who has been bishop of Porto Rico since
the close of the Spanish-American war.
He compared the conditions under Span

appealed with great effect to his hearers.

AS to Race Prejudice.

From the Springfield Republican,
This talk of race separation will strike
anybody who stops to think over 1t as
wholly idle except in so far as il may be
confined to the creation Of exclusively
coored communities in the states where
the colored population Is large. The
white South would resist a general col
ored exodus to the utmost, for that would
mean the loss OF a third OF its popula-
ton and nearly proprtionate shrinkage
in the value of all Southern property.
The supposition that Northern whites
would move in as fast as the negro
moved out is a hope, and not an assur-
ance-something remotely possible, but
not probable until at least the available
country northward into British territory
had been crowded full for the whole
present drift of the northern races OF Eu-
rope and America is northward rather
than southwark. The Industrial South
simply cannot spare the negro and
knows 1t, and will resist his general GO
ing to the uttermost-and that ends the
deportation or separation discussion as
serious and practical matter.
What then? We shall always come
back to the same point from every des-
perate voyage for discovery of a solu-
ton of the race question-and this IS,
that the black Is here to stay, that the
white must live with him at peace or at
war, that he cannot live with the negro
at war ana De AT peace Win hlfnSeii,
that he cannot live with the negro at
peace and deny to him the rights and OPP
portunities of man, and that therefore
the only way out Is to smash the assump-
ton which the John Temple Graveses set
up as a rock of everlasting truth, name
l., that race prejudice is as fixed and in
eradiCable as the very structure of the
human body. 1t is not SO. To affirm It
is affirm that man IS incapable of grow
ing out OF the narrow and miserable lit
tie inheritances from his cave-dwelling
f ancestry.
The real truth is that race prejudice is
an acquired and not a natural possession.
Man. and not God, is responsible for it.
and Ignorance and provincialism. and not
/ enlightenment. are the soil in which it
lives and grows. IL Is greatest where the
human life IS smallest and narrowest
and meanest and the least where life is
largest in knowledge and experience.
This is simple fact. and the Gentle In the
presence OF the Jew, or the Yankee in
/ the presence of the Celt or the white
man In the presence OF the Negro. will
do well ever to keep the fact in mind.
That way. and that way only, lies the
solution to the race problem Education
is the word-but education for the white
quite as much as for the black. 1t ia
race prejudice, and not the Negro, which
. " must GO.

Woman ;Murderously iAssulted in
South Mortified, VI.

Mrs. Stephen Tromblcy was found in a
badly battered condition and semi-deleri-
Gus by neighhors at her home in South
Northheld Wednesday. Her husband is
in Jail at Montpelier charged with as
saulting. and she was alone in the house
with her child four years old. when she
was awakened about midnight to find a
man in her room. She shouted for help.
but the man attacked her with his fists
and "A piece of fire wood. Leaving her
stunned the man fled from the house.
Mrs. Trombley rushed to the window
and shouted again. The intruder warned
Mrs. Trombley that If she did not keep
quiet he would come back and kill her.
she cried out all the louder. Thereupon
the assailant returned swiftly to the
house and he brutally struck Mrs. Tromb-
ley on the head with the same club he
had before used. The woman fell uncon-
scious, but from the evidence offered by
the many wounds. il is thought that the
assailant continued to strike the woman
repeatedly about the head and body.
The child, too, was assaulted. though less
savagely than the mother. In the morn
ing the cries of the child were heard by
neighbors passing and on entering they
found Mrs. Trombley in a serious condi-
ton. She thought that she recognized
her assailant as Albert Martin, a ped
dler, whose home is in Calais. and the
officers are searching for him.

with an effort to trace things to their
causes The single phrase, loose view
of life" still more briefly states the case
and tells what is at the bottom of what
tendency there may be to look more cas-
lily upon deviations from lives of truth
and honesty.
The real work of the world is directed
by men with too sincere a purpose and
too serious recognition of the highest
welfare to entertain loose views of hon
esty, truth, virtue, character and tempta-
ton such as are here outlined. AS the
world has been growing more liberal in
Its views of things that once were the
subject of the strictest Puritanical think
ing, there is danger that such loose
views as these will be the other extreme
to which young men will tend. And II is
pertinent to young men looking forward
to success to ask them to look at the
question of loose views of serious matters
through the eyes of experience.
There is no other verdict than the one
quoted when they are thus considered

One Train Robber Killed, Another
Wounded.

The Atlantic express on the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation line was held
up Wednesday night by four masked
men at Corbett, 20 miles from Portland.
One robber was killed by Express Mes
senger Kernes. Another was badly
wounded and Engineer Barrett was serl-
ously wounded by the same bullet which
killed one of the bandits. Two high
waymen boarded a train at a small sta
ton, crawled over the tender and at the
revolver point forced the engineer 10
stop at a secluded spot where two more
outlaws appeared. The engineer was
forced to dynamite the express car but
the messenger opened fire with deadly
effect and the uninjured outlaws escaped
with no booty.

Coffee has almost arrived at the point
of being the national American drink
The United States is now using some
thing more than a billion pounds year
to be accurate-the consumption for
the last two years has averaged l'Ol3'-
646,550 pounds. And this is more than
twice as much as was being used dec
ade ago. AS a pound of coffee in the
bean will make about five gallons of COT
fee in the form in which it reaches the
consumer, it figuers up to three cups OF
good, honest coffee for every man, woman
and child in the United States every day
in the year.

Letter to A. r. Roberts,
Brattleboro, VI.

Dear Sir: Mr.. Frank Robinson, Titusville,
Pa, bought Devoe with good deal of feeling
against the whole tribe of mixed paints. Our
agents there, Messrs. Kernochan g. Co.. got
him TO do it. He says:
l am more than pleased with the Job. l had
one-third of the paint left over; / know of
several other jobs, year old or more, painted
with Devoe, that are wearing well.
What pity we have TO all go through the
same school, to find out what paint TO put on
a house! Experience teaches. Isn't there any
easier way to learn?
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & co.

fused on advice of his counsel, John E.
