for protest by the United States gov

Imperial Exculpation.

Again the kaiser has harped on the
subject OF his responsibility Tor the war
A great many times, he has protested
q did not wish this war" Il did not
bring on the war" Il am not respon
sible.' Whatever his contemporaries
may think Of the accuracy OF his ever
renewed statement, they must recognize
that he does not want to be held the au-
thor of the terrible event,
In what sense he exonerates himself it
would be interesting to know. His most
lately reported conversation on the sub
lect reveals him stripping himself and
his country Of the blame by distributing
it among the entente, calling Russia
despotic, France revengeful and Britain
treacherous. He has at least the self
respect not to take refuge in the official
German version OF the wars origin, with
its conspiring Belgians and its Russo
Serbian official plots to murder Austrian
royalty.
Perhaps the kaiser holds that he did
not bring on the war in the sense that
the superior and dominating power never
actually brings on war. In this same
sense that the citizen in a highwayman's
clutch, brings on a fight by struggling
when despoiled. the nations opposing the
Teutonic military aggregation caused
war, or so it can be plausibly put for
ward, in order to prevent the Teutons'
grabbing Serbia To the kaiser's view
they are responsible; have not all his
Iife's acts proclaimed his belief in the
right Of the mighty New York Even

The appearance in the North sea Sat
urday Of a portion OF the German high
seas feet indicates that the German ma
val arm has recovered in part from the
battering received at the hands of the
British in the battle OF .Jutland on May
81 and is ready once more to enter eau
tiously into engagement with the Brit
ish. In the comparatively slight brush
which the two fleets had on Saturday
the honors rest with the Germans as far
as extent Of damage is concerned, for the
loss OF two light cruisers tthe British
damage is far greater than the destruc-
ton Of a single submarine and damage

eight hour day itself is simple enough;
the public probably approves OF 1t, on the
principle that eight hours is enough for
a man to work. But when the man has
worked beyond his eight hours, is he
worth time-snd-a half pay-by way of
exacting punishment upon the railroad
That surely, is an arbitrable question,
although other industries operate with
such an arrangement. The eight hour
basic workday may be a foregonc con
clusion; it Is, with most Of us. But there
are always two sides to question OF
wages. Arbitration, by some plan, is
vitality necessary.
If this country were thrown into the
pandemonium of a railroad strike be-
cause group of employees refused to
submit wage question to the study OF
court. labor unionism would have become
fearsome indeed. Ii would have become
the enemy OF the public interest, OF the
common veal.
1t is the public that would suffer in
such strike. The patient public, will
ing enough to pay for justice, ready now
to pay the price of an eight-ho day, is
not to be used with any such mainland
ling as that.
A countrywide strike over hitch in
arbitration is unthinkabe.
But this nightmare is educating The

The Maine Situation.

Somewhat disquieting are the reports
which our seasoned political correspond
ent, Mr. James c. White, telegraphs from
the various points in Maine which he has
visited. Only one moral remains to be
drawn. The Republicans of the Pine
Tree state should forget their various
cliques, factions and candidates., and get
together for the good OF the nation,
Maine is the last of our barometers. We
used to have October elections i'm Indiana
and Ohio, which foreshadowed the out.
come OF the presidential contest. These
have become November states. We used
to have Vermont-a wonderfully exact
barometer this prominence the
Green Mountainers decided to forego.
1t is difficult to exaggerate the i'm
portance of the outcome in Maine. Ii is
a Republican state. Its failure to give
substantial Republican majority in sep
TENDER would throw chill over the
from Portsmouth to San Die
60 A tremendous responsibility thus
rests on the voters OF Maine. They
should rise to the occasion. In no other
state in the union have complaints over
the Democratic tariff been more serious
than there; nor have war orders entirely
obscured the lesser industrial factor. II
protection il TO remain vital issue, and
II Republicansm is to assert itself in
the nation, Maine must in September
show the rest OF us the way. And Maine
must do it with such emphasis as TO per
nit OF no further Misunderstanding

Stampalia was still a ship engaged in
peaceful commerce or had been taken
over by the Italian government; again, if
still peaceful ship OF commerce, wheth
er her mounted guns exceeded the limit
set by the United States government and
whether she attacked the submarine or
attempted to escape when challenged;
and in the third place, there is Ger
manv's own declaration of principle
which is open to arbitration perhaps and
which surely cannot be thrown out Of
court without reasonable hearing, Right
and Justice cannot be wholly on one side
in every situation that may develop dur
ing the present war; it must not be tax
en- for granted that the entente allies
can do no wrong while Germany can do
all wrong. Therefore, the United States
government win take steps to determine
the real conditions surrounding the sink
ing Of the Stampalia before committing
itself to any policy. A course of mod
Grafton, rather than hasty action, is the
one wise course to pursue.

Prof. A. H. Appelmann, head Of the
department Of German in the University
of Vermont, may be an excellent man in
his collegiate work but his alleged core
spondence with DR.. Paul Rohrbach of
Berlin, Germany, would tend to show
him to be man out OF sympathy with
American ideals and institutions. The
University OF Vermont, we venture to
say, stands for real Americanism, first,
last and all the time, whether it be in
discussion Of world politics or things
more peculiarly related to inner life of
the republic.

The measure of success which attended
the first effort of the farm bureaus Of
Washington and Orange counties to hold
a joint picnic and field day demonstra
ton was such as to lend distinct encour-
agement for a repetition of the event
another year. Indeed, such high stand
ard was set in Barre Saturday both as to
the large attendance and as to the excel
lence of the program arranged that there
will need to be strong effort to eclipse
the first annual field day. So many
farmers have not gathered in either of
the two counties in a long time, and it is
rarely that gatherings have been permit
ted to listen to such interesting speakers
with a particular message TO the agri-
cultural interests OF the sections in
volved Those who were responsible for
the success of the event and those who
assisted them in the furthering of the
plans arc to be congratulated over the
outcome of the affair. There is no doubt
that the farmers of Washington and
Orange counties received benefits from
the get-together and from the program. /

Justice and the Public.

| At the beginning OF any considerable
of the present railroad controversy, there
comes the truism, impressively used to
day by the president of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, that "no strike is
necessary to do Justice" From that
point onward the student busies himself
trying to discover what Justice is and
what element of unfairness or obstinacy
stands in the way OF it,
The railroad situation as it comes To
the attention of President Wilson is a
deadlock. with employees making de-
mands which in the main. they declare
are not arbitrable. The railroads offer
to arbitrate.
That, on the face of il, sounds had for
the employees specially in a nation
which is proceeding in it, international
dealings upon the principle that every
thing is open to mediation.
But there Is complication introduced
by the fact that arbitration often goes,
and recently has gone. against the EN-
ploye. without satisfying him that his
case has been fairly Judged. Arbitra-
ton assumes a neutral reasoning power.
and such neutrality is not easily found
in a dispute involving as much IS a rail
road strike must involve.
The emplove in this instance has his
own idea Of Justice. and refuses to risk
the idea in arbitration which he holds to
be only theoretically fair.
