A Safe and Sane FOurth

1t is not too early to begin to plan
for a safe and sane Fourth of July
observance again this year. st. Al
bans has tried the experiment in a
very practical way and the public APP
pears to be satisfied with the innoya-
ton. Not all use of fireworks has
been prohibited here but the sale of
fire works before July or after July
has been stopped and the use of
fireworks has been permitted only
on the night before the Fourth and
the glorious day itself. Even this
could well be modified this year, if
the city council saw fit, and fire
works cut out altogether.
The time is certainly coming and
coming fast, when this will be the
law all over the land The mischief
made by the reckless carnival OF
gun-powder that we have so long per
mitted children to revel in on this
holiday is we'll nigh incalculable and
the country is waking up to it, at
last.
The amount of money burned up in
Fourth of July fireworks by this coun.
try every year is tremendous. The
amount of nerve wear and strain en-.
dured by the strong and WELL say

monium of noises, is inestimable, OF
course. The property loss through
fires and explosions foots up a sub
stantial sum and would go far tow

While the loss to life and limb, the
awful toll of violent and horrible
deaths, and of frightful injuries

for all their days thereafter, cannot
be computed in money.

vermont's Famous sotanIst.

Cyrus Guernsey Pringle was not as
generally known among Vermonters
as some two by four hunks who have
ratified like castanets in politics, in
state affairs" or in semi-pubic func-
tons, but he was In reality one of the
states most famous men, with a
worldwide reputation in the special
ty to which his life was devoted. In
botanical research there were few il
any ia the entire world who excelled
him.
A man whose schooling" ended
with his boyhood days in order that
! he might assist in filling the farm of
his parents, he succeeded by assidu-
GUS study in reaching great heights
in his chosen field.
/ Professor Pringle died May 25 in
Burlington at the age of 70 years.
On his last search for spring bios
SONS he contracted severe cold,
which developed into pneumonia, and
! the end came in the Mary Fletcher
hospital.
Born in Charlotte, VT, May 6, 1898,
Mr.. Pringle from his earliest boyhood
+ possessed a passion for plants and
flowers The death of his brother
prevented his taking a contemplated
course in botany in the University of
! Vermont, but he devoted his spare
time to study. He became an author
| ity ON the fora OF New England and
Canada, and while a young man he
was commissioned by DR., Asa Gray
of Harvard university to look up
certain plants in the White Noun
tains and the St Lawrence valley.
Later, as collector of the American
Museum of Natural History of New
York he made collections from Ari-
iona to the state of Washington. His
reputation made, and styled "the
prince of collectors" by Professor
Gray, he was sent by Harvard uni
versity in 1884 to investigate the
fora of Mexico. The following year
he was made botanical collector.
Year after year he made his trips to
Yucatan and other remote sections
of Mexico and brought out each time
from 10000 to 10000 specimens.
Mr. Pringle's Mexican plants not
only enrich the herbaria of Harvard
university and the university of Yer
mont, but sets have been sent to the
principal botanical museums of the
world. In turn, American universe
ties have been enriched by sets from
countries favored with the "Pringle
herbarium." His herbarium in the
University of Vermont is one of the
largest and most complete in Ameri

Vermont,s Manufacturers

The figures dealing with the census
of Vermont manufactures, printed in
yesterdays Journal show healthy
gains, and they furnish reason for en-
Couragement. IL must be remember
ed that these figures cover a period
OF only five years whereas most cen
sus figures given deal with a period
OF ten years. Gains of IS per cent
in capital, per cent in cost of ma
terials used, 16 per cent in salaries
and wages, 30 per cent in number of
employees and 10 per cent in primary
horsepower, are very creditable. If
the figures were given for ten years
the percentages, probably, would be
larger.
OF course the showing made by
Vermont is not very great when com
pared with the big manufacturing
states, but the fact that we have
made substantial gains proves that
we are going forward rather than
backward Until more definite sta
| tistics are available, showing the
number of persons employed and the
value of the output of the various in
dustries, it will be difficult to draw
conclusions regarding the progress
made
Nor is it easy to compare the rel
alive value of our agricultural and
manufacturing products. The manu-
featuring capital of Vermont in 1909
is given as $73,470,000 1t is not so
easy to give the capital of the farmer
This might include land and build
ings, implements and machinery,
which would aggregate 1875, 900
for Vermont The manufactures. can.
not include his residence and the
buildings at his home as a part of his
working capital
A large part of agricultural labor
is done by farmers and members of
their families, whereas the manufac-
turers must hire practically all of
their labor. For that reason the sum
of $20,075 900 paid by manufacturers
in salaries and wages far exceeds the
sum of S4.739. 600 paid for labor on
Vermont farms.
Perhaps the fairest method of COM
parison would be in the value of pro
ducts, but here arises the difficulty OF
getting at the value of farm products.

