UNWILLING.

Washington, May %. President
Roosevelt ON Wednesday unveiled the
memorial shaft erected at Arlington
by the National Society of Colonial
Danes, in memory of the veterans
who fell in the recent struggle be-
tween Spain and the United States.
Around the platform an immense
crowd gathered, among whom were
many men who saw service in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
AS the shaft was unveiled the artil-
lery fired the national salute after
which President Roosevelt delivered
the following address; Mrs. Presi-
dent, and Members of the Society and
you my comrades, and finally officers
and men of the regular army whom
we took as our models in the war four
years ago; 1t is pleasure to be here
this afternoon TO accept in the name
of the nation the monument put up by
your society to the memory of those
who fell in the war with Spain,
short war, a war that called for the
exertion of only the merest fraction
of the giant strength of this nation
but war, the effects of which will
be felt through the centuries to come
becauses of the changes it wrought.
1t is eminently appropriate that the
monument should be unveiled today,
the day succeeding that on which the
free republic of Cuba took its place
among the nations of the world as a
sequel to. what was done by those men
who fell and their comrades in '9S.
1--WE went to war for specific pur-
pose. We made for Cuba a specific
pledge, and we redeemed that pledge
to the letter And l think, my com
rades of the war, that we have pc
culiar reasons to be proud of one of
our fellows who served with us in
that war, and under whose admins
tration during the last few years Cuba
has taken those strides forward which
have fitted it to stand alone-I speak
of General Leonard Wood, and great
though the services were that General
Wood rendered during the war they
have been surpassed by the ines
Unable service he has rendered in
peace to Cuba, and therefore to our
nation, for our interest was bound up
in the success and welfare of Cuba

PROCTOR TRYING TO TRADE.

The Mountain has come TO Ma.

at that.
E. r. Morse of Proctor, written
nowadays EMorse-manage of the
campaign of Fletcher d. Proctor in the
hunt for the governorship on pro-
hibition platform-himself license
man--was in town Thursday in con-
ference with g. A. Smith, the ac-
knowledged leader here of the Glenn
ent license-local -option contingent
The conference was private one but
the popularity of the situation, to
wit, the manager of the avowed 81
mon pure prohibition candidate for
Governor whose chief supporters
were the free rum papers of the State
coming all the way from Proctor to
confer with the leader of the victori-
Gus license and local option delegation
to the coming State convention was
suggestive of most desperate straits.
When REMorse" had departed, a
Journal reporter interviewed Captain
Smith as to the object of the visit of
Proctor's manager Mr. Smith was
non committal but finally said there
could be only one reason for the visit.
The reporter suggested that that rea-
oDh NOulu NATURALLY Dt W Stt IL Uile
Clement delegation in this city could
not be pledged to support Proctor for
second choice.
To this query, Mr. Smith replied,
of course that's it. "
Asked how the local Clement dele
cation would act upon that PROPOSE
ton, Mr., Smith said he did not have
the remotest idea that the delegation
would favor supporting prohibition
candidate under any circumstances
He said further that he told RE-
Morse that he had done business
with the Vermont Marble Company
for the past twenty-five years and has
had the most friendly regard for Mr..
Proctor, but that if Proctor were his
own brother he would not use his in
t1uence or his vote to support that
brother if he were running for the
governorship on a prohibition plat
form
This incident ought to be an eye
opener to the prohibitionists, who
stay away from the caucus and allow
the license men to defeatEMcCullough
men just because they have deluded
themselves with the belief that Proc
tor stands in this campaign among
the three candidates as the only ex-
ponent of prohibition.

THE NEW REPUBLIC.

