The new superintendent OF the Yer
mont house of correction, Merton H
Loukes, who was appointed by the Yer.
mont penal board yesterday, comes to
the institution with several years of ex-
perience in connection with Vermont
prisons and jails, having been connected
with the state prison at Windsor as
keeper or warden for upwards of six
years and having been keeper of the
Windsor county jail at Woodstock re-
Gently. That experience should have fit
ted him to take up the more important
work of the active management of one
OF Vermont's three state penal institu-
tons. Moreover, he is man just in the
prime of life and is likely to bring to
the work considerable degree of energy.
These things considered, the people of
the state hope for a good administra-
ton of the house of correction under
Superintendent Loukes.

The Quiet Life.

Sit down in corner somewhere
And don't make bit of noise;
Be still when the days are fair,
Cease longing for worldly joys;
Let other men advertise
The things that they have to sell;
Be contented just to look wise
And keep thinking that all is well
Take what may be passed your way,
But never reach after more.
And when you are old and gray
You will not have to lock your door
For thieves will have no desire
To get what you may acquire.

CURRENT COMMENT
Advice to vermont Republicans.

One of the first things that the Re-
publicans of the state should do if they
wish to enter the approaching campaign
without a serious handicap is to reor-
ganize the state committee. 1t is no Sc
cret that the committee as it is now
made up does not represent that element
of the party which must be depended
upon for future success. The small
amount of public enthusiasts mthat the
committee was able to arouse last year
is pretty good indication of this fact.
For the good of the Republican party
and The Reformer makes the assertion
from an absolutely Independent view
point-most of the men who are now on
the state committee should step aside
Their opportunity for political service
will be much greater in case they do

sey City and Toronto clubs broke league
records for the longest game ever played.
The teams played 20 innings to sie,
neither side scoring. Hearne, the Tor
onto pitcher, stayed through the whole
game. Thompson, the Jersey City heav-
err, was relieved at the 18th inning to
allow pinch hitter in.
Denton T. Young, the famous old man
of baseball. is confident that there is
room for three big league ball clubs in
the country. Young has been playing
baseball now about 80 years. He played
in the National league and saw the
American league start. The American
league was success as at the time

The World Is Sick of Worlds Fairs.

Following the formal notices of Great
Britain and Germany that their govern
ments will make no exhibits at the San
Francisco fair, Italy now gives out word
that it is in a similar mood though the
Italian Parliament made an oppropria
ton for an exhibit few months ago
There are other countries yet to be heard
from. 1t is not the result of hostility
to this country or TO the city of San
Francisco. 1t is simply that the coun-
tries in question are sick of worlds
fairs, and particularly sick of participat.
ing in the apparently endless chain of
the fairs that our American cities have
habit of holding on all sorts of pre-.
texts, but really as means OF adver-
Using themselves and of booming their
local mercantile and hotel business. Our
own government and the states are
equally sick of il, but eomplaeently al
low themselves to be held up for big
appropriations for each successive fair.
The general feeling against the San
Francisco fair, at home and abroad, is
not feeling against the city. 1t exists
simply because San Francisco insists on
holding a fair after half a dozen have
been held that were failures, or worse.
The exposition business has been sadly
overdone There should be an end of
it for at least decade or two.--Boston
Herald.

PUBLIC INTEREST IN SPORTS
1t Is the Spectacular In Athletics
Which Makes Games Popular
With the People.

If interest in athletics were confined
to athletes, the value of athletics
would be lessened about SO per cent
The only way to rouse public interest
in athletic sports is by their spectac-
.ular character
The value of football lies In the ten
thousand prairie organizations which
train hundred thousand boys in
nerve and team work each year. But
these prairie teams would not exist
If the great college teams did not give
thrilling spectacles each fall. These
great matches keep up that keen pub
lie interest without which football
would be forgotten.
The same is true Of baseball Ev-
cry lad swattfng balls in vacant lot
models his play on that of some big
league hero and dreams of himself in
that hero's place on the diamond.
A sport which is only spectacle
would not be worth much. But sport
which has no exhibition value never
gets beyond a small circle. II Amer
lea ever finds winter game to take
the place which baseball holds in sum
mer and football in autumn, it will be
a game which rivals these great sports
in thrilling spectacular appeal

HIGH AT COLLEGE
Anna NJ. Wolfe Wins Honors In Ev-
cry Branch at Iowa

years course for girls over eighteen
years of age who have not had high
school training but who wish to study
scientific cooking and home making.
Miss Wolf was offered position In
the Keokuk high school but the trus-
tees at the college offered very great
inducements to keep her In Ames.
In athletics Miss Wolf stood at the
very top. There are three games, has
ket ball, hockey and tennis. A pupil
