I've known so many who weren't I've
been rather cynical about them"
Pan smiled up at him.
Il know-your mouth used to bother
me, is was so cynical while your eyes
were 80 kindly. But either it's changed
or I'm used to it. 1t seems as charm

when you smile"
Perhaps you've changed it by Civ

lusions," George said. DO you know
Pan, that l haven't kissed you yet, and
I've been fairly"
But whatever yearning he did not
express in words, he told her by his
kiss, it held so much love and tender
ness and longing that Pan was almost
frightened, and felt again as though
she might cry. But that seemed so
silly-though she knew she would cry
from happiness, and people often did
so. George would think her silly-she
drew away, conscious that his fingers
had clasped her arm so tightly when

somehow glad of it.

And she held his hand for an in
slant against her cheek.
Il do love you so much, he repeated
And would have kissed her again but
she drew back.
No. wait a moment. I'll have to

Drowned.
Hartford Courant.)

Drowning may form as painless an
exit from miserable and naughty world
as most forms of death but none, save
those who are tired of living, care to eX-
perlence the sensations; yet drownings
figure in the New England papers sur
prisingly in view of the fact that the
season so far has been cool.
Three boys We're drowned in a pond
in Waterford on Saturday evening, due,
it is conjectured, to their faith in a boat
of their own construction. 1t consisted of
framework of wood covered by tin and
sheet iron. 1t carried them so far from
the land, however, that when it sank they
were unable to swim ashore.
This tragedy, as has been said, oc-
CURED on Sunday evening. On Monday
afternoon Il woman and her infant son
were drowned in Lake Quinsigamond
near Worcester, Mass. when a canoe con
tanning them and the husband and father
overturned. The man was saved although
he was unconscious when taken from the
water. There are five drownings and the
sixth is reported from Cambridge. Two
men in a rowboat attempted to change
places and the boat overturned One was
saved and the other was drowned.
So, then, we have six drownings in
New England in a period of not far from
"A hours, perhaps shade less. There is
no especial moral except that those who
care for boats and canoes owe it to
themselves to secure some knowledge of
the management of such small craft.

THERMOMETERS ARE UNAFRAID.
State Praised by Dorothy Garfield
Fisher in Current Magazine

The chief difference between Vermont
erS and the people of other states, ac-
cording to this weeks article in the
series These United States, now running
in The Nation. is that the Others are all
afraid of something. while Il Vermonter
does not know the meaning of fear.
The article is written by Mrs. Dorothy
Garfield Fisher of Arlington, VT, author
Of The Bent Twig, The Brimming Cup
and other novels. and is the fourth num-
Der in The Nations series on the charac-
tertistics of various states. The preced-
ing articles on Kansas, Maryland and
Mississippi. have all been critically writ
ten. and at least one of them scathingly
hostile in tone; but Mrs. Fisher has por-
trayed Vermont with an elOquence and
charm which contrast strongly with the
earlier numbers.
Most people, at any rate most Ameri-
cans, she says, are afraid of poverty, or
social inferiority, or change, or politics
1T seems incredible, in our modern
world. so tormented with fears about its
safety that a whole stateful of people
have no ground for apprehension but it

the moral freedom of not dreading any
thing that he is hardly conscious of it.

the state. Mrs. Fisher says that the di-
rectness and freedom of speech in the
town meeting make it a nearly ideal

The article concludes:
Every foot of the land on which we
live was held for us by the courage
Of our tall, lean. ironic grandfathers and
by their candid faith in the inherent

Blue Laws.
est. AIbans Messenger. }

ttNl- <AIbdilS A1eSSenSeF.j
The blue laws were in full force in
Newport last Sunday, it being impossible
to buy even a Sunday newspaper in a
store. The "reformers'a have the whip
hand in Newport. but it is reported that
the word has been passed around that
the city, under the present regime. is a
good place to keep away fron.-Mont-
pelier Argus.
One can expect with assurance that at
least one town or city in the state each
year will furnish story about the en-
forcing of the so-called "blue laws" the
almost inevitable outcome of which is
that the community indulging in this dis
play of high morality becomes more or
less of a joke with the rest of the state.
The law is great and mighty, but it is
well to remember that there Is one law
greater than any on the statute book, and
that is the real will of the people This
superior law over-rides all others, and
when statute law conflicts it goes by
She board except now and then when for a
brief time it may be invoked But il is
principle of political science that a
statute which is not respected by the peo-
pie will be ignored in the end by law en-
forcing officers as well as by the public.
Hence the impossibility to reform a peo-
pie by statute
The idea that it is wrong to read a
newspaper on Sunday, or to make the
purchase so that one may read it. is
highly foolish and nothing else The
reading public will not tolerate such a
legahstic viewpoint, and attempts to- en-
force such statutes will cause their re-
peal once the people have the oppor-
tunity.
No one wants to see the so-called Con-
tinental Sunday become common in Yer
mont. We don't even want the western
conception of Sunday. But certain it will
be, if some of these short-sighted reform
crs remain on the job, that Sunday will
be liberalized in Il way that will give
them the shivcrs. The majority will not
allow themselves to be suppressed by a
handful of these over-righteous people
It would be impossible to try to make
the modern Vermonter live under the
conditions that ruled the Sabbath in
Puritan days. His viewpoint has
changed materially and he cannot see
that he is serving God by denying him
self rational pleasure on Sunday. or in
jndulging in those things which re-create
his mind and body for the strenuousness
of the weekdays labor

Gates of so-called permanent roads are

Bx Associated Press

Columbus, Ohio, October 1.-THE
short ballot, because intelligent vot-

Supreme Court Justice John H.
Clarke of Youngstown, in an address
tonight.
The principle OF the League OF Ma

casually alluded to by him. He said
he expected at some future date to

In his future address on the League

he expected to describe the work the
present league lis doing for the peace
and justice, for the morality and
health, and commerce of the world
during the past two years, and then
to contrast this work of the league,