Cuba has taken her place among the
republics of the world The promise
of the great republic that four years
ago with fleets and armies went to
her relief has been fulfilled. May 20,
after a period of tutelage and prepare
ton for the responsibilities of self
government, Cuba is a republic in a
better, juster, and stronger sense than
the most infatuated of her sons who
have fought and suffered and died for
Cuba Libre had ever dreamed.
The magnanimity of the powerful
neighbor who took up the cause of
the down trodden, inhumanly treat
ed Cubans, released them from CEN
turtles of Spanish tyranny and
mis-g government, spending without
thought of recompense millions on
millions of treasure, and devoting to
death and wounds and disease in an
unaccustomed climate thousands of
her children in the sacred cause of
humanity and freedom, has not par
allel in history. The nearest ap-
proach is the example of the French
who espoused the cause of the Ameri-
can revolutionists in their war for in
dependence. We needn't look behind
the course of France for motive; the
assistance rendered was effective !;
without it the war for independence
might have been prolonged for many
years-it might have failed of its pur-
pose. In any event, the American col
onists won their freedom from Great
Britain, and Cuba was released from
the cruel despotism of Spain - and
Providence ordered the event.
The American Revolution had its
Washington, steadfast in his warfare
for the liberty of his countrymen !;
Cuba had its Gomez grimly holding
together his tattered half starved,
half armed legions of the inland re-
cesses of the island, descending on
his enemy and striking a desperate
blow when opportunity presented.
Each was adapted to the conditions
amid which his war for freedom was
waged. Washington was the Father
of his country; Gomez kept the torch
of revolution blazing till help came,
and therein is the chief likeness be-
tween two heroes on whose heads
tryants placed great price.
Gomez was great in peace. When
his cause had triumphed, and the per-

BOER CONFERENCE.

London, May %. ALL statements re-
garding the deliberations of the Beers
at Vereeniging are guesses. Their
sessions are private and under Gen.
Kitchener's orders they are not dis
turbed. 1t is expected that their de-
alterations will last a week. The
censorship has allowed the following
to pass from Pretoria under today's
date: 1T is considered doubtful here
whether peace will be concluded.
Basis terms are being discussed by
the Beers. The Free State representa-
tives are believed to be opposed to
the British conditions Ex-President
Steyn, who leads the opposition, is
more extreme that Gen. DeWet, who
now appears to be more pacific than
formerly but both of them, with Wes-
sells, Muller, Hertzog and Cellier are
against peace. They undoubtedly are
strong and render the conclusion of
peace doubtful. Those who convened
the conference, consisting of members
of the old Transvaal government un-
doubtedly favor peace, while the Free
States desire independence as the basis
of any terms.
London, May pa telegram from
the Pretoria correspondent says 1.-THE
Boer leaders arrived at Pretoria ON
Sunday with peace proposals arranged
by the Boer conference at Vereeig-
ing. 1t is further reported in Lon
don today that the proposals to be
submitted by the Boer leaders are in
effect demand for territorial indie
pendence.

FAIR WARNING.

The banner of the holy cause of
temperance is trailed in the dust OF
this canvass for the governorship. If
it is not bedrabbled with dirt and
mud, if the cause itself is not fatally
wounded, the fact will not be due to
certain of its protesting friends.
Prohibition has been made the fig
ure head of one of the candidates
Personally, he says, he is for prohibi-
ton. He doesn't say what he would
do as Governor But Vermont is not
an autocracy. Mr. Proctor may be
able to enforce his will III the boro' of
sonal and absolute power end. Be-
yond the limits of the boro' the law
and the constitution of the State rule.
In the boro the people are subservi-
ent to the one man power. In the
State the people are masters, the one
man is the servant
To make the Lord of Proctorboro'
Governor, an unholy alliance for an
unnatural purpose, inimical to the
best interests of temperance, has
been made between the Lord of Proc.
torboro', under the banner of prohibi-
ton, and some of the forces of license.
Wearing the prohibition lions skin
they are roaring Justify for the Lord of
Proctorboro'. Beneath the disguise
are the long ears of another brute,
But some temperance people refuse
to be disillusioned They still believe
the ass is the real thing, the real pro-
hibition king An awakening waits
them. Temperance is getting black
eye out of this connection, and the
discoloration will be deeper yet if the
singular, do not break away from this
unholy alliance, if they do not cease
to follow the Proctor decoy and speed
lily align themselves with the forces
under the leadership of the men who
have record of lifelong consistency
and loyalty as soldiers under the true
banner of temperance and who have
long fought its battles.
The developments of the past few
days should make their impression ON
| temperance men who are still follow
ing the false leadership of the Lord
of Proctorboro' if they have not
heretofore seen the error of their
ways.

A COMMUNICATION.

Editor Vermont Waterman will
you please allow me little space in
your paper in which to express my
views about Mr.. Proctor's attitude on
prohibition. To my way of thinking
there is something very inconsistent
in his position. He is for prohibition
but he employs all the advocates of
high license free RUM to shout for
him That seems to me very much
like employing Satan to help put him
in position to fight against Satan.
Even Mr., Clement, the great apostle
of high license, free rum) is indirect.

Proctor is going to fight high license
with tools made for high license.

quench fire you would have to use
water. You cannot put out fire with

far better for him to employ those

not those who are opposed TO it.
