Vermont Approves.
(St. Adams Messenger

Vermont recognizes courage and
recognition of obligation TO duty. That
is why Congressman Frank L. Greene
is being congratulated by the press of
the state for having stood up ON the
floor of the house, with the eyes of the
brotherhood and other labor leaders up
on him, and denounced the hold-up of
congress on the railroad strike issue
Mr.. Greene was in helpless minority
and knew it, but that did not deter
him from expressing his opinion of the
whole transaction. 1t is to his credit
that he fearlessly stood against this
tidal wave of panic legislation, and il
is to the credit of the others in the
Vermont delegation that they expressed
their disapproval by voting against the
increase of wages bill.

citizenship-Its Privileges and Respon
sibilities.
BURLINGTON News. J

Twenty one men were admitted to
United States citizenship in Burling-
ton yesterday. The Daily News OK
tends to them hearty greetings and
congratulations. May they long live to
enjoy the benefits of "the land of the
free" and ever remain worthy of the
rights which have been conferred upon
them.
1t is to be hoped that those others
in our midst who happen to have been
born in other countries, and who have
not yet taken the important step, will
soon qualify themselves to do so.
This incident leads to the question
as to whether those of us who are al
ready citizens, by birth or otherwise
fully realize our privileges and respon'
sibilities as such.
Are we constantly mindful of our du'
ties to the community, the state, and
the great country in which we live
Do we take keen interest and an ac
tive part however modest it may be il
things local and national2 In short
are we good citizens, filled with tn,
spirit of democracy and eager to serve
or are we lazily content to let othel
people, maybe a clique or "gang'
run the city, the state, and the coun
| try.
We hear much of undesirable citi
zens" but they are not all foreigi
| born.
The test of good citizenship lies il
whole hearted unselfish service to tn
community according to our respectiv
abilities and opportunities. 1t is tn
duty of even the humblest of us t
keep ourselves in touch with local. ma
tional, and even international affair
through the newspapers and otherwis
that we may be properly prepared an
ready at all times to share intelligent
in the life of the community.
i Such a citizenship will be an inspirs
ton to new corners and teach thei
what true democracy really is.
4, Yes! You have heard all of this sol
of preaching before. But are yo
really doing your share9 Or are you
shirker9 Don't dodge the question
you want to retain your selfrespect

MESSAGES FROM DEAD

The American Society for Peychicai
Research has published a three volume
report on a remarkable case OF multiple
personality. the facts OF which were
obtained by a psychic who was never
allowed to see the patient.
The subject of the report Is a girl
who was thrown on the floor by her
father, when he was drunk. before she
was four years old. From that time
she showed traces Of dual personality.
Her mother died when she was seven
teen. and the shock caused her to ex-
hibit the characteristics of five different
persons. Soon after this the girl was
adopted by the Rev. DR.. Walter +.
Prince. an Episcopal clergyman. She
was brought east from California for
the purpose Of experimenting with the
psychic.
Little Incidents In the girls life. pur-
porting to come from her dead mother.
were the first facts obtained In the
psychic experiments. Subsequently a
personality claiming to be the one that
inspired in the girl a gift Of automatic
writing manifested itself.
The three chief personalities were
called Margaret. Sleeping Margaret and
Sick Doris. According to the report
they were unconscious products OF her
own mind. The personality OF Mar
garet was induced to come and confess
through the medium. and told a large
number OF incidents in the girls normal
life.
Two other personalities. said to have
Influenced the ASSOCIATED mental states
OF the girl. were made to confess. One
of these detailed many incidents that
were happening In her home in Cali
forn!a at the time of the scanccs In the
East.
IF such phenomena exist on a large
scale" says the report. at will he ex-
ceedingly important for the medica
world to recognize such results as are
presented In this report. II will have
much to do with the practical treatment
and therapeutics of persons who arc
diagnosed as insane and incurable but
who in fact are quite capable OF being
healed"

business. The statement. which has
been printed in pamphlet form and diA
tributed throughout the country. says
in part:
Are the retailers going to turn down
the first Administration that has seen
their problems and done so much for
them. not on account OF any partisan
interest on behalf of the retailers, but
out OF an appreciation Of the fact that
goods must be sold as we'll as made. that
men must be stationed conveniently to
the consuming public In all quarters OF
the country, and that they perform an
important and useful function and
should have a square deal?'

