The question Of the disposal by a soldier
Of his uniform clothing is always a trOub-
lesOme one. The title Of the soldier TO
clothing drawn in a current enlistment is
difficult, but becomes complete at the date
of his separation from the service IN the
operation OF an honorable discharge A
soldier who had re-enlisted recently sold
pair OF shoes obtained during his pre-
vious enlistment and claimed the right TO
the property and the privilege OF its dis
pOlal. AS the public at large cannot read
lily distinguish between two articles OF
clothing offered for sale, one of which
being his property the soldier may legally
dispose Of and the other being a part OF
his current allowance he may not so dis
pose Of It is difficult to suggest a rule
which would apply in all cases. 1t 10 evil

ticles OF regulation clothing which a soldier
has drawn in a previous enlistment, and 10
which his title Is fully accrued, may be

ton Of sales within the limits of the mill
tary reservation. outside the reservation,
where the authority and jurisdiction OF the
post commander ceases such sales may

a partial remedy that sales Of clothing OF
the class above described shall only be

What Was He Afraid of

Edgar Howard calls attention to one
feature Of the Hitchcock partnership
with BARLEY which should not be over
looked. After repudiating his note
with excuse that it had outlawed while
BARLEY was in the penitentiary, Hitch
cock later compromised the claim
which he said he was under no obliga-
ton to pay But before Hitchcock
would pay a dollar of the debt he owed
"he made it a condition that BARLEY
should return to him every scrap of a
letter or telegram which he had ever
sent to the state treasurer"
Why did Hitchcock buy back the
letters If he did not know them to be
discriminating?
If his relations with BARLEY were
perfectly straight and honorable, what
was he afraid Of?

There are indications that the flying ma
chine will come up in congress for ANNA
ted discussion. Hitherto the sentiment in
the house and senate has had to be in
Voked by some of the extraordinary meas
ures to get anything in the form of an al
lotment in the appropriation bills which
would permit the acquisition of mechanism
for the military-naval tests in aviation.
Now Representative Hobson. member Of
the house naval committee has made
known his intention to assist Mr. Hull
chairman of the house military committee
in a general provision. which shall give
the army and navy an opportunity for
something like adequate experimentation
In mechanical flight with view to ascer-
tanning to what extent and in what direc-
tion the aeroplanes will be of military
value. 1t is now considered that the flying
machine has reached stage in it's devel-
opment justifying this provision. And
while naval officers are by no means in
agreement as to the necessity of consider
ing the subject in the light of a menace to
the fleet, there is a realization also that
the sooner or later provision must be made
against the possibility OF effective aerial
attack. IL is not without the bounds of
the entirely possible that the accurate
direction Of fire OF one or another form
from the aeroplane would lead to a revOlu-
ton in the design OF battleshps such as
the requirement OF an armored deck and
the installation OF guns capable Of repelling
the skyward enemy. AS to the dirigible,
no such significant demonstration has been
manifested. The aeroplane appears to pro-
vide the necessity OF some new features
Of attack and defense.

