The people of New Hampshire did
not take full advantage of the posi-
bilities of their advertising day" as
proclaimed by Governor Bass, but some
of tie newspapers took the opportunity
to boom the state and their respective
localities. The Manchester Union did
perhaps the most notable thing, having
published last Saturday pictorial
edition devoted to many sections of the
state and life of the state.
But though the idea of advertising
day" was not grasped by the whole
people of the state, Governor Bass's
scheme has much of merit, as it gives
the people chance to concentrate their
efforts for the time being, at least,
toward presenting the advantages of
their state to the country. Here in
Vermont the newspapers are constantly
booming their state and with good
reason; but there is no concentrated
effort along definite line and following
certain leadership. Therein might
lie the advantage of Vermont "adver-

The insistent demand of a great
number of the American people for
parcel post service similar to that given
by the British government, has been
favored by President Taft to the extent
of recommendation that steps be taken
Immediately for the establishment OF a
limited parcel post. The president
having also in mind the many points in
arguments in opposition to an immedi-
ate extension of the service equal to the
British system, has suggested that the
service shall be restricted to "such
rural routes as may be selected, admit
ting of the same benefit as to weight
and cost of carriage as obtains In the
foreign system, eleven pounds to be the
limit for any parcel The appropria
ton of S150,000 would, 1T is believed
cover the cost of such measure OF
service and as we'll enable the posta
department to obtain definite iuforma

the Presidents course in this matter II

Help the Back Towns

The Bennington Banner touches upon
an important subject when it says
"First and foremost in the develop
ment of Vermont we need some intelli-
gent effort to improve, develop and put
new life into the rural communities of
Vermont. The life blood of these
communities has been sucked out by
forty years of emigration and, not all,
but scores of these communities are
today suffering from decay in too many
cases. moral, mental and physical weak
ness tending toward degenercy. This is
the greatest problem that confronts Ver-
mont today. These isolated communi-
ties and men and women raised under
these conditions often even in the larger
towns are the ones who are making the
record of serious crime in Vermont so
long these days. The matter should
be taken up by the governor and egis-
lature at the first possible opportunity"
There will never be the development
in Vermont that there should be until
the back towns, those away from the
main currents of activity, are repopulated
and rejuvenated. Most of these towns
have been losing population steadily,
and many have less than half the popu-
lation they had SO years ago. Nearly
all the young blood has migrated, and
maintaining schools, churches, highways
and the other essentials of civilization
has become an increasing burden. Ver-
mont must help its rural communities
or our dream of progress will never

mont, in his report of the work of the
organization in Vermont and New
Hampshire during the past two years
says that there has been Is "shutin'
members in Vermont aud IL or 10 in
New Hampshire. The exact amount OF
work done by the associates and by the
state president of New Hampshire, who,
he EXP lains is shut-in herself, has not
been reported, but great many letters,
post cards and birthday membranes
have been sent out by them.
The state president for Vermont sent
out in 1910 nearly 400 letters and post
cards; made over 200 calls, often taxing
flowers and reading matter to those
unable to leave their homes. These
calls were largely in or near Man
chester, n. H., but in July, 1910, he
visited members in Sutton, Wolcott,
Barre, Vergennes aud Brandon, Vt.
In 1911, thus far, he has sent over
200 letters and postcards; made over
400 calls on members. During the two
years birthday remembfances have been
sent to each member and some useful
present was sent to each on Christmas ;
also nine circle letters with stamps to
pay postage round the circle, have been
sent out and reports indicate much
pleasure and help have been given by
them.
For the benefit of those who do not
understand the work of the organization
in question it may be stated that many
of these "shut-ins' are nearly or quite
helpless several of them live out OF
r. +. d. routes in isolated places ; some
of them are in very limited circum
stances and all of them are lonely anC
glad to receive letters, post cards o.
any kind of remembrance from kline
friends.
As might be expected more worl
could be done if more means were a

including books or magazines, can b

This is a work which ought to tax
on large proportions. A host of peopl

better candidate than the President
under certain conditions, mainly relat-
ing to his votegetting qualities in their
respective states-for their state and

second reading of the quoted words
shows rather careful hedging as to
ultimate meaning, but, none the less, it
would be surprise to the average YER

the present state congressional delega-
ton did not favor the denomination of
President Taft in June as a matter of
party expediency.
Vermcuters generally are pretty good
admirers of Colonel Roosevelt. But il
is very doubtful if a majority of them
would urge him to be candidate for a

Our PASSWORDS In Russia.

The first truth announced by the
Declaration of Independence - and
therefore the first principle OF Ameri.
canism-is that "al men are created
equal" The Declaration of lndepend.
ence being political document. this is
to be understood in a political sense,
1t means simply that the government
is to play no favorites;, that all are
equal before the law.
This fundamental principle has been
violated by Russia in the treatment of
American passports. She has made
fish of some ard flesh of others. 1t
matters nothing to us that those dis
eliminated against are Jews, Catholic
priests and Protestant missionaries.
They are American citizens. That is
enough. We have nothing to do with
their race or religion. Some one has
we'll said that this has ceased to be
Jewish question and has become an
American question. The refusal to
honor the passport of one American
citizen on the same terms on which
the passports of all other American
citizens are honored Is denial of the
fundamental principle of our institu-
tons and therefore an affront to the
| American nation.
Neither can the yelled threat Of Rus
STA that an abrogation of the treaty of
1882 may result in the loss of our
growing trade in the empire of the
czar be allowed to have weight. Dol
lars cannot stand in the way of ma
| tional integrity. This issue having been
raised, there is but one way to settle
it. That is by. insisting that Russia
and all other nations treat all of our
passports alike. We must stand by
that whatever happens.
A discrimination in the treatment of
American citizens by another govern
ment must be by the acquiescence of
our own government; therefore we
are a party to the discrimination.
That Is one of the first principles of
international law. When we are at
tackled at such vital point all minor
considerations must be put aside,

The American Woman.

The foreign estimate of American
womanhood has not always been ap-
preciative. Perhaps the foreign writ
ers were not wholly to blame for this.
They judged oar women by those they
saw, by those who went abroad. by
those who made themselves conspicu-
GUS in restaurants, by those In the
smart set, by those who sought titled
European husbands Any American
knows TINT these are not typical OF
true American womanhood. Apparent
Iy the foreign writers are now coming
TO the same conclusion. In recent
issue of the English Review contrib
utor differentlates between the great
mass of the wives and mothers OF our
country and the society women who
crowd together In noisy restaurant
luncheon parties. chattering endless
nonsense at the top of their voices"
( There is no higher type of mother
hood than the American mother. no
more loyal and helpful wife than the
American wife. We have the same
kind Of women today that we had dur
/ ing the civil war, the same kind OF
women as those who have ever been
the inspiration of American men, as
those who have kept our lives as clean
as they have been and are. as those
who have maintained our standards us
high as we find them. despite the ma
terialism and commercialism Of the
age.
The writer in the English Review
sees something of this. He has dis
covered the American wife and
mother. He has seen her in her home
where she is at her best. He has seer
her courageous and independent anC
giving her courage and independence
to her sous. He finds that American
families are singularly united anC
carry on into mature age that unity
and affection which. az rule. las
only through q period of childhood.
1t is the American wife and mothe
who is responsible for much of thi
unity.
