' Charles Douglas Watson, who has been nominated by the Democratic party for governor of Vermont, -was born In 8t. Albans, Vt., July 29. 1S60. He is a lawyer and one of the leading members of the Vermont bar association. He studied for three years at the University of Vermont and graduated from the law school of Boston University in 1SS6. He haa been auditor of bid home county since 18&6 and has also been prominent in the affairs of the Vermont National Guard. In 190S he was elected to the legislature from St Albans and served on the judiciary committee of that year. He was candidate for Judge of the State supreme court and was defeated only by a few rotes. Early- in the present month he was nominated to head the Democratic ticket which will be voted for in the- State election in Vermont, which will be held early in September. What! Is claimed to be the largest and moat powerful windmill in Great Britain , haa just been completed at Wlllesden, where Its capacity Is being tried under varying conditions. It la Intended for a farm near Bristol, its use there being to generate electricity, aupply power to run crushing machinery and work the pumps. From the trials made It la said this new wind machine Is eapeble of generating sufficient electricity for three hundred lights, to crush oata and grind malse, work an electric lift, cook the food and heat a room at a cost of VA a unit.

The Water works Proposal The announcement of the willingness of the Water Works Company, as published In last night's Palladium, to enter Into a contract with the cltv. along lines which have on their face the earmarks of a modern

franchise. Is very significant. Of the plan Itself, Involving fixing a present valuation at which the plant can be bought at any time during the life of the franchise and the division of earnings above six per cent, the general outlines are satisfactory and familiar to the readers of the paper already. They have marked our policy from the beginning of the discussion. At this time it is next to Impossible to talk about the matter because the contract has not yet been submitted. There is as much difference between a plan and a contract aa there Is between a plan "and a building. One thing, however, can be said, that this plan, if carried out, destroys the most obnoxious feature of the private ownership of public service corporations: namely, that of the unearned increase of the value of the plant due solely to the natural growth, of the city over which the corporation has no control but obviously reaps the benefit. Following the same line the plan destroys what are sometimes called "monopoly taies" of the public service corporations In private hands. This simply means that the question of water rates is removed from the hands of the corporation to the extent that the stockholders are granted and guaranteed an income (practically fixed) on their investment no more. The surplus naturally goes to the city. It is then up to the city as to whether or not it should decrease the water rates or its taxes because they would amount to the same thing. There is no doubt that the question of rates is the only one which vitally affects the community, otherwise, as we have contended since the very beginning of this Water Works question or any public utility measure, it means the putting of the poer of taxation into private hands for private end. The outline of the plan will,be found practically identical with our position all the way through on every public service question. The thing which confronts the people then Is to realize that the Water Vorks is apparently showing a disposition to meet them on thsir own grounds; that while the safeguards to insure the working of the plan must be looked over and scrutinized to the fullest extent, there has been no time since the beginning of negotiations when the most vital question which confronts this city has ever been in such a fair way toward a solution. Modifications and safeguards there probably must be, but if the city can get a modern contract along these lines it will mean to us who have contended without faltering for these principles since the very beginning that the whole public service business in Richmond will eventually be worked out for the benefit of the citizens. Aa to the actual safeguards, those can only be talked over when the terms of the contract are submitted to the Board of Public Works and the public. ,

Items Gathered In From Far and Near Back Yards. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. What do you raise in your back yard? Weeds or flowers? Rubbish heaps or vegetables? Is it any use to you except as a place to dry the family washing? Are you ashamed of it? Do you take your friends out through the kitchen to Bee it? No offense meant. These questions are impersonal, and are merely intended to lead up to the remark that a Cleveland citizen has. In a back yard the size of the office he works 'In, twenty-four varieties of flowers and they're nearly all In bloom at this moment. Besides he has had all summer more onions, lettuce and radishes than his family could use. Another desirable citizen has a back yard about thirty-five by fifty feet with a border of flowers and Bhrubs, several vegetable beds at the end, and room enough for the children to play in. There's joy o' mornings In the early brightness and fragrance of sweet peas, morning glories, marigolds, cannas, nasturtiums, corylopsls and all their floral . sisterhood, and there's pleasure when the day's work is done In the cool green of a back yard lawn. And the vegetables from one's own garden have a flavor not to be found in green goods from the grocer's. There's the Joy, too, of delving in one's own ground of planting and coddling and trimming one's own plants, of doing a little creative work in co-operation with friendly nature. Have you never felt this Joy of making things grow? Do you know the balm for tired nerves or mournful hearts that lurks ln"mere dirt? Cleveland is a city of homes and by the same token a city of backyards. The yards are full of opportunities. If you have never learned the potency of spades, hoes rakes and seeds, look across the back yard fence and see what your neighbor has done. If his lot is as bare and unsightly as yours you are both to be pitied. These-little neglected spots might bloom as tho Garden of Eden. Center of Population. From the Indianapolis Star. The center of population under the new census will not, it is thought, be moved far from the present center. This is not because the population of the United States has not greatly increased, but because the bulk of the increase is not, as usual in the west. There has been a great addition to the number of Inhabitants in the southwest, especially In Texas, but on the other hand a large percentage of the immigrants who arrived during the last five years scattered themselves over the eastern states. Rhode Island's increase, for example, is ltf per cent. In every direction there is still room for more. A Place for Ex-Mayors. From the Providence Tribune. Whatever may be the case with the nation and Its ex-presldents. It would appear that Lawrence knows what to do with her mayors. At any rate she has put one of them in Jail. PROTECTED HOME CIRCLE. The Protected Home Circle, a fraternal insurance order of Sharon. Pa., with tver one million and a half of reserve, was the first level rate, monthly payment, reserve fund society to organize in this country. It is about to celebrate its twenty-fourth anniversary by initiating classes into its several circles on or before Aug. 15th. Fred Waking, who met his untimely death a few days ago. was a member of this order and his claim is 'now before the Executive Board for payment The order has the distinction of settling all claims promptly and In full. . More than 20.000 23, candle . power incandescent lamp filaments .can be made from a single pound of tantalum.

