DR.. S. e. DARLING.
One of the Candidates for County
Senator

One OF the candidates LOT SO"h''
Senator.
The Hardwick Gazette prints in Its
last issue biographical sketch OF Dr.
Darling, who is one OF the candidates iol
senator from Caledonia county, and our
readers will be interested in knowing o.
the man and his public service.
Among the names mentioned for our
consideration for county senator stands
the name OF DR.. S. E. Darling.
He is as we'll qualified to hold this res
ponsible position as any of the candi'
dates, for he is man well informed in
state affairs and possesses ability, ex'
cellent judgment, uprightness of character
and unquestioned integrity.
DR.. Darling was born in West Windsor,
w., May 2, 1856; educated in Wood
stock, VT, and at Dartmouth college,
and was graduated from the medical de-
partment of the University Of Vermont
in 1882.
In 1884 be came to Hardwick and
began the practice of medicine. His
great devotion to his work has won for
him the reputation Of being one OF the
best physicians in the state. For the
last seventeen years he has faithfully
discharged the duties OF health officer in
this town. In 1904 Governor Bell ap-
pointed him as member OF the Tuber-
o,,loe,c nv btc ~ =
ment he has with credit performed his
duties, having addressed the people in
regard to tuberculosis in different parts
of the state.
AS citizen he has always shown a
great deal of interest in town affairs,
acting as village trustee in 1908, and as
trustee of Hardwick Academy in the
years 1895-1S98 and 1903 1906.
In the legislature of 1904 he was edito-
rally commented upon as being one Of
the best workers in the House, from this
county. While in the legislature he was
chairman of the Committee on Public
Health, and was later appointed to fill
the vacancy in the ways and Means"
committee caused by the resignation Of
Clark c. Fits, who was made at that
time Attorney General OF the state.
He is brother of the Hon. Charles
II. Darling, former assistant Secretary
of the Navy, and now collector of Gus.
toms at the Port of Burlington.
If elected Senator he will give Caledonia
county creditable standing at Mont
pelier and will provide for the best inter.
ests of her people.

Caledonia Conference.

The Caledonia Conference of Congre.
gational churches held their 72nd an.
nual meeting at McIndoes Falls, Tues.
day. The program was interesting and
instructive and the reports from the
various churches showed great progress
in the past year. Rev. E. G. French OF
Lyndonville preached the sermon of the
morning and in the afternoon a most
profitable hour was spent listening to
Miss Theodore Aumau of Ne
braska and Mrs. L. E. Garfield OF
Academy, S. D. The hour following,
was discussion on the subject What
in my denomination is really essential in
order to carry on Christ's work." which
was responded to by pastors OF various
denominations. The evening session
was full of interest, the topic for discus.
sion being, 1.-THE Desirability OF Fedora.

is due the ladies OF the church who served
such delicious meals to their guests and

manner. Those who attended the con

ITS METHODS ARE TRICKY.

1t is deplorable that the National
Irrigation association is adroitly using
money subscribed to foster irrigation
to distribute printed matter attack
ing President Roosevelt's railroad rate
regulation policy. says the Spokes-
man-Review. The association is scat
tering broadcast in it's envelopes and
under it's stamp copies of a recent edi-
torial page from the ST Paul Pioneer
Press. This page carries two editor
ial articles, one dealing with irrigation
and the other the stereotyped railroad
argument against "any form of rate
regulation that would involve the fix
ing of rates by any governmental ag-
ency and by any other agency rather
than the railroads themselves.
Ostensibly, the purpose is to dis
seminate irrigation literature, but it
does not require half an eye to see
that the real purpose is to place James
j. Hills we'll known views against
rate regulation before the irrigation
interests of the United States.
The railroad article in question is
given a position over the irrigation ar
ticle in part and IN part alongside it,
SO that in marking the irrigation arti-
Gle, the association has in fact adroit-
ly directed the attention of the read
ers to the much longer article against
government control of railroad rates.
The medium chosen for this cum
ming piece of work-the Pioneer Press
lis the personal organ of James j.
Hill. II the National Irrigation asso.
citation wants to destroy it's standing
and it's influence and cut away a large
part of its support. it has only to con-
tinue these tricky tactics.

This man must have hunted along
the banks of the Nile before the time
of the earliest mummied king which
the museums posess-before the time
of Menes, who was supposed to have
ruled Egypt about 1904 B. G.. There
were previous to that time two pre-
historic races, one of the conquerors
and the other the conquered, from
whihc sprang the Egyptian race of
the earliest dynasties. It is with
these remote stocks that this man has
to do. Considering the coalition in
which he was found, it evident that
he was associated with late period
of the new stone age of Egypt. He
was buried in a Enthusiastically
neolithic grave and has neolithic pots
and instruments Of flint about him.
They are like all other neolitic pots
and Clipped flint wepons and knives
found in other parts of the world
The fine, thin flint knives were
placed in the grave as part Of the
funeral ritual. They should be COM
pared with Egyptian f1ints of known
historic age, and they will be found
to be almost identical with them.
Tire is of course no inscription of
any kind on the pots, knives or graves,
all having been made long before the
invention of any written language.
Certain Egyptian documents of great
antiquity mention race called the
Trennennu, who had red hair and
blue eyes. This man has hair of a
destinct auburn shade.

