THE SUMMER CAPITAL.

Cornish-Windsor need not fear greatly
over rumors that President Wilson and
family will spend the summer at Williams
town Mass, when Cornish Windsor have
so many advantages. 1t is reported that
one reason why Wilson might select WILL
Jamestown is the accessibility of the town;
but that, to our mind, is one of the dlsad-
vantages of the place for a vacation and
for the secluslon which the President and
members OF his family seek after being so
constantly In the public eye during most
months OF the year. The ideal place Is a
summer homo where the hordes of people
cannot go with ease and where the execu-
tive and his family can be comparatively
free from the prying eyes of the curious
and from the importuning of prospective
officeholders Cornish Windsor, with the

THE MEXICAN CRISIS AND IT'S
PARALLEL.

shortly before the beginning Of the
spanisl- American War Senator Proctor
made speech in the United States
Senate depicting conditions IN Cuba as
nc had found them, and on April !, 1898,
president Mckinley sent a message to
Congress asking that BODY TO authorize
and empower the President to take
measures to secure full and final
Termination Of host,Ites between tia
government # Spain and the people OF
Cuba and to secUre in the island the
establishment OF stable government
capable of maintaining order and OBJ
serving its international obligations in
surfing peace and tranquility and the
security of Its citizens as well as our
own, and 10 use the military and naval
forces OF the United States as may be
necessary for these prposes.'
That message was automatically
worded but its interpretation was soon
found to be war.
few days ago Admiral Mayo, another
Vermonter, demanded from the Next
cans reparation for the insult 20 this
nation growing out OF the arrest AT Tam
pIco Of a force of marines, part Of
whom were taken from a boat dying the
Stars and Stripes. one Of the condi-
tons stipulated by Admiral Mayo was
that the Mexicans should fire salute
VI taenty-one guns to the American
iag.
on Saturday President Wilson sent an
lrmatum to the reluctant Huerta stat
ng that unless the demand stated was
compiled with by six o'clock Sunday
evening, the United states would take
possession of the ports OF Tampico and
Vera Cruz and adopt other measured
deemed advisable,
At last accounts Huerta had refused to
comply with the demands of the United
states. Insisting that the salute by the
NJ .xicans and the response by our gov
rrnrnent be gun for gun, so that there
,hould bo no question about fuil re-

A NOTABLE HEALTH BULLETIN.

The range of the stimulus which the
work Of the educational commission and
of the investigators who served under
them has done for Vcrmont's common
schools is illustrated by the fact that
the latest bulletin Of the State board
Of health is devoted to schoolhouse sani-
tation. This publication begins with the
article by Professor M b. Hillegas, the
commissions investigator, on the condi-
ton Of Vermont schoolhouses and
methods Of Improvement This is fol-
lowed by discussion OF Professor Hille-
gass article which is quite as enlighten-
Ing as the article 1t Is based upon. An
article on "the making Of schoolhouse'
is Of the very greatest interest and con-
tains much original and suggestive in
formation, including thirty cuts OF
sketches and plans submitted by Yer
mont architects.

Accordingly President Wilson is eX-
pected 10 send to Congress to-day the
message which he has been preparing
ready for the emergency, In the face
of this probability, one can not help
wondering whether the parallel between
Cuba and Mexico will be continued to
the bitter end,
While all Americans will naturally
hope for peace, 1t must be admitted that
the conditions are favorable to serious
trouble Huertn is believed to be anX-
ious to force the issue In order TO cause
MeXirans to forget their differences and
rally about his standards. particularly In
view Of his recent reverses at the hands
Of villa and other rebel leaders,
Should Huerta yield promptly this
morning. trouble might still be averted'
