Sensation Not Altogether Pleasant
Though Almost Every One Seeks
the Experience.

When the European or American
tourist first lands in Japan he at once
demands a jinrikisha. Having read OF

an immediate experience OF It as soon
as he finds himself in the land OF It's
birth. Almost any day one may see

needs to be thrown, inasmuch as a
merchantmen under convoy is en-
titled only to the same treatment its
protector receives as a vessel of war.
If, in short, there were circumstances
still unreported which would relieve
the act of the German submarine of
the quality of deliberate unfriendli-
ness to the United States, as the pres
ident has defined it, they must be
made known; and, in order that they
may become known, ample time
should be taken for scrupulously
careful and patient inquiry.
We would respectfully ask the Re-
publican and the administration if it
is the duty of the United States to
ferret out an excuse for the Ger
mans who deliberately attacked with
out warning an unarmed merchant
steamer and sent two American citi-
zens to their grave? The probabili-
ton is waiting for the Germans to
hatch up an excuse other Americans
will be murdered. 1t is not the duty
of America at this time to aid the
Germans to an apology or to wait
and let it's citizens be massacred by
pirates. Germany should be almighty
quick in getting an explanation and
apology to US if she has any to offer.
If she fails to do it the president
should Immediately break off all dip
lomatic relations with them. No
further benefit to America can be
secured by cowardly inaction and any
advice like the above tends to sink
us still further in disgrace. The
American people are not towards and
should not be talked to as such.

The Burlington Free Press quotes
what the Caledonian said about
Horace F. Graham for the governor
ship in a recent issue and says in
connection with tiff there is one
man in the state who knows where
that economy so generally demanded
by taxpayers can be exer-
cised without seriously inter
fering with the welfare Of
the commonwealth Horace F. Ora
ham knows and he has the back
bone to say so, whenever opportuni-
ty presents itself" This is true and
it looks as though the public is be-
ginning to look to one man for the
next governor of Vermont. Like the
Caledonian, the Free Press does not
know Mr.. Graham's mind in the mat
ter but Vermonters will soon ask for
an answer from Mr.. Graham.

We note that Gov. Gates in COM
pany with business men from Stowe
visited Smugglers Notch on Satur-
day last, to inspect the route of a
proposed state highway through
this most scenic cut in the Green
Mountains. Vermont possesses here
a tremendous scenic asset if an
automobile road could be opened
through it. 1t might cost $40,
to do this but it would become one
of the most popular spots for auto
lists to visit within the state. We wish
the towns of Stowe and Cambridge
might be induced to meet one-half
the cost of this road and the state
pay the other half

Urges CowardIy Waiting.

The Springfield Republican in en-
dorsing the statement of Secretary
of State Lansing that no step will be
taken until all the facts are known"
concerning the sinking of the Ara
bic says:
The government will assume such
a tremendous responsibility if it
breaks off normal intercourse with
Germany that it must be absolutely
sure of it's ground before taking the
least action of an irrevocable nature.
Whatever facts may be still unknown
concerning the sinking of the Arabic
should be gathered. The facts al
ready reported by the captain and
passengers of the ship must be suit
ably verified. Nor can our govern
ment proceed to determine it's course
until the official German version of
the incident is before it.
1t is possible that the present as
pect of the case may be modified by
fuller information than is now avail
able. Was the Arabic under convoy?
On this important point more light

| We call attention elsewhere to the
meeting to be held in Concord, N. H.,
to promote the cause of agriculture
until all of the arabic land of that
state shall be under cultivation. Fol-
lowing the announcement of this
meeting the Manchester Union editor
tally announces that a large farm in
Exeter has been recently sold to part
les from South Bend, Ind, and that
the register of deeds has many in
quiries from Michigan and elsewhere
in the West for lands in Rocking
ham county, New Hampshire. After
stating that these inquiries are par

from New England and want to get
back and that the interest in New
better farming" campaign now go
ing forward in New Hampshire it
says
The old notion, too commonly har-
bored among the initiated, that New
Hampshire was a region of barren
rocks surrounded by Arctic atmos-
phere, is happily dissipated. The
products of New Hampshire soil
have spoken for themselves in I'M
mistakable terms wherever they have
been dispensed, and into such places
as they and their fame have not yet
found their way, it behooves us to
spread the gospel of New Hamp-
shire agriculture. By so doing, we
shall benefit not only our state and
ourselves, but all who heed the prop
uganda and come to New Hamp-
shire.
The Union speaks the truth about
New Hampshire and we are glad to
see the awakening that is taking
place in that state. We simply wish |
to call the attention of Vermonters
to this movement and suggest they |
too should attempt to interest the
western prospects in Vermont farms.
While New Hampshire farms are
good, we think that tour through
that state and then Vermont would
convince anyone that Vermont farm
ing land is better and inquiry would
show it could be secured for less
New Hampshire people for
years worked together and have de-
veloped in that state a great sum-
mer business while Vermont with
quite as attractive scenery and nat
lral beauties remained idle and un-
developed 1t should not make the
same mistake in it's agricultural in
.erests. Intelligent cooperation in
making its agricultural advantages
lnown could not fail to bring new
arming blood into the state and in
rease its wealth materially. We
,elieve that 100 farms in Caledonia
could be bought at reason
BILE figures within a week if the buy
RS could be induced to come here

omething for advertising and show
