FROM BAR HARBoR.
The Auto Discussion Death of Mrs.
John :. Lyman Dinner to
Miss Root.

MISS kODt.
During the summer the question of
changing the law which exists at present
with regard to the use of automobiles in
the town Of Eden has been agitated to a
considerable extent, and as usual.ther is a
division OF opinion.
There is no denying the fact that the
season which is just drawing TO close
has not been very brilliant nor very pros
porous for many of the business men OF
Bar Harbor. Many reasons are assigned
for the dull business, and several remedies
are suggested, among the latter being the
relaxation OF the restrictions upon the
use of the automobiles in the town.
Under the present law the use of the
horseless carriage is practically prohibited
here, and many people are of the opinion
that IL automobiles were allowed the free
dom here which they enjoy elsewhere, it
would add new life to the resort. The
bulk OF the present summer population,
however, is largely opposed to any change
in the. law.
In an endesvor to ascertain thesyiews of
the summer colony, the Bar Hsrbor Vii
lage Improvement association sent out
large number of reply postals.
At this date over 500 OF these postals
have been returned to the secretary of the
association, IL. NJ. Corners, endorsing the
restriction on automobiles, From the LIS
cottages, which have been occupied this
summer, no signatures have been
obtained.
From this fact can be seen what are the
sentiments OF the cottage people on the
use of automobiles in the town OF Eden.
Many signatures have also been received
from people spending the summer at the
hotels. Many letters have been received
ON the subject, and none OF them favor
the admission of autos. A prominent
physician writes: ~ am here for carriage
driving, attracted by your exclusion of
autos"
Seal Harbor and Northeast Harbor are
giving this matter consideration, and may
ask the next legislature to pass special
law excluding automobiles from their
town.
One of the largest dinners given in Bar
Harbor this season was that Saturday
evening by Mrs. Henry f. Dimock in
honor OF Der guest, Miss Root, daughter
of Secretary of State Elihu Root. The
dinner was given at the Kebo Valley club,
and fiftyfou guests were present, includ-
ing many of the most prominent younger
society people. Miss Root left for her
home Sunday. Mrs. Dimock has invited
Secretary and Mrs. Root to visit her, and
it is possible they will do so this week.
The engagement of Miss Florence Davis,
daughter of w H. Davis and wife, and
Bert II. Young is announced. Ii is under
stood that the wedding will take place
next month. Both young people are resi-
dents of Bar Harbor, where they are
deservedly popular.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FARM.

TNergennes Enterprise and Nermonter.l
The systematic work undertaken by
the state board of agriculture along edu-
Cational lincS the scientific labors of the
tuberculosis commission and the steady
service to the state and the individual
farmer OF the experiment station in Bur-
lington demonstrates that the watchword
Of Vermont is progress. and that of the
most desirable kind. 1t may be thought
that these boards. appointed or confirmed
by the recent farmers Legislature" may
be Of narrow or class character but one
needs only to attend the meetings or read
the bulletins to realize differently.
They are aimed at a better Vermont,
a cleaner Vermont. healthier Vermont,
a more progressive Vermont and that is
the kind of "A Vermont that will appeal
to the visitor. the investor and the citizen.
The natural resources Of the state have
been exploited in this paper so often that
they may be an old story to its readers.
The way to make those resources prof
liable and attractive to capital, at home
or abroad, Is subject that never grows
old.
The best way to get outside people
interested in US is to work what we have
to the best advantage. Vermonts farms
decried and advertised as abandoned, are
practically all peopled today. Hygiene
has helped the farmer TO a better way Of
living. The farmers sons are beginning
to see that the business of filling the
worlds food store-house rs just as import
ant as building locomotives. Farming as
business has been elevated in the last
10 years to a distinctive and important
place.
The results do not all appear as yet.
A thrifty farming community appeals TO
the capitalist. The pick of the labor
market is reared on the farm. A man
with n million to invest could not do bet
ter than to secure a location on Otter
Creek. take advantage of our unequalled
water ways and magnificent power and
build up a thriving industrial community,
the farmer feeding the concern with
stock, labor and the necessities of life.
and the manufacturing end building up
the local and general prosperity.
The amplication of this idea would
do away with much OF the fancied
antipathy between farmers and manu-
facturers. The sense of their mutual in
terdependence would soon bring about
that community interest that makes for
the best good. It's all only a develop
ment of the "get-together" idea, but it's
valuable and well worth cultivating

Progress In the Philippines.

