President Roosevelt Not Determined
 Upon His Course.

President A&OOseVeN NOt Determined
 Upon His Course.
 Washington. Nov. 15.-No decision has yet been reached by the president and other Republican leaders regard ing possible action of congress on the subject of the tarim. It can be said authoritotively that no decision will be reached as to such action either at a regular or at an extraordinary session of the fifty-ninth congress until the subject has been considered thorough ly by the president and his cabinet and his political friends in congress-
 The president Is not bound by any preconoeived views on the subject and is open to conviction as to the most desirable coure to pursue. He is not inclined to favor an extraordinary ses- sion, either for the purpose of taking up the tariff or any other subject: but it. is said to be too early yet even to indicate the determination which eventually will be reached.

And how often the minister uses them to illustrate a beautiful Cnristian thought and impress the divine good ness of God to his creatures This good woman is one of the few remain ing who has lived through the history of the Siloam Church, and until her active members. While in many respects God has bestowed upon her many of the richest blessings of lire. time with his changing scenes ana death with his cycle has left their im print, but the master mind protected

A Vigorous Vermont Kick.

1t is safe to say that both those who
did and those who did not support Gen.

reason for thinking that Vermont made
an unwise choice in the election of her
governor and that there is no decent
man who will not resent the slur in
the following paragraph recently print
ed in a Boston paper: Governor Nc
Culloughs $4,000 check to the Univer-
sity Of Vermont and a $1,000 check to
the St Johnsbury academy may set a
financial precedent which will be diff
ficult for other New England COVER

bank account which elected him, this
may be in the nature of a conscience

A Generous Tribute.


| But we must not forget that it costs
something to be a democrat in YER
mont, and for all the sport that is made
of the devoted little corporal's guard of
democracy that religiously keeps "a
live the altar fires of its political faith
in this state of unbelievers and scott
ers, they are setting the thoughtful
citizen an object lesson that Is not
lightly to be dismissed. Because the
devotion of a Vermont democrat to
his state party organization must be in
spired at the outset by pure fidelity to
conviction and carried out by the cour-
age that prompts man to stand forth
and be counted with the few when he
believes in his soul that the few are
right for no Vermont democrat can
look forward to distinguished honor or
substantial emolument within the gift
of the state as reward for party SER
vice. His devotion to the cause of
democracy must be labor of love.
Looking this stubborn fact squarely in
the eyes. as they must. it takes manly
pluck for the intelligent and ambitious
young man of Vermont to ally himself
with this hopeless minority, to fight its
losing battles year in and year out
from young manhood to old age as
many have done and many are doing
now, when he knows for a moral GER
tainty at the beginning that his poll
teal utilization can in no wise advance
his fortunes and that the door to pub
Tic life as a statesman is forever closed
against him. And when the young
democrat who has voluntarily cast in
his lot with those who are willing to be
biennially slaughtered at the polls for
opinions sake sees on the other hand I
his young republican companion tread |
ng with ambitious feet the prosperous [
Daths Of political preferment. then his |
courage shines all the more conspicu-
,usly by contrast

The Burlington News, it seems, suf-
fered needless pangs of humiliation
some time ago, over the notoriety CIV
en- Vermont as skunk paradise, by
the city papers. Instead of keeping
people away, the skunks are actually
proving an inducement to draw them
in and a party of expert Wisconsin
trappers are even now laying plans to
invade Vermont this spring for the
sake of her skunk spoils. The chief
of police" at Thompson Point, Lake
Champlain, has been appealed to for
statistics and everything seems propi-
tious for a boom in the skunk in
dustry that shall elevate it above the
reach of the petty shafts of calumny
and ridicule.

might have been fitting in earlier days
when the national Legislature had time
enough to attend to all necessary bust
ness In these times when only a small
part of needed work can be done, con-
