"HoId on to- the Scenery.

Winston Churchill, in his Old Home
Week address at Concord, N. H., de.
clared that many people are coming
back to New Hampshire to settle, not
as Summer people" in the ordinary
sense of the word, but precisely as
their fathers went out so years ago to
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas to set
tle." Many of them, he says, are the
pick of the citizens of the Western
communities from which they hail. 1t
would be very interesting to know
just how far facts will bear out Mr..
Churchill's statement. We shall be
glad to know that they will warrant
this rosey-hued view of the situation.
Without entering into an argument
with Mr.. Churchill as to whether or
not New Hampshire possesses more
varied attractions than any other New
England state" his advice to hold on
to the scenery with both hands" is
applicable to all of the states and to
no one of them more so than Vermont.
1t is true that there are plenty of for
ests in the fat countries which can be
chopped down to make matches and
newspapers, but it is short-sighted pol
icy to destroy the New England for
ests for this purpose. They are in
finitely more valuable to look at.
Regarding organized effort in this
direction in New Hampshire, Mr.
Churchill adds:
zone of the wisest moves that was
ever made in this state was the or
ganization of the Society for the Pro-
lection of New Hampshire Forests.
And the next wisest move was getting
everybody interested in this for the
small sum of % cents. For unless
every citizen of this state can be
brought to realize the value of these
forests apart from the actual wood
they contain the society could accom-
plish nothing. 1t will not do to pass
laws debating to man that he shall
not cut down or sell the woods that he
owns. Laws become effective only
when the large majority of citizens
unite in their enforcement. Laws
must come from that body of citizens
rather than from the minority which
forces them upon the general body,
and so we must get every citizen of
the state into that society"
Neither organizations nor the state
can prevent large quantities of timber
being cut in the most beautiful dis
tricts, but organizations and the state
can see that this timber is cut in the
proper way. Herein is a suggestion
for Vermonters as well as for our
brothers of the Granite state. If we
are to continue to draw the multitude
from outside New England by adver-
tising our varied attractions" we
must, as Mr.. Churchill suggests,
hold on to" attractions with both
hands.

The horse, tied to a fence nearby, haG
evidently been there since Friday night,
when Noyes disappeared from a dance
at the hotel in ShutesbuTy. Noyes had a
good reputation except that he was In

protracted spree previous to his disap-
pearance.
Mrs. Frank Saltmarsh, 46, was killed

NJ. c. d. Borden the millionaire cot
ton manufacturer of Fall River is not
in sympathy with the threatened cut
of Is per cent in the wages of employees
by the Textile Manufacturers associa-
tion, which controls Al mills. He says
the proposed reduction is intended to
force the operatives to strike, so that
the employers may have a chance to
close their mills until they can dispose
of their surplus stock. Mr.. Borden's
statement has stirred the manufacur-
ers to such an extent that in place of
a reduction in wages they may agree
to shut down their mills for a time,
until the surplus stock is worked off,
In a similar case in 1897 Mr.. Borden
prevented the closing of the mills by
buying 10000 pieces of cotton goods,
and holding them until Improvement
came in the market.

A wonderful demonstration of the
possibilities of the wireless system of
telegrapy was made Friday when COM
munication was established between
the Cunard line steamship Lucania 72
miles out to sea from Nantucket and
2S0 miles from New York. The des-
patches with the Lucania were eX-
changed through the wireless tele-
graphy signal station on the Nantucket
Shoals light ship and the station at
Siasconsett, the summer resort at the
south end of the island. Long before
land was sighted the passengers on
the Lucania were informed of the
news of important events that had oc-
Cured during their passage. The
messages via Nantucket gave informa-
tion of the Lucania in New York IS
hours earlier than could be sent from
the Fire Island signal station. That
the reach of the wireless system is
bound to increase is evident from
the successful dispatch of messages
across the Irish sea from Crookhaven
to Poldhu, the former in Ireland, the
latter in Cornwall, England, distance
of 223 miles. Messages have likewise
been sent across considerable land
distances and from France to England,
and Corsica to France.

The Boston Post sees in Vice Presi-
dent Roosevelt's proposed appearance
at the Vermont Fish and Game league
meeting the launching of a president
ial boom for the Rough Rider under
the auspices of Senator Proctor. The
Post says: "To Senator Proctor, more
than to any other one man, we owe
the war with Spain. His speech in
the Senate did the business, and to
this Roosevelt is indebted for the
chance to achieve military renown as
a Rough Rider. Senator Proctor is
the right man to give him another
boost up the heights of fame. 1t is not
forgotten-and this may be taken as
another omen-that Senator Proctor
was the one who, as a delegate to the
convention of 1896, led the detection
of New England from Reed and made
possible the nomination of Mckinley"
Events of 1896 are remembered diff
ferently in Vermont and in a Boston
Democratic newspaper Office. Senator
Proctor did not lead the detection
from Reed to Mckinley. The defec-
tion led him. And as the ancient
minstrel would say, Senator Proctor,
in his pilgrimage to the st. Louis con
vention, like the man who led the
camel, went out with the tied.

Vermont's Worlds Fair in 1909.
IFrom the Barre Times.]

The st. Adams Messenger suggests
that Vermont have an expositid
it's own in 1909. July 4, 1909, Samuel
de Champlain discovered the great
lake that bears his name, and the year
of the 30Oth anniversary will be a
fitting time for some sort of celebration
of the event Historically Champlain
is the most famous lake in the new
world. Decisive battles of no less
than six wars have been fought on its
shores and on its bosom. Scenically
1t has few equals and no superiors
while as a cold clear business asset
Champlain is the pride of Vermont
BY all means should the anniversary
of it's discovery be fittingly observed

The MARTYRS, from LyndonviIIe.

