Ger Chandler is quoted TO the effect
that the six thousand dollars expended
by the city already In this cause WAS
as good as wasted, and the board is dis

The alleged basis Of this official dis

Incnt the work Of the officials by indi-

tiouble. Breeding places of mosquitoes
have been recently discovered in the
very heart Of the city, and this in spite
of the desperate efforts Of the health
officers To eradicate the pest. The
board will seek to take time by the
forelook, however by recommending
that. in the future, children in every
school in the state be taught how to
abolish the mosquito pest.
Only the health boards side Of the
story is al hand. The public may have
different version, or il may not. The
met remains that citizens of most
cities and towns, having placed any

selves relieved Of all further response

The Bennington Battle.

II Is a singular fact that the battle
Of Bennington has never taken mold Of
the public fancy in the way that Lexing
ton and Bunker Hill have done. The
battle is generally recognized by histori.
ans as the turning point OF the Revolu-
ton. IL was the first time in history
that raw militia had contended success.
fully against entrenched regular troops.
II made Saratoga possible, which in turn
encouraged France 10 recognize the indie
pendenee Of the American colonies. Yet
full century passed before any serious
effort was made to commemorate the
victory by any adequate memorial, and
now, less than quarter Of century
after the battle monument was dedicated
with appropriate ceremonies, Vermont
newspapers like the Burlington News,
the st. Adams Messenger and Others are
advocating the abolition OF the holiday
known as the Bennington battle holiday,
They complain that it is sham and
nuisance to have the banks and post
Offices closed while most people keep
about their regular rk-day routine.
II is asserted that there is no Benning-
ton battle holiday spirit in Vermont
and that it cannot be made by law"
At first thought this seems strange
enough 1t is not, indeed, easily to be
explained. Yet, when attention is re.
called to the matter it will be remem-
bered that the day has never attracted
any special attention in New Hampshire,
although this state supplied by far the
greater portion Of the men who fought
in that battle and the commander who
led them. Gen. John Stark's grave is
still unhonored, insofar as any public
or adequate recognition is concerned
and the anniversary OF the battle is OBJ

in Vermont, Indeed, 1t may be doubted
ii many Of the school children, TO say
nothing Of other folks, can tell on what
day of August the battle occurred -or in

Athens, o., Aug 3l.--William II. Taft

line to demand a higher price for milk
during the coming winter. In the pre-

changes the arguments for another rise
in the price OF milk have happily been

day, which as usual goes into butter
and cheese, the less profitable dairyman's
lines.
The only argument that remains for
higher milk prices is the sustained cost
Of Western grain and similar feed; IL

whether these present rates will last
through the winter is much disputed. IL
is primarily upon the New England grass
crop, however, that the price of our milk
depends. or at least the rates upon which
it can be proiltably produced, and in this
respect the later summer has been as
notable for It's generous supplies Of mois-

American interpreters placed it. The
present president of the United States

Monroe Doctrine is a declaration that
there must be no territorial aggrandze-
ment by any non-American power at
the expense of any American power on
American soil. 1t is in no way intended
to be hostile to any nation of the Old

the punishment does not take the form
of the acquisition of territory by any
non-American power" Under this def.
milton, which is practically that which
has been given by every president and
secretary of state who has dealt with it
since its PRONUNCIATION, Holland will have
large measure of liberty in chastising
Castro without assailing our policy that
the people of the American continent
must rule the continent. Queen Wilhel-
nina is not seeking territory this side
of the Atlantic. La Guayra, Maracaibo
and Venezuela's other seaports may be
blockaded by Holland. Possibly the forts
in some of them may be bombarded. If
Castro's navy ventures to attack the
Dutch ships it may be handled as rough
