CURRENT COMMENT
Springfield and the GOvernorship.

The article which appears in another
column, from the Springfield Reporter,
proves conclusively that the gubernato-
rial boom of James Hartness is fairly
well launched. so far as his home paper
is concerned; and the launching does
ample credit alike 10 the distinguished
prospective candidate and the loyalty of
the Reporter to a citizen who fully mer-
its such support.
But the esteemed contemporary mis-
interprets the Tribune's attitude when
il intimates that we administered
"cool bath" in our initial paragraph con.
corning the mention Of Mr.. Hsrtness'
name. We do not remember that, "all
things being equal The Tribune has
ever administered a cold bath 90 any
which looked TO the prefer
ment OF Windsor county, politically or
in any other way; and we are by no
means ready 20 turn on the hose in the
present situation. a time when call
things" are certainly equal" as they
have been before.
The Tribune takes no issue with the
Reporter a. TO the desirability Of re-
garding fitness before location. We have
even been inclined 20 consider that much-
discussed mountain rule a. more or
less favored with foolishness. But the
contemporary viii no doubt recall that.
IN divers occasions, when political pref.
srment has been under consideration,

THE ILL.ADvISED MR.. FORD.

1t would be reasonable to assume that
if things had been going well with Henry
Ford and his peace expedition, if there
had been no diseord among the members,
if the expedition had been received with
out reservation by the neutral countries
of Europe, if there was promise of com
pletion of the work roughly mapped out
1T would be reasonable to assume that
state of collapse would not have come
to the titular leader of the campaign.
The very sweep of success, otherwise,
would have carried the leader along with
it by mere exuberance of spirit, by in
toxication of accomplishment. Yet Henry
Ford is hurrying homeward just as fast
as steam can bring him; and we doubt
not that to his distraught mind the ship
is making but snail-paced progress. He
is hurrying to that refuge-home-where
he can hide his disappointment, calm his
taut nerves and recuperate in body with
out fear OF molestation. No one be-
grudges Mr.. Ford his promised solace in
that home He has earned IL, earned il
after meeting a crushing opposition when
he Jared forth in the consciousness OF
great individual triumph in a field en-
tirely dissociated from that Of peace
making and after installing that money
his puny money-was all-powerfuL IL
has been a serious lesson 20 Mr.. Ford. /
His purpose to conclude the European
war was commendable. His judgment Of
he way 10 do il was very poor.

to Mr.. DeBoer, who for a quarter Of q
century, while working through the va
rious official grades and, finally, serving
as president, gave extremely intelligent,
as well as whole hearted, service.
Indeed, that very devotion to the trust
reposed in him was in large measure re-
sponsible for the fact that Vermont had
not exacted service which the common
wealth might have been expected to de-
mand of citizen of his capacity. Not
until recent years had Mr.. DeBoer felt
justified in relaxing to certain extent
from the strain incident to that trust;
but whenever he had seen his way clear
to engage in official position in public
life he had given that same measure of
keenness and of thoroughness which were
dominant characteristics in his business
career and which caused his official life
likewise to be marked with success--with
so much success, in fact, that it seemed
almost a foregone conclusion that he
would be honored by selection to serve
the state in higher positions, first inside
the state and then, no doubt, in the ma
tional capital That death should have
cut him short before that which seemed
to be the full fruition OF his work ap-
peals as an especially serious loss to
those outside the immediate sorrowing
family, to those who had known him as
a strong citizen rather than as an init. |
mate. But despite the seeming incom-
pletion of what might be considered
reasonable destiny for a man of his
stamp, Joseph Arend DeBoer nevertheless
leaves a record of achievement which will |
make a deep impress the record of the
little alien boy from Holland who came
to the great United States and who
largely by his own efforts, raised him
self to a position of distinguished inhu-
anee in the life of the state, a state which
he had adopted as his own with all the
fervor and patriotism OF the native born.

JOSEPH AREND DE BoER.

One Of Vermont's ablest men has gone
u might perhaps be said that Vermont's
ablest man has gone. Joseph Arend De

which made him almost. if not quite, a

warnings have been given to the occu-
pants of the threatened ships? Why do
not the other neutral governments of the
world join with the United States gov
eminent in protesting to Berlin and vi
emma when the outrages occur? The
United States has no monopoly of the
desire, to maintain world cieiliza-
tion, nor has it the sole responsibility
for such maintenance. Possibly there
would be added leverage upon the gov
ernments at Berlin and Vienna if some
of the other neutral nations, like Nor

full protest now and then.

Confidence in the future Of the Barre
granite industry is constantly being
solidified and added strength is now Civ
en- to il by the entry of more new capital
into the vast operations being conducted
on Milestone hill, with the attendant
promise that an enlargement of activities
on one particular quarry property will
come in due season. IL is especially
pleasing 20 Vermont people because OF
the fact that the present requirement of
an interest in the Barre granite quarries
means that Vermont money is being d.
rected toward investment in Nermonts
resources which might have been sent to
some far distant point and thus have
detracted Just 20 much from the up
