ARE :. :. ]. OPTIMISTIC

sPetrograd, July 23--The past couple of days demonstrates that the
 Russian army though badly crip- pied is till able to put up stout defense. This is particularly true around Warsaw, where the Germans are numerically stronger than the Russians, but in spite of that fact, the latter are holding them in check and it is believed here that they may eventually turn the tables on the invading forces and drive them back again. Every hour strengthens the Russian positions, and Warsaw and her environs may now be likened Ito q pagilist strippeda down for action, and fighting for very existence. The greater number of the non-com- batants have been sent away in. lana, and the city is now nothing but military Huge cannon, mortors and howitzers, are now in position, each with its separate supply of am mnnition, and all manned by the best that Russia can offer. The Car is credited with having said this morning that Germany could not take Warsaw

Governor Gates has done we'll in
appointing the new state board OF
education. There isn't a professions
al educator on the board and there
shouldn't be. 1t is made up of sue
cessful business and professional
men of high standing and proved
worth. Particularly The Banner APP
proves the selection of Editor Luther
B, Johnson of the Randolph Herald
and News. Mr.. Johnson, since the re-
tirement of Frank Greene from the
ranks Of the profession, is recognized
as the. ablest editorial writer in Yer
mont He was educated in the pub
lie schools of the state and at Nor
wich university. He has served in
the legislature and in other public
places of responsibility. All the
appointments are good and we pick
out that of Mr. Johnson to commend
in particular merely because it is
proper that the newspapers of the
state should rejoice-not at any
honor that has been conferred on Mr..
Johnson-but that hard and COM
petent worker in the vineyard has
been put where he can do still more,
and because we believe he is able to
do it well.

always taken some hard knocks to
break through the wall of British
conceit. This attack on Kitchener is
strikingly like some things that are
matters of history in this country.
Back in the darkest days OF the
American revolution Washingtons
defeated and discouraged army was
in winter quarters at Valley Forge
and bunch of disgruntled army Of
ficers and other critics were at Phil
adelphia and New York trying to get
Washington removed from the COM
mand of the army and the SNOWY,
but incompetent Gen. Gates substitu-
ted. During our Civil war the great
Lincoln was bitterly assailed and
reyiled even up to the day OF his
assassination by men who sought to
tell him how the affairs of state
should be managed. After Grant had
been placed in command of the army
of the Potomac and had started to
hammer his way to Richmond dele
CATION after Delegation of congress-
men, ministers, lawyers, editors and
other critics tried to get Grant re-
moved from command on the ground
that he drank, that he sacrificed too
many lives, that he insisted on doing
exactly as he pleased, that he failed
to report promptly, etc. Lord Kit
chener is in good company in being
compelled to endure criticism from
a yelping crowd of wordy theorists.
1t is, of course, possible that Kitch-
ener, who has spent his life as a
soldier in the field, may not be a
marvellous success as the head of a
department, but it is yet to be shown
that England has his equal.

Forest Crissey, writing in the Sat

the retail business in the country on
ly six per cent is done by the mail
order houses. Really this is only
enough to prove by contrast that peo-
pie can do better by trading at home.
Guess the country merchants will be
able to hang on while longer-that
is if they advertise.
