DEMOCRATS ON COMMISSIONS, ETC.
On general principles, it is a sugges-
ton well made by the vergsnnes Enter
prise that Governor Prouty might with
propriety have appointed Democrat to
the Champlain Tercentenary commission.
Then, again, II may be possible that all
the men considered by the governor to
be the best fitted for the work on the
commission happened to be Republicans
In such event, it would not have been
feasible to appoint Democrat simply
because he was Democrat. We do not
know the inner workings OF the COVER
nor's mind in the matter. However the
suggestion of the Verrnnes contempt
rary might be borne in mind for future
guidance. Although completely out Of
power, the Democrats Of Vermont are
nevertheless quite numerous percent
age of the states voters, and as such
deserve recognition. A Republican gov
ernor might grant them that recognition
now and then and still not imperil his
party or be considered ungrateful to that
party.

A VERMONT NEWSPAPER CHANGE.
The Morrisvlle Messenger makes an.
nouncement Of its transfer to f. NJ
Crosby Of Vergennes, the change to
become effective on the first of Decem-
Der. The new proprietor of the Morris
vile contemporary has been assistant
editor of the Vergennes Enterprise and
Vermonter and knows the practical side
of newspaper making as well, so that he
assumes his new work with preparation.
Editor Crosby has also served as alder
man and bookkeeper in the Ancient City.
In announcing the change The Messenger
says: Although a young man, his (Mr.
Crosby's) experience has been ample in
an the ways demand will fall upon him,
and the business he viii assume will be
turned over to him under a belief that
it could not be transferred into better
hands,"
With such a generous introduction
does the retiring editor Of The Messenger
relinquish his work, and it is sufficient
to cause other Vermont editors to extend
a cordial greeting to the newcomer. New
erthefess, Editor Lamberton, who has so
capably edited the paper for several
years, has not announced his own inten-

Reasoning Upon Immortality.

We have been treated of late to quite
succession of opinion from people of
the highest intellectual attainments,
that man does not exist beyond the
grave. Ex-Governor Daniel H. Chamber
lain, in the ripeness of his years, wrote
down for posthumous publication his dis
belief in the immortality of the soul.
Not long since Goodwin Smith, viewing
the matter from the light Of SO years
of experience with life and 60 of con
spicuous intellectual acl mR ement, ex-
pressed himself in terms Of the pro
foundest agnosticism. And only within
three or four weeks it is made public,
what his intimate friends had long
known, that Charles Eliot Norton had
no faith in the theory OF immortality
and no particular longing to cultivate
such a faith.
On the other hand, ex-senator William
T.. Chandler of New Hampshire talks to
a farmers meeting of his belief not only
in Immortality but transmigration and
an expanding existence in one or more
of tho nunlbefless worlds which evident
ly circle through the universe.
Mr.. Chambers opinion in such mat
ter is as good as that of the man of
affairs and that of the great scholars
who have been mentioned. And before
them all may perhaps be preferred, as a
guide to truth, the simple faith of the
lowly workwoman who counts her beads
and mutters her prayers as she tolls
faithfully and hopefully along; for even
science is beginning to recognize the ex-
istence of a mind or being below that of
the conscious mind-a subliminal self
which becomes the more deeply hidden
as the conscious mind develops, which
seems 70 be stronger in women than in
men. which is guided by intuitions and
not BY the reason, and which may be the
larger and more essential part Of the in
dividusl being, representative Of the di-
vine spirit in man. For has ii not been
written--and may It not have been with
this consideration in mind that The
lord Of heaven and earth hast hid
these things from the wise and prudent
and hast revealed them unto babe" -

THINGS WORTH REPORTING"

THINGS WOhIh 'hEPOhllN
We have received the following com
munieation:
MY dear sir:
rs it true that you do not think the
women of sufficient Importance to re-
port'S
Some day newspapers will give us
equal advantages with other public sub
jects. If / have been misinformed I
shall be sorry I did not write YOU a
note of thanks instead Of this,
"Yours for justice,
Annette W. Parmelee, Enosburg Falls"
We suspect that what Mrs. Parmelee
is driving at is the report of her address
before the Senate and House judiciary
committees in defense of women's sui
frage recently And we beg leave to
state that while The Times did not re-
port her speech unanimously, it did de-
vote double the space to it that a GER
tain contemporary did, whtrb report
Mrs. Parmelee holds up to us as exemp
larry. We are, therefore, forced to the
conclusion that Mrs. Parmelee is misin-
formed. Incidentally, The Times may
state that it has confidence in the dis
corning powers of its legislative CORE
spondent and trusts him to give to each
subject that space which the subject
merits.

Those who failed of that privilege may in the lapse of years cease to be proud of the home of their fathers. even though that home may have been in Montgomery, but we cannot imagine a born Bostonese ever falling to be proud of 1t. Yet, as we have said. there is now so much of scattering as well as commingling of races that men may gradually lose their pride of race. as The Globe in- inmates. This is changeable and changing world we are living in. For all that, we cannot imagine any white man not being proud of his birthplace and his race. whatever else he may forget.

