Current Press Comment.


Vermonters more than all others in
New England are interested in the out
come and success of the United States in
the East. Veimonters who have taken
hold where Dewey left off are thick.
Prof. Worcester, another Vermonter,
was member of the first Philippine
commission. On the second commission
was Judge Taft, the present civil govern
or, who descended from an old Windham
family, Prot. Worcester and Judge Ide
of St. Johnsbury, who is the author of
the civil code of practice for the Philip
pima courts. Former Lieut.-Gov. Bates
was recently appointed a judge and
assigned to the Ioio circuit. Former
state superintendent of education, Ma
son Stone, was recently made division
superintendent of instruction and assign
ed to the island of Negroes. Several high
school teachers have received appoint
ments and have been assigned to differ
ent parts OF the archipelago. Rev. w. c.
Clapp, Vermonter, has just been ap.

Our Commercial Supremacy.

Ex.Gov. E. c. Smith OF st. Abans has
just returned from a winter spent in
Europe. He is much impressed with the
commercial advancement made by the
United States, as observed from the
European point of view. In speaking of
the change that has been wrought in our
trade relations with the old world Mr..
Smith said:
England thought the growing COM
mercial supremacy of the United States
was like the famous South Sea bubble,
would soon be pricked and would imme-
diately vanish. She has now begun to
realize, however, that we have taken
only the first steps in our progress, and
that we are not to be stopped.
In France and Italy the same realiza,
ton OF our greatness has come to the
people, but England, being the worst
sufferer, appreciates it more. From
everything that have seen and heard
Judge that the commercial interests 0
Great Britain will make the strongcs
possible combination to meet and check
the ravages that we are making in Their
trade. 1t is difficult tor them to thinl
that this country is any more than thu
infant they have long considered it
Now, however, that they are forced to {
different conclusion, they will do thei
best to regain the prestige they hay,
lost. | look for a long and strong
though friendly battle"

American history has been his theme, and
his work along this lineis ofimmense val

The Death of Krag.

Up went the gun that never failed-di-
rected by the eye that never erred. But
the hand that had never trembled taking
twenty human lives, now shook as
though in fear.
Two natures? Yes.
But the hand grew steady. The hunt
er's face was calm and hard. The rifle
rang, and Scotty-hid his head. For the
familiar "crack!" had sounded as it never
did before. He heard a rafting on the
distant stones, then a long-drawn
''snoOt!" But he neither looked nor
moved. Two minutes later all was still,
and be timidly raised his head. Was he
gone or what?
There on the snow lay great, gray
brown form, and at one end, like twin
necked hydra coiling, were the horns, the
wonderful horns, the sculptured record
of the splendid life of a splendid creature,
his fifteen years of life made visible at
once. There were the points, much worn
now, that once had won his Lamb days
fight. There were the years of robust
growth, each long in measure of that
growth; here was that year of sickness !;
there the splinter on the fifth years ring,
which notched his first love6ght. The
points had now come round, and on
them, could we but have seen, were the
lives of many Gray Wolves that had
sought his life. And so the rings read on,
the living record Of lite whose very pre-
ciousness had brought it to sudden end
The golden chain across the web of
white was broken Tor its gold.

The death of Albert L. Johnson, which
occurred in Fort Hamilton, New York,
last week, removed one of the most con-
spicuous figures in the street railway
world. He began his career as street
car driver, and later with his famous
brother, Tom L. Johnson, now mayor of
Cleveland, secured control Of most of the
lines in that city. Then they turned
their attention to Brooklyn and revolu-
tionized the street railway business in
that city and finally sold out to the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company at an
enormous figure. The brothers then
turned their attention to Pennsylvania
and during the past year have come into
control of more than so trolly lines in
that state with the object in view of
connecting Philadelphia and New York
by trolly. Last winter Al Johnson of
fered to reduce street car fares in Phila-
delphia to three cents and to connect
that city with New York and carry pas
sengers between these points for SO
cents if the aldermen of Philadelphia
would allow him to build about 175
miles of road through unoccuped streets
in that city. He failed to receive the
grant, however, and his latest scheme
was the building of tunnel from Brook
Ign to Staten Island. Like his brother
he was close friend of the late Henry
George, a firm believer in the single tax
theory and the public ownership Of
transportation lines. He was a noted
enthusiast and because of this, people
were wont to call him a buffer, but he
generally surprised them by making his

He Painted "The Battle of Cedar
Greek.o


Julian Scott, the artist and one of La
noble county's best known sons, died at
his home in Plaindeld, N. J., July 4. He
was born at Johnson, in 1916, and at
the age Of Is enlisted in Co. f, Sd VT,
as q musician and served with distinc-
ton. At the battle of Lees Mills
he came into notice for his heroism in
earring several wounded Union soldiers
across a creek. For this he received the
first medal for bravery awarded by con-
gress. Later he was attached to the
staff of Gen. W. F. (Baldy) Smith. Dur
ing idle moments in the war he was busy
sketching war scenes which was the be-
ginning Of the work that made him
famous. After the war he entered the
Academy of Design in New York and
afterwards studied in Paris, An exam
pie of his war painting is "The Battle of
Cedar Greek" which was ordered by the
legislature to commemorate the part
Vermont troops played in that battle
and is now one of the chief treasures at
the state house in Montpelier.

MEN, WOnEN AND EVENTS.
A New Naval Hero.

A modest junior grade lieutenant OF the
navy has come into prominence during
the past week as the author of the
famous dispatch to commodore Dewey
at Hong Kong ordering him to capture
or destroy the Spanish feet in the Philip
pines. He is Humes H. Whittlesey, and
at the outbreak OF the Spanish-American
war an aide in the bureau OF navigation.
He asked to be assigned to sea duty, but
because Of his abilities was retained in
Washington in what was regarded as
the most important position held by a
young man in the entire government
service during the war. AS sole custodi-
an of the secret naval cipher he was the
first to see all the important dispatches,
including that sent by Captain Sigsbee,
announcing the destruction of the Maine,
and the message from Admiral Sampson
announcing the victory at Santiago. He
had to wait three years for fame, but
perhaps it is all the better for in the days
when he was doing his important work
all eyes were on Hobson, Victor Blue,
the lamented Worth Bagley and Others
whose achievements were more pictur
esque, and the public would hardly have
noticed the young man, who, while long
ing for active service stuck bravely to his
post and rendered such important though
inconspicuous service as the confidential
clerk of the department.
