high attitudes, lofty mountains,
and picturesque plateaus. Anyhow,
little old Vermont rather suffered
in comparison he drew. However,
in the Doctors estimation his ma
tive State seemed partially TO have
redeemed herself for any short
comings in the line of scenic grand
eurs by producing such celebrated
prophets Of new dispensation as
Joseph Smith andBrigham Young.
1.-TWO great leaders," he called
them, "who built TN empire out
there that in many ways we ought
to be proud Of"
"Vermonters Of an older genera
ton are today to be found in the
great west" ne added. "They were
the pioneers, endowed with that
spirit of conQuering the wilderness
that carried their names for and
wide. They We're pioneers in the es-
tablishment of great industries. 1t
is not generally known in the East,
perhaps, that there are more col
lege graduates among the Nor
mon people per canita than any
where else in the country. They
are lovers Of art and music-their
great organ bears witness 10 that
fact. This development of a great
country has been due to tie spirit
that was carried from the granite
hills of Vermont"
By way Of prophecy, DR.. Ball
spoke then of the return tendencies
back eastward. Vermont is going
10 come back to her own" he said,
"and New England IS going to
come back to her own. There are
no more empires with new soil to
be broken up, and the result IS
that this nation, if it is goino to
continue to increase rs it has dozen
must be turning backward toward
the east and reorganizing our agri-
cultural and food products. Then
old Vermont will again, along with
other New England states, return
to abundant agricultural product
ivity. 1t is my belief that the whole
country is on the eve of the great
est development we have ever
had"
Every glad to hear from DR..
Ball." asserted the POSTMASTER.
Then (dryly): Owe Vermonters
rather ike to put over against
Joseph Smith and BRIGHAM Young
such men as George F. Edmunds.
We think he did some ~retty
good things for the country"
