Brattleboro is reported to have been in
a ferment for week over the expulsion
from the high school of several boys who
had been guilty of numerous breaches
Of discipline eliminating in pulling down
the school flag and putting up a skull
and cross-bones. People who fail to
make their children behave raise alto
gether too much objection toward reason
able discipline in school. In every school
of any size there is sure to be number
of hoodlums among the boys and silly,
deceitful and undertaking girls. The
Banner believes that the old fashioned
ferule treatment was the best ever de-
vised for this class of pupils, but in the
absence of that teachers and superinten-
dents must use the only methods of con-
troll available or the schools will suffer,
to the detriment of the great majority of
pupils who are honest and faithful Ben
nington Banner.

Presidents Indianapolis Speech

Foremost among the speeches made by
al day in various parts of the country
was that of the nations chief executive
at the unwilling of the Lawton statue at
indianapolis, this being the occasion of
his long-awaited deliverence regarding
the future of his railroad policy. The
presidents address made it plain that he
intends to take no backward step in the
policy of federal control of railroad and
other public service corporations which
he had previously mapped out in his
messages and speeches. 1t carries his
policy even a step further by calling for
exclusive federal control of all mail
carrying railroads, even though they
may be wholly within the boundaries of
single State. Nor does he halt at the
much discussed proposition to require a
physical valuation of the railroads of the
country, and he expresses the belief that
while there has been stock watering in
some cases, the total capitalization of the
railroads will not be found to be in excess
of their present actual value. The presi-
dent insists that the criminal managers
of public corporations shall be prosecuted
to the limit of the law, but explains that
this implies no possibility of injury to
honest railroad managers. AS for the in
vesting public, he makes it plain that
there is not the slightest disposition to
undermine existing securities.

Thousands of grateful people are tell
ing every day how Doan's Kidney Pills
cured them of distressing and dangerous
kidney and bladder troubles.
Yet other thousands are suffering every

are either very negligent or very skepti-

dropsy, diabetes, Bright's disease and
other fatal diseases.

canada's Coal Supply.

Only few years ago pessimistic wise
acres were estimating the probable coal
supply of the world and counting on a
shortage in our great-grandchildren's
time. The calculations of these estima
BILE statisticians were excellent in detail
and were wrong only in that the basis on
which they were compiled was absolute
ly false. 1t was assumed that we knew
of practically all the large coal areas of
the universe. Since those croaking fig
ures were given to a nervous public it is
probable that fifty times as much coal
has been located as the amount on which
the woeful estimates were based. Aus
tralia. India, and China have more than
enough to supply their own requirements
for many generations to come, but Can
ada has enough and to spare to supply
the wants of both hemispheres.
Long before the present severe china
tic conditions converted the Polar regions
into the Attic regions, immense forests
flourished on what are now the shores of
Hudson Strait and Baffin Island; these
forests, now large coal-fields, may, even
in our day, supply the steamers that
will, within few years, adopt the Hud-
son Bay route for carrying wheat from
Manitoba to Europe. of Reviews

One of the latest freaks that has missed

that state board" of doctors would
decree was not fit to run in the contest
of life. This is Oslerism in an extreme
form.
This doctor, who rejoices in the SEEM
ingly paradoxical name of christian,
evidently is tired of his Back Bay prac-
tice and wants a position on the proposed
state board. Or, perhaps, he has been
crossed in love or got indigestion. In
the event of his failuer to secure an ap.
pointment on the proposed board, he
would be in gravedanger of having his
own brilliant career shortened, as the
board might determine that the reform
he needed most would be chloroform.
AS the doctor has only got beyond the
three-decade mark on his journey
through this vale of tears, there is still a
chance that he will change his course.
If he doesn't he might gain SO many
proselytes to his Spartan creed that il
wouldn't be safe for the general public,

from pimples to paresis-to be out on

Telephonins Across the Atlantic.

Up to the present time wireless teleg-
raphy has not supplemented or even ap-
preciablY interfered with ocean telegraph
cables. In fact, wireless telegraphy has
even aided submarine cables by bringing
messages to them from vessels at sea.
OF course, it is possible that, with in
creased invention, knowledge and exper-
fence, wireless telegraphy may make
such progress as ultimately to interfere
with ocean wire telegraphy. These two
are essentially future competitors. But
there would be no competition between
wireless telephony and wire telephony
across the ocean. because there is no
ocean wire telephony and no immediate
prospect of its arrival. 1t is more likely

ALetter from Mr.. Copeland.
San Diego. Cal. Cd

San Diego, Cal, 6-4-'07.
When boy used to like to go up on
Mt. Nebo. When ] was in Mddlebury
in 1905, the old hill looked too high to
climb, and l rode up to the Reservoir.
A few weeks ago l went on an excur-
sion to Lakeside. We stopped at LaMesa,
and l rode on hay rack to the top of
Mt. Nebo. and there the ladies of LaMesa,
had ready for us strawberries and cream.
cakes and coffee.
Very recently, have learned that Col.
MuSsey, a brother of Mrs. Edward Rus
sell owns a ranch, and lives at Ramona,
a few miles from LaMesa and since then
have wondered if the California Mt.
Nebo was not namesake of the Mid
dlebury Mt. Nebo as Col. Mussey, when
boy, lived at the Mussey Farm, which
was on the side of Mt Nebo, on the road
to New Haven.
The California Mt. Nebo. is higher
than its sire, in old Middlebury. for how
ever it got its name, it must have been
named after 1t, as this whole country is
comparatively new.
At Ell Cajon, some of us rode through
Ell Cajon Valley on hay rack to Lake
side and very beautiful fertile valley it
is for miles, surmounted by high hills,
we rode through large vineyards where
many carloads of the raisin grape are
shipped as well as olives, and lemons.
Orange groves abound and we could pick
the ripe fruit as we rode along. At
Lakeside there is. a fine large modern
hotel. as it is famous resort for tourists.
If had known at that time that Col.
Mussey lived SO near, would have paid
him visit, as we were boys together
and probably schoolmates. and think l
will take another trip through that beau
tiful country and see him.
