! can give her and as good an edu-
cation as | can, so that she shall
follow the lesson ! have sought to
teach her. That she shall marry
only when she chooses 10 marry,
and not because Of circumstances
This is what every fair Ameri-
can father thinks, something which
has placed American womanhood
far ahead Of any other. To marry
for lifelong sustenancc, or for a
home, or for the placid content of
am idle existence is almost as de
grading as certain forms of vice.
The college woman and the woman
of independent thought, be she
nightly educated or not, realizes
this, and when she struggles in the
ranks with men, it is, nine times
ont of ten, she must work to live or
work TO keep her self-respcct whole.
This is woman'5 greatest asset. If
father or brother fail i'm the obliga-
ton Of keeping her from the bust
ness world, thus, as it is contcndcd
rubbing off the bloom," it is q
good deal mans fault The man
who does not know how to hold
what he has is generally the first
one to kick against the new order of
things. But a woman is i'm her
right when she prefers labor TO bar
ter, and whether the President
says so or not, the fact remains.
Mr. Taft is father and the right
sort Of father, if we may Judge by
his expressions. His individualism
is better understood when he ceases
to utter political platitudes. As
competent Judge on the bench he
knows whereof he speaks when
ethics and the law of rights and
privileges are under discussion.
Taft, the man of family and
thinker, is a gentleman whom the
nation can honor

As one of the editorial writer's
for this paper it gives me pleasure
to answer the well-worded letter
which appeared in last weeks
issue regarding the hvc-cent places
of amuscment. In the first place,
let me state that this argument is
simply put forth to try to Justify
the proprietors Of such places to
keep open doors ON Sunday. In
regard to the granting of permit
TO locate i'm this building, let me
state that it was positively against
the wishes of the fire marshal, and
mqucstionably against any fire
regulations that common sense
would dictate. The applicant who
obtained permit for this theatre
took advantage Of the wording of
the law and practically compelled
the issuance of license. The let
ter then states that several windows
and doors would eliminate danger
in case of fire. Perhaps it is true,
but the danger would be there, and
men familiar with these facts viii
not allow their PRONUNCIATION in

The mines of Vermont produced in
1907 from copper ores alone gold, sill
yer and copper to the value of 1892

value of $S5,376 over the output in
1906
The gold product in 1907 was l.9S
fine ounces valued at SAL, noted as in
creases, as no gold was recovered
from the copper ores in 1906. The sill

valued at $25l7, an increase of 2494
fine ounces in quantity and of 1851

OF copper 650,425 pounds were produc

pounds, worth $S37O4.
Three deep mines reported produc

of ore. The average total value OF
gold and silver recovered from these
copper ores in 1901 was S0.313 to the
