Now for a Better Union Station

Now is the time for the Central
Vermont and Boston & Maine rail
roads to get together and build a
union station at White River juno
ton that will be just right. With
the old station in ruins, they will
have to start over again, and the
project, ought to be accomplished
with the added features, such as
subways to the business streets Of
the village-Barre Times.
The world, and especially that
part of the travelling public which
occasionally has to drop off at White
River junction, will certainly look
for something bigger and better
"a building and approaches adapt
ed to modern conditions and re-
quirements. As to subway, or
,subways, there is much opposition
among junction residents aside from
the objections of the railroads. A
tunnel was ordered, however, by the
public service commission some time
ago SO long ago, in fact, that the
matter seems to have been entirely
forgotten.

The Age has received with the
authors compliments copy #
Scientific Features of Modern Med
icine," by Frederic S. Lee of New
York, Dalton professor of physiology
at Columbia University. DR.. Lee is
of Vermont ancestry. 1t is good
Vermont name which he has made
widely known, and his friends here,
at his country home, are much inter
ested in his work for science. as are
all Vermonters. The book presents
in clear and untechnical language an
account of modern medical achieve
ments and aims. A timely chapter is
on the popular distrust of medicine
and its causes, and some attention is
paid to various Systems of heal
ing, such as Christian science and
osteopathy. The book admirably ac-
compIishes its purpose to illustrate
the genuinely scientific character Of
modern medicine, it's great change
from the medicine of the past, and
its hopeful outlook for the future.

Nor wear my last years furs,

If Mr.. DeBoer means to charge
that the Republican party of Ver-
mont is petrified organization or
that it's continued success means a
continuance of non-progress, we do
not agree with him such a charge
amongst other things seems to be an
indirect bid for, Democratic support
and we shall watch with interest to
see if his declaration is so construed
and 30 results.-Montpelier Journal
This is a practical admission that
continued Republican successes in
the past have kept the state at a
standstill. The Journal allows that
things are going to be better now
under the same Republican rule, but
it il matter of doubt the situation
inspires fear and trembling, and Mr..
DeBoer himself might have been a
little sceptical perhaps, Judging by
the effort by which he was drawn
into the campaign.
IF Mr.. DeBoer is talking as plainly
as the. Journal suggests, he does in
fact appeal to the voters outside the
party. He is speaking to Republi-
cans, however, and may not be BOOM
ing his candidacy inside the con-
demned organization.

The Letters of Horace
Praise for Recent Publication
of the Elm Tree Press.

The Boston Transcript reviews
approximately as follows "The
Letters of Horace Presented to
Modern Readers" edited by Charles
Looms Dana and John Cotton
Dana, and printed by the Elm Tree
Press, Woodstock
The editors OF this volume believe
that Horace's letters are not inter
esting as generally presented in
English. Even the best OF the
poetic TRANSACTIONS do not make
good poetry moi tell the story salts
factorily. They have no prose trans
lations which make the letters easy
or attractive reading. They therefore
attempt to interest the modern public
them. Not through translation
adorned by especial elegance of
language, but to give the facts
regarding the personality of the
people to whom the writings are
addressed, to tell the time and the
occasion Of the writing, to supply
the local, historical, and mythology
cal references, to keep the thread OF
the story and to show the connection
OF the reasoning - these things have
been their aim. Here are presented
only portion of the letters - those
generally esteemed the best and
most representative.
An introduction describes the
Sabine Farm, and the condition of
Rome at the time the letters were
written. The letters given are tif-
teen in number, twelve of which are
from the first, and three from the
second book. Those from the first
book include two to Maecenas, the
curious letter to the steward OF his
farm, and the letter to his cook.
The editors have the courage of
their convictions about nloderniza-
ton, and do not hesitate to say that
Phillip liked to divert himself in
any old way" and that he presents
Mena with "$25o." or course, the
latter seems strange only because we
are used to seeing money in the
Latin authors translated into English
pounds and pence.
A word must be said about the
beautiful formal Of the book. Paper
and press work are excellent, and
the binding is tastefully done in
cloth with ii paper label. 1t is
deliberately illustrated with nine re-
productions of copper-plate engrav-
ings originally made by Otto Veniu:
about 1900. There are also eight
half-tones from photographs of the
region of the Sabine Farm taken ex.
pressly for this book. Lovers OF
Horace and lovers of good book.
