A correspondent of the New York
Times, commenting on the presidents
recent utterances upon the duties of
motherhood and bread winning eff
forts" wonders why in his admiration
for the real strife of life, Mr.. Roose-
welt does not take his son from Groton
school and set him In a public class
room: and whether he would give
his daughter in marriage to man of
very moderate income, so that they
may, like children of stout heart"
strive and succeed. The public
which warmly admires most of Mr..
Roosevelt's virile sermons designed
for its uplifting, is obliged to admit
that they should be practically ap-
piled only in modified form. It is
not the duty Of every wife to be
mother nor is it the duty of every
man to be a breadwinner. Circum-
stances, and the ability to do a thing
well and properly must determine
ones duty in either case.

the London Chronicle, decline an I'M

ing fashion:

tors we swear that we have never
seen so superb masterpiece. His

Some state newspapers seem to re-
sent Selectman James +. Hooker's at
titude on the question Of consump-
tives' hospital for Brattleboro, but
Mr. Hooker is right. Scientifically
considered, no danger need threaten
a community in the presence of such
an institution, but the instructive
dread and shrinking from the disease
which the general public feels, would
inevitably cause people to shun the
neighborhood where tuberculosis pa
tients were congregated The place
for state tuberculosis hospital is not
in any of the large villages or cities
of Vermont, but in some more Sc
cIuded rural location on high ground,
above the moister air of the valleys.

An Important Demonstration.
[St. Adams Mesenger.1

1t is part of the unexpected ex-
perience under the license provision
of the new liquor law that the much
dreaded ''open bars do less harm
than the second class liquor stores.
1t is found to be safer to keep the
bottle on the other side OF the bar and
deal the customer one. drink at a
time from its contents, than to give
him the whole bottle full and tell him
to do as he pleases with it. 1t is
simply a case where theory goes
down before practice.

The financial situation of the poor
beef trust is not so bad, after all, if a
New York man figures correctly. He
says that Mr.. Garfield's 2 per cent
does not mean per cent year, since
the trust receives cash returns from
cattle investments in just three weeks.
Multiplying 2 per cent by II -3, we
have the yearly profit, 342-3 per cent.
Apologies to the beef trust should be
pigeon holed to await developments.

II Certainly Is.
IMorrisyiIla Naxvg I

IL Is very evident that many towns,
especially those In the rural districts,
are opposed to license of any kind
and will vote no license at every OBJ
portunity While the larger towns
may favor license, they do not hesi-
tate to shift to no license whenever
they have reason to believe that the
law Is not being fully carried out.
There Is this that can be said In ia
vor of the present law and that Is II

have 1t. After all. isn't that quite

The apparent complication preSente
by the impending conditions-no Ii
cense in Brattleboro and license RICH
across the river, on the island
while nominally different from an.
complication of the liquor question
that has heretofore manifested itself
is not actually So During the spas
modic endorsements of state prohibi'
ton in Brattleboro, liquor whether
licensed or not, was generally to be
found on the other side of the river
This island license was in existence
when the town Of Brattleboro voted
no license and there was no reason
beyond the say-so of those to whom
the wish was father to the thought,
for believing that the license would
not be renewed as long as Mr.. Gale
and Mr.. Ellis cared to apply for it,
and observe the conditions contin-
gent.
1t is true that when this license
was pending before the New Hamp-
shire commissioners, certain influen-
tial citizens made an effort to pre-
vent its being granted, but without
success. What the New Hampshire
commissioners thought of the inter-
ference from Brattleboro we do not
know; but the request, coming from
a town which had just voted to IL
cense liquor selling, was apparently
inconsistent, and there was no great
injustice in it's refusal At this time,
Brattleboro having voted no license,
those who are active in this matter
maintain that there is not only good
and sufficient reason for renewing
the request, but that there is consid-
cradle ground for hope that it will be
granted. Whatever may be the tech
nical aspects of the question, there
saloon on the island is to all intents
and purposes Brattleboro saloon.
This is an inevitable consequence of
any law that permits state or town
to govern itself Independently of its
neighbors.
The conditions at Hinsdale are no |
different, because this town is in an
other state than it would be If the
town were in Vermont, and had voted
license when Brattleboro voted no IL
cense. Mr.. Gale suggests that we
have as good reason to request the
town of Guilford to forego the issuing
Of licenses as we have to request the
state of New Hampshire to forego
that privilege. On the other hand,
we are not as near the Guilford edge
of the town of Brattleboro as we are
to the Hinsdale edge.
Without injustice to anyone it may
frankly be admitted that the place on
the island since the New Hampshire
law went into effect, has been con-
Quoted with due regard to decency
and the provisions of the law under
which it is operated.
Brattleboro, however, has voted no
license. The Reformer opposed this
course and still believes that it was
an unwise step, taken mostly because

AMERICAN FALLS, IDA.

Work is progressing on the canals of
the American Falls Irrigation company
with all possible haste and satisfactory
progress being made. This was the
first irrigation enterprise to be in
augurated under the Carey act. but for
various reasons the work was per-
mitted to drag by the company until
after its reorganization and the present
mana cement took charge.
Mr.. F. A. Sweet of the company
says: Our canal is 20 feet wide at the
bottom, 80 feet at the water line and
is carrying six feet of water, being
next to the largest waterway in the
country. 1t is 40 miles long and the
main canal is practically completed.
We are pushing the work on the prin-
cipal lateraIs as fast as possible. A
few months ago we had 10000 acres
ready for settlement, but are not MAX
ing any effort TO colonize the land for
the reason that an additional 10000
acres will be ready to open this fall
when the whole tract will be colonized.
Our immigration agents are now in
the field preparing to run excursions
to the land as soon as we are ready to
receive them. Our settlements will be
made principally from the central
western states, Kansas, Nebraska,

states from that portion of the coun-

tied the site of a proposed power plant
near this place, which will cost in the
neighborhood of $1,000 The works
will furnish about 1000 horse power,

500 feet in length, the water may be
