M.UForeignS Students
Foreign Students at the University.

! Foreign students at thc university.
From Europe, Asia, South America
land Australia students come to the
University OF Missouri. About fifty
OF them attend this institution, and
in many cases they have gone through
hardship to come this distance and at
|ta:n the education held out by DEM
iocratic institution. The students have
all realized the benefit OF an education
and seeing that from their own coun-
try no adequate satisfaction could
lbe got5I they have turned their steps
toward America with it's free educa-
ton. These who have come from
afar all intend to return to their ma
tive countries or the places where
they have spent most of their lives.
! These students can not be called in
migrants, for they do not come to this
icOuntry to live, neither do they come
entirely with their personal advance
ment as an ultimate view. Realizing
the inadequacy Of their native country
Fthey go abroad to learn, then return
to teach their countrymen what has
| been learned abroad. These foreign
tstudents are OF the better class intel
lectually; the lower classes would
never have the ideal of a higher edu-
cation. In their studying this Is
| borne out, for they rank in many
cases as high as the Americans with
whom they study. However, man.

signs of wealth, their voyage to gel

work received while in the Uriver-
|sity, an education would be impOssi-
Bile for many of this class. Those
who work their way through live 2
hermit's life largely, refraining from
ALI social intercourse on account oi
work which encroaches on their time
and because of their inability to III
termingle with the Americans.
While separated III space from their |

exists which serves a. a means OF !
bringing together those far from

similar clubs have been formed thus
serving as a means CT bringing the
foreign element in the student body
close together.
One feature of this class is that
they take college life seriously. The
hilarity and bright side are not for
them-they leave that to those of the
silver spoon. They realize that into
four years must be crowded work
that will fit them for lie; thus they
make the most OF their opportunities.
From these who visit us for short

a month before his death at Cold
Harbor, June 3, 1854. The exhibit

tain Men and IN the years to come,
as in the past, the moiling millions
in our smoke-grimed cities will
look for clear-eyed, straight thinking
leaders to her everlasting hiiis.
When an active business man
from outside of the state comes and
tells vermonters that the tide is
turning back toward them it is time
to begin to believe it. It is time to
hearten the people somewhat and in
still newer and broader ideas of their
work and opportunities. One thing
is sure the world will not
value any mans possession
higher than the man does himself.
If Yermonters go on treating their
agricultural possessions as some
thing practically worthless to be I'M
loaded on somebody the world will
take the same view. On the other
hand a live confident spirit in the
Vermont farmer will beget in his
customer the same spirit and really
work to the advantage of both. Let
the Vermont farmer meet the better
times with better methods and surely
his vine and fig tree win flourish as
never before.

A Word of announcements.

Matt B. Jones of Boston in deliv-
ering an address before the Vermont
Historical Society at Montpelier
made these statements:
The hill town has played well it's
part in the grand history of our ma
ton. It's rugged acres have nurtured
thousands of good men and women
whose handiwork may now be seen
in this and other states. Before it
was itself firmly established, its sons
and daughters were pushing west
ward to newly opened lands, and
since that time the never ending
stream of emigration has pursued
the vanishing frontier and like the
rainbow's pot of gold kept ever just
ahead. And now its population
dwindIes, it's homes are falling into
ruins, its farms are returning to the
a decayed and dying member.
My friends it is not so. Those
bush-grown acres were often never
meant to till; those ruins are re-
placed by better homes; that dwind-
ling population produces more, is
better fed and educated, has wider
interests, and lives a saner, happier
life than ever did its forbears.
Let it not be assumed that the hill
town has no future. There IS no
longer a frontier. the feeting will-o-
the-wisp of cheap land to the west
ward no longer dances before our
eyes; and no longer will the virgin
soil of the prairies yield up its hun
bred fold without return. Here, at
the threshold of the markets, is the
opportunity of the future, and the
men viii not fail to grasp it. The
tide GIBBS but to flow again, and he,
whose eye can see the coming great
ness of our nation, by the same
token knows that the fertile acres of
the hills and valleys of Vermont
must play an ever growing part in it's
economy.
Nor is this ALL The hill town is
still a mother of men-Green Noun

Duties from One Ship.

