Battle Of Bennington Day.

1t is enough to make the bodies of
the influential Vermonters who toiled
so long to rear Bennington's battle
turn in their graves that
the Burlington News and st. Adams
Messenger, abetted by other papers
in the state, advise the abolition of
the holiday known as Bennington
battle day, The complaint is that 1t
is sham and nuisance to have the
banks and post offices closed while
most people keep about their working
day routine. There is no Benning-
ton battle day holiday spirit in Yer
mont. And 1t cannot be made by
law" 1t might pay to try and Sc
cure special historical observances
that would help to redeem the holiday
from growing disrespect,. although
annual effort of this kind would pail.
At any rate the old home days could
be appointed for August 16. This is
the one distinctive Green mountain
holiday, and are the people SO soon
to tire of It? 1t is to be said In gen.
eral that the holidays legalized by the
nation and state do not need adding
TO, and perhaps Vermont will in time
undo what she has done.-Springheld

DEAN BAILEY ACCEPTS
VIII Serve as Head of the Presidents
Farm Commission

Ithaca, n. Y, Sept. 3.-Dean Liber-
ty Bailey of the New York State col
lege Of Agriculture at Cornell Univer-
sity has accepted the appointment of
President Roosevelt at the head of the
commission of five which is to inyes-
tigate the condition of farmers and re-
port recommendation for the better
ment of rural life. Dean Bailey de-
clned the appointment when 1t was
made, on account of the press of dut'
les here in connection with his posi-
ton at the university but at the ur
gent request of President Roosevelt
and leave of absence having been
granted by President Schurman OF
Cornell, he has reconsidered.

Battle of Bennington.

The Manchester Union thinks that
IL is singular fact that the battle
Of Bennington has never taken hold
of the public fancy in the way that
Lexington and Bunker Hill have
done and 1t goes on to remind its
readers that It is recognized by his.
torians as the turning point OF the
Revolution. 1t was the first time In
history that raw militia had con-
tended successfully against intrench-
ed regular troops. 1t made Saratoga
possible, which in turn encouraged
France TO recognize the independ.
Ience of the American colonies"
Yet, the Union proceeds, full cen
fury passed before any serious effort
was made to commemorate the vic.
tory by any adequate memorial, and
now, less than a quarter of a century
after the battle monument was dedi-
Gated with appropriate ceremonies,
Vermont newspapers like the Bur
llington News, the ST. Adams Messen-
ger and others are advocating the
abolition of the holiday known as the
bennington battle holiday. They
complain that 1t Is a sham and a
nuisance to have the banks and post
Offices closed while most people keep
about their regular workday rou-
tine"
The Union thinks that this is all
very queer, but it recalls the fact
that the case is the same in New
Hampshire as in Vermont. "The
day, It says, has never attracted
any special attention in New Hamp-
shire, 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,
in so far as any public or adequate
recognition is concerned, and the an
niversary of the battle is observed
even less in New Hampshire than in
Vermont Indeed, 1t may be doubted
liz many of the school children, to
say nothing of other folks, can tell
on what day of August the battle
Ioccurred-or in what year either.
The explanation, which the Union
searches for in vain, is very simple
Admiral Schley said of the great
naval victory of Santiago that
round"
So there was, but there were sc
many to share it that no one man
had a full measure of 1t.
So in the case of Bennington bat
tie, the glory was divided between
the three States of Vermont, New
York and New Hampshire. No one
State could appropriate 1t, although
we of Vermont have made a feeble
and wholly unsuccessful effort to de-
so, and consequently no one State
feels a special, vital interest in the
celebration of the battle.-Burling

Some Of the discussion that has
arisen relative to the doing away
with Bennington Battle day as a legal
holiday in this state is reprinted in
this issue of the Banner. The
Battle OF Bennington was the one
great blow of Vermont in earning the
independence of the colonies and II
the state has not the public spirit
and patriotism to give it proper
recognition, the fault is the states
not ours here in Bennington. 1t wiz
always be observed here anyway.

A SUGGESTION
WHY NOT HAVE FIREMEN'S TOUR
NAMENT HERE ON THE
FOURTH OF JULY

In all probability Bismarck will cele-
brate the Fourth of July in a fitting
manner this year and it is not too
early to plan therefor The Tribune
suggests that a firemen's tournament
for the Missouri Slope towns be held
then and a royal good time along 9TH
er lines added so that there will be
fun and something of interest for all
who may come to celebrate with the
city.
Undoubtedly out of the three local
companies some good teams could ne
evolved between now and the Fourth
and the old spirit which led the Bis
marck department to state victories
would be revived to the best interest
of the department. Other towns or
the Slope have good fire companies
which would doubtless be glad to join
with the local companies in such an
event and the tournament would have
good effect on all the companies
taking part. Perhaps such an event
would result in making them annual
to be held at the different towns OF
the Slope, which would be good thing
for all concerned. Why not?

Was Gay Deeeiver

The New York Herald yesterday
printed full page story in which it
was stated that William A. Rockefel-
Ter, father of John D. Rockefeller, died
in May, 1906, at Freeport, ILL.,, under
name of DR.. William Livingstone, leav-
ing widow for whom he deserted his
legal wife. The account says he had
spent much time in North Dakota and
that his identity is established by
deeds on record in Walsh county by
which Donald and John Ross convey
ed land, for which Livingstone paid,
to Pierson D. Briggs of Cleveland, who
was a son-in-law of William Rockefel
Ter; that there are also deeds which
were recorded in Walsh county DC
tober 10, 1889, signed by William A.
Rockefeller, widower. This would
make it appear that old man Rookie
Teller was a gay bird and the story
has aroused other New York papers
so that they were wiring this and
other cities for confederation of the
above story last night. @

FUNERAL OF o. r. HOLEMO HELD
SUNDAY UNDER AUSPICES OF
MASONS-U. C. l. AND BAND AL.
so TOOK PART.

\ On Sunday afternoon the funeral
services for Olaf F. Holemo were held
at the Episcopal church at 2:30 o'clock
and the remains were escorted from
the Roanoke hotel to the church by
the Masons. Inc church was packed
with the friends of the deceased, who
were there to sincerely mourn his de-
parture. Archdeacon Jones conduct
ed the services and spoke feelngly of
the departure of one whom he had
known intimately and had learned to
love for his deyotedness to the church
and his sterling qualities. But, strick-
en- down in the prime of youth, the
departed friend had passed out of the
world ere he scarce knew it's troubles.
In addition to the regular mixed
choir of the church, which rendered
a few touching selections, male
quartette, consisting of Messrs Quirk,
Wins1ow, Sellens and Humphrey sang
a couple of beautiful pieces.
Following these services was the
beautiful funeral service conducted by
the Masons.
In testimony of the esteem in which
the deceased was held were lovely
flowers contributed by absent friends,
the band boys, the travelling mems
council and the Masonic lodge, to all
of which organizations he belonged.
These different bodies were present
with large representations. The Ma
sons again took charge of the body at
the close of the church service and
escorted it to the depot, the band play
ing a funeral march.
A sister and younger brother were
the only relatives of the deceased
present They accompanied the re
mains to the old home at Ironwood
Mich, where the interrment will take
place.
