The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-09-26

The destructibility of the average
country hotel in small towns was again
shown in the fire at Fairlee last week
when the only public hostelry in the lit
tie village was wiped out by fire which
started in the upper structure of the
wooden building and gained such rapid
Roadway that the comparatively slight
means of e-fghting at hand was of no
avail in checking the progress, the build
ing being entirely destroyed. The COM
bination of wooden, swift burning hotel
structures with practically no apparatus
for fighting is too much for the
stoutest hearts and the most willing
hands. Once started in buildings of this
nature fires are almost uncomfortable,
and the experience of Fairlee simply du-
plicates the experience of many another
small village in the country districts,
where too much trust has been reposed
in the element of luck. For the good of
the little community on the Connecticut
river, it is to be hoped that some friend
will come along and rebuild the struc-
ture as happened in the case of Plainfeld
when that village lost its only hotel by
fire. As far as hotel accommodations are
concerned, Plainfeld is far better or
than before the fire. Possibly Fairlee
will be.

Home Rule in ireland.

King George having given It the royal
assent. the home rule bill is now on
the statute book, though its provisions
will not go into operation for year
The adoption OF this measure of fedora
ton attracts little comment at the pres
ent time. Its success was a foregone
conclusion and in the din of war neither
Great Britain nor the outside world pays
much heed to the progress of "revolu-
ton" In effect, the United Kingdom
Is disunited. The British sovereign re-
mains its ruler and the Irish Parliament
that Is 70 be will have no authority to
enact other than local legislation. Ire
land will still be represented in the inn
perial Parliament, but by a diminished
delegation. Briefly, Ireland will be in
a position analogous to that Of one Of
the states OF the American union. II

take part in those Of the nation. For
the success Of home rule ireland IL under
more obligation TO John Redmond than
TO any other man living. Probably the
home rulers in Ireland recognize this
fact. They cannot very well fail TO do
50, whatever certain Irish-Amerloans
may say 20 the contrary. At no stage
Of this long -continued controversy has
Redmond more clearly proved his claim
70 be considered a statesman than when
he cast the lot Of Ireland with that Of
Great Britain in the war with Germany.

to demonstrate that home rule means

vermont's Senatorial Situation.

II is natural assumption that the
failure of the Vermont Democratic state
convention to indorse Mr.. Prouty's sena-
torial candidacy insured Senator Dilling-
hams reelection. If Mr.. Prouty, with
nothing but the Progressive and Prohi-
bition nominations, can sweep Vermont
he will certainly do wonders. He can
still make direct appeal to the people
however, and his chances on that sc-
count are probably better than they
would be in the legislature. Without
the Democratic Endorsement, he may find
his prospects of securing Republican
votes much improved. Vermont's use
for Democrats continues TO be very
much curtailed.-Springfeld (Mass.l Re-

IN INTERESTS OF VERMONT
FORESTRY.

Individuals possessed of much farm
land are often designated as "land poor"
because of their inability to raise money
on their property, but the state of YER
mont will never be land poor with thous-
ands of public acres, provided those acres
are covered with growing timber, as is
the case at the present time. Therefore,
the requirement OF such land through
donation or purchase need occasion no
alarm. Rather should it occasion a feel
ing OF elation, not alone because Of the
direct value of the timbered land but
because of the incentive to scientific for
estry which the examples in scattered
sections of the state may furnish the
people of the commonwealth. The gen.
erous gift of 400 acres OF land in the
town of Cayendish by Redfeld Proctor,
grandson OF the senator of that name
and son of the late Fletcher d. Proctor
governor and a leading citizen of the
state, makes notable addition to the
states holdings of public land OF this
sort, there being now about $500 acres
set to tree growth.
Now that the state has acquired 30
much timber land and has gone to the
expense of setting out other trees on
these tracts of land, it would seem to be
an excellent policy TO prosecute plan of
general education along the lines of for
estry so that the entire people of the
state might become interested in the pro-
posal. The state forestry department
has done considerable work along this
line; but as yet only the people in the
immediate vicinity of the state forests
have become enthused to any appreciate
extent in the business of raising forests.
A statewide interest ought to be aroused,
IF possible, so that Vermont's waste land
would be utilized for development of for
ests. IL is a slow investment but toll
erably safe under careful watching to
prevent devastation by forest fires. And
already the state is doing something to
aid in that guarding.

'Tn view Of the present standing Of

had occupied the cellar position for so
long, Mr.. Mays opinion carried little
weight last spring. Now. however, he
has right to feel a little chesty and
the chances are that his baseball dope
will be accepted hereafter without a
question. Caledonia

formerly; and the evil of the practice
has been pointed out again and again.
Indeed, the public had been led to hope
that the evil of it had become so pro-
nounced that the organizations would
take it upon themselves to set their
dates at some other time than during
the session of the legislature. There.
fore, it is decidedly disappointed that
the Vermont Bar association should be
the first to change its date from the
customary time, because the bar associa-
ton is sufficiently powerful to stand on
its own feet and be independent Of the
legislature. OF course, there may be
some strong reason why the date of the
annual meeting should be transferred
from October to January, but there will
not be equally as strong reasons back Of
the changes which are likely to be am
nounced as the result of the bar associa-
tion's initiative. They win follow on
like flock of sheep.

Senator Dnlingham's Campaign.

The campaign carried on by Senator
Dillingham;, for reelection to the United
States Senate from the state Of Yer
mont has been almost unique in this dsy
of frenzied politics. He early announced
himself as a candidate of the Republi-
can party-the party which had honored
him with the nomination three times in
the past. and again few DAYS ago. He
has all along conducted quiet, gentle
manly campaign, not uttering one word
against any of his possible adversaries.
He has disproven eonclusively some Of
the things with which his adversaries
have charged him, others are too absurd
for notice, but in all he has not said
discourteous word.
On the other hand, his chief opponent,
former Interstate Commerce Commission
or Charles A. Prouty, has resorted to
peculiar methods. TO put il mildly. at
tempting to further his desire to replace
Senator Dillingham;. Mr.. Prouty is will

CRowDING THE LEGISLATURE.

The transfer of the assembly date OF

instance, the Vermont Bar association, it
Is announced, will not hold its annual
meeting at the time Of the converting OF

Montpelier but the date will be set
ahead to the January term of supreme
court. We expect that the announce
