It win not be long now before the New

Among the last OF the out-of-town finc-
lions in which society was particularly in
terested we're the White Plains auto races
and the Belmont park aviation meet. The
auto races were held today and the aviation
meet also began today. The annual race
meet Of the United Hunts Is scheduled for
election day and this about clears away
the suburban schedule.
The White Plains race was quite inter

THE CHAMPLAIN MEMORIAL
(Vergennes Enterprise.)


1t is naturally very pleasing to this
paper, that was the first, and for a
long time the only newspaper to adj
vocate placing the memorial to the
great discoverer in the best place, the
most conspicuous location and the
one nearest the scene of his greatest
adventures on the lake, Crown Point,
to have it located there by the joint
Commission of Vermont and New
York.
Some of the papers in the north
part of the State and a few on the
east side feel grieved that the YER
mont Commission joined with the
New York Commission in selecting
this site for joint memorial. Con-
sidering the fact that Vermont's ap-
preparation was so small and the site
selected is so near, and so conspic
nous from the Vermont shore, we
think the commission is to be conf
mended rather than reproved More
'Vermonters will see the monument
and it is nearer the shore than Juni-
per Island and some other sites that
hda strong and persistent advocates.

THE LEE STATUE.
(Randolph Herald.)

From the G. A. R. and others in the
North comes a protest against the
plan proposed by the State of Vir-
ginia of placing in Statuary hall in
the Capitol building at Washington a
statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee, clad in
full confederate uniform. Nor is this
strange. Virginia must have antici-
pated that such action would have
provoked resentment in the North.
The right or wrong of it, ethically,
may be discussed ad infinitum. How
far the North should go in the way
of forgiving the leaders of the South
ern rebellion; how long time should
elapse before Davis and lee and
Jackson are to receive the same de-
gree of honor as the heroes OF the
undivided republic; how soon all, ev-
erything,. of the "late unpleasant
ness" will be forgotten and the
chasm closed as firmly as the Wars
of the Roses are closed in England
today, we cannot tell. 1t will require
more than one generation. The men
who fought the battles of the Union
against plotters and seceders and
traitors (whatever, in our softened
feelings we call them now, who shed
blood, endured hardship and braved
death in great cause, are many of
them living. Neither these, nor their
sons, their wives and daughters, can
be expected to relish the glorification
of those who led the movement that
required their sacrifice. 1t is not that
Lee was not great and good man,
and probably the ablest general on
either side, but it is the outcrying of
patriotism against seeming descern-
ton. The Capitol should not now be
the place OF honor for characters
whom the reunited nation cannot yet
honor in sincerity.

dent reports an alarming decrease in
the waters of the streams and springs
during the past sixty years and es-
peoially during the last twenty-five
years, within which period the small
er timber also has been removed. Is
raels River in his boyhood was a large
mill stream of eight or ten rods wide,
with sufficient water to carry q very
large amount of machinery the year
round. Now it is an insignificant
stream, with, from May to November
not more than half the water it had
fifty years ago. Other streams have
suffered in the same way, and the
springs have, if possible, suffered
more than the streams. Many once
thought to be never failing are now
for long periods dry. That the cut
ting off the forests accounts very
largely for this change he considers
as sure as that effect follows cause,
and the result is fastened by the
reckless methods in use. Instead OF
cutting timber that is matured, ev-
erything is cut to the size of five or
six inches in diameter, and what re-
mains is cut into firewood or burned
at once, leaving a dreary waste.
If these facts were correct in 1888,
more striking illustrations might be
obtained in the year 1910, and the
condition of affairs pictured in New
Hampshire may be duplicated in
Vermont and many other States. 1t
is earnestly to be hoped that this
meritorious bill may become a law
before the short term of Congress
expires.

COUNTING DISASTER.

