Vermonters have got less money than
sentiment, perhaps, when they permit
the "old State House" in Rutland, which
was built in l778 and which was used
for one of the first sessions of the legis-
lature, to be RACED and replaced by a
modern dwelling house. We do not like
to think that the failure to preserve
the historic house was due to lack Of
veneration for things which have come
down to us from the earliest history OF
Vermont.

Governor Mead does well to deny that
he has pledged vermont's votes for re-
nomination OF Taft, because Governor
Mead is not in a position to pledge the
votes. The state convention is likely to
do that when it meets within two
months

Senator LaFollette's opinion of Col.
Roosevelt has not been announced; but
if each is after principles rather than
office, what difference does it make

It's the wrong tack for Roosevelts
manager to attack the Taft administra-
tion SO bitterly at the outset and it's
contrary to Rosevelt's purpose as ex-
pressly stated At least the latter ought
to be good reason for change OF
plan. President TAFT can suffer little
harm from such line of action, any
way.

If you could see him, but he'll learn,

And your faded face will look more

has seen in all his foolish dreams. and

and he'll bring you a new gown and
make you buy a new pair of pretty

He'll introduce you to all his pals

the park, and he'll show you the town

slept the time he got really down and
out and hadn't the price of a nights
lodging.
He'll take you to dine at the gay
restaurant you read about in the mag
azine articles on The Real Bohemia, :"
and he'll let you hate all his enemies
and love all his friends and be sweet
to all his sweethearts and then you'll
see that it was all worth while. The
long struggle, the bitter anxieties, the
cruel care-all worth while a thousand
times over, for he's a man; the boy
of yours man And you, the little
plain mother there at home, you are
the one who let him be a man, and

how it winds along among the shadows

voices calling from the dark woods
along the way? Look There's rough
place. l don't see how you'll get over
it. but that's your affair not mine.
I've walked the road, walked it in
sunshine and in storm. walked it with
bleeding feet and with a sore heart,
walked it when the stars sang together
for very joy.
What a thirsty road it is, and how
hungry you'll be sometimes; how ach-

minds that have too much society, too
little solitude Like leeches. they at
tach themselves to others, devouring
mental substance OF those who permit
themselves to be leeched of time and
thoughts
Those who talk too much think too
little. Those who spend too much time
in the company of their fellows have
too little time to gather a new fund
of thought and mental strength. New,
world changing ideas grow not in So
ciety, but solitude
But not so far apart" the great
alienist continues, that there is no sup
port and protection from the sun and
winds" If you want to be a. humani-
tartan, live in world of persons. If
scholar. live in a world Of ideas For
strength comes from solitude and gen
tleness from society. In solitude we
gather our forces. In society we scat
ter them. And those souls that have
grown to their fullest stature have
learned through much heartache that
friends are a luxury. not necessity.
The life that is best, the harmonious
one is that toward which the man
grown great in ministering to minds
diseased points the proximity that is
not too close. He would have man re-
main not always in society, nor yet
ever in solitude, but as a pendulum
that moves steadily through its arc be-
tween the two.
Solitude represents work, society
recreation. And each is better for the
other.

Advice to the

FRANKNEss YOUR ONLY COURSE
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax
am twenty and in love with a girl
of the same age. l am not engaged to
her, but hope to be engaged a soon as
my salary viii permit This young lady
tells other girls she cares great deal
for me, but when I ask her to go to af-
fairs she always consents, but when We
get there she pays all her attention to
other men and forgets me. She treats
me fine when we are alone. and that is
why dislike to give her up. as it would
break my heart, and If would speak
to her it might hurt her feelings.
Don't put off a proposal till your sal
airy permits. She has no knowledge OF
your intentions. and you haven't the
right of monopoly or criticism In a
way, an engagement would give You
both. Ask her to marry you, When
you have confessed a mutual love ! am
sure she will lose the desire to firt with
others.
