GERMAN PROTEST SUBsIDING IN
AMERICA.

1t was not surprising to some people
that protest should have arisen in the
United States because of the fact that
practically all the news of the European
war was coming from the side of the al
lies while the German side was all but
neglected, nasmuch as the German peo-
pie constitute the largest proportion of
the foreign born population in the United
States. According to the figures Of the
census of 1910, this department of which
has just been tabulated, there were
2,50l ISL people in the United States
who were born in Germany, leading all
other countries by nearly one-half
However, those Germans ought to have
become familiar enough with American
ways and American institutions to know
that when it comes to the matter of in
formation the American people are not
BIASED enough to desire news merely of
one side of the encounter to the exclu-
sion Of the other side 1t deserves to be
stated too. at this time that the Ger
mans have been getting their full share
of the distinction during the latter weeks
of the war. This is not because the
temper of the American people has
changed in any way, nor because their
sympathies have been altered; but II is
due to the fact of changed conditions
both as to the progress of the war and
as to means of communication. Where
as the Germans were baked somewhat
at the outset by the ierceness of the
Belgian defense, they have been making
progress morer gently in western Europe
and the tide OF the war has been largely
with them. At the same time, the wire
less direct communication between Ger
many and the United States has replaced
the cable, the service from which was
early cut by the allies. Therefore, we
are hearing less ault-inding among our
German people regarding the one-sided-
ness of the war news.

The reports of attendance at the Re-
publican eaucuses throughout Vermont
last week are to the effect that the eau
cuses were controlled by an unusually
small percentage of the members OF that
party, barring those few communities
where contests developed. In places hav-
ing several hundred voters, at least half
of which are Republicans, there was as
small an attendance as Is at the cau-
cuses, showing how easy it might be for
manipulation of the nominations provid-
ing few voters were disposed to exert
their influence in that direction. If the
direct primary win give anything like
more true representation Of the party,
il will be welcomed with all sincerity by
the Republican party, as well as as by
the other parties.

According to the assertion of State
Auditor Graham, the saving of the state
Of Vermont during one fiscal year from
the policy of purchasing state supplies
through single agent has amounted to
$4,000. Such being the case, it is a
remarkable demonstration of the efficien-
cy of system Of having state purchas-
ing agent, system which has been in
operation little more than a single year.
This system includes the policy OF com
petitive bidding for the states contracts,
together with the purchase of supplies
in large quantities in order to secure
the discount generally accorded on large
contracts. The results Of this business
like method as applied to Vermont's adj
ministrative machinery have been en-

CURRENT COMMENT

Again, Vermont as Summer Resort
The Landmark, as has been its wont
at various times, calls attention to the
possibilities of Vermont as a summer
resorted, prompted thereto, on this occa-
sion, by the almost daily repetition in
Boston and New York papers of the
statement that these August days see
New Hampshire, from its southern to its
northern boundary, filled TO overlooking
with the summer tourist and boarder.
Until the late October frosts appear, and
even into November, the hotels OF many
OF the states resorts will be filled with
vacationists from outside cities and
states, and all the whole these visitors
will be consuming the New Hampshire
farmers milk, butter, fruit and yegeta-
bles. In years past, the annual income
of the Granite state from its summer
resort business has been estimated at
from seven to nine millions of dollars,
while this year it may reach the splendid
sum OF ten millions Of dollars. This in
come came to the state as the result OF
a well-managed publicity bureau or state
system of advertising. To-day New
Hampshire's summer boarder business 4
a fixture, permanently established and
bound to be continuous source OF finan-
eial income to thousands of farmers, as
well as the owners of hotels.
Many who made vacation stay IN
New Hampshire passed through Vermont
by train or auto TO get there. Why did
he not stop in Vermont, for he was i'm
mensely pleased with its scenery and en-
yironmentY Simply because he knew OF
no place where the summer tourist IS
entertained. The condition of Vermont
highways made the trip for the auto
tourist across the state and into New
Hampshire all the easier and quicker,
and this, too, at the expense Of the Yer
mont taxpayer. Had the tourist stayed
in Vermont for a week, or, better still,
for a month, his financial expenditures
would have helped pay the costs OF high
way maintenance. To get the summer
tourist to pass the season in Vermont
is an easy possibility, and when is con.
sidered how great would be the financial
and economic advantages OF such reali-
cation, it is indeed strange that the state
has not long since been made popular
summer resort.--White River Junction
