An Educational Asset.

There are many evidences of a grow
ing appreciation throughout the country
of the educational features of the Boy
Scout movement; one of the most i'm
portant of which is the interest taken
in our work by the school superin-
tendents of the United States, as in
dicated by the invitation extended to
the chief scout executive to address one
of their meetings in the national gath
ering held recently in Detroit, Mich.
The educational features of scout
work are growing in public favor be
cause they fill a real need. The work
is rapidly gaining recognition as the
greatest force in character education
for boys that exists outside the home.
Every Boy Scout receives an education
in character building whether he recog-
nizes the fact or not, and the effects
are becoming increasingly felt through
out the country
Another educational feature of scout
work which is growing in Importance
is the practical training in practical
subjects through our requirements TO
advancement in scouting. Many eases
are being brought to our attention OF

The new president of the Reading
railroad, Agnew T. Rice, began work
as a flagman and climbed to his present
Job on merit alone. 1t is an old story
of American life, but one that never
loses its charm, a story that fires the
imagination of every other American
in whom is born the ambition to adj
vance. America is still the land of
opportunity, and a man s horizon is
only limited by the limits of his inn
agination and his capacity for hard
work and the power to grasp the OPP
portunities when they are presented.
Along this line of reasoning we com
mend the following, written by DR..
Russell H. Conwell in the American
Magazine for April: '"There has been
altogether too much talk about the Sc
cret of success. Success has no Sc
cret. Her voice is forever ringing
through the marketplaee and crying in
the wilderness, and the burden of her
cry is one word-will. Any normal
young man who hears and heeds that
cry is equipped fully to climb to the
very heights of life. AS a matter of
| fact the world owes a man nothing that
| he does not earn. In this life man
gets about what he is worth, and he
must render an equivalent for what is
given him. There is no such thing a:
inactive success.

POOLING THE TIME AWAY.

Congress has been in session for
three and half months, counting the
holiday recess, but not an important
bill has been passed The President
has grown impatient and wants to
hurry things up. The time before the
meeting of the national conventions is
growing short and congress is re-
luctant to pass important measures of
a controversial nature when a ma
tional campaign has started in earnest.
The New York World does not hest
tate to express. itself pointedly. It
says:
''Several reasons may be given for
the failure of congress to go about its
business There is lack of leadership,
especially in the house. There has
been a mischievous tendency to inter
Efere with matters properly in the keep
ing of the executive. There has
been a good deal of cheap and fussy
personal politics. But more detracting
than all else have been the time-kill-
ing, desultory discussions that began
nowhere and ended nowhere.
Such dialogues as that in the SEN
ate on Monday cannot be regarded Sc
riously by anybody. With nothing in
particular under consideration, a day
was wasted in idle chatter. A sewing
circle made up Of village gossips would
not have addressed itself with more
hippancy to any question than was
shown by these representatives of SOW
ereign states in their giddy heartto-
heart talks on preparedness and the
situation in Mexico.
while issues of the gravest char
acter are demanding sober attention
both branches of congress are david
ling away the days. What we hear il
mostly the tattlings of the shadows
If there are any deeps, they are
dumb. -..
The fact Of the matter is that con
gress is made up of too many quib
bling lawyers and politicians. Mos
of the speeches so far delivered hav,
been for political effect at home. Mos
of the committee work has been il

prayer meeting. The best time to over
eat is on Saturday, which will allow
Sunday TO be observed as a day of
fasting and prayer, as was orig nally
intended.
Overeating is a fertile cause of
long distance dyspepsia, which hangs
around the premises long after the
victim has taken to drinking bouil-
lion in stick form. Dyspepsia is pro
duced by the stomach becoming dis
satisfied with its surroundings and re-
fusing to become aeclimated to any
kind of food. 1t is a mournful, un-
healthy disease with high temper
and a nagging disposition, and is
harder to discourage than the h"y-
fever germ. People who overeat with
great violence are particularly sub
.iect to it, and have to be put on a
diet of saekcloth, ashes and scalded
milk.

LRutland News

(Rutland News.)
A Westminster West farmer has rea-
son for thinking that there is more
money in raising sheep than milk in
Vermont. He forwarded to Boston some
hot house lambs and they brought a
little over forty-fve cents pound in
that market. 1t is a sample of what
doubtless may be done by farmers
throughout Vermont The farmer in
question, Fred G. Campbell, has had
a great deal of .exper ence, and his
opinion is of value. A graduate of the
Massachusetts Agricultural college, the
owner of the largest farm in this vi
cinity, he knows all about the business
of shipping milk to Boston, an indus
try in which most Vermont farmers
are interested, and he is an authority
on sheep, having been brought up. BY
one of the most prominent Merino
sheep breeders of the state, his father
who was widely travelled and who ex.
hibited prize-winning sheep at state
national and international exhibitions
Mr.. Campbell points the way, and pro
badly other farmers of Vermont viii

fancy lambs at fancy prices.

Enforcing the Law.


Enforcing the law is just now live
topic for discussion, and in a friendly tilt
between the Brattleboro Reformer and
the Springfield Reporter the latter invites
the former and every other newspaper in
the state to get into line for a campaign
of education that will result in the en-
forcement of the liquor law and the seeur-
ing of recruits to the practice of total alb
stinence to a degree such as the state has
never before known. The Reformer ac-
cepts the challenge; and there should be no
hesitation on the part of the rest of us in
cooperating to this very desirable end

Seeing Things at Night.

Some of the younger Republicans in
Vermont are up in arms. They claim
to have discovered that group of old
er and more conservative Republicans
met recently in a large city outside of
the state and fixed ga slate for del
egates to the Republican national con
vention in Chicago, which they hope
TO put through at the coming state con
vention to elect delegates to the ma
tional convention provided for in con
nection with direct vote for choice
of President, if the voters so desire.
The young Republicans say they will
not stand for this, and they propose to
make fight to give the younger and
more progressive element of the party
representation in the national councils.
If Hughes and Roosevelt. and so on, re-
fuse to assent, the young men can not
readily vote for a liberal candidate in
Vermont s presidential primary, but
they will fight to select delegates to
the state convention, standing for a
progressive Republican upon whom Re
publicans and Progressives can unite
The Free Press has no axe to grind
in this connection. We desire that ac-
| ton which viii be best for Vermont
and for the Republican party On gen
| eral principles, we believe IN giving
| the young men a chance in politics as
well as in business and Vermont con
servation and development. In this, az
in other connections, we believe full
publicity is great promoter of good
wholesome government, and as a live
newspaper we shall try to keep ou1
readers informed regarding develop
ments as they occur in connection Will
the presidential campaign in Vernon
and elsewhere.
