What a horrible antithesis TO

men for POSTMASTER when every
one knows he can be weighed on

The new automobile law is lib
eral enough to satisfy owners of
the machines, although it was
not to the taste of the granger
members Of the legislature. Tween
ty miles an hour is pretty good
speed to make over the roads of
the Green Mountain State, out in
the country, and that rate ought
to more than satisfy automobile
owners, who find it hard to keep
within the limit. Still, some will
undoubtedly try to do a mile a
minute.

Gov. Proctor struck twelve in
his appointment Of John w. Red
mond of Newport, Eli H. Porter
of Wilmington and S. HOLSTER
jackson of Barre as railroad COM
missiOners. 1t would be difficult
to pick a better board. Here are
three men of ability, capacity and
integrity who are in the prime of
manhood. Redmond is a lawyer
of high rank, Porter has proved
himself as a business man and a
legislator, and jackson is a lawyer
of clean-cut energetic type. As
representatives Porter aud, Jack q.
son had a part in framing the
new railroad law. The recogni-
ton of Porter, a Democrat, shows
that the governor was looking for
men Of service instead of paying
political debts in making the APP
pOintments.

The Auditors office put into
operation the new voucher amend
ment of the act relating to
vouchers and to sworn itemized
expense accounts reads as follows :
Section (P. s., Section 373.) All
claimants for compensation for services
rendered the state shall, before pay
ment therefor is made by the state, fur
nish to the auditor of accounts sworn
itemized statements of the time spent,
the date thereof, the services per-
formed, and items of expense incurred,
accompanied by receipted bills as
vouchers for all expenses other than
railroad and steamship tickets, single
telephone, and telegraph charges and
single meals.
While this amendment was in
effect as soon as it was passed the
Auditor did not enforce it liter
ally until the New Year. This act
is specific enough so that any
further talk about laxity in the
Auditors office cannot be INDUCED
in as Mr.. Graham certainly will
enforce it to the letter.

FORWARD MOVEMENT COMMITTEE.
a letter has been issued to the
Congregational churches of the
state regarding the evangelistic
movement and it reached the d.
600 CongregatiOnalists from the
state pulpits last Sunday. A part
of the letter follows:
Never greater than now was
the need of a distinctly evangel-
istic work by all the churches of
our state. For four years your
EYangelistic Forward Movement
Committee has promoted this
work. 1t brought great audiences
in Burlington under the powerful
sermons of G. Campbell Morgan,
it drew hundreds from all parts
Of the state to be inspired by DR..
Dawson of Montpelier and Barre
for the work of winning men to
God, and it labOred effectively
with the Vermont Domestic Mis-
sionary Society in starting its
present Field Worker among the
churches, but it's chief activity has
been from the first, and is, in
bringing out the soul 10jnning
possibilities of the churches and
pastors themselves. To this end,
we believe with growing success,
we have worked to link pastors
and churches together in revival
services.
OF large importance also is the
use of music. The interest of |
Christian students in Middlebury |
and Dartmouth colleges has been
enlisted and a male quartette of
young men from each of these in
is ready to correspond
with churches in regard to sing
ing and assisting in evangeliStic
services. Write to Mr.. W. S.
Maggs of Middlebury, VT. or Mr..
Carl Skinner of Dartmouth, at
Hanover, n. II.
While doing our utmost to bring
out the evangelistic power which
lies in every church we cheerfully
recognize occasions for employing
the accredited evangelist of spir-
Itual power and same method.
Among those who, in our judg-
nent, have recently done conspic-
llously good work in the state are
Messrs. Ralph Gillian and Her
pert L. Gale.

The rescue of L. B. Hicks, the
entOmbed miner at Bakersfield,
Cal, has in it all the elements of
bravery and endurance that man
has ever shown. He was cheerful
and brave although confined in a
cramped position, in a dark, damp
hole under a mountain, with the
dead bodies of five fellow work
men surrounding him, for fifteen
days, hearing the work of the res
cuers as they were striving to save
him, yet with ultimate success al
ways in doubt. We are accus-
toned to expect bravery where
many can look on and applaud;
where some sudden inspiration
or crisis brings out the best there
is in humanity, or where enthu-
siasm lifts man out of himself,
but this bravery with everything
to make a man lose his nerve is
a far finer thing.

Evolution of Chemistry.

The first chemists were the alchem-
lists, who for hundreds Of years vainly
tried to make gold by compromising va
fious chemicals. Chemistry was intro
luced into Spain by the Moors in 1850,
and the Chinese and Egyptians claimed
nm early acquaintance with it. Howev-
er, chemistry was not a science until
was the first to combine the study Of
chemistry with medicine. and since
then its evolution has been rapid

The increasing need of union

The increasing need of union
with other denominations in evan
gelistic effort calls for increasing
Christian tact, unselfishness and
honesty between pastors and
churches of different names. Moth
ing makes a deeper impression
upon the community than it's
Christian forces arrayed in a solid
front for the work of saving men.

Chester Gillette's mother is now
threatening to go onto the lecture
platform in an effort to save her
sons life, by arousing public sym
pathy for him. Such cases as the
Tucker case in Massachusetts and
the Rogers case in Vermont should
show how impotent, and rightly
so, is public sympathy against
facts before the law. 1t is a shame
that every murder case we have
in the east should have such an

The real reason of Sir MOrti-
mer Durand's recall from Wash
ington is not a reflection upon
the Ambassador or upon this
country. 1t is said to be simply
that he did not understand how
to get close to our official circles.
He belongs to the typical English
school of diplomats, with plenty
of dignity and to spare. While
he was moving in dignitied, pom
derous way, the German and
French ambassadors were get
ting into intimate, friendly rela-
lions with the President and con-
sequently were serving their
countries better than the English
man could. The new ambassa-
dor is supposed to understand the
American temperament better
and so he is, to have the post. OF
course, England could not look
on with equanimity and see Ger
many and France get ahead of
her.

The Pope has sent out the word
that there would be no conces-

feeling about the same way and
there may be quite a dead lock or
they may both change their minds

The Christmas tree devastation
will be fruitful topic of discus
sion for sometime and the yet
academic discussion will lead to
the conclusion that it is ecOnomi-
cally a bad policy to cut and sell
small trees for a temporary adj
vantage when they would make
lumber in the years to come. Still
the farmer in practice will cut
and sell at two cents per free
Just the same. The farmer in
most cases is probably short
sighted, but that does not alter
the situation. Until the laws OF
forestry are understood there will
be no Improvement in the branch
of economics. The academic dis
cussion will bring the day nearer
and that is all that it can do, yet
it will have served its cause.
