Uplifting the National Guard.

The national guard and the regular
army are to be congratulated upon the
new arrangement which makes the
guard the true reserve to the estab-
lished military force. 1t has long been
the theoretical ideal that the militia
was the trained r%eserye'to the standing
army. 1t is the practice with military
nations to have such reserve force; but,
whereas in France and Germany the
reserve is composed of classes who
have passed through the mill in the
active service, our militia has hereto
fore consisted of raw men, subjected
to ftful training and often to feeble
discipline.
The militia looks upon the regulars
as the better soldiers, and the regulars
are inclined to believe that the mill
tiamen are the stuff for soldiers, given
q chance. The change which brings
the two establishments into closer re-
lations will work to the benefit Of
both. The guardsmen will have the
benefit Of example and systematic
training, and the regulars, officers and
men, will feel a responsibility as ex-
emplars and drill sergeants. In other
words, the regular army has taken the
guard in, and the guard appreciates its
promotion into good company.

Tho Wreck of the Maine.

There may something come Of The
fresh proposal rumored from Washing
ton that the government proceed to
raise the wreck of the Maine. now
lying at the bottom of Havana harbor
and cloalling L mystery which two ma
tons wish to have cleared up. What
sunk the Maine? Probably a defective
engine within, but possibly a hostile
agent without.
Efforts have often been made in con-
gress to force some action by this gov
eminent regardless Of what Spain OF
Cuba may think in the matter. The
wreck is United States property. Ex-
ecutive Indifference if not hostility has
been limited at as the reason why the
Maine has been allowed to remain
where it mysteriously sank early in
1893. 1t might perhaps be embar-
RAISING to some interests and more es-
pecially to a few individuals to have it
demonstrated that the blowing up Of
the Maine while on q delicate mission
during hostilities between Spain and
Cuban revolutionists was purely acct
dental. The event was quickly fol-
lowed by war demonstrations on our
part. 1t hurried on the war If it did
not cause it, and the mystery shroud-
ing the whole affair would better be
eliminated if possible for the satisfac-
ton of both nations involved.

Aviation Coming to Its Own.

Aviation Coming to Its Own.
The outlook for 1910 in aviation re-
calls the remark Of Santos-Dumont
when he declared about three years.
ago that navigation Of the air was as
sured and would be worked out by
p%erimenters. 1t would become a fash
ion or a fad, he said, to be financed By
capitalists and INDUCED in as a sport.
Airship prizes for the year in France
aggregate $4,000 and in the United
States 100000. The prizes will be Il
stimulus to inventors, builders and avi-
ators.
Aviation is costly business at this
stage. The discredited machine must
be sent to the scrap heap as Dol as Z
rival shows superiority. Inventors are
seldom rich, and, while it is possible
for the discoverer of a key princip..a
to m%onopolize his idea and reap a fcc-
tune, as did Singer, Mccormick aigG
Westinghouse with the sewing ma
chine, reaper and air brake, it is oil
a gamble at present. Some schoolboy
from his attic or some hermit from his
cabin may suddenly leap into the air
with the real thing and put both gas
bag and plane out of commission. Up
to date, though. all progress has been
along scientific lines, and 1910 bids
fair to prove that some one out Of the
many claimants has produced the air
ship Of the future.

Mexico and Her Indians.

