Why don't more young men, who
lcannot see their way clear to go to
college and enter the overcroWded
professions or the business arena
where competition and lack of capital
lputs so many through bankruptcy,
talks up some OF the trades which
are crying for good men. Carpentry,
blacksmithing, printing and other
trades are in constant need OF men
who are capable; men who have TAX
en- time to learn their trade thorough
ly from the bottom up; men who are
honest. The Monitor knows of few
il only such men in this part of the
country who are long out of work and
the price paid is usually substantial.
The Monitor is speaking of men who
know their trades. There are too
many men now who slight their APP

Too many young men are misled by

Because he was shot by drunken
| employe of a railroad company, Her
bert A. Staten, who at the time was
| the station agent at Vernon, has
brought a suit against the Central
Vermont to recover $4,000 damages
The suit is brought under a Vermont
law which provides that if a railroad
company employees in responsible
positions men who are known to be
habitual users of intoxicating liquors
it lays itself liable to fine ranging
| from $500 to $4,000 and also to the
collection of damages by person
injured through the retention of such
employe. Slowly, but surely econo-
mic conditions in this country are
building stone wall to exclude from
positions of responsibility the man
who uses intoxicating liquor
and from the good Jobs
to which every competent work
man and employee aspires. Or
ganized society is beginning to
realize that it should no longer carry
all the load that the use of liquor has
laid upon it and the recognition OF
this fact is one of the elements that
is going to figure largely in the pro-
gress toward temperance in coming
years. Competition in all lines OF
business is stronger and at the same
time the population of the country is
increasing. The law of supply and
demand regulates labor as it does
every other market and only the No
and the extra good command the
high prices. For the inefficient, for
the worker whose capacity to pro-
duce is DECREASED by the use of liquor,
the market for the sale of his ser
vices is not SO extensive as it once
was and the ultimate end is the hu.
man scrap heap, or at the best a pre-.
earious existence,

Stupendous events of the worlds greatest war
have brought to the United States nation neu=
trail and at peace with every other nation, condi-
tons unique in its history. The country is
swarming with propagandists, seeking to influence
the thoughts of the people and the policies Of
their government. Organizations of sudden and
mysterious origin, laying false claim to the
appellation peace" and even a portion of the
American press, are disseminating the doctrines
of the Hollis and the Weinschenks. Foreign in
fuences are directed toward creating strife in
American labor organizations and threats to de-
stroy our factories have called armed patrols into
service. Sinister rumors following an attack on
our Capitol have dictated the precaution of armed
guards for our public buildings and the persons
and abodes OF the representatives of nations with
which this country is friendly terms. And all
this time the United States is at peace with all
the world and its government studiously obedient
to every requirement of neutrality. Who is rum

be kept in the right hands, and those hands up
