The World Is Bright
Before Thee

IN HE world is bright before thee.
Its summer flowers are thine.
N Its calm blue sky is DER thee,
Thy bosom pleasures shrine,
And thine the sunbeam given
To natures morning hour,
Pure, warm as when from heaven
II burst on Edens bower.
There is a song Of sorrow.
The death dirge Of the gay,
That tells ere dawn Of morrow
These charms may melt away;
That suns bright beam be shaded;
That sky be blue no more,
The summer flowers be faded
And youths warm promise Ger.
Believe II not-though lonely
Thy evenings home may be.
Though beauty's bark can only
Float on a summer sea,
Though Time thy bloom is stealing,
There's still beyond his art
The Wild flower wreath OF feeling,
The sunbeam OF the heart.

Sound Boy Advice from Island Pond.

Who is to blame if a boy goes
From observation made here and else
where, we believe it is the parents.
Every time the boy gets in trouble.
the mother goes and pleads for him,
which is but natural, but there lies
the very trouble. she has been
pleading for him all her life-instead
of correcting him.
The mother who has no authority
over her son, has herself to blame if
he comes to grief But she declares.
spank him she will not; it is degrad-
ing. But not half so degrading as to
have him brought into court for
stealing. or Keeling along the streets
drunk. or swearing regardless of who
is passing. which can be heard almost
any night in Island Pond We believe
it is painful to chastise child, but it
is more painful for the parent than
the child. The parent who will put
his own personal feelings before the
welfare of his child, and will not
slap him when it is for his own good,
is not worthy of being called parent.
The great Napoleon was spanked yes,
and he was 10 years old when it
happened. There is bunch of would
be-toughs here in Brighton, who would
profit by the same treatment. Their
parents have left them to their own
devices. The home is the place where
they get their meals, where the man
: lives who gives them their education,
if they can be kept in school, and the
, woman who scolds them if they come
in late.
We do not need to be told that the
boys of today show signs of degenera
ton. They SLOUGH along, where they
7 used to walk erect; they give
f grudging greeting to their elders
where they used to look them cheerily
in the face; they behave toward

Congressman Plumley of this dis
trict, made his most important speech
in Congress last week when he
presented in very concise and clear
manner the history of tariff making
and its effect on the nation. He then
spoke of the effect the present tariff
changes would have upon various
Vermont industries as mentioned else
where in this paper. Barton is
especially interested in one item Mr..
Plumley mentions in his speech and
that is the granite schedule. Barton
has some granite quarries which are
being developed. and the tariff re-
duction on granite may have a direct
local effect on it's development and the
future of our town.
Is it at all probable that a direct
election of United States senators by
the people, as our next election OF
senators will be, will result in the
selection of any better men in Yer
mont than we have had? The Monitor
is inclined to favor the move because
it places the election of public ser
wants where it belongs-by the people
and not by acreage representation
as is the case now with the presen
scheme of representation in our state
legislature-but fails to see where ou
voters will find better men than ou
legislatures have found in choosing
rather illustrious list of Vermont
senators. Edmunds. Morrill,, Procto,
and other Vermont senators were
among the nations prominent men.

GET THAT ADVISOR NOW.

GET THAT ADVISOR NOW.
The Monitor has watched with great
interest the movement in Orleans
county for a government expert
agricultural advisor. This paper first
brought the matter into public notice
in Orleans county. 1t has given much
space to the enterprise because it
believed in the movement and when
the matter came to an ultimate head
in the organization of the "Orleans
County Agricultural Association, at
Newport. as reported in this paper,
the Monitor was much pleased. The
disappointing feature of that meeting
was to learn that the government
funds for it's part of the payment of
county advisor were at present used
up, Orleans county being just behind
the money. That is, the last available
money was taken by a county with
just bit more hustle than ours Too
many farmers here had said they
would "wait and see" But there's no
use of crying over spilled milk. We
must have that agricultural advisor in
Orleans county And the Monitor is
giong to suggest a plan whereby he
may be secured at once
In place of the $1,000 a year coming
from the government under the former
plan. let the $1,000 year come from
the towns of this county under the
following act, passed at our last
legislature:
Clowns may, at an annual meeting
or at special meeting, legally warned
for that purpose, appropriate sum Of
money to pay its share of the expense
incurred in the employment of a
government county agricultural adj
wiser; the sum appropriated by any
town to be such proportional part of
the sum of twelve hundred dollars as
the grand list of said town bears to
the total grand list of the county
eff at any time the federal
government shall demand a sum other
than twelve hundred dollars from a
county, the towns in such county may
appropriate such sum subject to the
conditions of the preceding section"
Let the member Of the advisory board
in each town see to it that a town
meeting is called in his town for the
purpose of appropriating its share of
the $1,000 as provided for in this act.
Then let each member of the COM
mittee do little hustling for
additional pledges With $500 from
the Chicago Grain Exchange added to
the $1,000 that may be appropriated by
the towns, and the Individual pledges,
the necessary salary and expense can
be secured in short time and an
advisor hired to begin his duties this
summer.
We believe this plan can readily be
carried out without great effort and
submit the plan to the officers of this
association. We also offer the assoca-
ton the use Of these columns to pro-
mote the idea.
Caledonia county was ahead of US
and has just hired a man. Wind Il am
county was also just ahead of US and
their man began work two weeks ago.
Orleans county today stands as the
banner dairy county of the state and
we cannot afford to let other counties
forge ahead of us in agricultural
matters. Let's pull together and get
this movement under way at once
