MORE BUILDING OPERATIONS.
Trow & Holden Building Addition to
Factory-Annex to Zanleoni Block
Has Been Started.

While the approximate sum of $780,
600 j. being expended on the erection of
a new City hospital, the new hotel on
Washington street and a $4,000 annex
to Spaulding school, building enterprises
in other sections of the city are not lag
ging. Ground was broken to-day for an
addition to the South Main street plant
of Trow 4 Holden which will cost sew
eral thousands of dollars and Charles
Zanleon has a gang of laborers at work
on the foundation for a sizeable annex to
his building at 243 North Main street.

Conditional Contraband.

The United States government will
confer service upon the entire civil
lied world if it takes this opportunity
Of insisting upon its immemorial claims
regarding contraband of war. For one
hundred years IL has been the contention
of this country that belligerent nations
have no right to disturb or prevent neu-
trail nations from carrying on lawful
commerce with the rest Of the world.
Peaceful peoples are unquestionably en-
titled to exercise their industry 10 the
full. regardless of how many other ma
lions are fighting. They have also the
theoretical right TO carry and sell the
fruits Of that industry to all markets.
But the vague, elastic Interpretation of
what is conditional eontraband renders
that right a farce and an sbsurdity.
According TO the terms of the Decla-
ration of London. most of the articles
exported by the United States, including
the very first necessities Of life, can be
declared contraband BY any belligerent

obviously, any German merchant might
sell provisions to the German govern
ment; he can be compelled 10. Upon
such grounds, practically any cargo can
be confscsted. or At least pre-empted.

posite to Germany, the cable lines used
by Germany having been cut as war
move early in the encounter; thus the
reports naturally have more to do with
the movements OF the triple entente
members rather than with the two mems
bers OF the triple alliance at present en-
gagged and, we are willing to admit, may
have leaning toward those countries.
However, it is not the. desire of the vast
majority of newspapers in the United
States to give anything but the most
accurate information obtainab BILE and II
they wander from that path in any de-
gree it is due to the sources
of informationon which they arc
soley dependent rather than upon
any desire to prejudice the cause of
Great Britain. 1t is reserved for the
newspapers, we believe, to take which
ever side they desire in editorial com
ment, but in the news columns absolute
impartiality is the desideratum, To that
end the newspapers would welcome the
full and free current of news from any
and all the countries involved. And
they would print it.

A Labor Unionist's view of the war.

As copy for this issue of our Journal
was sent to the printer more than halt
the news in our daily papers was about
a great continental war in Europe, fos-
tered and put in force by the war lord
of Germany. The pretense was some i'll
feeling between Austria and Servia, but
which was somewhat lost sight OF in
the turmoil, and the German butcher
in SPURS speedily dominated an appeal to
arms. He and other lordings in that
part OF the world in recent years have
been prating about the desire for adjust.
ment of international disputes through
The Hague tribunal. II is evident in
this unwarranted human catastrophe
that few If any of the participants in
the protocols and even more definite
arrangements incidental to The Hague
tribunal meant one word of them, eS-
cepting that they desired that such
course be followed when some other
countries than their own were involved
There is nothing evidently which in
flames the human mind and makes the
red blood course faster through the hu.
man body than q dramatic arrangement
of words appealing to alleged patriot
ism and intermingled with certain def
mite reference to the sacredness of the
flag of the country. There are other
ways of displaying real patriotism than
in the glorification of an opportunity
to shed human blood, and especially is
workingmen in one country shedding the
blood Of workingmen in another country
when between the workers involved
there is no quarrel. 1t is also depress-
this of interest when il comes to the
ing to witness the whole of it, because
when the turmoil is over the actual
workers will not have gained anything.
and the monarchial governments win
have fastened their shackles on thea
subjects with an extra mental rivet. We
hope that the war scare will not be so
bad as it looks. that mems passions
will subside, and that they can return
10 the peaceful pursuits which will make
their respective countries far greater |
han ever can happen through humas
slaughter of the producers of neigh |

stance that the quarrel is a subject of |
llleged insult between monarchs, and |
which insult is so infnitesimally small |
ha! the wonder is that even kings
would involve their people in a CHASTITY
lispute. As it is a contention between
nonarchs. it would have been compare

ranged themselves in combat each side

A GERMAN-AMERIoAN PROTEST.

