lands are as much private
grounds as any, though the pub
lie does not view it that way. On
account of the danger involved, it
would be safeguard to prohibit
by special enactment walking on
the railroad track. But such
proposition is always turned
down by the Legislature, reflect
ing the popular view that a per-
son walking the track does no
body any harm unless the engine
hits him, and if it does it's his
own funeral.

Some of the state papers are
urging Editor Frank L. Greene
of the St. Adams Messenger to
be a candidate for the office of
secretary of state to succeed Hon.
Frederick G. Fleetwood who will
retire next year. Editor Greene is
the best known and most popular
newspaper man in the state and
if he should consent to be candi-
date all the others who are itch
ing for the office would undoubt-
eddy withdraw. That he would
make a valuable state official is
not to be doubted but the Banner
hopes that Mr.. Greene will de-
cline the honor. He is doing the
state more good where he is. His
potent pen, fairness and unques-
toned integrity in his editorial
chair make him a state asset that
Vermont can i'll afford to lose.
We sincerely hope that he will
not allow himself to be reduced
to the rank of secretary of state.
Leave that to the lawyers and
politicians and continue to hew
along the line-Bennington Ban
rer.
If Frank Greene wants to be
secretary of state he can bank
npon such united and hearty sup
port from the newspapers of the
state that his candidacy will be
irresistible, and the argument in
his behalf will be made solely
upon the ground of his fitness for
office, but The Phoenix is heartily
IN accord with the sentiments so
well expressed by its good neigh
Dor in Bennington. The place

FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
est. Adams Messenger

If Ketchum's play or any other
legitimate enterprise he may put
forth shall actually expose to
public satisfaction any other par
ties guilty of the wrecking of the
Farmers National Bank at Yer
gennes except the two that have
been punished for it, he will serve
useful purpose at last. The
public in general has never con-
tented itself with the idea that all
the men responsible for the ruin
of that bank were sent to prison.
Nobody will be surprised to learn
that what has UP to this time
been largely mere surmise is an
actual fact.

The attempt to make walking
on the railroad track a misde-
meanor, punishable by a fine al
ways fails. The only protection
railroad have is an action of tres
pass, which amounts to nothing.
Pedestrians continue to make the
railroad track footpath at will.
1t is true they themselves take
the greater risk of danger, but
the railroads bear a share of the
responsibility, always, and it is
not pleasant thing to kill or
MAIN people even when they are
trespassers. When you get down
to the right of it, the railway

On April %, 1871, there 'ded of a
lethargy at lodging in Ropemaker's
alley, Moorfelds," one Daniel Defoe
rebel, secret service agent, bankrupt
hoser and author of the immortal

house at Mitcham where the famous
classic was written is doomed to de-

quires it to devote it's property to
another use than that required in
its charter and is therefore uncon-

THE BEST FERTILIZER FOR
SEEDING DOWN.

Farmers who are looking for
first-class fertilizer for seeding down
in the Summer or Fall will find it
in the following formula. This for
mula was devised by the Director of
the Vermont Experiment Station at
Burlington and published in Bulle-
tin No. 116 of the station. The
amounts named are for one acre:
Raw Ground Bone, 300 to 400 lbs.
Acid Phosphate, 100 to $50 lbs.
Wood Ashes, 300 to 400 lbs.
Muriate of Potash, so to 70 lbs.
The ingredients of this mixture
are all recognized as valuable fer
tilizing agents but with the excep-
ton Of Ashes they heretofore have
been difficult to obtain in the mar
kets of Vermont. This condition
is now changed and all the materials
of the formula-except the ashes,
which the farmer can usually fur
nish himself-can be purchased of
Carroll S. Page, Hyde Park, VT,
who will be pleased to make quo
tations on application.
The Muriate of Potash and Acid
Phosphate he sells are the purest
that can be bought and his raw
Ground Bone is guaranteed to be
absolutely pure and the best the
market affords. The Bone which
he offers is simply the finer parti-
cles that are sifted out of the coarser
GRADUATED Bone that goes into the
manufacture of his Pages Perfected
Poultry Food. 1t should not be
COMPOUNDED with the Bone ordinar-
lily offered by the trade as that has
usually heen steamed or treated
with acids. 1t will be usually found
that practically all the heterogeneous
elements have been removed to
make glue, thus taking away the
most valuable part of the bone.
If you are interested in the matter
of Summer or Fall seeding or Of
Fertilizers for any purpose, write
him for information and prices,

