St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1916-05-31
An objectionable Ofense.

The Caledonian also delivers itself
of a diatribe on the subject of Allen
M. Fletcher, former governor of the
state, whom it credits with a long
cherished ambition to be United
States senator from Vermont.-Rut-
land Herald.
The simple statement of facts pub
lished in The Caledonian concerning
Ex-Gov. Allen NJ. Fletcher is solemn
ly pronounced a diatribe by our con-
temporary. OF course it is an unpar-
donable offense, so we shall not ask
any ones pardon. But if a brief
statement of the case constitutes a
diatribe it must be there is something
displeasing in the case itself and we
are wiling to leave it there.
The statement of the accomplish
ments of Mr.. Fletcher while COVER
nor, sent out as a political advertise
ment, is highly amusing. 1t would
appear from that statement the leg
islature of 1912 was worse than use
less, that it really was an inert mass
that had to be driven into action by
that great and good man. We had
supposed until that article appeared
the legislature really had something
to do with the passage of the bills en-
acted during the session. We humbly
acknowledge our ignorance and if
Gov. Fletcher did all the things that
article claims he did we will cry
Long live Allen M. Fletcher"-in re-
tirement at Cavendish. Because if
he did all those things he has done
enough for any one man and should
be allowed to rest.

A CreditabIe Note.

The note sent by Secretary of State
Lansing to the British and French
governments protesting against the IL
legal seizure and detention of Ameri-
can mails is a dignified and firm state
ment of the rights of neutral govern
should lead to a correction of the
abuses. We make the following ex-
cerpt from it:
The government of the United
States, in view of the improper meth
DDS employed by the British and
French authorities in interrupting
mails passing between the United
States and other neutral countries
and between the United States and
the enemies of Great Britain, can no
longer tolerate the wrongs which
citizens of the United States have suf-
fered and continue to suffer through
these methods. To submit to a law
less practice of this character would
open the dosr to repeated violations
of international law by the belligerent
powers on the ground of military ne
cessity, of which the violator would
be the sole judge. Manifestly a neu-
trail nation cannot permit it's rights on
the high seas to be determined by
belligerents or the exercise of those
rights to be permitted or denied arbi-
trarily by the government of a war
ring nation. The rights of neutrals
are as sacred as the rights of bellig-
erents and must be as strictly OBJ
served.
We hope that the radical change in
the methods of the French and Brit
ish governments that the secretary de-
will be made. The United
States is too good a friend of these
two governments for them to misuse
it's citizens in the way they have been
doing.
