terms of that court and one OF whom
court, would be sufficient to handle all
business necessary TO come before the
supreme and county courts of Vermont.
We believe that minor crimes and
minor civil cases should be handled as
they are now by court of lower juris-
diction. The presiding officer may be
called municipal judge or justice of
the peace, but should not be paid stat
ed salary. He should be allowed COM
pensation for time actually spent in
hearing cases and fees for the issuance
of necessary papers and all bills APP
proved by the state auditor. In all
minor civil cases the parties in dispute
should be allowed to present their case
without the employment of an attorney
and the case decided upon questions of
fact rather than law. No appeal should
be allowed where the sum in dispute is
below a specified sum.
We have outlined an extensive re-
organization of the department of
justice. In our ignorance we may have
made unwise suggestions but we have
had only one purpose in view and that
is quicker and cheaper justice in Yer
mont If any of our suggestions are
shown to be inimical to that purpose we
will withdraw them but they are offered
at this time for thought and discussion
in the hope the people will be ready to
act wisely on the issues they present
when the next legislature meets.-St.
Johnsbury Caledonian.

The Progressiyes of Vermont have
spoken in no uncertain tone. They are UNI
alterably opposed to amalgamation
whether sugar-coated with non partisan
ship or in any other form. Such senti-
ment has become very pronounced as
discussion has clarified the situation
and it found definite expression in the
Brattleboro resolution.
The Advance, in this as on other ques-
tions, has taken the position that in
mastery OF party policy, upon which men
may honestly differ, it's duty is to pre-
sent or give opportunity to both sides,
taking up the fight only when party
sentiment has become clear II is the
organ OF no faction but hopes to be a
leader of the party.
We are glad of the outcome 1t means
straight fight with no entangling al
liances and with undivided forces. Pro-
gressives who have been tried by fire will
be selected for every Office from United
States senator down. 1t means victory
this year we think, but if not so soon
there are worse things than defeat.-The
Advance.

rhe pepartment Of Justice.

The department Of justice in the gov.
eminent of Vermont is in the unusual
and quite humiliating position OF being
out of money and unable to pay bills
as they become due. 1t SENS that the
sum OF S350,000 was appropriated for
this department up to July | OF this
year and it was supposed the legislature
had made ample provision for the sup
port of the department but on June
the fund will be more than exhausted.
Only one item has received much at
tention as yet, nearly $4,000 for detec-
tive services spent between July |, 1913
and April 30, 1914, but apparently TINS
unusual expense does not equal the
shortage in the department. Of this item
Attorney General Brown has promised
full statement and, as he requests,
we refrain from further comment until
both sides have been heard.
But the enormous cost Of this 'de-
partment, especially the rapid increase
shown during the past decade, will at
tract attention and discussion from now
on. Here are some things the depart
ment must show; that the office OF at
torney general is a necessity and that
the attorney general has accomplished
enough TO warrant the continuance OF
that office; that the expense of main
tanning a supreme court of five members
and county courts with seven superior
judges is necessary to secure quick and
acurate justice in Vermont; that munie-
ipal courts with judges under salary and
increased expense are performing better
service than could be given by local
judges working on a per diem basis; and
that the legal technicalities attached TO
present methods of court procedure are
necessary requirements in securing
Justice.
1t may not be fair to comment on the
above suggestions until the department
of Justice has made answer to these
questions, but some suggestions already
occur to our mind We believe that
nine judges of the supreme court of
Vermont. five of whom may sit as
judges of the supreme court at the stated

IMMUNITY AT SEA.
Against Best Interests of the United
{. States, Saws Wainwright.

