THE SENATORSHIP.

Rushing in where more conservative
newspaper writer's thus far have hest
tated to tread, the Montpelier CORE

settles Vermont's senatorial question
in scant half column. Going down
through a list of dozen or more

candidates for the Office now held by
Carroll S. Page, the Herald correspond
ent comes to the conclusion that there
is not one among them who would
make formidable opponent against
| the man from Hyde Park. He dis
misses Governor Gates as having no
| desire for the place, turns down Guy
w. Bailey as being too young, assumes
that there is not enough left of the

Charles P. Smith and Charles A. Prou
ty as unlikely aspirants and dismisses
the whole clan of ex-governors as out
of the question.
This is, of course, an easy way OF
settling the senatorial question, but
the principal trouble with it hes IL
the fact that no consideration has ap
parently been given to the effect OF
the direct primary law. Under thu
caucus and convention system it would
have been almost impossible to dis
lodge Senator Page; in fact, it is un
likely that anybody would have hat

STUDY BIRD LIFE.

The birds are now returning from
the south. A few days more and
they will be giving expression to the
Joy they feel on account of the new
ness and freshness that nature al
ways brings after the long sleep of
winter. Unfortunately Spring also
brings out the marksman and he is
never quite so proud as when he can
get bird ON the wing. That is the
supreme test of good craftsmanship.
The loss we sustain by the destrue-
tion of bird-ife is not merely a SEN
timental one, though that of itself is
not lightly to be regarded. The "a.
wages of armies of insects that have
virtually destroyed many of our most
promising orchards and forests are due
to the fact that we have broken the
balance of nature by permitting tht
wholesale and indiscriminate slaugh
/ ter of birds. Boys armed with air
guns and twenty twos have helped
greatly in the process of extermina
ton, but the chief agents of dcstrue
ton have been mature men with
lust to kill.
Our teachers and schools have be
gun a good work with their mature
study, spasmodic and fragmentar,
though it has been up to the presen
time. We hope for more systemati
efforts in this direction in the future
for it is more important in an econo
mic aud educational sense than ar
some other lines of endeavor that ar
more heavily exploited. The word
of the teacher should be assisted b
abundant parental instruction in tn
home. Let the growing boy b
taught that the proclivity to slaughte
is not the part of the true man, bu
of the savage n man, and encourag
the boy to love the wild creature
about him and to study their habits

Neutrality is an effort on the part
of a nation to straddle a picket fence
without falling off on either side.
When the European war broke out
several nations decided to act as limo
cent bystanders and hoist the neutral
flag. They also hoisted the price of am
munition, automobile trucks, cavalry
horses and submarines, doing one Of
the most satisfactory jobs of plain and
fancy hosting ever known. The prin-
cipal business of neutrality at the pres
ent writing is to deplore the war with
one hand and cash checks with the
other, the result being that two schools
of neutrality have sprung up in Con-
gress, one pro and one con.

Japan, which some people imagine is in
the war, but which never gets into
anything without having rubber boots.
While the main scrimnage is in prog
ress Japan is slipping around the side
lines and picking up little loose terri
tory which may come in handy later on.
When the war is over Japan will be
found in possession of her self-esteem
and most of the Pacific ocean, and will
be found in excellent shape to consider
the subjugation of the state of Califor-
MIA.
The most influential neutral in this
country is Henry Ford, who recently
took some special brands of neutrality
to Europe and returned with them in
tact. Thoughtless but well-meaning
people laugh at Henry Ford and his
peace ship, but they would not do SO
if they had to pay Henry's bills. Hen
rvs idea was splendid one and will
canter down in history as a noble phil
anthropic effort, but he failed to take
the pulse of the warning nations before
leaving. This teaches us that there are
some kinds of preparedness which
ought to be practised more than they
are.
