Roosevelt and Wilson.

Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay
and Pres. Wilson at Washington each
made a speech Saturday that express
ed the purpose of each. Mr.. Roose-
Welt said:
We have a right to demand that
every man who comes here becomes a
citizen, that he become an American
and nothing else. We regard the hy-
phen as "a bar sinister drawn across
our national coat of arms, and we
don't intend to permit it to remain
there. To you, both native of this
country and those born abroad and
above all to you old native Americans
of old stock, you cannot expect to
get loyalty from the immigrant or
the immigrants children unless you
make this country one to which a
proud man can be loyal. And to
do that you have got to demand that
the country stand for courage and for
strength. No man ever yet was loyal
to a weakling, whose weakness was
due to the fact that he would not
take the pains and undergo the effort
necessary to be strong. If we as a
nation do not put our ideals, includ-
ing the ideals of courage and strength,
and if we do not put to use our i'm
mense national resources, in other
words, if we allow timidity and wilful
weakness to become attributes, unless
we make up our minds, we shall not
command the loyalty of those who
come to our shores.
Pres. Wilson in his address before
the League to Enforce Peace laid
down these fundamentals:
First, that every people has a right
to choose the sovereignty under which
it shall live; second, that the small
states of the world have a right to en-
joy the same respect for their sover-
eighty and for their territorial integ-
rity that great and powerful nations
expect and insist upon; third, that the
world has a right to be free from
every disturbance of it's peace that
has its origin in aggression and disre-
gard for the rights of people and ra-
tons.
So sincerely do we believe these
things" he declared, that 1 am sure
that 1 speak the mind and wish of
the people of America when 1 say that
the United States is willing to become
a partner in any feasible association
Of nations formed in order to realize
these objects and make them secure
against violation"
In doctrine Pres. Wilson has beat
en- Mr.. Roosevelt. In performance
Mr.. Roosevelt is far in the lead of
Pres. Wilson and there is no doubt
the people of this country prefer per-
Torrance to profession. But we feel
that Mr.. Roosevelt has laid down a
narrow and dangerous principle for
this country to adopt We do not
want people living in this country and
working for the interests of the coun-
try they came from for a long period |
of years. but we are not ready to say
no one can come here without be-
coming a citizen Of this country.

Building Code Needed.

Bellows Falls in village meeting
Monday evening rejected a building
code that had been prepared for ac-
ceptance by the voters. We do not
know what the provisions of the pro-
posed code were but feel the voters
made a mistake. 1t is time more at
tention should be given to the con-
struction of buildings within village
limits. So long as building are so con-
structed that they are simply fuel for
a confagration the cost Of insurance
will be unreasonably expensive. Aside
from the saving in insurance that
should follow more careful construc-

PERU TURNPIKE HEARING.
Only Toll Road i'm Vermont May Soon
Be Owned by the State.

The commissioners appointed by the
Bennington county court to hear and
determine if the public good requires
the taking over b ythe state Of the
Peru turnpike, and to apraise the
! damages if such ethe case will
submit their report to the June term
of Bennington county court.
The turnpike, which is the only toll
road in Vermont, is a section of a
highway which passes through a
notch in the Green Mountain ridge
from one side of the state to the 9TH
er, and is the only available route
for a road in that section for a con-
siderable distance north and south.
The distance is 5 1t miles. The COM
pany which was chartered by the leg
islature in 1914, built the road be-
tween that time and 1920, and the
majority of it's stock is now owned
by John ]. Flynn of Burlington.
When Gov Gates was state high
way commissioner proceedings were
commenced under an act of the leg
is lature to condemn and take over the
road. The sum of s14, 900 was offered
by the state which was refused by the
owners and an appeal taken to Ben
nington county court, which appoint
ed A. E. Cudworth Of South London
derry, Eli H. Porter of Wilmington
and Edward H. Deavitt of Montpelier
commissioners and appraisers.
The state was represented at the
hearing by Attorney General H. G.
Barber and Robert Bacon of Brattle-
boro and Highway Commissioner S.
B. Bates. The turnpike company was
represented by F. c. Archibald of
Manchester and r. E. Brown of Bur-
lington. Many engineers testified at
the hearing.
Among the witnesses were 1. M.
Frost who testified for the company
as a contractor on the cost of repro
duction, and H. w. Farnum testified
along the same lines for the state
Engineers f. H. Dewart, F. o. Sinclair
and H NJ. Mcintosh also testified, as
we'll as NJ. ]. Hapgood who was the
first witness as we'll as an interested
spectator during the proceedings.
The estimate of cost of reproduction
ran from $4,000 to 100000 Mr.
Flynn estimated the value at $4,000.
The turnpike is on the Ideal Tour
from Manchester, N. H, to Lake Sun
apee, N. H. Since the coming of the
automobile the road has been making
money. The toll charge has been SO
cents for each machine and so cents
for pleasure carriages. The charges
are fixed by the charter.

