HE WASN'T IN THE
GAME AT ALL

The other day in Evansville, Ind,
drummer committed suicide and
had no better reason for his rash act
thanthat given in note he left on
the table, in which he curtly stated
that he was tired of the game. He
was bachelor in good circumstances
and good health, and his accounts
with his house were all right. The
Cleveland Press does some sound
moralizing on the case of this bach
elor suicide and from it we take the
following:
!, Tired of the game? Why he
wasn't in the game at all! Living
for oneself, enjoying oneself, wan
'dering about by oneself aren't the
game. Forty-five years old, and
only himself to work for, do for, live
for! No wonder he was tired, but
that is no more being in the game
than buying bag of peanuts at the
tent entrance is seeing the circus.
The game is doing things for others,
not caring for self only. The game
is having a home, not a chair in
some clubroom. The game is hav-
ing wife and children in ones heart,
not in having safety of travel and
high living in ones heart. The poor
devil was simply looking at the game.
He was merely peeping over the
shoulders of players at the chess
board of life, without knowing what
pawn" could do to king" or
a "castle" to knight" without
having cent or heart throb OF
his own at stake.
Tired Of course he was tired.
He was tired because he was out OF
the game. He whose sole care is self
must be loser, finally. 1t is the
law of the game of life. ut is not
we'll that man should live alone. ;"
For man to live alone, for himself,
within himself, is fatal. Such one
has had no mission worth while.
Such a one is dead before he uses
the pistol. Such one has not got
into the. game.

serve provisions, in order to furnish
quick relief to any community.
One regional bank cannot again pay
out the notes of another, except un-
der a heavy tax. These notes are
expected to return to the regional
banks and be withdrawn from cir
culation when the need for their
use passes.
None of the existing forms of pa
per currency will be disturbed by the
new law. Provision is made, how
ever, that the government two per
cent bonds, upon which national
banks now secure the issue Of their
"bank notes." may be purchased by
the government at par, through the
regional banks. This provision is
expected to result in the gradual re-
tirement of most of the national bank
currency.
The federal reserve board will ex-
ercise final control over the entire
operation of the system. 1t can com
pei one regional bank to loan to an
other in time of need; can authorize
banks to use the treasury notes or
even national banks notes as part of
! their legal reserves; can suspend all
restrictions surrounding the reserves
which regional banks must hold; and
can remove directors of regional re-
serve banks whenever it is believed
necessary.
| While the banks retain control of
the boards of the regional reserve
banks, their connection with the fed
eral reserve board is only through an
advisory council, made up of one rep
resentative from each federal re-
serve district. This council will
meet in Washington, to confer with
the federal reserve board "on gem
eral business conditions" and to
make recommendation and sugges-
tions concerning discount rates, note
issues and reserve conditions.

MUST WAIT TO SEE
HOW IT WORKS

We publish communication to-
day from our friend Tax Commission
er John S.. Edwards with reference
to the recent order of the commission
directing tax assessors in this State
to assess property at it's true cash
value. 1t is interesting and instruc-'
tive reading on very important sub
ject vitally affecting the pocket nerve
of every taxpayer, and as Mr.. Ed
wards speaks with very full knowl-
edge of the matter his views will re-
ceive careful consideration
The Telegram recently had brief
paragraph referring to the order of
the commission, and Mr.. Edwards
has enormously construed that para
graph as definite expression Of
opinion on our part that the order
was not founded in good policy or
good judgment. We merely said in
SuDSJduCe ludI ~ WOulu NC ulAiCuiI
to enforce it, as taxpayers, nearly
always kickers and quibblers in the
assessment of their property, had
been so long accustomed to a low
rate of valuation that their attitude
would make it difficult to carry out
the new ruling for a true cash as
sessment. Mr.. Edwards will doubt
less concede that this is. true, and
that was as far as we went.
We feel sure that the commission
ers have performed their difficult
task guided by their best judgment
and conscience and that they have
tried faithfully to remedy certain no
torious defects in our assessment sys-
TEN and to equalize as far as possi-
BILE the burden of taxation. We give
them full credit in this direction and
we trust that their work will be
found to have provided the needed
remedy. But until that remedy has
been actually tried we will not know
If it is success, and we can only
wait to find out.

If the gold reserve behind the notes
falls below 40 per cent, a heavy tax
is imposed on the bank, which in

A COOP BOOST FOR VERMONT.

