aThe Old Homestead.

The perennial drawing power OF "The
Old Homestead" Is indisputable, and its
long success and continuous popular
ity are due in no inconsiderable meas
ure to the fact that it is a perfect
transcript Of nature, holding the mir
ror up to nature as do few other plays
of modern times. II was accounted a
good play twenty years ago; as far
back as 1885, when it had its initial
performance at the Boston theatre and
made the most telling success ever scored
by new production in Boston Year
after year since then il has repeated
that success, and ii has even improved
with age. Little melodramatie touches
and effects have been eliminated until
now there is more natural wit and hui
NOR in the dialogue and more genuine
touches OF pathos and sentiment than
ever before. 1t Is old, vet ever new. and
it is absolutely true to the New England,
country life which it represents. IN

wilson On Primary system.

The members of the Vermont House
Of Representatives may have observed
from reading the newspapers to-day
that Gov Woodrow Wilson of New Jer.
sey is also in favor of the direct primary
system. The point about it all is, sim
ply, that practically all the most con-
spicuous leaders Of progressive public
opinion, the strong intellectual person
alities making for the most substantial
progress in public affairs, are taking up
this cause. The fixture of the Yer
mont lawmakers to read the signs of the
times is regrettable. In some respects,
Vermont needs direct primary system
for the nomination OF public officers,
perhaps more than any other New Eng
land state.-St. Adams Messenger.

Fortifying the Canal.

In the just issued protest against forth
flying the Panama canal, as well as in
other publications sympathetic with it,
which the controversy as to the protec-
tion of the great waterway has called
forth, much stress is laid upon the status
of the Suez canal, which is without bat
teries and is held TO be sufficiently pro.
tected by naturalization. The distinc.
ton between the two canals, plain as it
ought TO be, is lost sight of in all these
denuneiations OF President Taft's plan
for guarding Panama against the haz-
ards of hostilities That distinction IL
worth recalling. for it runs back to the
very origins of the two enterprises The
Panama canal is, and was intended to
be, when John Hay and Lord Pauncefote
first negotiated, public work of the
United States. The Suez canal is owned

The loss to Black River Falls alone

La Crosse Power company, the break
ing OF whose dam at Hatfield caused
the destruction of practically every
thing in the valley, will lose at least

Thousands are homeless In the hills,