An apologist for Mexico answers the
muck raEers who recently invented
the epithet ''barbarous Mexico" in the
current number of Moody's Magazine
and virtually retorts to, the United
States that If Mexico is barbarous in
it's treatment Of its aborigines you're
a%nother!!" The writer, IN American
who is a member Of the Mexican Geo
graphical society, says this country
was not less severe in its treatment Of
rebellious aborigines than Mexico has
been. He also thinks that we never
dealt with a 'more bloodthirsty and
treacherous crew than the Yaqut In
dams, who have retarded industrial de-
velopment, the building of railways,
the digging Of irrigation canals, the
proper cultivation of the soil and the
opening Of innumerable rich veins of
gold and silver"
The author Of 'The Crime of the
Century," Helen Hunt Jackson, was
doubtless called q muck raker in her
time by some people, but her exposures
of the. condition Of the wards of the
nation led to reforms. Probably 1t will
put Mexico on her mettle to have the
truth told, and the response to the
muck rakers' attacks has been Off
cial and semioficial PRONUNCIATION Of
struth about Mexico" Mexico has
always had bad Indians. When Santa
Anna, the cruel dictator. wanted
bloody work done in s%uppressing white
Texans he made use. Of Indian cut
threats and in various ways tried to
shift responsibility from himself to
slawless natives" This led to Cen
eral Taylor's famous threat, III you
don't control your people I'll come over
and do it for you" Later he did go
over, and that was the end Of Santa
Anna. We have no call nov to protect
Mexico's Indians, but IL Mexico keeps
them savage and violent we may have
to act some day in the interest Of Or
der and progress.

WEST BURKE.
H. G. Spencer and Wife Observe
Golden Wedding.

There were gay and happy doings
last Saturday at the home of
VIII Hill, for the home was filed
with guests gathered to celebrate
the golden wedding anniversary of
Mrs. Hills father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. H. e. Spencer. 1t was
just so years since they were mar
ried at Newark, by Elder Jordan.
They are still hale and hearty, and
have five children, / grandchildren,
and one great grandchild. Al dinner
was served, and afterwards the
pastor, Rev F. Williams. made the
presentation speech. A massive din
ing table was the gift of the children
and a gold ring that of the grand
children. There were others too
numerous to mention here. A
photograph was taken of the four
generations.
Miss Balch, of Burlington, the
field secretary of the Sunday School
work in Vermont, spoke last Sun
day at both churches to large and
appreciative audiences. The com
bined efforts of the Blues and Reds
have increased the attendance of
the Sunday School wonderfully, 92
being present last Sunday.
Little Wendell Williams last week
was presented with a fur coat.
Last Sunday the ladies of Newark
gave the pastor bill of large de-
nomination with which he is to buy
a fur cap for winter.
The pupils having no absent

NEW METHOD LAUNDRY.
A Description of One of st. Johns
bury's Model Plants.

The New Method Laundry might
well be called also the quick method
laundry as will readily be believed
when it is known that work sent here
from WoodsYille hotels on the 1O.45
train is returned in a highly finished
state on the go train the same
afternoon. This despatch is easily un-
derstood, however, after a glance at
the equipment and facilities for hand
ling work. Everything is designed to
hurry things along and at the same
time give satisfactory work. The
laundry bundles come into the side
entrance of the first floor and pass
through the marking room, thence to
the washing machines, five in num-
Der, along the south side. From the
dip wheel starcher they are sent
into the hurricane dry room, where
a powerful electric fan agitates air
hot enough to dry anything. The
mangle in this room is an immense
affair, and one of the most modern
built. 1t is a 100 inch machine and
has a capacity of 8 feet a minute
The weight is tons. The other
machinery in the washing room is
three centrifugal wringers and
starch cooker.
The finishing room on the ground
floor is a maze of intricate machinery
and new methods of laundering.
Every machine is new and they in
cludea full set of steam shirt presses,
one a body iron, the sleeve ironer,
and another for bands. That the
new collar machine is one of the
latest is indicated by the fact it has
improvements not listed in a cata-
logue three months old. This room
is the same size as the washing room,
30x60 feet, and the other machinery
which does the work formerly done
by hand, and does it better, includes
an automatic seam dampener, auto
matte shaper, collar fxer, mist
clothes dampener, ten sanitary iron
ing boards, and several smaller
machines. A tank on this floor con-
tains 1000 gallons of hot water for
uses in the washing machines
below. The sorting and bundling is
done on this, the street floor, and the
Office is also located here. Motive
power heat and hot water for this
newest addition to St. Johnsbury's
industries are furnished by As
horse power Scamel1 boiler and
35- horse power automatic engine.
