of The Chinese-an eye for
an eye and a tooth for a tooth-and the
utter destruction of the cities in which
the wickedness has been committed.
They demand the lives of the emperor
and empress dowager, and All the men,
bers of the court and the wholesale
slaughter of the officials of the govern
ment. Many of them demand that Pellin
shall be burned to the ground and the
site sown with salt. IL is the spirit OF
those who hewed Agag in pieces before
the Lord.
The files of the department of STATE
are being rapidly filled with such COM
munications, and the writers often
threaten the president and the secretary
of state with vengeance If they do not
abandon their pacific policy and join
Germany In the work of murder aud
destruction. The merchant class, whose
communications are almost as numerous
take an opposite view of the situation
and ask for an early settlement of the
difficulty on the most practical terms
The department has received great dea
of interesting and valuable advice from
merchants who have lived in China anC
who understand the character of the
Washington Cor. Chicago Rec

SOME LOST ISLANDS.

The survey of the Pacific ocean for
cable line to the Philippines has made
necessary several corrections in the
charts of the photographic office. 1t
has developed the fact also, to commit
an Irish bull. that the United States has
lost some territory that it never had.
Early In the century whalers and other
shippers who were cruising about the
world were requested to report to the
navy department, as they do to-day, any
important discoveries and observations
made at sea. In pursuance of that re-
quest, a whaler named Capt. MOrreil, of
the schooner Tartar, from New Bedford,
reported In July, 1925, the existence of
two islands about the middle of the
Pacific ocean. in north latitude 20 degrees
and 80 minutes, and east longitude Ia
degrees and 81 minutes. He gave a
detailed description of both these "spOts
of ground" which he said we're about
four miles In diameter, covered with low
brush and abouuding IN sea fowl, green
turtles and setelephants. They were SO
low ms to be nearly level with the water,
and were surrounded by reefs which
made landing difficult Capt. MOrrell
reported that he took possession of this
territory in the name of the United
States and proclaimed the sovereignty OF
Uncle Sam, and at his request they were
charted as Morrell island and ByeI
island IN honor of himself and his first
mate.
In 1910 the gunboat Peacock made q
cruise in the Pacific and reported that il
was unable to locate these islands. A
note to that effect was placed upon tho
chart. In 1898 the Hawaiian government
sent letter to the secretary of the navy

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
FACTS AND OPINIONS GATHERED
FROM CONTEMPORARIES.
HOW WE HAVE GROWN IN A CENTURY.

HOW WE HAVE GROWN IN A CENTURY.
The actual increase OF population IN
the ZEN wears is about l3, 225 600. Inc
rate of increase IN the period from lSSO
to 1890 averaged about p per cent each
year. The rate for the past ten years
has been about 40 per cent annually.
This dimnutlon in the rate Is. IN con-
siderable part. due to the diminished vol
ume of immigration. The lndlvluual
effectiveness of the American population
is so high that, in respect to material
resources and power, it will be conceded
bv every one that the United States is
well in the forefront of the nations. The
structure OF the British empire is such
that, in a comparison of population,
commerce and other statistical data,
there is no more reason for adding
Australia to England than for adding
Mexico to the United States Our pop
ulation at the beginning of the nine
teenth century was, in round figures,
100000 white people, and l.OOO,OOO
negroes, the total being o,3OS,l
Curiously enough, we had almost exactly
the same population at that time as Ire
land. which in 1901 had 5,305, 456. After
gaining very rapidly for four decades,
Ireland since 1915 has declined steadily,
until now it has population of about
45000,000. The comparison OF our
national position at the beginning and
the end of the nineteenth century makes
1t clear enough that, from the standpoint
of the world at large, the progress OF
the United States has been the most
noteworthy feature of the age. when
France assisted us to gain our independ-
ence, her population was at least five or
six times as great as ours. Ours is now
Just twice as great as hers. Ten years
ago our population was about 25,OOO,OUO
more than that of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland; and now
it is about $4,000, 600 more. In 1910, I'M
less normal conditions are much dis
turbed, we shall have population OF
10000 600, while the British Islands Will
have about # 900 600. And we shall
thus have more than twice as many
people as the mother-cOuntry.-
of Reviews.
