Would Use Rubber Stamp

The railroad commissioners of YER
mont. who evidently believe in doing
their duty by the state without regard
to outside influences, have just report
ed their findings concerning the coils
ion of two passenger trains near Yer
non. Sept. &c. The report says that,
while the responsibility rests especial.
ly ON the train dispatcher, who failed
TO detect an oversight, the accident
was directly due to failure of young
woman telegrapher to deliver copy
of an order to the conductor and the
engineer of one of the trains; and that
the operators neglect may have re-
suited from the common custom of
railroad men to visit the telegraph
Office and disturb the young woman at
her work. This reprehensible custom,
the commissioners find, has been strict
ly prohibited since the accident, and
the inference is that the prohibition
would have come by order of the COM
missioners II the railroad company
had not taken the initiative. The ac'
cident and its circumstances were
serious of course. Had the collision
occurred in New Hampshire, 1t is be-
lieved our railroad commissioners
would have recommended that the
telegraph operators desk be turned
about N. H., Union.

Christianity and Opium.

Christianity, as we Christians see 1t
is beside the question. What we have
got to reckon with is Christianity as
the Chinaman sees it. In the interest
of Christianity itself. ! am trying in
these articles 10 present the China
mans view of ii, TO show Christianity
as il appears 10 the Chinaman. We
must understand the question before
we can act intelligently. The mis-
sionaries understand ii. Any one of
them will tell you Of his difficulty In
answering the century-old question,
III yours is a Christian people, why
have they forced opium upon u.s."
The missionaries understand, too, the
difficulty of making the Chinaman un-
derstand the spirit of Christianity
when it is taught to them in about one
hundred and fifty forms by represen-
tatives of about one hundred and fifty
religious sects. and the missionaries
are today trying to draw closer togeth-
er. As we observe this great drama,
(which may yet be a tragedy with its
rumbling undertone of bitter memoir
les. of sullen hate of seething revo-
luton, we must try to keep our heads
we must try to put aside prejudices
and see clearly. Tangled though it
may be, it is bound up, willy nilly, with
the opinion drama. through IL all runs
the black thread of opium. For a hun
dred years or so we have been sowing
the wind in China Sooner or later
sooner, very likely-we shall reap
the whilrwind. And If we have kept
our heads and observed carefully the
development of the drama, then, when
the whirlwind comes, beside which
the little unpleasantness Of 1900 will
appear for what ii was, a straw In the
breeze, then We shall perhaps have a
fairly clear idea Of what 1t is all about
not a chaotic, paradoyical Chinese
idea, such as the "sinologues" and the
experts on China will attain to; but
plain, superficial, human idea. And
perhaps we shall understand il as well
as the sinologues.
We cannot tell yet what form the
whirlwind will take. Perhaps 1t will
be a yellow peril in some unthink-
able form now in the germ; perhaps 1t
will resolve into huge sore spot from
which infection will spread through
the world. No one can say. We can
be sure of nothing more than that Chi
ma is stirring in her poisoned slumbers
is stretching out her mighty arms, is
struggling to awaken and get to her
feet. Into her sluggish mind are peep
| ing these strange new ideas of educa-
ton. of science, of liberty of national
self respect China is the worlds
greatest problem. Samuel Merwin in

A. V. N. G. Comparison

The Vermont National Guard is
again in the public eye Three com
panies in the regiment at the annual
June inspection failed to come up to
the standard and are to be given an
other chance the latter part of this
month. Back in the old days which
many of us remember it wasn't neces-
sary to put any of the companies on
probation for several months after the
first inspection in order to give them
a chance to make good, according to
military requirements. There was at
that time sufficient of the military
spirit among the young men in the
state to not only keep the ranks full
but to make each command efficient.
This was before the service was i'm
proved (?) by the elimination of some
of the so-called undesirable ele-
ment, and the establishment of per
manent camp ground. 1t is a question
If the "old guard" would not have
proved as efficient fighters had oppor-
tunity presented itself, as the more
moral and up-to-date soldier boys Of
today-Vergennes Vermonter.

He sits under his own vine and
fig tree, undisturbed by the
maddening noise of the great city.
Banks fail, railroads go into tie

towns collapse, all business stag
mates, but the farmer can snap
his fingers at these things. He
Is monarch of all he surveys on
his broad acre. And in bringing
up his boys and girls to follow in
the straight and narrow pathway
he gives to the nation It's best

tent with his lot he Is lacking
