January Club Meeting.
Address on 'sSome Practical Phases of Edu-
cation',. By Miss HaII.

cationps By Miss Hail.
The January meeting of the st. Johns
bury Womans Club at Pythian hall.
Monday afternoon was well attended
and one of the most social of the year.
The president announced that 100 of
the Christmas stamps issued by the YER
mont Federation were sold in ST. Johns
bury. At the annual Gentlemen's Night
In February members of the club will
present the operetta, THE Japanese Girl
under the direction of Mrs. M. L. Eklof
and Mrs B. c. Peters. The social commit
tee asked for an appropriation of $50 for
that evening and 1t was voted them. As
the meeting will be held in the evening
the club voted to suspend section two,
article one of the bylaws.
Mrs Gertrude T. Ranlet has resigned
as chairman OF the introduction commit
tee and is succeeded by Mrs. Clarence NJ.
Berry. The only music of the afternoon
was a piano solo by Miss Alice B. Warden
which was greatly enjoyed.
The education committee, Mrs. Edith r.
Braley, chairman, had arranged the pro-
gram which consisted of talk by Miss
Elizabeth Hall, supervisor of primary
schools in Schenectady, n. Y on the
subject, "Some Practical Phases of Ed
ucation." She referred prettily to St.
Johnsbury Academy, of which she was a
graduate, as an ideal private academy.
Her talk was an earnest plea for the edu-
cation of the hand as well as the brain
and she urged that manual work begin
in the lower grades as so few bows and
girls reach the upper grades. Miss Hall
is an enthusiast in her profession and her
talk which was practical and inspiring,
was listened to with close attention.
After the program the club members
and their guests, who included a large
number of teachers remained to meet
Miss Hall and to enjoy a social hour over
the teacups as guests of the social COM
n1ittee

In spite OF the persistent efforts of
trouble breeders who have been bend
ing every effort to estrange the presi-
dent and former president, the state.
ments given out from Beverly and
Oyster Bay must dispel all doubt as TO
the substantial harmony of purpose of
Mr.. Taft and Colonel Roosevelt.
The dissension within. the repub-
lican party in New York over which
the two national leaders were said to
be in disagreement was merely one
phase of the fight between Governor
Hughes and the New York state or
ganization over primary legislation.
The primary election bill recon-
mended by Governor Hughes, as is
well known, had been repeatedly
blocked, and the enlistment of Colonel
Roosevelt's influence on the governors
side is what led to his rejection for
the position Of temporary chairman Of
the New York state convention.
President Taft's letter leaves no
doubt where his sympathies have been
and are in this controversy It proves
that while he would have preferred
to avoid what has actually occurred,
he not only had no hand in bringing
1t about, but had taken positive steps
ia persuade the leaders to get to-
gether. The president goes even
further when he expresses the opinion
that. the, selection of Vice President
Sherman for temporary presiding off,
over Colonel Roosevelt is mistake
that ought to be corrected.
So far as Colonel Roosevelt is con-
cerned it goes without saying that he
will find way to take care of himself
In the politics of his own state, and
that his repulse in the first skirmish
is no safe indication of what the final
outcome will be- This much, how
ever, is reasonably certain-that in
New York state politics, and probably
throughout the country, President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt, 80 far as
they take part at all, will be found
working together and aiming in the
same direction.

turn to the thoughts of every man who
looks backward as we'll as forward.
The Dog and the shadow.

Il happened once that a dog had got
piece of meat and was carrying IT home
in his mouth to eat II in peace. Now on
his way home he had to cross a plank
lying across a running brook. As he
crossed. he looked down and saw his own
shadow reflected in the water beneath.
Thinking 1t was another dog with an
other piece Of meat. r q made up his mind
to nave that also So he made snap at
the shadow in the water, but as he opened
his mouth the piece of meat fell out,
dropped into the water and was never
seen more.
Moral: Beware lest you lose the sub
stance by grasping at the shadow
Aesops Fables.
The philosophy of good old Aesop
has not become so Anticipated that it
does not find modern application even
in these twentieth century days.
1t happened once that Nebraska had
democratic governor who was as
sured of denomination and was walt
ing. only for the primary to be held to
be again proclaimed by the democrats
to be their standard bearer. AS he
looked around he saw a small group OF
populists whose nomination he COW
eted, and thinking he might as we'll
have two nominations as one, he took
a mighty oath that he was also a popu-
list as we'll as a democrat, although he
was careful to save the second filing
fee and keep it in his own pocket. BY
having his name put on the populist
ballot in addition to the democratic
ballot, some of his friends voted for
him as a populist thereby subtracting
their votes from those cast for him
as a democrat, and 10 and behold,
when the figures we're footed up, 1t
was found that he had missed the dem
ocratic nomination by his greed to get
the populist nomipation.
NQral: Beware lest you lose the
substance by grasping at the shadow.

Assimilation of Korea.