Writing to the Boston Transcript of
scenes in Bolivia, the Hermit Republic,
the Rev. DR.. Francis f. Clark of Chris
tian Endeavor fame, tells of the llamas,
the principal beasts of burden of the
country. "They are little larger than
a donkey" says DR. Clark, land are Of
almost all shades-buff, black, white,
reddish and mixed colors. They par
take of the natures of the camel and
the sheep, for their wool is good for
clothing and their backs are easily
bent to the burden. They will plod
along at the rate of fifteen miles day
for weeks with a load of a hundred
pounds tied to their backs, never ask
ing for a drink of water and content
to board themselves ON the grass and
moss and leaves they can find by the
roadside. Their only vice Is an I'M
pleasant habit of splitting an evil smell
ing saliva when provoked or fright
ened, but even this habit they indulge
in seldom and, on the whole, are among
the most gentle, attractive and beauti-
full creatures | have ever seen. They
are almost as useful as the reindeer
to the Laps, for the flesh is good for
food, the wool for clothing the hide for
footwear and the bones for looms and
spindles. A llama can be bought for
SIS in gold and is well worth the price"

Mortified News
Postmasters who are not dill
gent in business, have just re-
ceived jolt from the department
in Washington. The discovery
has been made that in some Offices
patrons are advised to buy bank
drafts, express money orders, or
to employ other methods of trans
hitting cash than by money
orders or registered letters as it
saves the postmasters and their
clerks considerable labor. This of
course reduces the postal reve-
nues, and Postmaster General
Meyer doesn't propose to stand
for any such laziuess on the part
of his officials. Cases of this kind
which come to the attention of
the department in the future will
result in the offending P. M.
taking a protracted vacation from
his present duties. The postofice
department IS certainly more and
more getting down to a business
basis.

Now, along comes Bishop
Berry, who informs the Christian
Advocate that he ne~er said it;
that is, anything about the Meth
odist discipline. We venture
to say that some Methodists
go to theatres, circuses, horse
races, and some, perhaps, more
than you would think, play cards
and dance. The world has come
to consider that these amuse-
meuts may be INDUCED IN with
out sin, but, of course, having
subscribed to the Methodist dis
c1pline, all these amusements be-
come wrong; that is, if it is
wrong to break the pledged word.
However, we always regret hav-
ing misouoted speaker. But.
being human, these things will
happen even in newspaper offices.

Bratt1eboro seems to have an
aggravated case of school law
1essness to cope with. According.
to the Phoenix this condition
has been fact for several years,
and the teachers have tried to
act on the superstition that it was
superabundance of spirits, so have
not magnified small affairs, and
have taken notice of such pranks
as really interferred with the
work of the school. However,
patience has sometime since
ceased to be a virtue, and few
of the boys have been expelled
for substituting the skull and
cross bones for the Stars and
Stripes on Memorial day. The
strangest1part of it is that the
parents seem to feel that the pun
ishment IS too severe. The fact
is the parents need to look more
closely into the conduct OF their
boys and girls at school, and to
second the efforts of the teachers
in maintaining discipline. Obedi-
ence is a very necessary lesson to
learn early in life. In "the good
old days" the formula used to be
eff you are punished at school,
you will be punished at home
Perhaps, that was little Spar
tan, but the modern method may
be a little too lenient and hap
hazard. Certainly, we must back
the teachers of our school in their
demands for discipline. Matters
which appear inconsequential in
boyhood may take another curse
in later years. ....g. ..ssssz1

Robert E. Lee, their greatest

federate president, who was un-
doubtedly man of fine princi-
pies, and of strong, though mis-
taken, loyalty to what he con-
sidered Gods Cause? The south
loves him and the Lost Cause IN
such a retrospective way that it
does not in the least disturb their
loyalty to this reunited country,

made stronger, leaves them free
to honor their sectional heroes in

Another graduation item going
the rounds is that Vasasr is to be
a pioneer this year and graduate
her learned doctors in simple
muslins instead of making a fea-
ture Of the dressmaker's art.
This puts all the girls upon an
equal footing IN one respect, and
it is a move in the right d1rec-
ton. The expense of a gown is
not the only consideration and
white muslin may be as becom-
ing and dainty as white lace or
white silk. 1t is brains and cul-
ture, not money, that graduation
is supposed to stand for. High
schools are making of graduation
a burden in matters of dress, and
it is well if the colleges begin to
lead in the other direction. We
venture to say that Vassar's
"sweet girl graduates" will not
be the less charming because of
the white muslins.

The testimony of Orchard the
self confessed murderer is a grew
some story. The del1berat1on with
which the death of these men,
unfavora bic to the demands of
the inner circle of the Western
Federation of Miners was set
about, makes one wonder if we
did not have practical anarchy IN
our mine troubles IN Colorado.
1t IS certain, the general public
did not understand or realize the
real situation. If the testimony
is mistaken, it will be bad blow
to unionism, although there is no
doubt but that it will be unfair
to blame the basic principle of
Unionism because of these crimes.
However, it is the way of the
world, and Unionism must stop
these crimes or stand responsible
for them.