"No," replied Farmer Corntossel; "they jes' keep pikin along, buyin melons an such, that look good on the outside." A Word-Play With a Moral. "What actual difference do you see between a town that has local option and one that is wide open?" "The difference," replied the jocose prohibitionist, "is about this. One is neat and tidy and the other is tight and needy." Just July. Jes plain July the waitin time, With summer in its fadin' prime. The modest blossom hides away Beneath the weed that flaunts so gay; The bird is lazy in its song ' As time slow-footed slides along The days to come an' days gone by We praise; but this is jes' July. The burden of the growin shoot Is small for flower an' less for fruit. The ripenln' field looks up In vain An' begs a little springtime rain. We've sung of May and all the rest - Those months by wealth an beauty blessed. But now well, whut's the use to try? Fur this is only jes' July!

BIBLE QUESTIONS

July 29, 1910. (Copyright. 1910, by Rev. T. S. Lins cott, D. D.) A Lesson on Forgiveness. Matt xviii: 21-35. Golden Text IC you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. Matt. vl:14. Verses 21-22 What would be the result If an individual, or the community were to forgive injuries to those who have no regret for having done them? 0 Why it is the duty of every man to forgive injuries, when they are truly repented of? What is the limit, as to the number of times., we should, on repentance, forgive a person who has injured us? What should be our attitude to one who constantly does us injury and takes delight in doing so? What can you say, for or against the statement that the State should forgive crime on the principles here laid down by Jesus? What are the theoretical reasons for punishing criminals? What are the practical results of the present method of punishing crime (1) does it prevent crime? (2) does it reform the criminal? Verses 23-27 In what sense does Jesus use the phrase, "the kingdom of heaven," here? Who does this king here stand for, and how does his method of forgive ness represent God's method? What reason is there for us to sup-' pose that the sentence of this king, against hi3 unfaithful servant, would have been carried out if the servant had not cried out for mercy? If a sinner is truly sorry for his sins, and Is desirous of not repeating them, and prays to be forgiven, how much urging does God require before his prayer is granted? If this parable teaches the method and the conditions of God in forgiving a sinner, how can the parable be reconciled with the commercial theory of the atonement? When a sinner is fully forgiven, is he as innocent before God, as if he had never sinned? Give your reasons. Verses 28-30 What was the amount which the first servant had been forgiven, and what was the amount the second servant owed to the first, in our currency? What can you say for, or against, the opinion that a truly converted man could not act in this harsh manner? Can you cite any case of a professed Christian, acting in this harsh way, and how can you account for such action? Should a Christian debtor ever use at the law a debtor, when he knows he has nothing to pay with, and on getting judgment should he terrorize the debtor on every opportunity? Give your reasons. Verses Sl-34 Suppose at this stage; the hard-hearted servant had become tender, and repented, would the king have forgiven him again? What gave this king a right to re1 vlve a debt that had been, forgiven? Does it represent the law of Divine forgiveness? Verse 35 Why Is It not possible, under any circumstances, for one to enjoy the favor of God while he cherishes a grudge against his brother? (This question must be answered in writing by members of the club.) Lesson for Sunday, Aug. 7th, 1910 Jesus on the Way to Jerusalem. Mate xix:l-2, 13-2. The editor of the Raleigh News and Observer declares that if he ever gets rich he will endow a brass band and send it around the country to delight the children and old folk.

PLAK CO-OPERATION Associations of Bankers Suggested by Sec'y McVeagh to Be Formed. NEW YORK MEETING TODAY (American News Service.) New York,- Jly 20. The recent plea of Secretary of the Treasury McVeagh that bankers should form associations to ' prepare for taking out emergency currency in the event of such a situa tion demanding action bore its first fruits today when representatives of the national banks of the New York boroughs and of Long Island met in this city to perfect an organization such as is proposed by the secretary of the treasury and provided for in the Aldrich-Vreeland emergency currency act. The new organization will be known as the National Currency Association. Its by laws as drawn up by the committee Intrusted with that task, contain two important provisions that are expected to remove the objections to organizing which have existed heretofore. One of these provisions permits the withdrawal of a bank from membership in the association, with the permission ef the executive committee and the approval of the secretary of the treasury, provided the bank has no unredeemed currency outstanding. The other provision, which is local for its immediate purpose but general In its scope, permits the nine small banks of Long Island to become members of the association. This action Is Intended to establish a line of policy whereby In the formation of associations in other clearing house districts small banks will be taken care of. The treasury department recognizes that to be workable the law must be applied impartially, bence it has insisted in the case of the New York banks, that the small banks of Long Island should have equal rights of membership with the great banks of New York city. With this principle carried into effect throughout the country small depositors and customers will have equal protection with those of the great banking Institutions. It is understood that the organization of the currency associations will be welcomed also for the possible aid these associations may offer the problem of reforming the currency system. Most of the plans for fiscal reform contemplate the organization of groups of banks in various parts of the country. When these associations become general It Is believed they might not only
