THE ANNUAL RECKONING DAY.

The annual day of reckoning in Yer
mont is at hand Tomorrow the voters
Of every little republic" in the stat'
will have the opportunity to 20 to The
polls and place their seal OF approval OF
disapproval on the acts of their servants
during. the past year and to select those
who will carry on the collective business
of the 246 communities for year next
ensuing; and, in addition, they win have
the opportunity to say whether the sys-
tenn of direct primary elections and the
statewide prohibition law shall become
effective forthwith or shall be delayed
until March 20, 1927, and May /, 1927,
Incidentally they will have
the occasion to say whether liquor shall
or shall not be sold legally within their
corporate town or city limits, albeit the
vote in favor of license will be nullified
in case the prohibition law should be ac-
eepted, as the law would go into effect
May |, 1916. 1t is, therefore, one OF the
most important spring elections to be
held in Vermont for many years; and
the voters have no excuse for Sinking
their responsibilities in the matter of
voting, especially on the issues which
nave to do with drastic changes in the
avs of the state. A record breaking
yote, in the aggregate, is likely to be
asst tomorrow, weather conditions being
adorable, inasmuch as the substrata of
public opinion have been stirred up as in
10 recent years.

The people of the village of Woodstock
have a highly developed sense of the
beautiful, and perhaps OF the value OF
commercialized beauty when applied to
the appearance Of their community, for
they have been to considerable labor and
expense to transform their village, or its
central parts, into place of real attrac-
tiyeness. That is strong reason why
so many tourists both winter and sum
mer tourists, make their headquarters in
that town for long periods. There is no
particular attraction about Woodstock
other than acquired beauty and set
tied down quiet which appeals to many
people who are accustomed to the hurly
burly of large cities during the greater
part of the year.

CURRENT COMMENT
Mr.. Taft's Challenge.

Without abusiveness, William Howard
Taft gave hgh-minded warning to Bos-
ton universities law students yesterday
against a phase of our national life which
shadows a serious danger. His warning
was likewise a challenge to the young
men who listened, an appeal to their
mental integrity, which, firmly accepted
by them and by their fellows in the pro-
/ fession, can avail to destroy the very
danger which made the subject of warn
/ ing. Mr. Taft held no brief against
great corporate interests because they
/ are great. He called attention to the
I fact that the corporations of the coun-
| try, however large they may be, must
always remain lesser things than the in
terests of the nation and of justice for
the American people He asked that
young lawyers should hold to this larger
loyalty. In it they would find q pre-
sentative from that decay of intellectual
honesty which immersion in great cor
porate interests is all too likely to cause,
In such counsel as this, the nations
former president exposed the fault most
commonly made by the assailants of
great corporations, when they assume
that the officers and attorneys of these
interests have entered consciously into
illicit practices and illegal evasions. 1t
may be confidently said that the in
stances where this has occurred are the
exceptions, not the established rule. 1T
they were not, we should have no chart
TO human nature at all. that it could be
in man to govern all his personal con
duct by the high standards which make
the real success of great business men
wherever they may be found, and vet
act in his corporate relations with con
scious defiance of law. The warning and
challenge which young lawyers need to
hear is against a far more subtle and
inyidious destruction of their intellectual
honesty and their public spirit than can
be contained in any such misrepresenta-
tive abuse Of corporate interests.
The standards Mr. Taft sets may he

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"The Princess Pat" Got Distinct Approx.
al in Burlington

