that he always did what he could to
avoid friction In advance; but that
when any alteration arose he was
then ready to make further conces-
sions and yield. He would not let his
preferences stand in the way Of peace.
This was so marked that whenever
trouble did arise it was quite natural
for Henry to receive the blame. But
later 1t became possible for Charles,
in his quiet way. to make trouble in
the certainty that Henry would be
blamed.
It is quite proper for us to recognize
the fact that the children are not
alike and to take the differences into
consideration in our judgments and in
our other treatment Of them. But
we must not let our classification of
children stand in the way Of substan-
tial Justice. 1t Is quite probable that
Henry was the trouble maker nine
times out of ten, and an understanding
,f Charles disposition was very help
full to the parents. But each case, as
II arises, should be considered on its
merits and not on the earlier general
lzation that Henry is usually at fault.
The actions Of parents, like all
movements in the world, are along the
line Of least resistance. And the gen.
civilizations we make about our chill
iren furnish channels that are often
helpful, but occasionally dangerous.

cabin which they found vacant. The
ground in Larue county.
The huge crowd at the farm took
great interest in that which probably
caused Thomas Lincoln to select this
spot for his home-the Lincoln spring.
This never failing stream of water
comes from the ground today as 1t did
in Lincoln's time.
The Lincolns lived on the farm where
Abe was born for several years. Their
eldest daughter, Sallie. was born there.
When Abe was about four years old
the family moved to n home on Knob
creek. There occurred the incident
which Lincoln remembered vividly all
his life, where he was saved from
drowning in creek by Austin Cola
her. From this farm the Lincoln fam
lily moved to Indiana.
The farm fell into the possession Of
Micajah Middleton who sold to Rich
ard A. Creal, the Lincoln farm as it
stands today. Creal built a new log
home and for many years used the
cabin In which Abraham Lincoln was
born as corn crib. At the death of
Creal the farm passed into the hands
of his heirs. Many years after the
death of Lincoln the farm began to
grow in fame as "Lincoln's birthplace"
Many people came to see 1t and among
them was Alfred w. Denett, q wealthy
restaurant owner of New York city.
Denett bought the farm, paying the

property was made February IL, 1895,
just Sc years after the birth of Lin
coin.
Denett had plans for the purchase
of the farm by congress and conver-
sion into n national park and spent
considerable money in an attempt to
get successful hearing of his propo-
sition at Washington, but failed. He
was the first to attempt any real i'm
provement of the property. He built
fence around 1t, cleared away the
underbrush and made driveway from
the entrance to the famous spring. He
was planning to build house over the
cabin to protect it from the elements
when business reverses forced him to
make an assignment.
Just before this he had complied
with the request of the officials of the
exposition in Nashville, Tenn, and had
shipped the Lincoln cabin to be placed
on exhibition there. From Nashville
the cabin went to New York, where 1t
was exhibited several months. Later
1t was stored in warehouse.
A few days before making an as

Cave for State Auditor.

Thomas II, Cave, it,, OF Barre is a
candidate for state auditor Mr.. Cave
is at present assistant state treasurer
He represented Barre in the legislature
OF 1910 and has had a splendid training
in business and banking. The other can
idate for auditor is Benjamin Gates of
Montpelier, secretary To Governor Gates.
Mr.. Gates is deservedly popular and has
hosts of friends, but there is feeling
that his training and experience do not
ft him TO disburse the million and a half
dollars that Vermont spends each year.
Much of the disbursement is merely
routine. but there is a chance for the
state to lose many thousands of dollars
annually through any weakness in the
auditors department. This contest makes
one more for the voters TO decide at the
September primary and as the auditor
is the man who pays out the money the
Office calls for competent man. As the
situation stands Mr.. Gates is the best
known and Mr.. Cave the best trained. -

The Milk Transportation Middle.

