Here in Vermont we sometimes brag
about the great men the state sends
forth to win laurels in other fields.
Lest we forget that we are not yet en-
titled to the sublime degree of Master
of Perfection the Banner and Reform
er reprints the following from the Troy
Press:
Brigham Young, tha notorious old
bigamiSt who went somewhere beyond
the precincts of our human vision a
few years ago, was born in Whiting
ham, Vermont, Junr |, 1901. He was
as big fakir as doe Smith and had
vastly more meauuess. Joe was vain
glorious, and delighted to pose as a
great prophet--a child of heaven en-
dowed with supernal gifts, But he
was essentially good natured, and of
a kindly grain. Brigham, however,
was a coarse, cunning, immoral,
avaricious and utterly INSCRIPTIONS
adventurer. With carnal-minded
cussedness " he pollut d the faith Of
the Mormons with the scarlet evil OF
polygamy-particularly p the
DiSnOpSi VI WuOiH ne Wda one.
The bloody and horrible history Of
early Mormonism is traceable 10 his
malefc influence more than TO any
other single cause. When Mormon
leadership passed from Smith to
Young, great degradation of the
movement resulted; criminality and
brutality disfgured the new and much
more despotic regime. Brigham
Young may have been an ADLER man
than Smith, but he was certainly much
wickeder. In the history of Mormon
ism he will figure as its most obnox-
ious personality, for in the lifetime of
its founder RIGHTEOUSNESS was not
"santiied by bogus revelations. 4"

The Emporia, Kan, Gazette, OF
which William Allen White, the well
known author, is editor, recently
printed a short editorial that should
be read by every father and mother OF
boys and girls who have the welfare
of their children at heart. 1t says:
"The mothers of this town have had
a lesson-but it doesn't seem to have
done them any good, There are just
as many girls gadding around town
after school now getting their mail
from private boxes in the
local post Office as there
were ten days ago. Two years ago
the Gazette went after the mothers of
Emporia for neglecting their daugh-
ters and the result was that half a
dozen private mail boxes were discon-
tinued and a lot of little girls that
were in the habit of gadding too much
were kept in for time.
These girls are now developing into
fine young women, but another crop
of gadding girls has come on and the
Gazette hopes no ones modesty will
be shocked by saying that these little
hussies ought to be spanked good and
red. They are betweee IA and II years
old and are just so everlastingly boy
struck that they can't sit still. If
their mothers knew the type of boys
and men--young human pups-these
girls are running with their mothers
would throw fits.
But their mothers know nothing of
the situation. They think their little
girls are so sweet and pure that moth
ing can harm them. The truth is that
these children are made of the same
kind of mud that we are all made of
and they are just as liable to tempta-
tion as older people and thousand
times less experienced And their
mothers let them CAD Commercial
street after school and hirt with all
kinds of men, and then their mothers
wonder how the devil got them and
think the girls must take after" their
father.
There are just two things that will
keep girls straight at that age, " one
is plain clothes and the other is home
duties. The girls who make fools of
themselves in Emporia are invariably
overdressed. They wear buds that
women of thirty should hesitate about
wearing, -

Last winter there was considerable
kicking in some quarters because the
village was buying fue to warm club
rooms and parlors for ne members of
the village fire depsrtrient, To be
sure most OF this croaking came from
persons whose opinion is not of ex-
ceeding great value but it was listened
to with attention by many. The other
side of the case has been shown up
more recently. Eleven times, we be-
lieve, since the first of March, the fire
department has been called out for
service and every time has acquitted
itself creditably. Most of these alarms
have been in the night and in half the
cases at least little delay or incom-
petence on the part of the fremen
would have vastly increased the losses
of Bennington property owners. Yet
these young men serve without pay or
reward, the money they receive being
all expended, and much more beside, to
keep the company quarters in order
and presentable. The public expects
everything OF the fremen in case of
fire and when next winter the boys ask
for length OF new stovepipe or an
other electric light for their rooms,
they really ought to be able to get
them without hearing lot Of grum-
bling about the terrible expense they
are to the village.

Is Memorial Day a back number
and does the public no longer care to
honor patriotism and devotion to
country? These questions must have
come to the minds of those present at
the exercises at the Methodist church
Saturday morning. The audience at
these services Of honor, duty, and love
for the departed consisted of the or
CARNATIONS taking part and a mere
handful of others. Our existence to-
day as nation is due to the sacrifices
of the soldiers of the Civil war. BY
their aid the Union stood against the
south and against the world which was
ready at the first sign of weakness to
fall upon and crush US. Today the
newer generation appears to feel no
longer the need to worship at the old
altar Of patriotism mountaineering
the public spirited efforts of the old
soldiers-passed by on the other side.
