Honesty in War.

The French marshal Turenne was
not only great general, but man
OF singular honesty of character as
Wen. Many incidents which are re-
lated OF him show his modesty, gener-
osity and honesty, as we'll as his
courage and military ability. A little
story of one of his German campaigns
illustrates his rare scrupulousness,
even in time OF war.
The authorities of Frankfort be-
heved, from the movements of his
army, that he intended passing through
their territory. They sent a deputa-
ton to him which offered him a large
sum of money if he would alter the
direction of his march, and leave
Frankfort unmolested.
They were surprised in more ways
than one by his answer. Gentle
men," said he, my conscience will
not permit me to accept your money,
Tor have never intended to lead nv
army through your town"

Editor of The Reformer:
Dear Sir:-While a good many are
much pleased with the acts of the leg
iSlature now in session | want TO crit
icise a little in their course in their
reconstruction Of the courts; but IL
they truly believed that the then Gov.
Fletcher, when he placed Judge Pow
ers at the head and advanced Judge
Taylor TO a position on the supreme
court. did not then think he was doing
good service to the state of Vermont.
! suppose they are right in their acts,
but if they did so believe, why did
they not undo all of that change, and
place Judge Taylor back on the SUI
perior court and place Judge Miles on
the supreme court and let Judge Wat
erman head the superior court? Who
shall say that it would not have
| pleased Judge Waterman just as much
80 be at the head OF that court as il
would Judge Munson to head the SUI
preme court! And certainly if age
should count, they must have overlook

age OF understanding, but it looks to {

If by agreeing to suspension of the
order calling for the construction of the
ovelpass Brattleboro people can bring
about the immediate erection of new
union passenger station and union
freight station the trade will no doubt be
considered generally satisfactory. But
from the standpoint of the railroads 1T is
difficult to appreciate the economy of this
arrangement. According to engineers es-
Inmates the overpass would cost $4,000,
but of this total S13, 100 would come
from the state of Vermont and $4,000
from the town of Brattleboro, leaving the
net cost less than $4,000 to be borne by
two separate railroad companies. In add.
ton, the cost Of gate-tender, which must
amount to several hundred dollars a year
would be saved, and the abolition of q
grade crossing here would obviate the ne
cessity and expense of getting rid of one
at some other point in the state, the Law
requiring that a certain number be abol
ished each year.

The sinking of three British mer-
chantmen within an hour s steaming
of Liverpool is serious menace to the
British overseas commerce as well as
the coasting and interisland service Of
the British Isles. The lanes of the
transatlantic steamships come within
striking distance of the place where
the German submarine U-21 ordered the
crews of vessels to abandon ship and
then put torpedoes into the hulls. The
whole exploit is so like these described
in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's antebell.
UNI story, Danger, that the novelist may
have been taken for model by the
German admiralty. If they can carry
out the plan described by the creator
of Sherlock Holmes in his startling
submarine story England may wei
tremble at the prospect.

Schoolboy Tactics.
Rutland Herald. J

1t is high time that the schoolbov
spirit which prompts the legislator to
quit committee work on Friday and go
home over Saturday and Sunday were
limited by a fixed rule.
When every important committee has
work before it, when a big, solid batch
of new measures have been newly
turned over to committees and when
the speaker has repeatedly called the
attention of members to the need of
Friday committee work, with clean
up on Saturday morning, it is difficult
to excuse the wasting of a full day,
as represented by the Friday adjourn
ments of the past two weeks.
No taxpayer begrudges the legisla-
tor his Sunday with his family at
home, but when it comes to adjourn
ment at , O'Clock Friday afternoon
without the slightest prospect of any
work being done before Monday after
noon, it is perhaps going further than
the most indulgent taxpayer could con
done.
Redfeld Proctor has proposed an ad
ditional rule for the House which
should have early consideration thi,
week. 1t is, in effect, that when tho
House adjourns on Saturday morning
it shall be to meet Monday afternoon
The adoption of this rule ought to d.
away with the hebdomadal Legislative
lcxodus on Friday afternoon and the re
sulting waste to the taxpayer of a
least $1,000.
Six honest days work is good har,
! week 5 work. but that is what the stat
is paying for. In fact, it is paying 70

A VALUABLE WORK.

Tho expansion of the work of the
national forest reservation commission,
created in 1911 to protect the water
sheds of navigable streams, is as the
New York Evening Post points
out the country's surest guarantee
against the misuse by corporations or
individuals of especially valuable for
ests. To date about 100000 acres
has been purchased or approved for
purchase mainly in the White noun
tains and the southern Appalaehians.
in some regions the policy of the
states in buying their own wild noun
tain lands makes federal action I'M
necessary, and it is always forbidden
until state consent is secured. Further
appropriations will be required for
some years, the department of agrieul-
ture having estimated that ultimate
ownership of 100000 acres in the
South and 100000 in New England is
necessary for full protection. By
these tracts scientific numbering Is
made possible, water and waterpoweI
conserved, and the usefulness OF the
forests in public recreation increased
Their wide distribution gives govern
ment agents opportunity to check for
est fires, and they serve as objectles
sons to private owners in forestry man
aeement. The report read in Congress.
on Tuesday shows that the price pale
by the commission, averaging 50 al
acre. is not excessive. The furtheranc'
of the growth of these forest reserva
tons is an essential work in stream
and timber construction; the safeguard
ing of timber tracts in the far Yves
from monopoly control IS a part o
this policy-for the corporations hav
been VIGOROUSLY wasteful-and Is j
addition a check upon the unequal dis
tribution of public wealth.

up a mail order business that employs
25 hands at Orleans and reaches by

Even this shall pass away
In the revels of his court,
At the zenith of the sport.
When the palms of all his guests
Burned with elapping at his jests,
He, amid his figs and wine,
Cried: "Oh, loving friends of mine,
Pleasure comes, but not to stay;
Even this shall pass away
Fighting on furious field,
Once a javelin pierced his shield
Soldiers with loud lament.
Bore him bleeding to his tent:

But, with patience day by day,
Even this shall pass away"

Twenty cubitS in the air,
Rose his statue, carved in stone;
Then the king, disguised, unknown,
Stood before his sculptured name,
Musing meekly: ''What is fame!
