A Monument to Thrift.

Mary Ann Gamble started fund
for the Montpelier Home for the
Aged the other day with a gift of
$4,000. This woman is about 20
years old and retains the income of
the fund during her lifetime and the
use of whatever of the principal is
necessary for her support. She is
not widely known, even in her home
city, and has spent her life as a
"hired girl" and seamstress. Her in
come has always been small, un-
reasonably small some of the smart
ones would say, but by her thrift she
has accumulated this fund Of $4,000
which she proposes to leave as
benefit to others. 1t is a distinct
honor to Miss Gamble to be the
founder of such beneficial institu-
ton, especially with the small in
come she has always received. She
will be recognized now as a success
full woman.
Miss CANDLES success is due to the
fact that despite her small income
she kept her expenses smaller. She
was able to save a part of whatever
her income was and soon had little
fund that was earning money for her.
We fear this is almost a lost art.
The young man and young woman of
today thinks it much more essen
tial to keep up appearances than
to save from the income they re-
ceive. They practice no thrift. They
small salary will not pay even their
expenses. Therefore they never get
the savings started and soon lose
cash and credit. To such people
Miss Gamble presents the strongest
contrast and an example that it
would be wise for them to follow.
Thrift, if generally practiced,
might mean less automobiles, fewer
nights at the moving pictures, and
less whist but it would mean more
honest people, enough cash to en-
able any practical man to assume a
position as proprietor of a farm or
business and available funds to re-
pair the damages of disaster when
1t comes. 1t is sure to bring so
much greater and better results than
extravaganza and dishonesty that its
rarity is greatly to be regretted.
This little pile of life savings of
Miss Gamble stands out as a monu-
ment that can safely guide those OF
the younger generation who really
desire success.

The Massachusetts republicans
give every indication of coming
back in the state election next
month. First they nominated a good
man, Samuel w. Mccall. Then their
platform called for important re-
forms in compliance with popular de-
mands but explicitly excepted the
courts of the state from upheaval
through any constitutional change.
Both republicans and democrats have
declared for a constitutional con-
vention, for the short ballot and for
a state budget. The democrats have
endorsed President Wilson for re-
nomination for president and the
republicans condemn the democratic
tariff and weak foreign policy, es-
pecially the dealing with Mexico. The
stands on national matters give the
republicans the advantage and the
liberal position on state matters is
bringing former progressives back in
to the republican fold in large num-
bers.
1t seems probable that many of
the progressives will agree with JOS
eph Walker in his letter to Mr.. Nc
Call when he says:
81 pledge to you and to the re-
publican party my active support IN
the coming campaign. Most of
the leaders of the progressive party
have privately or publicly admitted
the futility of further attempts to
establish a new party. The logic OF
events clearly shows this to be true.
Further allegiance to the progress
sive party therefore amounts TO
mere obstruction. Further fighting
obviously means, not the success OF
the progressive party, but merely the
defeat of the republican party.
am unwilling to be used by those
who would thus play directly into
the hand of the democratic party.
The welfare of this country and It's
progress and prosperity in the fu-
ture now lie in the success of a lid
eralized, forward-looking republican
party. The evidence Of new spirit
and of wiser counsels is seen in the
action of the recent republican con-
vention in this Commonwealth. !
look forward to a reunited and
strengthened party in 1916"
The political situation looks good

with the judicial sense of things,
where he may go, with or without
an attorney, plead his own cause and
get results, all in the equivalent of
time that he himself would take to
swap a horse. For instance, the
storekeeper has a claim against a
hired man for a pair of rubber boots
and the amount of the claim is, say,
three dollars. What court could the
claimant get into and out of with
that claim for the amount Of it?
Make the bin thirty dollars would
he be any better off under our NUM-
cipal court system? Make it three
hundred dollars and think over his
situation a few minutes and ask
yourselves if we have yet struck the
right lead in our judicial reforms.
While much good has been accom-
pIshed in the line of court reform
it is evident the work is not complete.
The establishment of municipal
courts was the greatest piece Of graft
and expense to be charged to the
last legislature Vermont did not
need more judges, it needs less. To
go on and create more judges and
give them the power to make the
same rules that have proven too ex-
pensive and cumbersome in the high
er courts was a serious blunder and
one that should be corrected by the
next legislature. The kind of courts
Mr.. Watson suggested would give any
man an opportunity to have his
claims weighed by another and
something like justice done to him
at once. Court reform promises to
continue a live topic in Vermont.

An Ungracious Surrender.

The disavowal of the sinking OF
the Arabic and the granting OF all
demands made by the United States
by Germany last week was a com
nIete surrender on the part of that
country. Yet it cannot be called a
great surrender because Germany
gave up only the most unreasonable
and inhuman attitude civilized ma
ton has ever attempted to maintain.
The attack upon the Arabic was one
of the most senseless acts of the war
to that time. The brazen and IN
reasonable excuses offered to TINS
government for such piracy was even
moro senseless and disgusting to all
lovers of decency. therefore Inc
compliance with the demands OF the

Court Reform Again.

The plea of Charles d. Watson,
alton, in his annual address before
that body for informal court pro-
cedure in cases with small amounts
involved shows that lawyers them
selves are beginning to appreciate
the value of cheaper and swifter
court procedure. He showed un-
mistakably that man with a small
amount in dispute or the poor man
had absolutely no appeal to justice
owing to the costly and cumbersome
rules of the courts. He speaks of the
recent municipal court law as fol-
lows:
In Vermont recent legislation has
effected a radical change in our judi
cial procedure; but it is doubtful if
it will help the two classes of per-
sons who most need cheap and quick
administration of justice. A great
opportunity for a real reform was
lost or not even realized, perhaps,
when the law governing municipal
courts was also amended.
Here was a chance to cut on the
ponderous trappings of technical
pleading, of judicial aloofness and Sc
verify and make a real human in
stitution of the lesser court. But in
stead of relief we get a worse con-
dition, for now the judges of the
little courts have assembled and
solemnly enacted a set of rules
which further discourage the man
with the small purse or the small
claim.
He commented on the attempts at
judicial reform in Vermont as fol-
lows:
The public disquietude over the
laws delays arises not so much from
the time or money consumed IN
causes of great Importance, involv-
ing large sums of money or new aQ-
plications of old principles. 1t
arises and cries for remedies because
there IS no justice right on the
bat" as Herbert Harley says, for the
little fellow with the small claims |;
because there is no tribunal with the
human attributes of the mixer, but

United States was yielding no right,
rather a discontinuance of most rep
rehensible conduct.
That Germany has solemnly prom
ised to discontinue attacks on un-
armed merchant vessels is of course
satisfactory; that President Wilson
has succeeded in getting Germany to
make these promises will of course
be heralded as a great victory for
him and his policy. But no man
should have demanded less than
President Wilson and no nation Cd
earth would dare refuse those de-
mands because they were right. We
never understood how Germany dar-
ed assume such reprehensible posi-
lions as she did and evidently she
did not dare try to defend them long.
She astonished the world with the eff
frontery she showed America and her
final surrender was too long delayed
to bring her any honor or sympathy.
She still stands before the world as
heathenish in her methods of war
fare and her complete humiliation by
the Allies is the only result of the
war that will satisfy the rest of the
civilized world.

corn, 81, O53, 200 worth of oats, ST.

These figures represent the farm val