Nearly every war makes changes in
our geographical charts, although the
changes are not all consummated at
once The assimilation of Korea by
Japan is an outgrowth of the war with
Russia in which control of Korea was
one of the fruits of victory awarded
to Japan.
For three years the Japanese gov
eminent has been maintaining a semi
protectorate over Korea ostensibly for
the purpose of ascertaining by ex-
pertinent what sort of control would
be the most suitable to the people of
the Hermit Kingdom. But it has taken
only three years to reach the point
where the Japanese feel sufficient
self-assurance to blot Korea off the
map as a separate country and to
substitute Japanese authority abso-
lutely for the authority exercised con-
ditionally by the emperor of Korea
and his higher officials.
The assimilation Of Korea by Japan
will be a change chiefly of form of
government rather than in the seat
of power, because the Koreans long
ago lost their independence of action
and have been subject to Japan since
even before the signing Of the Ports
mouth treaty. According to best OBJ
servers Korean independence was fore
doomed no matter what the outcome
of the war because, had Japan lost
Russia would without question have
stepped in and seized Korea as It's
prize.
So far as the United States is con-
cerned it is not called on to interpose
any more than any other foreign
power with territorial interests in the
far east, and in all probability it will
find it easier to hold Japan account
able for Korea than to have dealt with
an irresponsible Korean government
without ability to discharge interna.
tional obligations.

OF this busy, modern day.
Yet with them all I'm not In chime;
With prices on the wing ".E

A saying most absurd Is
When the whole Is said and done.

Are worth in any land,
Three times as much as any thrush

For sheer nonsense through and through
There's lots of things that one can do
Today that | recall,
BY waiting for tomorrow YOU

Well. that proverb makes me- laugh;
One doesn't need much learning
To discern that II Is chaff.
The truth is really otherwise

Measuring the Pace.

The Introductory editorial in the
current Worlds Work marshals and
contrasts some interesting facts help
full in measuring the pace at which the
world has been moving. What is at.
tempted is a glimpse here and there
back ten years, which most people re-
gard as a comparatively short period
of time.
Ten year ago, We are reminded, We
had open war of railroad rates and
free passes on the railroads. The in
terstate commerce law was practically
a dead letter and the commission was
harmless bureau OF statistics. The
real regulation OF railroads, to say
nothing OF other large corporations,
was regarded as a mere threat of i'm
practicable radicalism.
Ten years ago, we are again re-
minded, we were at war In the Philip
pines and Aguinaldo's rebellion had
provoked a sympathetic rebellion In
and about Boston, while many persons
regarded Imperialism as the over
shadowing great question of our flu
ture. President Mckinley was pic
tured in cartoons as an emperor. The
democratic party was what Mr.. Bryan
commanded it to be.
Ten years ago. we are still further
reminded, the Panama canal, the great
reclamation work In the west, the
policy of conservation, the change OF
the Dingley tariff. the Japanese-Rus
sian war, were all in the future, and
how long ago 1900 was may be gagged
by recalling that Queen Victoria was
still on the throne of England.
The march OF events In ten years
makes volumes of history, although,
seldom realized or fully appreciated
by those who participate in them or
view them as spectators. II We will
at any time take casual inventory OF
the last ten years. we will agree with
the conclusion that there is enough
there ito give q cheerful and hopeful

Good Police Work.

The annual report of the chief of
police of Omaha for last year has just
come from the press with comparative
statistical tables that furnish material
for judging Of the efficiency of the po-
lice department.
In numbers the department for the
year 1909 shows a decrease in patrol
men of thirty-six men below the maxi
mum of 1908, rendered necessary be-
cause of short appropriation, and yet
the total number of arrests was 9,915,
or only 500 less than in 1908. OF
property reported stolen valued at
$41,954 recovery was made to the ex-
tent of $1,000, or more than three
fourths of 1t, which is a pretty good
sign of activity on the part OF the de-
tective, service.
Most convincing, however, Of all is
the list of fugitives from justice ar
rested in Omaha and turned over to
the police authorities Of other cities
during the year. 1t takes police ex-
perience and resourcefulness to spot
professional crooks that have pulled
off Jobs elsewhere and who, to all out
ward appearances, are merely law
abiding strangers visiting among us.
1t has gotten to be a common habit to
talk about the police "harboring"
criminals and protecting" them from
being called to account, but the arrest
in Omaha in one year Of 118 fugitives
from justice wanted elsewhere, many
of them hardened criminals with the
penitentiary staring them in the face,
to avoid which they would gladly pay
almost any price, is complete refuta-
ton.
Our police may fall short on lot
of little things, but on the big things
the suppression of serious crime
and the apprehension of professional
criminals-the Omaha police force will
invite comparison with that Of any
other city in anywhere near the same
class as ours.

RAILROADS IN POLITICS.
Advising Employees Criticised az q
Mistaken Policy.


Mistaken Policy.
New York Financial World.
There has lately appeared in Wall street
copies of circulars which the Illinois Cen
trail and the Atchison railways, through
their presidents. have issued TO their en-
ployes advising them to work against and
vote against candidates for political office
who they believe are hostile TO rate ad-
vances and the railway corporations gem
orally. The Illinois Central circular is
particularly emphatic In It's condemnation
Of such policies.
1t is natural for railway heads to de-
sire to utilize all legitimate means to
strengthen and build up the properties en-
trusted TO their care but II Is to be seTt-
ously questioned whether there IL not a
boomerang hidden somewhere in this pro-
gram Of the above named railways. By
their action the railway executives lay
themselves open to the charge OF initiating
a class fight, which policy may find It's
GntltheEis In the adoption of means by
other interests which desire TO maintain or
obtain lower freight rates. 10 defeat pro-
corporation candidates for office. We very
greatly fear that railway entry into politics
by the above means will inJure, rather than
help, the railway cause.

opinions all the way east with him. One
is that the greatest trouble with the
country is extravaganza, Another is that

taught some of them costly lesson-it has
taught the tnust-to-luck farmer that you
can only get full crop by working for 1t.
