THE CRITICAL ENGLISH.

The Germans laugh ut the weakness
of a democracy with u free press and
free speech when it comes to war
making. The German autocracy for
that is what the government there be-
comes in time Of war can tell such
stories as it likes and "a people train
ed to obedience accept and say moth
ing. 1t is their conception of patriot
ism.
In England, where the people pro
fess the utmost confidence in Lord
Kitchener, they chafe and scold and
threaten because they do not get the
undiluted news from the war front.
1t would be the larger part of patriot
ism on the part of those who protest,
to enlist and fit themselves for place
on the firing line. About now they
must know enough about the equip
ment and ability Of their foe to real
ize that their task is q full sized one.

CHAMPENEY SENTENCED.
Man Who Shot DuraHd at Jonesvile
Given Long Prison Term.

BURLINGTON, Oct. IS.-Not less
than four wears and not more than
five was the sentence imposed on Clar-
ence Champenev in Chittenden county
court for shooting Joseph Durand, ir.,
in the legs at JonesvilIe few weeks
ago.
1t appears that Champeney has not
at any time denied the crime and the
only thing offered by him by way of
Justification was that Durand was
about to assault him with club.
making q statement to Champeney that
he had got him. The affair took
place outside the window of a house
where Mrs. Durand was living and
Champeney was there for the purpose
of paying visit to Mrs. c. Durand
The respondent said he shot by way of
protecting himself.
The court in imposing sentence told
Champenev that had he aimed the gun
little higher he would have been
obliged to answer to a charge of hom-
.icide. The court said there was too
much homicide in Vermont as the re-
suit of carrying reviewers. He added
that there was no excuse whatever in
the ease of Champeney unless it was
his youth, and it made no difference
whether the woman in the case was
good or bad.

There is much truth in the obser-
walton Of Moody's Magazine that the
almost universal sentiment in this
country against Germany is because
Americans have an instructive sense
that the German system of govern
ment, especially its militarism, is in
deadly hostility to the principles which
we regard as fundamental, while
France, being a republic and Great
Britain, having a practical democ-
racy, are much closer to our ideals.

Replies to Queries of Anti Saloon
League Relative to Proposed Con-

NermOnters are greatly interested in
the Shepard Hobson Joint resolution now
pending in Congress for an amendment
to the constitution of the United
States prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating beverages.
The proposed amendment is as follows:
Section /. The sale, manufacture
for sale, transportation for sale. i'm
portation for sale Of Intoxicating Ii
quors for beverage purposes in the
United States and all territory subject
TO the jurisdiction thereof. and the ex-
pOrtatiOn for sale therefrom, are for

'Section ,. The Congress of the
states within their respective iuris-
dictions shall have the power to en-
force this article by all needful Ieois-
lation.''
Unless passed by the necessary two
thirds majority of both houses at the
coming winter session. this resolution
Will undoubtedly be introduced again
in the next Congress to which this
state will next month elect a senator
and two representatives. SO the at
titude Of the several candidates for
these Offices toward the amendment
becomes a matter of importance and

Iwas surprised when the car came
to take me over to the Symones to
dinner to find Harry Symone holding
the door open for me.
Where's Dick?" l asked as drew
back-for l had no intention of going
to ride with him alone, even to his
house.
We'll pick him up at the Office,
said Harry, laughing a little. "Put
aside your Observation-Disclosures
prejudices, Margie, and get in or we
will miss him"
l did not think for a minute that
this speech meant that he had not
told Dick he was going to stop for
him, and, as 1 saw that little Mrs.
Brown, who is not only gossipy but
malicious, looking curiously out of
the window of the glass-inclosed
porch, l got in hastily and Harry gave
the order for the chauffeur to go to
Dicks Office.
wondered what MoIlie would say
if she saw me doing the very thing
1 had taken her to task about, and,
although we intended to pick up
Dick, l felt that Harry Symone should
have gone for him first or at least
sent the empty car for me and had
himself picked up last.
What a little prude you are,
Margie," said Harry as we started
off.
mo, l am not" I answered, but 1
am very much afraid of the speech
of people. 1t is all very well for a
woman to say, Z don't care what peo-
pie think if myself know l am right
1 do not believe that is true. do not
believe there is a woman living that
does not care what people say about
her, unless she has completely lost
her own self-respect."

Harry had the grace to blush, es-

stopped at Dicks office, and the boy
said: "Mr. Waverly has been gone
since four o'clock" and he could see
that knew he had been t'pouching"
AS we again started for HarTy's

he continued rather to himself than
