No Call for Expansion.

white River Junction Landmark
1t is to be hoped that the recognition
by the United States. of Panama as a
republic may not lead to actual war
with Colombia. This country wants
no war with Colombia IL 1t can be hon.
orably averted. There is no call for
expansion or territorial possessions in
South America. In fact, we believe
that the sentiment of this country is
against the acquisition OF more terri
tory. There are problems difficult of
solution right here at home without
bringing in new questions to disturb
the nation. History teaches that IL
was a desire for conquest and expan-
sion that finally led to the downfall of
the Roman empire. The republic had
better learn TO govern itself wisely and
to satisfactorily settle questions that
are now agitating our own people, in
stead of venturing upon hazardous
schemes of expansion.

1.-THE End Is One"

| The Randolph Herald breaches, in
its last issue, thoughtful Christmas
sermon" on the subject of the union of
churches. 1t believes that, IL all Chris
tian bodies resting their faith on sub
stantially the same theology would
sink non essentials and join in one
grand, get-together movement the
devil would quake in his boots-for the
first time in centuries"
This is a very good thought and one
whose practical carrying out would re-
suit in much good to humanity through
the fertilization and extension Of moral
purposes and work. But the littleness of
the mind of man would render such I'M
ion impossible or at least most imperfect
and impotent, Human nature in gen
to travel heavenward over any other
route than the one selected by Itself.
1t recognizes no mon essentials in its
own creed The good intent the hon.
est conviction, the loyalty to concep-
ton of truth, back of this littleness in
most cases, must soften the judgment
of those who can take the wider view

nately along, each in his own small
path.

What a Shame!

bOStOH
Spectators overstock the Christmas
tree supply In Philadelphia by about
thirty carloads. Seeing that Christ
mas trees were likely to be too chear
for their interest in the market they
ordered thirty full carloads of spruces
and pines from the West Philadel-
phia yards to a side track dump. sat
urated them with oil and burned them.
The result is that there are only
about 1900 Christmas trees in Phila-
delphia to supply the usual demand
of about 5000. If the consumers of
Christmas trees can get along and
celebrate Christmas without them this
outrageous destruction of property in
order to rob the consumer might be
justly punished. The assumed right
to do what one pleases with ones own
has so been overworked in recent years
in this country that we should devise
some new means of preventing the
crime of destruction of property in or
der to create artificially high prices.
That such a crime should be commit
ted in connection with the Christmas
festivities Shows that the ideas for
which Christmas stands need further

Mr.. DeBoer's Definition.

The Vermonter summarizes the re-
ditions of the state most ably in its
January issue, with the cooperation of
several distinguished authorities on the
subjects treated. Hon. Joseph A. De-
Boer of Montpelier, one of Vermont's
foremost financiers, contributes the in

Gus good and practical suggestions for
the further advancement of the New
Vermont" in which he has firm belief.
His comprehension of the much dis
cussed term is a, virile one. He says:
THE people have the power. There
is already a good momentum, and it is
sustained by the ablest papers in the
state. What the thinking men of the
state want are better roads. a right use
of public charters, intelligent super
vision of corporations, a wisely spent
tax, the best attainable public schools,
the increase and protection of our for
ests. better attention to the local gov
eminent of our towns and more atten-
ton in their proper time to affairs of
state than to less relevant issues. They
want largely attended ana honest prim-
aries, pure elections. opportunities on
merit, prompt and effective execution
of laws, and investments of money
within the state. 1t is upon the ex-
istence of more of this kind of thought,
opinion and desire and of ambition to
seek prosperity. thrift and honor, rath-
er in ourselves than wholly in the past,
that the idea and term of a New or a
Greater Vermont is founded. In this
sense it is a good working idea, wholly |
true and practicable and bound to a

A Welcome Rain.
New England Farmer. !

lNtW Eitsitilu
The rain, which was almost deluge
in some parts of New England last
Sunday, was of very material benefit
1t broke a drought which had become
very serious. In many of the towns
there was a veritable water famine
and all through the country the
streams, springs and wells were failing
The milk supply was rapidly decreas-
ing, and dairy products advancing in
price.
A snow storm set in Saturday night.
soon turning to rain, the temperature
continued to rise. until in the north
ern parts of Vermont a change of sew
enty degrees was experienced, from IS
below zero TO As above. The rain in
creased to a heavy downpour, the icy
crust to which the first rain had
changed as 1t fell. was melted. and soon
the swollen streams showed that the
drought was broken.
The general effects of the rain and
rapid thaw are highly favorable,
some small inconvenience accom-
panied them. In place of the
fine sleighing of last week the
roads are almost impossible, and
farm work was practically suspended.
But on the whole it was blessed rain,
and all New England may well be
thankful for 1t to Him who "watereth
the hills from his chambers"

A New Vermont Book.

