Vermont at Tufts.

Vermont was honorably represented
in the exercises at the recent COM
mencement at Tufts college. In the
seniors last chapel the orator was
Frank Leslie Hayford Of Montpelier,
whose subject was "The House Beauti-
full" His plea was for a standard of
national life and achievement that
shall be ''noble and beautiful, that may
place its print upon our lives and mould
our achievements to truer greatness. 1t
was thoughtful and forcibly written
address.
The literary exercises closed with
the reading of what the reports de-
scribe as ga beautiful and impressive
class day poem" by Frank Howe Ben
edict of Williamstowu. The tree or
ator was Kingsbury Foster of Derby
Line, who made an amusing speech
with "Boy and some of its character
istics" for the subject of his discourse.
The class prophet was Arthur M. Bout
ellie of Townshend. The closing cere-
monies of the chapel were thus re-
ported:
After this Leslie D. Pierce of Cam.
bridge, the marshall, handed down the
seniors old shoes to the sophomores,
who received the gift with a loud
cheer. Mr.. Pierce then presented
each of the classes a farewell gift from
the seniors, to remind them OF times
that have been. To the juniors he
gave large Goldfish for the nou rish-
ment of their brains, and a package of
Mellin's Food to build up their bodies.
The sophomores received large apple
pie with figures dancing over It, bear
ing the inscription, go have a ban
quet." This was reminder of how
the freshman scored on the sophs by
holding banquet unknown to their
rivals. The sophs have never held one.
To the freshmen was given toy horse
bearing the 1904 flag, with the remark
that only by using horses could they
ever hope to reach graduation.
Four of the leading class honors by
Vermont boys was "honor enough
for one day."

in position to help along efforts look
ing towards constitutional amend
ment providing therefor. The Senator
says: 81 appreciate the difficulty of
securing an amendment to the Consti-
tuition, but when you remember that
no less than thirty-6ve States have ex-
pressed their approval, am encour-
aged to believe that even an amend
ment to the Constitution is not beyond
the range of possibility" He will
also propose constitutional amend
ment to prevent any State being
deprived OF part Of its representa-
ton in the Senate, by providing that
whenever a Legislature fails to elect a
Senator, the Governor of the State
shall order an election by the people to
fill the vacancy. OF his plan the Sena
tor says: "In framing the Constitution
the fathers arranged that if there
should be vacancy in the House of
Representatives an election should be
held for a member. They also pro-
vided that il the electoral college failed
to elect President, that duty should
devolve upon the House of Repre-
sentatives. 1t did not apparently &C.
cur to them that a Legislature might
fail to elect Senator, and so they did
not provide for that contingency. My
plan simply remedies that oversight"
II is not at all clear that constitu-
tional majority of the States is ready,
or will be ready in the immediate fu-
ture, or ought ever to be ready, to or
der theSselection of Senators by q gen.
eral election. The ways Of nominating
conventions and the practices in gen.
eral elections do not promise an i'm
provement, either in the morality OF a
senatorial contest or in the quality of
the men chosen for the office of Sem
ator.
Choice by general election might
prevent the vacancies that exist under
the legislative system. But this has
not been an evil that has threatened
disaster to the nation, even remotely.
Possibly, quite the contrary. If it is a
hardship or an injury to State to be
unrepresented, or partially represent
ed, in the United States Senate, that
State is the creator of the hardship, the
author of the injury, and can prevent
or avert either by return to the ways
of virtue, reason or common sense.
The chances would seem to be that
for the merely nominal or sentimental
evil OF rare case or two of partial nom
representation in the Senate-for which
the State itself is at fault-the graver
evils of general election, both in re-
spect OF morality and Of the quality of
the men chosen to the senatorial office,
would be exchanged. The change in
the way of electing Senators and the
abolition of the electoral college may
come about contemporaneously.

HOW TO WIN.
No Speculation or Chance, but Com
mon Sense Methods.

One OF the most manifest object lessons
in the way to win success is to be found In
the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers
goth Century Colossus. II they are great IL
is because they are great advertisers. They
are owned by the four greatest showmen
in the world, Messrs. j. A. Bailey, W. w.
Cole, Lewis Sells and Peter Sells, and no
one would attempt to dispute the fact that
they are hard'headed. sure, calculating
business men, and are not wasteful, ex-
travsgant or improvident. One needs but
to look In these columns, upon the walls
and fences OF this city, TO see the DOM
nant element OF their success. 1t Is
advertising. Any merchant who thinks he
can do busin ss by spreading his goods up.
on his counters and limiting his advertising
to his show window, ought to walk around
this city and look at the advertising done by
these shows. Then he ought to calculate
the percentage OF money invested In the
shows and In advertising. Then he ought
TO apply the same principle to the conduct
OF his own business. To bring the matter
merchants in this city2 There can be but
one answer-the heaviest advertisers. 1t
seems strange that men engaged in business
can be blind to their own best interest in a
matter like this. 1t Is a certain thing that
the thousands who visit the Adam Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers Goth Century Col
eossus would not do so II they had not first
been told through their advertising repeated
ly of that which their money will buy for
them when they go to see them. Reputa-
ton, age, established custom, will never
suffice. The creation OF a desire for pos
session OF anything is simply an expression
which can be condensed into one word
advertising. II the coming OF these great
shows to this city does no more than inn
press this fact upon the minds of everyone
who has anything to sell, whether 1t be the
product OF his brains, or his hands, or the
product Of The brains aud hands of others,
IL will have served a most beneficial pur.
pose

The battleship Oregon entered the
Golden Gate at San Francisco. on the
afternoon of June II, and was well
coined with booming cannon and Shrek
ing whistles. All along the waterfront
great enthusiasm was manifested and
the Stars and Stripes doated all over
the city in honor of the homecoming of
the "bulldog Of the navy" back for the
first time since she left for the Spanish
war. She left Yokohama on May 10,
reaching Honolulu May 80. After leav-
ing the islands on June A, headwinds
and heavy seas were encountered
which washed the ship continually.
Nevertheless, the Oregon averaged 14t
knots an hour.

One often reads in newspaper reports
or publications Of Rear Admiral Philip,
Rear Admiral Higginson, Rear Ad-
miral Evans, names of men who were
captains in command of battleships at
the blockade of Santiago, in the sum-
mer of 1898, some of whom were in the
battle and one was forty miles ava,
but all have become rear admirals since
that action. Does any one ever read
OF Rear Admiral Clark, or see his name
in connection with any function, off,
cial or otherwise? Why is it that the
man who, with the Oregon, did the
most to render the battle of Santiago
the completest and most brilliant naval
victory in the world, who is admittedly
the real hero of that marvellous fight,
whose place in the naval history of the
war with Spain, at the lowest, is only
second in rank, is still Captain Clarke
These are burning questions, and ques-
tions that burn, all over the land. The
course of the government in this mat
ter is disgraceful beyond proper char
acterization. Apparently the COM
mander of the Oregon has got to wait
till every other captain in the navy has
been made rear admiral. He will be
q Methuselah then.
