The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1916-08-12

ceptacles there is no good excuse for let
ting the waste material fly about to be-
come an eyesore to spot of beauty and
to lend the appearance of untidiness in
general. 1t would be as easy to dispose
of the refuse by placing it in some par
ticular place, where it could be attended
to later on. When scattered over the
landscape it detracts greatly from the
beauty of the place and gives very poor
impression OF the spirit OF the people who
are accustomed to use the grounds. These
DAYS when great many tourists are
passing through the region there should
be special pains to see that the thorough
fares are kept tidy. The Times trusts
that the word of caution expressed by the
writer of the communication will be
needed

CURRENT COMMENT
Mr.. Hughes on the Stump.

The series of addresses which Mr..
Charles f. Hughes is now delivering
throughout the Northwest bears impress
sive evidence that he is one of the most
effective campaigners that this country
has ever heard. New York learned this
in his two gubernatorial candidates. and
the rest OF the country is now finding it
out. He is much the type OF speaker of
BENJAMIN Harrison, He exhibited di-
rectness of style, lucidity OF argument
and a capacity Tor neatly turning a
phrase which Mr.. Hughes seems also to
possess in a happily marked degree.
Ii i no small task to make a campaign
tour as a presidential candidate This
altitudinous prominence shuts off the pos
sibility of repeating with some frequency
the same speech, a practice which in
variably comes to the relief of ordinary
mortals. While we in the East may not
be reading every word that the candidate
SAYS. the cities along the route are doubt
less following him closely. and for each
one he has to get up something which IS
fresh, as well as sufficiently
to the point to command the attention Of
the country.
Everything that a presidential candi
date says is subject to the searching
analysis Of political opponents, as well
as TO daring challenge from every other
quarter. In all these respects Mr.. Hughes
is acqaIttInc himself well. In his contro-
vcrsies over the administration indifer-
ance TO civil service reform, and its treat
ment Of the heads Of scientific bureaus,

THE ITALIAN OFFENSIVE

| With the bulk OF the Austrian army
engaged in conflict with the hordes OF
Russians in Galicia and other parts Of the
eastern war front, with Austria's human
resources sadly drained by two years
fighting and with the tide turning in ia
vor OF the entente allies, it would seem to
be a most opportune time for the italian
army to conduct the vast offensive"
which the newspaper dispatches have her
aided The Italian forces in the noun
tain region lying between Italy and Aus
tria are not confronted by as large an
army now as they were some months ago,
or before the Russians began their great
drive; and they have sustained far less
losses and must have piled up immensely
greater munitions than the Austrians.
Therefore, everything would seem to ia
vor the success of the Italian campaign,
barring, Of course, the lay of the land,
which is such as to enable relatively
small force Of men to resist for consid-
cradle time much greater force that is
attacking the heights. II ever the Ital-
ians are destined to win a great deal of
territory from the Austrians now is the
time.
The capture of Goritzia constitutes a
very important step in the campaign and
it helps to unlock the situation to con-
siderable extent. If all the reports from
Rome can be given credence the Austrians
had fortified Goritzia most formidably in
order to make determined stand against
any invasion by their southern enemy. !
The capture of that city, together with
fortified heights overlooking it, makes
the first serious entering wedge of an
Italian offensive that has tremendous |
for bringing an end to the
war Trieste and Pola are the next
points upon which Italy looks with covet-
BUS eyes; and it is going to be difficult
1t least, while it may be taken for grant
ID that the Italians will make strong
Effort to win Pola, the naval base of the
Austro- Hungarian nation and a most inn
oortant point. If Trieste and Pola should
all, Austria would be done for, what
With the losses of territory she is sus-
aiming in the eastern part of the do
main.

Col. Kittredge Haskins.

By the death of Colonel kittredge Has
kins, our sister state of Vermont loses
one of her most substantial men--one
who had been closely identified with the
best interests of state and nation. 1t is
difficult to believe the statement, found
in his obituary notices. that Colonel
Haskins was so years old; so recently
was he prominent figure in public at
fairs. A native of Vermont, Kittredge
Haskins was one of her most loyal sons
A lawyer of marked ability he served
one term as state attorney of Windham
county, and seven years as United States
attorney for the district of Vermont, As
member and speaker of the Vermont
House of Representatives, and as state
senator. he had commanded the conf
dence and respect of all his associates;
and his fine qualities were recognized on
still broader scale during his four
terms in Congress. His devotion to that
which he considered his duty was illus
trated by his course during the Civil war.
Disabled in the service after he had en-
listed in the sixteenth Vermont voun-
teers, he Immediately entered the Office
of the assistant quartermaster, and
served as civilian employe until the
close Of the war. Only two years ago he
completed a four year term as postmas-
ter at Brattleboro.
1t is a fact not without significance, in
this worka-day world, that so able and
so busy man as Kittredge Haskins was
for half century, up to the time of his
death, an active cllurchman; and that no
small portion of his precious time and
energy was given with enthusiasm to the
work of the Episcopal diocese Of Yer
mont. His receipt Of the honorary de-
gree of doctor OF laws from Norwich
eight years ago occasioned ia
vOrable comment at the time. a well it
might; for il was small enough recogni- /
ton, on the part Of prominent educa-
tional institution Of his own state, for a /
man of Colonel Haskins calibre.
Vermont has experienced real loss BY I
he death OF Kittredge Haskins. So. for 1
hat matter, has all New England: for

