The Champlain Memorial.

Inc Lake Onamplaln lercentenary
Commission are to be congratulated on
their ability to arrive at decision with
reference to the location of monument
as permanent memorial to Samuel
Champlain. At meeting of the Com
mission in Burlington last Saturday the
following resolution was passed:
Resolved, that the committee ON a
permanent memorial be instructed to
secure designs and estimates for a
permanent memorial to Champlain to be
located on Rock Dunder with a view Of
determining the ACCESSIBILITY of erecting
a Vermont Champlain memorial on that
site, the report to be made to the com
mission not later than Thursday. MAY
3, 1910. "
1t must be stated frankly that the
selection of Rock Dunder as site for
the monument is not ideal In the first
place there are no historical associations
connected with that location. 1t is a
bare, rugged rock, sticking up in the
lake just outside of Burlington harbor,
mile from the nearest mainland and
about three miles from the steamboat
wharf. In lake filled with historical
memories it is a pity that some site
known to every reader of history, and
in some wav connected with French
occupancy of the region, could not have
been chosen.
1t is also TO be regretted that New
York and Vermont, the states which
joined so tremendously in the celebra-
ton OF last summer, could not have
agreed upon some joint memorial But
the selection by the New York Commits
sion of site as far from the Vermont
shore as any spot which could have
been found, in the door yard of the
Bluff Point hotel has made Vermont
cooperation impossible The RESPONSE
biity for two monuments where one
would have been in every way more
fitting must rest upon the New York
Commission, for the Vermont commits
sioners have shown all possible patience
in endeavoring to arrive at harmonious
action.
Under the circumstances, therefore,
the Vermont Commission have probably
taken the wisest possible course and
the sentiment of the State will sustain
them. Rock Dunder is "A suitable site
for memorial of a sailor and explorer,
being located in the lake itself and not
in the midst of city. A monument
there in the very heart of the lake with
the grandest mountains of this region
in full view on either side, will be one
of the most unique objects on the Amer
lean continent 1t will be in plain sight
from the city of Burlington and no
traveller along the railway will fail to
observe it. Every boat traversing the
lake must pass before it. The Commits
sion evidently contempates counsel
from the best artists in the selection of
suitable monument to crown this
unique creation of nature. Vermont
will expect something that will express
the best artistic taste, and the SIS, 900
in the hands of the Commission should
be sufficient to secure it.

Outside the Theater.
John Hare, the eminent English

The Messenger is glad to assure it's
esteemed friend, The Newport Express
and Standard that in regretting the en-
ployment of an army of paid canvassers
and press bureau in the present can
vass for the Republican nomination for
governor this paper does not purpose to
condone any similar features of past
campaigns. Indeed, if the memory of
the contemporary were refreshed about
the policy of this paper since this meth
cd of making the canvass becameYfa-
miliar, it would discover that The Mes
senger's present day attitude was fairly
consistent, at least, with its past record.
1t is contending for the recognition of a
principle, more than for the defeat of
election of any man or men, when it
argues this point, and it intends to be
found true to its own convictions at all
times. st. Adams Messenger.

NO MONEY CAMPAIGN.

The people of Vermont may disagree
about taxation remedies, and the best
method of securing good roads and
about various other live issues before
the public at the present time, but they
are fully agreed that the use of money
on a wholesale scale to secure thejgov-
ernorship of the Green Mountain State
will not be tolerated. The chief and over
shadowing issue in the campaign for
the republican nomination for the gov
ernorship this year will be the people
VS.. money. The man who seeks to pave
his way to the governorship with money
will invite defeat at the very outset.
Nor do the people need to be told when
money is being used. Men do not us
uallv rise up aud go about the State
paying their own expenses and hiring
others to work for any man. If the
people of Vermont keep their eyes open
they will always be able to tell what
candidate for governor is relying on
money, without being told by others.
If crusade against money campaign
conflicts with the interests of any can
didate it is so much worse for the can
didate, whoever he may be- Free

HOLDING Their WHEAT.
Farmers Piling Wheat on Ground for
Better Prices.

Lindsborg, Kan, Aug. 2s.-Some of the
papers have been telling about wheat
piled along the railroad tracks. 1t is true
that wheat is being piled on the ground
but not at the stations, it was three
years ago. Then there was a car famine.
There is no car famine now.
The farmers for the most part are hold
ing their wheat. Many have not enough
bin room to store the crop SO they simply
pile it on the ground. There is still plen-
ty of outdoor room. Why don't they sell
it? Well, in the first place, they are not
in need Of money. Their automobiles are
paid for. They have plenty of other re-
sources. Then they are not willing to sell
for 80 cents. They believe prices will be
better.
Almost seventy-five cars of wheat ar
rive daily on the Missouri Pacific The
mills here use about fifteen of these and
the rest goes to larger markets. One
local elevator company has capacity OF
200 600 bushels. The mills here grind 5,00(
bushels a day Piling wheat on the ground
is no new thing in Kansas. Many times
there have been car famincs. Many times
farmers have not help enough nor time
to haul the grain to the station. Very
little of the wheat gets damaged. A
heavy rain will only wet the grain in an
inch or two. This soon dries, leaving the
outside just a little bleached, but other
wise as good ever.
