TAR AND FEATHERS"

The first tar and feathers" party in
America was held at Ballerica, Mass,
1G1 years ago, IT'S, when a number
OF British soldiers seized rebel in
habitant of that town, stripped off his
clothing. and applied to his body a
coat OF tar, afterward adding a num-
Der of feathers for their decorative
effect. This wanton act aroused great
indignation among the rebels" and
corresponding citation among the
Tories" There was something about
this novel mode of punishment which
made an instant appeal, and soon tar
and feathers parties became popular.
At first the victims were usually the
opponents of the British rule, but a
little later the loyalists were the "un-
der dogs" and many OF them were
given coats of tar before being sent
out OF the country. After the recolu.
ton the old animosity gradually died
down, but the tar and feather treat.
ment for moral obliquity persisted,
and was frequently applied to women
of bad character by indignant mem.
bers of their own sex. The practice is
happily now well nigh forgotten, al.
though within recent years there have
been sporadic revivals OF the old afro.
city.

Vermonters, regardless of political
and local affiliations, will join in a
genuine regret and sorrow for the
death of Clarke C. Fits of Brattleboro.
Surviving by only six weeks the re
suits of a dangerous operation. Mr..
Fits died at the very acme of success
full manhood. At 46 he had reached Il
position very near the head of his pro-
fession, and he had also given his com
munity and the state a measure of pub
lie service of the highest type.
Had he lived few years more, it is
likely that he would again have entered
public life, with every prospect of his
receiving distinguished consideration at
the hands of his fellow-voters.
Beside remarkable ability. almost
unlimited energy and a clear, incisive
view of every question that came be
fore him, Clarke Fits was a GOOD friend
a square antagonist, a hard fighter and
a good loser. Fits Fights Fair was
often said of him by men who hap
pencd to be on the opposite side, and it
is doubtful if he had an enemy in the
state, despite his aggressive and hard
hitting methods.
Tie DEVELOPMENT of Vermont s re-
sources was definitely associated with
MIR. Fits s business career, but he was
also an enthusiast on the question of
conservation.
DESPITE the successful opposition di-
rected against his plans for the con
troll by the state of the head-waters of
Vermont S "white coal, - many Yer
monters are coming to believe that his
plans were unselfsh, based on scien-
tific knowledge and designed to bene
fit his fellows.
1t is hard to lose men like Clarke c.
Fits. 1t is doubly hard when they are
! taken away in the very prime of 1hei,
vigor and activity, and Vermonters OF
every station will join with his be
reaved family and community in un
, feigned sympathy.

The late Clarke c. Fits of Brattle-
boro was a man OF great dynamic force
He seemed fairly to radiate energy His
actions, his manner of speech and his
memory processes revealed alertness to
a marked degree. 1t all gave to him
distinct personality, let alone the other
qualities which set him somewhat apart
from the ordinary run of men. When
ever Clarke Fits took up a project
there was certainty of action; whenever
ne arose to speak there was sure to be
forcofulness, if not polished eloquence.
Moreover, he brought a keen mentality
to bear i'll a most thorough fashion.
He was well grounded in his profession
of the law and had gained much promi-
nence in that work although he was
still comparatively young man, having
been state s attorney in Windham coun-
ty and attorney general for the state of
Vermont and having been engaged in
some of the most important litigation
in the state. AS legislator Fits took
high rank and his work at the state
house stamped him as a man of much
promise. Indeed, Vermont had come to
expect a great deal from this man as
the years ripened his experience; and
hence there will be a real sense of loss
at his demise just when he seemed to
be entering upon the period of greatest
possibilities. Clarke Fitts's death re
moves one of the foremost personalities
Of the state. Ia

Brattleboro, one of the most brilliant
men in Nermont-perhaps, all things
considered, the most brilliant-has

The history of Ireland is more fascl-
mating and in many respects more in
structive than the story of the other
European peoples. In the first place
the Irish and the Germans are the only
Western races whose tradition reaches
beyond the Christian era. The German
tradition, however, has become blend
ed with the general European current
since the Middle Ages, but the irish
have maintained their race ideal
through centuries of persecution and
oppression. 1t is unfortunate that no
Irish historian has told the whole story
authoritatively. Ireland has produced
and is producing today great litera-
ture, but the Irish writer's for the most
