Vermont the Place to Breed MOrgans.
The Morgan horse does not need to be
All he wants is more ex-
tensive breeding and little more adver-
Using, so that the world at large may
know of his excellences, and an exhi-
bition like that at the Valley Fair is the
best kind of an advertisement and edu-
Gator. We want a few more Battells,
Hoffmans, Chambers and Hindses, who
realize that the Morgan is the most de-
sirable all.round horse bred and who
will not be looking for mere speed. The
old-time Morgans showed so much speed
that breeders began devoting their at
tention too much to raising horses for
track purposes. But there are today
Morgan sons and daughters which re.
tain the characteristics of their noted
ancestors, and by right handling the
breed may be perpetuated in its full
strength and glory. And the place to
breed them is right here in Vermont,
where pure water and the rich verdure
of the hills will bring them to the per-
fiction of equine grace i Brattleboro

Chinese Exclusion.
The discreet opinion seems to prevail
| at Washington that offence is given to
| China not so much by the letter of our
exclusion law as by the spirit in which it
is sometimes interpreted and applied.
II applied with reason, discrimination
and courtesy. it would probably be no
more offensive to the Chinese than some
Chinese and Japanese laws are to Ameri-
cans. But the best law in the world
might become offensive if interpreted and
enforced in an offensive manner 1t is a
good old maxim of our common law
that man is assumed to be innocent
until he is proved to be guilty. 1t is not
for him to prove his innocence, but for
the prosecutor to prove his guilt. 1t is
not, therefore, for the Chinaman coming
to this country to prove that his repre-
} sensations are truthful, and that he is en-
{ titled to admission, but it is for the in
spectors to prove the contrary; and TN
til they do prove the contrary they
i should treat the man with respect
