the vacancies. Mr.. Wales has been
chief examiner of the commission the
past twenty years and, as it is Gus
tomary to have one of the three com
missioners member of he minority
party, and as Mr.. Wales is a Repub-
lican, and the third member of the
commission, Mr.. Washburn, is n Dem
oerat, the papers hold that the APP
pointment of Mr.. Wales as the Repub-
liean member might commend itself to
the President on the strength of his
familiarity with the work Mr. Wales
was born in Middlebury, graduated
from Middlebury college and later
taught school in Bristol He came to
Washington about % years ago and
has been a very efficient official Of the
civil service commission. In addition
to being a proficient worker, Mr..

ner speaker and few who had occasion
to hear him speak at the sugar party
| of the Vermont association of the Dis
trict of Columbia a year ago last
April have forgotten his rich fund OF

Vermont delegation who heard him OF
that occasion dubbed him the finest

THURSDAY, NAY %, 1913.
MEMORIAL DAY.

The passage of the years does not
reduce the value of the work done by
the Union soldiers during the Civil war
On the contrary, every year of growth
on the part of this united land increases
the value of their work
We were a provincial, isolated and pc
culiar people in 1850. There were only
about 23,OOO,OOO of us then, and what
we did not know about the rest of the
world would make up a large part of the
history of the rest of the world. Our
cities were smaller then, our factories
were fewer, the pastoral life, with its
freedom from temptation, was largely
prevalent.
Now there are some 100000 of US,
and there is nothing done anywhere in
the world that does not come well with
in the range of our knowledge, and more
and more within the range of our nation
al interests. The general social environ
ment is not so rigid as in 1850, but there
has been a gain in the strength of the
individual member of society
The value of the work done by those
who fought for the Union is now measur-
ed by the fact that they held this great
land together as a political unit and
| therefore as one common field for this
common growth
The Union soldiers of our Civil war set
tied this political part of the question
when they knocked everything out of the
way that aimed to divide our country.
BY so doing they kept intact what had
| come to be known as the American land
for the uses of the American people The
value of their work was evident enough
at the time, measured by the uses then
made of this land; but when we measure
their work by the uses now made of this
land the value of the work has easily
doubled
Few Americans stop to think what this
land as it is stands for in the knowledge
and imagination of the world. Whether
studied at first hand or read about If
books this land is the expected power anc
authority IN the future history of man
kind. A self-governing people, living I'm
der no regulations except those that they
make for themselves, has been the com
mon dream of the race and we are daily
living that life with increasing knowledge
with increasing authority, and with in
creasng usefulness. The base stone 0
this wonderful achievement is the politica
unity established by our Civil war: anc
the men who laid that base stone-laic
1t SO well that no living man believes tina
1T can be budged-are the soldiers who's
graves viii be marked with flowers tc
morrow, or who will trudge bravel
through our streets in memory of thes
comrades who have gone on before.

Though the facts remain the same, yet
the governor s emphasis in his message
to the legislature yesterday, ought to
have some public effect. The truth IS
that our legislature is not educated up
to the tax question and never has been.
Members prefer lodging the issue
rather than confessing their own in
competence But the state con-
tinues to suffer 1t is high time to
stop lodging and to do something pos
tive to reform our execrable system
of taxation.
Doesn't the foregoing paragraph
from a Fitehburg (Mass.) paper have
familiar sound to Vermontersa And
doesn t it tend to prove that the tax
problems with which our Legislature
was wrestling a few months ago are
the lot of every commonwealth

Governor Fletcher believes in the
public service commission s new de-
parture in giving informal hearings
throughout the state In a recent in
terview on the subject he said that
public service commissions in some
states had been regarded as mere
buffers between the public service cor
poration land the people, whose ac-
tivity was largely in the direction of
deeply bordering upon legal aspects OF
problems and long delays that all the
parties might be brought to agree ami
cably, instead of facing the situation
which confronted them, courageously
doing the right thing and doing ii
when it presented itself rather than
supinely delaying to the interests OF
the corporations. The governor ex
pressed the hope that the public ser
vice commission of Vermont as al
present constituted would not be {
proper subject for criticisms of thi.
character.

VIII The Reformer please tell us in the
question department how to hull corn?
The white, yellow, or sweet corn NAV
be used. Soak the corn over night in
warm water, and in the morning put it
in an iron kettle with water enough to
cover it. To each quart of corn put in
a rounding tablespoonful of soda or sal
eratus, and boil until the hulls come off
readily; then wash in several changes of
clear water, and after it is thoroughly
washed put it on to boil again in clear
water. Boil until tender, then salt it
and let it boil a little longer. Turn into
sieve and drain thoroughly.

