Let Us Have The Truth.

Mrs. Harriet A. Tucker of Brattle-
boro is said to have made the follow
ing report at the annual convention
of the Windham county w. G. T. U:
while it is true that the men are
refraining more and more from the
use of liquors and narcotics the wo-
men are taking it up, especially in
Brattleboro. Among the middle class
there are numerous bridge clubs in
Brattleboro and l have been told by
a young woman who has attended
some of them that there is seldom a
meeting at which alcoholic drinks are
not served.
81 am also informed on good au-
thority that at a recent church sOci-
able in Brattleboro the younger peo-
pie present were served with lemon
ade straight, but the older people
we're served with some lemonade that
had a stick in it..
We wonder if this woman was tell
ing the truth or whether in her zeal
she overstated the facts. Lemonade
with a stick in it, at a church soci-
able will not appeal to reasonable
people as at all probable. If Mrs.
Tucker has resorted to exaggeration
for the sake of making an impression
she has weakened the organization
to which she belongs. Either the
church or the w. c. T. U. should be
thoroughly exposed in this matter.

barbarism and destruction in that
country. This nation can no longer
afford to allow the supremacy of the
destructive forces of Mexico and the
plumber and devastation of those in
terests which alone can bring about
sane and stable conditions in that
land of tremendous natural wealth.
The real question is shall Mexico be
pauperized or prosperous and the
world is in favor of its prosperity
and usefulness.
The Bennington Banner has we'll
summed up the duty of this country
in these words:-''Day by day it be-
comes more evident that Mexico will
never have a settled and substantial
government until the United States
steps in and establishes one and stays
by until it is in working order" Let
us realize our duty at this time, enter
upon it's fultilIment and acquit our
selves like men.

Administration Is Awakening.

The announcement from Washing
ton that the president will soon issue
a warning to the factional leaders OF
Mexico that the United States will in
sist on the cessation of internal war
fare in that country gives a ray OF
hope that the president at last real
ties the failure of his 'watchful
waiting" and that this country has a
duty to perform. In a statement to
the Red Cross he describes the condi-
tons in Mexico as appalling and
great numbers Of the residents of
that country are facing starvation.
He is advised by his personal repre-
sentative that no one in that country
is able to restore peace and stable
conditions, a thing that this paper
has long claimed.
The American people will agree
with the president that conditions
in Mexico are ''intolerable' and
while regretting the necessity of
military Intervention in that country
will, we believe, regardless of politi-
cal divisions approve of a cleaning
up Of Mexico and the suppression of

China A Warning.

In a 1aconic statement President
Yaun Shi-Kai of China has preached
whole sermon that America may
well heed. After signing the two
treaties and thirteen notes that Japan
forced her to he said in a proclama-
ton to the Chinese:
"Our rights and privileges in Man
churia have suffered enormously.
We are ashamed and Inundated, but
our own weakness invited insult Let
all the people unite and work har-
moniously for the supreme object of
saving the country"
'Our own weakness invited in
suit" Can there be a palmer de-
scription of our own condition in at
tempting to secure their rights for
Americans in Mexico or on the high
seas? Like China we have not only
invited insult but we have received
it. There is no escaping the fact
that we must abandon some of the
theories we hold so dear and face
conditions as they actually exist or
we too shall be Inundated. This is
not jingoism but simply an appeal to
''Let all the people unite and work
tremendously for the supreme object
of saving the country"

Beating The Mail Order House.

The Herald and News tells of a
hardware merchant in South Royal
ton who has made an effective argu-
ment in favor of trading with him
instead of mail order house. The
Herald says
This dealer has made up a price
comparison on forty-one standard
articles of large consumption, giving
in one column the mail order prices
and in another his own. On some ar
ticIes he beats the mail order house
and on others the margin is slightly
against him. The aggregate, as we'll
as the average, shows a balance in
his favor. In fact, he meets mail
order competition straight through
his stock. When it is considered
that his price means delivery at his
store after the customer has seen
and examined the goods, while the
mail order price means that charges
from New York or Chicago must be
paid, to say nothing of the liability
of damage in transit and the delay
and the greater difficulty in securing
an adjustment if the purchases are
not satisfactory, it is clear that there
is no excuse for sending away. What
this dealer has done, others in other
lines can do. Merchants can sell at
z reasonable profit and still undersell
these mail order houses, and being
right among their customers they
have a great advantage. OF course
they cannot get their own prices in
all cases and still compete, nor can
they hold trade by keeping out-Of-
date stocks.
This emphasizes what we have al
ready said about the local merchant
his bargains known to the
public through his local newspaper.
A glance through this issue will show
how many local men compared with
those living hundreds of miles away