A Boston paper reports that Sen
John w. Weeks of Massachusetts, and
other favorite sons are plotting to de-
feat Justice Hughes at the Chicago
convention. This is only another way
of saying they are plotting to defeat
the republican party in the coming
campaign. Sen. Weeks has not
any hope he can win the presidency
and we hope he will not have strength
enough to defeat the party which has
given him all the political honors he
has ever enjoyed.

Possible Forerunner of Peace.

The speech of Pres. Wilson in
Washington Saturday is very we'll re-
ceived abroad as we'll as at home. II
looks as though it might be the fore.
runner Of peace proposals and the es-
adjustment of international agree
ments that would prevent another
outbreak of war SIMILAR to the Euro
pean conflict. We give some excerpts
of comments on the speech.
From the London Daily News:
President Wilson has never deliv-
cred a speech more pregnant of pos
sibilities Nothing is as clear as that
on the fundamental issues. which go
far beyond the settlement that will
terminate the present war, President
Wilson and Sir Edward Grey are at
one.
A French EDITORS view:
The kaiser's childlike diplomacy
has found a complaisant listener in
President Wilson while the latter is
occupying the presidency. Mr.. Will
son is candidate for reelection. His
mediation, If Europe accepted it
would be the only title he needs, but
it is difficult to confer upon him such
title, for the single reason that with
the righteousness which honors him
and with the hope. perhaps foreign
70 our land. he publicly proclaimed
his offer Of intervention.
From a German source:
There is a tendency to attribute the
presidents statement that the world
now turns eagerly. more and more
eagerly. toward the hope OF peace" to
an inclination on the part of the
United States government to initiate
some definite move to bring the war
to a close. The opinion is volunteered
that Germany will welcome the sug.
gestion and that Mr.. Wilson's address
will profoundly impress the German

Rev. ]. B. Reardon, chairman of
the democratic state convention last
week said the republican party was
responsible for the unpreparedness of
this country because they were in
power for ten years before the out
break of the European war. Frank
E. Howe, chairman of the republican
state convention, said: God knows
and the rest of us suspect that the re-
publican party has sometimes failed
but it never talked and haggled for a
year and ten months in the face of
danger without doing anything to
meet the crisis.' That answers Mr.
Reardon as well as twice as many
words could.

There was plenty of politics at the
state republican convention in Mont
pelier outside of the selection CT dele
gates to the national convention. Sen.
S. c. Page was there and was much
pleased with the pledges he received
of active support for reelection. AL
len NJ. Fletcher also called in and
spoke with a few friends but if he
got much satisfaction it must have
been for small favors," as there was
very little Fletcher sentiment in evil
dence. Gov. c. w. Gates was there
and many of the men present said
they should be most friendly to his
candidacy for the United States SEN
atorship. Others suggested that, if a
change is to be made, a man like
Pres. Thomas of Middlebury col
lege should be selected. Ben Gates
was on the ground and no opponent
to his candidacy for the state auditor
ship was in evidence. Only one name
was mentioned for the governorship
and that was Horace F. Graham.
The other state officers were present
and received nothing but endorse
ments for reelection to their present
positions. 1t was largely a love feast
and the people of Vermont can fore
cast with considerable accuracy who
the next state officers will be.
