JAIL FOR CRIMINAL CONSULS

There seems to be no question in
the minds of the officials Of the De-
partment of Justice that foreign
consular representatives here guilty
Of operating fraudulent passport
mills, of financing and directing
plots to blow up and burn industrial
plants and merchant ships, Of violat-
ing any law, State or Federal, that
they needed to violate in the pro-
motion Of their conspiracies can be
punished with Jail terms just as
surely as the men they hired to do
the actual work Of setting off the
bombs or setting the fires.
Then what the American people
want is that before any Of their
agents the consular representatives,
whoever they may be, get quickly
searted for and securely delivered
into convict stripes.

GENERAL CARTaR'S SERVICE

Tho passing Of Maj. Gen. WILL
liam H. Carter from the active to
the retired list Of the American
army has taken from the service one
Of its most brilliant figures. To him
as much as to any officer is due the
top-notch efficiency Of our present
little army.
General Carter began his military
career when twelve years old as a
mounted messenger in 1864. His
soldierly qualities, however. became
nationally known years later in the
various Indian campaigns In the
West. When lieutenant. in 1881.
young Carter won the Medal of
Honor, the highest tribute which can
be paid to an American soldier. for
rescuing wounded comrades in the
face Of an almost annihilating fire
from Apaches.
General Carter is especially to be
praised for his work in devising and
putting into operation the general
staff law and for his part in the re-
organization of the army in 1901.
He has published a book on the
American army which, if read from
one end Of the country to the other.
would give the public an unanswer-
able argument against those opposed
or Indifferent to national safety
measures. 1t does not stop at de-
scribing the present dangers to the
country, but suggests detailed reme-
, dies for the situation. The CONT
mental army was appraised and rec
commended in certain ways by Gen
eral Carter long before Secretary
Garrison thought Of the subject
Although the general is no longer
to be active in the official military
affairs of the nation there are indi'
cations that his interest in and value
to our defense system will be con-
tinued in his writings. 1t is not i'm
possible that his pen may bear upor
the policies and problems OF land
forces as Admiral Mahan's did upor
naval affairs, both In this country
and abroad.

founding of Smith & Sons cracker
and candy business and President
Robert E. Smith has decided to have
general observance of the ami
versary in which all his employees.
customers and friends will take part.
The celebration will be held Satur-
day, August FL, at the State Fair
grounds, and will be an all day af-
fair, with athletic contests, a base
ball game, parade that will show
the history of the business and
dancing in the evening. 1t was in
1915 that a man named Symmes
founded at Hanover the cracker fac
tory which in 1897 came into the
possession of E. K. Smith, grand
father of the present proprietor, Rob
ert E. Smith. Mr.. Smith had a bak-
cry at Bath, N. H., before moving to
Hanover at that time. About this
same period a man named Sturte-
want conducted candy shop in Han
over and early in the 40's the elder
Mr.. Smith bought out Sturtevant and
com bined the candy with the cracker
business. George w. Smith, father
of the present proprietor, went into
the business in 1857, and it was
moved from Hanover to its present
site in the Junction in 1871. The
first Junction building, burned to the
ground in 1884, was on the corner
leading to the culvert In 1892 Rob-
ert E. Smith went into the business
with his father, and at the latter's |
death took entire charge of affairs, |
which he has maintained ever since. |
Last Friday the Burlington Mer- |
chants association went on a "bet-
ter acquaintance" tour through the
islands, visiting Isle La Motto, and !
taking dinner at Island Villa on
Grand Isle. Fifty-four men went on
the trip from Burlington and a
of business men from the
islands took dinner with them at
the hotel. In the speeches after the
dinner matters of general interest
were discussed.
In the somnolent hamlet of North
is a tree climbing dog,
the property Of w. L. Plumley, nam
ed "Geranium Bill" though it is
usually called plain BILL" No cat
ever went up a pole with more sure
footedness than that displayed by
Bill in climbing the trees in front
Of his owners house. His method
Of climbing is to take a run and by
means Of the impetus gained ascend
the tree trunk to the first branch.
From there up his method of climb
ing is indescribable. The highest
climb he ever made was 80 feet
Veterinarians and others who have
examined the dogs feet are at a loss
TO understand how he grips a tree
trunk in climbing. His nails are like
hose of the ordinary dog, though
possibly a trife more pointed, and
The f1eshy pads of his feet are per-
1aps little broader. So accustom-
I'd to height is Bill that he sleeps {
IN tree branches 20 feet above the
ground. He is three years old and /
part pug and part bull.
