The recommendations of the committee
of nine, looking toward educational re-
form in Vermont published in The
Phoenix last week, are worthy of care
full consideration by every member of
the legislature. There is nothing par
tisan about them, in fact the main OBJ
ject of these propositions is to take the
bill will soon be introduced at Mont
pelier reorganizing the state board Of
education, giving 1t large powers and
duties. The state superintendent of ed
ucation is to be the executive officer of
the board and appointed by the board
If the bill becomes a law, the state su-
perintendent elected by seven members
of the board of education, will not like
ly be so much interested in politics as
he naturally would be If elected by a
Legislature of 277 members Other
changes in existing law will be suggested
only, but 1t is expected the committees
on education in both House and Senate
will pay some attention to what the ed
ucators of the state have offered for
their consideration, If the state board
of education is reorganized it will re-
main for Governor Fletcher to name
the very best men and women in the
state. They ought to be chosen for their
on the normal school situations, the
present state superintendent or any other
controversial matter.

Then length of Rev. Mr.. Osgood's pre-

and he has won the confidence of the
voters in the school district to an ex-
ceptional degree. not only by his rec
ord in office, but by his open and candid
discussion of public school matters.

Empty Pocket Books.
1t was with no small degree of satis-
faction that Republicans in this village
learned yesterday that Austin w. Roel
well-known Democrat and nominee of
that party for senator from the south
ern district of Windham county, was an
outspoken supporter of William H. Taft
for President. For a number of days
the Republicans have felt that the tide
was turning, quietly, but none the less
surely toward President Taft, but SUD-
port from Democratic circles hardly was
to be expected. Mr. Roel is still Dem
ocrat, but at this period in the coun-
trys progress he believes that President
Tafe should be continued in office for
another term.
When the report reached The Phoenix
once that Mr.. Roel, one of the best
known Democrats In Windham county.
had announced hfs intention not to be
governed by Democratic partisan in
nuences he was called by telephone and
was asked If the report was correct
with characteristic frankness he said

two other candidates

Roel TO the man at the telephone. "and

De elected. The country never was in a
more prosperous condition than it is
today, and 1 believe in letting well

be high, but l would rather have it so
ana De getting good pay than to have
things cheap and nothing to pay for
them with.
Help is scarce. which shows that ey-
erybody is busy and receiving good
wages. The farmer is getting higher
prices for his produce than he has been
able to get before for many years, and l
don't believe he will vote for any change
IN administration now. My advice to the
laboring man is to support Taft. 1t will
be for their interest to do So
When asked what his opinion of Roose-
welt was, Mr.. Roel answered: Il have a
pretty small opinion of him. He isn't a
mt man for the place. And Grandma
Wilson may be all right to run a COL
lege, but he isn't big enough man for
the presidency. They can't get a better
man than is in the chair now, and he
ought to be reelected. One thing that
we ought to be mighty careful of Is how
we NEEDLE with the tariff. II we go to
monkeying with it without knowing
what we are about well have hard times

Mr.. Roel, who is superintendent Of the
Brattleboro Retreat farm. is known by
FARMERS and others throughout the
country and the statements here quoted
coming from man of his standing and
man of his associations in Democratic
circles. must make it apparent to many
that the Democrats are not so thorough
ly intrenched in the present political
campaign as they have been credited
with being.

Gov. Wilson's attitude toward Pres
ident Taft is in striking contrast with
that OF Col. Roosevelt In his Minnesota
speech he said: II want to pay my
tribute of respect to Mr.. Taft. think
nobody who fully understands the facts
will deny the patriotism, the integrity and
the honesty of purpose of the man who

cratic candidate feels that in honesty

the White House, though differing from
him in political policy.

UNKIND WORDS.

Charity of speech is as divine q
thing as charity of action. To judge
no one harshly, to misconceive no
mans motives, to believe things are
as they seem to be until they are
proved otherwise, to temper judg-
meIt with mercy-surely this Ia
quite as good as to build up
churches, establish asylums and
found colleges. Unkind words do as
much harm as unkind deeds. Many
heart has been stabbed to death
by few little words. There Is a
charity which consists in withhold
ing words, in keeping back harsh
Judgment. in abstaining from speech
II to speak Is to condemn. Such
charity hears the tale OF SANDER,
but does not repeat IT.; listens In
silence but forbears comment; then
locks the unpleasant secret up in the
very depths Of the heart. Silence
eau still rumor. 1t is speech that
keeps story alive and lends II
vigor.

BLAMEs THE PEOPLE.

1.-The rule Of the few must end
and the whole people have a voice"
said Senator LaFollette In his speech
at Lincoln. Who can prevent their
having a voice? asks the New York
World. They already have a voice
If they care to use it. Why don't
candidates tell the frank truth and
say that American politics has been
messed up for years because of the
ignorance, the Indifference, the
neglect and the shiftlessness OF the
people themselves? With power to
do everything that ought to be done.
they have persistently refused to
take the trouble to use that power.
The people have not been robbed,
for they made themselves Access
series before the fact. They have
not been defrauded Of their rights;
they have thrown away their rights,
and the blame should not be shifted
from their shoulders.

