Pine, might, if she would, breathe into
more wonderful developments the
locomotion as we'll as in the fields of
philosophy and mysticism. Even the
auto may not always keep its feet on
the ground and recent airships have
rendered definitions of motor cars
questionable.
The design of the condition made in
my letter to the Governor, is to exclude
automobiles from the same road or roads
used by horses or foot travellers; and
anyone's eye should be able to pierce
the future far enough to perceive that
this can never be done with safety or
comfort to those using horses or to foot
travellers; and therefore it never should
be permitted. Those two different
modes of travelling are no more fitted to
go together than railroad trains and
horses upon our public highways. No
length of time can change the condi-
tons.
On the other hand we have no OBJ
lection to an electric road leading up
the mountain upon its own track rightly
placed, or indeed to seperate road for
automobiles, if entirely removed from
the carriage road, with suitable terminus
at least 60 rods from the summit. In
this way all could be accommodated.
Trusting that these explanations may
prove satisfactory.
Very truly yours,
JOSEPH BATTELL.
We believe the people of Vermont
will thoroughly appreciate the spirit
which has inspired Colonel Battell in
connection with his generous act.
Automobiles are barred from many
private and public preserves in the
vicinity of Burlington as well as else
where, and Colonel Battell simply de-
sires that people driving teams shall
have the privilege of ascending the
mountain without being interfered
with by motor cars. AS he shows in
his letter he does not object to separate
roads for autos. and in this direction too
he is in line with the policy which is
being adopted in some parts of the old
world where carriages and autos do not
use the same roads.
1t is to be hoped that in time it may
be possible for visitors to ascend this
mountain as well as Mount Mansfield by
railway, and we are glad that Colonel
Battell has discussed this possibility.
The time will come when these noun
tains will be to travellers and summer
tourists in Vermont what the White
Mountains are to New Hampshire, and
Colonel Battell can be trusted to frame
a deed of gift that will promote the
public enjoyment Of this great natural
beauty in every reasonable way. Bur-

Mount Omi, on the border between
western China and Tibet, has the long
est staircase in the world. On top of
the mountain there stands a Buddhist
temple, around which gather some Of
the hottest traditions of that religion
and which is made a Mecca to the
Chinese. To facilitate the ascent OF
its slippery sides some 10000 steps
have been cut in the mountain, form
ing a single flight, up which the Pill
grim tolls. Because of its inaccessi-
bility few Europeans have ever visited
the spot, but a number of travellers
have assembled the stairway and are
positive that 1t Is no legendary myth.
There is legend that in earlier times
the pilgrim was forced to ascend the
mountain without artificial aids until
the monks conceived the plan of re-
qulring every pilgrim who would gain
especial benefit Of his journey to cut
single step.

there was no fault on her side. The

Pope Fears Hard Feelings Would Re- suit From the Naming of Official.
 King Victor Is
 Athletic

Rome, April 2.-(Special)- graft scandals in France and the United States are the fruits of the subordfnation of religion to material thingsi is the opin- ion generally expressed at the Vatican.
 You will find,' declared a high pre- late to me in discussing the dispatches from Paris and from the United States telling of these exposures of corruption, that in every case the communities in which corruption is most rampant, the religious life of the community is at the lowest ebb. In France, so far as the government is concerned there is no re- ligion. It would seem judgment that this new disgrace has come as direct result of the sequestration of the prop erty of the church.
 "So in the American communities where graft has been uncovered New York, Pittsburg, Chicago and the like, it is a fact that by a great mass of the people religion is regarded as a myth, joke.
