FEAR FOR THEIR sApsTY
Wilson and Walker Went Fishing and
Have Not Returned.

Burlington, Oct. l3.--Grave fears
are felt for the safety Of w. II. VII.
son, and Charles T. Walker, the for
mer in charge OF the filtration plant
who left Thursday morning for 4
few hours fishing trip and have not
been heard from since A heavy
wind storm swept Lake Champlsin
Thursday night and II la feared that
the two men may be marooned. or At
the bottom OF the lake. The two men
started on the short trip In Wilson's
narrow launch The Bubble" Old
boatmen along the lake front express
the belief that a boat the build OF
The Bubble" could not live in q
storm like that OF Thursday night.
Supt Kidder has telephoned to ell
stations along the lake but no signs
have been seen OF the missing men.
Wilson's home is In Holyoke. Mass,
and he is a graduate OF the Universi-
ty OF Vermont. class OF 1908. He has
been employed In the water depart
ment here since then. Walker is q
life long resident OF Burlington ana

FoReER FolLED
First Attempt to Forge Postal Saw
ngs Certificate Unsuccessful

Washington, Oct. 13.-The first at
tempt to forge a postal savings GER
tihcate OF deposit has met with fail
ure, according to advices to the
postoffice department from Seattle
Wash, where Sahil Gin Amat is un-
der arrest. He is charged with forg-
ing a certificate belonging to r. Ali
of San Francisco A few days ago Ali
reported to the postmaster at San
Francisco that he had lost one hun
dred dollar certificate of deposit and
asked for a duplicate. The applica-
ton had been forwarded to the cen
trail Office here and the duplicate had
been prepared and was ready to be
forwarded when word came Of the
arrest in Seattle of Amat, while at
tempting to collect the money on the
lost certificate.
The prompt apprehension of Amat
is taken by officials here to illustrate
the safety Of the certificate idea upon
which the system is based. All the
foreign governments operating pos
tai savings banks use the old bank
pass book idea which Is more intri-
cate and expensive.

Education the Remedy

The Fayston tragedy has served to
call anew, attention to the one great
plague spot OF Vermont. the irrespon
sible class in the way back hooks
and corners of the state
In another column will be found
extracts from leading Vermont pa
pers in which the different phases OF
the subject are ably discussed.
Whatever the causes. all seem to
agree that education Is the remedy.
This too, in its broad sense, not
merely education that is derived
from text books in schools and high
er institutions OF learning, but the
education that begins In the family
and includes in its sweep the entire
community.
II is the gospel OF right living.
How to live so as to get the most

This we all need to be taught but
especially those in these back places

1t seems odd that political parties
have to insert planks In their plat
forms declaring IN favor Of abollshing
railroad grade crossings. as both
leading parties have Just done In
New Jersey. However, If there Is no
other way TO arouse public sentim-
ent in favor OF much needed matter
OF progress, let the political parties
come down from their eulogy OF the
grand old party" etc, etc, and tell
the people in plain English what is
desirable for their safety. The es-
Enlistment OF grade crossings is
one of the policies of material ad-
yancement that could be taken up
by political party. Here in Yer
mont it is a policy OF the united peo-
pie; and the only regret is that the
work of abolishing the dangerous
crossings cannot proceed with great.
er despatch.-Barre Times.
Two crossings each year for every
fifty miles OF railroad is pretty good
progress when the difficulties of con
struction in this state are taken into
consideration. And In this connec
ton it is perhaps opportune to cal
attention to the fact that the worh
Of abolition has encountered more op
position from the people of individ
ual communities than It has from the
railroad companies.

Yours very truly,


OF course, many OF the brethren
will say this is a beautiful idealism,
some day realizable, but that It is not
practical politics for this generation
Others may even pooh-pooh 1t as the
mere sentimentalism of a visionary.
But The Messenger believes that
Mr.. DeBoer has come pretty near TO
putting forward a practical ideal of
everyday politics for the here and
the now. and one that some day. If
there be any virtue, any vital elem
ent In our so-called evolution of so
ciety and it's institutions from good
through better to best, will be acc
cepted by the everyday man as an
everyday commonplace rule of &C
ton.
We may deplore present day prac
tees in our Vermont politics as Ions
and as loudly as we may. We may
propose and preach about all man
ner of highly moral devices Of Law
to put an end to them. But we shall
never have any reform until the re
form policy is courageously put int
action on his own hook and in hi
own case by every individual either
that deserves to be elected governor
and until the people are themselve
honest enough with themselves an
their own government not to cleo
anybody else.
Then, and only then, will II be POI

BENNINGTON. VT, OCT. 10, 1911

Some time ago a statement was
sent out from Washington that econ
omical reforms in the war depart
ment would result In the abolition of
the cavalry post at Fort Ethan Allen
and the consolidation of the regular
army troops which would otherwise
be sent into Vermont at the post
near Plattsburg, N. Y. There are
many persons living in Burlington
and vicinity who would learn that
such an order OF things was to come
to pass without one sigh of regret.
The murders and other outrages of
recent date In which the colored
troopers at the post have been the
leading actors have had tendency
to increase the number of people
with a conviction that military
post is not such desirable acquis-
ition as It was once believed to be.
