Town TO Celebrate lts t5oth Annlveri
sary August IL to IS.
Thetford, June 20.--This village is
planning to celebrate it's 150th ami
versary by giving pageant on Au-
gust IL, IA and 10. Under the direc-
ton of William Chauncey Langdon,
who was for some time connected
with the Russell Sage Foundation in
New York city, the village will give a
great outdoor drama in which 1t will
live over again the principal events
of its history, from the time OF the
Indians and of "Old Quail john" the
first settler, down to the present day,
and ending with dramatic predic-
ton of the future development of the
community. The pageant will be per-
formed on a beautiful site near the
village OF North Thetford, with the
Connecticut river as a part of the
stage and thick grove Of trees as a
background The actors, 500 or 500
in number, will be drawn from the
residents of the six hamlets making
up the town of Theiford The music
will be written especially for the oc-
casion by James Il. Sleeper, a Thet-
ford man, and the dramatic dancing
under the direction of Miss Virginia
Tanner will be performed by the
girls of the village and Of the two
camps which form part of Thet-
fords summer life.
II is intended, however, that this
pageant shall be something more
than a pageant. In connection with
its activities the farmers of the COM
munity are looking toward develop
ment of their agricultural resources
and the residents generally have en-
tered upon a movement for broaden
ing their educational and social
life. The University of Vermont and
the United States department of agri-
culture have become interested in the
situation and are lending their aid.

readiness to perform all civic duties
that now fall upon men. This is a
wrong idea. Because women are vot-
ers it does not follow they should be
forced to do jury duty. Certain class
es of men are exempt from jury duty.
For instance physicians are exempt
because OF their professional respon-
sibilities. If physicians are excused
from jury duty why not housekeep-
ers? What is more exacting than
housework? The preparation of din
ner cannot be deferred anymore than
can a physicians call.
There is nothing to the claim that
women must serve on juries simply
because they are allowed to vote.
There may be cases when women jur-
les might well be called but it would
work undue hardship to require all
women TO serve on juries. Nor it is
necessary any more than it is neces-
sary for women who vote to serve in
the army or as policemen or firemen.

\ RESOURCEFUL MANAGER.

In the presidential campaign of
1908, Senator Crane showed himself
one of the most resourceful political
managers this country has produced.
says Robert Wickliffe Woolley in Sue
cess Magazine. At the outset he was
opposed to Taft because Taft was
Roosevelts candidate. Roosevelt had
taken up the cudgels in behalf of the
people as against the trusts, and Crane
was for the trusts. He was for them
because he had grown up in an atmos-
phere of monopoly. A kindly dispo-
sition and a certain warmth of heart
possibly, also burning ambition
made Crane solicitous of the welfare
of the humble and the poor about
him, but that day might be coming
when the oppressed of the land would
call halt seems never to have oc-
Cured to him. even though he is on
record as having introduced a bill to
increase the pay of mail carriers and
another to give the supervision over
the care of children to the federal

convention as he went to the senate

ties of Massachusetts-of New Eng

HIRE A SECRETARY.

Pendleton has a very good Com
mercial club and has had for years.
But there is one weak spot in the or
ganization and because of this much
of the effectiveness of the work un-
dertaken is lost. The association does
not have a paid secretary but instead
relies upon such work as can be rem
dered free gratis by the secretary and
other officers.
In Ben F. Hill the association now
has one of the best secretaries it has
ever had. This is no criticism of Mr..
Hill nor is it a criticism sof Mr.. Nye
who has charge of the association
quarters. 1t is a criticism of the sys-
tenn followed. 1t is not businesslike
system.
The Pendleton Commercial associ-
alton, like other organizations of this
character, should maintain a paid
secretary. He should be man who
> is capable of keeping I'D the member
ship and enthusiasm of the association
of attending to publicity work in be-
half of the city and of taking an ag-
gressive part in the work that is car.
ried on by the board of managers and
by the entire association.
For years members of the associ
alton have seen the weakness of the
present system and they have at vari
Gus times considered plans for making
. q change. Now that Pendleton is il
line for a forward move and active
work by the club is needed if evel
time to place the association upon {
proper working basis.

THE WHITE MANS BURDEN.

For the Philippine islands the
United States paid the sum of $780,
900, 900. This country was also re-
the insurrection and TO keep it quell-
the insurrection and to keep it kuell-
ed. The lives of many brave Ameri-
can soldiers went as part of this cost.
Since the acquisition Of the islands
the United States has always tried to
do its duty by the natives. Schools
have been established there and mod
ern methods have been introduced in
e the business and industrial life of
the country. Life and property have
been made safe and the Filipinos have
enjoyed privileges that were never
theirs before.
How grateful the natives feel tow
ard this country may be gained from
the open declaration of one native
assemblymen that he hoped the Jap
snese would soon blow the hated Am
ericans off the islands.
Uncle Sam is bearing the white
mans burden and he is reaping the
cid reward.

Roosevelt was against them; also, be-
cause there is a good deal of the War
wick in this little solon. Defeat only
whetted his desires. He had scored
a partial victory in preventing the in
corporation of Samuel Gompers' an
ti-injunction plank in the platform
which Taft was to run on, and the
next move was to get control Of
the candidate himself. AS a peace
offering to the defeated "Allies," a
number OF Taft leaders proposed that
Crane be made chairman of the re-
publican national committee. Frank
II. Hitchcock was slated for the job
Crane didn't like him and doesn't like
him now. But he was not after con-
troll through this channel, so Hitch
cock was named.
