Home Culture Clubs.

The town of Northampton is model
New England settlement. Some is years
ago, Mr.. George W. Gable founded what
are known as Home Culture clubs to the
number of IS, the purpose being to bring
together groups OF persons oil all classes
for practical education and study in all
lines. No distinction of sex. color or creed
is made in these clubs, which support as
many as 200 classes and are intended to
build the true foundations of the state.
Northampton is also the pioneer COM
munity in the country to give the dra-
matte art home of it's own. 1t has a
beautiful theatre owned and managed by
the city, the gift of a philanthropist, and
is perhaps the only establishment of its
kind in the nation entirely controlled by
the people.
Now comes Mr.. Carnegie with gift oil
$4,000 to make possible the erection Of
an administration building for the Home
Culture clubs. The Home Culture club is
peculiarly New England institution.
1t is the best foundation for true demo.
cracy. 1t brings the masses together,
irrespective OF birth, wealth, or even
education, organizes them into classes for
study, and provides them with the means
of recreation and improvement.
At the Home Culture clubs the students

r1r. Roosevelt and a Third Term.

Harper's Weekly, the New York World,
and now the Hearst syndicate ofpapers
have predicted that the people OF the
United States would insist on having
President Roosevelt for another term.
Mr.. Bryan has urged his democratic
friends to support the President in his
fight against the railroads, and now the
Presidents uncle has said in public in
terview that his nephew would undoubt-
eddy be a candidate, in spite of his pledge
to the contrary, If he could secure the en-
dorsement OF both the republican and
democratic parties. The latter is not
likely to happen as the age OF miracles is
past, but the last election showed that
no President has ever been nearer the
people since Lincoln's day. 1t is also true
that no President in recent years has
been so cordially hated by politicians or
so persistently snubbed by the oligarchy
officially known as the Senate. While
the Senate undoubtedly performs dis
tinct service as a safety valve in legisla-
ton, they have continually blocked the
wheels of progress in the Roosevelt
administration, deliberately and with
malice aforethought." Hardly treaty
that Secretary Hay ever prepared has
been ratified, and because the Senate
thought the President was exceeding his
constitutional limitations the arbitration
treaties were so amended that they were
rendered useless and pending negotiations
with foreign countries ended.
The people everywhere are tremendous
ly loyal IN their support of the man
that stands for Square dear' and who
makes good" instead ofplaying politics.
The Senate and the corporate interests
may be arrayed against him, as they I'M
doubtedly are, but President is elected
by the American people and the vote OF
the humblest citizen counts as much as Sen.
ator Clark's or Mr.. Rockefeller's. The
movement for his reelection is neither
spasmodic nor sporadic and the country
needs him at the head for several years
more to fight the aggressions of the rail
roads and the trusts, as well as the AFRO
gance of the Senate. He is the only mar
that can stop this growing movement TO-
another term and in the meantime it will
be we'll to keep youreye on Mr.Roosevet

mortgage, without fraud, but with know
ledge of the mortgagor's insolvency,
and contemplated bankruptcy, and with
the intent to make the lien available for
the payment of the mortgage debt before
other complications by way of attach

not amount to preference voidable by

before that time.

Mr.. Hay as Peacemaker.

Has it ever occurred to you that Secre-
tary Hays European trip may not be en-
tirely for his health? Has it ever occurred
to you that he has silently stole away to
arrange for peace between the two great
nations now at war? He is recognized
in diplomatic circles the world around as
our greatest statesman, and some for
eign diplomats are kind enough to call
him the greatest statesman now living.
1t was through his initiative that the
neutrality Of China has been preserved in
this struggle and it is highly proper that
he should arrange the terms OF peace.
Aside from the popular sympathy with
the Japanese the United States has been
the only neutral country of any of the
world powers. England has long beer
hostile to Russia and before the wal
commenced had arranged an alliance
with Japan. France had a similar ALI
ance with Russia and the Partisan bank
ers have financed the war. A secret
understanding has existed between
Emperor William and Car Nicholas
since the war began and Russian troops
no longer guard the German frontier
while German spies have delivered Russian
revolutionists living in German cite
over to the dreaded Russian secret police
The United States is therefore the onl,
neutral power and it has in Secretar,
Hay man splendidly qualified for del
icate and difficult position. II our cor
lecture is correct and he succeeds in hi
mission, it will not only be the crownin
act of a brilliant diplomatic career, but
will rebound to the everlasting credit {

anniversaryin the calf skin business. Few
men under sixty celebrate golden
wedding in business, and few are more
deserving of congratulations upon their

achieved, as he was neither born great

Current Press Comment.
What Local Option Means

With only 81 towns and cities in Ver-
mont voting for license, and with some
of these so small in population that it
will be impraticable for them to issue
licenses, Vermont as state is pretty
close to the prohibition class. The duty
OF prohibitionists is apparently not to at
tempt to repeal the present law, but to
bring the people OF certain communities
up to the point where, through local
option, they will reject the license feat.

Pages life; we hope it will be many
years before his obituary is written. But
in the stress of daily life it is good to
pause and think of the success Vermont
captain of industry has achieved, not by
any comb ination of interests or modern
trust methods, but single-handed and
alone. Today he is at the head OF the
largest business of its kind in the world
and we rejoice in his success. And
whether in business or in statecraft, in
both of which spheres Of activity he has
attained great distinction, he is always
the same honest, earnest and lovable
christian man.
