WEST BRATTLEBORO
Letter from Charlotte NJ Jobrson

HeVer from charlotte M, Johnson.
In letter recently received from Miss
charlotte NJ. johnson, who is mission
AIRY In Shanghai, China, very vivid
picture is given of the floods, famine,
and war which have wrought such havoc
IN that country. Some provinces in the
northern part of China and along the
banks of the Yang-tse river have had
great floods and have suffered from
famine three years. Another great trouble
which the people had to contend with was
the battles between the revoutionists
and the royalists, and on account of this
war many robbers infested the land and
took away the goods Of the poor people.
She speaks of the suffering of one family
who saw the approach of the flood,
man, his wife and two children. They
hurriedly gathered together q little food
and clothing and left their home to find
higher ground. They wandered about
until they came to hill and found a cave
in which they stayed two weeks Here one
of their children died. After two weeks
OF sorrow, privation and almost starv-
alton, the waters subsidized so they could
see the ocean, but not living thing, and
their hopes were nearly gone with no
expectation of ever leaving the cave,
when they heard dogs which were hunt
ing for dying men" They shouted fran
tcally in response to the bark of the
dogs, and the dogs brought them a pound
OF bread, bottle of wine and bottle Of
water, and a letter which told them the
gifts were from Christians and not
poisoned The next day they followed in
the footprints of the dogs, until they
found living place, and by their fellow
men they were regarded as unfortunate
ones. The Yang-tse villages suffered
seriously last autumn from the floods
which came before the vegetables, rice,
and corn were harvested, and although
the people went into the water breast
high to reap the rice and corn ears and
brought them out and dried them on the
roofs of their houses, they did not secure
more than one-fourth of harvest The
famine followed and became so terrible
that parents often sold their children to
be slaves. Little girls who came to the
refuge school from which this letter was
written were among the number. Some
were sold to opium eaters who tortured
them with red hot pointed irons which |
were used for burning opium Some were |
sold so often that they did not know |
where to go, and some sought refuge in |
this school, where there were 100 such |
girls. The whole country suffers from
war and famine, but the people are look
ing forward hopefully to better times.

ROOSEVELT AND RECIPROCITY.

Republicans who purpose to support
Mr.. Roosevelt for the nomination in
preference to President Taft because
they are not in sympathy with the Pres
ident's efforts to bring about reciprocity
with Canada should carefully read the
views of Mr.. Roosevelt expressed while
the measure was pending in the Senate
during the 61st Congress. Only week
after the measure had passed the house
Mr.. Roosevelt made two speeches, one
at the banquet of the Lincoln club of
Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. IL, 1911, and
two days afterward before the Republi-
can club of New Work at the Lincoln
day dinner In both these speeches Mr.
Roosevelt referred to the reciprocity
measure in the most emphatic language,
and gave it his unqualified approval.
Reciprocity with Canada is dead. 1t was
not party measure, and had friends
and opponents in both parties. 1t is no
longer an issue in American politics, but
If Mr. Roosevelt is to be preferred to
Mr.. Taft solely because of Mr.. Tafts
activity in a measure which was not
universally approved, then what Mr.
Roosevelt thought about the matter
should be considered. His opinions
were expressed in the following Ian.
guage:
tGrand Rapids speech, Feb. 70, 1911
Here, friends in Michigan, right on
the northern frontier, l have the pc
culiar right to say a word of coneratu
lation to you and to all of us upon the
likelihood that we shall soon have closer
reciprocal tariff and trade relations
WIN the great nation to the north of us
ana reel so pleased, primarily be-
cause l wish to see the two peoples, the
canadian and the American peoples.
orawn together by the closest ties on a
footing of complete equality Of inter-
est and mutual respect I feel that il
should be one Of the cardinal policies
OF TINS Republic to establish the very
closest relations of good will and friend
snip with the Dominion of Canada"
New York speech Feb. 49, 1911
Il want to say how glad 1 am at the
way IN which the members of the club
here tonight responded to the two ap-
pealS made to them to uphold the
hands of President Taft, both in his
enort to secure reciprocity with Cam
ada and in his effort to secure the for
of the Panama canal
And in addition to what has been
said about reciprocity with Canada,
would like to make this point: 1t should |
always be cardinal point in our for |
elgn policy to establish the closest and |
most friendly relations of equal respect |
and advantage with our great neighbor
on the north. And / hail the reciproc- |
ny arrangement because it represents an
EFFORT to bring about a closer a more |
intimate, a more friendly Relationship
Oh mutual advantage on equal terms
between Canada and the United States.

