Boston's WonderIan n d

Typical of Bigger, Better, Buster
Boston" is the founding of Wonderland,
Greater Bostun's new million dollar park
at Revere Beach, where the work of
construction goes energetically on, this
week showing a remarkable progress in
every department. Most noticeable of
all in this connection are the rapid rise
and marvellous growth of the Japanese
Village and the Thompson Scenic Rail-
way. All the work on the japanese
Village is done by a regiment of little
brown men from the Orient, who were
imported to this country by the japanese
Construction Company, of which Mr..
F. U. Shichi is manager, for that pur-
pose alone. Apropos of the construction
work at Wonderland Park, it is inter-
esting and instructive to know that all
the buildings are not only substantial
as to material besides being well lighted
and well ventilated, but that they have
excellent protection against fire. Very
little has been published as yet regarding
the electric lighting plant for Wonder
land, but it will be one of the finest
ever Installed at summer park in this
country and will doubtless do as much
to advertise the beauties and grandeur
of the place as anything connected there

Porter and His Strinq.

A correspondent of the American
Horse Breeder singing himself "Horse
Lover" and under the caption of ''Notes
From Middlebury. Vt.," says: Middle
bury, VT, is one of the greatest little
horse towns on the map. 1t has an ex-
cellent halfmile track equipped with the
best stables that can be found on any
track in the State J. w. Porter, born
horseman and experienced trainer,
formerly of Ticonderoga, N. Y, is located
here and is very popular among the best
class of horsemen
Mr.. Porter now has II horses in his
string and is expecting several more in
April. One of the recent additions to
his stable is a handsome stallion by
Lynne Bel (2.104; dam full sister of
Gladys (2.23U, by Jersey Prince (2.27N.
The latter was by Kentucky Prince and
his dam was the famous old Emeline
dam of nine trotters in the 2. 80 list, by
Henry B. Patchen, son of George NJ.
Patchen C2.23t).
Lynne Bel (2.10d) was by ST. Bel C. a4t)
son of Electioneer and Beautiful Bells
(2.29t), and his dam, Vashti, was by
Bayonne Prince (2.2lA, very handsome
son of Kentucky Prince. The second
dam of Lynne Bel was by Rolls Mann
brino Pilot, whose sire was Marnbrino
Chief / whose dam was Juliet by Pilot
Jr. 12.
Mr.. Porter has one of the best equipped
and best conducted training stables in
Vermont. Owners who have horses in
his care bring their wives with them
when visiting his stables and are always
treated courteously, for his grooms are
not addicted to the use of obscene or
offensive language. Interest in good
horses is increasing in this section of
Vermont and the outlook is very promis.
ing for prosperous season for horse
men,"

ROAD MAKING
DISCUSSED BY STATE CON-
MISSIONER GATES.
Meeting Held at the Opera House
Tuesday. Attendance
Iiuht,


Doubtless the unfavorable weather on
Tuesday deferred many of the road COM
missioners of this county from attending
the meeting of such officials which was
held at the opera house in this town.
However some twenty five commits
sioners and selectmen assembled to listen
to the talk given by State Highway Com
missioner Gates upon the construction
of permanent roads. The meeting was
wholly informal and those present dis
cussed the various modes of road build
ing in vogue in Vermont.
Commissioner Gates devoted consider
able time to explaining what he deemed
the proper way of building and main
tanning an earth road AS the majority
of the highways of this State are con-
structed of earth rather than of more
permanent material the State commits
sioner confined himself largely to such
type of construction and explained what
the State highway department wished
to have done and the proper way to
secure such results as the department
desired, giving in detail what he deemed
the best in the method of culvert build
ing, grading and surfacing.
While the audience that greeted Mr.
Gates was small in numbers it lacked
not in enthusiasm and the discussion
that followed his remarks was partici-
pated in by many.

SCHOOL MEETING
ONLY OF TEN MINUTES DU-
RATION.
Old Board of Officers Reelected.
Tax of SIS Cents Voted.


On Tuesday evening the annual school
m Getting of District No. was held in the
town hall and drew only a small at
tendance there being no business of
special Importance to be transacted. It
required but ten minutes to re-elect
Moderator John E. Weeks, Clerk j. M.
Burke, Treasurer Charles E. Pinney,
Auditor, A. X. Carr and the old board of
men constituting the Prudential COM
mittee. A tax of 55 cents on the dollar
was voted as per the recommendation of
the auditor this being sufficient, it is
believed, to reduce the Indebtedness of
the district $1,000 and meet the expenses
as estimated for the current year. DIR.
E. H. Martin speaking for the prudential
committee, stated that the total indebted
ness of the district was S4, ,493.33
The report of the auditor which en-
braces the reports of the Treasurer, Pru-
dental Committee and the principal Of
the graded schools was accepted and
adopted
William Jackson and M. K. Moore in
nominating and seconding the nomina-
tions of the old board of officers, spoke
briefly in commendation of the work of
the Prudential committee and the
general condition of our schools.
The members of the prudential COM
mittee are: Ira II. Lafeur, the Rev. j.
D. Shannon, DIR. D. c. Noble, Allan

ployers say, the resources of that sec
tion can not be adequately developed
They could, the south's business in
terests declare, give employment to
millions of additional laborers if they
had them. Therefore, the removal of
millions of their present workers
would precipitate industrial collapse
in the south. The remedy proposed
b ythe wild man of the Atlanta News
'is folly The real remedy is: Treat
black and white culprits alike. Let
the law get hold fthem. All over
the country, but especially in the
SOUTH the courts may be relied upon
to refuse stays or delays for the black
offender. No one ever heard of a
judge or jury anywhere in the United
States freeing a guilty black man.
For the guilty negro whatever his Of
fense, punishment by the courts is al
ways swift and adequate. Such mad
propositions as that of John Temple
Graves reveal a spirit which is large
ly responsible for the outbreaks of
savagery like that which has just
made Atlanta a disgrace to American
cities.

