He makes them seem smaller than they
are. One thing every observer of affairs
~ Washington has pointed Uit almost
from the beginning of this administration
has been the complete dominance which
Mr.. Wilson enjoys over Congress. He
has proved himself stronger than any
man or any group Of men In either or
both branches, Congress has had to take
its orders from him. II hos passed the
bills he desired TO have passed and ir
the form he desired them to take He
has not only shared but has had the
major share In the framing and making
OF all important legislation. The anti
truet bills were referred to him time and
again while they were being drafted and
before they were introduced. Mr. vii
son sets apart Wednesday Of each week
for consultation with members of Con-
gress about pending legislation. They
now have the habit of coming to him for
advice and suggestion.
And his cabinet is just as submissive o
his will. All of them think Wilson Is a
wonder. He regards them as depart

rein in departmental matters; but they
never forget that Mr.. Wilson is the

THE EXTRA SESSION QUESTION.

The correspondence between the State
republican committee and Governor
Fletcher. published elsewhere in these
columns, makes several things tolerably
clear and comprehensive for the casual
reader. In the first place, the direct pri
mary issue is not the only question in

session shall be called, constitutional con-
sideratons being specially concerned. In
the second place. the Governor is plainly
considering as he should the factor of

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
VERMONT ELECTROCUTIONs TOO
FREQUENT.
CFrom the Rutland Herald)


Electrocutons are becoming altogethe,
TOO frequent In Vermont. Every few
days somebody is killed by coming into
contac' with wires carrying electricity
OF high voltage. In a great percentage
of the cases the men are employees OF
electric lighting and power concerns.
Late Friday afternoon an employe Of
the Rutland company was killed. probably
instantly, by receiving a current Of 23n1
volts. and this week n lineman for the
hghting company at Montpelier met death
IN exactly the same way. The frequency
OF these electrocltions suggests that
some prompt remedy of the trouble, what.
ever 1t Is, should be found If greater
safety appliances are necessary to reduce
the hazards Of the occupation Of linemen
they should be affected. IF men too
little familiar with electrical work are
employed as hnemen this practice should
ne discontinued. Altogether too high
percentage Of men employed in electrical,
work are injured or killed and the dan
ger. whatever It is. should command the
immediate attention Of experts with a
view to minimizing, II not elimination.

WAR;.

1t Is unthnkable that there could be
general European war War is out of
date, 1t belongs in the past with trials
by combat, with punishment By torture
with production by slavery. with alchemy
and witch-craft and all the old mistakes
and cruelties of by-gone times. War still

more primitive in their impulses and
less enlightened than men as units In

remains like late SHOWS and even in the
broad lands, which ordinarily feel the
warmth Of the new humanity. at times
the clouds close in and war seems almost
Inevitable.
But war is not inevitable because war
is human and not subject 10 the dictates
of blind nature. There can be no war
unless human beings Will have war.
War is as destructive and as useless to
all concerned as frosts, earthquakes and
floods. That Is why war Is worse than
foolish, But war is not the child Of
blind natural forces. II is always the
product Of responsible reasoning, feeling
human beings That is why war is a
crime,
There was a stage in the evolution of
the race when war performed its service
to civilization by cleaning mp the earth
and mixing the races of vigor with the
races of culture, just as in a long past
primitive time slavery had It's mission of
taking useless lazy tribesmen and teach
Ing them to work until In many cases
they eventually supplanted their oaptors,
But we have advanced far beyond the
time when war was necessary to release
the energies of men and to spur them
to moral Improvements. i thousand un-
day afford inspiration and outlet for all
the fervor, energy and daring, for all the
sacrifice and great endeavor of which
| mankind is capable. And war always
means the retarding of these undertake

closing of colleges, the cessation of labor
