THE VERMONT MILITIA READY.

The warning of the Spanish American
war has been valuable in keeping the
state military departments in good
shape, so it is possible to assert that
in many respects the citizen soldiery
will be found in better shape to-day
than il was when the call to arms was
heard back in 1903. The Vermont Ma
tional Guard has been trained during
the years following the trip to Chicka-
manga with a view to practical expert
ence and for that reason the various
companies should be in excellent shape
as far as it is possible for citizen sol
diery to be in times of peace and with
no war in prospect. We understand that
at conference of officers of the Ma
tional Guard at Burlington on Saturday
it was reported that the regiment was
in shape for service and that great
majority Of the enlisted men are ready
for the word that shall call them into
active participation in support of their
country. We trust the word will not
come but we are glad that the men are
ready.

CURRENT COMMENT
Those Revoked Charters.

Vermont is quite graveyard for cor
porations, too. What tales of disap-
pointed hopes those So revoked charters
might tell could they but speak!"--
Barre Times.
1t Is better that death certificates and
burial orders be promptly issued to cor
porations that are moribund. We find
only two or three names among those
of the 50 concerns whose charters have
Just been revoked by the state tax com.
missioner, according to law, of corpora
tons which were at any time going con-
Germs with good prospects and that have
met with reyerses or had poor manage
ment. A few Others are of those who
have ceased business and gone elsewhere
in the state, and still others have been
merged with larger companies and thus
are stronger than ever. For the most
part, though, the So corporations just
deceased in Vermont were at no time
any considerable business factor in the
state.--Rutland News.

THE SOUTH AMERICAN OFFER.

An element of irony enters into the
offer by the three South American eoun-
tries, Brazil, Argentina and Chile, to act
as mediator between the United States
and the discordant elements in the Mex
lean republic following the occupation
OF Vera Cruz by the United States ma
rnes. The irony is furnished by the
United States, which for years has set
herself up as the conservator of peace
in these same South American countries.
finding herself in a position very much
like that from which she tried to keep
the South American countries, and with
those South American countries turning
about and offering to extricate the erst-
while fostering mother from the dis
agreeable situation. Brazil, Argentina
and Chile were quick to see the oppor-
tunity to teach the United States a les
son and they were as quick to grasp
that opportunity by sending the formal
offer of their services in behalf of peace
Because of the former position of the
United States in which she was willing
at any and all times to use her good
Offices in settling the squabbles of the
South American countries, it would have
been scarcely consistent for the United
States to turn down a similar offer by
those same nations. Therefore, it be-
came incumbent on President Wilson to
accept the offer of mediation, or to ac-
knowledge that the whole program hereto
fore carried out by his country was not
reciprocal obligation but intended
merely for the United States to exercise
when it saw fit. President Wilson's note
of acceptance of the offer indicates
frame of mind not at all over pleased
with the situation forced on the United
States by the adroit South American
nations, coupled as it was with the ex-
preston of doubt about the ability of |
the mediators to perform the function
And there really is grave doubt whether
mediation Of this sort can result with
any degree Of satisfaction TO both parties. !.

The Split-Log Drag.

| III there is any virtue IN the split.lot
drag, and roadmakers the country over
agree that this simple implement works
wonders on dirt roads, this il the season
| for Vermont highway commissioners to
give it trial. Road builders in various
| parts of the country are claiming that
this easily constructed tool will do more
to put the ordinary country highway in
shape after the spring rains than will
any Of the new tangled road machines,
improved as they may be over the earlier
types, in the hands of inexperienced road
makers.
State Highway Commissioner Gates
has said that he finds increasing enthu-
siasm among the county officials in
charge of the states highways and 1t
may be suggested that in view of this
condition of optimism that the time is
opportune to preach the doctrine of the
split-log drag and preach it good and
strong. There are hundreds OF miles of
so called hack roads" upon which it
is probable that the state viii not ex-
pend any great amount of money for
many years to come and ii is upon these
highways that the drag can be made eff
fective, providing there is that efficacy
about the implement which is claimed
for it in other parts Of the country.
In addition to preaching this doctrine
what reason is there against putting
the sermon into practice and insisting
that county road commissioners use
certain amount of state funds to give
the split-log drag fair trial upon all
kinds of material, clay, gravel, sand and
the ordinary "plain dirtf'
The enthusiasm which the state high
way commissioner has noted among the
citizens of the state regarding good
roads will be multiplied many fold when
the farmer in the back towns finds his
road to the village can be improved at
what may be termed nominal expense
by the application of the split-log drag.
Give it trial.--Rutland Herald.

Invite vermonters to Return.

| Why not make the present year, the
coming summer season, a recordbreaker
30 far as Vermont can contribute TO the
| pleasure of the great army of tourists
which seeks the outdoors, the noun
tains, the lakes, the quiet OF the country.
Every town and city Of the state con-
tributes to the quota of exiles in other
states who have gone from Vermont and
who. for reasons of business, have be-
come estranged from their native state.
Suppose we make a concerted effort to
induce these exiles to return for a week,
month or for the season. 1t will not
REQUIRE n great deal of effort to write
letters to the sons and daughters of
Vermont in other states and urge them
to enlist in the army OF tourists to YER
mont this summer.
Write to them and tell them that we
want them to return this summer. Tell
them. for instance, that the shores of
Champlain are dotted with summer coli
onies where cottages may be rented at
reasonable figure, that since many of
these VermonteTs went away we have
built railroad across the islands in
Grand Isle county, thus opening to tour
lists section which is unrivalled as a
vacation spot Tor those who may be
wearied with the noise and CRIME of the
city Tell these wanderers from home
that our railroads make an effort
through the service of fast trains
to bring the tourist from the city to the
country in few hours.
Say to these former residents of Yer
mont that we have awakened to the
possibilities of the state as a mecca for
tourists, that we have sites TO sell for
summer homes, that we have improved
our roads, that many of the villages
from which they migrated years ago to-
day possess up-to-date water systems,
that trolley lines reach points which
they remember as isolated, that we have
built electric lighting plants in many
towns, that we are increasing the eff
cheney of our schools, that we are pros
porous and that we are increasing our
deposits in the savings banks. This sort
OF missionary work cannot but result
in increasing the number of summer Wis
itors this year. The result win be worth
the effort.--Rutland Herald.

The dastardly shooting Of Frank T..
Polk, corporation counsel for New York,
has been somewhat overlooked In the
rush of great international events, but
1t is pleasing to note that Mr.. Polk has
practically recovered from the effects of
the bullet which was intended for his
chief, Mayor Mitchell, and that be takes
the matter so calmly that he has re-
ceived The bullet set in the form of a
watch charm and was able to make light
remarks over the presentation. That
which is equally pleasing is that the
shooting has been fastened on no one
else, individuals or cliques, besides the
doddering man who imagined he had a
righteous grievance against the chief ex-
ecutive of New York City.

The Dartmouth medical school grad
uated five M. DIS last week Surely the
big medical schools Of the country can
not complain of numerical competition
from the Hanover institution. More
over, the number graduating probably
was not enough to fill the vacancies in
the profession in New Hampshire during
the interval from the last previous grad
uation, so the Dartmouth medical school
cannot be charged with Cutting the
market.