FOR TAFT.

IL is reported that five anonymous men
ircm Lamoile county visited Col Roose-
welt recently and gave him assurance
Of some support from Vermont in his
candidacy. 1t goes without saying that
the entire state was very loyal to Roose-
welt during his two administra lions. but
'he question now is whether he or Taft
should receive the next Republican nom
nation, and the obvious answer is that
Taft should receive it If he is equally
well qualified and would be as popular
candidate as Roosevelt Four wears ago
Roosevelt himself, from his intimate
acquaintance with Taft and observa ton
OF MIN in places of great responsibility.
gave MIN the highest Endorsement in
respect to ability, integrity and in care
Tor the welfare of the people, Taft has
proved the truth of this encomium and
will have added to these qualifications
four years of severe experience in the
administration of government before he
can again take the oath of office But
the record he has made is infinitely bet
ter evidence of his qualifications than the
certificate that any man could give him.
Beginning his administration under
great difficulties, President Taft by his
wisdom, his unselfshness, his high sense
OF justice, by the many beneficent public
measures that he has caused to be en-
acted has steadily grown in the estima-
tlon OF the people of this cosntry until
ne now stands in public regard where
Roosevelt once stood, and where he
might now stand, but for his unaccount-
able utterances since his return from
abroad The evidences from all parts of
the country Of Taft's popularity as "a
candidate are increasing. These things
pelng so, common justice, common fair
ness, the square deal" demand his re-
nomination. Business and business men
all the people-would feel secure under
his judicious, considerate, level-hea ded
conduct of national affairs.

NAMES FOREST LANDS.
Payment into the State Funds Suggests
A Valuable Object Lesson for Vermont.

A recent item in the Bangor Com
mercial of Maine states that Land Com
| missioner Mace has just turned into the
treasury of that state SIS, 25252, received
for the sale Of stumpage and rentals
from the reserved school lands of the
plantations and townships 1t appears
that the state of Maine has wisely re-
tanned control of So different tracts of
1000 acres each in as many unorganiZed
sections of the state, the timber land to
be available for school purposes as soon
as the townships are settled.
The article referred to does not state
whether this land is being handled on
forestry principles with the idea Of
obtaining a permanent income, but it
suggests what a splendid thing II would
be for Vermont TO own similar tracts in
the Green Mountains, which could not
only safeguard the states scenery, but
furnish excellent examples of forestry
to the private owners, and, last but not
least, yield a permanent income to the
state. Forest land properly managed
should yield a permanent net income Of
from " to s. an acre, so the revenue
from tracts of 10000 acres might be ex-
pected to range somewhere between
s150,O0p and 100000,
OF the four state forests in Vermont,
only one of them consisting of 500 acres,
the J.. Il. Jones forest in Plainfield, is
practically self supporting and will soon
yield profit. This land with considerable
wood and lumber on it has cost the state
about S. an acre. and it is an admirable
example of great tracts which can be
purchased at similar price
The fact that these lands in Maine
are to be eventually devoted to the sup
port of the schools reminds us that there
are in Vermont considerable areas OF
school lands belonging to the various
towns. The question naturally arises as
to whether these lands are being man
aged for the benefit Of the schools of the
state or Of the individuals who hold the
leases. Many OF these tracts are natural
forest lands, and as such should yield a
permanent income OF no little value TO
the towns.

THE ETERNAL GOODNESS.

/ long for household voices gone,
For vanished smiles / long.
But God hath led my dear ones on,
And He can do no wrong.
! know not what the future hath
OF marvel or surprise.
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.
And If m. heart and flesh are weak
To bear an untried pain,
The bruised reed He will not break
But strengthen and sustain.
NO onering of my own | have
Nor works my faith to prove;
! can but give the gift He gave.
And plead His life for love.
And so beside the Silent Sea
! wait the muffied oar;
NO harm from Him can come to me
On ocean or on shore.
l know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air,
l only know | cannot drift
Beyond His love and care
John Greenleaf Whittier
