NOT EVERLASTING.

One Sunday we'll known clergyman
who was noted for his efforts to quell
strong drink received a very great sur
prise. As he was taking his usual walk
home, he saw a man about to enter a
public house.
Going up to him he accosted him with
the words: DO you know, my man, that
whenever you go into that house you &c
into hell?"
whats that got ter do with it?" was
the surly rejoinder. Don't they chuck
yer out again at o'clock"
The clergyman's feelings can better be
imagined than Decentralization Spare
Moments.
THE HUMAN INSECT.
He was described as beetle browed,
AS busy as a bee;
AS lively as a cricket
And gay June bug for glee;
He buzzed like a mosquito
But the people said: "Oh, my!
We do not like that persons ways,
He seems extremely fly"
New Orleans Times Democrat.
THE COMMON FATE.
Dan Cupid lmped into his ONCE:
All battered and bruised was his head
A bandage and splints graced his person
Il umpired a love match he said.

STOP SEEMING.
From the Montpelier Argus.)

The Free Press puts up a strong plea
for the prevention of seining in Lake
Champlan that should be needed. So
long as Vermont allows the practice to
continue she is squandering one of her
great natural resources and the time viii
come when it will be impossible to res
tore even the conditions that now exist.
Looked at merely from business stand
point seining is "A wasteful and destruc-
tive and will deprive tho State of thous-
ands of dollars for every one it receives
for SEEMING licenses.

NO PARDON FOR MCCLURE.
0Erom the Fair Haven Era,)

The watchful care which the press of
Vermont is giving TO events throughout
the state was noticeable in the many
comments called forth by the proposed
petition for the pardon Of Marvin A. Nc
Clure sentenced 10 serve six years In the
House OF Correction for completely in
wrecking the Merchants National Bank
of Rutland. The newspapers OF the
state all honor to them, have opposed
any leniency upon the part OF the presi-
dent and it Is not to be supposed that he
would even think seriously or interfering
with the sentence unevenhanded as was
Justice in the case of Mcclure and MUS
sey-in the face of II united public opin-
ion.
1t is this pardon exercising and abus-
ing power on the part OF our rulers that
has had much TO do in bringing the laws
of the land into desrepute and has caus-
ed so many to resort to mob rule and
the decisions of Judge Lynch.

Two facts, small in themselves APP
parently, r mainly responsible for
the fact that Sundays wreck seri-
GUS as it was, was not the cause of a
score OF deaths and the injury of
the engines trucks did not all go to
the same side of the track when de-
rallied and the second is that the
bridge on which two of the cars were
burned and rel which two others
passed has steel Orders on each side.
The Derailment.
The engines front trucks jumped
the track and ran to the south of the
rails on which they belonged while
the drivers and trailers ran along on
the north side of their respective rails.
In other words the big locomotive
"straddled" the tracks and was thus
prevented from falling over to the
other side. This kept it from strik-
ing the side of the bridge and crash.
ing down the embankment which
would have doubtless resulted in tele-
scoping four or FIVE cars behind it and
the ditching of the whole train with
the resulting deaths of many passen-
gers and members of the train crew.
The side Orders on the bridge,
standing. five feet high above the lev
ell of the rails. though they literally
tore the side from the first four cars
of the train. prevented the cars from
falling thirty feet to the bed of the
creek below. which would have caused
the death or serious injury of every
occupant.
1t is a very unusual occurrence for
the trucks of an engine to "straddle"
the track as did those of 1910 yester-
day and the reason for this is as in
applicable as is that for the wreck it.

BRITISH MONROE.
Foreign Secretary LansdOwne
PrOclaims the Doctrine
That Other Powers Must Stay
Off the Persian Gulf.
IT WILL MEAN WAR.
To Establish a Naval Base or
Fortified Post.
The Answers of the Powers Are
The Answers of the Powers Are
Awaited With Anxiety.

London. May 6-Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne has proclaimed a British
Monroe doctrine in the Persian gulf. and
has practically notified the competing
powers that any attempt on their part
to establish a naval base or fortified
post in those waters means war with
Great Britain
Il say without hesitation. said the
foreign secretary, dealing with the sub
ject in the house of lords yesterday y
evening. that we should regard the
establishment Of a naval base or for
tilted port in the Persian gulf by any
other power as a very grave menace to
British interests and we should GER
tainlv resist it with all the means at
our disposal"
Lord Lansdowne preceded this ex-
plicit enunciation of British policy BY a
review of the situation there as it
affected British interests, contending
that so far as the navigation of the
Persian gulf was concerned Great
Britain held a position different from
that of the other powers both because
it was owing to British enterprise anc
expenditure of life and money that the
gulf was now open to the commerce OF
the world and because the protection OF
litSs sea route 10 InQld H6CGSSlldlCQ DAAl-
ish preDonderance in the gulf.
Lord Lansdowne's attitude in this
matter generally meets with approval
although the answers thereto of the
other powers interested in the gulf art
awaited with some anxiety.
The newspapers here comment on the
analogy of the present proceeding.
which Captain Mahan SO strongly rec
ommended. to the United States policy
of Monroeism. The Westminster Ga
zette holds that the British motive
namely. the protection of the sea route
to India, corresponds exactly with the
American motive in excluding Euro
pean powers from American waters be
cause their territory is thereby threat
ened.