France will nave a presidential cleo
ton next month, but France has not
progressed so far as to entrust tho
selection of a president to a direct
vote of the people. He is chosen by
majority vote of the members of
the national assembly, consisting of
both houses of parliament in Joint
session, much the same as United
States senators are elected The
president of the French republic is
elected for term of seven years and
receives a salary of 100000 a year.
In addition to his salary all his house.
mold expenses are paid by the govern
ment except his food and wines and
he receives an allowance of s12O. 900
for his private expenses, which in
cludes travelling, entertainment and
incidentals. OF course this salary and
the perquistes that go with the of.
ficfie are out of all proportion TO the
duties of the position and should not
be an example for this country. At
the same time it would seem that the
president of the United States should
receive salary of at least SIS 900
year, considering that he is the
chief representative of the greatest
republic and the richest nation in the
world.

FAvORS THE SETTLERS.

While the question Of grazing on the
forest reserves is not burning one
in this region, in some parts Of the
west it seems to have taken very
important phase. In some instances
the lines of these reserves appear to
embrace good deal of agricultural
and grazing lands, more than would
seem essential for the protection of
the timber. Lands near such reserves
being very desirable they are rapidly
being taken up by homesteaders,
thereby crowding out those who have
been using them for grazing purposes.
Under the existing conditions fight
is on for the privileges of the re-
serves by the big outfits. Naturally
President ROOsevelt's sympathies are
with the settlers and small stock
growers in the matter of having access
to such reserves In letter to the
secretary of agriculture. endorsing
that officers policy in the premises.
nc says: "Under the policy you have

used as among the most potent influ-
ences in favor of the actual home
maker, of the man with a few dozen
or few score head of cattle which
he has gathered by his own industry
and is himself caring for. This is
the kind Of man upon whom the fOun-
dation of our citizenship rests, and it
is eminently proper to favor him in
every way"
Possibly if the large outfits had talk
en- their chances and not protested so
strenuously against the restrictions
imposed by the secretary for the priv
ilege of grazing their stock on the re-
serves they would have Jared better.
However, it is only another evidence
of the decline of the range industry,
the transition that is taking place ali
over the west. The area of the open
range country is being rapidly re-
duced through actual settlement and
the day of large individual or COM
pany holdings in cattle is drawing
TO close. Even sheep holdings are
becoming smaller instead of larger
By some it is held to be injurious to
forest reserves to permit the graz
ing of cattle and sheep in large num-
bers the contention being that the
heavy growth of grasses and other
vegetation has tendency to hold the
moisture, thereby replenishing the wa
ter courses and aiding the growth of
timebr. If this is fact, and it seems
reasonable. the small stockman or
settler has another advantage over
the range men in the present contro-
versy over grazing privileges on the
reserves. The small and scattered
bands of the latter would do less dam
age in the way of denuding the reser-
vations and depriving them of mois-
ture.

The Oldest Man in the World,


The oldest known body of any hu.
man being reposes in the Egyptian
gallery of the British museum. All
that is known concerning it is taken
from the inscription VIII CHI was found
on the case containing the mummy
This says: Body of a man who was
buried in a shallow grave followed
out of the sandstone on the west bank
of the Nile in upper Egypt. Before
burial the body was treated with a
preparation of bitumen and was ar
ranged in the posture in which it now
lies, on it's left side, with the hands
before the face and the knees drawn
up nearly on a level with the chin.
The grave, which has been roughly
initiated by the model here exhibited,
was covered with the slabs of unwork-
eu stone, and n it. beside the body,
were disposed flint knives and num-
Der of vases, partly filled with the re-
mains of funeral offerings. The man
probably belonged to fair skinned,
light haired race, which may be re-
garded as one of the aboriginal stocks
OF Egypt, whose settlements were u.s.
ually found on the west bank of the
Nile. The style of the flint instru.
ments found in the grave indicates
that the man lived in the later neo.
lithic period Of Egypt; that is in re.
mote ages, long before the rule of
Menes, the first historical king of
Egypt"
A wandering Arab was the first one

find to a British official, who imme.
deately sent a couple of officers to
gaurd it day and night. The body is
not a mummy of the ordinary Egyp.
tian period. such as Rameses. the
father of Pharaoh of the Exodus. It
was never bound up in linen or cased

such liberal contributions for educa.

as during the year 1905. The benefac.

Salisbury $3.45O,OOO. While Helen
Gould's name does not appear among
those who have given so generously
it is doubtless due to the fact that she
is among the anonymous givers, pre-

In an interview at Helena the Hon.
William Lindsay expressed himself as
In favor of an extra session of the
legislature for the purpose of pass.
ing railroad commission bill. Had
Mr.. Lindsay been elected governor
there would have been no occasion
for an extra session of the legislature
for that purpose. for the pledge of
the party would have been kept and
a commission bill passed early in the
session. 1t would now be a law and
the members of the commission EN-.
powered to correct whatever evils
they found in local railroad rates
throughout the state. The Republican
legislators did all they could do with
in reason to get such a law passed
and it would seem useless to meet
again in special session to thresh oy
er old straw and at the end run III
against the governors veto. About all
the state can do at this time is tc
give President Roosevelt solid support
in his effort to secure federal con
troll of railroad rate making.