TO INCREASE WIDOWS PENSIONS
Important Bill introduced by Representative PumeyTrck
Played on the Democrats

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 90
Representative Frank Plumley of the
second Vermont district introduced in
the House of Representatives on Tues
day of this week bill to increase the
pensions of widows of the Civil war
veterans, now entitled to $l2 a month,
to SO month. Mr. Plumley s idea
in this bill is a sufficient increase to
meet the increased cost of living since
the passage of the bill granting pen
sion of So month to all widows of
soldiers who served at least ninety days
in the war and who were honorably
discharged provided their marriage
occurred previous to 1890. He figures
that % per cent increase viii oper-
ate to make it possible for a widow to-
day to purchase for SIS what she
could with Sl2 when that amount was
granted by the passage of the act of
April 10, 1908. Mr.. Plumleys bill does
not contemplate any change in the
present law with respect to the con.
! ditions under which a widow may be
entitled to a pension but simply chang
es the amount of pension to those wld-
ows now on the rolls at $l2 a month

Senator Dillingham; has recently in
troduced in the Senate n bill to Sc
cure payment of certain claims of in
dividual army officers for longevity
pay. The bill in question is for the
relief of three Vermont claimants, Col
Herbert 5. Foster, I. 5. A., retired, Of
North Calias, and the heirs Of Brig
Gen. Benjamin Alvord and Major-Gen.
Ethan Allen Hitchcock While both
of the last mentioned were born in
Vermont and appointed 10 West Point
from that state, their heirs now live
in the District of Columbia These
claims were incorporated in the omni-
bus claims bill which failed in confer
ence at the last session of Congress
and that is the reason for the separate
bill which has now been introduced.
All three of these officers have had
enviable war records. Major Gen.
Hitchcock was veteran Of both the
Mexican and Civil wars.

The majority leaders of the Senate
are now at work endeavoring to line
up the Democratic party in support of
a binding caucus on the Underwood
tariff bill with the avowed purpose of
passing the bill by the first of July in
such shape as President Wilson wishes
it. While a binding caucus is a well
established institution frequently used
by the political parties in the House,
1T IS something new on the Senate
side. The purpose of a binding eau
Gus is to thresh out the differences of
opinion in regard to pending legisla-
ton among the members of a party so
that when the legislation is reached in
open session of the House or Senate
the party will support solidly the de
cisions reached by the majority in the
caucus. Some of the most bitter strug-
giles have been fought out, with mem
bers of the press excluded, in these
caueuses for an opportunity is afforded
there for members of a party to talk
straight political doctrine among them
selves and prepare themselves to meet
the arguments of the opposition.

Democratic representatives and sena-
tors who have been bounded by their
constituents for federal jobs as a re-
ward for campaign services, are
claiming that they had dirty trick
played on them by Representative
Britten of Illinois, a Republican. and
they are now looking for the latter
to express their opinion of him. 1t
seems that last Friday Representative
Britten arose from his seat IN the
House and casually asked for unani
nous consent to have his remarks ex-
tended in the Congressional Record
which, without objection, under the
rules of the House is allowed. Of
course if any Democrat present had
had any idea what Mr. Britten was
going 10 put into the Record there
would have been all sorts of objcc-
ton. But none Of them knew. so the
unanimous consent was granted with
out any objection. In Fridays copy
Of the Congressional Record they were
staggered TO find full, complete and
concise list of every government job
N the various departments of the gov
eminent in Washington for which no
/ civil service examination is required.
Hence the howl from the majority par.
ty who had hoped to quietly parcel
out their patronage so that by the time
the rank and file Of the job hunters
had discovered what places were avail
able they could be met with the state
ment that they were Just too late ana
that there were at present no vacan
cies. incidentally, if anyone who hal
access to the daily Congressional
Record and has a curiosity to know
what Jobs are not under the civil ser
vice, he can refer to the Record OF
Friday, May %, for information

What is invisible Ink?

What is invisible INK
1t is made of several substances, but
the most curious known is that made
from cobalt. To prepare this ink take
zaffer and dissolve it in nitromuriatic
acid till the acid extracts from it the
metallic part of the cobalt, which gives
the zaffer a blue color; then dilute the
solution with plain water. If you
write with this liquid on paper the
characters will be invisible, but when
exposed to a sufficient degree of heat
they will become green. When the pa
per has cooled they viii disappear.
