Among the many items Of interest
given in the various reports Of the
different departments and commit
tees at the annual meeting of the
Barre Womans club was one of spec.
ial interest concerning the scholar
ship work Of the state federation.
Through the efforts of Mrs. n ID.
Phelps, acting chairman of the schol-
arship committee, $500 has been con-
trbuted by an Omaha daughter of
Vermont This is the largest dona-
ton ever received by the Vermont
federation.
At the present time there are five
federation girls at the Castleton nor
NAL school. Principal Charles a.
Adams speaks in the highest terms
of these girls and of their work. The
first object of this work is for the i'm
provement of the rural schools of
Vermont, thereby giving them better
teachers. The second object is to
help some of our Vermont girls to a
normal training. These girls pledge
themselves to teach two years in the
rural districts. All the federated
clubs in the state are asked to aid in
this good work. The Barre Woman's
club contributed $50 this year, the
Philomathians IS.
The loyal clubwomen Of Vermont
are alert to help along all lines for
the betterment of Vermont.

Virginia Goes Dry.

iestefday's vote in Virginia on the
statewide prohibition issue resulted in
a large majority for the complete sus-
pension OF the liquor traffic in the COM
monwealth after November 1, 1916.
This was more or less foreshadowed nv
the great strength shown by the pro-
hioitionists in past city and county
elections, which have rendered a con-
siderable part of the state dry" II
was not expected, however, that so
heavy margin would be shown for
statewide prohibition. The effect of
the enforcement of this new law will
be a matter of considerable interest
ana Importance to Washington. AT
present Alexandria county, Immediate
ly adjacent to the District, is dry.
While Alexandria city is wet In the
existing conditions it Is possible to
ship liquor into the former from Wash
ington for private consumption, but
under the statewide law such a traffic
becomes Illegal in consequence Of a
recent enactment by Congress- Thus
through a combination of state and
federal laws Alexandria county may
be rendered even dryer than at pres
ent. The stoppage of the liquor traffic
in Alexandria is likely to cause some
material changes in that city, which
has never before been rendered sub
ject to prohibition.

who are cooperating rs joint command
ers OF the allies, appears to be identical
in this battle with that employed In the
battle Of the Marine, where. holding to an
eastern pivot. they gradually swung their
lines around to envelop the German right.
II they now are successful In accomplish
ing this. with the pivot established some
what south Of verdun, they may be able
to press the line Of the invaders back
to the Belgian frontier.
The moral effect Of clearing French
territory Of the German armies cannot fail
to be an important factor in the cam
paign. A dispatch from London today
suggests that the allied forces are grow
ing daily from the ends OF the earth"
and that consequently time fights on
their side. This phrase signifies that the
French are drawing recruits from Africa
and the English from India or perhaps
Canada and Australia. On the other
hand. it is difficult to see from what
source Germany can draw to replace the
field losses. which are known to be
heavy. Were 1t not for the eastern cam
paign against the Russians 1t would be
possible to fill the gaps in the ranks
in France, but there Is need at this time
Of every man in one or the other ield

tenance OF the great western army large

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Today is observed as Safety dav in

who are suspicious of fads in modern
education, reading this mere announce
ment. might wonder if it meant one
more distracting and futile channel
into which theorists would divert the
inQutring minds of the rising genera.
ton. Nothing of the sort. The OBJ
servance points the way to the safety
carnival opening Saturday next at
Convention Hall. where all manner OF
devices protecting life and limb in
modern industry are to be introduced
to public attention or discussed by
specialists.
That the whole movement is much
more than a transient phase Of modern
applied altruism is shown by the fact
that its direction is committed into the
hands of men of large affairs, who
realize the need of diminishing the
personal risk in railway, manufacture
ing. electric and other enterprises
Above all. the individual workman
must be trained to avail himself of the
safeguards installed. He cannot be
taught too early how to use them
That is where the familiariZing work
Of the elementary schools becomes an
important factor in the problem.

War Developments in France.

