 Blood Against Blood.'' by Arthur Sid ney Booth Clibborn, is of intense interest and calculated to arouse the deepest poss- ble regard for the author.
 It is brilliant book, abounding in start ling, Illuminating and gripping illustra- tions and similes. A book of convinc- ign power that effectively straightens out the crooks and tangles that abound in our prevalent illogical and perverted form of Christianity. It is not against war per SC, but against the Christians partici- patton in war, because, and as the author abundantly proves, the Christian has an infinitely higher calling, and one that will tax all his resources of courage and devo- tion and may even demand his blood. In a word, it makes Christs claims on His followers paramount. Its striking thoughts clothed in language of graphic power tempt the reader to mark nearly every paragraph. It is the most com polling restatement of the essential Chris tian principles known to us. To read it is to acquire an education as to what Bible Christianity really is. It clarifies the at mosphere of religious thinking to crys- tai clearness.

which give little promise of anything
like adequate financial returns. And
there is further consolation to be
found in the fact that employment for
practically all of the men who have
positions in the Carpenter plant could
be found in other Brattleboro indus
tries in case the business were Hqui-
dated. Furthermore, the requirement
by the S. A. Smith Manufacturing
company of the services of the man
who has been the backbone of the
Carpenter concern for so long a period
and with such excellent results is
likely to mark the beginning of a
period of steady growth and increased
prosperity in the life of the former
corporation, already one of Brattle
boro S principal industries.

Save the Lakes.
(Island Pond Herald. }

There is much to be said with rela-
tion to the above and we are pleased
to know Commissioner Titcomb is
bringing the question to the front The
curse of our beautiful Vermont lakes
is their shore flooded conditions through
unreasonable uplifted outlet dams, or
the opposite conditions which leaves all
the shore waste and high water killed
vegetation and dead tree foliage ex-
posed. And there is not a lake of pond
in the midst of our civilization whose
shores, or under water bottoms as far
as the eve can look down, are not tang
led with water soaked logs, treetops
and brush as sad reminders of the
woodman s axe. One of the most pleas
ing sights we witnessed in the 81 out
of 81 lakes we passed in our canoe. trip
to Hudson s Bay, was the natureal
| beauty of the untouched shores, and
! thelake bottoms clean as polished floors.
| If there was sand beach, caused by
the natural lowness of the water, it
was white and clean even into and far
under the water s edge. If the water
| reached to full banks the foliage over
! Tapped, or stood out thick and full and
green and with an evenness resembling
well kept hedge. And that hedge like
shore line, where lodges did not i1etr-
vene, was as perfect as if laid out by
a carpenters rule. Such lakes have an
attractiveness that must be seen to be
enjoyed. And our lakes, even in the
midst of civilization, though impos
sible to retrieve all of their pristine
beauty, could be improved upon to q
gfeat extent. Old rubbish could be
cleaned out-for it will never rot-a1d
new rubbish and sawdust not allowed
to be thrown in. Forbid by law the
high dam and outlet gate system that
exceeds the line dam nature ordained
Teach foliage and trees to again adorr
tn shores instead Of burning them Il
the waters edge. We should keep ;
little of the original scenic beauty o.
the world with us even though we d.
advance, and it could not be done easie1
than along our beautiful rivers an,
5 lakes.

An ancestor is a person who came to
this country for the purpose of planting a
family tree and enjoying a private brand
of religion. Prior to the discovery of
America by Christopher Columbus there
were no ancestors in this country to speak
of, and there was also an alarming short
age of religion. In fact, there was not
enough religion to put into a pint cup.
but now all this has been changed. with
the result that the unmanicured and soul
sick immigrant now has access to more
kinds of religion than there are different
brands of safety raZors.
1t was very difficult task to be an an
cestor in the early days of the republic
The country was new and had no modern
.eonveniences, such as open plumbing and
demountable rims. Thousands of discon-
tented ancestors drifted over here expect
ing to find a stable form of worship and
furnace heat, only to be forced to Join the
Plymouth Rock church and fuss with the
draft of a tin stove. Many of our most
godly ancestors became backsliders in heart
a result of this experience, and many OF
them grew to be chilblained agnostics re-
fusing to attend church or aid in sending
missionaries to foreign unbelevcrs who
were well pleased with what religion they
had When this occurred, there was d

The Battaini case only tends to

way between Brattleboro and Benning
ton. The views of the selectmen on
these questions would be extremely
valuable if expressed in connection
with the state of the town s finances,
and it would tend to facilitate intel
igent discussion of the propositions
between now and town meeting time
1t often happens that important mat
tiers are passed over hurriedly in town
meeting, chiefly because the voters do
not possess sufficient information to
take positive action, and while The
Reformer tries to agitate such matters
as much as possible with a view to
informing the public there is never a
time when the opinions of the town
fathers would come amiss.

As to candidates for offices to be
filled in town meeting very little has
vet been heard. Mr.. Merrill s three
year term as selectman expires this
year and the probabilities are that
there will be no opposition to his re
election. His seven years experience
as clerk of the board makes him a
valuable man to the town. The office
of road commissioner is always likely
to arouse contest, but nothing has
yet developed to warrant the belief
that Mr.. Walker is not entitled to an
other term. AS far as the listers are
concerned there may be a renewal of
the controversy of last year over the
question whether three or five should
be chosen. Here is another case
where the selectmen might well tell
the voters frankly which number, in
their opinion, is the more efficient.
Figures showing comparative costs in
this particular line of town business
would be of great helping in settling
, the matter.

The New York legislature has before
it a bill to determine the sentiment of
the women of the state toward suffrage
by permitting all women who could
vote if it were not for the sex qualifi-
cation to vote on the day before the
general election in November, using
the same polling places and the same
election officers that the men will use
the next day. The scheme is good
one. Very few men will object to wo-
man S suffrage when it is fairly
demonstrated that big majority of the
women wish to vote.

meeting of more devout ancestors and the
policy of cremating skeptics was intro
duced
Many American families preserve their
ancestors in a large bound book, which
starts with the 'Mayfower' and leads up
to the second marriage of the last ancestor.
A great many people have dug back into
their ancestry until the trail led into some
county Jail, when they abandoned the
search and decided to allow sterling worth
to act as a substitute for blue blood. 1t