The interests of Barre granite viii be
looked after quite satisfactorily at the
annual meeting of the National Retail
Monument Dealers association in Cleve-
land next week by the three score OF peo-
pie who are to go to Cleveland for the
purpose. Members of the party will be
enthusiastic boosters for the Barre in
dustry, and at the same time they will
produce some visible proofs of the excel
lence of the Barre product in the shape Of
10 carloads of finished monumental work
Barre does not desire to be unduly OBJ
trusive but does desire to have its prod
ucts placed before the people of the
United States in a degree that the merit
of the produce demands Hence, the un.
usual efforts that have been put forth to
have a good representation at the annual
convention of the monument dealers, to-
gether with some of the finest specimens
of Barre's work of the smaller size. We
wish for the Barre party a successful and
plea SAINT trip to the convention city and
return.

"Mr. Hughes Dilemma"

Mr.. Charles Evans Hughes must be
wondering just where he will detrain on
the question OF woman suffrage. His
public statement in favor. of federal
amendment has stirred up difficulties of
political nature at the very start.
In Mr.. Hughes own state the people
only last fall voted down woman suffrage
by a 100000 majority. New York state
is a fairly important community when
the electoral votes are counted Mr..
Hughes must be giving some thought to
that.
Now it is quite different in Kansas,
where suffrage is already doing very
well and where Mrs Eva Harding. Demo
erat, is n the lists as a candidate for
Congress against Congressman Anthony,
male and Republican. Of course Mr..
Hughes will be expected TO say few
good words in Kansas for Congressman
Anthony and Congressman Anthony will
discourse with enthusiasm for Mr..

The Railway Labor Crisis.

The railway brotherhoods refused to
join the railways in an appeal to the ma
tional Cancellation board for mediation,
alone the brotherhoods accepted it TO
the extent Of promising to give consider
alton to any proposal that the federal
board might make.
/ Thus at the last moment, when strike
seemed inevitable, an armistice has been
arranged for further negotiation The
brotherhoods have rejected the proposal
OF the railways for an arbitration Of dir
ferences, but it is doubtful whether they
will be willing TO assume the response
bllity of refusal should a proposal to the
same effect be made by the federal
board.
The brotherhoods reject the estimate
of the railway managers that TO yield to
their demands would add Sl00,000,00 to
the railway labor bill As things now
are ten hours, or 100 miles of travel ii
accomplished in less than ten hours, con.
stitutes a days work There is no ex-
ira allowance for overtime. Consequent
~ the speed OF railway freight trains
has become slower and slower, and an
increasing number Of trainmen are sub
jected to long hours il is contended
that If railway freight trains are moved
as fast as twelve and one half miles an
hour 1879 miles can be covered in eight
hours, and that thus the railways will be
able to move as much freight as now
with no increase in labor cost 1t is the
opinion of these trainmen, who think
they know the railway business. that
there is no good reason why freight
trains should be moved as slowly as they
are now They assert that by the adop
ton of better and more efficient methods
railroad managers can prevent any mate
rial increase in railway labor costs un
der the eight hour day, notwithstanding
the extra allowance for overtime. The
case of the men has not been adequately
presented to the public, and there is
more reason than appears in the hrmness
of their attitude,
Nevertheless the men face the practical |
question that persistence in reiec-
ton of arbitration offers will put them
in wrong with the public, and that if
they lack public sympathy the strike |
is not likely to succeed. An expert board |
that goes into the details of train serv /
ice should be able to work out a plan I
that will stop the long hours whose stop
page seems the chief objective of the
York Globe.

The selectmen of many towns in Yer.
mont have been negligent this summer in
the matter of cutting away the brush and
small trees in close proximity to the
highway, their failure having added to
the inconvenience of travel and even to
the actual danger. This applies particu-
larly to sections where curves in the high
way are bordered by this obstruction to
vision, the result being that there is
grave danger of collision between auto
mobiles or between automobiles and
teams or between teams Some of Yer
mont's roads are twisting enough in and
of themselves to make travel extremely
hazardous even at slow speed; and the
added handicap of obstructed vision
makes them very much more of menace
The people of every town should courte-
ously bring this matter to the attention
of their selectmen and request that the
brush and small trees closely bordering
the highway be cut without further de-
lay Prompt work along this line NAV

"There is no mistake, the food Is ex-
cellent," writes home member OF the
lst Vermont infantry now encamped at
Eagle Pass, Tex; and he gives sample
menu of the dinner as follows: 1--WE have
iced tea or lemonade, bread and butter
potatoes and meat, and also soup; then
for big top-off, as the boys call it, big
plate of good pudding" Surely good
enough for anyone, and far better in fact,
than richer foods for existence in that
climate. That there is plenty of it is
further revealed by the same writer, who
declares: "After YOU have been around
for the second time you are pretty well
filled up" The suppers are not quite so
ample, but they are substantial for an
evening meal, consisting of coffee, bread
and butter, potatoes and meat, and either
apple sauce, prunes or peaches" Rela
tives and friends of the boys at the front
need not fear that the soldiers viii suffer
for want of good, wholesome rations, and
plenty of them.

people to learn that the prison records OF
