THE TWO HAMANS.

Written for the Jewish Monitor.)
Listen my children and you will hear,
What happened in Persia and Algier,
And maybe in Germany, France or the
States?
Where, doesn't matter, so the story
relates.
There lived king Of very great fame
The king had q general, Henry or Ha-
man, by name.
Haman from humble soldier grew
To a mighty statesman and million
aire, too.
He rose to the height of all power in
And soon became the kings right
hand.
Hannah was naughty, cruel and mean.
He made the people bow and worship
him,
Except Mordecai, the Jew, a prince
from home,
Would only worship the Eternal
alone.
This made Haman angry, and a hatred
he bore,
To destroy Mordecai, the Jew, he
swore,
So he gathered his friends and asked
what to do,
To Mordecai, the unruly Jew.
He called wizards, magieians, he was
In dismay,
Hannah found no rest, until one day
II have IT, he exclaimed TO his men,
II will hire one with poisoned PEN"
So he sent out some pamphlets and
added his name,
Putting in all his efforts, money and
fame,
And there he did the deadly poison
spread,
With slurs and Islander he truly lost
his head.
zeresh, his wife, had a plan, too,
To build gallows, and hang the Jew.
The plot thickened as he went to the
king,
And q song Of woe he began to sing;
"There Is a people scattered every

900 annually for two years for stamp
the bill will undoubtedly become a
law, but the following from the
Breeders Gazette, recognized
standard breeders magazine, shows
that methods are not infallable by
any means. The editor tells of an
experiment of the veterinary depart
ment of the Montana Experiment. STA
ton, to determine the normal tenn
perature range in normal cattle. The
editor says: "Six daily temperatures
were taken in a herd of % cows for
period of 80 days. The results
showed that the simultaneous tuber-
culin test, depending entirely upon
the temperature curve for an inter-
probation, may not always be perfect
ly accurate. . The report states that
nearly every day one or more cows
in the herd exhibited temperatures
that would have been called reactions.
had tuberculin test been in progress
at the time, and might have necessi-
tated the condemnation of the ami
NAL" This is the test and method
of determining whether a cow is tu-
bercular or not, that has been in
vogue for score of years, which
veterinarians have told us was infal-
liable; but which has undoubtedly
caused the killing of hundreds. if not
thousands of cattle which were not
infected where the veterinary had to
point to some slight bunch to prove
that his test was right, when an ami
NAL which passed the test would car
ry such punches when slaughtered.
There are apparently two sides to this
question.

Religion the Bulwark of the Com
munity.
Est. Johnsbury Republican,


The bulwark of the community is
not it's stocks, bonds, real estate deeds
and money. The bulwark of any COM
munity is it's religion. Steel boxes to
hold papers and things of gold are
mere egg shells; a revolution would
break them wide open in a minute.
The real securities of the little prop
critics we hold in this life is religion
because religion is love, hope, civil
zation and such peace as this world
affords.
A brilliant young man asked J. w.
Johnson, treasurer of the Great
Western Electric Co., for job and
the first thing Johnson inquired &C
cording to Forbes Magazine, was:
"Do you believe in God?"
The young man said no, that he
had tried to find God with his intel
lect and failed.
"You have failed because you tried
to find Him with your intellect. God
is beyond human comprehension.
Let me explain.
GA few years ago, comet arrived
in the eastern sky. Astronomers
told us that it would be visible about
a month in advance of its appear
ance. They told us the day and hour
we would see it. The star was about
80 millions of miles away, moving
5000 miles a minute-moving as far
as from New York to San Francisco
in 60 seconds. 1t remained in sight
about month and then disappeared
After 80 years of travelling through
space it will again become visible to
those on earth Can your mind COM
prehend a body of such enormous
size as that it could be seen 80 mil
lion miles away and look as if it
were standing still, though moving at
the rate of 5000 miles minute?
"Then, think of it's going out of
sight and remaining out of sight for
80 years. Can you believe in that :?
How could it go on and on and not
bang into something? If your mind
will seek to grasp what that means,
then go few steps further and strive
to comprehend the power of the Be-
ing that created and controlled that
one star among the billions"

Newport and scores of other commu-
tiles in Vermont have the proper nat
ural setting for populous and popular
summer resorts, that natural setting
merely needing a touching up here
and there, a construction of accommo-
dations and then a vigorous campaign
of advertising. What ST. Petersburg
has done in the winter, Newport can
do in large part in the summer. Like
wise large number of communities
in Vermont which are almost as
equally well endowed by nature as is
Newport. We people of Vermont are
not awake to the possibilities which
lie within our grasp. We need lit
tie prodding and an inpouring Of the
spirit which animates the people of
Florida, of California and Of the beach
resorts. We are a trifle too slow
when it comes to the point of doing
something along this line.

Firm Supporter of Bates.
Bennington Banner.)

The Banner is firm supporter of
Stoddard B. Bates as highway COM
missioner for the state of Vermont
and believes that Governor HARNESS
should reappoint him-and most as
suredly rather than some unknown
candidate from outside the state. The
Banner also inclines to the belief that
the legislature, instead of invad-
ing the governors prerogative would
find it better to provide deputy to
assist the commissioner as there ap-
pears to be work enough for two
men. Commissioner Bates is road
builder but ought not be compelled
to give his valuable time to some of
the details scattered all over the Eat
Vermont towns. The voters of
Vermont made Mr.. Hardness gov
ernor by an unprecented majority and
the legislature should think twice be-
bore it undertakes to control the ap-
pointive power. At the same time
The Banner earnestly believes that
Governor Hartness should gracefully
Weld to the apparent sentiment of
the state in favor of retaining Com
missioner Bates in the important Of
fee which he holds.