We have received, as we presume most
of the daily newspapers of the United
States have received, or will receive, a
copy of "The Fatherland," journal pub
lished in the interests of "fair play for
Germany and Austria" from a printing
office in New York City, the journal
bearing the names of George Sylvester
Viereck, Frederick F. Schrader and Louis
Sherwin as editors. The purposes of the
new publication, as stated in Vol |,
No. l, are % "to place the German
side of this unhappy quarrel fairly and
squarely before the American people,
~ "to review, week by week, the actual
events of the war so far as they can be
authoritatively aseertained," and (3l "to
review, week by week, the attitude Of
the American press, TO combat, as far
as lies in our power, the misstatements
and preiudices of the Slsvophile and the
German-hater, to point out discrepancies
and TO protest against injustice toward
a race that has rightfully earned the
sympathy and admiration instead Of the
jealousy Of the so.called civilized world
for its industry, its art, its philosophy
and it, humanity
That such a journalistic effort should
BE- started in the United States was al
most inevitable in view Of the facts
that there are millions Of people Of
German birth or descent in the United !
States and that thus far in the war
proceedings most Of the reports Of the 4
conflicts have come from sources which 4
might wei Be considered preiudiced. /

reports Of the European var The latter

By Aug. 2l, says the report, Russia
may have her army modified. Some
people are so optimistic as to expect a
cessation of hostilities by that time, al
though not a settlement of the questions
involved in the war In any event Rus
STA is not proving herself especially ac-
tive in the mobilization of troops. Most
of the brunt of the warfare has fallen
thus far on France, which was not orig
inally in the embroglio but was dragged
in by Russia's first steps to mobilize.
Russia will have quite a debt of graft
tude to pay to the French people even if
the war should not progress far beyond
the present stage.

German Attack on Belgians.

Reports from Brussels that the Ger
man soldiers show no spirit may be dis
counted because of their source, but why
should the German soldiers show spirit
Why should they have the least desire
in the world to kill the people of Bel
GUM, a small, highly-civilized and peace
full country with which Germany had
no quarrel whatever. To officers, who
make war a trade, and who are educat
ed to believe that resistance to their
wonderful army is crime, there may be
little sympathy for the Belgians. But
to the average German, of peaceful life,
who is in the army of invasion only be-
cause he happened to be serving his term
in the army when the war broke out,
this unprovoked attack on friendly
country must have been hard thing TO
stomach Even though on the road to
Paris, the Germans can hardly have rel
ished this part of their job. For Ger
mans have never been brought up to
hate Belgians, and it would be surpris-
ing if man for man they showed the
spirit of the Liegeois, fighting for rights
which not even the German apologists
dare to question.-Springfeld Mass

and the voters demand a declaration OF
principles, but this does not necessarily
need to deter any aspirant, for they are
not expected to live up to their pub
lishtd declaration
Mr.. Clement is well known in Vermont
and he is not novice in politics, as he
was one of the principals in the most
hotly- contested gubernatorial fight Yer
mont has ever witnessed, when in 1902
he was the candidate for governor
against John G. McCoullugh also Repub-
lican, who won over Mr.. Clement, and
being defeated Mr.. Clement bolted the
ticket and ran Independently of the Re-
publicans, on the license issue, and very
nearly won.
Mr.. Clement is man of fine business
capabilities and his friendship and
knowledge of men in the mercantile and
banking world will gain strength for
him. His campaign will be conducted on
business principles as evidenced by his
straightforward avowal that he is a can
didate. That alone will gain friends
for him, for everyone admires a straight
from the shoulder talk, and it will give
him decided advantage over those men
who are spending their time feeling
around" to try to find who is going to
force" them to accept the nomination.
Mr.. Clement ia a candidate for gov
ernor; he wants to be governor; and If
waging vigorous campaign will win it
for him, he will be governor.
To recite the principles which Mr..
Clement bases his candidacy upon would
be repetition of what every other gov
ernor has declared, and mostly failed to
do. He does believe in publishing cam
paign expenses, however, and will I'M
do so.
Mr.. Clements great strength as can.
didate for the chief executive of YER
mont will lie in his business ability and !
success as a fnancier; for we must ad
NIT that the man who can successfully !
carry forward his own large interests is
better fitted to look after the welfare
Of the commonwealth OF the state than
the man who is not a successful one
in the manipulation of his own affairs
