IGNORANT OF SONS DEATH
Former German Empress Too Ill to
Be Told, Doctors Say.

DOORN, Holland. July 20 (by the AS
ISOLATED Press).-Dr. Vandenburg, who
assists the court physician in the treat
ment of the former German emperor,
was called into consultation at Doom
Castle tod y and decided that the condi-
ton of the former empress was such as
to forbid her being informed of Prince
Joachim's death.
No service has been held at Doom
Castle and no one has gone from there
to attend the funeral. The former en-
peror is greatly afflicted, and his grief is
augmented by the necessity of hiding
the truth from his wife.
A special message from Wieringen
says that former Crown Prince Frede-
rick Wilhelm. though informed of the
death of Joachim, has decided not to
come to Doom lest his visit upset his
mother.

statement on the part of the eontem-

Of what it says about the relative
ability Of the small town and the large

true; but il IS in part due to the great
calls made on the large towns to help

Great Water System in South Africa.

One of the largest engineering
schemes ever undertaken in South Al
RIGA is now being carried out to supply
| the city of Johannesburg and the min
ing towns on the 7O-mie strip of gold
| bearing reef with water.
1t was decided that the present sys-
tenn of supplying the Witwatersrand
with water was inadequate, and a
scheme for damming the waters of the
Naal river, about 40 miles away, was
sanctioned by the government, with
the result that the work was put in
hand about year ago. The Vaal riy-
er barrage is "a miles downstream
from Vereeniging a spot famous Tor
the signing of peace at the cessation of
the Anglo. Boer war.
Great progress has been made, and a
glance at the huge works gives one the
impression that some big Nile work is
in the course of construction.
The barrsge will supply water TO
Johannesburg and the Rand TO the ex-
tent of 20000,000 gallons daily by
pumping through a 40-mile pipeline,
thus supplying the 70-mile strip of
thickly populated gold-mining area.
The initial plant to be installed at a
total cost of fl,750,000 tof which the
barrage itself will cost f2s5,000l, will
supply 100000 gallons daily.
The barrage is expected to be COM
pleted early in 1921, and will back up
the Vaal to form huge lake nearly
40 miles long, which will contain 49,
633,000,000 gallons of water, and be-
sides supplying water to the towns
the dam will irrigate many square
miles of country.
This huge undertaking is an instance
of the progressive spirit OF the union
government, which spirit has permeat-
ed the whole of South Afriea.--London

treasury far more than it is getting
out, while the small towns are sharing
in the larger amount remaining in the
treasury. The small towns are being
materially assisted in this way through
the state government at Montpelier,
while the large places, some of them, at
least, are hard put to it to maintain
themselves. incidentally, it may be
stated, that the large towns are not
as a rule commissioning the small
towns although they recognize that
some of the back towns are being
rapidly depopulated and must have
their affairs administered by some
agency like the state government; nor
are the large towns anxious to take
over the mandatory of any towns. The
talk which emanates from the larger
towns is because the editors happen to
be living in the larger towns.

Fate's Favorite.

ish of opportunity as TO William Ho-

docile. patient, Industrious. which fol-

Fate decreed that he should have the
choice Of fight or defiance in a moment
of danger.
Had he chosen defiance his life might
have been the price; he would have
won relief from the existence he leads
But IL is more likely that he would have
survived. the ruler Of his people, the
idol of the cult which sees divinity in
kings.
He chose flight. but with him went
good fortune.
To him this day Fate again presents
golden opportunity. His enemies seek
him. They approach his unwilling keep

State Expenses.

Surely Candidate Foote has our very
sincere support in any campaign that
he may initiate for the lowering of
state expenses but we confess to a dis
belief in any notable result in that di-
rection.
We have never been impressed with
the thought that there Is any great
amount of waste, inefficiency or ex
travagance in the management of state
affairs. From a comparative stand
point we suppose Vermont ranks pref
ty well in the matter of state expendi-
lures. Very generally economy has
been the watchword and one legisla
ture after another has We'd in keeping
expenses down through curtsilment of
unnecessary expenditures or expendi-
lures which seemed to the members to
be unnecessary.
Naturally there has been steady
upward trend in state expenses Just
as there has been steady upward
trend in the upkeep of every home in
the land but that upward trend doesn't
indicate by any means that somebody
is playing fast and loose with state
finances.
Possibly we shall have decline in
prices later and this win assist mate
rally in lowering state expenses but
we don't believe that much opportu-
nifty is offered for the application Of
further doses Of economy We have
economical right up to the limit
However, il Mr.. Foote can find any
weak spots in the state administration
he has our moral support in his cru

