The appointment of Professor :. f.
Emerson to be chairman of the Vermont
public library commission is a singularly
well-deserved recognition of ability on
the part Of Governor Fletcher. Profess
sor Emerson holds unique position
among Vermont teachers, In capacity
for work, in originality and in charm, he
is so richly endowed that if he had cared
to seek fame, he would undoubtedly
stand to-day with James and Royce. In
stead of seeking that kind of greatness
however, he has devoted himself for
years to the teaching of Vermont boys

appropriate acts could have been invent
ed than those of this little militant group
of English women
Many opponents of suffrage will argue
from the militancy in England that
women as Il general class are proved
incompetent to take part in government
The argument is false as 1t Is plausible
The very fact that even the contagion
a bad English example has not caused
them 10 outrage decency and order
in this manner goes far TO show
that American women are capable OF
helping the men out in politics. This
difference should be stressed. Ct is not

to the Christlanzng of the country and.
secondly, to the political side. As re-
suit the friars who went there succeeded
in their purpose. The Roman Catholic
Church relgned supreme but Ike every
church which is alone, the institution
grew corrupt and finally the people pro-
tested, not against the church but against

China Is equally as strong and it is harder
for one of that country to enter the Phil

he regarded as poor policy, as the mix
ture OF the Chinese and Filipino brings
forth the brightest race of people to be
found In the East.
The work Of the medical men and scien-
lists can not be too highly praised They
have freed the islands from the scourgo
of the bubonic plague, cholera and small
pox and made the Philippines into tho
healthiest of tropical lands. The civil
service Is also remarkably efficient and
much superior TO that of the United
States. The educational system is also
admirable and the mon who have been
placed in charge of the Islands since tho
American invasion are Of the best and

The plan of not to Amcricanizc but t,

to force American ideas on the nhaM

that they will be capable of obtaining
solution Of their own problems. At tn

erty but only about two per cent ar

Bishop Brent said that he was by NJ
means IN favor of disturbing the Roman
Catholic church The church had some
times been at fault but this was not be
cause of the institution itself but be

Tuesday I.slt a determined attempt was
made by persons who left suffrage flyers
behind, to burn down one Of tho -arrst of
old buildings and richest of treasure

seat associated with Sir Philip Sidney, is
of irreplaceable historic value and con-

humanity could not afford to lose. And

whims of few hot-headed women and
