Full of Intimate knowledge.

The sketch of Mr.. Rockefeller occupies
two pages of the report of the commission
er of education for 1903. 1t is not SO long
some of the other sketches, but 1t is full
of intimate biography. 1t was written and
edited by Gen. John Eaton, former commits
sioner of education, who was an intimate
personal friend of Mr.. Rockefeller. He and
Mr.. Rockefeller were Schoolmates in their
boyhood and grew up together. The friend
ship formed in youth continued during
their lives, and the result was that when
Mr. Rockefellers name was reached in the
list of those who had given money to ed
ucatiop who were to be included in the
sketches Gen. Baton was prepared to say
many things of the Oil magnate that have
not heretofore appeared in print.
The office of the Secretary of the In
terror has no copies of the report for dis
tribution, and all requests therefore have
been referred to the bureau of education.
1t is not probable that any of them will
be favorably considered, except such as
might come from schools and libraries.

Not Published Separately.

Neither this chapter nor the sketch of
any one of the persons named has been
published separately, the statements
sent out imply, nor Is it contemplated to
do so. The entire edition of the report of
the commissioner of education goes to edu-
cational institutions, including high schools
and public libraries, and therefore the Sec
rotary of the Interior has no copies for
distribution.
The announcement of the published state
ment that the Interior Department is is
suing biographical sketch of John d.
Rockefeller has resulted in the receipt of
hundreds of letters from admirers of the
oil king who want copies of the book. The
letters come from every section of the
country and include, many of them. eu-
logistic praise of Mr.. Rockefeller and his
methods One of the correspondents says
that he has always been an admirer of Mr..
Rockefeller, and that his daughter is so
affected when she reads any statements
that tend to disparage him that "she wishes
she was Mr.. Rockefeller's daughter
The letters received at the department
are not confined to any class or condition
of society. The Standard Oil Company has
written from its New York office for
copy, and many letters have been received
from sources equally as high in the finan-
cial world.

Montpelier wakes enthusiastic over
the centennial anniversary OF the estab.
lishment of the capital of the state at
that place, and special meeting has
unanimously voted to spend ten thousand
dollars in celebrating. When Montpelier
gets started in the direction of public
spirit there's generally something doing,
and October promises to be glorious
day in that city. The capital city has a
right to be proud of the attractiveness
with which nature has endowed it, and
of it's reputation as "hustlng., hamlet"
in a business way. There are some
things it might sensibly insist on to make
itself more convenient of access to the
general public, and there are other things
it might do to make the general public
love it more during legislative sessions.
But these things will probably be brought
to pass in time. The whole state will
want to help Montpelier celebrate next
October, and there is certainly nothing
cheap or niggardly about the way she
has started in with her centennial pro.
gram.

The State Board of Agriculture has
just issued, by tssecretary, Geo. Aitken of
Woodstock, a handsomely illustrated
pamphlet that will strengthen the faith
of Vermonters in the beauty and at
Effectiveness oftheir state and will demon
strate to outsiders looking for farm
homes that Vermont affords numerous
opportunities for the securing OF such.
A goodly portion OF the pamphlet is
given up to descriptive list OF farms for
sale, with views OF field, meadow, brook,
forest and mountain surroundings. The
members OF the board do not admit that
there are any abandoned" farms in the
state, in the "sadder" Interpretation oil
that word, and they believe that the
large element looking toward Vermont
not only for summer residence, but for
permanent investment, can find either, OF
both, within our borders and this publ
cation is issued, in part, to convince
these people of the excellent opportunities
which Vermont presents.

moved by the exploding of thirty-six
tons OF dynamite. Congress had appro-

had been in progress for three years,
and people from the surrounding country
focked in to see the explosion and ex-
perience the earthquake tremor that was
expected to follow the turning or OF the

The entire country has been shocked
by fearful disaster on board the battle
ship Bennington, In the harbor Of San
Diego, Cal. The bursting of one OF the
ships boilers, last Friday morning spread
death and destruction all about, killing
almost three-score OF the crew and injur-
ing nearly one hundred. Commander
Young was ashore at the time OF the
accident. 1t is said that the interior
machinery of the ship was so tangled up
by the explosion as to render it practi.
cally total wreck. An inquiry will be
made to locate the responsibility if
possible, but no official finding can atone
for the desolation wrought.

No citizen of Caledonia county can
point with pride to the long list Of liquor
cases before the term of county court just
closed. 1t is gratifying to note that
States Attorney Thompson was able to
corral these law-breakers so successfully;
it is anything but gratifying to know
that so fragrant disregard of existing
statute could obtain in any town OF our
county. There is altogether too much of
this sort of thing everywhere, in spite of
the most earnest effort to suppress it.
Hardwick appears to have suffered
especially In this direction; but now that
the better element there has succeeded in
putting the law to 20 large group OF
those who have been disgracing the
town, we believe 1t will maintain a firm
hold and insist on cleaner state OF
things.

China has sho wn her hand In connection
with the proposed peace negotiations.
She has notified Russia and Japan, and
the neutral powers, that she will not
recognize any arrangement about Man
churia concerning which she has not
been consulted beforehand. She wants
that sectioA OF county returned to her
control, from which it was ruthlessly
wrested by Russia, and indicates that she
will hold the Manchurian door open to
the commerce of the world. On the face
1t, there doesn't seem to be anything
unreasonable about China's attitude
and il she sticks to her text it will be up

The meeting OF the peace plenipoten-

with deep interest. The result OF the

evidently determined not to yield too
much. He will not admit that Russia 10

continued defeats at the hands Of the
Japanese, and, judging from his publish
ed utterances. he will stoutly resist
Japan's demands if they are not OF
moderate nature. M. White was not in
favor of war at the outset. He opposed
it vigorously, and by reason Of this fact
it has been thought in some quarters
that he would not be over, particular in
treating for peace. This view, however,
is hardly justified by more recent develop
ments. The spirit in which Russia will

Water Meters for 81. J ohnsbusy.

The committee appointed to investi
gate the water question at St. Johnsbury
unanimously recommended the use of
meters with any system that the village
might put in. Every business man, every
committee thatinvestigates this question
will reach the same conclusion. Without
meters more water is wasted every day
in every town than is used. Put In
water meters and every one is placed on
the same footing and pays for just the
water actually used. If any taker Is
careless; neglects to keep all faucets
packed tight; let's water run when not
needed, he will pay for it. 1t Is the only
fair, equitable way to. adjust the rate on
any municipal water system. Treat
everyone alike. Pay for what you get.
Burlington and other enterprising and
up o-date cities have found this to be