given the value Of the agricultural
output for 1910. The Crop Reporter
| published last December by the De-
partment of Agriculture showed that
on December / last the value of corn,
oats. barley, rye, spring wheat, buck
wheat, potatoes, hay and tobacco pro
| duced during that season on farms
in the State of Vermont amounted to
| $21, 521 400 There remains, how
ever, the very important item OF
dairy products, also the sales of live
stock, poultry, eggs, fruits, garden
truck, etc. to be accounted for. The
value of the manufacturing products
for 1909 was $6S,31O,OO0 OF course
there is a large amount of business,
mercantile. banking, etc, that does
not come under the head of manufac
turing.
There ought to be a substantial
increase in the near future in both
agriculture and manufacturing gains
and our Vermont Publicity Bureau is
doing good work along that line

AGAINST TAX ASSESSMENT
Burlington Board of Civil Authority
Hears Protest of Prof Merrill

Burlington, June 6.-There was a
meeting Monday night of the board
of civil authority TO hear the protest
of Prof. n r. Merrill of the Univer-
sity of Vermont, who claims exemp-
ton from a poll tax and $1,000 on the
grand list
1t has been the custom of the as
SCISSORS in the past to exempt the fac
ulty and members of the university
in the list, with a note exempting
them from a poll tax and in the case
of instructors giving exemption to
the extent of $1,000 on the grand list.
This year they made an assessment
and will endeayor to collect the tax.
The original charter OF the univer-
sity was amended in 1902 to give
these exemptions but the present
charter, granted in 1865 does not spe-
city any exemption and the assessors
claim none is allowable under the
charter or the statute. It is said
State Tax Commissioner ]. T. Cush-
man is behind the new stand taken

ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE
How WhoIe-Hesrted Vermont
Veteran Repaid Kindness.

The story of how the late Gen
Carmi L. Marsh of Enosburgh be-
friended zone Virginia woman that
was not an enemy" is well told by
Col Henry o. Clark of Milton in a
supplement TO the history of the 18th
Regiment Vermont volunteers which
also contains a personal tribute to
Gen. Marsh written by his longtime
friend, Col. Albert Clarke of Boston.
AS a result of exposure during
Dumfries raid made by Gen. j. L. b.
Stuart and his cavalry corps in
which Lieut. Marsh participated, he
was taken with others of his regi-
ment to hospital i'll of pneumonia. He
returned to the camp while GONZALES
cling from which the day previous the
regiment had been ordered to Wolf
Run Shoals. This was II miles away,
and over a rough muddy road. Lieut.
Marsh made the walk in one day, and
by reason of weakness from recent
sickness, reached camp completely
exhausted, and broken down. He was
at once taken with cerebro spinal
meningitis, taken to field hospital
tent and his parents advised by tele
graph of his dangerous illness. His
father and mother came Immediately
and obtained permission from the sur
geon, DR.. Nicholas, to remove him to
farm house a mile and half from
camp, the home of Mrs. WilcoXon,
where he could receive better care.
This lady was a widow, born and
bred in Virginia, and naturally sym
pathized with the confederate side,
but she had good heart, said Col
Clark in relating the incident, and
could give shelter to sick and suf-
fering enemy. She was very kind
and did all in her power for the com
fort of the sick officer and his par
ents. They remained with Mrs. Will
coxon till March IS, then started for
Vermont Lieut.. Marsh had been re-
duced in flesh to rs pounds but soon
recuperated.
There were no postal communlca-
tons at that time, and no correspond
ence was had with Mrs. WilcoXon,
then about As years of age, and
strange as it may seem, none after
the war.
Many years later Marsh met one of
Mosbys Cavalry who told him that
in the spring of 1868 he was one of
squad sent by Mosby TO capture
Union officer at Mrs. Wilcoxon's
home near Wolf Run Shoals. and that
Mrs. Wolcoxon persuaded them not
to take the officer, as he was sick
man and very low.
Being in Washington in 1898 1t
occurred to Marsh that he would like
TO see Mrs. Wilcoyon again. He
therefore went. TO Virginia and spent
several days in search, only learning
that Mrs. Wilcoxon had married a
man named Selecman. moved further

