Now it is very necessary that we
should not finch from seeing what is vile

There should be relentless exposure
Of attack upon every evil man.
The liar is no whit better than the
An endemic of indiscriminate assault
upon the character does not good, but
very great harm.
The effort to make financial or political
profit out of the destruction OF character
can only result in public calamity.
NV plea is, not for immunity to, but
for the most unsparing exposure Of the
politician who betrays his trust.
The men with the muck rakes are often

The forces that tend for evil are great

than ever before.
Hysterical sensationalism Is the very
poorest weapon wherewith to fight foi

Recent statistics quoted In these col
umns indicated that Notwithstanding the
boycott on American trade in China our
shipments OF cotton goods and most other
lines this year have been heavier than for
the previous year, but that the one group
OF Chinese imports which showed the
effect of the boycott was that ordinarily
embraced under the head Of mineral oils
Figures cited before the House committee
on foreign AFFAIRS a few days ago show
that apparently the Standard OIL company
is hit the hardest by the boycott. The
company's shipments Of oil to China In
October, November and December, 1904,
aggregated 2,052, 900 cases, while the ship
ments for the same months OF 1905 were

What Became of the Frog.
Mortified News.l

The Brattleboro Reformer's remark to
the effect that Gov. Bell has made one OF
the best of governors, but what he has
been and done in Vermont is no special
recommendation for the post which ne
seeks at Washington, reminds the st.
Johnsbury Republican, one OF the Gov
ernor's political family, OF story OF the
frog that found himself headed for market
in a big can of milk. Instead Of giving
up" says the Republican story teller the
frog exerted himself so violently that the
milk was churned, and when the can was
opened he was found sitting on pat OF
butter ready to hop out into the world
again as good as new" Why not finish
the story? It's brief and tragic. instead
of getting away to safety. the frog proud
ly sat on the lump of butter, bowling and
smirking to the farmers as they passed
by The butter gradually melted away
until suddenly the frog was precipitateo
into the buttermilk and was never able
to get again into sight and notice OF the
people.
