Cheer Up !!

Nav Irwin, the apostle of sunshine and
good humor, has sent a letter to Presl-
dent Wilson encouraging him in his
course with reference to International
combinations. Incidently she makes a
happy suggestion that new department
be added to the government, to be known
as the Bureau of Laughter. Miss Irwin
fears that the President takes his heavy
responsibilities too seriously and she
would. through the medium OF kind OF
court Jester, wreath the Presidential tea-
lures in smile Aside from this function
of the official laugh promoter, it would
be the duty of the new smile department
to laugh from the Presidential presence
the glooms, the crap-hangers and busy
bodies who blot out the Chief Execu-
tive's joyness of life.
This is a recommendation worthy OF
consideration. The position taken by
the President with reference to the rela.
tions of this country with the warning
powers has not only protected the repub-
lie thus far against war, but has safe
guarded American rights and has pre-
served the nations honor and dignity.
The President has achieved great fame in
statecraft and he can afford to reflect in
his own too,so bervisage the smile of pub
lie approval
Let us have Federal Department of
Sunshine with May Irwin at its mead, ra-
dating happiness and good cheer to the
discontinue of the sombre crouch and
the pestiferous hypochondriac.

Experience of Great Value
From the St. Adams Messenger.

From the st. Adams Messenger.
"Somebody has started something
with the suggestion that Senator Carroll
S. Page would have opposition next
year. Names mentioned already are JUS
tce George M. Powers, Congressman
Frank L. Greene, former Gov. John A.
Mead, former Gov. E. c. Smith. and Per-
cival w. Clement. Probably each of these
gentlemen smiled when he saw his name
and forgot ."-Randolph Herald and
News.
1t isn't at all likely that any of those
in the mentioned list permitted them
selves to become even mildly excited
about it; they are all men of experience
and are not given to chasing political
firefies. 1t may be that Senator Page
will encounter opposition next year, but
as yet there is nothing tangible on which
to base such an assumption. The Yer.
habit of ousting a man just to give
somsone else SHOW" The conditions
at Washington are such that new COM
er is handicapped by his lack of expert:
ence and 1T requires some years tor a man
to...be thoroughly initiated so as to be
able to give his state the benefit of his
fullest capabilities. Experience counts in
the Senate, as elsewhere, and position
of real influence is not attained until
considerable time has been passed, Ver-
mont has recognized this fact repeatedly
and there is no question that the YER
mont custom of permitting the states
representatives in Congress to remain
year after year, so long as they acquit
themselves with credit, has been by far
the most important factor in making it
occupy place of Importance in the ma
tional councils far out of proportion to
the size of the commonwealth. 1t would
be great injury to the state if this Gus
tom were to be destroyed wantonly.

STATE SAVES $40, 900
Printed Report of the Insurance
Department Is Cut in Two
From Montpelier Argus

| Aioi NOhtPSHNi Eh'SNo
The annual report of the insurance
CO mmissioners jus. published is only hall
as large as it was a year ago, which
means a saving to the state in the print
| ing bill of $4,000 for the year, or about
81, 900 for the biennial period. The state
has saved about $4,000 by cutting down
the report of the state board of health,
hence on these two reports there will be
combined saving of $4,000 for the
biennial period. This saving came about
through the efforts of the state purchas-
ing department with the cooperation OF
the insurance commissioner and it was
done principally by condensing the re-
ports of the various companies All com.
panies doing business in the state are
reported in the book, but much matter
heretofore given has either been eliminat-
ed altogether or condensed.
Back in 1911 the report appeared in
one volume which contained 1888 pages
In 1912 the report was divided into two
Volumes, one OF WHICH CONTAINED IOF
pages and the other 1889 pages, total
of 1927 pages. The report for 1914 is
contained in one volume of 726 pages.
This has been done by the commissioners
also without emitting anything that was
absolutely essential.
Dewey T. Hanley, the purchasing agent,
had such good success with the report of
state board of health that he turned his
attention in other directions and found
in the insurance report that Vermont
was printing many pages of material
that was not to be found in the reports
of other states which received more in
fees than this state.
He took up the matter with the insur-
ance commissioners and after going over
the subject very thoroughly and with the
cooperation of the commissioners vol
ume was issued that cut the book that
had been printed for several years, in two
and in many ways is more acceptable
document because the information it con-
tains is in a more compact form.

The Presidents Triumph

Germany has accepted the Am erican
principle governing submarine operations
in the war zone as promulgated by Presi-
dent Wilson and steadfastly and unflinch-
ingly adhered to by him in the protracted
diplomatic exchanges between the two
nations. Germany, acc ording to the
formal note presented by the German
ambassador, guarantees hereafter not to
sink merchant ships without warning
and promises to safe guard the lives of
non-combatants and neutrals.
Thus President Wilson wins a great
moral and diplomatic triumph and by
patient, persistent devotion to principle
he gains by peaceful means and logical
argument what he sought and what the
country demanded. The jingoes and the
swashbucklers have been in full cry at
the Presidents heels clamoring for him
to act by force of arms lest the pacific ap-
plication of the rule of reason by Mr..
Wilson weaken the Republics repute in
the family of verile power. To the rant
ers for war Mr.. Wilson has tur ned a
deaf ear, and the results have thus far
justified his fidelity to lofty ideal. His
victory has restored the force of inter
national law, which has been fed and
fouted; he has effected recognition of
the claims of humanity and has COM
PEELED an admission that civilization is
not yet dead.
All this he has done without plunging
the country into a disastrous war.
Clearly Germany is convinced either OF
the righteousness Of the Presidents con-
tention or that the friendship and good
will of this country are worth preserving.

Some less than 100 automobile drivers
were recently arrested in Morrisvile for
not sounding their horns in rounding a
prominent corner in the business section.
Later the town officials asked the States
Attorney to suspend proceedings, but as
some had already plead guilty and paid
their fine and he could not refund he said
all should pay or stand trial. Itlooks now
as though the only way the automobilists
can get even is to obey the law-and raise
Hades by footing around that corner.
Level-headed business men say that prop
erty whereabouts won't be rentable if
every driver toots when he rounds that
corner.

tor G. S. Page expects to recommend

to the West Point Military Academy.
Captain Ira l.. Reeves, U. S. A., Pro-
fessor of Military Science and Tactics at
the University of Vermont, and Captain
J. l. Bond, U. S. Infantry, Inspector-In-
structor of Vermont Militia, have kindly
consented to take charge of the competi.
tive examination of those who wish to
compete for this appointment, and that
examination will be held at the Universe
ty of Vermont on Thursday. the 2Sth
day of October, 1915.
Any Vermont boy wishing to compete
for this place may rect assured that the
appointment will be made solely upon
merit and absolutely without reference
to political or other influence. The young
man who ranks highest in physical and
mental qualifications, if be comes within
the provisions of the army regulations,
receives the appointment. :. The men
standing I'd, Sd and 4th in the examina-
ton will be named as LIST, I'd and Sd alter
mates.

the examination.
Any young man who coDtemplates
competing for this position, and who will
write me thereof, will be furnished with
the printed information and regulations

ments to West Point.