+ States, Says Wainwright.
Mohonk Lake. n. Y, May 29.-Rear
Admiral Richard Wainwright, Y. S. n.
retired, addressed the Lake Mohonk con-
ferences on international arbitration
here yesterday on Immunity of Private
Property at Sea-" To agree to such i'm
munity. he said, would be against the
best interests of the United States.
This country had been a leading ad-
vocate of the principle for years be-
lieving such inviolability would tend to
smeliorate war. The few ships the
United States has in the foreign trade,
and the comparative strength of her
navy, place her in very different posi-
tion from that she occupied when the
principle was first advocated, he said.
But it is not from a national stand
point alone that we should no longer
advocate this doctrine. Anything that
is not utterly barbarous, that tends to
shorten war, is of world advantage. ANY
regulation that tends to increase the
duration of war is inhuman"
He declared that seizure of the
enemy's ships was neither barbarous nor
inhuman, "and the universal practice of
war insurance removes the loss, in case
of seizure, from the individual and dis
tributes it among the general public
who must be made to feel the stress of
war, if there is TO be a reasonable limit
to its duration. The fear of such seizure
tends to prevent war and the actual
seizure tends to shorten and thus anne
lorate war"

If Greece wishes to buy the older bat
tleships which the United States is
about ready to throw on the junk heap,
it may be good business move to sell
the ships at reasonable consideration.
Sentiment might stand in the way of
such disposal of the nations passing de-
tenders, but sentiment is weakened
force when the nation is building one or
two new battleships year and passing
the older vessels into the discard just
about as swiftly. The United States
cannot afford to maintain collection OF
disabled warships merely as curios.
Therefore, instead of turning the vessels
into junk it would be better to sell them
to one of the smaller nations that is
content to take an older fighting ma
chine.

ALLEGED HOG CHOLERA CURES.
Government Has Not Approved Any
Treatment Except Serum.

Evidence of what appears to be
well organized campaign to delude farm
ers throughout the country into buying
an alleged cure for hog cholera. under
the impression that this has been inves-
tigated and approved by the United
States government, has reached the de-
psrtment OF agriculture. Articles prais-
ing this medicine, benetol by name, are
being sent out widespread to news
papers These articles are so worded
that it appears as if the department of
agriculture had received reports from the
state of Minnesota showing that the
medicine had proved most beneficial.
As matter of fact the one report re-
ceived BY the department was an UNI
official and unsolicited statement sent
presumably from the promoters them
selves. The department attaches no i'm
portance whatsoever to this statement.
II has no reason to believe in the eff
cheney of any proprietary cure for hog
cholera and does not recommend any.
Under certain conditions it urges farm
ers to protect their stock with anti-hog
cholera serum but that is all
In connection with this attempt it
may be said that the medicine, which is
now put forward as good for hogs, was
advertised some time ago as means
of killing tuberculosis, typhoid, and can
Ger germs, according to an article pub
lished in the journal OF the American
Medical association. At that time il
was asserted that the army was in
terested in it. As the department of
agriculture is now.
In view OF the evidence that the at.
tempt to create this false impression is
persistent and widespread, all hog
owners are warned to communicate
with the United States authorities be
fore accepting as true any statement
that the government recommends any
treatment other than the serum already
mentioned.

1t is hard to believe that Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle was speaking in all serious
ness when he predicted that lynching
would follow in the case of some of the
more rabid of the militant suffragettes
in England because the patience of the
people there had been worn to the limit
of endurance. Sorely tried as must be
the indulgence of the general public by
the unlawful acts of the women, it would
be black disgrace on the nation if such
extreme retribution should be worked out
on the deIuded women--even blacker
than the disgrace which falls upon the
United States every time there is a
lynching of a member of the colored race.
Great Britain's good sense will be relied
upon to stop the performance of any
such dire act as Conan Doyle is reported
to have suggested as likely on his ar
rival in the United States on Thursday,
after an absence of score Of years.

employees of the ship, if not already on
deck when the collision came, were in u
position to ascend very soon, thus giving
them chance for their lives as the ship
went down. That explains why so many
of them were picked out OF the water
by the rescuing boats. Indeed, all the
evidence at hand does not point to cow
ardice or sayagery on the part of the
crew or officers. That is bright spot
in an otherwise terrible, terrible occur
renee.
