Forgetting Famous vermOnters
Me Rutland Herald remarks:

The Rutland Herald remarks:
Most Yermonters forgot the cen
tenary of John G. Saxe's birth which
occurred yesterday. An oversight,
but not an obliteration.'
True, as far as the forgetting is
concerned.
And that suggests the fact that we
of Burlington make nothing whatever
of the memory of the famous literary
men who once lived here. John G..
SAKE was resident of Burlington
when he made his literary reputation.
We lack the energy to erect tablet
to mark his home here--and we ven
ture to say that not one Burlingtonian
out of hundred knows today what
house ID wasfthat the SAKE family
occupied. The two ilustrious mem
bers of the Marsh family-George p.
Marsh and President Marsh of our
university--never lived here, as far as
the fact depends on visible memorials.
President Marsh II was whose writing
made S. 4. Coeridge famous in Amer.

President Wilson has approved the
tentative selection of Senator Ollie
James of Kentucky for permanent
chairman OF the democratic conven-
ton at st. Louis. This assures the
election of the senator by the conyen-
ton. As permanent chairman Senator
James will be named TO head the com
mittee which will notify Mr.. Wilson of
his nomination, as he did after the Bait

Missouri has been tentatively decided
upon as chairman of the platform COM
mittee, and when he goes to st. Louis
probably will carry with him the out

DREAMS THAT COME TRUE


news the brief statement that Coop
er Union received $500 students dur
ing the year, but turned away $500,
recalls one of the most beautiful true
romances of American history.
Peter Cooper, halter, brewer, brick
maker, gluemaker, inventor, typifed
the many-sided American genius, as
Franklin had done before him. He
built the first railway engine in Ameri
ca, rolled the first structural iron
beams, helped lay the first Atlantic
cable. Perhaps his greatest invention
was Cooper Union. 1t was the parent
technical institution. 1t showed the
way not only to hundreds OF such
American schools at Pratt and Armour
Institutes but to foreign ones of the
Charlottenburg order So wisely did
he plan that his successors have never
had to change, merely to develop what
he began
Cooper had not only Vision but Faith
| He left nothing to the Union-ex
cept heirs whom he trusted to carry
| it on, as they did, generously and with
out selfadyertisement. for many years
| until Andrew Carnegie came to their
| assistance, though his name cannot be
! associated with the work that com
memorates the earlier ironmaster.
AS Cooper, wished, the Union is in
the heart of the city. Even now ii
has an endowment of but $4,O00,00O
against the $2S,0OOO0O OF Harvard
Chicago's $2O,O0O,OOO, Leland Stan
| fords $4,000, 900. Does it not seem
as IL New York might give to the great
est of all Peter Cooper's dreams that
| came true such support that it would
not need in its sixtieth year to turn
away more than half the aspiring
youth that seek its doors?-New York
World
In the wills of two Bennington manu-
facturers who have passed away in re
cent years, Charles Cooper and Olin
Scott, is reflected the same spirit that
prompted Peter Cooper to found the
famous New York institution. The
| will of Charles Cooper left a legacy for
the creation Of the Charles Cooper In
dustrial school while that of his fel
low townsman provided that a certain
portion of his residuary estate should
be used in aiding young men to fur
Their their education along scientific
and mechanical lines. Like Peter Coop
er, the Bennington benelactors wer,
workmen before they became employ
ers and they therefore had a first hanc
knowledge of the requirements in tn
sphere toward which they sought to d
rect the thought of coming genera
lions Of young men.
And while the environment of on
late fellow townsmen was limited it
not difficult to picture
certain similarity of type I
. the characters of the three me-
: To begin with they were all workmer
{ they created things with their ow
hands. Eventually they became the d
recting heads Of industries that the
3 created but apparently they alwa!
8 retained q neyer.failing interest in Il
z skilled mechanic and his produC
. In the disposition of the property til,
S had accumulated through many yea
= of industry they sought to give
young men who should begin as tn,
begun a better mental equipment al
J therefore better chance to succe
as they had succeeded.

Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug

Ii you take calomel today you'll be
