CURRENT COMMENT
Irishmen in the War.

Some Englishmen who have let their
memories get to work in the midst of
all the war excitement have recalled
that a year ago this time the United
Kingdom was agitated by what the
Liberals called The Ulster plot" when
so many officers rendered their resigna-
tons rather than take part in coereing
Ulster. Then Great Britain seemed on
the verge of civil war, and foreign OBJ
servers not familiar with the British
love of compromise looked for revolution.
OF the officers who then were
recalcitrant, Sir John French is in com.
mand of the British forces in France;
Sir John Ewart is commander, in-chief
in Scotland; General Cough is the head
of division on the Franco Belgian from.
tier. All of them are fighting as emer-
getieally as if they had never heard of
the Ulster controversy. Meanwhile John
Redmond is stimulating recruiting in
Ireland and addressing war meetings.
All this goes to show that family diff
Guilty can be settled in moment when
stranger seeks to take advantage of
it, for undoubtedly the recalcitrsnt spirit
of the British army led many Germans
to underestimate its discipline and ell
cheney. and to believe that Irish senti.
ment might be invoked in their favor.
Ireland. which was full of disafiection a
year ago, is to-day bubblng over with
loyalty.-Boston Transcript

A feature of the prohibition trend in
European countries that has not appealed
to a great many people is contained in
the following brief statement by the
Springfield (Mass,l Republican;
Perhaps motives are less important
than results, but the fact stares one in
the face that this demand for prohibition
in the countries at war is based solely
on the M I'D desire to lick somebody. The
moral uplift of mankind is not sought
so much as the scalp of the enemy.
In other words, they are going to be
good, not because they want to be good
but because they think they viii have a
little more strength with which to pound
the other fellow into insensibility. There
j. grave doubt, therefore, whether that
kind OF reform viii be anything more
than feeting, something that will be
swept away once the necessity for it
seems to have been removed.

The Massachusetts, Legislature should
have its attention called to the many
fine things the press is saying about the
Vermont legislature, which has just adj

sions in many years. The briefer the
legislative sessions the better the public
seems to like them.-Boston Traveller.
The Vermont legislature had quite a
number of characteristics which caused
it to be commended to the people of Yer

its comparative brevity was one of the
most pleasureable features connected
Herewith which makes Vermont glad to-

BY refusing to furnish the money by

of the state board OF health to equip a
school building with new ventilating APP

state board. The result is that the state
board has given Rutland year in which
to make the changes, showing that the
state board is amenable to reason.

would be wise to provide for a COM

problem that lies at the very foun-

results and has fully justified the

whether there is anything else we can

Mss Ethel Everett, county super
intendent of schools, is planning a.
ready TO interest the county schools
/ in exhibiting at the 1916 Fair, and
hopes TO have twice as many repre-
sented as this year. Twenty-siS
schools competed this year.
Future elections will see Lynden
divided into two precincts, if the
town follows law passed by the
last legislature City Attorney r
Z LeCocq has already received no.
| tice from the county commissioners
asking that the division be made.
The law requires that all towns of
over 400 voters be cut into two pre-
cincts. and as Lynden had 419 votes
at the last election, it comes under
the new provision. This means that
the town will have to go to the ex-
pense of BUYING an extra set of reg
istration books. and must pay an
extra set of judges and election Of

conference the best report that we