Editorial comment upon the talk OF
w. w. True of Newport with refer
ence to the development of summer
business in this vicinity is copied
elsewhere in this paper. Here is
sounded a challenge which needs a
leader to promote. Orleans county
has a wonderful opportunity to bring
to itself a summer business of great
proportions. Here we have charm
ing bodies of water with fishing,
boating and bathing. Here we have
mountain climbing, good roads and
every natural attraction. We need a
strong organization with vision and
some capital. Why not county de-
velopment committee composed of
one or two members from each board
of trade organizations. Newport
Barton, Orleans, Derby Line and
North Troy ought to be represented
in such a committee and any town.
even though not having an organiza
ton of the kind mentioned, might
have a representative on this develop
ment committee. Orleans county is
a wonderful county and needs pro
noting for summer business. It can
be done.

PRESSCLIPPINCS
Booming a Home Product.
(Northfield NewS.)

Some 20 years ago, several bankers
and business men met in a conference
at the town of Rocky Ford, Col, as
to how they could push their place
ahead The town seemed to have got
into a rut, and it was doing nothing
out of the usual in any line. Some
body suggested that they persuade
the farmers to specialize on canta.
loupes. The bankers pledged special
support to the movement, and the
farmers were persuaded to take it up.
This led that town to obtain a repu
tation all over the country for grow
ing cantaloupes. From a little med
iocre town, Rocky Ford grew to a
place of handsome streets and bust
ness blocks and hotels. Specializing
on one product and getting out su-
perior article, did it. Any town can
make some degree of progress by do
ing the same thing.

Prin. E. S. Abbott, Rutland, son OF
Orleans county, by the way, says that
one of the agencies most needed m
that city is cooperation on the part
of students and parents in seeing
that pupils give reasonable amount
of time TO study when out of school.
A moments thought will show that
there is not time in school, where
most of the time is given to recita-
tions, to properly prepare the sub
jects required of a high school stud
ent today, and unless there is cooper
alton at home there cannot be good
results at school. The parent must
realize this responsibility before our
schools meet the expectation of the
public.

Murder, Suicide ad Religion.
(The Congregationalist)


W. cannot put among our grounds
Of thanksgiving the fact that the
United States is a world leader in
freedom from crimes of violence.
Mr.. Raymond Fosdick has given out
statistics compiled for the Bureau Of
Social Hygiene which show such facts
as these: London, with a population
of 100000 in 1916 had nine premed-
itated murders; Chicago in the same
year had 105. In fact, Chicago, with
100000 people, had 20 more muir
ders that year than England and
Wales together, and four more than
England, Scotland and Wales. In
the three years, 1916-1918, Glasgow
nad 80 homicides and Philadelphia,
only a little larger had 281. In 1917
New York had more than four times
the number of burglaries as London.
m 1915 New York City reported 838
robberies and assaults with intent to
rob, where London had 20 and Eng
land, Scotland and Wales 1922 In the
rext column Of the newspaper in
which this report of the Bureau of
Social Hygiene is printed is reported
this thought-provoking statement of
President Fisher of the Boston Boot
and Shoe Club:
From my own business experience
there is nothing on earth that bust
ness needs so much today as religion.
By that l mean responsibility to God.
% man and to the obligations that
go with it, in order that our rela-

lations of one brother to another.
Obligations must be kept and cove

Great Opportunities for Develop.
ment.
(Barre Times)

Back from visit to Florida, w. W.
True, Newport man, declared to the
Newport Chamber Of Commerce:
Newport, as summer resort, has
been endowed with far greater natu
raj resources than ST. Petersburg,
Florida, where tonight 10000 visitors
are being entertained. There are
greater attractions to bring people to
Newport in the summer than there
are to bring people to ST. Petersburg
in the winter. During the nast ten
ears st. Petersburg has grown from
city of 5000 to city of $4,000.
Whv cannot we develop the latent re-
-ources Of orr ccnarrnitv lust as the
,i+izere of this sorthe~n city have de-
veloped their perhaps less inviting
surroundings ?" That's the point

Some one very pertinently asks
when and where and how was it that
"Stod" Bates did not coordinate :?
This paper recalls quite distinctly
that the Springfield Reporter attack
ed Bates very savagely during the
campaign last sumsner and demanded
of the road commissioner reply, ot
fering its columns to Mr. Bates. 1t
is rumored that Mr.. Bates did reply,
and that the Reporter never printed
the reply nor intimated that he had
received one. Outside indications are
that Bates coordinated with the Re-
porter and that the Springfield con-
temporary did not coordinate with
Mr.. Bates in giving it's readers the
truth. The Reporter intimated that
Mr.. Bates had Disseminated against
that town and Windsor county, but
one who has studied the last report
Of Commissioner Bates and also look
ed at records in his Office. is convinced
that such is not the case. In fact,
the more one investigates facts and
figures the less critical he becomes
of Bates and his department. There
is too much "loose talking, about
the administration of our highway
department, and apparently Governor
Hardness himself is one of that class.
Has Governor Hardness ever studied
the departments work? Does he
know the facts? We venture the
guess that he has held himself aloof
from the Office and department.
