FAREWELL MR.. FL YNN

The probabilities are that UNI
pire Flynn has been called out at
home at last. He intimated as much
yesterday and he's not going to
umpire the Aberdeen series that
opens here this afternoon. From
the way Flynn talked it might be
gathered that Lucas had cut him
loose after all the managers and
magnates In the league, except
Portland, had kicked on him long
and hard. No official announce
ment has been made yet. What
would boil out of that left field
bleacher with Flynn In an Aber-
deen-Spokane game would be hard
to imagine.
A string Of bad ones came Sat
urday that ought to queer any UNI
pire. Maybe Flynn was only try
ing to even things up, but that Is
poor umpiring. Altman had run
ner by several feet on third, but
Flynn called him safe. Then Bur-
nett missed Sugden about a foot
with the ball on second and Flynn
called that out. The fans looked
to see Sugden soaked for about $25
because of 1t, but the old boy took
1t. James got the next on being
called out on first with the base
man not otuching the bag. That
was evened up by calling an Indian
safe at first later on play that
sent Nordye' raving out into the
diamond. 1t was about the fierc-
est exhibition OF how not to UNI
pire that has yet been put up.
Frary and Carruthers are safe even
on their loosest work now. They
couldn't be as bad as Flynn IL they
tried. =

VARIED BALL N
CITY LEAGUE

In lively 13-inning game in
which Gelvin and Wright, Brown
lees and Varneys' pitchers, re-
spectively, putting up some of the
best ball seen in the city league
this season, the Brownies took the
laurels by score of : to 3. Wright
weakened a little in the last in
ming and the Brownies soon filled
the bases. Galore brought in two
scores with a short hit. Neumann
went into the box for the Varneys
through the first inning, but was
relived by Wright for the re-
mainder of the game because he
was wild.

looks as though the Zouaves were
doomed to the worst luck the City
league has seen this year. The
game was filled with errors, the
Zouaves making seven of them.

Law Regarding Shipments of
Liquor

The new federal law which goes into
effect January l making it unlawful for
"A railroad or express company or any
common carrier to transport intoxicat-
ing liquor from one state to another I'M
less the contents are plainly marked on
the outside of the package, is Of CON
siderable interest to a good many people
in Montpelier and Barre who have been
in the habit of receiving frequent en-
press Packages from Boston and other
New England cities, the contents of
which could only be known after the
packages were opened.
For violation of this law a penalty
of not more than $1,000 is fixed which
will make it extremely risky business to
ship intoxicating liquor from any other
state into Vermont in plain packages
This will also apply to beer shipped in
barrels to fictitious parties, which is very
frequently done in this part of the state.

Commenting on the death of King
Leopold of Belgium the Bennington
Banner says:
1.-The general sensation at the death
of King Leopold will be one of relief.
Naturally man of great ability and un-
doubted business sagacity, yet he was
guilty of the most atrocious crimes in
his treatment of the natives of the Con-
go in order to increase the dividends of
his companies. Yet after all was he
any worse than the Armour Beef COM
pany is today? If Leopold's native
employees did not return a sufficient
profit their hands or their heads We're
cut off. In this way he scared bigger
profits out of those left alive and I'M
harmed. The methods of the beef
trust are less crude but Just as horrible.
In order to increase profits it has forced
up the cost of necessaries of life until
poor people, when out of regular work,
are unable to get proper amount of
the necessities of life Children of
these families are forced to leave school
uneducated and unframed Girls be-
come prostitutes and boys criminals that
the beef trust may pay 80 per cent an
nual dividends. The beef trust ism t
alone responsible but it and its kind are
largely blamable. We do not believe
that Leopold, King of the Belgians, is
occupying any hotter seat in hell today
than the one being reserved there for
Ogden Armour and his associates. -
This is pretty plain talk but withal
sensible and to the point. 1t isn't nee
essary TO chop off a head or infict other
direct bodily injury to commit murder.
The trust way of doing things is more
polished and more in accord with mod
ern methods but il accOmplishes the
same result in many cases, and if there
is a region such a. described by Brer.
Howe the dead King will have some
distinguished company and some not
so distinguished.

THE DIVORCE LAWS.

The September session of Washing
ton county court recently closed is said
to have been a record breaker in the
matter of divorces, 81 being granted
and three discontinued. This record
does not appear to be much worse com
paratively than in many other counties.
The unenviable record of divorce pro-
ceeding in Vermont is not likely to be
reduced in the aggregate so long as the
present lax marriage laws in this state
continue and the present apparent in
difference of many officials to strict
enforcement of what law there is.
The people may continue to deplOre
and deplore the work of the divorce
courts, but so long as it is possible to
contract secret, hasty and totally unfit
marriages, many of which are simply
the promptings of lust, the applications
for separation from unhappy and dan
gerous conditions will pile up in the
courts, and it is the humane Judge that
grants the prayer of the petitioner for
separation in a large majority of
cases.
The divorce laws may not be all that
can be desired but they need no more
strict Interpretation than they receive
in most cases under the present de-
plorabe conditions.
The first remedy to be sought in
Vermont and probably in many other
states is radical marriage laws, COM
pelling among other things possible
medical supervision to a certain extent
and above all the utmost publicity of
intended marriages. 20
After reasonable marriage laws are
promulgated and strict enforcement pro
vided for. there will be time enough to
give consideration to other phases of the
question. Al the present time most OF
the work for reforming the evil is being
done at the mouth instead of the source
of the wretched disease - NorthtielC

