FOE OUN


Vermont For Young ~Vermouters,"
is the suggestive title OF a most IN
teresting and valuable book, written
by Miss Miriam j. Kimball, teacher
of English in Montpelier Seminary,
The book is published by p. Appleton
& Company, which tact alone Ieo-
omnends it as being worthy of more
than casual notice. The work was
prepared by the author while a
teacher in the seventh and eighth
grades, n is really the outgrowtb
of a demand among teachers for q
more connected story of our State
history than had then been compiled
for schools. 1t is suited either for
use as n reader VI textbook for the
practical teaching of Vermont his
tory.
The author has been conscientious
and painstakiDg in her historical re-
search and fortunate in her estimates
Of the events of our State history.
The book is written in clear, concise
language and its divisions into periods
render it most convenient for school
use. The arrangement of topics is
particularly we'll adapted for this
purpose also. while the maps are
excellent and cannot fail to be of
practical aid to the pupil. The il.
lustrations--over one hundred In
number-are especially fine because
of the large number not found in
previously compiled works of the kind
and for the reason that they are so
arranged as to admirably illustrate
the text. The cut showing the
drawing by Champlain of The defeat
of the Iroquois," the sword of Col.
Baum, and the jar unearthed at Boil
ton as late as 1908, are typical of The
varied nature of the pictorial part.
That the book is meeting with APP
| probation is attested by the fact that
it has already found its way into the
schools of Burlington, Montpelier,
Milton, H~inesburgh, F~errisburgh,
Plymouth, Norwich, HARTFORD, STRAIT
ford, Sharon, Danville, Brattleboro,
Mortified, Woodstock and other
towns,
Probably there is no history so
we'll suited for teaching our youth the
marvellous story of the Green Noun
tain State-no textbook 50 compre-
hensive in scope or so likely to ac-
complish what the author in her pre-
face states as its aim: To create in
the minds of Vermont youth a desire
to know more of the history of their
own State; cause them to feel a just
pride in its past record awaken in
them a desire to preserve its old-time
honor and integrity, its social and
political purity and give them some
conception of the great value of their
! birth-right as sons and daughters of
the Green Mountain State, impress
ing upon them that an eyer-inoreas-
ing obligation rests upon them to be
worthy of their heritage"
1t is to be hoped hat this book will
find a place in many homes through
out the State where it should be well
coined alike by teachers and parents.
The author is to be congratulated not
only upon the fact that she has writ
ten a connected, interesting history of
Vermont For Young V%ermonters, -
but also because it might just as ft-
tingly be entitled Vermont For All
Vermonters.

THE WEST SOLID FOR ROOSE.
WELT.

1t is easy to credit the reports from
TIE Chicago Republican branch head
quarters that the poll of the voters
throughout the west shows a heavy
preponderance for Roosevelt. This is
exactly what the country had a right
to expect. The Republicans are
helped in the west in two ways in
this canvass. Roosevelt has a positive
strength throughout the whole of this
locality. Parker is about the weakest
candidate in the western States that
the Democrats could have selected.
When Parker was nominated the
feelings of the western Democrats
we're not taken into consideration at
ell. 1t was assumed that Parker
would be less weak in New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut than the
other aspirants, and he was nominated
on that account. The east dictated
his candidacy.
Chairman W. r. Hobbs OF the San-
sas State committee says Roosevelt
will beat that 90, 600 plurality which
Mckinley got in that State in 1900.
AS the canvass in Kansas had been
virtually finished, his word on this
point is entitled to weight. Gov.
Bailey had a lead in 1902 of almost
twice McKinley's margin of 1900,
which shows that the prospect of an
ld-fashioned Republican majority
III Kansas this year is bright. Roose-
welt ought to Leaf that 40, 900 lead of
1902, espe oially as he has always been
a particular fsvorite in the Sunhower
State. 1t was Kansas which started
the boom for him in the Philadelphia
convention Of 1900 which swept him
against his will. into the vice presi,
dency.
Throughout Nebraska, Colorado,
Iowa, Montana, Oregon, California
and the entire west Roosevelt will not
only poll the full Republican vote,
but he will get the support of many
Democrats. The Democrats, recog-
nizing this condition, have given up
the canvass in the west. Not even
Indiana or Wisconsin are to be con-
tested by the Democrats except in the
most p%erfnnotory way. However, the
Republicans will not be lulled into
any feeling of security by the Demo-
Gratis dependency. The Republicans
will make a canvas in every eastern
State which will recall the days when
many of those States were in serious
doubt. The object is not to win by a
small lead, but to roll up a majority
which will be memorable for its d.
mansions. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

hopelessly from Humors of the Blood,

in doctors, medicines, and all things
human, CUTICURA Soap, Ointment, and
Pills appeal with a force hardly to be
realized. Every hope, every expectation
awakened by them has been more than
fulfilled. More great cures are daily
made by them than by all other Skin

but one dollar, being often sufficient to
cure the most distressing cases of tortur-

itchings, and inflammations of the skin

else fails.

President Roosevelt's purpose to
call a second Hague peace conference
is very c~ommendable. There is no
prospect that the great nations OF the
world will disarm or materially
change their plans relative to arma-
ment or preparedness for war, but
there is much that the conference can
do to further the interests of peace.
International arbitration is as yet in
it's infancy and there is opportunity
for this second C Inference to do a
great work by providing the machinery
for arbitration, Moreover, the ques.
tious which constantly arise. and
which are undecided, as to what is
contraband of wal might we'll be dis
cussed by that body. Perhaps au
agreement would be reached and the
law of c%ontraband of wal be settled in
so far as the points mai have teer
raised thus far are concerned. Per.
haps, also, a look into the future might
be taken and the law laid down SO as
to comprehend most of the points that
are likely to appear 500 as the result
of the industrial development of thu
East. New questions have arisen al
ready in tue present great war. The
United States, through the msster
mind of Secretary Hay, has taken tn,
lead in deciding them. 1t is emin
entity fitting that this country shuulC

The Democratic leaders in New

certain that Parker cannot be elected,
