Not The Guardsmen's Fault.

(St. Adams Messenger.)
"The Vermont National Guard sup
posed they were called out to meet a
national crisis. 1t transpires that our
boys were sent to the Rio Grande region
in a vain effort to maintain the passing
glory of an incompetent national ad-
ministration at Washington, and we of
Vermont have played into Wilson S
hands with ngeanee.-Burlingto

1t matters not what the boys were
sent to the Rio Grande for, they never
thelcss were deserving of everything the
Legislature did for them. 1t would have
been a rank injustice fro them and
their dependents TO have been penalized
for the mistakes of the Wilson admin

Where Hopkins Comes In.

AS the town clerk of Brattleboro
happens to be a justice of the peace
and also q florist, it makes it very con
venient for the couples that flock to
Vermont to escape the delay due to
the marriage license provisions of
other states. The clerk issues the license.
marries the couple and supplies the
bridal bouquet, all without loss of time,
and collects a triple fee. This is what
is making Bratt1eboro an ideal Gretna
Green, and robbing Bellows Falls of
much of its notoriety or fame. But aside
from those that directly profit from this
marriage traffic the people of Vermont
are not very proud of it. They dislike
the reputation it is bringing on their
state, and the agitation for a reform
has become so strong that the next
legislature is expected to enact a law
that will put stop to the rapidly
growing scandal.

statement in the house of commons that
the war is to be of long duration from

to have a depressing effect upon the

know that Great Britain and the othe-
allies are laying in for a long war even

TeutOnic demand for peace, a demand
which has been growing more and more
insistcnt since the concerted allied drive
was started this summer. Col. Churchill
undoubtedly was speaking for a double
purpose when he made the statement
the purpose to spur the entente allies on

sible, the Prussianism that is in control
of the empire at the present time.

There is a nation wide interest in the

Despite vigorous objections by Sena.
tor Underwood of Alabama and other
Southern senators, the senate has decid-
ed that youths of eighteen years can en-
list IN the military service of the United
States. The question came up finally i'll
the senate few days ago when that
body was reconsidering the army appro-
priation bill following President vii
son S veto. 1t was an old question, one
that had been thoroughly discussed be-
fore, but to the surprise of all senate
observers that body reversed it, posi-
ton and instead of holding out for mini.
mum enlistment age of twenty-cne
years, agreed that eighteen years wms
enough. Senator Underwoor forced a
roll call on his proposed amendment to
the bill liking twenty-onc as the mini
mum age, but it was defeated by a vote
of twenty-five to twenty-three.

EXEMPTIONS TO STAND.
Three Thousand Dollars is Still Income

exemption in the administration reve-

Discussion of the amendment was
marked by a bitter exchange between
Democratic senators in charge of the
bill and Senator Underwood, author of
the present tariff law, who, as Demo
cratic leader of the house, had promi-

revenue legislation. Chairman Simmons
of the finance committee reminded the
Alabama senator that it was a long

to stand by the decisions of their party
caucus, and Senator Stone, also a mem

Underwood deserved severe censure for