We have been trying to figure out the
effect OF the recent decision of the inter-
state commerce commission that leased
milk cars upon the New England rail.
roads is illegal and cannot be continued.
The news dispatches said il would mcan
loss in revenue TO the Boston & Maine
railroad of 100000 per year, and that
the leased car user could ship milk 900
miles at "lower per quart charge than
carload shipment whose milk is produced
at a point 100 miles from Boston. The
result is, of course, that dairy farm in
northern New Hampshire, Maine or Yer
mont, or even in Canada, is substantially
as valuable for supplying milk to Sos
ton as a similar farm one.third the dis.
lance therefrom."
We conclude from the above that the
adjustment of the leased car will great.
ly increase the cost of transporting Yer.
mont milk to Boston. Therefore we do
not see how it will mean any cheaper
milk to Boston consumers. The middle.
man is not likely to reduce his profits oil
handling the milk. Therefore we do not
see any thing but lower price to Che
Vermont farmer for his milk ii he con
tinues to sell it for the Boston market
The only advantage we can see is the
farmer will be enabled to ship milk in
his own name on exactly the same terms
as the large dealer, but this is something
he will not be in a position TO do be-
cause he cannot arrange for the distribu-
ton of his milk in Boston. The new or
der may allow competition between mid
dlemen for the milk of any section but |
if they have to pay more transportation
costs we do not see how they can pay the |
farmer more for his milk
We fail to see any advantage to Yer
monters in the new order nor any relief |
to city consumers or the large milk deal
ers. 1t looks to us as though it is
against the law to conduct the milk bus
mess at the lowest cost and for the
greatest benefit to all concerned with il.
We may have wrong idea of the stu
ation, and await the development with
considerable interest.--St. Johnsbury

BOY AND HORSE DROWNED.
Young Man Drove Into the Connecticut
River at So. Lunenburg.

st. Johnsbury, Aug. 1.-The Connec-
ticut river claimed another victim late
Sunday night when George Moore of
Fitzdale lost his hfe at the ferry at
South Lunenburg. The body was recov-
cred yesterday morning near the place
where he and his horse were drowned
The boy, who was II years old, had
been driving with Miss Lucretia Powers
of South Lunenburg and was returning
to his home, having left the young wom-
an at her residence
1t is supposed that he fell asleep and
the horse, instead of waiting at 3he
ferry, plunged into the river. People
nearby heard the splash and hurried to
the ferry to find the horse, carriage and
driver disappearing from sight.
The water is very deep at that point
and it was impossible to rescue them. The
drowned man was employed by the Fi-g-

CULPABLE CARELESSNESS

Pending the outcome of the various in
vestigations to determine, if possible, the
cause of the fire which eventuated in the
destruction of property valued from S25,-
100000 to $45,000000 and in the death of
several persons, it is pertinent to inquire
perhaps why the Black Tom pier was
not more effectually watched for Just
such an outbreak of flames as occurred
early Sunday morning. The pier had
been used for a year as loading point
for munitions which were to be shipped
to the members of the entente alliance;
the whole place had become, so to speak
a finder box, waiting merely for the
touch of a match to 90 up in smoke
Tons and tons of shells shrapnel and
cartridges were always being held there
in transit, while explosives OF other sorts
were collected in huge quantities ready
for shipment across the water. In short,
the Black Tom pier was a point of ex-
treme hazard both for human life and for
property.
And vet this point of extreme hazard
was not sufficiently guarded but what
one or more lighters were enabled to be
brought up and moored in close proxim-
ity to the great stores Of explosives; and
that same apparent lack Of surveillance
permitted a fire to be started in one Of
those lighters and to creep from the boat
TO the pier and thence to the freight cars
loaded with explosives. II might reason
ably have been expected that such
dangerous section would have been guard.

The announcement that the state fair
society would reduce the fee for parking
automobiles at the fair next September
will be pleasing news to thousands Of
motorists. There has been considerable
complaint in times past of the hold up"
OF a dollar charge for location for an
automobile, together with the necessity
of tipping" the man in charge an add
tional dollar in order TO get location
from which an automobile could be ex-
traeted before a late hour in the evening
on the big days-Rutland News.
Those who have been paying two dol
lars instead of one dollar for 40 square
feet OF space on the state Playground for
few hours have only themselves to
blame The state fair commission here
tofore has set the price OF the parking
privilege at one dollar per car and that
amount was supposed to cover all the
necessary expenses, the attendants in
charge of the ground being placed there
simply to direct people and to prevent
confusion and possible accident. 1t is to-
be presumed that those attendants were
paid by the state fair management (1fI
the presumption is not correct we are
willing to be set right.) When those at
tendants direct the cars to positions they
merely perform their duty; and they
ought to have no moral right to give ia
vored locations in return for dollar
slipped into their own pockets by per
sons obsessed with the tipping mania.
Moreover, it is a real encroachment on
the prerogatives OF the fair commission |
if these attendants set themselves up in |
private business, so to speak, and rent
ground over which they have no legal
right. We are surprised that the state
fair management would permit of such a
course of action. Every car driver who
pays his stipulated charge for parking
privileges is entitled to that location
which comes to him at the moment he
lriyes onto the grounds, the location be-
ing dependent on the systematic align
ment of cars in the least possible space.
This matter of parking automobiles
ought to be investigated little more
loosely by the state fair commission.