The publication Of n real book by
renee. Those who have the privilege
of reading "A Daughter of the Rich
by Miss Mary Il. Waller of Bethel, will
admit 1t is sufficiently good to raise
the average for 1903. Miss Waller Is
a native of Boston, but has made her
summer home in Bethel for some years
and is now resident of that town.
She has written previously the story of
the Little Citizen" which, like her
new book, deals with New England life.
The scene of "A Daughter of the Rich"
is laid at "Barton's Landing" ficti-
tious place 40 miles from White River
Junction. The daughter of the rich"
is sent from New York city to the
home of the Blossoms, a good Vermont
family of father. mother and five chill
dren. OF their experiences the story is
made up and the love story of Rose,
the eldest Blossom, and Jack, the rich
Harvard boy is not the least interest
ing. While the book is written for
young people, it is not without inter-
est to the older members of any New
England family. II is somewhat ideal
istic for a picture of New England life,
but New England life can stand some
idealizing. Its only defect is in the IL
which do not bring out
the characters as they evidently were
in the authors mind.
Miss Waller has been likened to
Louisa NJ. Alcott and her work GER
tainly warrants it.
"A Daughter of the Rich" is pub
Iished by Little, Brown & Co, Bos-
ton. at s1.50 and can be obtained of
generally.

Would Have Been More Disnified.


Instead of assuming that the Colom-
bians are black-eyed villains who had
no further claim upon the consdera-
ton of just men and governments. we
might well have taken the ground that
the whole question of the distribution
of the money involved in the sale and
transfer of the Panama canal zone
should be referred to arbitration. But
our government rushed head over heels
to support a comic opera revolution
whose inspiration undoubtedly came
from the French canal company, which
aimed to get every dollar it could out

The st. Adams Messenger notes sew
eral arguments that might be adj
vanced" against our recent comment
on the question of the relative import
and the gubernatorial candidate. These
are. in brief, that it is the will of the
people and not the viii of one man
that the government undertakes to
serve and that the governor of Yer
mont does not have any effective share
in the law making power and is pow
erless to carry out the best of inten-
lions. The Messenger misinterprets
our position in that we by no means
meant to underestimate the value of
a good state platform but merely to
place it as secondary in Importance
course, be the result of long and care
full thought for the interests of the
people of Vermont. What we did say,
and what we still hold. was that party
promises are not certain of fulfilment
but a good man in the executive chair
is bound to be working steady good to
the state. Perhaps the governor of
Vermont does not have as much power
as he should have; still he has some
power and a great deal of influence. At
any rate, as the highest executive Of
ficer in the state he is entitled to first
consideration and the highest respect.
We are not among those who consider
the governorship a mere empty title
that any man who has the where
with" may wear for awhile; and IL we
were we are very. very sure we
wouldn't let on"

Those Big Granite Contracts.
u N 4 a.l..la IIa....tl

The growth of the granite industry
in Vermont Is apparent when 1t be-
comes possible for towns like Hard
wick, Mortified and Bethel to COM
miserate Barre on failing to secure
such great contracts as those of the
Harrisburg capitol and the Washing
ton terminal. However. an occasional
carload of stock is still taken out and
cut at Barre. and sooner or later the
parent city will land one of the big
fish. Vermont granite is coming on
fast. Whether the stone comes from
Milestone Hill, Woodbury. or Bethel 1t
all makes for the good of the state.

Those of us who. with health, sense

like this: I believe in God, | believe
in man, / believe in the power OF the

encourage ourselves and others; to
hold the tongue from any unhappy
word against Gods world, because no
man has any right to complain Of a
universe which God made good and
which thousands of men have striven
to keep good. I believe we should SO
act that we may draw nearer and more
near the age when no man shall live at
his ease while another suffers " This
