Colombia Unjustly Treated

1t has been discovered that the records
of the state department i'll Washington
bear out the assertions of Roosevelt that
the United States did not intrigue against
Columbia The more the Wilson admin.
istration tries to make out tn 1t the ma
tional honor has been smirched in connec-
tion with Panama, the palmer it becomes
that Mr.. Bryan does not know what he
is talking about, and this statement. is
true, no matter what administration
representative is doing the talking Bur
HngtOn Free Press.
The records of the state department
have very little bearing one way or an
other in the matter. The contention of
those who hold that Colombia was un.
justly treated has been that the Roose-
welt administration used the United States
navy as "bg stick" to co cree Colon
bia and to make possible the success Of
have succeeded without outside help.
Why should state department records
have Information on the subject?
The feeling that our country was put
in false position in the matter by the
Roosevelt administration is not confined
to one party. There are plenty of Re.
publicans who believe the methods EN-.
ployed by that administration were
wrong. President Wilson will have the
sympathy of many ontside his party in
doing what he can to right what many
in all parties believe to have been wrong.
The Burlington News takes exception
to our remarks on its editorial concern
ing President Emeritus Eliot of Harvard.
The News is correct in it's suggesting
that we had no intention of misrepre-
senting it. We fail to see how we have
done so in any essential matter, nnless
we failed to see that the original edito-
rial of the News was a bit of finely
wrought irony. In that case we have
been at faulut; but the use of irony is
dangerous.
There is one point to which further
reference may be made. The original ed
itorial in the News spoke either flip
PANTY or ironically of "highbrows."
We wish that the use of this phrase
might be discouraged by the local press.
Its use is best fitted to those who think
that there is some sign of Divine Grace
in being "low-brow." We are sure
this is an impression that is not held by
any of onr editorial fraternity.

A Letter to the Level Headed
Farmers and Business Men
of Lamoille County.

Mr.. Farmer: Doyouknow that
the most enterprisfflg farmers in
the country now are paying their
bills by check?
When you give man check
to settle for any particular pur-
chase or to settle any debt, he
has to endorse that check before
he can get the money out of the
bank, The check is charged to
your account at the bank and
sent to you, so that you always
have in your possession vouch-
err or receipt showing the pay
ment.
If other bright and progressive
farmers pay their bills by check,
why shouldn't you? The bank
furnishes you, free, the blank
checks, deposit slips, ETC., and
extends to you every courtesy
consistent with safe banking.
The thrifty farmer today pays
cash for what he buys. He does
not run into debt at the stores,
the shops or the mills. If for
little while he is short of money,
he should go to his bank and
borrow, then he knows that
what he owes he owes exclusively
to his bank.
One cannot begin too quickly
to get out of the old ruts. What
is said above applies not only to
tbefarmer, but to the blacksmith,
the wheelwright, the harness
maker, the shoemaker and all
othes lines of business as well.
The old LamoilIe County Ma
tional Bank at Hyde Park COM
menced its sixtieth year of bust
ness May q, 1914. tits staunch,
reliable, accommodating and for
more than twenty-five years has
never said "no" to any customer

offering lawful paper. This bank
will always take care of your re-
quirements.
You can open two accounts
with this bank, one which draws
and another-a small &C.
count-which draws no interest

from one OF these accounts to the |
other at any time, as may suit |
the convenience and necessity of |
your business.

TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER
Declared In These Days to Be the
Only Safe Topic of Con-
versation.

Perhaps the chief reason why the
weather Is a suitable topic for conVen
tional conversation Is it's usefulness.
Nothing can be done with the weather
except talk about it, so the talk IS
not liable to interruption by a call to
action. Hard times are a topic or
general interest, common alike to mil
lionaire and workingman. But II you
say to a perfect stranger the times
are hard he may take advantage OF
that admission by asking for a sub
scription for some charity or by de-
handing that you vote the socialist
ticket.
The weather Is, In fact. almost the
only safe topic left for pure converse
ton in this energetic and practical
age, says the New York Independent.
However much you may deplore the
badness of the weather, nobody Is
likely to hold you responsible for 1t
or call upon you to remedy it unless
you u across a crank who Is raising
a fund to lombard the heavens for
the production Of rain or the dissipa-
ton of hailstorms.

tional and established opening. II q

SYNOPSIS.

Bud Hooker and Phil De Lancey are
forced, owing to a revolution in Mexico.
to give up their mining claim and return
to the United States. In the border town
of Gadsden Bud meets Henry Kruger, a
wealthy miner. who mak him a propo-
sition to return to Mexico to acquire title
to a very rich mine which Kruger had
blown up when he found he had been
cheated out Of the title by one Aragon.
The Mexican subsequently spent a large
sum in an unsuccessful attempt to relo-
cate the vein and then allowed the land
to revert for taxes. Hooker and De Lam
cey arrives at Fortuna near where the
mine, known as the Eagle Tail. Is 10
Gated. They engage the services Of Cruz
Mendez, who has been friendly to Kruger,
to acquire the title for them, and get q
permit to do preliminary work. Aragon
protests and accuses them Of jumping ms
claim. Bud discovers that matrimonial
entanglements prevent Mendez from per
fecting a valid title. Phil, who has been
paying attention to Aragon's daughter,
Gracia, decides to turn Mexican and get
the title N his own name. Bud objects
to Pills attentions to Gracia. Aragon
fei1 In his attempt to drive them OH the
claim. Rebels are reported in the vicin-
ity. Stories Of rapine and bloodshed are
brought in. BUD and Phil begin work In
earnest on their claim.

It Is a great sensation-striking 1t
| rich-one Of the greatest in the world.
Some men punch a burro over the
| desert all their lives in the hope OF
achieving 1t once; Bud and Phil had
taken a chance, and the prize now lay
within their grasp. Only a little while
nova month, maybe, If the officials
were slow-and the title would be
theirs.
The Mexican miners, blinded by
their ignorance, went their way, we'll
! contented to get their money. Nobody
knew. There was nothing to do but
to wait. But to wait, as some people
know, is the hardest work In the
world.
For the first few days they fingered
about the mine. gloating over 1t in
secret, laughing back and forth, sing
ing gay songe-then, as the ecstasy
passed and the WEAKNESS of waiting
set in, they went two ways. Some
fascination. unexplained to Bud, drew
De Lancey to the town. He left in the
morning and came back at night, but
Hooker stayed at the mine.
Day and night, weekdays and Sun
days, he watched 1t jealousy, lest
someone should slip in and surprise
their secret-and for company he had
his pet horse, Copper Bottom, and the
Yaqui Indian, Amigo.
Ignacio was the Indians real name,
for the Yaquis are all good Catholics
and named uniformly after the saints;
but Bud had started to call him Amigo,
or friend, and Ignacio had conferred
the anne name on him.
Poor Ignacio! His four-dollar-a-day
job had gone glimmering in half a
day, but when the Mexican laborers
departed he fingered around the camp.
doing odd jobs, until he won a place
for himself.
At night he slept up in the rocks,
where no treachery could take him
unaware, but at the first peep Of dawn
it was always Amigo who arose and
lit the fire.
Then, If no one got up, he cooked a
breakfast after his own ideas, boiling
the coffee until it was as strong as
lye, broiling meat on sticks. and went
to turn out the horses.
With the memory Of many envious
g~lances cast at Copper Bottom. Hooker
had built a stout corral, where he kept
the horses up at night, allowing them
to Craze close-hobbled In the daytime.