The Battle at Bulls Run

The Battle at Bulls Run
AS q matter of course, the news OF
the retreat OF our army at the late
engagement at Bulls Run, carried
great CONSERVATION and deepseated
disappointment among the admirers
OF our once happy Union. Not that
we at the North and the supporters
OF the Union elsewhere fear the final
result, but somehow we had expect
ed no such disaster as that which
has befallen our first great attempt
to drive out the rebels from their
strongly fortified rendezvous at Man
assas. We had supposed from what
we had seen in the papers that our
I force was sufficient to do the deed.
But, owing to unforeseen events,
which the eye OF humanity cannot
always discern, we were repulsed,
with loss OF life on our side; but not
in comparison with that sustained by
the enemy. There was q slip up
somewhere. Some say it was in this
direction, others say in another. But
in this juncture OF affairs we do not
consider 1t profitable to speculate
longer upon the result. Ii can do
no goods and possibly good deal of
harm. II is. past and cannot, there
fore, be recalled, and now let all
speculation as TO the causes OF the
repulse cease, and instead of wasting
words let all true patriots do what
they can to strengthen the hands OF
the administration, and be willing to
abide the time of the old War Horse
who has the charge of military af-
fairs and who we believe, If left to
himself, will assuredly bring the coun
try out of its perilous situation.
1t should be remembered that a
retreat is not a defeat. The best and
most successful armies that were
ever upon the field Of battle have suf-
fered just such humility as our troops
were called to pass through at Cen
terville and yet at the very next tri-
al of strength, came off more than
conquerors, and we feel confident
that such will be the case with our
army-They are not at all disheart-
ened, the courage OF the men is fully
up to the sticking point" and they
tell us they are ready and anxious
at any time to engage the enemy in
mortal combat We see, then, nc
reason for alarm or to doubt the re
suit. We believe that our cause is
just, and cannot doubt but that a just
God will crown our efforts for good
with complete success. Let US trust
in Him, and at the same time keep
the powder dry" and all will yet be
we'll

The designations OF six Swanton
school teachers who claim that their
salaries were too small to permit
them to continue in their positions
and the special school meeting which
was attended by only dozen voters,
coming as they did only three days
apart, was a coincidence which would
seem to indicate that the village on
the Missisquoi is several ranks back
from the front in the educational pro-
oesslon.

There are now one hundred prison
ers at Washington in the old capitol

into "A temporary Jail. They have
had some distinguished visitors,
among them Senator Breckenridge,

Dawes of Massachusetts,. The latter
was surprised to recognize in a rebel
uniform an old friend from the north
who resided once in his own town,
and whom he recommended to Hon.
Mr.. Curry of Alabama, as teacher,
some two years since. Believing him
to be an impressed soldier he immed-

would not take the oath Of allegiance

the rest of the prisoners are several

Col. Whiting.

II was announced in the papers of
Monday that Col. Whiting OF the End
Vermont Regiment had been request
ed by the commissioned officers of
his command to resign his Office
declaring him to be strongly tinctur-
ed with cowardice, besides being
otherwise incompetent and unfit for
his station We do know, if letters
that volunteers have written home,
are TO be credited. that Col w. dis
played, to good advantage the white
feather at Bulls Run, on the occas-
ion of the late battle. 1t is asserted
that he deserted his regiment on that
occasion altogether; and in conse-
quence, 1t. Col Stannard and Major
Joyce were obliged to assume com
mand If this is indeed so. the
sooner he lays aside his sword and
epaulets, and skulks away to Michi-
gan, the better. Vermont wants no
towards in her ranks-especially if
imported We are sorry, and indig-
nant, too. that Col W. did not stand
his ground like a patriot and true
soldier. II is a lasting disgrace to
him, while the same stigma attaches
itself to those II his command, and
to the nation. He should have
counted the cost before he went in"
and nc after he was there, seek to
shirk responsibility behind trees to
dodge danger-leaving his men to
take care of themselves. Let all
such be hustled out and men of sta
nina be substituted. Without it we
may look in vain for the success of