AtIanta's Shame.

The shocking and sanguinary riot
at Atlanta. Ga, in which number
of persons were killed and a score or
more wounded, is the alarming climax
of a series of riots that have occurred
in the United States in the past year.
Something must be done TO ED this
crime No one has sympathy to ex-
press for the black fends whose beast
" assaults upon whit women have
fired. mobs to frenzy, but under the
sacred laws of this land, no crime
however beastly or vicious, warrants
the perpetra ton of another crime, and
certainly no one can deny that the
slaughter of men. be they white or
black. innocent or guilty, and no mat
ter how depraved, is murder. The in
territorial taking of human life. be that
life the life of a white man or a black
man. unless by process of law, is muir
der. and the shooting down of men,
even if the slain are black rapists. is
murder.
This frequent resort to mob law, in
creasing in frequency in fact, makes
it imperative that two things be done.
1. Let the law in due. process pro
vide swfter punishment for the
rapist. Let the trial in such cases
be thorough, but without red ;ape, be
absolutely impartial, but without de-
lay, and let the guilty be made an
example to others who might be
tempted to repeat the fiehdish Of
fenses such as inspire lynch law.
2. There should be more fearless
prosecution of the participants in
lynchings. These riots are led as a
rule. by irresponsible persons who
create panic by their unwise agitation,
and who ipcite riot. No mercy should
be shown such persons. If the mobs
they lead commit murder they are the
murderers and should be punished as
such The law so directs.
That the south does not encourage
or countenance such laXity of law,
and that they are opposed to this out
lawry is shown byb the action taken
in calling one thousand troops to At
lanta and threatening martial law if
any more breaks are made by the
mob The proper spirit is further
shown by sentiment expressed at the
mass meeting held yesterday at which
The forum. [volume] (Springfield, Ill.) 1904-192?, 1906-09-29

the speakers declared this killing OF
blacks and whites was a reflection
upon the city, state and nation, and
further demanding that the law must
be enforced, even if bullets fired un-
der official Instructions are necessary
to such law enforcement.
Mob law is anarchy
Illinois Daily Register.
The people of Atlanta have taken
the proper steps, show they were. as
usual, too slow. We agree with Gov.
Terrell and others, that, big black
headlines and extra editions of papers
incite "infurated mobs." Atlanta has
brought a shame on herself which a
decade cannot eradicate. The white
citizens see the detriment brought At
lanta, Ga, and the nation. These oc-
currences retard the south's growth
to an extent Observation-Disclosures bar
barOus acts prevent foreign immigra-
ton and cause negro emigration.
Negroes were cruelty ibGtcheref and
two whites were killed Have we time
to look after the protection of Cuba
or to extend sympathy to sufferers
in distant lands? The above, taken
from our morning contemporary, is
timely and shows that at last our
white friends see that lawlessness
must not be allowed to reign.
We commend the city authorities of
Atlanta in their determination to close
the low dives run by colored and
white persons, and we hope they will
keep them closed, if. as they say,
most of the crime originates from
these low dives; then. again, the
white people have the law, make the
law and are the law, and are there
fore the Indirect cause. because they
allow these dives" to operate; they
also allow negroes and whites tOlOaf.
They wink at gaming and they allow
the most disreputabIe houses of i'll
fame to operate. Atlanta is a great
city, dotted with schools, colleges and
niversities-withn her confines dwell
much brain, and the wise men are
there; but, ah! alas, will they allow
the anarchists to rule them? VIII
mobs go free and leave the city ac-
cursed? VIII right be overridden and
tramplepd under foot of wrong? VIII
law be subservient to outlawry? Will
knowledge be submissive to ignO-
rance? VIII God be dominated by the
devil? We pause to see.

negroes? The innocent negroes who
are overwhelmingly in the preponder-
ance in their race have lust as good
right to demand the deportation of
the whites q s the whites have of the
negroes. In the south, as in the north
the black man is as old an inhabitant
IS the white. He was here as early as
the white man, and the white man is
responsible fer his being here The
original negro immigrants did not
come here of their own will Thev
were carried here by white men right
t the beginning of the settlement of
his country, and they have been here
ever since Their title to the name and
to the rights of Americans is as valid
that which the white man holds.
Suppose that the 10000, 600 negroes
should consent to be deported, and
that tract Of idle country large
'nough for the subsistence of such an
immense colony could be found on
some of the worlds continents or on
the islands of the sea, where would
the thousands of vessels and the bill
lions of dollars necessary for the de
portation be found? This Is an aspect
of the matter which Mr.. Graves did
not think about. The Atlanta editor
is a man of impulse and emotion, like
his friend Bryan. When the Globe
Democrat and other papers pointed
out that the purchase of the railroads
by the government would increase the
interest st-bearing debt to $4,000 900, 900,
which is eighteen times the present
bonded debt Of the government, Bryan
answered, as he did at Atlanta the
other day. THAT is a point of detail
We will talk about details afterward." -"
1t is so With the editor of the Atlanta
News. The billions of dollars for the
negroes deportation, the finding of a
place to which to send them, and the
gaining of their consent to be removed,
were all matters of detail, which could
be postponed to the sweet by and by.
Finally. what would the sane, solid,
conservative people of the south say
