There is not clear enough realization of
what credit is. That is at least one les.
son to be learned from the panic. Every
honest man is careful of his neighbor's
reputation. He will do nothing, say
nothing, to hurt it. Every man possess
ed of bank account, every man who
has surplus funds, every man who has
anything to do with banking, industrial
or railroad systems, is a factor in the
maintenance of credit And the lesson
of it all is that cooperation is necessary,
and an understanding realization of the
fact that credit is vital, sensitive, sus.
remedied by cooperation. The men who
are at the heads of the great financial in
situations represent force, an intellect
a power in the commercial and material
progress of a nation. They can be made
to see wherein they are wrong, they can
be compelled to alter their methods with.
out seriously disturbing credit or the
barometer of business. These are some
of the lessons of the panic.
When credit totters it brings myriad
troubles with it. 1t becomes not merely
a problem of business, but problem OF
humanity. The sufferers are not the big
m, n; rather is it the wage Garner, the
man on salary who earns little and
saves little. 1t is for him that men oc
cup, ing position of stewardship have 9
trust. and there should be perfect conf
d,nce between them. If there is not, 9
dangerous, menacing condition, exists

Vermont is not surprised that Charles
A. ProHty's fitness for distinctively eff
cient service on the interstate commerce
commission and his record of efficiency
there, have led to his denomination. Nor
are they surprised that, with this oppor-
tunity for peculiarly national service
open to him, he has not seriously consid-
cred suggestions that he be a candidate
for Congress from the second district. If
he were to go to Congress from Vermont,
the State would hold her own, anyway,
and there might be occasion to expect an
even more brilliant usefulness than some
men have accomplished there before
him.-St Adams Messenger.

Various Matters from Various
Standpoi nts.
AN ILL TEMPERED ATTACK.

AS the self-appointed critic of the Proc
tor family and Herewith the conservator
of some political state preferments for
other families, the Rutland Herald has
undoubtedly filled an important niche in
journalistic life of Vermont. Much of its
effort ha been effectually put forward
and some of it has been properly ground
ed, receiving appreciation according as it
merited. But The Herald's strained eff
fort of yesterday to discredit Senator
Redfield Proctor in connection with the
gift of the state sanitarium for tubercul-
osis at Pittsford was both poorly con-
ceived and in miserably poor taste. SEN
ator Proctor gives quarter of a million
to erect and endow sanitarium for care
of the states sick; whereupon The Her
aid turns about and delivers itself of a
most scathing personal attack, based on
the assumption that he and his family
have received everything of the largesses
of the state and have given in return one
sanitarium and lone life of selfsacrific.
ing devotion? p. Whatever feeling
of personal vindictiveness The Herald
may have against the Proctors, it BELT
tied itself exceedingly in the ill-tempered
exhibition of it in yesterdays issue

wit and hum0r are such elemental,
fundamental things that 1t has al
ways been found difficult to analyze
them. Upon some points, however,
those who have essayed this puzzling
task agree, for they all hold that wit
Is an intellectual, humor an emotional,
quality; that wit IS a perception of re-
semblance and humor a perception Of
contrast, of discrepancy, Of incongru-
ity. The incongruity Is that which
arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory and practice, between
promise and performance, and perhaps
It might be added that It Is always or
almost always moral incongruity. In
the case both of wit and humor there
Is also pleasurable surprise, gentle
shock which accompanies our percep-
ton of the hitherto unsupported re-
semblance or incongruity. A New
England farmer was once describing
In the presence of a very humane per-
son the great age and debility of a
horse that he formerly owned and
used. "You ought to have killed him. =
interrupted the humane person indig-
nantly. "Well,'' drawled the farmer,

looked on him as one Of the great
forces Of the globe. They recognized
q native king. In the senate of the
United States he looked an emperor In
that council. Even the majestic Cal
houn seemed common compared with
him. Clay looked vulgar and Van
Buren, but fox. What mouth he
had! 1t was lions mouth, yet there
was q sweet grandeur in the smile and
woman's softness when he would.
What brow it was! What eyes-lfke

volcanic fires-g great passions and great
thoughts, "The front of Jove himself;
