EAST MONTPELIER.

An all days meeting was held on
Tuesday last at the Evangelical
church. There was fair attendance
and several from out of town were
present. Immediately following the
afternoon service, camp meeting as
ISOLATION was organized The officers
elected were as follows: President,
Rev. j. A. Ward vice president,
Rev. N. d. Witham secretary, George
Maker; treasurer. Richard Doying.
A board of trustees of twelve men,
bers was also chosen. An executive
committee, composed of five of the
trustees and the officers, was then Sc
lected. The executive committee was
instructed to draw up suitable name,
rules for the organization and present
them for the consideration of the
board of trustees at its next meeting
which will be held sometime in the
near future. The meeting was then
adjourned.

JOHN +. ATHERION.

John F. Atherton died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. A. J. Bletso.
Los Angeles, CAL, May 27, in his Saith
year.
Mr.. Atherton was native OF More
town, living just across the river from
Waterbury. He went from Vermont
about sixty-three years ago. In the
days when newspapers were not in
cluded in mail matter, his older
brother, Joseph Atherton, was the
Waterman carrier between Mont
pelier and Waterbury, and his father
was carrier between Montpelier and
Craftsbury. Among the most pleas
ant recollections of my early child
hood" writes lady cousin of Mr..
Atherton, then living in Mont
pelier, are the rides took with my
cousin Joseph to Waterbury, deliver
ing papers. They had boxes for the
papers near the road, as many farm
houses were remote from the high
way. In those days paper day was
eagerly looked for, as that was then
the only way to get the news. No
telegraph or telephone in those
times. Rural delivery appears to
be recurrence to first principles.

DEMOCRACY BREAKING DOWN

The Russian who said the other day
that no American was in position to
point the finger of scorn at Russia
because Of the anti-Jewish riots spoke
with considerable measure of truth.
We do indeed live in glass house.
In parallel columns with the dis
patches from Kishineff we find in our
newspapers accounts of the hanging
and burning of-a negro in Illinois
the State of Abraham Lincoln-and a
wholesale killing Of negroes, includ-
ing an innocent woman, by mob in
Mississippi, the State of Jefferson
Davis. The Americans have their
own instinct for race persecution, and
in the qualification OF it they do not
look for points to any other nation.
And the particularly ominous feature
of the situation is that this is sup
posed to be civilized and self-gov-
erning people.
Now, if the rulers cannot obey
their own rules, if not only few
lawless spirits here and there, but
whole communities, give themselves
up to riot and bloodshed, and then in
their capacity as administrators OF
justice simply say that they will not
punish those who commit popular
crimes, and will make their own
criminal justice farce, then the
whole machinery of government seems
to be going to pieces at the founda-
tion. The justification of democratic
government is found in the ability of
the people to govern themselves. If
they cannot do this, then their democ-
racy as an order of civilized society is
failure.
The report from Illinois that no
body can be found to identify the per-
SONS who, in broad daylight and with
out masks, hanged and burned the
negro school teacher for a supposed
murder, which apparently was only
an assault, perhaps with intent to kill
is an indication of demoralized citi-
zenship which is too frequently MOTTO
cable in all parts of the country. The
grewsome catalog of lynchings is an
indictment of civilization more seri-
ously significant than the Kishiniff
atrocities. More is expected of the
American, with his traditions his
training and his boasted superiority.
And even if he does, on occasions,
give way to evil passions. it is not ex-
pected by any friend of democratic
government that all his neighbors will
rally for the protection of lawlessness
and join with one consent to break
down orderly administration. I'm.
punished rioting and lynching with
us means decay in the very bone and
tissue of democratic national life.

WEBSTER'S METHODS

AS reflection on Theodore Roose-
Welt, the Cincinnati Enquirer prints
Daniel Webster's ponderous refusal to
seek or solicit nomination for the
presidency, much as he desired the
office. Webster's policy was more
dignified than Roosevelt's; but. as
we recall it, Webster never succeeded
in obtaining the presidency, and he
was never able to console himself for
the loss of the office by remembering
that his dignity had not been ruffied
during his long receptive candidacy.
To the best of our recollection, candi-
dates for the presidency since that
time havo taken warning by Web
ster's failure, and have carefully re-
framed from initiating his methods.
