SUMMER PLACES WANTEn

Each year more and more sum-
mer sojourners from all over the
country are seeking pleasant spots
in New England, patronizing we'll
managed hotels and the pleasantly
located boarding places and farms
where paying guests are received.
Each season thousands of people
turn to the advertising columns of
the Boston Evening Transcript
where so many announcements of
summer places are published.
Many families prefer to lease
farms, houses or cottages in the
country. Hundreds of properties
are sold every season to parties
from Eastern and Western cities
who are attracted by advertise
ments in the Transcript.

products of their labor. In the last
coal strike the miners secured an
advance amounting in the aggre-
gate to $14,OOO,00O and the coal
operators got $20,OOO,OOO by ad-
vancing the price of coal and the
consumers paid it, After the great
coal strike ten years ago coal went
up to a high price where 1T has
since remained. Now the question
is not whether labor organizations
on the whole are a benefit to the
world, but whether one would ben

man in st. Johnsbury, uninfuenced
by outsiders, ought to be able to de-

A Peopleless Government

A strange voice Chat of Gov.
Hodge of Kansas) is heard in these
days Of dedication of 1.-The people"
crying for a government by a Sc
lected few. Gov. Hodge is a demo-
crat too and the democrats have
cried loud and long for ''the peo-
pie" In a message to the Kansas
legislature he advocates the abol-
ishment of the dual legislative sys-
tenn which has been in vogue in
that state ever since it's organiza-
ton and the substitution of single
legislative assembly composed of
not more than two and preferably
one member from each congression-
al district of the state. He says:-
My judgment is that the govern
or should be ex-officio a member
and presiding officer of this assem-
bly,, and that it should be permitted
to meet in such frequent and regu-
lar or adjourned sessions as the eX-
igencies of the public business may
demand; that their terms of Office
be for four or six years, and that
they be paid salaries sufficient to
justify them in devoting their en-
tire time to the public business.
Such a legislative assembly would
not, l believe, be more expensive
than our present system. 1t would
centralize responsibility and &C
countability and under the check
of the recall would be quickly re-
sponsive to the wishes of the peo-
pie.
A legislative assembly such as
have suggested could give ample
time to the consideration of every
measure, not only in relation to it's
subject matter, but to the drafting
of it in plain, concise and easily
understandable language. 1t would
be ready at any time to deal with
new conditions and to provide re-
lief in emergency cases, and, with
time to inform itself about condi-
tions, and to study the needs of the
people, and of our state inStitu-
tions, there seems to me to be no
question but what it would be vast
ly more efficient than our present
system, as we'll as vastly more eco
nomical.
That this would be consider
able change from the established
order of things in America is evil
dent and that it would be better
than some features of the old order
seems probable. But it is out pro-
crossing the progressives and the
average American will wait little
before attempting such radical
changes. Here in Vermont it would
reduce the obituary columns Of the
country weekly to a very material
extent because in writing up accom-
plishments of the substantial cit
izen" of the small town nothing
could be said of his legislative ca
reer of one term in the legislature
when it was Ibis turn to CO.
But it would give a little more
space for the exploitation of him
as "a kind and loving husband and
a man always ready to help those
in distress elf. it did not cost him
anything) and one who will be
greatly missed by his family and
large cirlce of mourning friends"
The suggestion has given Gov.
Hodge some publicity and probably
will earn for him the verdict of "a
man in advance of his time"

In reply to the Morrisville Mes
senger's suggestion that The Gale
DOMAIN give the facts concerning the
campaign funds of the republican
state committee during the last
campaign we can only say that no
one in this Office collected or disburs-
ed a single dollar for the state COM
mittee. Therefore we do not pos
sess the knowledge necessary to
make a statement on that subject.
We can say personally that the sdi-
tor spoke at several republican raj
lies during the campaign and has
received from the committee his
railroad and hotel expenses and no
more. We do, not know what ar
rangements other speakers made OF
what they have received.

 In an article iii the Journal of Race Development on the practice of medi cine in China, pr. c. W. Young of the Union Medical college of Picking quotes this from work on medical ethics: s
 When patient is severely i'll treat him as thou wouldest wish to be treat ed myself. !. If thou art called to a con tatfon go att once. and do not delay, If he ask thee for medicine give it to him at once. and do not ask if he be rich or poor. Use thy heart always to save life and to please all So will. thine own happiness be exalted. III the midst of the darkness of the world be sure there is some one who is pro tecting thee. When thou art called to an acute illness and thinkest with all thy might of nothing but making mon ey out of the patient, if thy heart bc not filled with love of thy neighbor, be sure that in the yworId there Is some one who will punish thee"

Early New York.

New York city had become one ot the most important places on the coast before 175O. Its great advantages were it's fine harbor and the noble riv- CT which emptiea into it. The other towns on the coast were shut off from the far west by the Appalachian mountains or the Alleghenies, whicE follow the Atlantic coast at a distance of 100 to POO miles from it from Geor- gia to Maine. But the Hudson river broke through this barrier and gave New York easy access to Canada and the profitable Indian trade. In 1897 the city contained about 4,30O inhab- itants, about one-third being slaves. It extended from the Battery to a pal isaded wall, where Wall street now runs All above Wall street was in the country. The population grew to about $500 in 1730 and about 12,oOo in 175O.
