NEGRO SPIRITUALS.
Lecture by DIR. j. A. Lomax in Summer
school Series.

DIR. John a. Lomax gave a public
lecture on Negro Sprituals" at the
summer school Tuesday afternoon. It
was a study of the religious hymns of
the negro. The negro in the mass, he
said, was a simple, emotional, initiative
human being with many of the attributes
of the child. His religion and ethics are
widely separated Negro preachers, many
OF them uneducated. are more Interested
In ricturing the glories Of heaven and
the horrors of he'll than preaching good
citizenship and virtue The negro has
but lately emerged from conditions of
total barharsm. He is not immoral; he
is immoral. The negro sermons are mere
appeals to the motions, fear is aroused,
but the conscience is not touched
In imagery and music many of the
negro hyr1ns are superior to our own
gospel hymns The themes are usually
Satan death, the grave. resurrection, and
the forms of Baptism. Satan and death
are almost visual images, A vein of
humor runs through many of the hymns
1t is not an offense against propriety II
the entire congregation bursts out in
laughter during the song.

PROUTY AND THE SENATE.

Q'rom the Bellows Falls Times)
Prouty stock jumped several points
last week His candidacy for the Uni
ted States Senate was endorsed by the
chairman of the Vermont State progress
sivc committee and by the Advance the
official organ of the party Dr.. II. Nelson
Jackson of burlington, chairman of his
party'S executive committee, said:
He, individually, was a progressive be-
cause that party demanded the Abraham
Lincoln republicansm, and that he per-
sonally stood for all candidates that were
trying to bring the country back to those
principles. He stated emphatically that
from his correspondence and interviews
with the Hon. Charles A Prouty he was
the man Vermont should send to Wash
ington as its senator.
The Rev Frazer Metzger former can
didate for governor on the progressive
ticket said: From the first mention of
Mr. Prouty's name for the senatorship
have considered him an upholder OF
the principles of the Progressive party
' sincerely hope that he may have the
support OF all the Progresslves Of the
State of Vermont"
The Advance says editorialy:
dacy of Charles A. Prouty for the United
States Senate, the Advance has look
ed upon it with an open and favoring
mind.
1t recognizes Mr. Prouty as a construc-
tive statesman, an expert on the subject
of governmental control of transportation
one of the greatest problems TO come
before the Senate and a man of ability
In his ideas and acts,
His letter recently published in these
columns clears away the misunderstand-
ing as to his attitude toward the inter
ests in control of the Republican party
He stands for the principles of the pro-
gressive platform and voted for them
In attacking the Penrose- Barnes Dinng-
ham type he is making the fight for the
Progressive party.
Having become convinced of this, The
Advance takes its place with that large
element of the progressives who wish a
chance to vote for MIR. Prouty as its
candidate as we'll as tho candidate of tho
large body of independent voters under
the non-partisan ticket
This means that Prouty's name will ap-
pear on the non-partisan ticket and also
on the Progressive ticket, and that Gov
ernor Fletcher's filtration with the pro-
gressives has failed to secure endorse
ment of his candidacy. II the Governor
enters the race 1t will be without official
endorsement.
But Prouty has said that he is still a
republican and as such he will have good
support from the progressive wing of the
Republican. AS an Independent he WI
also receive good many democratic
votes Prouty's chances of success In
November are growing brighter

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY.
STATE INCOME FROM AUTOS.
(From che Brattleboro Phoenix

From the Brattleboro Phoenix.)
During the four months, March to July,
both inclusive, automobiles paid into the
state treasury SllS193, and for the full
year this amount will be increased, It is
confidently expected, to s1jO00. Estimat-
ing the average cost of the 1,574 new cars
registered in the four months at 500
each. Vermont people have expended
about $4,000 for new machines thus far
this year. This indicates that prosperity
Is at high tide in this State. The in
crease in the amount received from auto
mobile foes during the past six years has
been notable, jumping from s26,G57 In
1909 when Loss automobiles were report
ed, to the large total for this year,
when 6,2G0 machines were registered. OF
the amount paid into the State treasury
thus far this year Washington county
leads with s14,95S. and Rutland county is
second with Sl3,0S3 Other counties pay
ing in excess of $4,000 are: Windsor,
Sl340l Chittenden. sll ,S2l; Caledonia, SILL
$40; Windham, Sl0,42S Rutland county is
first in the number of new machines
this year, 1893 Washington second, with
100 and Chittenden third with 1871, State
Highway Commissioner Gates is under

time. Besides this. Mr.. Guthrie was in
strumental in bringing about the union
of the First Church with the Congrega-
tlonal Church of Winooskl, which has
had an invlgorating effect on the lives of
both churches, and has wrought many
other lasting changes in the course of his
pastorate.
Il. Barton Whitney in behalf of the
Wlnooski church, spoke warmly OF the
admiration which the members of his
church felt for Mr.. Guthrie and OF their
regret at losing him.
w. j. Van Patten rounded out the testi-
monials with a glowing appreciation of
the man and his work.
Mr. Guthrie replied with a heart felt
talk in which he spoke of the inspiration
and Joy he had found in his pastorate, in
the work, in the place and in the people.
Particularly, he dwelt upon the splendid
support he had received from the men.