BRADLEY CONTROLS.

The Republicans of Kentucky met
in delegate convention in Louisville
on Wednesday and Thursday OF this
week. Previous to the meeting the
delegates from the Fifth district
including the Taft and Roosevelt
followers, compromised their DIFF
terences, each side taking half of the
local delegation.
The convention itself was domin-
ated by Senator William o. Bradley,
and when the Kentucky Irish
American went to press they were
still wrangling.
The fact that the Fifth district
wranglers compromised led to the
belief that the Roosevelt and Taft
men would be harmonious through
out the State, but 1t seems they are
so far apart and so many oppose
Senator Bradley that they will never
be able to get together in time for
the November election. In no event
can they carry Kentucky.

BISHOPS WARNING.

In a solemn warning against the
dangerous encroachments of Social
ism not only in England and Scot
land and many Continental States,
but also In ireland, Bishop Clancy
calls upon the people of Sligo not to
be allured into a false position by
the pretended sympathy with the
poor OF Socialists who are now try
ing to gain a foothold in certain
Irish cities. From his address we
take the following, which all Cath
Ole men should know:
Socialism pretends to find a
panacca for poverty and all other
social evils. But its remedies are
at best the unsound and unscientific
prescriptions of the quack. To con-
vince ourselves Of this we have only
to reflect that the principles of
Socialism as a system OF economics
have been condemned by two Popes
in succession as contrary to the
moral law, and that, as is manifest
from the present conditions OF indus
trial life in England and Germany,
the evils which 1t brings in its train
are far greater than those 1t pro-
poses to redress"

VALUE TO SOUTH.

Henry d. Graves. Chief Forester
OF the United States Department of
Agriculture. in an address Monday
before the Southern Commercial
Congress at Nashville pointed out
the value of the timber interests in
the Southern States, giving statistics
and suggestions that should receive
careful attention. He says in part:
I'm any consideration of the indus
trial development OF the South, the
problems which stand out as most
important are those connected with
agriculture and forestry. The South

second only to the State Of Washing

while Mississippi. North Carolina.
Arkansas. Virginia and Texas are
all ahead OF any other State. The

ploys some 217,oo0 persons. and the

POPE Plus X. LIVES.

The Christian world was shocked
Thursday morning when extras OF
the daily papers announced the unex-
pected and sudden death Of Pope
Plus X. within a few hours after
ward came news that there was no
foundation for the rumor, and that
She beloved Pontiff was alive and
well, which was received with ex-
pressions of gratitude from Catholic
and non-Catholic alike. Catholics
everywhere gave thanks to God when
the truth became known and prayed
that his life may long be spared.

THE IRISH MONKS.

There are two Irish monks. both
born in the sixth century, whose
nanes are often COMPOUNDED even by
eminent scholars-Columba and
Columbanus. COLUMBIA was born In
Ulster in sal and Columbanus in
Leinster In SAB. The latter we find
in Italy at the monastery of Bobbio
of which he was Abbot. Indeed In
the seventh and eighth centuries
Irish monks were the virtual schol-
ars OF Northern Italy, Switzerland
and Germany. The monastery OF st
Gall in Switzerland owes its origin
to the Irish monk. Gallus (St. Gall)
Il was founded about the year 613.
This monastery was center OF
learning and culture for several hun
bred years. Many of its monks ex-
celled as poets, others cultivated
painting and sculpture and others
exquisite cloistral arts. Their
library became the richest In the
world. The monks of st. Gall, too,
were good Greek scholars and those
most addicted to the cultivation OF
the "Cecropian Muse" were denom-
mated "Fratres Bllenieri."
The standard of learning among
these Irish monks, says thinner,
was much higher than with Gregory
the Great and his followers. II was
derived without Interruptions from
the learning of the fourth century
from scholars such as st. Ambrose,
81. Jerome, St. Augustine. Here also
were to be found such specimens OF
classical literature as virgils works
among the ecclesiastical writing and
as we have already said. an acquaint-
ance with Greek authors. The
beauty of these early manuscripts OF
the Irish monks as found at st. Gall
Is praised by all authors and the
names OF the best transcribers find
honorable mention in their annals.
they manufactured their own parch-
ment out Of the hides OF the wild
beasts that roamed through the
and forests around them
md prepared II with such skin that
4 acquired a peculiar delicacy. AS
IN evidence OF what Irish scholar
Ihip was doing on the continent in
he Middle Ages we have only 20
mention the following illustrious
names: Clemens Dicuil and
Johannes scotus Erigena at the
Court school: Dungal at Pavia In
italy; Sedullus Scotus at Liege;
Virgil at Salzburg. and Moengal at

the forests in a way to benefit the
South permanently. 1t is claimed
that unless there is a correction Of
the existing conditions the supply Of
forest products will not be main

or vanish, land values will be per-
manently reduced, and the benefits
arising from the mere existence Of
