John A. Rush is one of those who got
caught with the goods. He wrote a
letter to the financiers in Chicago
who were to finance scheme to
cleanup couple million of dollars
and the letter-like curses-came
home to roost. Cleanup" John was
caught red-handed.
This gang of precious rascals find
the picking too thin in harassing the
corporations through the winding
ways they now have to go to get the
money They want richer swag
Hence they are all for municipal
ownership.
Municipal ownership sounds good
to poor men as it appeals to their be-
lief that a government, of any kind,
is, or ought to be, more on the square
than any man or set of men.
The professional reformer trades
on this patriotism of the poor man.
He urges them to take over the water
company, for instance, and put the
reformer in charge of the works
The whole scheme of municipal
ownership in Denver is to furnish
jobs for a bunch of professional re.
formers who want to fry the fat out
of the water company If they ever
get the chance to cut this juicy politi-
cal melon they will have the time OF
their lives.
And the taxpayer will foot the bill.
Under the present system they sci.
dom get much. The corporation is no
fool. A man meets the grating re-
former who is as shrewd as the re.
former is. He trims his demand down
to the lowest cent and then pays only
when he has to. Under municipal
ownership there would be nobody to
stand between the CRATER and the
loot he reaches for He would put
in his hand up to the elbow in the
taxpayers money and keep on dip
ping in until he was caught-too late
to get any of it back.
And every dollar he took would
mean higher taxes.
Now it simply means that the profits
of the stockholders are cut down.
The present system is cheaper for
the man who pays the taxes. He
knows there is grating and that
grafters are threatening every corpor'
alton they think can be scared into
giving up money. But he also knows
that before the corporations will give
up it will turn and twist and bargain
so that the smallest sum that will
buy the grafter's miserable soul is
all he ever gets.
If the grafters ever got free hand
at municipal ownership in Denver
they would get fat as rats in wheat
bin

optimism, largely, the first half
million of the amount has been
secured, and the work of securing
the other half of the desired amount
is to be prosecuted with fresh vigor.
That 100000 has been raised for
the University is a splendid achieve
ment, and the persons who have
put their shoulders to the wheel
and worked for il, together with
those who responded to their APP
peals, are to be congratulated on
the partial accomplishment of the
original ion.
That amount makes possible the
furtherance of the University of
Vermont's work in a large measure.
Heretofore, there has been a serious
handicap because Of the shortage
of funds available for departmental
work. The University is well sup
piled with buildings, having a
college plant that compares favor
ably with others of a similar size
throughout the country. But to
equip those buildings and to provide
professors and instructors for the
growing number of students was the
problem Doubtless, much of the
money now provided will be used for
supplying those deficiencies, rather
than for adding to the physical
equipment in buildings. The word
endowment, used in connection
with the 100000, would so indicate
at any rate. Thus it will be possible
to round out the influence of the
University through the loyalty and
generosity OF its alumni and friends.

BACK FROM PALESTINE.
Pastor RusselI's Return From Visiting
Holy Land and Egypt.

Holy Land and Egypt.
[From N. Y. Herald, Sunday, June 8. 1901
Pastor Russell of the Brooklyn Tab
ernacle has returned from trip to the
Holy Land and Egypt and will address
the public today at the Brooklyn Acad-
envy Of Music. Mr.. Russell has GER
tain interesting ideas regarding the
Great Pyramid and its symbolic teach
ing and believes the time is at hand
for the return of Israel to Palestine.
He is a very pronounced believer in
the Zionistic movement
The present is the second visit to the
Pyramid and to Palestine, the land
once Israeps. In one of his works pub
lished more than twenty years ago Mr..
Russell applied certain measurements
of pyramid passages, an inch for a
year, as symbolically showing the
length of divine favor upon the Jews
from the time they became a nation
down to the year A. D. 20, when Jeru-
salem was destroyed and the Jewish
polity ended.
In the same work he declared also
that certain passageways symbolically
indicated the length of time during
which the nation Of Israel would be
cut of from any and all special mani
festations Of divine favor, and when
this would end the favor of God would
again return to them.

Mortified News. J

The formation of what is practic-
ally a new agricultural school at
Lyndonville means much for the
welfare of the entire State of YER
mont. Mr.. Theodore N. Vail could
not have turned his efforts in any
direction promising more for the
improvement of industrial condi-
lions in this State. He is a man
who is accustomed to succeed in
what he undertakes and undoubt-
eddy the new school will prove
a success. AS we understand it,
it is not to be a private enterprise
of Mr.. Wallis, but a public institu-
ton, part of the educational
system of the State. The boys who
attend this school will not be
charity scholars of any individual.
The plan for allowing boys to do
farm work to earn their way is
excellent. We predict that director
Arthur R. Merrill will have more
applications than he knows what
to do with. Success to Lyndon
Institute in its new departure.

1t is sometimes urged against the
trunk highway idea that the heavy
outlay involved would be principally
for the benefit of Automobiles,
either local or tourist, while the
burden would be upon the general
taxpayer. This is true only in a
measure. Good through roads bless
everybody. 1t is a poor argument
against them that they would be
especially welcome to motorists
If Vermont were to neglect her
duty through a mere prejudice of
this kind, she would figure exceed
ingly small, even in her own esti-
nation. Another thing-the motor
vehicles are paying a large and
rapidly increasing state revenue,
that will amount this year to prob
ably $4,000. This is ordinarily
annual interest on half a million
dollars. Much of the money in
vested in automobiles paid no local
taxes, so that town grand lists are
not suffering in consequence. AS
the motor tax revenues go for per-
manent benefit of the highways,
according to the letter and spirit
of the law, it is proper to ask that
a special system be planned to
assure the best results, in time,
rather than to have the revenue
frittered away, or to put in here and
there without any general scheme
in view.

A MISSIONARY SCHOONER.
One Was Presented to Pastor Russell
- For Harbor Work.


[From the New York Times, June l. 1901
The Rev. G. T. Russell of Brooklyn
received a surprise on his arrival on
the Cunard liner Lusitania yesterday.
His friends presented to him two
masted schooner for missionary work
in and about this port.
They not only gave him the receipt
for the craft, but she was waiting
alongside the Cunard pier with many
flags flying as a welcome to her new
owner. From one mast to another was
strung a long canvas bearing the In
Bcription God Is Love" and the name
of the schooner, the Angel. There
were other inscriptions of a religious
character waving in the wind.
