much smaller than ours. Suppose 1000
Americans opposed 900 Japs. The
mere difference I'm size makes Ameri-
cans the better targets This differ
ence is small when comparing merely
two men. but multiply that difference
by quarter million and see what it

PAGEANT NOTES.

o. L. French, who is busily engaged
in gathering historical data from which
to write the various episodes for the
Pageant, has found many interesting
facts about early Brattleboro history and
dramatic and true, and which are to be
used in the various scenes.
The prologue What the sprite Of
Wantastiquet saw" is particularly inter-
esting and weaves the various pictures
xogether ,, i.,
fishing-feast of the berries, etc, is to
be in charge of the order of Red Men,
who furnish the braves. The Daughters
of Pocahontas will have their members
also in this scene and the canoe club
expect some 25 or 80 of their expert
canoeists to take part.
The building of the wigwams, the
camp fire, the pipe of peace and finally
the Indian dance, THE Feast of the
Berries" will be given, in which the In
dian canoeists on their way down the
river will stop.
The Indian music in this scene is par
ticularly weird and is typical Of the
pagan Indians. The costumes will be
historically correct, the whole setting
being very artistic.
The various episodes and, brief de-
scription of each will be given from
week to week, there being II in all and
over 400 people in the cast.
The music of the pageant has been Sc
lected with great care. The dances are
odd as well as beautiful and will be ac-
companied by a large orchestra.

The sketch of Frank L. Greene, which
the Greene club of st. Adams has sent
out in pamphlet form, is an inspiration
to all ambitious boys with limited oppor-
tunities. who are forced to get their
experience in the school of hard knocks.
Mr.. Greene, regardless of whether he
will be elected to Congress (and We be-
lieve he wild is recognized as one of the
best informed men on state and general
affairs and state problems in Vermont
today. 1t is rather surprising, even to
some of us who have known him for
years, to learn that the orphan boy was
obliged to hustle for an existence at the
age of eight years and that he never at
tended school after he was Is. But des-
pite all handicaps Mr.. Greene became an
expert stenographer at the time when
most boys are still in the public schools,
and editor of an influential daily paper
before he was 30.

One of Our Greatest Public Men.

The Railroad Age Gazette, one of the
leading periodicals of its class in Ameri-
lea, pays that distinguished Vermonter,
Charles A. Prouty of Newport, a fine
compliment in rating him as one of the
greatest public men in the country. The
Gazette says:
Mr.. Prouty has now been on the Inter-
state Commerce Commission for 16
years. During all this time many rail-
way men have regarded him as too rad
ical in his views. Some have even
thought that he has had a certain
amount of bias against the railways.
But they have never questioned his in
tention to be impartial nor have they
ever, In public or in private, questioned
his sturdy integrity and his intellectual
eminence. He has the weaknesses of his
virtues, but the Railway Age Gazette
believes that he ranks today in point of
character and in point of ability among
the very greatest public men in America,
There are some people who think that
Mr.. Roosevelt has Influenced railway reg
ulation in this country more than any
other person. The man who has put his
imprint most deeply on railway regula-
ton in the United States is not Mr..
Roosevelt, but Charles AFRO Prouty. His
are mainly the ideas that have been en-
bodied in the Act to Regulate Commerce;
his mainly the tone that up to the pre-
sent time has been given to the admin
istration of that law by the Interstate
Commerce Commission These are some
of the things-and another is his schol-
arly and effective use of the English
language that make Mr.. Prouty's utter
ances as interesting to those who differ
from him as those who concur with him

HOME RULE BILL FOR IRELAND.

The home rule bill which has been in
troduced in the British Parliament by
Premier Asqulth is pronounced by Irish
leaders a better measure than either bill
offered by the late Mr.. Gladstone. 1t is
likely to receive the appreciation of
large majority of the population of Ire
land outside of Ulster, where it is vio-
lently opposed.
The bill does not grant national inde-
pendence to Ireland, but that is out of
the question so long as the island re-
mains a part of the British empire. But
1t does grant a large measure of auton
omy in its home affairs, and
voice, proportional to its population, in
the Imperial Parliament. The bill pro-
vides that Ireland shall have AZ members
at Westminster, and shall set up a Par
lament of it's own to consist of Senate
of 45 members and a House of 164 men,
bers. The Irish Parliament besides leg
islating in regard to home affairs, will
also have power within certain limits,
to reduce imperial taxes and change the
excise duties The income tax and the
stamp and estate duties will remain I'M
der imperial control. The postal SER
vice will be turned over to the Irish
government The Irish constabulary is
to be transferred to 1t after six years,
and by giving a years notice it may as
sumo control of the old age pensions and
national insurance acts The collection
of taxes will remain in the imperial SER
vice A veto power over the acts of the
Irish Parliament will be held by the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, who will be
the head of the executive government of
the island.

Horace w. Bailey has performed an
other public service in writing interest
ingly to the Rutland News a story Of the
remarkable career of Matthew Lyon, the
Irish refugee who was such a picturesque
figure in the early history of Vermont.
Lyon was the only man ever elected to
Congress from three states. He served
in the national House of Representatives
from Vermont and Kentucky and was e.
lected to represent Arkansas, but died
before taking his seat. He narrowly es-
capped expulsion from the house after en-
gaging in a hand to hand fight with Rep
resentative Griswold of Connecticut, and
wrote a so-called seditious letter to the
Windsor journal which resulted in term
of Imprisonment in Jail. While in Jail he
was reelected to Congress, and after he
left Jail his progress through Ver-
mont for Philadelphia, where Congress
was in session, was grand triumphal
march, probably the most sincere and yet
spectacular ovation ever accorded mortal
being in the Green Mountain state"