The War department withholds its APP
prevail Of the draft Of state OF Wyoming
Hesitation submitted by Chaplain George
C. StulL Eleventh infantry, by which
means Il was proposed to charge the state
with the duty OF maintaining a public
school on the military reservation at Fort
d. A. Russell but TO vest the entire CON
troll OF such school In the school authOri-
ties OF the state, all matters connected
with the selection and appointment OF
teachers, the regulation Of the course OF
study, and the control VI pupils being
vested in the state to the exclusion OF
the post authorities and OF the parents Of
the children. II appears that children re-
siding on the reservation can now
attend the schools in the city Of Cheyenne.
The objections to such attendance are re-
garded by the military authorities as
trivial and as applying with equal force
to the attendance OF children in the public
schools OF Washington, ID. c., for in
stance. 1t IL held by the war department
that it Is in the highest degree ineNpedient
to permit officers and enlisted men at
military post to pass into the jurisdiction
Of the county school board. Conflicts OF
jurisdiction and policy are sure to arise
which II would be beyond the power Of
the War department to settle, The plan is,
therefore, not approved.
The tentative proposition. prepared by
the general staff Of the War department,
for the transfer OF regiments from this
country to the Philippines and Hawaii has
been completed and will be laid aside until
the return to washington Of the secretary
Of war. The general plan is an important
one, involving ultimately a possible in
crease Of the military force in the
Hawaiian islands II p evident that the
army cannot be reduced in the Philippines.
especially In view OF the prevalence OF
more or less trouble in the Moro country.
1t does not look from present indications.
as If 1t would be possible to diminish, to
any extent, the period allotted to regiments
in their tours OF duty in the United States.
The need of maintaining at least the pres
ent military strength in the Philippines
and the prospect Of a large force in the
Hawaiian islands, in anticipation Of the
completion Of the Panama canal, combine
TO furnish the best OF reasons for an in
crease in the army. The question of the
transfer of troops in 1911 is, therefore in
volved with policy which takes It out OF
the class OF the merely routine. The situa-
ton will be among the first subjects to
be taken up by Mr.. Dickinson on his re-
turn to Washington. In the meantime
orders have been issued for the departure
of the Eighth cavalry from San francisco
! on the transport OF December g. with the
exception Of two troops, which will remain
| at Fort Robinson, one troop at Fort Hua-
chuca and one troop at Fort Apache, where
they will remain until the arrival Of the
Twelfth cavalry, which leaves Manila on
January 10. This should make II possible
for the troops to sail from San francisco
on the transport Of March g.

THE BOSTON AERO MEET.
Greatest Event of the Kind Ever
Held in This Country. From
Sept. 3 to Sept. ID.

sept. to sept. 13.
The Harvard Boston aero meet,
which viii be held at Atlantic from
September to Ii. viii be the
biggest event of the kind ever held
in the country and in some respects
will outrival the great meets that
have been held abroad For at this
meet will be seen not only the very
latest aeroplanes, including mono
planes, biplanes and triplanes, but
the largest number, as well as the
largest sized balloons ever assembled
on one field in the United States. Be-
sides the spherical balloons there will
be a division of dirigible balloons,
and man-bearing kites will also con-
test
The greatest interest will probably
center in the aeroplane contests,
which will be between bipIanes and
monoplanes, although Roe, the Eng
lish aviator, will fly triplane. The
progress made in these heavier-than
air machines and the sensational
flights by Bleriot, Paulham, Grahame-
White and others in Europe the past
few months, and the flights byGlenn
FL. Curtiss, Hamilton Brookins, john
stone and the Wright brothers in this
country within year have astonish-
ed the world.
The most exciting of these contests
at the Harvard-BOston meet will be
for the Boston Globe $4,000 cash
prize for the fastest continuous fight
from the Harvard aviation field at
Atlantic to Soldiers field, Brighton,
where, after a turn around the Sta
dunn, the machines must head for
Boston light, 16 miles away, and re-
turn to the Harvard aviation field
without making any stops on the way.
The prize will go to the aviator who
can make the circuit between these
points in the fastest time. The dis
lance around the course is approx
mately % statute miles. The fight
for this prize will be between Glenn
H. CurtisS, who won the $4,000
prize for a flight from Albany to New
York; the Wright brothers of Day
ton, O., and some of the Frenchmen
White, the English aviator, may en-
ter this contest.
Besides this there will be a $4,000
bomb-dropping contest from various
attitudes on the deck of an improv-
ised battleship that will be located
on the field. There will be an alti-
tude contest for aeroplanes, with
three prizes of $4,000, one of
$4,000 and one of $1,000. There
will be speed contest each day for
aeroplanes. In this contest there are
also three prizes of the same amounts.
Whoever breaks the worlds record
will get $1,000 extra. Then there
are getaway and alighting contests
for aeroplanes, with prizes, and alti-
tude and distance contests for spheri-
cal balloons and time and distance
contests for dirigible balloons.

Join the Commercial Club.

