According to a current news item
Clifford B. Harmon, New York aero
naut, said in lecture before the Passa-
dena Chamber of Commerce that the
day of the battleship had passed. No
nation, he said, would dare to send a
fleet to our shores on a hostile mission
with so many masters of the air ready
to meet it,
at has already been demonstrated. -
said Mr.. Harmon, that one balloon or
aeroplone can carry enough explosives
to annihilate any fleet in the world,
while the warships would be powerless
to protect themselves. The aeroplane
has not yet reached it's full state of eff
cheney, but now it insures the safety of
our coasts against hostile invasion. "
Mr.. Harmon may be correct in his
statement, but there are evidently some
countries which have not tumbled to the
fact; for intsance, England and Ger
many, who seem to be having race in
the building of modern Dreadnauts.
Mr.. Harmon should lose no time in ac-
quainting these, and other countries of
his discovery. So far we have failed to
hear of an airship venturing very far
out to sea.

The Leadership of China.

In recent address before the Uni
tartan club of Boston, Prof. Albert
Bushnell Hart of Harvard, who has just
returned from trip around the globe,
predicted that before many years China
would lead the world in power and civil
ization. Christian schools there have
played an important part in the educa-
tional revolution now going on in the
empire. DR.. Percy T. Watson, one of
the youngest of the American Board
medical missionaries in Shansi, writes
that the mission academy for boys in
Fenchow, his headquarters, has over
five times the applicants that can be
received, although there are eight new
government schools in that one city.
Nearly every temple in the place has
been turned into school, and the eX-
animation halls where the old Chinese
literati received their degrees, have
been converted into cloth factory. A
teacher in this academy, Mr.. Watts O.
Pye, another new recruit of the Ameri-
can Board, was offered about three times
his present salary if he would teach
English two hours day in a govern
ment school. The officials find it diff
cult to secure good teachers even at
large salaries, and in spite of the fact
that some of them have been educated
in Japan.
1t is recognized that our Christian
schools turn out superior quality of
men, both morally and mentally, and
the advantages are eagerly sought. 1t
was great compliment when govern
ment school teacher in a town sixteen
miles from Fenchow came and asked for
position in the academy, saying that he
was dissatisfied with his life and wanted
something better He is a Chinese de-
gree man, and his father holds an of
flee in neighboring province equal in
Importance to that of lieutenant gov
ernor. When the boys go home for
vacation people remark upon the change
in them. Many fathers beg to have
their sons kept through the summer va
cation, that they may be saved from evil
surroundings, and offer to pay all ex-
penses with something in addition. Dr.
Watson says: 1--WE do not force relig-
ion upon our school boys, but most of
the older ones are already church mem
bers. They seize every opportunity on
Saturday afternoons and Sundays to go
to sing and help the native preachers
Some spent their entire summer at their
own expense at our outstations trying
to help, and we are told that they have
shown great ability, preaching nearly
as effectively as their elders. They are
just now coming back to school full of
life and energy and it does one good to
think what it will mean when they get
their education.

Middlebury Register:
In a special message, of recent date,
the President deplores deficit in the
Post Office Department of $63, 000 600
and recommends that remedial meas
ures should be adopted by Congress.
This shortage, he claims, is owing
largely to the fact that it costs, on an
average, nine cents a pound to carry
second class mail 1.-THE figures given
are startling" he says, "and show the
payment by the Government of an
enormous subsidy to the newspapers,
magazines and periodicals. To the
lay mind his recommendation is the
most painful and startling" thing con-
nected with the subject.
The expense of transporting first
class express matter is only two and
one-half cents per pound; and if it costs
nine cents pound to transport second
class mail, post Office clerk hire nclud-
ed, it would seem that the enormous
subsidy slips off somewhere on the
The press receives no subsidy; nor,
properly speaking, has the Post Office
Department any deficity if it has, so
has the Department of Agriculture.
Should Secretary Wilson, therefore, be
curtailcd in his good work, because his
legitimate expenses are more than his
receipts? How penny-wise to demand
that any great department of the gov
eminent should be run otherwise than
with ecoeomy, and for the purpose of
meeting the wants of the people.
One cent pound is the present post
age on second class mail; to make it
nine times as much to inject the de-
felt" would be unwise and suicidal; for
in that event many local, scientific and
religious papers would go to the wall.
To make flour so high as to be prohib-
itory, would be a national calamity; to
cause by national legislation that the
press should be crippled by an exorbit-
ant mail-tariff would also be national
calamity. AS a people we should enter
our protest.
Our good President, generally wise in
his councils, should not in this instance
be upheld in his implied recommends
ton for higher rate of postage on the
issues of the press. Let the voice of
the people be heard by our senators and
Representatives. Write them.

We have received a communication
from Mrs. Annette Parmlee of Enos-
burg Falls entitled "Why Women

ion is more space than the Importance

simply an advertisement for the

Congressman Foster, sometimes
called Foxy Dave" is securing many
pats on the back because he has public
ly declared himself in opposition to
Speaker Cannon. 1t is reasonably safe
to say that Foster never would have
taken this step had he not been fully
convinced that it was for his interest to
do so. The respected David is rather
long-headed and generally knows on
which side of his bread the butter re-
poses, hence the sudden shift. We may
judge from his action that, in his opin-
ion, the days of Cannon as Speaker are
numbered.

Railroads are compelled to build de-
pots put on extra trains, equip their
trains with modern conveniences, etc. ~,
when it is considered for the public
good that they should. Publishing time
tables in newspapers is certainly pub
lie good. If Vermont newspapers are in
the "exacting" business it is time the
public knew it. Publishers have regular
rates for advertising. Railroads would
be asked to pay these rates, no more
and no less. Notwithstanding the Her.
AIDS dissenting opinion, we still think
that compelling railroads to publish time
tables is good idea. AS to the pay
ment, it is immaterial whether payment
is made in cash or in milaege provided
the mileage is made good for bearer, the
same as other mileage. Where the pub
Usher used to get skinned was on his
editorial mileage which could not be dis
posed of for cash. If he didn't ride
nights and Sundays, he had good bunch
of mileage at the end of the year which
figured in the waste basket. Bellows

DIN Merrill's decision not to be a
candidate for the governorship before
the state convention in June because of
i'll health will disappoint large num-
Der of citizens who had hoped that
with the Enosburg man in the field a
larger interest in the campaign would
result. 1t is useless to deny that at the
present time the personal element is the
only factor of any prominence, no is
sues have been brought forward for dis
cussion, no plans for the future good of
the state have been advanced in connec-
ton with the aspirations of the men in
the field. There is nothing particularly
dangerous in the situation but it is GER

city as desirable winter resort. Pro-

way of Montpeliers ambitious plans, we
fear, will be the avarice of the hotel
