Thirty militiamen, members OF

sidewalk in front of the Alexander

a former mayor Of Cairo, lay for three
hours dying beside the courthouse
steps, with the temperature few de.

time Sheriff Nellis, acting on orders
received by telephone from Governor
Deneen, refused to permit any one to
remove the wounded man or to allow
physician to enter the enclosure

that death had come only a short

Eight of the - deputy sheriffs
whose shots killed Halliday and
wounded others were negroes. This
fact was not definitely known to the
crowd which stormed the court house,
but it was suspected and the SUPPOSE

The deadly volley which the sheriff's
men fired from the windows of the

the first floor of the court house was
fired in answer to scattering shots
from the crowd, and after the depu-

select committee or commission app
pointed by the governor.
1.-THE Standard believes thorough
" in assisting to a reasonable ex-
tent the higher institutions of learn
ing in this state, but it should be on
a business basis entirely, and the
state should be in position to know
at all times, the amount of money
expended and for what purposes.
Until the University of Vermont
meets the situation along these lines,
we believe it is time for the Legisla-
ture to call halt before appropriate
ing further amounts of money"
That seems pretty sound doctrine
as far as it goes. Our only sugges-
ton is that it should go farther and
include Middlebury College and Nor
wich University.
To our mind there is much merit
in the bill introduced by DR.. Bryant
of Ludlow providing for teacher
training courses in high schools and
academies, the provisions of which
taken from the Montpelier Journal
and published in another column.
This provision would enable any one
desiring instruction in the art of
teaching an opportunity to get near
er home and consequently at less ex-
pense than under present conditions.
If the state would also withdraw its
annual appropriation of 100000 to
the normal schools it could actually
save money and at the same time
secure a larger and better trained
force of teachers for the rural
schools. Both of these changes
would be to the advantage of the
state. 1t would seem to us much
wiser course than the purchase of
the school property at Castleton be-
cause this institution in the past has
failed to give satisfactory results
owing to it's location and we fail to
see how state ownership would i'm
prove it's location.
There would seem to be an oppor-
tunity for the educational commit
tees Of the legislature to make very
thorough investigation of state aid
to privately owned and controlled
educational institutions and to re-
organize the whole system in a way
that would give the state more bene-
fit from it's money than it is now re-
ceiving.

Franklin and Caledonia.

A careful reading and analysis of
the figures contained in the report of
State Highway Commissioner Gates,
Just issued, throws some light on a
perplexing question. That question
was why the two good roads tours,
conducted by parties from Franklin
and Caledonia counties respectively,
led to such different conclusions on
the part of the investigators. Those
from Franklin county we're more
firmly convinced than ever of the
necessity of the adoption of a policy
looking to a system of trunk lines,
while their Caledonia brethren, &C
cording to the testimony of the st.
Johnsbury Ca1edonian, were con-
tented and happy over road con-
ditions as they are or as they ap-
peared upon. their trip through their
portion of Vermont.
The best evidence of public inter
est in the good roads movement in
any section is the amount OF money
voluntarily raised by taxation, aside
from the 5 per cent. highway tax, to
secure state aid for permanent roads.
In 1910 Caledonia county towns
voted $500, and Franklin county
towns $4,000, nearly twice as much.
Caledonia has 1,196 miles of road,
Franklin county 1866. In 1903 only
one town and in 1910 only two towns
in Caledonia county raised as high
as $500; while in Franklin county
nine towns in 1909 and ten towns in
1910 raised that amount. In Frank
lin county for those two years there
was only one town, Bakersfield, that
did not contribute, while in Gale
donna county five towns in 1903 and
six towns in 1910 did not raise a
dollar. In fact, as far as the state
aid law is concerned, Caledonia, next
to Addison and Windham counties,
seems to have the least interest in
the good roads movement.
This shows one of two things,
either the natural conditions of the
soil in Caledonia are such that it
does not need much money to build
roads there, or Caledonia does not
know what good roads are. A re-
cent trip by the writer through
portion of Caledonia county did not
indicate but what good deal of
money could be proftably expended
in improving the highways. st.
Johnsbury village has roads to be
proud of, but this cannot be said OF
all parts of the county. Franklin
county has several sections OF excel
lent highway, but when we contem-
plate the eighteen miles OF main
highway from Enosburgh Falls to st.
Adams, which, with the exception of
a few miles, is no better than it was
eighteen years ago, when the present
highway law was first enacted, we
are led to wonder, if the same pro-
portionate advance is made in the
future, whether the present genera
ton will live to see the fruition of its
hopes.-[ Enosburg Standard.

PRESS COMMENT.
Senator Pages Reelection.

Senator Pages Reelection.
Two years service as successor to
the late RedfieId Proctor and to John
w. Stewart has given United States
Senator Carroll S. Page of Vermont
good start in the national legisla-
tive councils, and the coming term of
six years, to which he was elected
today, cannot fail to bring new OPP
portunities for enlarged service in
the upper branch of Congress. The
death of Senator Dolliver of Iowa
will bring Senator Page nearer to
the top of the important committee
on agriculture and forestry, which
is likely to be more prominent be-
cause of the impending struggle over
conservation. Senator Page will
now be the sixth member of that
comittee. In addition, Senator
Page is member of the committees
on industrial expositions, Indian af-
fairs, expenditures in the depart
ment of agriculture, to examine the
several branches of the civil service,
claims and standards, weights and
measures, of which last named COM
mittee he is chairman. If The Times
is correctly informed from Washing
ton, the dominant feature of Senator
Pages work has been his desire for
thoroughness in the details which
come to his allotment, and, too, a
purpose to get at the fundamentals
of things before casting his vote and
influence to the one side or the other.
AS a representative of Vermont, he
thus reflects the. sentiment of his
constituents, who wish for a clear
cut understanding before being COM
mitted to a cause. They will COM
mend Seator Page for going slowly,
instead of joining thoughtlessly after
the leaders; and they will hope for
and expect increased service in pro-
portion as the opportunities unfold to
a senator with added years in the
national body Barre Times.

Educational Agitation.

There are signs of a healthy edu-
cational spirit in the state of YER
mont that result in placing the
state on better business basis in its
aid to various educational institu-
tions. In line with the editorial in
THE CALIFORNIAN last week the
Enosburg Standard states that it is
time to call halt in appropriating
money for new buildings at the Uni
versity of Vermont saying that it be-
heves it is time for an accounting
of the University for the agricultural
fund so that the state of Vermont
may understand it's financial inter
ests in that institution. 1t says
further:-
1--WE believe that the past policy
of the University in regard to not
publishing the conditions of its
finances is all wrong, and that the
state, which contributes so literally
to the maintenance and growth of
this institution, should have a report
biennially to the governor showing
its exact financial condition. Be
fore any other contributions are
made from the state treasury, the
whole matter of the agricultural
fund should be investigated by
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1910-11-02

1t now transpires that the North
Pole was discovered by friar of Ok
ford in the year of 1860. At least
that is the record written
in an old history published
in 1857 by John Entick in Lon
don and recently unearthed in
the navy department. That rather
takes the glory from Cook and Peary
but the story may be discredited be-
cause neither Cook or Peary found
any Of the friar's tracks at the pole in
1909. There is little occasion to dis
prove the record however, and the
discovery of the pole once in $40
years may be allowable, -tin the in
terests of science" Juding from the
paucity of advantages that have
come from these northern expedi-
tions we may have to wait $40 years
longer to discover what their value
to science is.