Vermont makes an ideal location for
one of the four military camps which
the United States government proposes
to establish next summer, and the an
nouncement that it has, been decided to
locate the camp near Lake Champlain,
probably near Burlington, is very pleas
ing to the people of the state because
of the recognition which it brings. The
system of student military camps is yet
in the experiments of its beginning, and
inst what the results will prove to be
is still matter of conjecture; but it is
known that the establishing of one of
the camps on the eastern shore of Lake
Champlain will bring into Vermont for
several weeks, perhaps two months or
more, as many as thousand young
men from many sections of the north
eastern territory of the United States
and that this incoming will be assured
for each summer so long as the system
is maintained or Vermont is able to
prove the advantages of sites. The bene-
fits to be derived from this close asso-
citation with Vermont are so many that
they need not be enumerated at this
time; some of the benefits will be evil
dent to nearly everyone who considers
the possibilities arising from recognition
from the war department. At the same
time there will be no drawbacks to Yer
mont in having this camp; it win be
all gain. Hence the state is-to be con-
graduated, and in extending these CON
gratulations it should be time also for
thanking those who have interested
themselves in the proposal to have Yer
mont selected as camp site, among
whom is Congressman Frank L. Greene
of the first Vermont district, who per-
haps started the Vermont movement and
aroused the people at home in the enter
prise.

CURRENT COMMENT
Let Us Have Sense!

When you stop to think of it, where is
the common sense in the assumption by
the United States that il is the sole
arbiter of affairs on this continentl Put
it another way, why should not Brazil
and the Argentine, and perhaps other
populous and well-governed South Amer
lean states, share with us the respon-
sibility of deciding Mexico's future?
The idea that we are the only nation
of any consequence on this hemisphere
is exceedingly narrow and parochial. 1t
reveals its possessor as untravelled, un-
versed in the geography of the day, and
unfamiliar with the logic of world
events. In the time of Monroe the more
conservative powers of Europe looked
on countries of this hemisphere as the
average householder would on a group
of careless children, bereft of natural
guardians, and incapable of taking care
of their inheritance. The United States,
as the elder child, was regarded as only
approximating the status of manhood
or of nationhood. And in promulgating
the Monroe doctrine our forebears meant
to say that this elder child would have
an eye on the younger ones in the Amer
lean family, to save them from spoila-
ton. Nearly century has passed.
Some of these younger children have
grown up. They are surely self-asser
tive and peculiarly sensitive. They re-
sent the notion not only that we stand
over them in loco PARENTS, but that we
have the solo guardianship of such other
members of the family as remain inca
pable of self-defense.
The United States, as everybody
knows, is a great and powerful nation,
but because of that it should not go
through the world needless of the rights
and interests of other nations. What
should we have said Is years ago, if
Japan decreeing herself dominant
Asiatie power, had refused to consent
to the transfer of the Philippines from
Spain to the United States? Yet we
should clearly object to similar trans
fer in this hemisphere, especially to
one of the larger powers, like Great
Britain.
How long can we assert one theory
in this hemisphere and another theory
elsewhere? How long can we maintain
our claim to exclusive authority on this
continent, as against other powerful peo-
pies heref Aside from the question of
our ability in the premises, there comes
the practical question of business ex-
pedieney Our trade with the countries
to the south of us is doubtless greatly
influenced by the feeling of the peoples
toward US.
The Monroe doctrine has served
great and useful purpose. It can still
be made an agency of good. But it must
be modified to accord with the spirit of
the times. and the best rule by which
this can be done is the old rule of COM
mon sense.-Boston Herald

Judge" Albert NJ. Albee, aged 02, of
Bellows Falls is pointed out by the
Boston Transcript as an example OF
longevity. Why, he's not aged; he's
just got through practicing law and is
enjoying well-earned rest. Here in
Vermont a person must be at least 100
years old to be deserving of the title
of aged. And we have had preachers
who, even at the century mark, have
gone into the pulpit and exhorted their
hearers with much Of the vim of former
years. Nevertheless, Judge Albee is
to be felicitated on advancing in years
and keeping cheerful over it.

a lettering influence on celebrations of
Halloween wherever the news of the
outcome may spread. 1t has been con-
sidered for some time that the celebra-

too lawless conditions, and we trust that
the above mentioned warning will serve
