RESTORING THE DISABLED

All Vermont will watch with ial.r-
est the eleven children, victims of pol
iomyelitis, who underwent operations at
the Proctor hospital a weel, ago. The
operations included tendon trans. lanta-
ton, the relieving of hip 1exion con-
traction, muscle transportation and
other paralysis resulting from poiomy-
elitis 1t is the first operating clinic
held in this state and it is said to have
been very satisfactory. Every opera
ton was free and is a part of the work
of the poliOmyelitis research depart
mcnt of the state board of health.
One encouraging feature of the I'M
dertaking is that about twenty other
children have been sent out of the state
for operations in Boston and New York
hospitals and every operation has prov
en- successful. There is no reason why
similar work cannot be done in Yer
mont hospitals at less expense fol-
transportation and we hope the Proc.
tor experiment is the beginning of Z
larger work of saving the unfortunate
victims of this terrible seourge. Whilt
| medical science has not been able t
prevent this disease it is doing q great
work for humanity in rescuing the chill
drcn from its worst effects.

The election of Victor Emanuel Or.
lando to the presidency of the Italian
Chamber of Deputies may be expected
to help immensely toward an intelli-
gent and immediate solution of the dis
tressful conditions now prevailing in
Italy, for no man possesses more in
innate knowledge of the internal af-
fairs in that country than he. Of very
distinguished appearance, Signor Or
lando has had an equally distinguished
career. He was born at Palermo and
educated at the university in that city.
For some years he was a professor OF
Jurisprudence first at the University
of Modena and later at Palermo. In
1897 he entered public life as a mem-

AN AMERICAN HANDICAP.

The field secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement OF
COlored People has prepared a state
ment showing that between July 81
and November % of this year thirty.
eight people, mostly Negroes, have been
murdered by mObs in this country
while only nine Americans have met
violent deaths in Mexico from The
hands Of the Mexicans
Two of the mob victims in this coun
try were Mexieans who were taker
from Jail and hanged ut Pueblo, Cal
on September IA. With one exception
the other victims We're Negroes, foul
of them being discharged soldiers. l,
six instances the victims were burned
at the stake. These lynchings tool
place in thirteen different states blu
the greatest number occurred in Georg
ia where there were fifteen lynching
in period of four months, three of tn
victims being burned to death.
While this record brings shame to ey
cry law abiding American it does no
excuse this government from the dut,
of protecting its citizens in Mexico.

A Growing Organization.
Rutland News.)

The Vermont Grange, Patrons OF
Husbandry, grows apace, as is disclosed
by the officers in their reports at the
annual meeting in Montpelier this
week. This organization has done Won
derful service for the people of Yer.
mont, especially those in the farming
districts, and it has deserved all of its
splendid development. To the influence
of the Grange are to be credited better
farming methods, greater social advan
tages and an untold number of improve,
ments in conditions of agricultural life
The existence of the farmer today is
by no means the hard one that it was
a few years ago. The automobile, tn,
telephone, the rural mail delivery ser
vice, the motorization of farming pro
cesses, the extension of electric lights
and power, combined with better edu
cational and social opportunities hav,

attention to the merit of systematic

Henri Dunant was visiting Italy and

to help take care of the wounded. Ont