An element which makes the recent
uprising of so-called Spartacans in
Germany most dangerous is that these
workingmen have an avocatioh of car,
rying on war. Nominally, they are
workingmen but, actually, large per-
centage of them are soldiers trained in
the hard school of four years of fierce
warfare against theallies; and when
they get arms into their possession
they become formidable opponents to
the soldiery which wears the uniform
of the German army The Spartacans
are no doubt as good soldiers as the
uniformed men. That's what makes
the present outbreak of the so-calIed
Spartacans so serious, the revolution
by Won Kapp and his followers being
almost nothing in comparison.

The village of Bennington is going
into the business of permanent road
building on large scale, the sum of
100000 having been authorized by the
citizens in village meeting recently.
The expenditure of that amount of
money ought to go far toward lifting
Bennington out of the class of city
corporations whose principal streets
are not ON parity with the country
roads in smoothness. 1t is an amount
which makes a large-sized fraction of
the amount which the entire state will
expend during the present year. But

CURRENT COMMENT
Agan's Candidacy.

Frank w. Agan of Ludlow has en-
tered the race for the nomination for
governor against c, S. Emery of New
port, James Hartness of Springfield,
and f. II. Rabbit of Bellows Falls.
Frank Agan was running mate OF
Clements in the famous local option
fight of 1902 and perhaps holds many
Of the present governors views. 1t is
fairly well known that Agan's senti-
ments are in opposition to prohibition
in general and to the present enforce
ment act in particular Undoubtedly
Mr.. Agan interprets the March meeting
vote which in theory put more towns
in Vermont than ever before into the
wet column, as a protest in this state
against the present prohibition legis
lation. How far Mr. Agan can get on
this issue is a question to be settled
later, but this paper believes the num-
Der of voters who will support a wet
gubernatorial candidate, as such, are
comparatively few, and that unless Mr..
Agan can give the voters something
more tangible, definite and construc-
tive than mere campaign of protest
against prohibition and its enforce
ment, his campaign will fall fiat. Since
Mr.. Rabbit hold similar view to
that of Mr. Agan with regard to the
Vostead enforcement act it would APP
pear to this paper that his entry into
the campaign would take more from
Mr. Rabbits strength than from that
Of Emery or Hartness, who are gen
orally known to be in sympathy with
prohibition as it now stands, and since
Agan comes from the south end Of the
state where Rabbit and HARNESS both
live, his entry would also take from
Hartness more strength than from En-
ery.-Barton Monitor.

The st. Johnsbury Republican carries
the slogan; Vermont expects every
maple sugar maker to do his duty" al
the top of its title in this weeks issue
The slogan is well put and we'll timed
There are some indications that Yer
mont is going to have one of the best
chances in long time to produce a
record crop of maple sugar; and to let
the opportunity slip by would be al
most criminal. Vermont is peculiarly
well situated to get large aggregate
income from its maple sweets, and the
high price of graduated sugar makes
it certain that there will be an easy
market for all the high-grade sugar
that can be made. In this connection
il is well to emphasize that the revenue
office has made the ruling, contrary to
the first ruling by the Vermont rep.
resentatiye, that maple sugar in cakes
is not subject to the government tax
such as is placed on eonfections. Cakes
composed entirely of maple sugar are
not taxable. So that ruling removes
one of the drawbacks of a side issue of
the maple sugar industry. Therefore.
let every Vermont maple sugar maker
do his duty.

Over on the west side of the state
bluejays, nuthatches, chickadees, wood
peckers, pine grosbeaks and snowbunt
ings are being entertained. These birds
are not exactly harbingers of spring
but their companionship must be very
enjoyable in the bleak days of March
Various items in the state press tell
of faithful efforts to feed these splen-
did little visitors, in accordance with
the request of the Audubon society.
The birds have been having a hard
winter just the same as human beings
have had, and they are considerably
more handicapped to get means of sus-
tenance.
