The Krakatoa Eruption.
Waterbury, May y, 1902
To the Editor of The Free Press:

To the Editor of The Free Press:
In your editorial on Martinique IN the
Free Press of May II you class the catas-
trophe with the other two great disasters
of the world and refer TO Pompeh ana
Lisbon.
What is the matter with krakatoa whose
terrible eruption occurred in 1888 Have
you forgotten the sunsets during that au-
tumn? The sound of the explosion was
heard distinctly at a distance of 2,N1
miles; 1853 villages were destroyed and 36,-
$50 human beings persisted.
GEORGE S. BIDWELL.
In the article referred to by our cores
pondent three notable distinctions of cit
les by commissions of nature were men,
toned Krakatoa was an uninhabited
island, or mountain rising from the sea,
and no city was destroyed by that erup-
ton. The lives lost were destroyed by the
tidal waves, caused by the eruption, which
inundated many villages on the shores of
the strait of Lunda. The disaster so far
differed from the distinctions of Pompeii
Lisbon and st. Pierre. that it was not nec-
essary to class them together, though in
some respects the explosion of Mont Pelee
seems to have resembled that of Krakatoa

Benefitting the Vermont Farmer.

1t required no argument to show that
the eXactions of the beef trust would be
of material benefit to the Vermont farmer,
4nd judging from adviccs received from diff

gree. a correspondent from the southern
part of the State tells of a farmer who

to finish them for the market, everything
fed to them was grown on the farm, and
the work the pair did more than paid for
be multiplied; and we might also refer to
the increased demand for homegrown
pork, mutton and other meat products,
which are now finding ready market.
The state Of public feeling against the
trust is such at the present time that it
would not be polite for the combine to
discipline retail dealers in meat products
for encouraging local farmers to help to
supply the demand; and when once the
mutual advantages of this new relation
ship of producer dealer and consumer are
realized it will be a difficult matter to
return to former conditions. Now is the
Vermont farmers opportunity, and lie
should not be slow to take advantage
thereof any moro than consumers should
be ready to cooperate for the purpose of
breaking the hold of the trust. perma-
nently, and thus making it possible to en-

to the consideration of other methods of
restriction upon such merits as they may
have. Second the logical effect of his eff
fort, so far as it has any effect, is to lead
the voters to at best premature. and at
worst unwise committal to the doctrine
Of license.
The necessity for some form of restric.
ton OF the traffic in intoxicants Is uni
versally admitted. The people by their
1t Is for them still to say to what extent
and by what methods the restriction shall
be applied. The subject Is an intensely
practical one, bristlirg with difficulties
because every form of restriction must
stand the buffets Of two abiding human
passions-appetite and avarice. Against
these human ingenuity can devise no law
which can be perfectly enforced.
The success of any restrictive law must
always be n matter of degree the results
beneficial or otherwise, depending on the
temper and character OF the people. For
n community like that of Vermont, as oui
readers know. We have discovered no form

produce better results than that which,
restricts the legal traffic in alcoholic
liquors to single authorized agency in
each town; but we have never maintained
that the law in all its details was a per-
feet statute, and we are by no means
averse to a full and fair and broad dis
cussion of the subject upon it's merits.
The people should not be shut up to the
consideration of a single remedy for the
evils, imaginary or real, of the present
law. If any radical change IN the existing
law is ever to be made, 1t should be UNI
dertaken only after calm and thorough
discussion Of every phase of the question
and upon comparison of all methods which
suggest any promise of favorable results.
Such discussion the question is not re-
ceiving from Mr.. Clement, and to the wise
solution Of the problem, partisan appeals
coon songs and the blare Of brass bands
can afford little aid.

Pre- Memorial Day in Our Schools.
The people of Vermont have always bee


famous for their intense patriotism, and
that the present generation is determined
that there shall be no backward movement
in this respect is indicated by the provision
made for the intoxicating of lessons of pa
triotsm in our public schools. The act OF
the legislature providing for the observ-
ance of the day preceding Memorial day
by the public schools of this State was n
happy thought Since the institution of this
custom in 1894 there has been a constantly
increasing interest In the observance of
the day, until the children have come 10
look forward to the exercises each year
with delightful anticipation The school au-
thorities have endeavored to have an in
teresting programme carried out on each
Pre- Memorial day and to invest the day
with an interest for the children not UNI
like that which the observance of Mem
orial day has for people of more mature
years
State Superintendent Walter f. Ranger
has devoted large amount of time to the
preparations for the observance of the ap-
preaching Pre- Memorial day, and one of
the results is a handsome booklet of forty
eight pages intended to serve as an aid
to teachers in the preparation. 1t is a pub
location which will have interest for all
classes of people. however. About twenty
pages of the booklet deal with the history
and life of Vermont and embody matter
that will appeal to all residents. The con-
tents include predatory letters from j. II.
Lucia, department commander of the Yer
mont Grand Army Of the Republic. and
from Superintendent of Education Walter
j.. Ranger. both Of which breathe the
spirit of true patriotism.
A feature of the publication that will ap-
peal to all readers is the presentation OF
patriotic sentiments uttered by prominent
Vermonters. Those who responded to the
request of Superintendent Ranger for pa
triotic sentiments are the Hon. John w.
Rowell, chief Judge OF the Supreme Court,
and Judges James NJ. Tyler and Wcnde
