In the August Century.

Rt Rev. William Croswell Doane,
Bishop of Albany, does not agree with
the positions taken by Cardinal Gibbons
and by Prof. Ross in their articles on
Divorce" in the May Century; and he
has written a comment upon their views
and presentation of his own position
which will be published in the August
Century.
The most tranquil, the most repose-
full garden human eyes ever beheld' -
that of Coldstream Plantation, Sumter
County, South Carolina, the home of the
Witherspoon family-is the subject of

summer Holiday Number; and a number
of illustrations from photographs will
further indicate the charm of this his
toric garden.
Melvin E. Haggerty has proved, by a
series of carefully conducted expert
ments, that the tendency of monkeys to
learn by imitation is deep-seated. The

their results will he a feature of the

teresting pictures of monkeys from pho

WHERE CREDIT Is DUE.

Now that pretty much all the features
of the Champlain tercentenary celebra-
ton have been reviewed and the popu-
lar verdict is that it was most success
full affair, it is emnently just and fit
ting that the public should be reminded
of the personnel of the state commits
sion to whose public spirited and tire
less service that success is largely due
Vermont's commissioners in charge of
the celebration We're: Gov. George H.
Prouty, of Newport, Walter H. Crock
EFT, of st. Adams, Lynn M. Hayes, of
Essex Junction, Horace w. Bailey, of
Rutland, John M. Thomas, of Middle
bury, w. j. Van Patten and F. o.
Beaupre, of Burlington, Frank l.. Fish,
of Vergennes, Arthur F. Stone, of st.
Johnsbury George T. Jarvis, of Rutland.
The public will probably never adequate
ly appreciate the amount of hard labor
and sacrifice of personal leisure that
some of these men have contributed to
the credit of the state in planning the
multitude of details for this celebration,
and in so adjusting an infinite variety
of little things, expected and uneXpect-
ed, foreseen and unforeseen, that the
finality should be a celebration whose
general features were not only very APP
propriate to the dignity of the occasion
and the commonwealth that comment
Grated it but of a character to form an
international occasion gratifying to
the pride of both. - st Adams Messenger.

More knockinu.

The Green Mountain Press, published
at Essex Junction, must be glad that
the tercentenary celebration was held at
Burlington. But for that matter it
would not have made much difference
where it was held so long as it took
place. The particular cause for re-
joicing was probably not because the
event advertised the state and helped us
in many ways, not at all, but because it
furnished another opportunity for fault
finding. The latest wall is as follows
"The Tercentenary celebration is
over. Burlington got enough of it,
judging from appearances about the city
afterwards. Big men, and some small
ones, have come and gone, including
Gov. Prouty. The Governor went on
exhibition and talked some, but did not
say anything about that jamestown
disappearance. Perhaps he will explain
it when he gets around to publish the
Tercentenary statement of expendi-
lures. The people who furnished the
money would like to know what grade
of champagne they have been buying,
and how many plug hats and other royal
accessories and designations they have
been paying for.

With an attendance of eighty or more
at the summer session of Middlebury
college President Thomas and those as
ISOLATED with him have every reason to
line. Nearly all these students are
from out of town and several states are
represented. Middlebury people extend
the glad hand to these strangers within
our gates and hope for their return next
summer together with many new ones,
and they are sure to come. Our old in
stitution of learning has scored another
point.

Vermont Leads the World.

1t is forcibly brought to the attention
of the sight-sser at the Vermont Exhib-
it, Burlington, that Vermont leads the
world in several of her large industries
But the great surprises come in the
number of different industries in the
State that no one realized We're located
here.
The different furniture exhibits cause
much comment by the variety and quail
ity of goods made.
One exhibit shows samples of % diff
ferent kinds of native Vermont lumber
selected from one lumber yard. Yet it
was claimed that no lumber exhibit was
possible.
The wooden and knit good exhibits are
prominent and make a credible show
ing.
Several special Vermont patented ma
chimes are exhibited which are of I'M
common value. Several lines are shown
which are made partly or wholly for eX-
port trade.
The educational exhibit should be seen
and studied by every parent and child in
Vermont.
1t is impossible to give adequate idea
of its magnitude or value, but an hour
is well spent going through the Exhibit
and seeing the wonderful Lumiere Col
lored Pictures that are thrown on the
screen from in the morning until 10 at
night.

