negotiated by the late Secretary OF
State Hay on the ground that the same
interfered with their prerogstive in
treaty making. These treaties we're
amended so that each project of arbitra-
ton required the Senate's specific APP
proval, hut were later withdrawn.
lnasmuch as the present Knox treat
les provide for the instiiuting by the
Senate itself of a joint high commits
sion of inquiry the Senate would have
every case in its own hands, aud 10 all
appearance the objection raised in the
Senate is more technical than real OF
material.
In view Of the tremendous gain for
the cause OF universal peace embodied
in these conventions, it is to be hoped
that dilligent study may be given the
situation with the idea of making pos
sible the contamination of the arbitra
ton treaties now negotiated with Grea

Educational Departure

Too often is the occasion of the in-
auguration of university or college
president made one of pomp and cir
cumstance; there is a great parade of
caps and gowns; there are professions,
addresses aud comforting of degrees of
SO wild variety that the alphabet is all
too inadequate to furnish their designa-
tions. The University Of Vermont has
determined to vary this program with a
feature that cannot fail to rebound to
the lasting benefit Of education in this
state. The days set apart for the in
augural of DR.. Guy Potter Benton as
president of the University of Vermont
are October 5th and 9th.
1t is proposed that an educational
conference be held during the inaugural
period for which program is now be-
ing prepared. The first day will be Civ
en- up to discussion of the vexing sub
ject of the adjustment of college require.
ments and the secondary curriculum.
Perhaps no educational problem has
given educators the trouble this has. II
is clear, therefore, that a conference be.
tween men representing universities
colleges and secondary schools will an
questioDably result in a better under.
standing of the subject and will contri
butte to the ultimate adjustment of theil
respective courses in their mutual rela
tions.
The problem is put in this way

broad enough to prepare their pupil.

Tie is not at the head of a free trade

be difficult to demonstrate that he Is
not even at the head of party in favor
of downward revision.
Entirely apart, therefore from COM
mercial considerations, he was wise in
his day aud generation when he reject
ed the measures, for had he signed
either or both he would have committed
political blunder of the first magnitude.

Let Us Talk About the Platform

How would it do to talk less about
candidates for governor for the present
and discuss more the platform on which
the Republican party purposes to ask
the support of the voters next year,
Is it not possible to arouse the people
to an expression of their wishes aud
formulate them into platform no
strong that no aspirant to public office
will hesitate to pledge himself to sup
port it.
The Republican management should
insist that no county convention of the
party be held until after the state con-
venton, so that every candidate nomi-
mated for the senate could actually be
pledged to support the state platform.
The delegates to the several county con
ventions should also see to it that such
pledges are Forthcoming.
1t is high time that active measures
be taken to prevent few senators from
defeating the wishes of large majority
of the voters. A senatorial candidate
whose views do not permit him to stand
by the promises of his party should say
so in the nominating convention. The
game practiced by some candidates in
the past OF carefully concealing their
opinions until after they were elected is
altogether too costly to the Republican
party.
The time for candidate to talk
about his "honest convictions" is at the
nominating convention, before the bal
lotiug begins. That's the time and
place to discuss the issues. The voters
should know where their representatives
stand on important questions be-
fore the assembly.
| And by the way, would it not be a
good policy for the voters of each town
to begin to consider the question OF
whom in their number would best rep
resent them in practical legislation fol

Veto Power.

Mr.. Taft is not whit taken back by
the storm of unthinking criticism his
vetoes have caused. One representative
from Kentucky, Ollie James, has gone
the length of suggesting impea chmeut
and beheading. Just why Mr.. James
does not take his proper place as an en-
tertainer off the floor of the House, we
leave to his constituents. Mr.. James
has ventured some partially baked ideas
on the subject of the vetoe power which
are novel if not logical.
The vetoe power, provided for as it is,
in all the state aud the federal constitu-
tons, it seems, is, according to Mr..
James, Gan Inheritance of royalty; it is
undemocratic and unAmerican, and, in
this case, In fragrant defiance of the
will of the Ameri can people" 1t was
not enough for Mr.. James to hint dark
ly at the possible fate of the King OF
England were he to traverse the will of
parliament; but in order to correct a
possible misinterpretation, Mr.. James
gave ample reason for his detestation
of Mr.. Cleveland, who once knew when
aud how to use the vetoe power.
Speaker Clark knew we'll enough that
Mr.. Taft's exercise of his prerogative
did not necessarily mean political
hostility to revision. Even if the Presi.
dent were wrong iu exercising the vetoe
power at this time, the speaker is zig
enough to recognize that, at all events
the President acted FROM principle. Nc
one can accuse him of Sinking respon
sibility !; he took his chances and i'm
perilled his own political future wher
he exercised the right of vetoe.
He saw the emergency; he was aware
of democratic pressure and insurgen
jealousy he, himself, wanted speed.

Make the Most OF Il

OF the bill introduced in Congress by
Senator Page of Vermont to provide
government aid for the better and wider
teaching of agricultural and industrial
subjects in secondary schools, the New
England Farmer says: "This bill is one
of tremendous and far.reaching i'm
portance to the people of this country.
Its enactment will open the door of OPP
portunity for tens of thousands Ameri-
can boys and will make possible the

guished Vermont senator, Justin S.
Morrill,, was able TO secure the enact
ment of the law establishing agricultur.
al colleges, which entities him to be
ranked among the great benefactors OF
the nation. Now another Vermont SEN
ator proposes a bill which, il it becomes
a law, as it should, promises to be OF
great value to the boys and girls of this
country. Its passage means better
trained men and women who will bt

The friends of ex.Gov. Fletcher ID
Proctor throughout Vermont and the

present illness and will pray for his
early recovery. The latter seems to be
assured if this indefatigable and hither-

complete rest from work for time.

worked harder in the past 80 years than

Bradstreets Trade Report.

Reports to Bradstreets for the week
show manufacturing industries fairly
we'll employed. More reports have been
received from manufacturers who have
been forced to close by reason of short
age of power caused by low water cou-
ditions. Garment manufacturers are
employed full time aud among some of
them there is scarcity of help. Among
the marble manufacturers plants there
appears plenty of work ahead. Machine
industries note but little change in gen.
eral situation. Lumber is in fair de-
mand. Builders supplies and dealers in
paints are moving goods about even.
An advance in prices of farm products
is predicted for the near future. Out
look for fall potatoes is not considered
good. Corn in some sections will not
be able to recover from effects of the
drouth. The rains of the past week
have benefited all farming sections and
improved appearance of pastures
aud outlook for fall feed is better.
Short water supply is still factor not
only for power purposes but county Sec
tons also feel the effects of it. Collec.
lions are more or less uneven. Two
failures were reported for the week.
The general condition among manu-,
featuring industries at Burlington il
but little changed, Wholesale firms
note volume of trade in most lines
continues even for the period. Reports
from farming sections in that vicinity
show effects of the drouth.
Rutland reports labor in demand and
plants are we'll employed. Among re
tail merchants trade keeps up we'll fol
the season of the year.
st. Adams reports more new building
is being done this year than for sont
time. Manufacturing plants are opera
ting full force and summer trade ha,
been reasonably good among retail
merchants.
Manufacturing plants at Swantol
are employed full force. Increased
production is noted by nearly all line'
at that point.
st. Johnsbury retail merchants repor
that summer business has been littl

At Montpelier labor is fairly we'll EN-

attributed to low water conditions.
Reports from Barre show hut it'll
change in general conditions ther
either with the manufacturers or tn
