EDITORIAL
WHO WERE THEY?

The Burlington Free Press of
June earned the following des-
patch:
GRAND ISLE, June Give
prominent men from Boston We're
held up at the Grand Isle bridge
Sunday afternoon by Customs In
spector Henry Ladd of Alburg and
ten quarts of whiskey and one
quart of wine seized. The men
made arrangements to appear in
court at st. Adams.
We are moved to inquire who
these five prominent Bostonians
were and just why their names
should be suppressed. They viol-
ated the United States Statutes
but their alleged social standing is
used as cover to keep their
names out of print. Every day
men are hailed into our municipal
courts and their names and their
otfense are given publicity that
IS accorded all court cases. These
men have no pull" with the au-
thorities and are not prominent
enough to be known as anony-
nous law breakers.
Perhaps the st. Adams Messen-
ger will give the desired infolma-
ton as their former editor, now
the able Congressman from the
First district, always followed the
rule that news is news and made
no exception in reporting court
cases

Better Marksmen Wanted

Wild shooting characterized the
attempt of customs officers in
Canaan to stop a rum running car
one woman escaping bv inches in a
house near by and an innocent by
stander being badly hurt. Shooting
at occupants of a motor car is
nearly always ineffective. A bullet
through a tire or gas tank is much
more sensible. incidentally, too the
affair suggests the fact that people
who intend to shoot ought at least
to become sufficiently expert to
confine the fire to the open street
and to avoid penetrating boudoirs
and peaceful tenementS alongside.

THE FIRST DAY OF JUNE

Gods out-of-doors is all in tune
The first of June,
The birds among the blossoms
sing
The joys of spring,
And brooks laugh out;
And breezes shout,
And voices call, and glad bees hum
That summers come.
A thousand perfumes fill the air
With fragrance rare,
From field and meadow, weed and
hill
We feel the thrill
OF growing things,
OF flashing wings;
And DER all hearts hopes flowers
ers are streWn
The first of June.
Gay dandelions star the sod,
Bright smiles from God
Along life's dusty common ways,
To fill our days
With golden thoughts;
While in their cots
The baby birds sing all in tune,
The first of June.

CONGRESS To HAVE
WEARY|NG SUMMER
SESSION DEALING WITH The
TARIFF AND BONUS SURE TO
BE WARM IN TWO WAYS.
ExAGGERATl0N OF DEBATERS
Their extravaoant Statements Con-
corning the Customs Measure Lead
One to Doubt the Existence Of
Statesmanship In Either House.
BY EpWsRD 8. CLARK

Observation-Disclosures has settled
down with a surface cheerfulness to
an all-summer session of the tariff,
warm session likely in more than
one meaning of the adjective. At the
present moment bonus is marching
companion of the tariff, If the pace
at which the customs measure is pro-
ceeding can be called a march. Later
the tariff must 20 IL alone.
II is asked frequently If there are
statesmen in Washington. Every mem
Der Of congress if asked the question
probably modestly would decline to
answer. The majority of the people
must judge as to the statesmanlike
qualities of their representatives and
senators In congress, and, for that
matter, of their President and his
cabinet officers. Sometimes ii is hard
for one to believe that there can be
anything like craftsmanship in either
house when he is compelled TO listen
to certain utterances which come from
the neighborhOod of this seat or that
seat.
For instance, the tariff measure has
been pronounced by some of its spon-
sors to be the greatest economic lib
orator Of a people which ever was
framed or conceived by man. Some
opponents of the tariff measure have
declared il to be descriptive of Amer
lean economic conditions, the last
word of appeal for the humiliation
of all that Americans commercially
hold dear.
When you get expressions like these
from leaders on the one hand and on
the other, is it possible that there can
be lurking belief in anybody's mind
that craftsmanship exists anywhere
under the dome Of the capitol Of the
United States?
No One Believes This Extravaganee.
1t is not probable at all that any
Republican believes the tariff measure
Is a proposed legislative enactment
second only In Importance to the
American people to the Declaration Of
Independence. Neither is ii probable
at all that any Democrat who stands
opposed to the bill believes IL Will dy-
Mantle American commercial institu-
lions out of existence and bring TO
this country condition of something
like that which today exists in Eu-
rope.
Some congressman do not put in
much time at the thinking job. Any
even near statesman probably realizes
that the extravagances of expression
which have been used by both sides
In connection with the tariff bill sim
ply will appear ridiculous to humor-
loving Americans. When a senator or
a representative breaks loose he knows
no restraint, save in rare instances.
for admission must be made that there
are a few men in the employment of
the people of the United States who
can deal In words of moderation and
yet of strength and who do not find it

Jefferson Davis and other southern
statesmen, until that time loyal to the
flag Of the Union. In the room Pres
ident Lincoln drafted his emancipa-
ton proclamation, and In II President
Mckinley spent the entire night fol
lowing the destruction of the Maine
In Havana harbor thinking ON the aw
fitness Of war and withstanding the
urgings that II should begin at once.
Now Used az a Study.
This room on the second floor has
been used largely as a study and
library by Presidents since the time
that Theodore Roosevelt entered the
White House. Most of the recent
messages which have been sent to con-
gress on minor and major subjects
were written In tie second-story Of
the executive mansion proper. II was
the room In the old days In which for
eign ambassadors were received by
the President when charged with mes
sages of moment. There Lincoln and
his secretary Of state and the British
ambassador passed twelve hours Of
one day and twelve hours OF another
In consultation, and at times In con-
troversy, following the receipt OF the
news that the Confederate commits
sioners Mason and Slidell had been
taken from the British ship Trent on
the high seas and had been made pris-
oners of the United States.
When the office wing Of the White
House was built the study and office
room became study only. II Is there
that the President passes his evenings,
and 1t is there that he receives callers
whose errands are Of such a nature
that they do not care to go publicly In
the daylight hours to the room adJoin-
ing the cabinet room In the office an
mex. The books on the shelves have
changed with each incoming admin
istration, and they have revealed the
reading procliyties Of the incumbent
Of Office. The oldest employee OF the
White House says that Lincoln had
many books Of poetry on the shelves;
that Grant had few books, but that
those which he had were Of the best.
Arthur cared little for books. Cleve-
land had them in numbers, and read
much more than he has been given
credit for reading.
Rooseveit's Circulating Library.
When President Roosevelt was In
the White House the study was In ma
ture that of a circulating library. He
had books upon all kinds of subjects,
although nature books and hunting
books predominated. 1t is said, how
ever. that there was not a book on
fishing In the whole collection, for
Mr.. Roosevelt liked every other kind
Of outdoor sport, hut never went fish
