largely from the reactionary and ma
chine part of his party. Mr.. Clement is
now just where he belongs. He has new
err truly represented the peoples interest,
his platform places him squarely as the
champion of the big interests and the
railroad regime. This policy is in accord
with the very ones who hold the control
of the Republican party and it shows
that there is to be a concentrated effort
by the reactionaries to carry out their
policies in future legislation. No man
in Vermont more truly represents these
interests than Mr. Clement and the Re-
puclican party will do well to nominate
man who is in sympathy with those
views Burlington Clipper.

The Neutrality Appeal.

In admirable good taste is the presi-
dents address to his fellow countrymen
appealing to them to avoid anything in
speech or action which is contradictory
TO the spirit of true neutrality. This is
excellent advice. We hope it will be
respected. The president is himself car
ryiny the neutrality idea farther than
had any of his predecessors in similar
circumstances. We are as a nation in
the forefront in those policies which dis
courage btlligerent operation. So far,
so good.
For another thing we are indebted to
the president, and that is his closing the
mouths of officers Of the army and navy,
regular and retired, in this great crisis.
We should have been glad to hear their
views. These would have Illuminated
the situation, but the inference from
them, made by other countries, would
have been unmistaksble. All things con
sdered it is best that they and the read
ing public should subordinate an imre-
diate interest for the larger general good.

Much as he would like to, President
Wilson can scarcely keep the American
people from thinking their own separate
thoughts about the war in Europe. Even
he himself has his own ideas and his own
sympathies, we dare say, although he
does not parade them around in public.
Therefore, what he intended to say in
his recent communication to the people
of the United States undoubtedly was
that they ought to be careful of what
they say rather than of what they carry
in their minds.

While the words of the piece may not
appeal to all sections of the United
States, there is no doubt that the tune

about the most stirring marching music
that is played in the present day So
there is no wonder that the tune is APP
propriated by soldiery in many eoun-
tries, particularly in Great Britain. as
noted in yesterdays dispatches when a

Civil war piece. The tune fairly makes
ones feet fly.
