ONE THING LACKING.
(From the Brattleboro Reformer.)


The principal speaker at the teachers
convention at Bellows Falls last week
declared that the great end of educa-
ton Is citizens OF character. The best
education In childhood, he said. Is that
which allows the foundation Of good
digestion and the domination of heart
influences. He thinks we are getting
nearer the truth in our systems OF edu-
cation.
Perhaps we are: A good digestion Is
certainly a good foundation for anything,
and heart influences are all right too
But what the business world Is longing
for, and crying desperately for, Is Z lit
tie knowledge of those undressing
things. spelling and arithmetic II some
way could only 10 found. amidst the
beautiful regularity OF our natural
growth education methods. Of inject
Ing little of the knowledge of funda-
mental principles that teschers used to
hammer into our heads with frown and
ferule. our present systems would surely
be well-nigh perfect.

Senator Redheld Proctors "ill-health"
Is getting to lie a standing joke in this
State. Nevertheless some people and
newspapers have worked themselves into
a perspiration under the apprehension
that he was going to resign his position in
the United States senate and that the va
cancy would be filled by the appoint
ment of his son. Fletcher Proctor. The
Senator's health will undoubtedly stay
by him as long as the people of Vermont
see fit to stay by him.

Senator Brownell of Burlington has in
troduced n bill to incorporate the Chit
touden County Traction company. The
company is to construct an electric rail-
road on the highways in the city of Bur
lngton and the towns of South Burling-
ton, Shelburne, Hinesburgh. Charlotte,
Ferrsburgh. Addison and the city Of Yer
gennes The capital stock Of the cor
poration is TO be s40O,00O and divided into
shares of 500. The corporation is limited
to six years to commence the construc-
ton of the railroad and must expend
thereon at least five thousand dollars
within that time. and within ten years
complete and put in operation the whole
system. The bill is very strong one,
well constructed and covers every point
and issue that is liable to arise. To some
people an amendment seems right that is
the time for completion. Instead Of 10
years, would 1t not be better to limit the
time to five years in order that the bust
ness may be rushed right along and not
fall out and become dead Issue This
point Is something for our worthy egisla-
tors in Addison county to decide.

Senator Emcry's bill ito prevent cor
rupt practices in matters relating to cleo
tons" is undoubtedly intended for the
commendable purpose Of limiting the
amount of money which a candidate for
nomination to public office may spend .
and for the further purpose of prevent
ing the sample copy" nuisance. whereby
1t has been alleged that certain publishers
have in times past been Influenced to sup
port candidate who has paid literally
for extra copies of their papers to be
mailed over the State. In the humble
opinion OF the News the bill will not meet
the requirements A candidate who
would attempt to bride a publisher by
buying large editions. conditioned upon
the papers support, would find some
other way to do the same thing. II 1t Is
necessary to enact laws TO make politi-
cal aspirants reasonably honest II seems
to the News that n far better and more
effective way would be to compel all can
didates to publish a sworn statement with
a further statement under oath that they
have made no promises of political pre-
ferment to anyone In the event of their
election.

WORSE THAN SAN JUAN HILL.

1.-The Fraternal Record" tells the fol-
of Lieutenant Edward O'Flaherty. a hero
of San Juan Hill and the Philippine cam
paign, who is a well-knCwn Washington
Pythian: Lieutenant OFlaherty was to
have lectured at the Y. NJ. C. A. in De-
troit Saturday night, for the benefit of
the Free kindergarten Association of the
Industrial Schccl. but could not get there
on time, and the lecture was postponed.
Lieutenant O'Fiaherty was one of the
passengers on the Pere Marquette Ferry,
No. 3, which went ashore near Ludington
early Saturday morning. He has been
through all the dangers of the Philippine
war but it is doubtful if he encountered
anything in that distant land more un-
comfortable and risky than his experience
when he was rudely awakened by the
grounding of the steamer. He managed
to throw on little clothing in the dark
ness, and grasped his lantern and slides,
took his turn in being carried ashore on
the breeches buoy, being drenched on
the way in icy waves. He telegraphed
member of the Y. NJ. C. A. as
follows: Steamer wrecked; slides and
l saved; all other baggage lost. If lecture
tonight, hold audience. Rent dress suit
for me-. In consequence the date was
changed, and Lieutenant O'Flaherty spoke
on Through the Philippines Sunday
night, illustrating the lecture with the 200
stereopticon slides which he doggedly took
with him over the breeches buoy from the
wrecked steamer. ="
