A MOUNTAIN PEAK.

It is not often that a minor upon reaching his majority is given as a present a wooded mountain peak of one thousand acres. This is what ex- Gov Fletcher D. Proctor of Vermont has given his son as present upon reaching his majority. The Rutland News, in noticing this unique gift, says: ''The peak of Mount Pico, a tract of well-timbered land of a thou
 sands acres. This richly wooded mountain passes into good hands. It is more than likely that it will be pre- served for game cultivation, in about the same condition in which it reaches the son. At any rate, one thing is assured, and that is there will be no ruthless denudation of this peak for immediate commercial purposes. What timber is cut, it is assured, will be cut with regard to preserving the forest"
 The day has dawned for New Eng land when the woodlands are going to be cut with more care, and the owners of them will find them more profitable.

 Of the fifty principal articles eflum- erated by the bureau of statistics in it's monthly advance statement of prin- clpal articles imported about twenty are manufacturers materials, either crude or partly manufactured, and these in practically every case show an increased importation in the eleven months ending with May. 1910, com of 190S-09.

Not a Hedoer.

William H. Taft does not stop a
 minute to think whether any act of his will make votes or lose them. It would be absolutely impossible for him to consider the amendment ex- empting labor unions from prosecu- tion for violation of the law, in that light The thought of courage in re- sisting what seemed to him an unfair and improper demand would be ridic- ulous. He simply could not do any
 thing less than to defend the law in it's application to all classes of people without exception. Congress, as us- ual has acted in a cowardly way when confronted by the demands of the la 'bor unions. Of course, a few men stood up for reason and right, because they were reason and right and a few others, whose districts were safe, were also bold. President Taft without thought of the consequences acted as we have just said, in the oIily way he could act whatever the consequences might be- They would be to his big nature 9 matter wholly out of the reckoning. His act, and his letter ex- plaining it, should be carefully con- sidered, before judgment is passed on it. The country, which has been slow to take the measure of this man, is beginning to realize that the occupant of the White house is as strong as he is big-Waterbury American.

ABOVE PLAYING FOR POPULAR
 ITX

IL has become apparent that Presi- dent Taft will not play to the political machines of the country for personal favor His one term as president may now be interpreted as meaning that he VIII be president during that term-a champion of the people-a square dealer with all men
 His opposition to the river and har- Dor bill is from an honest conviction that 1t is quite as much a political enterprise as a river and harbor inn provement scheme. and it is clear he does not like the character of it from any point of view. In his message to congress he said:
 The total of the bill is not unduly large. but the appropriation of a small sum Iessens the sense of responsibility Of those who are to adopt the project and who do not therefore give to their decision the care they would give if the appropriation or contract involved the full amount needed for comple- ton
 Moreover, the appropriation of comparatively small sum for a doubt full enterprise is thereafter used by it's advocates to force further provision for it from congress on the ground that the investment made is a con- elusive recognition of the wisdom of the project and it's continuance be- already spent
 IL is apparent that President Taft is determined to correct some abuses. whatever the cost to himself. because he cannot play along lines which in- creases the burdens upon the people.
 The nation is getting in a mood to ~ 'Rah for Taft!"

BLOODHOUND SLEUTHS.

A recent news item from Charles town tells that the sheriff Of Kent county had procured two thoroughbred bloodhounds from a breeder at Lex ington. Ky. with the expectation of using them to chase down chicken thieves and thus put an end to the hen roost maurauding which has been go- ing on in old Kent for a long time when the memory of the man runneth not to the contrary. This is undoubt- edly a well intended bit of enterprise on the part of the Kent county sheriff and it is doubtful whether the dog SleuthS will accomplish what IS ex- pected of them.
 Only a few weeks ago the law off, cers of Massachusetts town put bloodhounds on the trail of man whom they were endeavor1ng to capture. The hunted man finally gave himself up and told the officer to whom ne surrendered that he had met one of the bloodhounds and patted the an ina1 on the head without the dog sleuth showing any disposition to make an arrest The dog trotted on and continued to snuff the ground. few years ago a pack of famous blood hounds were brou ght on from Virginia to hunt a man wanted for murder in Baltimore county just outside the limits of Baltimore city. This man was finally captured not over two or three miles from where the murder occurred but not by the bloodhounds. They must have crossed the trail of the man wanted twenty times, but they never traced him.
 And scores of such failures have occurred. And on the other hand. have been known to trail men and make barking accusations against them only to have it subse- quently proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that the dogs were entirely mi istaken The marvellous scent dis crinlination of the bloodhound, there is reason for saying, is greatly exag- gerated in the traditional stories that have heen pass4d .IoNn from genera tion to neration.-Baltimore Ameri- can.

A JUDGE TO BE COMMENDED.

In tie course of a divorce trial be- fore Judge James B. Richardson of the Massachusetts superior court the other day, it was suggested by counsel that certain of the evidence be heard in private. Whereupon Judge Richard son replied: T shall hear nothing from anybody in private. This is a public hearing, and whatever goes in must go in publicly"
 That may or may not have seemed impressive in the speaking, but every citizen should appreciate its importance and rejoice that the courts of this com uronwealth will lend no countenance to the unjust and absurd notion that secrecy may be thrown over divorce cases in some instances, while denied in others.
 We want no approach in Massa- chusetts to the New York system of shielding the rich and highly placed from the publicity their conduct re- serves.-Boston Post.

TIE SUMMER VACATION.

Tan -reeks of freedom for the chill <=-=, fs fen weeks of increased per zlexftx for their parents The city boy who Is not kept under restraint learns more in the streets in the sum 1ner than he can unlearn in the schools
 There is no profit in likeness Too much fdleness brought Adam and Eve 10 grief in the garden of Eden, and Adams tribe today finds its greatest 5ox in its industrial achievements 1dIeness produces no good, and is not even rest for people of energy The summer school with it's natural his tory studies and its athletic body building and its practical helps in various ways for the little folks has schooling which is profitable and joy frI aside from the daily grind which so tries the souls of many youth.
 It is true, as the Waterbury Repub- 1icsn says with reference to small children who can be kept under sur veillance in neighborhoods, that they have the art of enjoying vacations. It is an art Not every one has learn ed to drop all thought of the grind and routine passed and to come in the simple pleasure of the present zs children do- They allow no shadow to fall across their happi- ness When the sun shines today they have the faith-mistaken of course that 1t is going to shine forever"
 The parent is fortunate and wise
 who has the ability and the wisdom to hold the half-grown children to lit tie habits of industry whereby they may earn some money and acquire the habits of economy which tell for a better manhood and a better citizen ship
 These children can be made help fui without being made drudges of They are entitled to all the pleasure that is to be gotten out of life, but it should not be lost sight of that there fs more pleasure in attainment than in anything else under the sun
 At all events, the children who are left to the training of the streets are unfortunate and cannot but suffer in jury as the result of ten weeks of such 11nrestrained freedom