Mir. Cleveiand's Message. | Eoittahurc T3aaf

When Grover Cleveland writes, the American people read. and fortunate 1t Is that the Democratic party mum bers him within It's fold. His style is as familiar as 1t is unique, not the too much praised short verbalism, but rather than delft use of phrases that condenses whole sentences and an en- tire line of thought. Here was a preg- nant paragraph from his letter to the National Democratic Club of New York:
 Our country needs conservatism, re- cuperatson from nervous prostration, reinstatement of constitutional observ- ance, buoyant but none the less safe and prudent AmericaRism scrupulous care of every person and every inter- est entitled to care and square dear that means exact and honest equality before the law and under constitutlonal guaranty. These things are still among the possessions of true Democracy, and Democratic patriotism sincerity and wisdom demand that our party. in th.s time of need should unitedly omer them to our countrymen."
 There Is the repudiation of fads and foibles which absorb some minds to the exclusion of deep study and patient examination of practical suggestions shallow remedies proposed at the cost of dssrupting the constitution. He locates the real status of nerve exhaus- tion, and nobody hesitates in identify ing the series of acts and harrAngues which produced it. No search for the enervating causes is suggested to tn 6 honest reader except in the policies that have had control for sleven years. The country has suffered from palaver and brass band accompaniments while executing the law. While MT. Cieye- land thinks the common veal higher satisfaction than mere party triumph, yet he as biuntly announces that the cure of current evils>should be en- trusted to the Democracy.

WORDS NOT FOLLOWED BY RE-
 SUITS PROMISED,

They are about to enter upon anoth- . CT campaign in Georgia as this is the year for election of Governor, and such officials as are chosen by the people. During Governor Smiths campaign he made many declarations as to what he would do If elected, and it so happens to use a common phrase that he ''has not made good" While the editor of The Atlanta Contribution was a can didate against him in 1905, that fact cannot break the force of utterances which The Constitution is reminding him of. For instance 1t quotes Gov ernor smith as saying at Douslsss- vile:
 I believe tbat with a proper GpSer- not bound to the roads, at least SS,00o,- coo to $5,000,000 will be saved for the pockets of the plain people.
 As Governor Smith is the Governor he must consider that Georgia has "a proper Governor" and as he has a Rail- road Commission to his own liking and largely of his own making, Il must be a commission that '1s not bound to. the roads," Under these eir- cumstances it is very natural for the people to want to know when, where and how that ss,e00.ooo to s5.o0o.OOG which the Governor says was being taken from the people by the railroads has been saved to them since his ac- cession to office. He promised 1t and he ought to make his declarations good for in the same speech from which the above extract is taken he declared:
 declare to you that if am elected Governor 1 will bring these railroad rates down or you will hear from m' in no uncertain terms.
 These things have a familiar sound tc the people of Alabama. And what has been the result. A crop of agitation and legislation and litigation which bodes no good to the public. In add.' tion we have had the installation fir office of men who prey upon the preju' dices of the people. Reason. however is sure to reassert itself.

PRIDE OF RACE.

The Boston e obe wonders if the an cient pride of race "is not gradually fading away before the levelling in- fiuence of modern cosmopolitan life. |" It instances the old story of the Irish man who, when asked what he would rather be if he were not an Irishman, replied, Sure. if I were not Irish I'd be ashamed" There spoke the true son of Erin, and the story reminds us of an old song beginning thus:.
 The savage loves his native shore.
 Tho rude the soil and chill the air; We'll then may Erin's sons adore
 Their Isle which Nature formed so
 fair.
 It has always been one of the strik- ing characteristics of Irishmen that they remain loyal to their native land wherever they may roam. It would be difficult to find any civilized spot on the globe where there will not be found Irish people or their descend ants They help to fight the battles of all nations, for they are born fighters, the Irish are, and enjoy a fight, feast or frolic with equal zest. At home they fought for freedom and home rule. If there were no outside enemies to fight they fought each other. In later days, as there were no wars at home they joined other armies and fought out the quarrels of Others-quarrels fin which they had no part. and about the cause of which they neither knew nor cared.
 And always they are loyal to the side they join. They may join one side merely as a matter of convenience, or because they believe that side is right, or only because they love fight ing for it's own sake, but whatever side they espouse is theirs and they remain faithful to it. In our own great war they were found on both sides. If the North had its Meagher we had our Cleburne and they were typical of the many thousands who wore the blue or the gray and were true to it till the last gun was fired. And, again always, they retained in their hearts their love for "Erin's green shore" and all it's memories. Many gallant young soldier in a foreign land has gone to his death with thoughts of some "lovely maid of Erin" among his last thoughts. Faithful as an Irishman" has long been proverb. But, coming back to The Globes query. we wonder if there is anything | in it, after all. ThiS is getting to be an intensely cosmopolitan age of the world. The facilities, opportunities and inducements for travel and intercourse have so brought the people of differ-
