No Sign of a Public Demonstration

Berlin. Dec. 2. - The semi-of1cial

THRILLING RIDE FOR LIFE.

Two Wilmington Men Were In the Path
ola Freshet Which Carried Hundreds
OF Tons of Ice.
Alexander Pecor returned to North Adj
ans Friday night from his wood camp
above Wilmington where he has about 35
men at work at the present time getting
out heavy lumber. Mr.. Pecor related a
thrilling ride and hairbreadth escape of
two OF his men during the freshet of the
past week. The men are Mitchell King
and Lebor Monette
A short distance above Wilmington is a
flat several miles long, and through this
secllon small stream flows. In the
neighborhood the men had been getting
out the timber, and this fat was practica /.
" covered, high water being waited for to
toaL much of the timber down stream.
But the high water came before it was
wanted. portion of the timber was
forced together into a dam and this held
back an immense amount of water and ice.
King and Monette had a heavy team at
tached to sleigh, and were driving across
the nat some distance below this natural
dam, when 1t broke out and the huge mass
OF lumber and ice bore down on the men
with terrific force, hundreds of tons being
carried toward them. They had a race
ahead of the torrent for half a mile. and
nnally succeeded in reaching high spot.
A portion of their sleigh was struck and
ground to pieces by the logs and ice.

NermOnters in Boston.
Addresses made by Gov. smith and Com
gresham GrOut at the 18th Annual
RHuuuet

About $50 native Vermonters gathered
at Hotel Brunswick, Boston, last Thursday
evening, the occasion of the 18th annual
banquet of the Vermont Association of
Boston. The occasion was officially recoS-
nized by Gov. Smith, who attended with
Mrs. Smith, and also by three members of
the executive staff, Col Frank l.. Greene.
Col. terrand $ Stranahan of St Adams,
and Adjt. General W. II. Gilmore of Fair
lee. a reception preceded the dinner
which was followed by a social hour.
Among the speakers were Gov. Smith
and Congressman Grout. Gov. Smith ex-
pressed his belief that notwithstanding the
incessant drain on the states population by
emigration to other states, the next census
would show an increase in population.
His remarks showed confidence in the fu-
ture Of Vermont.
Gen. Circuit spoke briefly of the history
of Vermont. 1t is full of romance There
Is great opportunity for writers to weave
stories from its historic events Such names
as Ethan Allen, Gen. Stannard and Ad-
miral Dewey in war can hardly be sur
passed Let us not forget, too, that we
have had one native born Nermonter, Ches-
ter A. Arthur, who became president of
the United States.
Gen. Grout paid a high tribute to the
public services of the late Justin S. Morrill,.
for many years prominent figure at the
national capital. The speaker voiced the
sentiments Of all Vermonters in his esti-
mate of the honorable life of the late uestor
of the United States Senate
He urged the justice of Vermont's erect
ing statue to Senator Morrill, and placing
it either in the old representative hall or
some other appropriate place in Washing
ton. Gen. Grout said Senator Morrill, in
troduced the bill providing for the placing
OF two statues in the old representative
hall by each state. Nermont's quota in
that hall is already full, but think if a
statue of him were presented TO the Senate
it would be accepted
Lieut.. Gov. Henry c. Bates suggested in
his letter of regret that Vermont. like
other sister states, take steps for holding an
"old home week this fall. No action was
taken at the meeting on this suggestion.
but 1t is understood that many in Vermont
favor the idea.
The officers elected for this year are.
Hon. Edgar j. Sherman, president; Col.
Josiah ID. Benton, jr., Col. Albert Clarke,
vice presidents; Rev. DR.. VIM H. Davis,
chaplain; n. l.. Sheldon, secretary and
treasurer; Eugene N. Foss, James Nj. Glea-
son, Geo. B. Knapp, Marcel n. Smith, Prof
Davis K. Dewey, Hon. Geo. w. Bisbop

"rhe Man with the Hoe" Conttsi---Dr.
VI. l.. Bruce Of BrhttieboiO Not salts
hed with the Prize Compositions.
Edward Maraham's poem, "The Man
with the Hoe" won its author fame i'm the
literary world. Wide disappointment has
been expressed, however at the sentiment
of the poem, and in view of this citizen
of New York recently had published in the
New York Sun communication Offering
prizes of 500 for the three best poems ex-
pressing the sentiment, 1.-THE Man With
out the Hoe" the first to receive S400, the
second 5000 and the third 500. Nearly
1000 poems were received in competition
for the prizes and the awards were rhs de
by the editor of the Sun and by T. B. AL
drich and f. G. Stedman. As was the case
with the original poem many were dissat-
isicd with the poems which were awarded
the prizes, one who was disappointed being
DR.. NJ. l.. Bruce of Brattleboro. Dr. Bruce
sent to the Sun communication as fol-
lows:
1t must be that in the thousand or so poems

Uef re- any use Is made A. his or her poem.
Dr.. Bruce has already received enough
poems to make a volume, many of them
gems and the authors may feel assured
that they will be considered In good faith.
In conversation upon the subject last night
Dr. Bruce said: "a number OF literary and
professional persons, not contributors to
the prize contest, have written me their
appreciation Of my idea aud expressing
their disappointment in the poems which
were awarded the prizes. One, New
York lawyer land his note is in the same
tone of many received), says Il feel that
the ethics of Mr.. Markham's poem are not
only wrong, but dangerous. Ii furnishes
fuel for the anarchist. The prize poems do
not answer him, and today his poem is
more dangerous than before the contest.
1t seemed to me that some of the 1000
poems offered must have struck the key
note and sung, in language within the com
prehension of laboriug men, the praise of
labor in way that would completely an

