A Timely Warming.

The Burlington Free Press states
the matter Enthusiastically and with
out any unnecessary frills when it
says:
1t will be strictly necessary for
the republicans of Vermont to take
a pronounced stand for some definite
principles, and convince the people
that they propose to carry them out
more carefully than formerly, or
the people of the state will be
tempted to kick them out of power.
When men elected as republicans
can stand up in their places and as
sert that they are not bound by the
party pledge, it's high time the par
ty took steps to show that it is not
mere name. = The in
terests of the people of the COM
munity and state as whole are

The .GoVernorship.

The Rutland News sums up the
gubernatorial situation as follows:
Mr.. Fletcher is actively in the
field and is the recipient of crafty
ing encouragement to make an ag-
gressive campaign.
Mr.. Slack, while less actively in
evidence as a candidate is in assur-
ance of enough support to guaran-
tee him full standing as a contest
ant.
Mr.. DeBoer is exemplifying that
quality of receptiveness which Dor
ders near enough upon aggressive
activity to make him not only an
important factor, but possibly the
pivot upon which the convention
procedure will turn.
This summary has this virtue, it
does not suit or agree with the
claims made by the friends of any
of the candidates. We are willing
to wait until the contest is actively
opened to- learn how accurate it
really is. &i-'').

20 COLLEGES PROMISE.
VIII Send Representatives to Inau-
guration of Pres. Benton.


Fortynine colleges have already
accepted the invitation to send re-
personalities to the inauguration of
President Guy Potter Benton of the
University of Vermont In the ma
jority of cases the representative
will be the president of the institu-
ton. In a few cases some other
member of the faculty or distin-
guished alumnus will be sent Many
of the colleges invited have not yet
reported because the president of the
institution is away for vacation. No
doubt the number of colleges repre-
scented will be much larger when all
have had an opportunity to reply.
Many other distinguished men
will come either as individuals or
representatives of institutions other
than colleges. It means great
deal to the state of Vermont to
have such an assemblage of men
here as will gather on that occasion.
1t should be inspiring to students
and to Vermonters generally to come
into contact with these men, even
for a day or two. The names of the
colleges which have already accept
ed follow:

Railroad Accidents.

We are often reminded in lugubri-
Gus statistics and heated orations
that American railroads are pecul-
iarly deadly to their passengers.
We are told of the superior safety
of European travel; and not infre-
quently we are told that drastic gov
eminent supervision or even govern
ment ownership is necessary to put
an end to the slaughter of passen-
gers by the steel highways of Am
erica.
The contrast between American
and European railroading is just a
shade more than half true. The de-
auctions from it are not true at all.
TWo-fifths of the American railroads
have as good a record as the rail-
roads of Europe in the matter of
safety-and an infinitely better re-
cord in most things.
There is one American railroad
syetem which comprises 1890 miles
of rails. In the year 1910 it car
ried 49,491,000 passengers. Count
ing the average distance of the jour
ney, this was equivalent to carrying
3O,000,0OO passengers one
mile each. It was almost exactly
ten per cent. Of the entire railroad
passenger traffic of the United
States. Yet in 1910 this system did
not cost the life of a single passen-
ger.
This, mark you, was achieved IN
der american condition."

jections of the senate, as he under
stands them, are, that the creation
of a joint high commission with
either party given power to refer
any dispute to arbitration for a
year would be a breeder of war;
that he-senate cannot agree to

seonseitution (which it is forbidden to
delegate; tbatJthe Monroe Doctrine,
the right to exclude certain for
eignersh or the question of the val
idity of the Southern bonds might
be submitted to arbitration.
The presidents reply to these OBJ
jections is that arbitration is so
cumbersome that. no question that
can be settled in the regular chan
nels of diplomacy will be referred
to it; that congress has already made
treaties in which certain questions
that may arise may be referred to
arbitration therefore it can agree to
submit more. questions to arbitra-
ton; that the Monroe Doctrine is
already an established national pol
icy and therefore not subject to ar
bitration; that it rs principle of
International law that a nation may
decide for itself, who shall and shall
not be admitted within it's bounds;
and that the treaty is to affect only
questions arising in the future and
could not be applied to the validity
of southern bonds, a question that
arose some years ago.
The arguments of the president
seem unanswerable and we fail to
see how the senate can justify it sop
position to the treaties. The presi-
dent has acted in accordance with
modern ideas and demands and the
senate cannot satisfy the country
with its traditions when it is de-
handing real reform in the inter-
ests of international peace. The
president will grow in this contest
while the senate will wane unless
it changes it's policy.

1t is an interesting product of the

work is done with commendable &C
