Where the Shoe Pinches.
noaton Hpra1d


In his sermon last Sunday, DR.. Park
hurst of New Pork, having Just returned
from a tour in the South, had this to say
on the subject of negro education "Ev-
erything the North does for the negro
only makes the situation more strained
and the southern white man more nell
vous and touchy, unless with every nor
thern dollar laid out for the education
of the poor blacks an answering dollar
is appropriated for the poor whites"
Money sent into the South for aid in pro-
noting education has not all been de
voted to the negroes. Vanderbilt univer-
sity is not a negro college. Berea college
has Hong been open to, and p%atronized
by. both races. The Peabody fund has
been the means of spending 50, SOC, 600
IN aid of education in the South. and both
races have participated in Its advantages.
The colleges which have been established,
most of them, at all events, would offer
their advantages to both races if the
white race would avail of them. But so
bitter has been the race prejudice that
laws have been passed in some states
%forbidding eve the children of white CO.

therefore more needy.
The truth is that the eagerness of the
colored people for education, and the
excellent use they are making of it when
they get it, are creating the newly de-
veloped restiveness of the white race.
1t was nearly, or quite, a year ago that
the Atlanta Constitution, in commenting
on some statistics regarding educated ne
groes, compiled and published by Pres
ident Bumsteed of the Atlanta uni

The colleges wherein the white boys OF
the South are educated are, almost with

"Save the Echoes!''
New York World

@HF '0t'
According to The Worlds dispatches,
there is a new cry among the guides
in the capitol at Washington. Statuary
Hall is to be rooted anew, if the present
proposition prevails. 1t is feared that
the consequences will be the loss of those
mystic repeating voices which have
awed the casual visitor for years. Save
the echoes :" is therefore the appeal of
the guides.
Now this is an appeal that the people
might well take up In a broader sense.
There have been many sentiments ring
Ing in the legislative halls at the capitol
that we should desire to have preserved.
Let us save the echoes
OF Bayard's voice, when he proclaimed {:
The oath | nave taken Is to support the
Constitution of my country's government,
not the fiat of any political organization.
OF Webster'> voice, saying:
| mean to stand upon the Constitution. |
need no other platform.
OF Summers voice declaring that
The true grandeur of a nation l. to be found
only in deeds of justice and the happiness of
its people.
OF the voice of Clay, giving warming
against
\ triumph of the principle OF insubordina
ton, a triumph of the military over the civil
authority, n triumph over the powers of this
house, Il triumph over the Constitution of the
land.
OF these and many other echoes there
should, for the liberties of the people, be
no end while the capitol stands.

LETTER TO JOHN HIGGINS.

MlDDLEBIRI, VT.
Dear Sir One coat of Devoe is better
than two of mixed paint.
The American House, at Tannersville,
(Catskill Mts.), N. Y, Chas. l.. Wiltse,
had two coats of Mixed Paint five years
ago; last spring had two more coats of
the same.
Owner was going to use Devoe, but got
his Mixed Paint a few cents less.
Right across the street, Charles Haner
painted one coat of Devoe at the same
time-last spring.
The Haner house is the better job; but
wait five years.
The point of the story is that Wiltse is
sorry already. He has learned something
that not one man In a thousand knows
that a gallon of one kind of paint can
contain twice as much paint as a gallon
of another kind of paint.
You can't afford to put on another
paint even If you have it given to you.
At the same time, you see, that Mixed
Paint appears to have worn five years
give the devil his due.
Yours truly,

y Note of Warning.

10 THE REGISTER Just a note of
waring, based on the experience of men
in other communities Do the large num-
Der of people who are putting their
money into local telephone lines in this
county ever expect to receive it back
again, or even to receive a fair rate of
Interest on their Investment for more
than a very few years?
Not only are large quantities of poles
and wire being purchased, but in some
instances instruments also are bought
outright. Have the men who have banded
themselves together in local telephone
companies to fight the big trunk lines
ever stopped to think that the phone OF
today is an obsolete old thing next year
that constant change and Improvement is
going on? 1t is bad enough to string
wire and poles Unfortunately, as Is
being done in this county in some cases.
but the purchase outright of expensive
and still unprotected equipment has
caused great loss to companies in nearby
localities, and it must follow here also.
a good way for a holder of stock in
local telephone companies to test the &C.
tual commercial value of the stuff is to
take some of it to a bank, or to some
trained lender of money, and offer it as
collateral for a loan. How much do YOU
think could be borrowed on such cola
teral? Look out. FRIENDLY.

In view of the fact that the supreme
court at Washington has not yet made
known its decision in the Porto Rico case,
considerable significance is being placed
upon the admission to the bar of that
court of Fredrico Degetan of San Juan.
Only citizens of the United State are per-
mitted to practise before the United
States supreme court, and the inference
may easily be drawn that the court con-
siders Porto Rico a part of the United
States under the Constitution.

Among the contracting engineers pres
ent this week was Mr.. Charles n. TAYLOR
of Wellesley, Mass. We understand Mr..
Taylor to have made what is probably
the lowest bid for laying the pipe of our
water works. We made the acquaintance
of Mr.. Taylor in carrying HIM to the
Lathrop Springs. Mr.. Taylor is a native
of Maine, born and brought up on a
farm, but for some years has been a sue
cessful contractor. He appeared exceed
ingly well, and had excellent recon-
hendations from those who had en-
ployed him, and it is quite possible that
the committee after full consideration,
and proper enquiries, will think best to
award to him the contract of laying the
pipe.

summer schools for teachers in each
county of the state-even with state aid
financially is done away with in the
proposed Lake Champlain Chautauqua
Assembly and School of Methods, to be
opened at Queen City Park July 10 and
continue until August 6. The mutual
exchange of ideas and methods between
teachers from widely distant sections of
the state can not but be beneficial to
their work; and In the case of this
summer school of methods it will be
possible to secure lectures and instructors
of more prominence than county schools
are able to do. The proposed school is
fortunately situated for the attendance
of Addison county teachers, and it is to
be hoped that all who can do so will
avail themselves of the opportunity, and
aid in encouraging the permanence of
the institution. Miss l.. NJ. Strain, 3SG
Pearl street, Burlington, is the local
representative of the assembly, and in
quiries for information or for circulars
and pamphlets covering the meeting,
will receive prompt attention from her.
