BURLINGTON, VT, April 10.-Troop

five Of the troop have been arrested,
and twenty-five more are being sought
by a detail of soldiers.
The troop numbers fifty-five men.
and is commanded by First Lieut..
George r. Bowman The trouble has
been brewing for months, the men
complaining that Lieutenant Bowman
is a martinez and overworks them to
such an extent that they cannot stand
it longer.
Trouble on Pay Day.
The first outward evidence of disor
der appeared after pay day this month,
when twenty-five men, gathered at the
quarters, made insulting remarks
about Lieutenant Bowman as he was
passing. They were arrested. The re-
mainder of the mutineers are in this
city and Winooski. They declare they
will not return to the post and serve
under Lieutenant Bowman.
The city is full Of soldiers tonight,
and many arrests have been made by
both civil and military officers. The
local jail is crowded and many men are

OF the arrests is for a more serious Of
tense than breach of the peace or in
toxication.
One of Lieutenant Bowmans nom
commissioned officers, who was speak
ing in defense of his superior in a sa-
loon last night, was seriously injured
by one of numerous beer glasses
thrown at him. The men in this affair
escaped. 1t was only a forerunner Of
the disturbances, which continued
throughout the night and today, al
though none resulted seriously.
Troop I in Revolt.
Troop l Of the same regiment is also
in difficulty. Many men are absent,
and those who are in quarters are COM
planning Of their commander, First
Lieut.. Ben. Lear, jr Five men have
deserted, telling comrades that they
go because they fear unjust punish
ment from court-martials for minor
offenses.
Soldiers from other troops created a
disturbance on an electric car going to
the post. Each car is guarded by "a
non-commissioned officer, who is de-
tailed to preserve order. Corporal

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, April 10.-Now

AND SAVED HIS LIFE

LEADVILLE, Col. April 10.-Al
Foster, of Twin Lakes, had a miracu-
lous escape from death in snowslide
He had occasion 90 go to his claims in
Lost Canyon, ard while making the as

several acres in extent, begin to move.
Escape was impossible.
Foster kicked off his snow shoes, and
when the avalanche struck him he WAS
carried down the hillside for distance
of about forty feet Then he grasped
the limb Of a great tree. which broke.
He clutched another one, however, to

Rogers says he will bring suit against

Many State mutual fire insurance COM

CHIVALROUS1

The New. York firm controlling the
newstands tnt the New York subway
employs girls instead of boys. The
hours Of work are twelve daily. Be-,
cause Of the long hours there has been
considerable agitation in favor Of the.
employment Of boys.
A member of the firm asked the
reasons for employing girls, stated one
was that girls were more civil to cus-s
toners that boys, and the other was
pure chivalry on the firms part.
The child labor employer can now,
add chivalry to philanthropy and the
other noble promptings which induce
him, to employ little girls.-Ex.

product to oppose the men who are
going to buy 1t. He wants to fix the
pay of labor himself, yet, at the same
time, he opposes any rights of the
other fellow, labor in this case, to
fix the price Of his product. In other
words, Mr.. Parry wants to get all he
can, the best price possible for his
buggies, but he denies that right to
labor.
Mr.. Parry has done more to injure
employing forces in this country than
he has to benefit it. He has damaged
the National Association Of Manufac-
turers beyond immediate repair. The
writer has had occasion to talk to
hundreds OF employers of labor, ex-
tending over perior of several years
particularly. Men he has talked with
have stated labor and capital are
twins. They say themselves one or
the other can't oppose either with per-
manent success. Mr.. Parry thinks
capital can-which is the abuse of
power. One Of the largest institutions
of its particular kind in the world, To-
Gated in Illinois, the executive head of
to Chicago, stated that his company
Is not member of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers and had re-
fused to join. This simply illustrates
that Mr.. Parry's doctrine absolutely
meets with disapproval with many
meets with the disapproval of many
great leaders who are not members
on account of Mr.. Parry.
Labor is not organized for power.
but betterment and intelligence La
Dor cannot expect to Immediately ac-
quire prestige as successful as that
OF the interests that are now opposing
1t. The reason Is obvious. Labor is a
trained physical genius of developed
skill along mechanical lines. The op-
ponents Of labor are trained in the art
of good bargaining, devised means
and methods Of shrewd practice de-
veloped to higher degree, aided by
great leadership and invariably a
trained executive experience. This ex-
per1ence many times is aplied in the
direction Of concealed wealth for tax
alton Durposs.
Mr.. Parry is the passing of a char
acter that has really helped labor. He
has shown labor where to strengthen.
This, labor ahas observed. which. in it's
organized state, seeks unity of the
masses who toll, not for influence
backed by power, but from a sense OF
uplifting character where the man. in
telligently led. can obey, strive and
seek betterment, to no exclusion of his
brother, and industriously aid himself
along good lines that time and good
leadership will prove.-Ex. a. i.

