LENGTH OF DAYS IN NEW ENGLAND

A good many fathers and mothers in New England nowadays think they are not honored by their children in a way that will bring them (the chill dren) length of days in the land, but that fathers and mothers in New Eng land have been honored is indicated by two things that happened Wednes- day. A teamster of Spencer. Massa- chusetts, celebrated his ninetieth birthday Wednesday, and ex-Gover- nor Holbrool1 of Vermont who will be ninety-five next month, presided Wednesday at the annual meeting of the corporators of the Vermont Say ings bank at Brattlehoro
 These are good old ages, and good old records. To all appearances these men are enjoying life quite as we'll as most people They indicate what can be done by those who can do 1t, and they stimulate attempts to be among those who can do it,

ANOTHER EXPLANATION.

There have been several "explana- tions' of the late panic, but none exact ly like that put forth by the Farm CTS Educational and Cooperative trn- ion of America, in session at Mem phis, which discovered, and put the discovery into a resolution, that the panic was "a conspiracy on the part of the money power and spectators for the purpose of serving notice on the farmer that he must be contented to allow others to fix the price of his products
 This is interesting. and it shows the benefits of educational and co-opera- tive work among farmers. It is espe- cially interesting to that part of the money power and those speculators who have resolved that the panic was a conspiracy on the part of a money | power and some spectators to enable | them to fix the prices of securities 3 And when that part of the money l power and those spectators are heard from that will be interesting too.

 The advent of Japan among the great powers of the world has been re- markable occurrence, the most remark able, perhaps, in the latter part of the last century. and we may readily par don some observers for being actually hewildered by it.
