WHO Is TO BLAMEf
(From the Utica Observer,

NfTOm the Itca ODSerNer)
More serious and severe criticism was
leveled against the public school system
Of this country by the National Education
Association. which recently assembled
at st. Paul than was ever passed from
any other source.
II is possible that the telegraphc re-
ports which were sent out dealt freely with
the criticism and attacks made upon the
school systems but from those reports
the public was made to believe that the
meetings We're largely given up to
knocking" Both curriculum and admin
istration We're savagely attacked, and
there were statements that almostall ofthe
teachers We're in the profession only for
the money they could thus gain. that the
average literature teacher had no soul
or brain, and that most of the teachers
are selfish cyclists. We believe II was

President General, Mt Complimentary
Dinner, Tells about It's Work.
About 90 members and friends of the
Vermont society. Sons OF the American
Revolution gave President General
Thruston a complimentary dinner Thurs
day evening on the roof Of the Van Ness
House. The flag which was presented to
the Vermont society by the Kentucky
society by Mr.. Thruston in the afternoon
at the exercises in WinoosN, as we'll as
the flags of the society, had a prominent
place In the decorations.
Following the dinner Mr.. Thruston gave
an interesting talk on the work which
the national society is doing. He pre-
scented to the Vermont society a gavel
made from a wild cherry tree which
grew at Wakefield, Va, the birthplace
Of George Washington. 1t Is in the shape
of a Ratchet OF colonial type. He spoke
of the work of the national society as
differing from that OF the State society
and told of the need of an archive build
ing at Washington In which to preserve
valuable government records which are
now scattered In many infiammable
buildings, barns, wet and damp base
ments, for which the govern ment pays
a yearly rental of $4,000. The society is
urging appropriate legislation for such
a building and the bill Is now in confer
ence between the House and Senate. He
gave a fine description Of the pilgrima ge
taken over the same route which Wash
ington took from Philadelphia to Cam
bridge, Mass, when he was given COM
many of the army. There were present
at the dinner Messrs. Donneily and Nc
Cuen, representing Nergennes; Secretary

REvIvING MEXICAN INDUSTRIES.

(From the New York Commercially
All business enterprises in Mexico have
suffered more or less since Diaz was over
thrown and exiled, and those Americans
and other foreigners whose operations
have been interrupted have been keep
ing their grievances steadily before the
department of state. From time to time
the New York Commercial has tried to
rcassure those interested in railroads,
smelters and other important industries
in that country and has pointed out the
differences between them and the specu-
lators who got large grants of land from
the former president Of Mexico by more
or less devious methods. The ostensi-
BILE purpose of the revolution headed by
Carranza aid villa is to restore the land
to the poems. but they will welcome for
eigners and foreign capital when the
development Of Industries other than agri-
culture Is intended. What the New York
Commercial said about this has just been
confirmed by announcements made by
the two rebel chicftains who are now urg
Ing foreigners to return to the country
and open UP their various industries and
railroads and have guaranteed them full
protection for life and property.
When a constitutional government is
set up In the city Of Mexico, the land
question will probably take precedence
of everything else. and some Americans
claiming title to vast grants Of land, to-
gethcr with other foreigners and many
rich Mexicans as we'll, may find that
their titles are disputed, or perhaps de-
clared null and void as contrary TO the
public interest When that day comes

tory of the United States since the Next

and Spanish estates covered a large part
Of the State Of California and the Other
territories of which we then acquired
possession and that the government OF
this country refused to recognize the
validity OF most Of these titles to land
Considerable scandal attached to the dis
position of these claims and It is Still
alleged In California that certain poll

LOBBY NOT NECESSARILY BAD

in Address at Merchants AssOcia-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Frank f. Howe
spoke on the Lobby That Infests Our
Capitol Thursday at the Merchants as
ISOLATION luncheon, which was held in
the Hotel Vermont roof garden. MIR.
Howe delivered good speech with much
sterling advice In It. but those who came
hoping to hear exposed startling practices
OF corruption--if any did come for that
purpose-went away disappointed. for
there were no disclosures In fact as
Mr. Howe sketched It, the lobby in Mont
pelier is innocuous If not necessary. The
most startling feature OF the lieutenant
governors speech was his assertion that
a one-house Legislature would be better
than the kind we have.
The speaker said that every one of us
had at one time or another been repre-
scented by paid or unpaid lobbyists. He
asserted that the common notion OF
lobbyists as people who go to Montpelier
and by means OF bribery or Illicit use
of influence get away with things which
they ought not to have Is In the main
fallacious. He stated that he had seen
among the lobbyists of the capitol.

OF Vermont, the presidents of the Uni
versity OF Vermont. Mlddcbury and
Norwich. and all manner Of men.

to exist. when you choose man from
your community or society-or whatever
| It Is that you are choosing from-to go
to Montpelier to further the interests or
