A vermOnter Abroad


A native of Vermont who left the
state when a small boy. in search Of
enlarged opportunities, and who is
now a prominent citizen of Philadel
phia. has written the Burlington Free
Press explaining and to some extent
deploring his departure. He decided
he says, that since Vermont money
was going to states at the westward
since 1t appeared to men of means
that Vermont was net COED enough
to invest In" It Was net tho best
plaza for a poor, ambitious lad tc
grow up In; but he now feels that II
he had his life to live over again, he
would stay and make a success at
home. Il believe" he adds that the
opportunities Of Vermont can be
made as inviting and profitable as
those Of any other state" And he
particularizes its mineral wealth and
the possibilities the state offers to the
farmer, the dairyman and the horti-
culturist-"to say nothing of indus
trial possibilities opening vistas
which as boy he could not perceive
but which las a man who has fought
and won elsewhere, now lie clearly
open before him.
This of course is not an isolated
experience. In every relation of life
we frequently fail to see the forest
because Of. the trees. The familiar
things that are near at hand seem to
forbid a broad view, and it is only
distance that lends enchantment. Pro
badly no man who has returned to
the town in which he was brought up
has failed to see there chances of
economic development which the peo-
pie who stayed on the ground have
overlooked. 1t is, however, question
able whether, IL that man also had
remained and had not broadened his
outlook by surveying other places,
his eyes could have beheld the Wis
ion. That much at least he gains
because of the association he has CIV
en- up, and it is possible that the ben
eft matches the loss No wise man
will try to dogmatize on this point.
He knows what his life is, but he
does not know what, in different sur
roundings, it might have been; and
if he can look back without shame
and forward without fear, he has no
occasion to indulge in vain regrets.
On one point, however, we are
heartily in accord with the cores
pondent, that being his confidence in
the natural wealth and resources of
his native state. 1t is an amazing
and almost an unbelievable thing,
that region SO attractive and so
rich in the possessions that lend COM
fort and charm to life should have
been so backward of growth; and the
same wonderment arises, though in a
lesser degree, when one studies
Maine and New Hampshire Yet we
do not believe that the expansion of
this northern tier OF states is any.
thing but belated. Sons and daugh-
ters returning to spend their last
years in familiar places, as the man
we have quoted designs to do, will
promote their upbuilding and various
movements of conservation and de-
yelopment that are now proceeding
in the three states will tempt bright
youth to seek their life work at
home. Meanwhile Maine and New
Hampshire and Vermont lie under no
suspicion OF inefIiciency, even though
they may not have done all they
might have done for themselves.
They have served as nurseries for
the nation.-Boston Transcript

No Excuse Now for Greasy Douehnuts

A lady in Greenville, S. c., recently
wrote friend as follows:
For years. after preparing doughnuts
with the utmost care, / was disap-
pointed to see them come out greasy
and unwholesome looking. However,
with my first use OF Cottolene for fry
Ing them, was delighted. as they were
brown. crisp and delicious.
For making doughnuts, pastry. light
bread and fiaky biscuits, / prefer Cotto-
lene to any other shortening on the mar

Cottolene-the perfect shortening-is
made from vegetable-oil; it contains no

unchanged in the last twelve
hours, up to 10 p. m. last night.
Ravetments guarding the great
delta have held. The cruieal
point was at Greenville, north of
Vicksburg. Here the food water
threatened to top the levee at any
moment.
The effect of the Golden Lake
break will be to stay the crest OF
the food in the lower river. 1t
will give thousands of laborers
strengthening dikse a chance to
make their work more sure.
All that water which escaped
from the river above Memphis
yesterday which will flow through
northeastern Arkansas will work
back into the Mississippi through
the st. Francis.
Conservative observers of the
trend of the food tide took a
more hopeful view of the situa-
tion last night.
The river is falling in the up
per stretches and is gradually
rising below. This tremendous
volume of water must drain into
the gulf and every hour that the
crisis in the lower river is delay
ed in just that ratio is increased
the chance of man to win.

RIVER NEWS.

Baton Rouge, La, April TO-
Governor Sanders has sent out a
letter to the presidents of all OF
the levee boards Of the state urg.
ing them to use every precaution
to protect the levees of the state
during the present high water
stage in the Mississippi, which
gives promise of breaking all rec
Ords.
Chief Engineer Kerr of the
state Board Of Engineers, has also
sent a letter to the levee board
members urging every vigilance
in the protection of the levees of
the state. The chief engineer says
that while the levee. system of
Louisiana is strong. and will be
able to withstand even a record
breaking rise, that the best pro-
lection is close watch of the

levees.
Mayor Roux had q conference
yesterday with the officials Of the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
road in regard to the levees here
in Baton Rouge. The Yazoo and
the Mississippi Valley road has
the task of maintaining the levees
in Baton Rouge. The indications
are that the water will come over
the present levees, and the va
zoo and Mississippi Valley road
has already begun placing sacks
along the water front to prevent
the rising water from getting on
the tracks. If the water reaches
AZ feet, as predicted, which will
be a foot over the high water of
1897, when the tracks of the va
zoo and Mississippi Valley were
flooded, the tracks and the inter-
ests in parts of Front street may
feel the effect.
There is little danger Of the
levee in the lower part of the city
breaking, as this has been recent
ly strengthened, but every pre-
caution for the protection of this
part of the water front is being
taken by the road.

adds to the great flood reach in
northeast Arkansas. Already
part of the district had been in

miles below the Golden Lake ere

the tariff and throwing the Amer
lean market open to the foreign
producer. This is absurd and
any economist who studies the
problem for five consecutive min
inutes will know that it is ab-
surd. To take the tariff off
American sugar will mean that
the industry will perish. The
tonnage will decrease just that
much and there will be nothing

porarily reduced perhaps, will in
the end bound upward again and

At Mercy Of Foreign Powers.
The congressman went further
into the details Of the Brnssel 8
conference today and showed def
initely the means taken by for
eign countries to protect rather
than destroy their sugar produce
ers. He said that they all realize
that it would be a misfortune if
their people were placed at the
mercy Of a foreign power in the
supply of sugar. That prompted
the Brussels conference and
prompted the various Europeon
governments to guarantee the pro-
lection Of their local sugar inter-
ests.
81 tremble for the American su-
gar consumer" said the Louisi-
ana congressman, "who is placed
at the mercy of the yellow man
and the black man who will be
looked to the sugar supply, should
the American crop be wiped out
and the American refiner driven
into bankruptcy"
Another sensation was pro-
duced before the senate commit
tee today when E. F. Dickinson,
Of New Orleans. who testified at
length last week, asked the COM
mittee for time to read . liter
from the president Of the National
Wholesale Grocers' assoclhtion.
This letter said that Lowry, the
supposed secretary of the sup
posed American Wholesale
Grocers association. with an Office
supposed to be in New York, was
absolutely unknown to the gr0cers
of this country.
Exists Only on Paper.
Lowry had posed before con-
gress as the spokesman of the
wholesale grocers in declaring
that they were responsible for the
agitation which resulted in the
Underwood bill. Several times
before this association has been
held up as facitious before the
committee and the letter today
from the country's greatest

shows that the Lowry concern has
mo existence except on paper.
