THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT.
CFrom the Haverhin Gazette.D

(From the Haverhill Gazette)
President Taft voiced the sentiment of
large majority of the American people
when 10 said that the United states has
no ambition 70 acquire additional terri
tory The policy of this country is one of
peace, and surely the national domain Is
great enough without adding Il single
square foot OF what Is now foreign soil.
The danger OF complications leading to
Entertainments upon foreign territory lies
not in any prevalent ambition or desire on
the part of the public but no friction at
times along the border, and still more to
a notion that the United States is charged
with mission TO promote the welfare OF
other nations and more or less 10 regulate
their affairs when they seem to Amer-
cans to be unable to manage them by
themselves.
This Idea that the American people have
riSht-wniCh is more Of less 4 duty-to
protest against any Objectionable phases
in the domestic policy of another country
has shown itself more than once. Protests
have been sent to the car of Russia and
the king of R0umania about the treatment
of their subjects, Resolutions have been
adopted oondemning the policy Of Great
Britain and an itching desire to tell the
government OF more than one other coun-
try what it ought to do, has found at
times more or less positive expression. Il
led to the war with Spain and transferred
from the shoulders of that country bur
dons In connection with Cuba and the
Philippines which the American people
are now compelled to bear.
To let other people alone. to let them
settle their own affairs in their own way,
is a hard lesson for nations MS Well "a
for individuals in private life But it is
one OF the most important OF all lessons
to learn especially if the people would
themselves enjoy the blessings Of liberty.
1t should always be kept in mind by the
officials as we'll rs by the people of this
country-particularly which means OF
their proximity attract more easily the
attention of the American public.

VERNONT'S PUBLICITY BUREAU.

tFranklin, y. H.. JournalTranscriptD
The publicity bureau OF Vermont Is
putting out some good advertising for
that State. 1t seems that Vermont Is
surpassed in the number OF bushels of
corn raised to the acre by only four
States and those are New England
States. Her crop last year amounted to
., ISL 600 bushels while that OF Colorado
was a little less o,Si6,O00 bushels and that
Of North Dakota, n little more. 1886 900
bushels. but although the aggregate
Weld was nearly the same, when COM
pared with Vermont's acreage Of 5000,
Colorado corn growers planted $4,000
acres and North Dakota farmers planted
2li.00O acres. Thus It will be seen that
Nermont's yield was twofold that of
Colorado and threefold that of North
Dakota, The price per bushel in Yer
mont, December I, was &C cents. or near
~ twice that of the banner State, I'LL
nois, which was IS cents. The price in
the other big corn States was: Iowa, 30
cents; Kansas. Is cents Texas. 63 cents;
Missouri. a cents; Nebraska, IS cents
oklahoma, 81 cents; Indiana, 40 cents. A
big Yield and n big price made pretty
GOOD combination and indicates that Yer
mont farmers are quite as well situated
as their Western brothers. New Hamp-
slire mas record even better than this

VERMONT NEEDS MONEY "SPENT'
AT HOME.

We are glad to note the extent to
which the newspapers Of this State
are becoming aroused to the need Of
more vigorous steps to bring about
tho application Of capital to the de-
velopment OF Vermont's resources
This awakening means that when the
time arrives for the election OF the
members Of the next Legislature the
people will be pipe for a revolution in
the way we have lcgislated money out
OF Vermont. and with It some of our
best and most progressive young men
and women. Tho Barre Times hits
the nail on the head when 1t says:
Although one of the smallest States
IN the Union and one OF the least rich.
as we'll, Vermont turns out nearly nine
per cent. of the stone products OF the
entire country, being exceeded in that
merely by the great and rich State of
Pennsylvania Who says, then, that
Vermont Is not a State of opportunity?
With only 355, 900 people ana a scarcity
of capital IT means that the State has
splendid natural resources in order
that II should attain such a high posi-
ton in the stone industry. Given
more capital, tho production would In
crease. and that increase in production
wo@ld. In turn, increase the popula-
tlon by attracting workers in tho
quarries and the stone finishing plants
A little old State tucked away up hero
~ the remote section of the United
s,tatos. almost crowded out and into
Canada. in fact,-what a record OF ad-
vancomont in tho stone industry un-
der conditions whrch have been not
particularly conducive to develop
mont? IL such thing Ia possible
with so comparatively little capital
II will be easily possible for lrttle old
Vermont to double IT'S output with the
incoming OF more capital. And, too
instead of sending money out to the
Western States, let home capitalists
invest at home. thus furnishing the
best incentive for outside capital to
be attracted to the States industries
In the face of this we are sending
out Of Vermont no less than $4,000.

THE GREEN MOUNTAIN CLUB.

1t has accomplished much for the pro-
motion of the publicity and popular
ity of our chief mountain heights
Mt. Mansfield in particular Is being
brought to public attention as never
before as a delightful resort, and If
we are not mistaken the next few
years will see a complete transforma-
ton in conditions surrounding this
famous natural beauty of the Green
Mountain State.
A summer hotel on the Cnderhiii
side of Mt. Mansfield has already been
seriously considered and it would do
more to help this whole region as n
summer resort than almost any other
IS conceded that the beauty of scenery
70 be witnessed and enjoyed from the
summit of Mansfield is far ahead of
that of Mt, Washington.
The Green Mountain club Is looking
to the development OF interest in the
mountains in different parts of the
State, and the campaign of publicity
which IL has InauSurated can not fail
&c bring results. 1t is to be hoped
that the annual meeting Of this worthy
organization at Stowe Saturday, June
TO- may call out large attendance
ard that steps may be instituted &c
hasten the good work already aus
piciously begun.
