ATTRACTIONS OF VERMONT.
(Rutland NeWS)


Periodically the question as to the
reasons why Vermont cannot keep at
home all of its strongest material
in the way of men and women comes
up for discussion in the State papers.
Here comes the Montpelier Journal
touching the matter in the following
paragraph:
This paper realizes that the big
cities always will draw some of our
brightest youths to engage in the
pursuits of the wealth and honors
which they hold out as prizes, and
that it is idle to expect that we can
keep all our young people at home.
1t does believe, however, that it is
possible very largely to increase the
opportunities for fame and fortune in
our own State, SO that the discrepancy
will not be so heavily in favor of those
who leave this commonwealth. The
progressive spirit that is awakening
Vermonters to the possibilities of
development ought to result in keep
ing more of our strong young men at
home"
In connection with this the St AL
bans Messenger calls attention to TIE
fact that the figures of the census of
1900 showed that of the people born in
Vermont over 40 per cent of them are
now living without the borders of the
State, and it concludes that the pro-
position of the Montpelier contempor-
airy is thereby shown to be a most
serious one.
The News, in common with other
newspapers and individuals, is thor
oughly imbursed with the idea that
much more can be done than has been
done to keep the young Vermonter at
home. The opportunities in this State
can be made of such attractive nature
that the lures of the big city or of the
far and unknown West will not appear
SO brilliant and enticing as now.
Nevertheless it does not see in the
situation anything mournful or path
etc.
Vermont has, according to more
or less common notion, been styled
POLITICALLY but pathetically the nursery
of great men. 1t is not only the nurse
ny but it remains for a great many of
Vermont's best minds the field of lifes
activity. Innumerable instances of
this can be cited The strongest men
in almost every community in this
State, the men who do things, are
Vermont born.
More and more it is becoming re-
cognized as a fact that Vermont has
as good opportunities for fortune or
fame as any other section of the
country Vermont is much more than
the birthplace of successful men. It is
not fair statement to make, or a
correct reputation to give Vermont, to
say in the words of Stephen a.
Doulas, Vermont is a good place to
be born in if one migrates early
enough" 1t is a good State to be born
In and stay in, and if one is unfort-
innate enough to have to be born else
where ii is good State to move to as
soon as one becomes a free moral |
agent and can navigate.
And the New Vermont will be better |
than ever.

Literature is being circulated from
the State Republican headquarters,
asking the State press to encourage
the object of big majority, as us
ual, at the election this fall. The best
way to have the big majority is to
insist that the preface of the cam
paign shall be conducted on meth
DDS that will bear publication and
scrutiny.

The st, Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN still
insists that John A. Mead conducted
money campaign and won his nomin-
alton by methods he dare not make
public. Is this because Dr.. Mead re-
fuses to print a long string of ac-
counts simply to satisfy public curl
osity? Is it because he dared run ON
an independent ticket, dared fight his
own battle without consulting party
factions, dared place his own record
before the public as reasons for his
election, dared use his money to de-
fray expenses which no man can
prove or conscientiously believe was
dishonesty expended? Out upon all
this riff raft of imaginary insinua-
tons. If DR.. Mead has run a dishon-
est campaign, disrupted the Republic
can rarity and raised the devil gener-
ally in ways that are dark and un-
lawful, bring it all to the front and
win the $1,000 reward. There was a
reward for this, wasn't there?

If, as the Republican State Commit
tee would have us believe, Vermont
Republicans must roll up a good ma
jority this fall because the rest of the
country will look upon the result as
commentary on the record of Con-
gress and President Taft, when are we
to have an opportunity to express an
opinion on State issues3s In an off
year Vermont's Republican majority
must be maintained because of its
opinion on congressional elections in
other States; in a presidential year it
must be kept up for the benefit of the
general election in November. Accord
ing to this doctrine Vermont must
put aside any desire to settle import
ant issues of its own for the sake of
being a political barometer. Forum
ately for the states welfare this be-
lief is shared by fewer people every
year. 1t is a di ficult thing nowadays
to make the average Vermonter be-
live that he must vote contrary to
his principles in order to inspire party
fealty within the breast of some way
ering Republican out in Kansas.

Sheldon Has Unique Building.