Local pride is good thing, but in an
aggravated form symptoms of foolish
ness develop. This is the kind of a
case from which the Lyndonville
Journal is suffering. Last week it
suppressed entirely mention of the
liveliest and most picturesque happen
ing in its field, the fake sprinting race,
whereby the Lyndonville sports were
fieeced from $1,000 to $4,000. This week
the Journal attempts to pour oil on the
headed "a Word for Our Martyrs" :"
The Journal asserts that The Phoenix
and the Newport Express and Stand
ard 'imbued their ink with malicious
coloring" last week in discussing the
fake, and then adds:
Our young men have never considered
themselves any more clever than those
of other places, but we do claim that
the citizens of Lyndonville are Just as
shrewd those to be found anywhere
and that our village is no more likely
to be defrauded than any other. Swim
dies in some form (the gold brick and the
'shoe factory" for instance) have been
worked in other towns Lightning strikes
some places in preference to Others and
it is so with the bunco men, therefore,
it is not necessarily a credit to the people
of those towns that the swindlers passed
If they lost no money. If Brattleboro
and Newport escaped the swindlers it
is proper, of course, for them to con-
gratulate themselves, but they should
thank Providence that they were spared
this temptation to part with their gold
u. IL l..
the unfortunate, since it may simply be
another instance of fools for luck"
1t was not because a certain cotorie
of young men of sporting proclivities
in Lyndonville considered themselves
ijust as shrewd as those to be found
anywhere" that they were separated
from their dollars. 1t was because
they considered themselves shrewder.
The workers of a gray-whiskered
swindle realized this when they began
to cultivate the field. What the
Journal fails to recognize is the man.
ner in which the swindle is worked.
The promoters of the fake sprinting
match, with one of their number act
ing with the dupes, lead the latter on
TO suppose that they are playing a
"sure thing" against the other fellows,
and the dupes finally awaken from
their enchanted dream to find their
dolly stuffed with sawdust 1t is be-
cause the victims put themselves in
the same class with the workers of the
game that they are not entitled to SYM
pathy. Their reward is simply con-
tempt, and when a newspaper pokes
fun at such fools it is not imbuing it's
ink with malicious coloring."

A Successful Vermont institution.

The Vermont State Mutual Fire In
surance company of Montpelier is a
home institution of great benefit to
Vermonters and one in which they
have just reason for pride. 1t is a
pleasure to note that its 74th annual
report shows that its statistics for last
year stand for the largest increase of
insurance in force, the largest premium
note capital, and the largest growth
in cash surplus in any year of its eX-
istence. The amount of insurance in
force has increased from $54,19S,3
to $5G,66S,1G7. It's premium note capi-
tai has grown from $4,2S0,641 to
s4516,5OS. The treasury balance,
which a year ago was $97624.21, is
now $126, ,5O2.75, a gain of $2S,S7S.54 in
the year.
The Montpelier Watchman, to which
The Phoenix is indebted for the infor-
nation here given, says: This
amount has accumulated on an annual
assessment of four per cent, furnish
ing protection to property at a very
low comparative cost, with the. assur-
ance of a continued uniform rate of
assessment. This treasury surplus,
which is designed to be an 'evener'
in the matter of assessments, also en-
ables the company to discount every
loss or other claim at sight, without
borrowing a dollar"

The Addison county w. c. T. U. has
adopted a resolution pledging it's mem
bers not to patronize certain news
papers of the state that favor license
liquor law. This proposed boycott is
foolish, and will inure to the detri-
ment rather than to the benefit of the
temperance cause. People who be-
lieve in prohibition ought to be suffl-
ciently tolerant to recognize the fact
that a person or a newspaper can ad-
vocate a change in the present law
without wishing to give the state more
rum.

The claim that Commissioner Evans
has not been liberal in his interpreta-
tion of the pension laws does not
seem we'll founded. During Presl-
dent McKinley's first term the yearly
average payment for pensions was
$14O,000,137. This amount was larger
than that paid under any previous ad-
ministration and only $5,000,000 less
than the entire sum disbursed in the
four years when Hayes was president.

Another famine is impending in

the same as that of the great famine
of 1891, when the attention of the

strenuous measures for relief were
made in this country. The natives in
Panay in the Philippines are in a des-

When the Tin Horn Sports Came
Home.
[From the Newport Express and Stan
dard.l
When the Lyndonville crowd wend-
ed their way homeward the joyusness
of a few hours ago had given place to
an apparent sense of vague unrest.
The absolute confidence in their
"cinch" had dwindled into the frag-
ment of hope that the board" might
decide in their favor, and their golden
trumphets hung idly at their sides.
When they reached their native heath,
the trumphets were unslung and raised
to the lips for a merry note, when be-
hold the erstwhile horns of FURNISHED
gold had been transformed into tin.

MANILA, Feb. 3.-Fewer than four
hundred persons attended the meeting

Rizal Theater in the Tondo ward of Ma

tested in the proceedings. and there were
some expressions of approval of the ad-

to commit the meeting to Professionalism,
that aspect of the case being left for SUBJ
sequent action, at his discretion, to Rev
James B. Rogers, a missionary of the
Presbyterian board, who was present.
Senor Buencamino explained that relig-
ious effort was wholly outside the Fed
eral party, which had been organized sole
ly to promote political peace. The first
mild applause occurred when he compared
priests to white ants which eat the SUBJ
stance and leave nothing of value" Senior
Buencamino argued in favor of supplant-

agreement as very remote proba

There is no prospect of a meeting for the
joint conference for several days, as the
scale committee does not convene until
