The statue of Frederick the Great is
to arrive in Washington In September
and soon afterwards, it is expected, it
will be disposed of and set up some-
where. Probably this country never

Socrates called beauty o short-lived

gift of nature, Ovid favor OF the
gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty
was better than all the letters of rec

none Of these distinguished authorities
has left us even hint. Of how beauty
is to be perpetuated, or the ravages of
age and disease defed. Time soon
blends the lily and the rose into the
pallor of age, disease dots the fair face
with cutaneous designations and

the glory of eyes, teeth, and lips yet
beautiful by defacing the complexion,
and fills the sensitive soul with agony.
If such be the unhappy condition Of

years run riot, covering the skin with

THE GOTERNORSHIP
Some Expressions of the Press.
Decided DeBoer Sentiment.

The first consideration in connection
with the choice of candidate for
Governor is the selection OF that man
who can give Vermont the most able
and efficient and creditable admins
tration Other things being equal it
is right and fitting that Vermont Re-
publIcans should select as their stand
ard bearer that man whose nomination
will mean the most enthusi astic cam
paign and the largest possible major
ity. The combination of qualifica-
tions is demanded by consideration of
State politics as we'll as by the part
which Vermont always plays in con-
nection with presidential campaigns
For any candidate, or the friends of
any candidate, to ask the Republicans
of Vermont to ignore these consider
ations would be selfshness of the most
extreme character. For the Republ-
cans of Vermont to be satisfied with
anything less than the best candidate
would be deserving of rebuke at the
polls and 70 invite such rebuke would

The recent attempt to misconstrue
the meaning Of Mr.. DeBoer's letter of

states that he would not permit the
use OF his name as candidate, is hardly

Mr.. DeBoer stated publicly last De-
cember that he was not candidate,
but in the same letter said that in case
he were nominated he would gladly
and proudly respond to the call. -
This, we are assured by his personal
friends, is his position today. He WON'T
turn over his hand to secure the
nomination, but nobody would esteem
such an honor, freely offered, more
highly than he, and his acceptance is
a matter beyond all question. If the
Republicans of Vermont want Mr.. De-

may be assured that while he never

result that she commissioned a second portrait
Of herself. and then third? Whistler had his
setbacks, undoubtedly. but Nj. Duret realizes
what every one Is bound to realize who looks
dispassionately into the matter. that Whistler
was not feeble individual. pathetically waiting
through long years OF neglect to bask at last in
the sunshine of public favor, but a competent
and cheerful warrior. undIsmayed by the ups
and downs so characteristic of the artistic
career. and never for even the fraction of
second presenting to the world the aspect OF
figure of pathos. 1t Is a long. busy and thor
oughly effective life that is surveyed in this
volume. and the survey is worthy of its sub
ject; it leaves Whistler his fame undistorted by
foolish panegyric. as it leaves him his dignity
unsmirched by vulgar patronage.
