The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1911-06-16

In the death of William Henry Bishop
of the Essex County Herald, that county
as well as Orleans, he being so closely allied
with it, has lost a man of integrity; one
always devoted TO their interests, and one
whose line of work was always toward the
uplifting of mankind. He believed in
progress in friendships, in the church.
Among the newspaper fraternity he was
recognized as a man of thought, careful in
his utterances, but never Sinking his duty,
or fearful of speaking straight to the point.
The editor of the Essex County Herald
and his subscribers have virtually grown
up together, his 33 years as the head Of
that paper making him a well-known fig
IRE in their midst. But he stood the test
in his well-doing. increased his worth with
the passing years, did his duty as best he
could, and now has gone to his reward
leaving large circle of mourning friends
hind-Newport Express.
The state papers have offered their trib-
utes to the memory of Brother Bishop.
but it has remained for the Newport con-
temporary to sum up his life story in
four words-"he stood the test" This
statement is absolutely true and no great
er encomium can be penned of this mem
Der of the fraternity than that written by
one of his near journalistic neighbors.

Tn response to widespread demand for
something of more practical use to the
workingman's son than is afforded by the
present curriculum, the state of Maine will
inaugurate next fall fairly comprehen-
sive system of industrial education. 1t is
not the plan to spend whole lot of money
or to open new schools or departments
rather, it is agreed to make a more extern
sive use of the present facilities In fol-
lowing out this scheme. two expert super
visors will be employed. They will have
the double duty of educating teachers for
manual training work and of lending ad-
vice and temporary aid to any city or
town which needs them. For the time
being, at least, the establishment of reg
ular trade schools will not be encouraged.
Though the educational value of such in
stitutions is admitted, it is felt that the
proportion of the population which they
serve is not large enough to warrant the
unusual expenditures that are necessary
to maintain them.

an old man who felt the stigma OF a fine

been committed TO prison? The penal

Such was the conclusion of a re-
port of the committee on commerce
and shipping which was adopted by
the trustees of the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday afternoon. Free
tolls for coastwise vessels was es-
teemed by the committee as some
thing that would Offset all the dis
advantages Hawaii suffers from the
Operation of the coastwise laws.
Elmer e. Paxton, chairman of the
committee, presented the report,
which discussed information furnish
ed by George M. Mcclellan, the
Chambers representative at Wash
ington, and w. G. Cooke, it's repre-
sentative at New York. A bill was
pending in Congress to make the ca
nal tolls not to exceed $3.50 nor to
be less than 50 cents ton. McClel-
Ian suggested that an effort be made
to have the tolls on coastwise ship
ping fixed so as not to exceed the
actual cost of working the vessels
through.
The committee states that from
25O,OOO to 100000 tons of sugar will
be transported annually through the
canal, besides a large amount of
pineapples and other products des-
tined for the eastern market. Also
an increased amount of merchandise
shipments from New York and Phil
adelphia direct to these islands win
be made.
If the regular rate be 81 ton, as
recommended by President Taft, it
will mean about 60 cents cargo
ton. If free tolls could be secured
for coastwise vessels. the committee
says, it would effect a saving of ut
least a quarter million dollars a
year. While this would directly ac-
crue to the steamship companies
shippers would of course receive at
least large proportion of the ben
efits.

Hilo Needs Suburbs.

Hilo Tribune: For a couple of
years past Honolulu has been grow
ipg rapidly and healthhy, securing,
not boom population which may at
any moment of temporary depression
vanish like dew before sun, but a
solid contingent of permanent citi-
zens, who are building their homes
IT, the city and who will stay with
the town and help in the fight for
better times in case prosperity should
slacken. This development of the
BODYBUILDING citizen has been made
possible mainly through the opening
Of large suburban tracts, such as Ma
noa, Kaimuki, Palolo, Waialae, Pun
nui and so forth, where men with
limited means may make their homes.
There is no feature in the develop
Inent of Honolulu which is as desira-
Bile as the establishment of the home
builder, and it seems too bad that
Hilo can not emulate her big sister
city in this regard. The man who
has nothing to tie him to a communi-
ty does not make as good a citizen
as the one whose interests force him
to exercise the functions of citizen
ship with the greatest of care. The
Tribune does not pretend to know
how the problem here may be solved,
but it is certain that If some one
succeeds in placing any proposition
en- the market similar to the subur-
ban tracts named above, he will be
doing more for the development of
the city in a healthy and permanent
way than could be done in almost
any other manner.

sed. l have read a great deal Of
prose and poetry in German, Italian,
French and English, and, although
German by birth I can say sincere
ly that no literature makes a strong
er appeal to me than that which has
, enriched the English tongue. No
sensible reason can be advanced
why English, with its wealth of po-
etic words and phrases, its elasticity
and its inherent strength, should not
be the medium of the great operas
of the future. That it will be, have
mot the least doubt. Once and for
all, and very quickly, we should drop
the untepable claim that operas can
not be sung in English as we'll as In
Italian, German or French.
AS soon as can get adequate casts

best obtainabIe. I think that two or
three truly splendid productions
would make obsolete the saying that
opera pust be sung in the language

Mr. Kennedy objected on the
ground that it would tie up shipping
and cause loss to business. Wharf
labor would exact the double wages
for holidays.
The president suggested that max
ing it a business holiday would avoid
the conditions affecting a legal Holt
day. 1t was the latter question that
was embarrassing the Governor.
Mr. Waldron considered that the
action of the Chamber in the matter
would be purely informal, leaving

be added that all classes of society,
