We read from the Brattleboro Reform
er that the new railroad station in Brat
tleboro is well lighted and that the
lighting arrangements for the entire
building are especially elaborate Pa
irons of the Central Vermont railroad
who have occasion to use the company's
station in Barre do not ask for any elab-
crate lighting system but they would
like to be accommodated with lights of
sufficient brlliance so that newspapers
could be read and fellow patrons could
be discerned across the waitingroom. The
miserable lighting arrangements in the
Barre station at the present time consti
tute a serious reflection on the progress

The colleges ought to be better pre-.

of the colleges are located in small com
munities where the fire fighting facilities
are inadequate and Others, which are To-
Gated in cities, are so far removed from
the center of activity in those commu
mites that valuable time is lost while the
firemen are reaching the college in case
of emergency. In either case the colleges
ought to have some fire fighting equip

WILSON A CANDIDATE.

The announcement by President vii
son that he will permit his name to be
used in the Ohio primaries simply bears
out foregone conclusion. 1t was al
most definitely established as far back
as the first few months of his present
term that he would be candidate for
re collection; and the conviction has been
I gaining in strength as the months and
years have gone by since that time The
one term plank of the last Democratic
platform was nothing but "scrap of
paper" anyway and it is as easily swept
| away as treaties are destroyed in Eu-
rope. Woodrow Wilson no doubt does
not feel himself bound by that collection
of words. He feels himself more or less
free of obligations which might seem to
be imposed thereby. And, indeed, he is
not limited by that declaration of prin-
ciple. There is no legal binding effect
and little moral binding effect. He is
free to run again for the presidency.
And run again he will. There is no one
in the Democratic party who stands any
where near his stature as an imposing
presidential candidate. He is pre-emi
nently the commanding figure of the
party at the present time. Moreover, he
has the advantage of being in the Office
to which he seeks to return. Hence it
would be very unnatural for the Demo
cratic party to look elsewhere for its
candidate for the presidency. Woodrow
Wilson will be named as the party can
didate without doubt.
And when Wilson does go before the |
voters of the United States, we venture |
to predict, there win be a tremendous
smashing OF party lines one way or an.
other, more 80 probably than for many
decades, because Of the preparedness is.

The late Judson +. Cushman OF Bur.

painstaking and faithful official. He
was particularly adapted to the work
which he was called upon to perform in
the working out of a system of taxation
for state revenue and in the admnistra

years. Hence it followed that he was

of his department, as well as by vigor

CURRENT COMMENT
Plea for State Forests.

In recent address in Rutland, Austin
| +. Halves, state forester, made an earnest
plea for the conservation and renewal OF
Vermont forests.
Among the reasons advanced were 70
build up the principal resources of the
back towns of the state; to conserve
rainfall and moisture; to add to our pos
sibilities for pleasure parks and profit.
Mfr. Halves called attention to Yer
mont's low average of loss by forest fires
and highly commended the states policy
of buying extensive forest areas, OF which
it now holds something like 10000 acres.
When Vermont comes to fully realize
the worth of her forest an water power
possibilities, industry and thrift will go
hand in hsnd.--St. Johnsbury Republi-
can.

RELIGION of the Future.

From President Eliot's Religion of
the Future" it appears that the prog
ress of the nineteenth century far out
stripped that of similar periods"-as
far perhaps as that of the last twenty
five years has in turn outstripped it..
The new ideas of God" which it has
produced give the basis for a new
twentieth century religion superior to
all others. Some of these new ideas
are monotheism, immanence, Gods
love, the alteration (dulia, not latria)
of all righteous persons, and the
tendency toward progress" 1t rejects
polytheism, apotheosis, tribal religion,
sudden change of character, mediation,
dogma, mystery, sacraments, the fall
of man, alienation from God and the
condemnation of the majority. 1t abb
jures the devil and will attack all his
works quickly; it will teach that he is
best who loves best and serves best,
and the greatest service will be to in
crease the stock of good will.

DISARMING THE BODY.

We may point out that alcohol, as
far as the digestive organs are con-
cerned, not only interferes with their
normal digestive functions, but also
destroys their natural powers Of pro-
tecting the body from disease. A per-
son who is suffering from alcoholic
dissipation, mild or severe, is less able
to destroy the microbes of disease
which may be taken in with the food,
and is, therefore, far more susceptible
to typhoid fever, cholera, and similar
diseases. The vital resistance to both
heat and cold is also diminished, as
we'll as resistance to infection, and the
body is thus disarmed to a large ex-
tent of its natural resistive and fight
ing forces, and thus becomes a more
easy prey to sickness, disease and
death.-A. B. Olsen, M. D., d. p. H.,

A Christian Science Article
Editorial in The Philadelphia (Pa.)
mr.,


The United States public health
service is engaged in sending out all
sorts of bulletins regarding health.
The doctors have been telling us that
the span of human life has been in
creasing. According to the health
service, it is not That is to say,
there is longer life among the young,
but among those who are over forty
five the death rate is actually in
creasing. The doctors have been saw
ing babies-or the mothers have be-
cause of better care-so that not so
many of them die at a tender age,
and once they get start they live
to become men in increasing num-
bers. But old age is becoming rarer.
The saving of life is at the beginning,
not at the other end
And yet the medicine men have
been overwhelming the public with
all sorts of advice and all sorts Of
"dont's." They have discovered germs
and bacteria and have told us how to
fight them. In the old days-when,
1t seems, more men lived to greater
ages-such things as germs and bac-
terra were unknown. So were many
of the modern diseases. Men were
not bound down by all sorts of rules.
They were not aware that death
lurked in everything they ate or
drank. They pursued the even ten
or of their way oblivious to danger
and they lived longer. We could not
have believed this had not the pub
lie health service of the United
States so informed us through it's Of
fetal bulletin.
How is this to be accounted for?
Let the doctors do the accounting.
But they have evidently not succeed
ed. Is it because they have failed to
cure that the best of them are los
ing faith in medicines and devoting
much more attention to prevention?
The truth about our friends the doc
tors-good men who have been doing
all that they CAMS that they have
not yet brought the practice of medi-
cine to scientific basis. Their art
has very largely been one of expert
mentation for centuries. And the
experiments are constantly changing.
Meanwhile, despite all the discover
les and all the rules drummed into
the brain Of the human, beginning
with his school days, average life af-
ter forty-five is growing shorter. So
reports the public health service.
Perhaps if men were not frightened
at every turn by the constant harp
ing on disease they would not be so
prone to fall victims to 1t. In any
event the sermons on disease which
the health authorities constantly
spread through the public prints ap-
do not produce the results
aimed at.
AT least that is the inference to be |
drawn from the report of the public |
health service which, by the way,
tells us in the same bulletin that |
bad temper is sometimes merely a |
symptom of bad health" Is it? Might |
Il not be nearer the mark If that |
statement had read: bad health is
the effect of bad temper?