THE PROTEST AGAINST vIvIsEcTIoN.

AS DR.. Berdoe of London remarked
the practice of vivisection has brought
disgrace upon the noble profession of
healing, and he shows that the benefits
to medical science have always been in
inverse proportion to the inhumanity of
the research. The valuable discoveries
touching the relation of the mosquito to
malaria and yellow fever were reached
without fierce vivisection, where the
cruel experiments of Sanarelli led to
little or nothing of value.
The Importance of all this lies in the
necessity of impressing the .truthIupon

Prosperity on the Way.

The return of prosperous times which
we have all been looking forward to
seems to be near at hand. This is
evidenced in many ways, as for instance,
the building of new mills and factories
and the charging of those already in
existence, millions of dollars being
spent by the railroads for improvements
and extensions, etc.
AS an example of the feeling of OPP
timism which prevails throughout the
country among men of large affairs the
following from James j. Hill, the rail-
road magnate, is worthy of notice. He
says:
"As soon as the tariff is out of the way
this country will enjoy a prosperity
which will at least equal, if it does not
surpass, that which it knew under the
Mckinley administrator. Last month
Travelled extensively through the West
and | never saw such activity among
the farmers. Everywhere | made IN
quiry and learned and saw that the
NAOPo "Nit anu llldl Tic lar
mers were satisfied. Signs of the fl
nancial depression of 1907 are fast
fading. Freight cars will be at a
premium within a few weeks. We of
the railroad world judge the prosperity
of the nation as much by the number of
idle cars as anything else. Through
ont the mast wear there have been
thousands idle, but they will soon be
rolling about the country, filled with
freight"
Mr.. Hill and other financiers keep in
close touch with the industrial and
financial situation throughout the count
ry and their predictions should have
weight. Here's hoping that he is cor
rect.

MIDDLEBURY's INDUSTRIAL GROWTH.

We rejoice that Middlebury is likely
to experience material addition to its
industrial growth through the develop
ment of important marble interests in
that vicinity. The State as a whole in
evitably receives benefit from the up

which constitute it, and the broad mind
ed citizen will always think of the bene-
fits which come to the community as
well as to himself individually. Bur

THE TERCENTENARY PRESS AGENT.

1t is conceded that Editor Lamberton
proved splendid press agent for the
Champlain celebration. He knows how
to make copy" that fairly causes
editors to watch every mail for its ap-
pearance Not only that, but he ad-
ded definitely to the assurance of safety
Following the completion of the big
grand stand at Burlington locomotive
and train of cars was run onto it, after
which Press Agent Lamberton was also
tried on it. The structure having stood
so far, it was then announced that it
was safe for President Taft. Possibly
the News is little mixed in this proce-
dure. Anyhow the stand held all the
dignitaries that ventured on to it during
the weeks celebration. Mortified

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

The spirit of religious liberation man
Tested in the prayer offered by Rev. DR..

Isle LaMotte celebration, has called
forth much favorable comment, the
prayer for both Catholic and Protestant

In the old fashioned reading book,
when the youngster was caught in the
farmers orchard helping himself to
fruit, that genial agriculturist did not
resort to drastic treatment until milder
methods had failed to take effect. He
first called the interloper to come down
peacefully, then used pieces of turf to
emphasize his words, and did not begin
to pelt the youthful scamp with stones
until all other means had failed. The
Middlebury professor, who, according
to press dispatches, soundly thrashed
some young men found in his garden,
and received necessary information af-
forwards, evidently is not built on the
reading book gentleman's lines. Any
one who has spent time and care in
cultivating garden plot only to dis
cover that thieves have appropriated
the results of their labor will have a
fellow feeling for the Middlebury ped
agogue, and will not wonder that his
angry passions rose, when he discovered
as he supposed the guilty parties at
work. Nevertheless it is always better
to be sure you are right before you 90
ahead, for an innocent boy never really
enjoys having his jacket tanned for an
other lad shortcomings. Rutland Her.