at Boston quotes you as saying that

were the other members of Cabinet who
would resign with Garrison and pro-
tested? Are the facts correct as you re-
call Them"
Mr.. Breckenridge replied as follows:
ITO the Public Ledger, Philadelphia,
Pa: Any one who qutoed me to Senator
Lodge as represented in your telegram
as quoted is a scoundrel. No member
of President Wilson's Cabinet ever
threatened him on any subject. The
malice that would seek for partisan ad-

WHITMAN SURE OF

be greater than 1t was two years ago.
The Governor was not in such an
optimistic mood when he started out two
weeks ago last evening. though he had
no doubt he would be reelected. In the
course Of his trip he went through prac-
tically every county in the State outside
New York city and Chatauqua. which he
will visit on Thursday. lie travelled
about $500 miles by special train and
automobile, speaking on an average nine
times a Cay to an average crowd of
200 voters.
ut was really remarkable" said the
Governor yesterday afternoon. MY en-
tire trip exceeded my expectations and
surpassed my campaign Of two years
ago.
II found everywhere that the crowds
were double those Of two years ago the
enthusiasm was greater and the audi
ences far more responsive. Everybody
was eager to listen to what I had to say
and showed by their attitude and their
enthusiasm that they believed that I had
acted wisely for the benefit OF all.
The Indications are. as I Judge them
now. that I shall be reelected by a big
ger plurality than two wears ago"
Managers OF Gov. whitman's cam
paign said the Governor will carry the
State by $50. 900 at least. They pointed
to the fact that the crowds in the
southern tier Of counties were far more
enthusiastic than had been expected and
that IN the northern counties. which are
stanchly Republican. the vote promises
to he greater than In 1905.
The conviction OF the Republican
leaders Is hat Samuel Seabury. the

Thousands of dollars In value OF mer-
now lying rotting or being eaten by
rats In a tumbledown s%torehousc In the
Brooklyn navy yard. Another huge
amount Of brand new material is to be
sold MS junk at auction in the navy
yard next Thursday.
A seemingly inexplicable feature Of
the condemnation and sale OF the new
material. still In perfectly good condi-
ton. Is the fact that great quantities Of
clothing and general merchandise. an
nounced for sale last May. are still lying
condemned and rotting away. while new
material. evidently purchased later. Is
to be sold ahead OF IL.
An explanation partly may be found
in the fact that the sale of last May was
cancelled at the last momen by
J~osephus Daniels. Secretary OF the
Navy, because Of the exposures of the
great waste in the advertised sale made
by THE SuN. The official reason then
given by the Navy Department was that
all material would be kept for use be-
cause OF the then delicate condition OF
our foreign relations. Yet It Is still
condemned and rotting In the navy
yard storehouse. while other newer ma
terial Is to be sold as second hand.
Due to Lack Of system.
This IL merely another phase OF the
waste n extravaganza In the Navy
Department since II has come under the
management Of Josephus Daniels. All
his waste Is due indirectly to the lack
NJ system and expert knowledge in one
branch of the navy. The crying need
for IN expert to appraise and dispose OF
condemned stores or to prevent the con-
demnation of material was recognized
by a previous Administ ration. which
created an office that saved the navy
millions of dollars a year-that OF ex-
pert on condemned stores and scrap
metals. Ono of the first official acts Of
Josephus Daniels as head OF the navy
was TO discharge a competent man for
a purely political appointee.
william Jacobus was dismissed by
Daniels when the annua reports OF the
Paymaster-General and his testimony
before Congress proved that his salvage
system had saved millions OF dollars.
