"Old Home Week is only about
a month off, yet as far as Lamoille
County is concerned, with the single
exception of Stowe, there will be no
town observance of the event.
Stowe has organized and is making
every effort to make the affair a sue
cess. All honor to Stowe for its
enterprise in this direction as well as
in other affairs. Stowe is live
town, and no mistake.

Wenote with pleasure that a Cali
fornia Grand Jury has done its duty
by finding bill for murder against
three men who were foremost in
working up lynching which re-
suited in the death of man and his
three sons. Usually the officers of
the law look the other way when
these outrages occur and they are
passed by with only a days COM
ment. A few hangings of those
guilty of thus taking the lawn their
own hands would have a wholesome
effect and we hope that California
will set an example in the case men-
toned which other states, especially
those south of Mason and Dixon's
line, will follow.

1t is said that Arthur P. German
of Maryland is going to seek return
to his old seat in the United States
Senate. Republicans have no usefor
German, but if a Democrat is to be
chosen from that state to succeed
Wellington, elected as Republican,
but supporting Bryan last year,
German is far more preferable to a
more rabid partisan. Yes, German
is preferable to Wellington.

Immense 1hrong Viewed the Royal Pro-
cession as It Passed Through the
Streets to the Groote Kerk.

The Hague, Feb. THE city today
bears fits most festal appearance. Vast
crowds were in the streets early and
trains poured in thousands from all parts
OF the country.
The route of the royal procession to the
Groote Kerk, where the marriage of
Queen welheimina and Duke Henry was
10 take place, was decorated with large
baskets or green plants, lightened by
orange blossoms and white roses, tied
in large white knots.
The weather. though fne, was intense
ly cold. The stands. the windows and
the roofs along the line of the route TO
the Groote Kerk were througed with
people.
When the wedding party reached the
Kerke the court chaplain. DIR. Van Der
Viier, standing before the bride and
bridegroom. delivered an address. His
text was a passage from the Fourth
Psalm. Lord, lift Thou mp the light OF
Thy countenance upon us"

pastor wherein the entire people has it's
share of delight. The prayer contained
