You, Mr.. Automobiles, when you wish
to take a short outing and give few
of your friends some pleasure-take
them to Cavendish, only short run
from Brattleboro, and there view the
famous gorge in the Black river, which
is entirely different in formation, but is
fully as wonderful sight as the Flume
i'll the Franconia range of the White
Mountains, which thousands of people
visit every year. We could tell you al
about it, but you will enjoy it more
by seeing it yourself and gaining youl
own impression. And when you are il

tiful soldiers monument in the state, F;

The Real Russian Crisis.
{ Boston Transcript.)

y few days will tell the story in Rus
sia-the story whether the revolution is
to be put ahead of the safety of the
country, or the future institutions of the
country are to wait on its defence
against an invader who will make a
total wreck of all its aspirations if he
wins his way
General Korniloff 8 attempt to seize
the reins of power looks at first glance
like an intended CONFERENCE.-THE but
in view of the vast support which the
revolution has had in principle, we do
not believe that the restoration of the
monarchy is in Korniloff S plans. To
make an attempt merely to restore the
monarchy would be to contribute to the
anarchy which all the sober influences
of the country must be anxious to bring
to an end.
Beyond a doubt. NJ Kcrenskv's gov
erning motive has been patriotic. So
/ has General Korniloff s. But Kerenskv
is apparently too much of a revolution
ist in habit and principle to be willing
to waive the momentary advantage OF
the social revolution, even for the de
fence of the country. The events of the
last few weeks, while apparently con

between the upper milestone of the con

nothing worthy of their efforts but tn
overthrow and destruction of the noble

Nothing but time will answer this ques

time to answer it. The country mus

What August 10 Stands For.
{ Bennington Banner.)

bennington Banner
1t has been asked if Bennington Bat
tie Day, which serves everywhere else
in the state merely as an excuse for
closing postoffices and banks, is OBJ
served in Bennington itself. We hear
that it is. On that day the village fire
department marches up street and then
marches down.-Bellows Falls Times.
The sooner the statute making Au-
gust Is 4 legal holiday in Vermont is
repealed the better. AS the Times SAYS,
all its observance amounts to is to give
postottice employees an excuse for clos
ing up and taking a holiday with pay,
benetiting only q favored few who have
more holidays with pay than any class
of workers. Business men who never
think of it till they find the postoffice
closed are put to serious inconvenience
Simply calling it a legal holiday is a
farcical performance. 1t should be abol-
ished.-Nergennes Enterprise.
The Battle of Bennington was the
| turning point Of the war of the Rev
olution. 1t was here that the blow was
! struck that crippled Burgoyne s hither-
J to conquering army. The battle was
won largely by unframed Vermont farm.
1 crs rallying around small detachments
of New Hampshire and Massachusetts
militia. 1t was a notable achievement
! i'll every respect and was Vermont s
] great contribution toward securing the
{ independence OF America We should
think the whole state OF Vermont would
he glad and proud to have Bennington
Battle day a holiday. In spite of the
gibe of the Bellows Falls Times the dan
is observed as a holiday in Bennington
and always celebrated and is as mucI
observed in other towns as are New
Year S day, Washington 5 birthday ant
Columbus day. Many of the states hav,
certain holidays to commemorate som,
notable state achievement. MasSachu
sets has three. Bennington does no
seek to dictate to the rest of the stat
but i'll these days when patriotic ctfor
and devotion are so much in demand
we submit that it is poor time to can
eel our mark of honor and respect to
, wonderful service done by Vernon
. soldiers Of past generation.