1t is quite probable that very few
people have anything like an ade-
. quate idea of the amount of money
paid in duties at any given Ameri-
can port in the course of year. It
is universally understood, in a vague
sort of way, that the sum is immense,
but the great majority of people are
content to let it go at that. Moreover,
while it is everywhere accepted as a
fact that the vigilance of Collector
Loeb and his men has resulted in
turning into the nations Golfers, from
the customs service at the port of
New York, hundreds of thousands of
dollars, which, under a less alert
regime, never would have been paid
at all, no one can tell exactly what
proportion of the duties now paid
would have been evaded under other
conditions. The amount of duties,
however, paid by the passengers ar
irving on a single ship is sometimes
impressive. Take, for instance, the
Hamburg-American liner Kaiserin
Auguste Victoria, which arrived in
New York last Saturday, from Ham
burg. She brought 944 passengers,
who contributed to the customs
more than $4,000. The inspectors
reported that the declarations were
well made out, and that there was
very little trouble in the examination
of the immense quantity of baggage.
Still more significant is the report
that the passenger list included sew
eral persons who had been at odds
with the New York customs men on
other occasions, but who evidently
realized that an attempt at evasion
of duty payment would be arrant
folly. This is one of the wholesome
lessons that travellers have learned
from Collector Loeb's way of doing
business.
It is probable that the amount of
duties paid by the passengers of the
Kaiserin Auguste Victoria was I'M
usually large; but if one were to re-
duce it by one-third, or even by one
half, and multiply the remainder by
the number of transatlantic liners
arriving in New York in the course
of a year, the result would undoubt-
edly be surprising.-[M Manchester

Last Weeks Elections.

More complete returns of the state
elections held last week Tuesday
rather more than confirm the earlier
reports of the democratic success. In
Ohio the complete democratic state
ticket and a Democratic legislature
were elected which ensures the cleo
ton of a democratic United States
Senator to succeed Senator Dick.
New York will send a democrat to
succeed Sen. Chauncey M. Depew
and New Jersey will also send a
democrat to succeed Sen. John F.
Mexican. In fact there are so many
changes that it looks as though
there would be 81 republican senat-
ors, 40 democratic, and one doubt
full after the fourth of next March.
In the house there are even great
er changes and the membership of
tn next house will be changed from
217 republicans and liza democrats
to 225 democrats 165 republicans
and one socialist. This overwhelm-
ing change places a great response
bility on the republicans during the
coming short session of Congress
from December to March. In this
session it has been customary to give
most of the time to appropriations
but this year it is the last opportuni-
ty the republicans will have to carry
out their legislative program. If
they are to redeem party pledges
they must do it quickly and we hope
they will rise to the occasion. II
they will act promptly and in &C
cordance with the expressed will of
the people they will do much toward
the establishment of the party two
years from now. Pres. Taft realizes
this and it remains for the members
of congress themselves to decide to
a considerable extent what the
partys future shall be.
The result in New Hampshire and
California where the progressive re-
publicans named the candidates and
won, together with the defeat of a
regular republican in Massachusetts
would seem to indicate the strength
of the progressive republican princi-
pies and should be given considera
ton in formulating the plans of the
party for the future. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Speaker Canon and
Serene Payne were reelected to the
national house and that Sen. Lodge
probably will be reelected in Massa-
chusetts it seems evident that the
strength of stand patism is gone.
Out of the republican defeat should
come new leaders more responsive
to the demands of the people and a
party ready to end the era of tariff
dickering and install a scientific
method of treating this. perp1exing

Unfortunate Burlington.