To-day's Burlington Free Press has the
following to say OF THE Pripeess Pat
performance which played in Burlington
Saturday night and which will be shown
at the Barre opera house tonight:
"a singer fitted to operetta and OBJ.
viously trained therein, Ruth Welch, was
the princess; pretty, yivacious and Of
pleasing resources of voice. In many
ways she revealed the acting sense. So
well equipped a singer, of such pellucid
charm does not come this way every
week. Playing her jealous Italian hus-
band, Georgia Gregario, sang with admir-
able finish, especially his Neapolitan love
song, and acted with fire. Paul Nichol-
som, who came here a season or so ago in
"A Pair of Skies was a Bob barrow of
infectious good nature and quiet fun.
Capital was the absurd Schmalz of Ben
Hendricks, smugly self-satistied and
broadly humorous His was a most anus
ing performance. Mirth provoking, too,
was Phillip III. Riley as the eccentric sher-
if, whose lament in song, The Shoes of
Husband Number One as Worn by Hus
band Number Two was one OF the hits
of the piece. Miss Ellie Toye was per-
sonal Grace Holbrook, and Earl Benham
did neatly as young Schmalz. There were
many others including comely coryphees.
and each supplied something Of value to
an engaging performance. And each was
an example OF the good fortunes in which
the cast was selected.
Received with the eager enthusiasm,
it deserved was the dancing of Loretta !
Marks and Francis Bryan, who did three
lovely advertisements in the last act. 1t /
was an exhibition OF absolute dancing /
non pantomimic, that was gracefully and I
spontaneously accomplished and that
gave therefore great pleasure. They
danced, apparently, with sheer JOY anG
zest, and the effect was something like

more serious because they not only are
not able to import their machines but
because even shipments OF parts" are
stopped, and they cannot in consequence
carry out contracts made before the war.
The only American firms which have
not reached an almost hopeless stage are
GEOGRAPHICALLY the manufacturers of
farming maehinery--which have plants
here in Germany. and which therefore
are largely independent of imports.
Many of these are said to be prospecting
by diverting temporarily their activities
to the production of ammunition.
American importers OF goods of every
kind long ago gave up Holland as coun-
try through which they could get mate
rial. Scandinavia has become the me-
dunn through which the little dribbles
come in. And the Scandinavian
countries, according TO the eoncensus of
opinion, are busily occupied in locking
out for themselves.
Some of the American business men in
Germany have discarded all scruples in
the matter of declarations, and very
frankly admit that whenever possible
goods declared to be intended for Den
mark or Norway are reshipped to Ger
many. Only in this way have the firms
been able to continue in business. An
other set of men, in the minority have
gone without that which is urgently
needed because they would not try to
deceive. The manager of great concern
in Germany has several hundred ma
chimes in Sweden which he could secure
in case his agent were to swear that the
were intended for Sweden. /
Such declaration would release the ma
chimes and they could easily be shipped
TO Germany,
Possibly seven out of every ten Amer
can business men have little hope that
The situation is to be or can be remedied.

To Vermont people that new granite
church structure in st. Johnsbury would
have looked better if the exterior had
been all Vermont granite instead of just
the trimmings.-Barrs tNt.l Times. The
Times does not say, as it might, that
the body of the church is of New Hamp-
shire granite Concord IN. H. Monitor.
Pardon us for the omission; but, the
fact is, we took it for granted that the
people would understand the granite
came from New Hampshire in case Yer
mont did not furnish it. New Hampshire
is sort of understudy for Vermont, you
know, when it comes to the furnishing
of granite for construction work in
northeastern Vermont. In this case New
Hampshire is entitled to all the credit
she has earned for securing a contract
to ship granite into Vermont, where most
of the granite of the world is produced.

While the attention OF the world i
chiefly centered on the death grip in
eastern France and southern Belgium
some very important happenings have
taken place in the theatre of war which
has its setting in Asiatie Turkey. There
the Russian forces have been making
some sweeping inroads into the territory
held by Turkey, marked strides having
been made in the dismem berment of that
ally of the central powers. The results
attained will have little direct effect on
the outcome of the war, vet they will
play an important part when it comes
to revamping the geography Of the world
after the declaration Of peace. no matter
which side wins. The central powers
and their allies are gradually being
stripped of their outlying sections and
colonial possessions so that in the swap
ping of lands in the final adjustment the
entente allies will have considerable to
60 and come on in the dicker. Turkey
seems likely to be a real loser in any
event.
