Condition Alarming.

London, March 23.-The extreme
gravity Of the situation in Ulster was
clearly indicated when the British
government sent supplementary or.
ders to Gen. Paget, commanding the
troops in Ireland, that he exercise
every precaution to avoid provoking
the opponents of home rule to an
open outbreak.
With the entire force of Ulster vol.
unteers ordered to be prepared for
action, a signal is said to have been
agreed upon for the mobilization Of
forces. The signal will be the firing
of two-rocket bomb above the head
quarters in Belfast.
One Hundred Offices Resign.
The war office claimed to have no
knowledge of the reported wholesale
designations of Irish officers. It was
reported that an ultimatum was sent
the officers of the Curragh regiments.
They were told, II was reported, that
II they were not prepared to serve in
Ulster they might resign or be dis
missed with the forfeiture of pension.
One hundred officers are said to have
resigned.
1t is admitted that the situation at
Belfast is of the gravest concern to
the government. All Orangemen have
been ordered to be ready to arm and
mobilize at a moments notice.

The bulletin on the maple sugar in
dustry of Vermont just issued is one of
the most interesting and valuable
issues ever published from our agricul-
tural department. Walter H. Crockett
is the author. In the introduction
Commissioner Brigham says; "This
bulletin is issued for the two-fold
purpose of making known certain facts
regarding Vermont's most famous
products, sugar and SYRUP
and also to bring the producers and
consumers of these products in closer
touch with one another" The Monitor
is most enthusiastic over this bulletin
as it has been for years over the
possibilities of our maple product. The
book contains a short history of the
industry, pictures of present day
methods, a list of the members of the
sugar makers association and a
facsimile of it's adopted label. receipts
for cooking some maple sweetened food
and making candy, a few poems or
sugaring, and the whole is woven into
an interesting and highly valuable
story. Every householder in Vermont
or any other state should send for this
bulletin.

If the three parties of Vermont can
show anything like united and uni.
versal demand for special session of
the legislature and then Gov. Fletcher
fails to call the session we shall think
him a little obstinate. It is certain
that man by the name of Allen M.
Fletcher is governor of Vermont.
That has been demonstrated. But he
is amenable to the people and because
the legislature failed to take action
while they were together would hardly
excuse him from calling them together
under the circumstances now likely to
come about The responsibility would
hardly be entirely his either, in this
event. He has shown disposition not
to call a session on his own response
bility.

TERMS
WHY?

The Passumpsic Telephone company
continues to give service in sections of
it's territory for 81 per month. The
lowest advertised rate of this COM
pany for service of any kind is S1.5O
per month net. Why?
Subscribers in the Glover territory
receive service at 81 per month under
contract. While listed in the directory
under "West Glover" no West Glover
exchange is maintained and subscri-
bers in that territory are served from
the Barton exchange, with the same
day, night and Sunday service on
metallic lines. Why?
The Monitor understands Glover
patrons do not have all the territory
allotted subscribers of the Barton
exchange. Neither does the Barton
subscriber have all the territory
allotted the Glover subscriber, yet
both are served from the same central
office. Why?
Last fall the Monitor discussed the
telephone situation at some length in
these columns and under date of
October l3, Manager Brown of the
Passumpsic Telephone company wrote
the editor that some of our statements
were erroneous and misleading" and
that when the telephone case, then
being heard before the public service
commission at Montpelier was finished,
he would reply at some length to the
Monitors statements. The Monitor
offered Mr.. Brown space at that or
any future time and the case was long
ago settled so far as the Passumpsic
company was concerned Yet Mr.
Brown does not reply. Why?
The Passumpsic Telephone company
has no advertised 81 rate but gives
such a service. This company gives
such service and does not advertise
it, Why?
The Passumpsic company claims it i:
operating at very small profit. ;
profit figured at about 2 per cent on tn,
money said to be invested. The Pas
sumpsic company claims its rates shoul'
not be cut by the public service com
mission of Vermont, yet this compan
cuts its own rate in certain instances

the parties:
"Whereas, the voters of Vermont
have called for a direct primary law
in the choice of political candidates
it is the duty of the state to provide
such direct primary law as may serve
the needs of the state.
Therefore. the three leading
parties should agree on such bill ano
request his excellency, the governor

high tension wires in front of the
Pavilion hotel, Montpelier, Friday

strapped to the pole and was dead
when taken down.
That Vermont has been able to do
more than furnish statesmen and
masters of industry and transportation