Whom the gods would destroy,
they first make mad'-so runs an an
cient proverb. The action of both
branches of the New York Legisla-
ture IL defeating the Cobb direct iri-
nary ILL is a fresh illustration Of
this old saying This action of
the New York law makers is
a direct slap at the leadership OF
Theodore Roosevelt, the most power
full and the most popular Republican
in the state, who had just openly ad-
vised the passage of the measure.
For sheer, stubborn folly and stupidi-
ty, for swift political suicide, no
surer course could be chosen. The
logical conclusion of this policy
would be the nomination of Speaker
James w. Wadsworth for Governor,
as a result OF which the Republican
,'cket probably would be buried I'M
der majority OF several hundred
thousand votes.
Nothing could be better calculated
to convince the rank and file of the
voters that the direct primary system
was emlnently desirable than the des-
perate resistance of the bosslets and
machine politicians to the measure.
Within the past few months this ma
chine aggregation has openly defied
three of the wisest and most justly
famous of the Republican leaders in
the United States, Gov. Charles e.
Hughes, Senator Elihu Root, and
Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt.
They can hardly expect that the peo-
pie of New York State will approve
opposition to such leaders, but evil
IDENTIFY they prefer defeat to the re-
linquishment of their hold on the Re-
publican machine. Such defiance
is a dramatic object lesson of the
need OF cleaning out this unscrupu-
lous gang at Albany.
The signs Of the times point to Re-

CONGRESSMAN PLUMLEY.
(Rutland NeWs.)

The denomination of Congressman
Frank Plumley in the second district
was entirely expected. Mr.. Plumley
has made a splendid record during
his first term at Washington
and is already recognized by his col
leagues as man of wide knowledge
and broad ideas. Left in his seat long
enough he will become one of the
leaders of the lower house of Con-
gress. 1t is somewhat significant that
the Republicans of his district passed
resolutions commencing Mr.. Plum
leys position on the revision of the
rules of the House of Representa-
tives. 1t will be remembered that he
voted for the Norris resolution in
creasing the size of the committee on
rules and removing therefrom the
Speaker of the House, but that Mr.
Plumley did not vote to Gust Speaker
Cannon from the chair. 1t is believ-

showed this to be correct. We consid-
er that the convention showed the
time and expense OF securing our
canvass was well spent.
Speaking of figures we will say in
this connection that Caledonia coun-
ty exhibited good politics all right as
regards its efforts to secure the Lieu
tenant-Governorship. On both the first
and second ballots on the Governor
ship Caledonias total vote of 46 was
equally divided, Mead and Fleetwood
each receiving 20.
The platform adopted by the State
convention received unusual atten-
ton and discussion, and it will be a
difficult matter for any man on the
State ticEet or any member of the
next Legislature who accepts office
as a Republican to say that this dec
laration of principles has no binding
power so far as they are concerned.
The plank regarding the liqIc~
situation means that the matter of a
referendum is really in the hands Ct
the Legislature, and that if the peo-
pie want referendum they can have
it by sending to that body men favor
ing public mandate on the subject
as intimated by Dr.. Mead in his
speech OF acceptance.
Only passive interest was takeI
in most of the other planks, but the
applause which greeted the referenaC
OF Chairman DeBoer to the matter @

and the manner in which the plan,

ed plainly that the paramount ISIS y

subject will be discussed more thai
any other during the State campaign
now begun, and the Republican candi
dates who stand on the platform WI
perforce speak for this reform.

FORESTRY AT RILTMORE.

(Hay, Flour and Feed Journal)
In point of variety and scope the
forest work done on the Biltmore es-
tate in North Caroline is remarkable.
The forests, which cover 10000
acres, and made profitable by the pro-
duction of various forms of material.
Four million feet of lumber, five
thousand cords of tannic acid wood
and fuel one thousand cords of tan
bark and several hundred cords of
pulp wood are cut every year. At the
same time the forest through wise
management is bettered and is stead
lily increasing in value. Workmen
employed along the boundaries of the
forest do duty as fire guards. Thus fire
protection is secured at least through
out all the accessible parts of the
tract. In connection with all lumber
ing operations permanent logging
roas are built. These minimize the
present cost of transportation, and
will greatly reduce the cost of mar
keting future crops Thus the en-
tension of the roads is steadily adj
ding to the investment value of the
forest. Moreover, they serve also as
a network of fire lines Forest plant
ing is practised where fire will not
threaten its success.

publican defeat in New York this fall.
If the party is to retain the State Of
ficers and Legislature, and elect a
United States Senator to succeed
Chauncey NJ. Depew, it must depend
upon the record of the Hughes adj
ministration and upon the aid of
leaders like Roosevelt and Root. 1t
may be that the only way to secure
party regeneration is to undergo a
decisive defeat. 1t is not too high
a price to pay for much-needed
task, If this is the only method by
which it could be accomplished, but
this extreme measure ought not to
be necessary. Under the leadership
of Roosevelt, with a decent ticket and
with legislative record showing some
regard for public opinion, the Repub-
licans ought to win. Under the pres
ent leadership of the machine ele-
ment only defeat is deserved.
