complimenting them for their gallant
ry. In the following despatch to the
President of the United States of
America, the Kaiser expressed his
high approval of American men and
ships:
On my arrival at Kiel / was saluted
by fine American squadron and had
the pleasure of receiving Admiral
Cotton and his captains. 1t was very
happy and kind inspiration on your
part to send the squadron to Kiel for
the week, and thanks to this fact l
was able to inspect the magnificent
flagship Kearsarge today, when | was
able to compliment the captain on the
exceptionally good state of efficiency
and neatness of the ship and the fine
appearance of his gallant crew. With
the expression of my warmest thanks,
| assure you that the squadron is
warmly welcomed here and will,
trust, make an agreeable stay Every
body will vie with each other to make
them feel at home, in response to the
kind and friendly reception of my
brother by the citizens of the United
States.

And President Roosevelt replied in
kind:
l thank your Majesty for your gra-
cious welcome to the United States
squadron, and for the complimentary
expressions of your despatch. l had
already received notice from Admiral
Cotton of the kindness shown him and
his squadron by your Majesty. | am
deeply impressed by these tokens of
your Majesty's friendship and good
will toward the United States, and
l reciprocate III the heartiest manner
the sentiments which your despatch
conveys.

Says the Bellows Falls Times:
President Brown of Norwich Univer-
sity has consented to remain i'll his
present capacity during the coming
year, but it is understood that at the
end of that period a new president
will be chosen. A prominent alumnus
of the institution suggests the name
of Hon. Walter E. Ranger, the present
State superintendent of education. If
an army or navy officer is wanted, Mr..
Ranger is not available; if promi-
nent educator, a man thoroughly
posted on Vermont needs, is wanted, a
better selection could hardly be made.
Mr.. Ranger is doing excellent work
in the office he now holds, and it is
doubtful if the honor of being at the
head of Norwich University would
appeal TO him strongly. If the trus-
tees want good man, there would of
course be wisdom in trying to secure

hold out inducements which would

The west is crying loudly for har-
vesters. Kansas needs 10000 i'm
ported farm hands, Nebraska, Iowa
and South Dakoga are almost as hard
up and North Dakota and Minnesota
will need them just as much before
long. State bureaus are striving to
get men for jobs paying from 50 to 50
day and board, and women expert
enced in farm work can earn extraor
binary wages. 1t looks as though the
impressment Of laborers will have to
be repeated this year.

Mayor Burke of Burlington is inn
bued with the idea that city officials
appointed by DR. d. O. Hawley while
he was mayor de facto of the Queen
City were legally retired from Office
with the official who appointed them.
Acting upon this belief Mr.. Burke
has appointed j. Alberg Gingrass, a
Repu blican, to succeed l.. E. Palmer
who was appointed police examiner
for term of three years by Mayor
Hawley. The blacksmith mayor is
doubtless honest in his belief, but mas
much as the police examiners will in
vestigate that officials charges
against Chief Brownell this week
there is at least a suggestion of manip-
ulation. Whether Palmer or Gin
grass is legally entitled TO the office
may be matter for the courts to de-
eide. Burlington's official dog killer
is also victim of the mayors idea.
He was appointed by Mayor Hawley
during the latter's de facto term and
at the request of Mayor Burke not
only ceased to eXterminate CANNES
that had not legal right to life. but
simplified matters for the mayor by
handing in his resignation.

1t seems just little curious at this
early period in the history Of the Ii

it's provisions should be permitted,
but such reports are not uncommon.
One comes from Rutland via the
Evening News of that city which,
considering that city's part in making
a law that can be enforced raises
smile. The News quotes from a
Pittsfield, Mass, paper concerning
Sunday selling in that city and
says: 1t is of local consequence

CHILD LABOR IN VERMONT.

Child labor has not been serious
question in Vermont up to date, but
it is likely to be one of the problems
Of the next Legislature. The initial
step toward reform along this line
was taken at the recent Episcopal
diocesan convention at Rutland, when
the Revs. Brian O. Roberts Of Barre,
Joseph Reynolds of Rutland and e.
7. Mathison of Brattleboro, and
three laymen, were chosen as a com
mittee to investigate the conditions
of child and female labor in Vermont
and report at the next convention to
be held at st, Adams. 1t may startle
the good people of the State to know
that Vermont and the States of Ala
bama and South Carolina are classed
as those affording the least protection
against abuses in the employment of
these two classes of labor; the COM
pulsory school law which provides that
all children between the ages of five
and fourteen years must attend school
at least twenty-five weeks in the year
being the only safeguard against the
child labor evil.
OF course conditions in Vermont
are unlike those of many States, and
her industries generally are not Of

ment of children, but the evil GER
tainly exists to some extent as was
shown in recent raids by the truant
officer on the mills at Winooski, when
several youngsters of school age were
found among the wage earners. The
Rutland convention did we'll in inaug-
urating this investigation and while it
is hoped and believed that no start
ling abuses in this line may be discov-
cred, it is certainly best to know the
true condition of the matter that
remedies may be applied if necessary.

The day is now, what it ever will
be, time to rejoice and be glad be-
cause the patriots of one hundred and
twenty seven years ago took the inev-
liable step of proclaiming America

world power. In the struggle which
determined the status of the original
States many thousand lives were lost
and more were wounded, but this
was counted as nothing in view of
the result achieved. Since that time,
perhaps as many more have given up
the ghost or been more sor less mu.
tilated in celebrating it's achieve

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

The Fourth of July is Americas
great day and it will always remain
So Other holidays have dwindled
into oblivion because they have de-
generated from festivals of a solemn
sort into carnivals of noise and hi
larity; but Independence Day will
never share that fate because from the
beginning it has been the occasion of
noisy demonstration, and if more re-
cent years have brought more of this
kind of thing, so much the better for
1t will only serve to more securely
perpetuate the institution. 1t is the
birthday anniversary of the nation,
and even if the British lions tail is
noe twisted so industriously as in the
earlier days of the republic, it is
none the less a day when Amer
lean hearts, young and old, beat more
rapidly and feelings of patriotism are
highest. Just why there is an alb
sence of the twisting" process that
was once so much part of July 4th
celebrations may perhaps be explained
by the fact that the country has
grown so great and powerful that a
return to the times which ended
when the naughty CORVALLIS deliv-
cred his sword to Washington at York
town would seem childish; but how
ever that may be it is happily true
that Briton may travel the length
and breadth of the country today
without seeing or hearing the slightest
thing to ruffie his feelings.
