The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1916-04-21

AS an item of encouragement for the
resumption of activity by the Barre
Board of Trade it ought to be stated
that the balance in the treasury of the
organization at the opening of the year
is considerably larger than that to be
found in the treasury of several similar
organizations throughout Vermont, and
that, too, in spite of the fact that little
or no attempt was made during the last
year to collect dues of the members
The Bennington Board of Trade, for in
stance, which is quite an active body al
though small in numbers, started the
present year with S245 as against Barre's
Sligo. The Barre Board of Trade has
a very good financial standing at the
outset of its renewed efforts

sHRI-NkEN PATRInTSl

For many months, or ever since the
first STRINGS Of the machinery Of presi-
dental politics. the government Of the
United States a. represented by Wood
row Wilson has been attacked for a TEN
porizing policy with respect TO certain
bellieerents in the European war, for its
alleged failure % adopt a strong. virile
attitude to prevent the infraction Of in
ternational rules of warfare and for Va
rious other Deficiencies. Possibly there

the administration did not take vigor
GUS position to assert the rights of hu.
manity. Since that time the attacks
have not only been kept up but they have
increased in intensity. Why a iellyish
government? they shouted, Why a
China fled United States2 And various
other things highly uncomplimentary to
the administration. All the time the ad
ministration, we believe, was acting in
good faith, in an earnest effort to uphold
the honor and dignity of the United
States and yet not to force the United
States into a terrible war. Still the oc.
casions multiplied in which it seemed
that the belligerents failed to abide by
the rules CT warfare and by the common
demands of humanity There came
time, therefore, when the forbearance of
the government as represented by Wood
row Wilson, could be maintained no long
er. The limit of human patience was
reached. In accordance Herewith, the
administration adopted that virile, even
defiant, attitude, for which there had
been such clamor. An ultimatum was
sent to Germany.
Immediately with the dispatching of
that ultimatum there came change in
the attitude of those very elements which
had been accusing the administration of
a iellyfsh makeup. Their faces became
long They shook their heads. They, |
fguratively speaking, wrung their hands.
They, finally, uttered words of doubt as
TO the wisdom of The particular choice of
courses made by the president. They all
ut once became apprehensive Of the re-
suit Of the ultimatum. In short, they
got what they had been clamoring for;
and then they turned their backs on the
persons who had secured il for them

With 100 workmen and presumably
some foremen employed in the factory at
the moment of the outbreak OF the fire
which destroyed a munitions shop in
Rutland on Wednesday, it would seem to
be possible that someone of the number
must know the cause of the fire. In the
investigation, providing there is to be an
investigation, the evidence of the men
ought to develop some facts which will
determine the cause, to settle once for
all whether there is any ground for sus
picion of malevolent design.