MIR. and Mrs. Lyman stone Of Royals
t"u, Mass, Both Natives OF Windham
County. Were Married Feb. 10, 1880.
The 50th wedding anniversary of Mr..
aud Mrs. Lyman stone was celebrated
| Thursday in the town hall at Royalston,
Mass Mr.. Stone was born in Dover in
1925, but at the age of five moved to Fitz-
william, N. II. Since he was II years
old he has run saw mill at Royalston,
where he has served as selectman, assess
or, school committeeman and in other pub
lie offices.
Mrs. Stone was also a native of Yer
mont, having been born in Nottingham,
her maiden name being Marila A. Waste.
At the time of the marriage Mr.. Stone
built dwelling across the street from his
saw MILL and it was there that the newly
welded couple began housekeeping. This
has been their home ever since, and here
have been born to them eight children.
These sons and daughters have Is child
rem and there are two great grandchildren.
The town hall was beautifully decorated,
the upper main hall being in green and
gold, a broad band of green reaching across
the hall from which hung 10 golden bells
on which was inscribed "StOne-Wa
At noon turkey dinner was served, so
which upwards Of 40 persons sat down, all
being members of the family or near rela-
tives.

services w re Permanently Es'"biisH-
ed 1T Fort Drummer by Legislative
Act of Massuchusetts
The Burlington Free Press Of Jan. "a
suggests that, because Of Catholic services
i'm 1866 on Isle la Mott, the statement in
the article on religion at Fort Dummer in
the Congregationalst Of January 49, that
it would be seen by the dates given, of the
establishment of churches round about
that the religious exercises by the chap
lains there "were by many years the earll-
est in the state" was erroneous. Literally
il may have been so; but what Is said
by the Free Press to have been done at
Isle la Mott does not appear certain
enough to be noticed in such an article, al
though 1t is not disputed. The permanent
establishment of religious worship at Fort
Drummer by legislative act of Massachu-
sets for the garrison, and Indians within
reach, was what was contrasted, in date,
with the churches mentioned.
Ii the earliest devotions in the state were
to be sought for those of Mrs. Rowlandson,
wife of the minister at Nashaway, now
Lancaster, Mass, who was brought cap
tive TO King Philip at the bend of the river
in Vernon, March 9, 1876, and, "beng a
very pious woman of great faith, the Lord
wonderfully supported her under this great
alillcton 50 that she appeared aud behaved
herself among them with so much courage
and majestic gravity that none burst Of
fer any violence to her, but on the con-
trary lin their rude IN inner) seemed to
show her great respect" would need to be
noticed. Those of Sergeant Plympton,
who, with about so others were the first
white people to 20 up the Connecticut
river so far and were captive on the
meadow above the lower ferry in Dummer-
ston opposite Catsbane SEVERAL weeks in
the fall of 1917, and who was burnt at the
stake in Chambly for adhering to his faith,
could not be overlooked And the preach
ing by ParsOn Williams to the remnant of
his people captive with him on Sunday,
March ., 1904, at the mouth Of Williams
river, whence its name, in Rockingham,
from Lam. Ills, and the singing Of
hymn, after the sackng of Deerfield,
would have to be referred to. This latter
would seem clearly to have been the first
preaching by Protestant clergyman of
sermon within the state. After all the
earliest stated services would still appear
to have been at Fort Drummer in 1924.

Let the Flag Become Dominant.
From the New York Press

We have seen no better expression by a
public official on the Spooner Philipnine
bill than that uttered by Senator Ross of
Vermont. Let us state, first, what the
Spooner bill prOvides-that 'all military
civil and judicial powers necessary to gov.
ern the said islands shall, until otherwise
provided by Congress, be vested in such
person and persons and shall be exercised
IN such manner as the President of the
United States shall direct for maintaining
and protecting the inhabitants of said is
lands In the free enjoyment of their liberty,
property and religion"
The bill provides, in brief, that the Phil
lpplnes and our Spanish COLONIES" ac-
quired by conquest shall not govern the
citizens OF the United States, but that the
United states government shall govern its
war possessions Senator Ross, an ac-
knowledged authority on the constitution
OF the United States and of many years.
experience as supreme court Justice of
Vermont, declares that. so far as the dis
position of Porto Rico and the Philippines
is concerned with the constitution. "the
nation takes the sovereignty of the islands
under the general duty to use il in such
manner as Congress may Judge will best
subserve the highest interests in their in
habitants and the inhabitants of this ma
tion." He adds: "Let the flag be plant
ed and become dominant on and over
every island and every inhabitant. (He
excludes Cuba.) No other, no better, pol
icy can be proclaimed. Congress should
proclaim this policy by its acts and make
no attempt to do what It has no power to
do-to pledge or limit the acts of future
Congresses"
Which is what the people of this coun-
try want, and all they want congress to do
to let the flag become dominant and the
chief magistrate govern in the islands.
