VERY MUCH AWAKE.

There may. have been time when
the residents Of small country town
or a farming district took little or no
interest in affairs outside of their
own local community, other than to
vote their straight party tickets at
election time. .~.
But that time is not now. It has
not been for years. -. 49,
The. man behind the c$unter or
the pillow is Just as vitality interested
in state and national affairs asl is his
cousin in the great city.
The foreign news is just as care
fully scanned from day to day, and
the field of research and invention
is religiously scrutinized.
There is little that transpires in
the world of affairs that is not
known and understood by the man in
his rural home, for it Isl through his
constant search for advanced
knowledge of Il practical nature that
he is enabled to keep pace with the
swiftly moving tides of life.
If just comparison could be made
it is probable that, man. for man, the
person in the country town or on the
farm would be found to be better
posted on the affairs of the world in
general than the average dweller of
any Of the great cities.

WITH MANS APPROVAL.

- All honor to the mayor of Boston,
the birthplace of culture and the
home of beans.
His Honor has approved the wear
ing of knikerbockers in daily life by
the women OF his city, and there is
not gasp. He sees in this innovation
greater freedom; of movement, in
creased health and degree of
feminine modesty superior to that of
the present mode of dress.
And possibly he is right. 49,
Women are always harnpered in
their movements by trailing or
clinging skirts, and especially is this
SO by those who earn their daily
bread. Skirts are hot in summer and
unsanitary at all times. They are a
nuisance and an ever increasing
source of expense. There is no reason
why they should not be sidetracted~ in
favor of garments that are more
sane, sensible and economical in
every way.

THE SIMPLE LIFE.

Simple living Is not so much an
economic question es it is a, moral
question, the morality part relating to
the duty one owes to himself and
others to keep himself well in body,
soul and mind. That Is the object
Of simple living-not to save money,
says the Ohio State Journal. The idea
is to make q persons brain clear and
clean, so he will think clear thoughts
and take to clean living. A brain that
is blackened by rich and luxurious liv-
ing is very apt to be clogged with pas
sions and prejudices, with seldshness
and sordidness. Not always, Of course,
but that is the tendency. A person
can contaminate a great portion Of his
spirit and come mighty near destroying
his faith in God, by eating all sorts of
rich and expensive foods. You may
take boy and feed him on luxurious
and seasoned diet, and his future des-
tiny is collapsed. OF course, some peo-
pie will turn with ridicule On the idea,
and describe simple living as boiled
turnip and glass Of water, but
simple living means an appetite for
Simple things, that make for health,
work and q gentle spirit.

CHARACTER.

We are so apt to omit the charac-
ter Of man in our estimate Of his
fitness for some important duty, and
to regard his skill or knowledge in
some special line Of work as the test
of his efficiency. This won't work.
Character is the first thing to be con-
sidered. Proficiency in any direction
will not supplant the actual need of
the inmost truth Of mans life, his
makeup, his personality, his trend, his
tone, his impulse. These constitute
the character of a man-something far
above his special qualifications. In
fact, man may be a person of no
character at all, and at the same
time be proficient in whatever duty
is assigned to him; but his character
goes with his work and in the end
will show exactly what it is. In the
final analysis, q mans work will not
rise above his character. Elect q
man to Office who is an able and
skillfuF man, but whose character is
below par, and the. whole community
will feel the depression Of his charac.
ter and that depression will last for
years. And so everywhere, in bust
ness, in school, in church, in politics.
the first thing to consider in the Sc
lection Of man for duty is his char
acter, his personality.

DR.. Woods Hutchinson points out in
an article in the Cosmopolitan Maya
zine that 1t is in the Orient, with it's
peace and placidity and freedom from
hurry and hustle, that life is short.
The average Is nineteen to twenty-one
years In India, twenty-five to twenty
i've years in China, as compared with
thirty-six to ifty-six years for "west-
ern barbarians." Our forefathers lived
the simple life; but three centuries
ago European cities had a death rate
OF 90 to 80 per 1000. Today, in our
rushing American cities, we have the
lowest death rate in history, LIZ to

Dale-SenatOr Page May Resign

MONTPELIER, June considerable
political gossip has been aroused by the
report that Congressman Porter II.

line for a diplomatic appointment and
the possibility that i'll health may COM

The two leading candidates for the
vacancy are likely to be former Lieu

a similar position again will be candl-

pected to be between Messrs. Stone and

For many wears Mr.. Stone was state
superintendent of education and has a
wide acquaintance in every town in the
state. No man living probably knows
as many NermonterS as does Mr.. Stone.
He is a fluent public speaker and a good
mixer
Mr.. Martin is a farmer. president of

a good speaker and has a pleasing per

way.
Mr.. Stone is 81 years old and Mr.. Mar
tin is 40 A contest between these two
men would be spirited but good-natured
fight and it would be a difficult matter to
pick the winner.
For several years it has been predicted
that when Senator Page completed his
present term, Congressman Frank =.
Greene of the first district was quite likely
to be a formidable candidate for his seat.
Lately there have been rumors in cir
culation that in spite of the mountain
rule, which would take Senator Page s
successor from the west side of the Green
mountains. Governor HartnesS may enter
the contest. 1t is further limited that in
such an event ex-Gov. Allen NJ. Fletcher
of Cavendish may try again for senatorial
honorS.
Many of Mr.. Grecnes friends hope that
Senator Page viii not retire. Mr.. Greene
is now one of the prominent members OF
the house, a member of the Republican
steering committee and one of the infiuen-
tial members of the military affairs com
mittee. He is gaining much where he is
in experience and prestige. Unless some
thing unexpected occurs it is not only
probable that when an election for sena-
tor occurs Mr.. Greene viii be elected. but
that he will be chosen by q large majority

This committee, it has been learned

not consider that fines impose sufficient
punishment upon such men.
For violations of state antitrust laws

SIXTEEN NEGROES
ARRESTED IN RAID
Part of Armed Band Who
Had Warned Officers to
Keep Away.

DANV1LLE, Va, Oct. 3.-Sixteen
negroes have been placed in Hall
fax Jail following a raid made by
posse of Federal and State off,
GERS at News Ferry. where on Fri
day three raiding eff1cers were held
up by about a score of colored men
who warned the white men to
leave that section alone"
According to Sheriff Luther Rice,
dozen or more shots were fired
at the officers before they with
drew in the face of superior num-
bers. They had searched the house
of a negro for liquor and on reach
ing the public road found a group
of negroes, all armed, in a menac-
Ing mood. Another party of armed
negroes next swarmed out of a
nearby house and with leveled shot
guns called on the officers to leave
The following day an augmented
white posse went into the section
and the negroes, some of whom
were = identified, were arrested
without difficulty.
According to the officers, William
Woody, a negro. is leader of the
movement against the officers ant
he is in jail.
