Island sound. where it will join other
vessels of the Atlantic fleet. That feet

submarines.
Washington's naval. militia will have

every militIaman will receive his station
billet for the trip and will hunt up the
regular service seamen, whose place he
will fill so far as possible during tho
cruise. That worthy will be standing
by, however, at practically all times to
see that no landlubberly mistakes are
made. The station billet will set forth
the duties of recipient at all times. and
will include the mess billet, sleeping bill

City Bakery Now Located In the Camp

Charles A. Caron opened the City bak-
cry, recently conducted in the Boyce
block, in new and up-to-date quarters in
the Campbell block to-day. The bus
mess will henceforth be operated in the
store formerly occupied by the United
Fruit Co. Extensive repairs, alterations
etc, which include division of the
place into two rooms, has prepared the
store for the home Of model bakery.
The front part has been thoroughly
equipped with sanitary show cases and
cupboards for baked goods and will be
used as display room.
In the spacious rear room, modern
Middleby oven, said to be one of the
largest in the state, has been installed.
The oven measures l2xl4 feet and has
baking capacity Of $50 loaves. Under
the direction of John Kirk of Boston,
who placed the oven in position, other
sanitary equipment has been arranged
in the baking room. The whole interior

Not Popular Government.

"Governor Bass Is right in thinking
very small Senate elected by an un-
democratic method, both unsafe and
anomalous in modern American state. "
Boston Transcript.
That is exactly what we have here
in Vermont, men and brethren.
We have Senate limited TO thirty
members, to begin with, a convenient
number for the lobby, because it only
takes sixteen votes to defeat measure
that the House of Representatives may
have passed unanimously. On some
questions, like constitutional amend
ments, for instance, where two thirds
vote is required, eleven men in the Sen,
ate can block the progress of the whole
state. And they have done it repeat
eddy.
Then we pretend that the Senate Is
that part of the Legislature in which
representation is based upon population.
How can we divide thirty men among
fourteen counties, give one to each coun-
~ to start with, and then assign the
other sixteen with anything like rela-
tive fairness or proportion when YER
mont counties range in population from

LYNcHINGS AND LYNcHINGs.

In support of a declaration by Theo-

The Outlook that lynching Of negroes
for criminal assault leads to lynehing Of

comes the terrible story OF another out

it didn't need ex-President Roosevelts
warning to prove what nearly everyone
realizes to be the trend of the human
mind, for there have been numerous
other illustrations of the development
OF deprayity along this line. But in the
article referred to, Roosevelt does per-
haps an unconscious wrong, because he

the crime of which he writes in particu-
lar he SEEMS to lessen the terribleness
of lynehing as a punishment for the Of

that if surrender to mob control, fol-
lowed by putting of human beings to
death, is wrong in one instance it is
fully as wrong in another, no matter
how serious may be the provocation.
The principle of the thing remains m.
changed. We ought to decry lynching
for the crime of criminal assault just as
much as the general public will decry the
latest manifestation of mob violence.

The efforts of certain authorities at
Harvard university to bar Mrs. Pank-
hurst, the English suffragette, from
speaking in the precincts Of the uni
versity turned out just about as might
be expected; it furnished the very best
advertising which Mrs. Pankhurst might
ask for. Therefore, instead of the few
hundred men whom she might have
hoped for as an audience under more
favorable treatment by the authorities,
she was confronted yesterday by a mob
of fifteen hundred men, who vainly tried
to get admittance to the lecture hall
which accommodates only five hundred.
Advocates Of new or unusual doctrines
thrive on restrictions of this sort. For
this reason, the authorities might also
have permitted Emma Goldman to speak

The shout that met this appeal

When the meeting was over and

clapped the young man vigorous
ly on the shoulder.

and went home alone
Hours afterward Kathleen, for
the third night in succession, was
awakened by the sound of a
STEADY pacing to and fro in the
room above her. She arose and

He shook his head hopelessly.
No one can help me. It's only
that I'm ashamed. Go back to

Kathleen. I'm not worth it."
Something in his voice and bag
gard face caused the tears to start
to her eyes. She turned away
and left him. The monotonous
pacing to and fro began again.