Evidence continues. though without def
milton in detail. that the allied forces in
France are turning the German right
wing in the neighborhood OF St Quentin
and that the German position is becom-
ing precarious. Some particulars have
been received respecting the desperate
fighting at Perronne. northwest of St
Quentin. which Is occupied by allied
troops after hand-to-hand struggle In
order to accomplish this fianking move
ment the allies had to make a detour to
avoid a large area of marshy country.
The evacuation Of Amiens. forced by
successful maneuvers by the English and
French, permitted this swing of a large
body around to the northwest of Won
kluck's right wing. This has brought
the allied troops into a position virtually
north OF the German intrenched position
and has doubtless by this time compelled
a refacing Of the German line in that
direction, probably rendering useless the
Entertainments prepared by the Germans
upon their retreat from the Marne and
held by them throughout the recent rainy
period. which gave them a greatly need
ed rest
To counter this apparently successful
allied movement the Germans have mean
while been delivering fierce attacks upon
the allied lines in the center and in the
east. concentrating north Of Rheims and
east Of Verdun. where the allied line bends
southwark after passing to the north Of
the fortihcAtions According to French
reports. these attacks have not succeeded
in piercing the allied line. The general

m the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
One benefit the war has conferred
upon the ordinary citizen is to dimin-
ish his terror of professors. Their ut
terances have startled the ordinary
citizen, but they have treasured him
and given him a better opinion of him
self. He has discovered that, after all,
there Is nothing supernatural about a
professor; that the professor is man
like himself. with like passions. and
even-this he has discovered with a
great secret joy-of like fooushness
When great professors like Eucken and
Haeckel demonstrate that they can be
just as furious. bigoted and illogical as
zen should feel saddened. but instead
he feels elated. The heavens seem
nearer to him when a demi-god loses
his temper.

Senator Burton,

The republicans of Ohio, at a. pri-
mary, have made their nomination for
United States senator. Mr.. Burton re-
fused to contest. and so will retire from
the Senate next March.
Ohio is battle-ground this year. Bun
moosery has a hold there, not nearly
so strong, it is true, as two years ago,
but still strong enough to give the
democrats hope and the republicans un
easiness. The republican candidate Ia
greatly respected. but not known to
national life. and hence without some
Of the prestige which would be yaIu-
able in the present race.
Mr.. Burton has been a power in Buck
eye affairs for some years. His mind Is
of a serious cast. He Is a student of
government and political affairs. and
hence does not run to popular oratory
Pity that at this time the country ia to
lose the services in political office of
SO full and able a man.

Primaries.

The story of yesterdays primaries
held in Massachusetts, opens thus: AN
unusually light vote was cast" Such
an announcement since primaries were
ordered has come from many other
states. 1t Is now almost stereotyped.
Criticism of the convention method Of
making nominations dwet upon the
charge that 1t prevented full and free
expression Of the people: that a few
professional politicians met in back
rooms. arranged states of delegates.
and then manipulated the delegates at
convention time; that nominations
were thus easily bought, and the de-
moralizing ends of machine politics
promoted.
To cure this the primaries were in
troduced. 1t was said in their behalf
that they would increase the number
of candidates, giving the people a
wider choice. quicken interest in con-
tests. and give to nominations a char
acter and recommendation they had
hitherto lacked.
This promise has not been redeemed.
In Massachusetts yesterday each party
offered only one candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination. interest was
not quickened in the contests. and the
nominations represent an expression of
only q small portion of the voters.
The convention method had its faults,
and much of what had been said about
it was true. Machine politicians had
fiourished under 1t. Some nominations
had undoubtedly been bought. Many
well qualified men had abstained from
contesting for political honors.
But the primaries are not correcting
the evil. Yesterdays nominees in
Massachusetts,, 1t is true, are good and
representative men, but only a laneuid
interest was shown in their candidates..
No convention nominees ever had fewer
men behind them.
In at least two other states-Penn-
savanna and Illinofs-charges are made
OF a lavish use Of money. and a con-
gressional investigation is asked.
To admit the failure of the primary
method rs 1t now exists is not to pro-
pose a return to the old convention
method undenatured- If in some fea-
lures We have snapped the devil for a
witch let US not swap back again. but
Try TO md some means Of getting rid
OF the witch to advantage We want
the best nominations possible by the
Dest means possible. We certainly have
hao enough OF political machines con-
.Ioiieo oy Few men skilled in the art
OF manipulating voters and election re-
turns. And we should refuse to confess
mat because our first remedy is not
sieioInS what we desire and should
nave remedy is unobtainable.
