FIFTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Twenty Delegates From Vermont
Ate nded Silver Bsy Meetings.

The nth annual conference of the
Young Peoples Missionary movement
closed its sessions at Silver Bay, N. Y,
on Sunday. Five hundred carefully Sc
lected delegates from the New England
States, 20 of whom were from Vermont,
attended. These delegates, from the Is
leading denominations, represented the
young people of the churches and united
In this inter-denominational movement
for the purpose of enlisting the young
people in more intelligent interest in
worldwide missionary work.
The presiding officer was Harry Wade

COLLEGE TRAMPS.
Two Young Men Covering 1900
Miles on Foot Visit Middlebury.

Two stalwart young college students,
Louis B. Cohen of Columbia university
and Albert Kamholtz of New York uni
versity, arrived in town on Fri
day from New York city en- route to
Quebec. The trip including the return
to the metropolis is 1900 miles, and they
expect to cover every mile of the ground
on foot. They spread their tent on
Chapman hill, remaining over Sunday
and left town on Monday.
Beating the hard, hard gravel for
pleasure and exercise is to say the least
novel way of spending a vacation and
from the story told by the boys it is a
beneficial and enjoyable one. In speak
ing of the long shoe-route journey Cohen
and Kamholtz said:
1--WE decided early to make the trip
and on the third we left New York CITY,
carrying shelter tent, blankets and
other necessary paraphernalia. We took
the Connecticut valley route to Bellows
Falls and came over the mountains to this
town. After visiting the interesting sights
in this section of the state, including the
marble mill at Middlebury, we will
continue on to Montreal and Quebec.
On the return we will 60 via. Malone, N.
Y, the Adirondacks, Lake George and
the Valley of the Hudson river and ex-
pect to reach the metropolis early in Sep
TENDER.
"a notable fact in our journey is that
our average course of about 10 miles
does not fatigue us in the least and when
we break camp after a good sleep in some
field adjoining farm house or village we
are as fresh as when we started. There
are many interesting experiences con-
nected with travelling on foot through
the land and we are both of the opinion
that our vacation will be well spent.
"Since the start we have gained in
weight amazingly and our general health
shows signs of marked improvement.
1.-The roads we have encountered have
been for the most part very poor, handi-
Gaping us and marring the enjoyment
somewhat, but we are more than repaid
by the kind hospitality of the farmers
along the line, who, while they express
their curiosity at our strange vacation,
are most considerate and generous"
The boys wore suits similar to those of
United States infantrymen and bad or
fair weather is alike to them.

Building continues active and materials

Semi-annual statements are now suffi-
GENTLY complete to make it certain that
the fret half of 1906 was the most pros
porous six-month period in the nations
history and unless heavy cancellations
occur, the last half of the year will estab-
lished still higher record.
Contracts come forward freely in the
iron and steel industry and footwear fac
tories are receiving orders for delivery in
February while the textile mills report
that purchasers have ceased efforts to Sc
cure more attractive terms.
Complaints on inadequate labor supply
are universal.
Aside from little ttoo much rain in
some States the weeks crop news is en-
couraging and grain WILSON be out of

Buyers are arriving in the primary
markets in large numbers placing orders

are low in all positions.

RAILROAD WRECK
Hudson River Engine PIunges In
to the River

The Pacific express of the N. Y. c. e.
H. R..railroad leaving New York city at
$50 Sunday night ran into a landslide
near Fishkill Landing about 1870, pre-
cipitating the locomotive into the river
and killing the engineer, fireman and
one baggageman. The heavy rain had
washed the earth down upon the track
and when the engine struck the obstruc-
ton it turned turtle and went into the
river.
The baggage car, which was the first
of the train, was thrown up against the
embankment, the parting of the couplings
preventing it following in the path of
the locomotive. The heavy trucks of
the baggage car and first coach sank in
to the pile of earth and brought the re-
mainder of the train to sudden stop. The
passengers Were thrown violently about
the cars, many of them suffering cuts
and bruises. Some of the passengers are
believed to be injured seriously.

As Good as the Best Of U.s.

An exchange reckons that one reason
why there is such scarcity of help is
that farmers are not considered as good
as other folks" Such reasoning falls fiat
in state like Vermont. In this state
where agriculture forms one of the prin-
cipal means of livelihood, the farmer is
not looked down upon. Instead he is
considered every whit as good as the
rest of us. The farmer may not don his
white linen and kid gloves to do the or
binary work of his routine, any more
than the banker wears overals and frock
in his counting room.
The clothes do not make the man
here in Vermont. 1t is the mans charac-
ter and ability that make him.
Again, far mingis not necessarily the
work of the unlettered and the I'M
skilled. Any man almost could conduct
farm after fashion, but it takes brain
work to run farm successfully. Many
of the farmers of Vermont are we'll ed
ucated, judging from the standard of
book learning. Vastly more of them are
educated in the hard school of expert
ence-both in private and civic affairs
and well educated at that. The bulk of
the men in public life in Vermont today
come from the farm. The legislature of
the state is very largely composed of
farmers, and in spite of the little knocks
that are thrown at the average Vermont
legislature, it compares favorably with
those of sister states. No, Vermont far
mers as class have brains and they are
looked to as men of hard-headed sense.
And men of sense are never "looked
down upon" by those who have sense.
The exchange will have to look for
some other reason why farm help is scarce
in Vermont. 1t certainly is not because
of the fact that the farmer is not consid-
cred as good as the rest of u.s.

Notwithstanding the encouragement
to the farming interests in some portions
of the country on account of the unusual

JOHN w. KERN ON GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP
Peoria, Ill.

John w. Kern, the well known demo
crat of Indianapolis and well known
to democrats throughout the country,
has written for the Indianapolis Star
the following statement:
Bryan seems to be the most puzzl-
ing problems ever tackled by the news
paper men of the country. Ever since
1S96-a period of ten years-the re-
publican and so-called Independent
Journalists of America have been bus
lily engaged in writing him down and
putting him out of business. The car
toonists have pictured him in every
ridiculous attitude imaginable. The
jokesmiths have worn themselves to
a fragile making jokes at his ex-
pense; the big guns of the editorial
rooms have written thousands of col
umns of the choicest English, holding
him up to public execration as col
ossal fraud and a political charlatan
of the worst kind. Yet at the end of
this ten years of unceasing fusillade
all were compelled to admit that w.
j. Bryan is one of the foremost men
in all the world and one of America S
greatest citizens. But they justified
their years of yillification by saying
the Bryan of today was not the Bryan
of 1S96-that he had improved vastly
with age and experience and had
grown so conservative as to be no
longer offensive to the great business
| interests, etc.
Bryan returned to America and, by
his New York speech and his vigorous
pronouncement that men financially
interested in privilege-seelling corpor
atoms ought to have no part in demo
cratic party management, convinced
everybody concerned that he was the
same old Bryan-improved by age and
travel, but not improved in the way

"DREAMER" AND "OBJECTOR"

| have read an account of one of
Senator Beveridge's speeches in the

that President Roosevelt does things.
Yes I suppose the president does do
things. | notice he has been trying
to carry out some of Mr.. Bryan'S
dreams and people praise him more
for that than most anything else that
he has done. When l say people
do not mean corporation people.
When a republican says people they
generally mean those few people who
control the wealth of the country |
do not think they regard ordinary
human beings as people
| Mr.. Beveridge also says that Mr..
Bryan is an objector. Well to look
at 1t from his standpoint | suppose
that means that he is bad man;
Mr.. Beveridge is an objector also, but
of different kind He objects to pun