G. w. Gates's Road Policy.

In common with other Informed
newspapers and individuals, the News
is perfectly well aware that the
Vermont Highway department, in
charge of Charles w. Gates, of Franklin
is carrying out the best plan of road
improvement yet devised. But it is
with peculiar satisfaction that this
fact is recognized by resident of
another state, who is familiar with
road conditions generally. In an in
terview with w H. Freeman, of
New Jersey. printed elsewhere in this
issue. that gentleman pays high tribute
to the high character Of Vermont roads
and the policy that prevails of i'm
provement 1t is with pardonable pride
that Vermonters realize that their
highways today are averaging better
than they are in such states as Massa-
chusetts and New York. The more
this knowledge spreads-and it will
spread rapidly-the more automobile
touring there will be, in this state.
Vermont roads are not yet finished,
but great steps in advance have been
taken during the past year or two and
the vast improvement made is being
generally noted. Good roads are one
of the best assets any state can have.

Communities are quick to note the
great variances in the work of judges
and the courts. A man of middle age
with long record of questionable
deeds, was last week sentenced for rape
to not less than one year nor more than
six years in states prison from one of
our Orleans county communities. Last
year young man from the same COM
munity and for the same crime was
sentenced by another court to state
prison term of not more than five nor
less than three years. We notice in
Caledonia county court last week two
men were sentenced for rape and each
given from one year to IL months fol-
the crime.

The power of advertising is again
and again demonstrated in results so
striking that the person who processes
to believe that advertising does not
pay has little chance of footing for
his argument. Some two years ago
the cigarette and tobacco people began
an advertising campaign in this nation.
The result the first year was billions

revenue from tobacco taxes of So. $780,
900. Another example is the decline
of the liquor business, revenues from
this source having fallen off the past
year some $4,OOO,OOO. This is due to
great commercial and ethical war
waged against the liquor traffic, and
the refusal of rapidly growing num-
Der of magazines and papers to longer
carry liquor advertising, must be
recognized as third great cause for
this decline.

Wise Judge; Worthless Youth.

"You are one Of these party boys.
aren't you? Like to go to surprise
parties and dance halls and don't like
to work. I'm going to sentence you to
Shirley school for boys and suspend the
sentence for year. The minute you
disobey your mother again, that pro-
baton officer will see that you go
straight to Shirley
The dance halls, the movies and the
ill-considered "student activities" of
our schools and colleges are producing
altogether too many boys of the type
described in the foregoing remarks of
Fall River judge, A pompadour,
two shirts, two pairs of trousers,
some dancing shoes. fond mother
and father who would rather "dig up
at ten-spot" than discipline his fair
haired darling, make a combination
that is reasonably certain to produce
one of the worthless youthful loafers
that are the pest alike of the home,
the summer resort and society gener-
ally.
There may be no direct connection,
but it is fact that with the passing
of corporal punishment in the school
and good, old-fashioned spanking in
the home, the number of impudent,
idle youths, whose only object is selfish
pleasure and whose highest ambition
is to bully or bother parents into
financing their gentle diversions. has
greatly increased.
No doubt parents are greatly to
blame for this condition, but there i:
certainly something wrong with the
social and educational system which
takes boy. the son of decent hard
working parents, who have shaved and
saved to give him such advantages as
they can. and turns him out cow

work. spends his mornings in bed, his
afternoons on the river or lake and his
evenings on the "skirt-porch, at the
rag-time dance-hall or the motion
picture theatre, with periods in
between of bullying mother and worry
ing father for money. This cheerful
scion of a respectable stock is ripe fol

the park bench of the unemployed.
The Fall River mother who hailed hel
whelp before that wise Judge had true
convictions courage, but most of US
would hardly go so far. Might we not
better ask that less dance, less class,
less social nonsense, less useless study
and more practical training for life's