WA|TEWAsH OF MORTON !.
CALLS FOR CRITICISM.
New York American Believes
President Roosevelt is
Dishonoring Himself.
Holds That He Cannot Consist
emily Attempt to Clear
Morton Charges.

New York, June 29.-The whitewash-
ing of Paul Morton, secretary Of the
navy, by President Roosevelt, is call
ing for severe criticism in some por-
tions Of the country. The New York
American in an editorial has the fol-
lowing to say:
The opening of the summer season
brings to President Roosevelt a fine
bunch of new honorary degrees from
colleges. He cannot help that, and in
functory honors.
But by his own actions he is heap
ing dishonors on his own head. Not in
all his public life has he so swiftly
piled up discreditable actions as in the
last two weeks.
The presidents action in the Loomis-
Bowen squabble was clearly Influenced
by personal friendship. That Bowen
should go out of diplomatic life was
clear enough; that Loomis should have
been retained is explainable only on
the ground of grossest favoritism.
1t is a wonder that there was white
wash enough left in the presidential
bucket, after decorating Loomis, to
cover the confessed rebater, Paul Nor
ton. But upon that person the presi-
dent laid 1t with lavish hand Ac-
cording to the Rooseveltaian theory, to
confess a violation Of the law is better
and more honorable than to observe
the law. So this frankly insolent vio-
lator of the interstate commerce law
is given godspeed by the president Of
the United States as he goes to take
control of the great insurance COM
pany holding the savings of 100000
thrifty Americans.
What has become of the Theodore
Roosevelt of the old days? What sort
of treatment would a patrolman of the
New York police force have had by
the reform" commissioner in 1895 If
he had acted as Morton or Loomis did?
Standing by your friends is good
quality But an executive charged with
the government of a great people can
overdo it.

country OF tremendous possibilities, has
been to cause them to forget the same
elementary virtues in their business
life, however careful they may attempt
to adhere to them In stheir religious,
family or social relations.
So, in a spirit of optimistic rather
than pessimisttc analysis we loook at
the recognized evils in our national life
and trace, If we may, their beginnings.
Danger No. 1.-Pretense.
The early temptation that comes to
an educated man or woman is to seem
| rather than to be.
1t may not seem very wrong to you
and me to pose, and yet the poser is
an incipient fraud.
It is passing human counterfeit ION
the public. You and are not only
the coin, but the manufacturers of the
coin, and If we keep what we attempt
to get for it-an opinion of the public
that we are better than what we are
we are chargeable with theft.
Are we not attempting every day to
cover up our deficiencies with patch
of pretense rather than by hard work
endeavoring to eliminate them?
Neither men nor women can persist
and continue in an attempt to mislead
the public without misleading them
selves, and the moment they acquire
the power to dull their sensibilities, to
stife their consciences by presuming,
assuming, and finally believing that
they are not, they have practically ac-
complished their own self-destruction
by passing counterfeits upon them
selves
The pretender becomes a borrower
and the borrower becomes thief.
Danger No. &-The Easy Dollar.
Wealth, to most people, is something
that is sought for largely because
other people seem to enjoy and prize
it, not because of a conviction of indt-
vidual need of 1t. 1t is the adoption
of another's standard or criterion of
happiness. It is the attempt to put on
another mans coat because it seems to
look we'll on the other man. know
of lawyers, great legal minds, who
would be happy If they were merely
practicing law, but their clients have
money so they want money. They have
caught the disease and they are not
quiring riches;: they sacrifice every
other aim and purpose in life, they be-
come and are rich, but that is not
what they want to be, or what they
are fitted to be-
And what is the disease they have
caught? It is the malady of making
money easily. Mark the word easily
We have heard for years that the
American people worship the dollar. I
tell you they are led astray by the
"easy dollar" by the ease with which
great wealth is often accumulated
1t is the desire for unearned wealth
which sidetracks educated men and
women fro mtheir real careers.
1 believe that not twenty per cent of
the young men and young women in
this audience are meant Il to be rich.
They are meant to be great physicians
perhaps, or great lawyers or great
teachers, or great painters; but when
they go out into the world probably
