THE REQUIREMENTS OF HONOR

It's only matter of thinking right,
It's only the way that you look a
things,
It's only yourself that you have tc
fight
When an easier way the temptel
brings.
1t isn't difficult thing to do
If you stop to think as you go along;
The crossing roads shouldn't puzzle
you,
It's easy to choose right from
wrong.
Decency isn't lifelong task,
It's only matter of thinking right,
It's only yourself that you have to ask
When you face a deed that may
bring a blight.
It's only an instant from right to
wrong,
Though oft, indeed, must the choice
be made,
If you stop to think as you go along
You will never while that your feet
have strayed.
Honor's thing that we all can keep,
Howe'er we differ in strength and
brain,
Decency isn't so vague or deep
That man should needlessly take a
stain.
The line is sharp and the line is clear
As the day is never confused with
night,
It isn't so hard to be honest here,
It's only a matter of thinking right.

SUMNER TRAVEL

Vermont is now at it's best, from
natures standpoint. The abundant
rains have given the landscape an un-
usual emerald. The roads are in gooo
condition, without heavy mud or dust
1t is joy to travel through the state
by any form of conveyance. Visitors
voice their delight over Vermont's
charms. There ought to be big reg

is large, but not what it should be.
Lakes Champlain, Memphremagog,
Willoughby, Caspian and scores Of
others, and the scenic centers of the
mountains should be crowded with
thousands of tourists and sojourners.
Where there are ten there should be
one hundred. Vermont has far more
than New Hampshire to offer in
everything save the rugged barrenness
of high mountains, which soon pals.
What is the matter with the sum-
mer business in our state Several
things. First is a lack of knowledge
on the part Of the great travelling pub
lie concerning what Vermont really
has and is. We do not get credit for
anything like our just deserts. If
Vermont is ever thought Of, it is as
a decadent section where conditions
are primitive and comforts lacking.
Its peoples are regarded as somewhat
above the level of poor whites Of the
South, but objects of commiseration
rather than congratulation. To most
tourists there is nothing in their con-
ception Of Vermont--in reality mis-
conception-that appeals to them as
place in which to enjoy themselves.
The remedy for this condition is
of the right sort and kind
rhe populous centers must be reached

laims the public's eye. The states

Washington, August lS.--Although
war orders have turned the balance of
trade in favor of the United States
and this country is enjoying prosper
ity in spots, there is accumulating eyi-
dence that this sort Of prosperity is Of
no permanent value tothe people Of
the United States. The spotted char

very quiet A general dearth OF build

able reports come alike from the fish
cries Of Oregon, Washington, the
Gulf, and along the Atlantic Coasts.
Manufacturing varies much ac-
cording TO the articles made, though
in general it is very quiet. Steel and
iron business shows distinct improve
ment with increasing orders. Busi-
ness Of cotton and wooden mills is only
fair. Those manufacturers in differ
ent sections who have orders for war
contracts are exceedingly busy. Fur
niture business in Michigan, northern
Indiana, and Chicago is alike dull.
Paper mills are running only three
quarters time. Cement factories and
those making bricks and tile report
only fair business. The oil industry
as a whole is exceedingly dull. There
is very little demand for railroad
ties"
In general, the agricultural outlook
is good, owing to favorable weather
conditions, but with manufacturing at
a low level the farmers will have to
look to Europe for their market.
Victor Marowetz, one of the abest
economists in the United States, sees
no cause for congratulation in the
huge war orders that are pouring into
this country. at is plain that up to
the present time the war in Europe
has not increased material prosperity
in the United States" he declared.
"This is shown by the widespread un-
of labor, by the large
falling off in the production of basic
raw materials of industry-such as
iron, steel, coal, and lumber-and by
the prevailing general depression of |
business.
"a large foreign trade balance in
favor of the United States will not Of
itself bring us prosperity. In the
future as at the present time a large
trade balance may be more than off
set by lessening of production of
forms of wealth that do not enter into
foreign trade. In this connection it
should not be overlooked that an in
crease of the prices of foodstuffs and
other products does not represent a
gain to the people of the United
States, except as to the small portion
If these foodstuffs and other products
hat can be exported.
"Most of the foodstuffs and other
hings produced by us are required
or consumption at home, and any in
rease of their prices must be paid by
he people Of the United States. Thus,
20 per cent of our wheat crop
hould be exported, so per cent in
rease of the price of wheat would
epresent gain to the United States ,
f the increased price of only the 20 {
er cent of the crop. The profit re- t
eived by our farmers from the sale of g
of their crop at the increas- q
d price would have to be paid by con-
umers in the United States, and prin-
ipally by the laboring classes" (