Candidates are coming to the front

venue at the port OF Burlington to sue
coed Hon. Charles H. Darling when his
term expires, and it is quite natural
that some are in receptive mood as the
position carries big salary and the du-
ties are probably not as onerous as in
some other occupations. AS far as we
know Mr.. Darling has been an efficient

opinion one term of four years should be
enough to satisfy the ordinary man.

words are these. We want gentleman
God knows we have too few of them
but we do not want professional gen
tleman. England has had her profess
sional gentlemen for centuries and that
country today is in the midst of a des-
perate political struggle designed to
compel these landed gentlemen, who
have inherited vast estates, and have
refused to sell homesteads to men ''of
low degree" to bear something like
their fair share of the burden of taxa
ton.
President Butler does not apply his
definition to the noble profession of
letters, to the men and women who
study the masters of literature that
they may be able through a process of
mental and moral assimilation, to give
to the world some new messages in
essay, or history, story or song. 1t is
simply genteel name for idleness, and
the world has no place and no use for
the idler who is able to do his share of
the worlds work
In some parts of the West extreme
radicalsm often springs up, like Jonah S
gourd, during night. In the East we
are inclined to go to the other extreme,
aud hold too tenaciously to old customs
and ideas. We look with some sus-
picion upon new methods and new prin-
ciples. Today new spirit is begin
ming to make itself felt in Vermont and
throughout New England. We need
young men who will preach and practice
these new principles a great deal more
than we need gentlemen of leisure.

THE PROFESSIONAL GENTLEMAN.

DR.. John NJ. Thomas has been presi-
dent of Middlebury College a little over
year, and in that time has done more
for the institution over which he has
been called to preside, it is probable,
than any other educator in New Eng
land: and during that period he has also
won place among the foremost men of
Vermont. He is that most happy COM
bination of types, a practical idealist,
having the vision of a prophet and the
shrewd common sense of his New Eng
land Yankee forbears.
AS public speaker Doctor Thomas
takes high rank, both for the manner
and the matter of his speeches, and
Vermont audiences have learned to ex-
pect something timely and wholesome
from every speech that he makes. In
his address delivered at Holyoke, Mass.
Friday evening, he dealt with New Eng
lands educational problems and New
England needs, in the course of which
he said:
n am not forgetful that in urging
more practical and Immediately useful
endeavors upan the colleges am run
ming counter 10 judgments widely held,
and falling under the rebuke of men of
great reputation. President Butler of
Columbia, has said OF late.
There is, too, a curious inability or
Discrimination on the part of many col
lege reformers, to see the necessity of
furnishing minds and characters for the
simple profession of gentleman. The
generous and reflective use of leisure,
and the passing of many an hour in the
friendly companionship of the literature
of all time, or of the best literature of
our time, are occupation enough for
some fortunate men, and society is
poorer when those whose tastes and OPP
portunities lead them in this direction
are tempted or driven elsewhere. The
cult of the will has gone far enough
just now for the good of mankind; it is
a futile and empty will that so often
finds noisy and irritating expression.
Nevertheless | do not retract 1t
occurs TO me that the title of gentleman
is a signal honor when it is worn by one
who renders humanity good service, in
the pulpit or at the bar, or eVen-as
may be the case beside the wOrkmen's
bench. But the profession of gentle
man is miserable profession, and the
generous and reflective use of leisure
as serious occupation is additionally
an occasion for Satan.
Woulu raIner my one vermont
farmer clearing his $50 per acre than
all the professional gentlemen in the
country. 1t is because we allow our
selves to cater to the reflective use of
leisure and there is many a fresh
man VINO would warm his soul at that
expression-it is because we indulge in
that dilletante view of the object of a
college that we have lost to some de-
gree our grip on the earnest folk who
have made New England what she is,
and for that same reason they have lost
some of the virtues of their fathers
which they can lily do without. For the
university as for the individual there is
one way to eminence. He that would

Board, finds rather poor brand of hu-

was impressed with the cruelty of the
natives and believes that the cockpit,
which everybody attends, even mothers
with babes in their arms, is the school
in which this trait is developed He
says eff it was ever the duty of the

seems to me even more its duty to an
initiate the cockpit" He gave specific
cases to illustrate how Indifferent the
people are to human suffering. For in
stance, laboring man who was terribly
injured was taken to his shack and left
upon the floor to die or get well as fate
might will. The two Americans found
him fourteen days after the accident a
seething mass of filth and pus. After
bathing and dressing the poor
wretch they placed him in their launch
and took him to Davao, where he recov-
cred and is now well and strong. His
employer lived directly across the street
and DR.. Sibley writes: at is safe tc
say that he took better care of his pigs
than of his servant" He also expresses
doubt whether military measures alone
will ever abolish this characteristic OF
cruelty, and adds: Truly great res
possibility has been placed upon the

At the recent dinner of the Chicago

fact was developed that the summer

more valuable than all the silver mines
of the country. Summer boarders and
cottagers spend between $50, 900, 600 and

while the annual product of the silver
mines of the country is $38, $50, 400.