A Real Temperance Reform,

The prohibition of the use of in
toxicating liquors by Russia at the
opening of the war attracted world
wide attention and the readers of
| The Caledonian will be interested to
know the findings of William F. Col
Inns, formerly of Brattleboro and now
staff correspondent for the Newark,
n. j. Evening News. He has been
making an investigation of condi-
tions in Russia and tells how the Rus
SLAMS philosophically received the or
| der and that today there is apprecia-
ton on many sides and especially
among the peasant women of the
good resulting from the vodka ban.
He says there is some evasion of the
law but generally speaking the Rus
SLAMS are obeying the order and sub
shutting harmless drinks for their
former beverage. Here is the most
interesting part of his statement
Meanwhile, countless people ours
ed with vodka heretofore are improv-
ing in body, mind and pocket under
L
doubtedly has profted as a result of
the anti-vodka regulation, and many
banks have attributed an increase in
deposits directly to it. There are re-
ports from not a few districts that
peasant families now have comforts
which they never have had before.
The official reports say that there is
less crime All in all, the remarkable
experiment, tremendous in it's scope
and startling in it's radicalism, is
working well. 1t is more important
to Russia than the war is. 1t is the
hope that it will contribute, in high
ly effective degree, to making the
new Russia"
So it must be admitted that pro-
hibition is a success in Russia and
that real temperance reform has
been accomplished. The Caledonian
joins with millions of others in the
hope that the reform may be a per-
manent one and that Russia may be
a leader in the most effective temper
ance reform the world has ever
known.

1T is SO seldom that public organiza-

a local paper what it shall and shall

ment and Needs Some Things
Wheelock is a small village mes
tied among the hills, five miles from
the railroad station at Lyndonville
but we have a stage running from
Sheffield and Wheelock to Lyndon
vile and back, both forenoon and
afternoon. So we are not so far out
of the world and can boast of having
all state road from the Sheffield line
to the Lyndon line. There is quite
an amount of business done here for
small place. First comes a lively
little creamery, S. A. Buck, proprie-
tor, which is now making 1000
pounds and more butter each week.
A. J. Rennie owns and operates a
saw mill with an annual output of
100000 feet a year.
A gristmill and feed store, D. M.
Mclean, proprietor, which is doing
business annually of some 100000.
]. B. Ripley has also just put in
stock of grain and -four which is do
ing we'll. We have two good stores
so no one need go away for what
they need. The Wheelock Manufac-
turing Company, L. N. Cree, man
ager and part owner, is doing
a good business, making flexible
tubes which is driving Mr. Cree to
fill his orders. One blacksmith
shop, a Union church, Free Baptist
and Methodist. What we all feel
very proud of is the fine soldiers
on which are inscribed
the name of between 20 and 80 brave
men who enlisted from this town,
presented to the town by Fred Chase
of Loon Lake Hotel fame, a former
WheeIock boy, set up in the park.
This village might attract many
summer visitors, being on the direct
route from st. Johnsbury to Barton
and Newport for auto parties if an
effort was put forth to accommo-
date the public. A tea room where
hot and cold tea, ice cream, etc.,
could be procured would be a pay
ing investment. We have an excel |
lent sulphur spring in the village
that attracts many people who come
to get a drink of the cold water on
a hot summers day.
What our crying need is is a good
hotel. We have a good hotel but it |
is now a price house. We also
need better sidewalks and more
work done in the park.

Germany Must Be Conquered

The answer, long delayed, that
Germany has given the American
note regarding the brutal murder of
non combatants and women and
children in the destruction of the Lu-
sitania, it's torpedo attack by subma-
rine on the American ship Nebraskan
and the continuation of the sinking
of unarmed merchant vessels with
out warning brings a crisis in the
relations between this country and
Germany. United States must either
Invite insult through it's weakness"
or rouse itself and avenge the insults
already heaped upon it,
We cannot better express our atti-
tude now than we did in our issue of
May 18th when we said
Civilization wherever it exists de-
mands the cessation of such inhuman-
ity as Germany has shown since the
outbreak of this war. In her en-
trance upon the high seas to destroy
unarmed merchantmen Germany has
become as much of a pirate as the
MorrOccans were a century ago when
the United States cleaned them from
the sea. The world cannot afford
such piracy as even a possibility. 1t
must be exterminated and if the ma
lions now in armed alliance against
Germany and Austria cannot exter-
it we must do our part in ac-
it. This
war must not stop until German bar
karism is so thoroughly eXtinguished
it can never again strike at neutral
and kill them by the
If it requires war against
Germany by the United States to &C
complish this the United States
should undertake it as the fulfillment
of an obligation to the humanity and
decency of the world
Further neutrality would be a
crime against civilization. The most
effective action possible would bring
nearer world wide peace and univer
sal justice.

The Richford Journal prints an
advertisement for Evangelist NJ. B.
Linindoll, Better known as the Boy
Preacher which says:-''Let us
pitch in to give the devil all that is
coming to him. He has deceived the
people too long. All are welcome
during this campaign to these ser
vices" We are afraid the reports
from this conflict will read some like
the see-sawing in the trenches be-
tween the allies and the Germans
much depending on which side gives
the report. Probably the evangelist
will simply raise the devil in trying
to down him.