"We have gathered here to dedicate

notable event in Vermont history.

spot for even the most careless and

ster as the greatest orator America
ever produced, and urged that meas
ures be taken for remedying condi-
tions which have resulted in so many
abandoned farms.
Attorney James X. Batchelder Of
Arlington, addressed the meeting
briefly. He said that his father and
others had told him that the reason
why Stratton was selected for the
Webster meeting was because it was
the most convenient for persons liv-
ing on both sides of the mountain
range. He said that his information
was that the reports of an attendance
of $4,000 were not exaggerated, but
that the actual attendance was nearer
10000. Mr.. Batchelder said that there
was plenty Of cider in the old log
cabin, but that it became scarce to-
ward the close Of the meeting and a
rule was made that no one would be
admitted to the cabin unless he agreed
to vote for Harrison. The results in

GEN. CABRAL RESIGNS
 QUITS ARMY FOR GOOD

TUCSON, Feb. 25.-Genearl Juan Cabral, a commander of the Villaista forces, has left the army, according to a letter received here from friend of Governor Maytorena. Cabral is said to have resigned his commission in the army and will take no further part in the warfare now going on in Mexico
 Within the past few days Cabral met Maytorena at Nogales and had a conference with him. It was reported that the differences existing between the two were patched up. When here short time ago, Cabral told a friend that he was anxious to get out of the warfare in Mexico and the letter re- ceived here yesterday shows that he has carried out his intentions.
 The troops brought by Cabral from Sonora are to be sent south to meet Iturbe and his Constitutionalists who are reported to be closing in on Quay mas. It is said by Mexican people here who are interested in the situa- tion that if Iturbe takes Guaymas, MT. MaytoTena will soon be forced to give up Sonora to the Constitutionalists.

PREPAREDNESS FUR WAR"
 BY THEODORE ROOSEVELT

On this subject the head of Colonel Roosevelt is eminently level says Goodwins Weekly.
 From the experience which the pre- sent European war supplies, he sees clearly enough that pledges do not bind nations and believes that while unprepared, we are liable to attack from any power which thinks it to it's own interest to attack us, and that our unpreparedness to meet such an emergency provides an invitation for such attack. In his last book he says:
 The most important lesson for the United States to learn from the pre- sent war is the vital need that it shall at once take steps to prepare. Pre- paredness against war does not always avert war or disaster in war, any more than the existence of a fire depart ment-that is of preparedness against fire always averts fire. But it is the

 MT. Manlove comes to Yuma very highly recommended and will no doubt give the theatre goers a very good high class show.
 Owing to the fact that MT. Manlove is the third and last installment of the Elks' Redpath Lyceum Course, the price of admission which has been one dollar will be reduced to half price or fifty cents, in order to let every one see this wonderful character.

only insurance against war, and the only insurance against overwhelming disgrace and disaster in war. Prepar- edness usually averts war and usually prevents disaster in war; and always prevents disgrace in war. Uuprepar- edness has not the slightest effect in averting war. Its only effect is inl- mensely to increase the likelihood of disgrace and disaster in war.
 In 1914 this nation was paying for it's folly in having for fourteen years conducted it's foreign policy, and re- fused to prepare for defense against possible foreign foes, in accordance with the views of the ultra-pacificist of that day. It behooves us now, in che presence of a world war even vaster and more terrible than the world war of the early nineteenth cen tury, to beware of taking the advice of the equally foolish pacificists of our own day.
