received . letter from . relative In
Arkansas who remarked that he had
been reading some OF the telegraph
reports upon Colorado and had reach
ed the conclusion that Canon among
other nlaces In the state, was snow
bound.
That same day the Rocky Mountain
News had q fash head across Its first
page telling of the horrible snow
storm and blizzard that was raging in
Colorado and throughout tho east,
simultaneously the Daily Record
chronicled that.a party OF high school
pupils were picnicking on the Sky
line drive. Funny. isn't 1t.
During the last big snow storm
when almost every other section of
Colorado was envcloped in a binding
snow. and the people shivered from
the cold. Canon, ~ usual, was bask-
in sunshine. its Inhabitants sitting on
the front porches and walking the
streets without their winter wraps.

about il which carried an infection Of

pie had seen him much for seven years

parted on years hunting trip in Africa
and we're full Of good wishes for his safe
return. Now al along his course to the
hunting grounds he is being received
with unboundcd eclat, the Italians giving
him the greatest welcome thus far and
convincing him. as he stated, that the
Italians can make noise as well as Amer
leans. 1t only needs a touch Of the
Roosevelt presence to set them of into
eestacies Of excitement. The Italians
have thus shown themselves TO be much
like Americans in this respect.

NATIONAL euAKp ENLIsrMENTs.

NAliDNAL dJAhD I'm l<ie AtHAN 4 ?
The possibility that Mortified may
lose its representation in the Vermont
National Guard calls attention to the
strained requirements which are present
cd now to secure place in the volunteer
soldiery. In referring to the matter, the
Mortified News states that the require
ments include these, that every one Of
the individual soldiers must be Of good
social standing in his community, OF high
intellectual ability. as wen as OF strong
physique" With the latter requirement
there can be no fault found, as It's inter-
probation admits Of no doubts a strong
physique Is absolutely essential to the
business Of soldering. business which
our volunteers may be called upon to
perform. The candidates for the various
companies should be subjected to rigid
bodily examination before they are adj
mitted to membership, and we suppose
that the requirement is lived up TO in the
Vermont National Guard
Regarding the other two stipuIations,
however, there is some question, because
Of the varied Interpretation which may
be attached to them. # to be Of good
social standing ii the community means
that the candidate for military position
shall be Of certain grade or class in
the town, then the requirement is foolish
in the extreme. Again, IL it means that
he must have maintained himself with
the proper deeorum and has not a Grim
inal record, the requirement is well-mean-
ing enough; bet whatever Interpretation
is put on good social standing" the
requirement is hardly necessary. Like
wise with the requirement that mem.
Der of the militia shall Be Of thigh intel
lectual ability The work Of the pri-
vate in the ranks does not presuppose a
keen mentality or mind capable Of
working ont plan Of campaign, how
EVER much that quality might be desired;
1t is left for the few, the officers, TO do
that, and for the privates to follow out
the plans under guidance. Take the
regular armyi how many Of the privates
Would rank as Of @high intellectual
ability"2 And how many regulars would
pass the testg Comparatively few, I'M
deed But here we are demanding the
almost Impossible Of our citizen soldiery.
The fact is, that we are straining over
much il this matter Of enlistment in the
National Guard Give us plain, everyday
sort Of fellows Of deceney without regard
70 social standing and high intellectual
ability and hold them to strict require
ments Of military training, and the re-
suits viii be more satisfactory in the

Tar Reforms in Vermont.