NOTICES SERVED.
Campers at Queen City Park Must Not
POIIute Lake ChampIain.

In response to notices from the State
board of health served by the health off,
Ger of South Burlington upon the prop
erty holders of Queen City Park who dis
charge sewage into Lake Champlain and
upon the Queen City Park association.
steps are now being taken to stop all pol
luton of the water at that point.
This action was an effort to make tho
beach clean and safe for bathing The
cottagers have been accustomed to dis
charge sewage Into Lake Champlain by
means of pipes from their cottages. Some
OF the pipes ran a good distance into the
lake but the condition of the wind and
currents was such that the tendency was
for the sewage to be washed back toward
the shore.
Action has already been taken for the
complete elimination of the nuisance by
the disposal of garbage in septic tanks
by system recommended by the enEi-
neer of the board of health, Prof. j. w.
Votey. BY the first OF August 1t is be-
lieved that the system will be In working
order and the beach transformed into the
most attractive bathing place anywhere
In this part OF the lake.
The Queen City Park shore is one Of
the most accessible bathing places around
burlington and has an unsurpassed
beach. The improvement should make 1t
very popular in the future,
The text OF the notice follows:
Dear Sir:-As a result of the inspection
Of the sewage disposal at Queen City
Park in the town Of South Burlington, 1t
Is decided that the discharge of raw sew
age into the waters of Lake Champlain
at the said Queen City Park Is a nuisance

NO EXTRA SESSION NEEDED.

In urging the Governor to call the Leg
islature in extra session the republican
State committee says I'VE do pledge
ourselves to use our best endeavors to
make said special session as short and
inexpensive as possible" We fear "best
endeavors wouldn't avail much. Men as
carefully selected for wisdom and virtue
as members of a Legislature are averse
to being tied by political committees. If
once assembled they would open wide
the gates and the State wouldn't get 30
cents worth of value out of the dollars
expended. Last March in a referendum
the voters of Vermont by large major
lily of those voting said they favored the
abstract principle Of direct primary law
They had no specific law to express an
opinion about and most of them had no
idea they We're voting for a special ses-
sion Their expression in favor of the
principle of the primary was for the
guidance of the next Legislature when il
meets in regular session.

THE DANGER UP NORTH.

VI rum the IOdTTc llHleS.)
Good news comes from northern Yer
NOR regarding Vermont's hay crop For
illustration, here Is the opinion of the
Newport Express and Standard:
Talk about there being a small crop
Of hay, one farmer told us his grass was
so thick and heavy he could hardly
force his moving machine through it.
Why, grass is so heavy in Orleans county
you can't drive a team among the hay
cocks without danger of tipping over"
Indeed, all farmers throughout Vermont
seem to be coming out better with their
hay crops than they expected to during
the early summer. The copious rains
of early July did the business for the
grass, as they did for many kinds OF
farm produce Taken altogether, it
ought to be a good year for the agricul-
turalists.

CHILD, CHILD.

(By Grace Fallow Norton in the Feb
ruary Scribner.
Child, child,
The city-alleys reek;
BY nighttime and by daytime
The passing engines shrek,
And murky is the Maytime
Where carriers hoot and cry,
Yet here thou has thy playtime
And hast thy lullaby.
Child. child,
Men say and poets sing.
Thy hope of joy. o Woman,
Lies in this single thing.
OF life or love, let no man
Tell thee aught else were best:
Thy joy of joys, o Woman,
Thy child upon thy breast"
Child. child,
Alas. and IL it be?
Why sing the joy Of mothers
And sing no song of thee?
Who clamors now for others,
Rose-happed through they shoult
He has not seen thy brothers
Nor heard thy lullaby.
Child, child,
Some say thou'rt doomed to fail.
They cry we do not need thee,
So puny, piteous. pale.
And staying not to feed thee,
They wait their darling's kiss.
o lest they hear or heed thee
Let them not boast their bliss.