The Philippine commissions annual re-
port just submitted to the President pre-
sents a highly encouraging picture of pro-
gress and good administration. General
conditions in the Philippines have vastly
improved, and American rule is commend
ing itself by its fruits to the people of
the archipelago, The northern islands
seem now completely pacihed and tran
quillized, and ladronism is being every
where stamped out by an efficient and
Jealous constabulary. We continue to
hear of sporadic attacks on American
outposts and scouting parties, but 1t
should be remembered that these out
breaks occur only in the wilder southern
islands like Samar and Mindanao, and in
the Sulu country. In the more populous
and civilized districts the experiment of
American rule shows eminently satisfac-
tory results-results which scarcely SEEM
ed attainable two or three years ago. EX-
Guiding the non-Christian islands in the
southern half of the archipelago, the
Philippines are rapidly attaining that
state OF public order and security deemed
prerequisite to the convocation of a
legislative assembly and the choice of two
commissioners to sit in the United States
Congress
The report Just issued fortifies this
welcome assurance of Increasing stability
in the insular government by exhibiting
in detail the progress made in various
branches of administration. The finances
of the islands have been put on a salts
factory working basis by the introduction
of the now American peso. The old
Spanish and Mexican silver coins, of
huctuating value, have been driven out,
and fixed monetary standard has been
established. The demand for educational
facilities is growing, and the pupils en-
rolled In the schools now number 1853 900,
against $4,000 a year ago. The burden
! some occupation taxes of the Spanish
| regime have been abolished and license

conditions of quietude and order

rhe abusive and anonymous letters
which are being sent to Sheriff Peck of
Windsor county whose painful duty II
is to hang Mrs. Mary Rogers, ought to be
turned over to the postoffice department.
If this was done the offenders would
probably be found and punished by the
government Sheriff Peck simply pur-
poses to do his duty as an official and he
unquestionably has the support Of all good
citizens, regardless of their views on cap
ital punishment -[Northfeld News.
The News might well have included
also the efforts of the same kind, and by
the same class Of offenders, to force Gov.
Bell to take some action in behalf of Mrs.
Rogers The weakest Of all the reasons
that have BEEN advanced for such inter-
ference with the decision OF our courts
is that the state Of Vermont may be
saved from the disgrace of hanging "A
woman--as II one criminal code could be
made for men and another for women!
or as II sex could make the degree of
moral turpitude involved in a heinous
crime less in a woman than In a man,
We have been through with all this be-
fore. as when Mrs. Meaker was hanged
in the Windsor prison in 1888 for one Of
the most diabolical crimes ever committed
i'm the state.
When the facts are examined without
excitement or prejudice It will he found
that none OF this clamor comes from
the sober minded, representative people
OF Vermont There are people of this
kind in Vermont who do not believe i'm
capital punishment and newspapers that
argue strongly against 1t, but they are
not belaboring Gov. Bell to overturn the
laws in Mrs. Rogcrs's case. The outcry
has been raised by sensational papers
outside the state and taken up and re-
pcated by ofiicious or unbalanced persons
here and there who welcome every such
opportunity for self-exploitation So far
as this outside pressure is concerned. IL
is well 10 remember that Vermont is "A
sovereign state, amply capable OF manag-
ing its own affairs Within the state it
is recognized that Mrs. Rogers case has
received the most careful attention by
the courts, and that even "A Vermont
Legislature found no ground on which 10
interfere with the sentence of execution.
When President Roosevelt was governor
of New York In 1899 he went through
exactly the same experience that is now
being inflicted upon Gov. Bell lie was
flooded with'appeals from st ensationalists
and sentimcntalists to interfere with the
death sentence Of woman convicted of

~ now under conviction and sentence.
| Gov. Roosevelt stoutly refused to inter
fcrc with the work of the courts. winning
thereby the respect and approval Of the

by the same line Of conduct Gov. Bell is
now proving his own independence and

government and the American minister

adjustment Of all obligations Of the Dom
inican government, foreign and domestic,
and the conditions Of payments; TO adjust
unreasonable claims. and to determine the
validity and amount Of pending claims.

the little black republics obligations have
been increasing at an alarming rate.