Sheldon, Feb. S,-The recent pur-
chase, by Fred w. Klass, of Sioux
City, of the Royce opera house at Shell
don will make the passage into
Oblivion of one of the most unique
buildings in Iowa. Mr.. Klass bought
the opera house last week and will
probably wreck it and bring the larger
portion of the material to Sioux City
for sale.
The opera house was built a number
of years ago by John Royce, a wealthy
and eccentric old citizen of Sheldon,
as sort of monument to himself and
combines so many different forms of
architecture and workmanship that it
is unique. The opera house contains
all kinds of workmanship. Some of 1t
is artistic, and some of it the work OF
mere 'tbotchers" in the art of car
pentry and building. When erected the
building cost $4,000 and it is estimat-
ed that it would cost twice that
amount to construct today.

Bio Works Secured at Waterloo.

Waterloo, Feb. Smother gasoline
engine works. is to come to Waterloo.
Through the efforts of the North Wa
terloo Commercial club the concern
has been landed and arrangements are
being made for the building of quar-
tiers suitable for work. Contracts
were signed between c. B. Willenborg
of New Hampton and the North Wa
terloo Commercial club, which assured
the coming of the new factory to this
city A site was provided for the new
factory by the Booster" club Of the
north end, and other concessions made
that were favorable to both parties.
The reason for moving to Waterloo
was for the opportunity here presented
to enlarge the concern which had out
grown it's quarters at New Hampton.
The capacity will be doubled when
the factory is ready to open up here
and probably forty men will be en-
ployed from the first. Gasoline en-
gines and their parts will be manu-
featured by the new factory, the com
ing of which will add another live
wire to the long string already here.

BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

This is a lesson in the A B G OF re-
ligion. 1t is the Wise Teachers call
ing his pupils back to the simpllcltles
of faith There are no subtletles OF
intricacies here. This is the platform
of the Kingdom reduced to simplest
terms, AS ever, the elemental IS seen
10 be the vital. Here are the essential
teachings of life: and the doctrine
that this weary, jaded, perplexen
world with its care-wrinkled face,
most needs to learn. This declaration
nv Jesus of the best ife-philosophy is
more luminous than any comments up
on it. so we extract the lesson passage
In full, from the Sermon on the Mount.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures
upon the earth, where moth and rust
consume. and where thieves break
through and steal: but lay up for your
selves treasures in heaven, where
neither moth nor rust doth consume,
and. where thieves do not break
through and steal: for where thy trea-
sure is. there will thy heart be also
The lamp of the body is the eye: II
therefore thine eye be single, thy
whole body shall be full OF light But
If thine eye be evil, thy whole body
shall be full of darkness. If therefore
The light that is in thee be darkness,
how great is that darkness! No man
ran serve two masters: for either ne
will hate the one and love the other;
Or else he will hold to one and de.
snise the other. Ye cannot serve God
and Mammon. Therefore | say unto
gou:5 Be not anxious for your hte.
what We shall eat or what We snail
drink: nor yet for your body, What ye
shall put on. Is not the life more than
The food, and the body more than the
ratment? Behold the birds Of the
heaven. that they SOW not, neither 90
they reap, nor gather into barns, and
your heavenly Father feedeth them.
Are We not of much more value than
thew? And which of you by being anX-
,ous can add one cubit unto his stat
ure? : And why are We anxious con-
rerning raiment? Consider the lilies
of the field. how they grow: they toll
not, neither do they spin: yet | say
unto YOU. that even Solomon In all MS
glory was not arrayed like one OF
these. But if God doth 50 clothe the
grass of the field, which today is, and
tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall
he, not much more clothe you, 0 ye
of little faith? Be not therefore anx
lous, saying, What shall we eat? or
What shall we drink? or, Wherewith
al shall we be clothed? For after al,
these things do the Gentiles seek; fol
your heavenly Father knoweth that
We have need Of all these things, But
seek We first his kingdom and his
Righteousness: and all these things

Let US lift up our thinking. Our
times are tainted by. scrappy, incense
Hquential and rather vulgar mental pro-
cesses. We read too many periodicals
and too few books. Is it not logical
and reasonable that we should go. by
osophy, to loftier purer conception
of our daily thinking and reading? I
met an Atlanta business man few
days ago who told me that he had can
celed his subscription to long list of
magazines, and had taken to reading
the great books which time has tested.
The names of the volumes he had mas
tered in year amazed me: he has
been delivered from the possible
thralldom Of scrap-basket mind. OF
course he gives first place to the
Book of books: no other literature has
it's power to clarity mans thinking
and to elevate and strengthen his char
acter.