Burlington, the largest and most
beautiful city in the state of Yer
mont, should in a way receive the
sympathy of all the rest of the state.
Several years ago in the face of an
offer by a private corporation
to furnish the city street lights
at rate of $65 per year per
lamp of 1000 candle power it
voted to construct municipal
electric plant and do it's own
and commercial electric lighting.
That vote was made by its poll tax
payers to whom the expense of the
venture meant little.
The plant was built at total
cost to date of over $4,000 and fol-
several years the city paid it $72 peg
year for each street light. Three
years ago the price was reduced to
SOS per year but at these prices the
plant has not earned enough to
maintain it's machinery and the city
is now confronted with a demand
for 100000 more to replace worn
out machinery. At the same time
the private company is selling cleo
tricity for commercial purposes at
just half the price charged by the
municipal plant.
Under these conditions the wis
dom of putting more money into the
plant seems very questionable. 1t
looks from the outside as though all
the city will eventually have to show
for its venture in the electric light
business will be a bonded debt of
$15O,0O0 and a practically useless
plant That added to the bonded
debt of 100000 on which it has
been paying interest for about TWEEN
ty years for an independent railroad
which it never got makes the fnan-
cial standing of the city unfortunate.
The failure of the electric light
venture is not wholly due to the fact
it was a municipal undertaking but
rather to the fact that it could not
be established on sound business
basis. The city attempted to oper-
Grated by coal in competition with
an established plant run by water
power and it could not do it. Neither
could any private corporation COM
pete successfully under those con-
ditions but the irresponsible voters
were led to believe they could, hence
the city's sad plight.

The Governors Good Judgment.

In his appointments for highway
commissioner, bank examiner, mem
Der of the state board of health, and
several other officers Gov. Mead has
demonstrated that he did not de-
serve the suspicion expressed by
some newspaper correspondents that
he was likely to even up political
scores in making his appointments.
Apparently he was Influenced more
by the mems fitness for the different
PAGES than bytheir attitude in the pre-
convention campaign. He showed
excellent judgment in his course be-
cause the men chosen are SO much
interested in their departments that
they will do all in their power to
conduct them successfully and in
this way add much to the credit of
Gov. Mead's administration. His
selection of John L. Lewis of Troy as
member of the board of
penal institutions will be con-
sidered very moderate recognition of
Mr.. Lewis good work for the gov
ernor in the campaign and Mr.. Lewis
ability will generally commend him
for the position.
If the governor adheres to this
policy in all of his appointments his
critics will lose another opportunity
ito jump on him.

A Good Guesser, Harvey Is.

Along with the astute election
prophets must be placed Col
George Harvey, editor of Harper's
Weekly. Shortly before the election,
he predicted that Woodrow Wilson,
democrat, would carry New Jersey
by 100000. The latest returns give
Wilson just about that number in
splendid victory. Again, Col. Har-
vey predicted that Judge Simeon
Connecticut by 5000, which the
thousand or SO votes. In the third
place; Col. Harvey's prophecy that
Harmon, democrat, would be re-
elected in Ohio by $4,000 was near
enough to be considered fairly ac-
curate forecast. In Massachusetts,
Col. Harvey was too conservative in
believing that Foss' election would
be close, while he hit it correctly in
New Hampshire's case by declaring
that Bass would be chosen in a close
fight. This prophet further asserted
that Beveridge would be beaten in
Indiana, and the balance seems now
to fall that way. Harvey's well-known
contempt for Roosevelt led him to
the belief that Dix would carry New
York by 100000, and that figure
will have to be sliced a third, al
though the general result was cor
rect. He also declared that Senator
C. M. Depew would have to go, which
seems certain. The national House,
he opined, would have a majority of
forty for the democrats, which is
rather near the truth. Thus, taking
it all around, the observing editor
of Harper's Weekly rather startling
ly maintained his reputation for ac-
curate political forecasts Now let
him give Theodore Roosevelt no

Mrs. E. G.. Hudson, who has loaned
number of pieces of old china and
glassware, brought in during the
summer a pewter communion serv-
ice, of four pieces, which was used
in the Baptist church of the district
of Concord called Texas. Richardson
Graves, grandfather of B. K. Graves
of Waterford. gave the set to the
church. An article of interest in the
making of pewter is a spoon mold,
also loaned by Mrs. Hudson. The
mold is made of iron, thickly black
ened with smoke to prevent the pew
