Gov. Charles S. Whitman Of New

He was perhaps the flrst Of the big

people are now claiming a sure soven-

delegates. in spite OF the embat-

Speaking Of the activities of DIR. Jones in

DIR. Jones will be missed from 20

it is impossible TO conceive of her place

addition to her public activities, to which
she has devoted her energies to the sac

people has had countless demands upon
her time and sympathies of which out
siders knew nothing
"She is a woman who is proving be.

man's-size job. Hers has been more than
that, for since the death of her husband

maker as well, being both father and
mother to her daughters, whom she has
reared to womanhood."

The deputy United States marshal in
New York City, who had confessed
German spy in charge and who was so
trusting as to permit his prisoner to go,
unattended, into layatory in New
York restaurant, might have stepped out
Of the role of constable in some back
woods drama, only the constable in the
country drama would have been likely to
get suspicious if the prisoner didn't re-
turn in Is minutes and, having found
the prisoner gone, would have reported
the escape to his superior officer before
two days had elapsed, in which the flu
gitive was given a chance to flee the
country. The least punishment fitting
the case, which can be imposed on this
trusting deputy United States marshal,
is to deprive him of his office and set him
TO working for living. In the mean
time some searching investigation might
be undertaken to determine why he was
so recreant to his duty in the case of so
much international Importance as the

CURRENT COMMENT
Knowing Our Own Industries.

The minister Of the Baptist church at
Barre has followed In a limited measure
the example set by Mortimer r. Proctor,
in bringing the resources and attractions
of Vermont forcibfy to the attention Of
the people by means of stereopticon pic
lures. The Barre minister has taken
many photographs Of the granite quar-.
ries and stonesheds particularly and has
conducted his audience through them to
their enlightenment and entertainment.
The industries of Vermont may well be
promoted in this way. The pictures may
very likely lead a good many Of the res
idents to make personal visitation to the
manufacturing plants, and thus make
them more enthusiastic advocates of the
of their own state. The
Vermonter who is informed is always
loyal to his state and sees here as good
for business as may be
found anywhere in the country. Rut

THE MILITARY FEVER.

The military department of Dartmouth
college has started off under suspicious
circumstances, with an enrolment of 600
students all with an apparent eagerness
to participate in military drills and ma
neuvres. If the 600 students maintain
their enthusiasm after the first flush of
the novelty has worn off and if the gov
eminent should see its way clear to de-
tail regular army officer for training
them, considerable advantage would re-
suit to the students themselves and to
the government. It is possible, however.
that the military spirit at Dartmouth is
mere transitory wave OF enthusiasm
under the stress Of stirring times in Fu-
rope, reflected in a small measure in the
United States. The military fever has
its ups and downs. II rises to great
height when stirring deeds are being
done on the field Of battle; it subsidies
remarkably with the passing Of those
deeds. In times Of universal peace in the
world, lethargy comes over the military
organizations; and the spirit IS no more
noticeable than in those colleges which
have regularly constituted military de-
psrtments under the direction Of the war
department AZ Washington. The stu
dents find it extremely irksome 10 en-
gage in the slight military service de-
manded BY the curriculum, and they
are apt 70 slight their work in that de-
paFtment. They o. IT because they have

ORDER BUT NOT LAW.

Order prevailed, if not law, when a
mob of men seized five negroes from the
Worth county, Ca, Jail TO Sylvester and,
proceeding short distance out of the
town, hanged the five miserable men to
single branch of a tree. Indeed, there
was so much order that the program
moved along as ii by elockwork, not a
hitch arising to check the speed of the
operations The mob forced its way into
the jail by means Of ruse, cleverly con-
ceiyed and as cleyerly executed and
within moment or two they had the
five negroes bound and helpless. But the
smoothness of the movements only serves
to emphasize the enormity Of the crime
of that mob, for it indicates a certain
unaninity and precision of purpose
among the popnlace, which does not speak
well for the regard for law in that sec
ton. Not hand was raised to check
the action, not voice was spoken in OPP
position to the purpose, If newspaper re-
ports be correct. 1t was simply com
plete surrender to the rule of the mob
law, and too, before the men under ar
rest had been given opportunity to prove
their innocence of the charge of killing
deputy sheriff, 1t is another sorry event
for the United States to account for
when this country condemns brutality in
others.