The securing of 100000 manu-
featuring enterprise for ST. Johns
bury by the Commercial club is a
striking demonstration of the value
of such an organization to a COM
munity. 1t was an achievement that
was possible only to such an or
ganization. No individual or bust
ness house could have given the time
and money necessary to secure
pledges for $4,000 worth of pre-
ferred stock and this organization
was obliged to hire solicitor to do
it. That of course required money,
in fact nearly all the money the club
has at it's disposal, and unless new
funds can be supplied the activity of
the club will be limited for the rest
of the year. No member of the club
is receiving compensation for the
time he is devoting to the work and
the members of the executive COM
mittee are giving large amount of
time. For these reasons the club is
asking for a material increase in its
membership and it is hoped that
every individual who believes in the
development of st. Johnsbury will
send his application for membership
and the fee of SIS to Gilbert E.
Woods, the treasurer. Help the club
to help you and the town.

SenseIess auto Laws.

Here is a news paragraph from the
Boston Transcript that points it's
moral for Vermonters as we'll as for
Massachusetts people:-
Automobiles of Massachusetts
are more or less surprised over the
ruling just made by Attorney Gen
eral Edward r. O'MaIIey of New
York, that motorists with licenses in
this state are not entitled to drive
their cars in New York without a Ii
cense of that state. The same ruling
applies to Vermont and Connecticut.
The ruling comes under the new law
which went into effect August l.
w. A. Thibodeau of the Automobile
Legal association is of the opinion,
based upon the few facts at hand,
that the New York attitude arises
from the Massachusetts law limiting
New York motorists to only ten days
in any one year in this state without
a Massachusetts license, which prob
ably is not regarded by New York as
real reciprocity, or friendly"
1t seems to-the Messenger that any
thing like law here in Vermont that
tends to discourage auto travel from
other states by imposing needless re-
strictions as to limit of stay or cost
of license or in any other way putting
obstacles in the way of the freest in
terchange of interstate visits and
courtesy is absurdly short-sighted
in policy and un-American in spirit

Railroad Earnings.

1t is a noteworthy fact that repre-
Sentatives of railroads, in presenting
their arguments in attempted justifi-
cation of the proposed advance in
freight rates, lay heavy stress on the
increased expenditures of the roads,
but studiously avoid reference to in
creased earnings. At official hearings
they are, of course, unable to escape
the embarrassing necessity Of stating
both sides of the ledger; but only a
very small proportion of the public
is in attendance at those hearings,
and the proportion which studies into
the published accounts of them is
also comparatively small. It may not
be out of order, therefore, to call at
tention to the fact that thirty-four
roads have reported weekly gross
earnings to the Wall Street Journal
for the third week of August of $12,-
627,324, an increase of $1,135, 164,
or 9.88 per cent, as compared with
the corresponding period last year.
This, bear in mind, is the increase
for single month over the earnings
for the corresponding month one
year ago. Reckoning at that average
rate for twelve months, these thirty
four roads would show gross earn
ings for this year of $151, 527.88, or
an increase of $13, 621,168 over the
earnings of last year. 1t will prob
ably be difficult for the average OBJ
railroad earnings are increasing at
that rate per annum, it should be
| necessary to advance freight rates in
| order to save the railroads from
| bankruptcy.-[Ma Manchester Union.

Langley Had the Courage.

when the Barre Times bolts the
head of the republican state ticket
it must be with the pretty certain
knowledge that Publisher Frank Z.
Langley is not likely to be renom-
mated for commissioner of state
printing. The Times has the cour-
age of it's convictions at any rate, :"
says the ST. Adams Messenger.
Publisher Langley has been en-
tirely consistent in his attitude and
the fact has certainly not lowered
him in the estimation of the public
The same cannot be said of the pub
fishers of some Vermont journals,
whose sudden flop after the state
convention and subsequent attitude
has not placed them in an enviable
light. Mr.. Langley has proved a
valuable official, has saved money for
the state and has acquired expert
ence, which a new incumbent in the
position would have to spend some
time in acquiring. He should be re-
tanned in Office for that reason, but
if he is not he will gain more than
he will lose, for respect for a man
who has "the courage of his convic-
tions," is universal.-[ Montpelier
