Hughes viii Not Bring War.

One of the most effective replies
to President Wilson's statement that
if republicans win there will be war
with Europe, that we have seen is
that of Charles w. Fairbanks, re-
publican candidate for vice president.
While speaking at Los Angeles he
said:
The suggestion which is now and
then heard to the effect that republi-
can victory will tend to our entering
the European war is a base utterance
which the stress of a political cam
paign does not warrant.
Mr.. Hughes as president will firmly
insist upon the observance of our in
ternational rights-not as a means of
war-but as an assurance against it.
Not one word that has come from his
lips can lead any rational mind to the
conclusion that he would jeopardiZe
the peace of our country. He knows
the law and the measure of our rights
and duties and is the last man to
invite war with any power on either
side of the Atlantic.
1t is because the American people
believe that the observance of our
international rights will assure us
against war that President Wilson
has been driven to make such I'M
truthful statements.

county courts in past years but now
any appeal is made direct from the
commission to the supreme court, so
they do not go into the county courts
at ALL The record of the Industrial
Accident Commission is instructive
The first year of its existence it heard
5,O43 claims for damages, and it's
work for the second year is running
about one-third more. 1t has award
ed damages amounting to $139, 931.47
and allowed. attorneys fees of only
S196.34 in all this business. Out Of
the 5,O43 cases decided there has been
but one appeal to the supreme court.
OF course all of these cases would
never have gone to the county courts
but many of them would, and a part
of them to the supreme court and
back again to the county court. IN
der the present system the courts are
relieved of all this work and we feel
the state should not continue to pay
salaries to a greater number of judges
than are necessary to do the work of
the courts in respectable and sat
isfactory manner.

generally suggested by the papers, in
GLIDING The Caledonian. But there
is another side to the question. This
can of eight and half quarts of
milk will average about sixty-eigh1
hundredths of a pound of butter fat.
Fifty cents for the milk would equal
about seventy-three and a half cents
a pound for butter fat, a price largely
in excess of what one can get for 1t
made into butter. So making milk
into butter apparently would not be
as profitable as selling the milk at so
cents a can. OF course where it is
made into butter the farmer has the
skim milk to feed on his farm, which
is worth something. There is also
more labor connected with it, so it is
some question whether a man can
make as much money making butter
as he can selling his milk at so cents
a can.

Moro GERMAN ..Frightfulness. :,

The sinking of six ships by German
southern New England is shocking
news to all Americans who had hoped
that Germany had abandoned it's
policy of frightfulness. Especially
discomforting is it to those good peo
pie who have been persistently crow
ing that Wilson has kept us out of
war" While he has not declared
hostilities he has not made American
citizens safe at sea while pursuing
their legitimate peaceful duties.
Pres. Wilson months ago notified
Germany that unless it abandoned it's
submarine warfare against passenger
and freight carrying vessels the Unit
ed States would sever diplomatic re-
lations with Germany. The sinking
of four British, one Norwegian and
one Dutch steamer right in the face
of the American government is Ger
many's answer. Can the administra-
ton swallow its former words and
overlook this affront? Possibly it
will but the American people can
never overlook this attack which has
imperilled the lives of scores of
Americans. Evidently one of the
most serious phases of European ag-
gression is before the American gov
eminent because attacks upon ships
loaded with Americans cannot be con-
tinued without the murder of Ameri-
can citizens

Isolation House Needed.

The selectmen have acted wisely in
calling a special town meeting to see
If the town will appropriate money
for the construction of an isolation
house where contagious diseases may
be taken and cared for. The neces-
sity of such a place was very forcibly
brought home when a suspected case
was discovered last Friday evening.
The selectmen and health officer had
to work until late hour at night
searching for a place to care for the
patient. Fortunately the case did not
prove to be any contagious disease, but
if it had been some place of isola-
ton would have been necessary for
several weeks.
A comfortable building can be
erected on the town farm property
that will be thoroughly isolated, the
selectmen believe, at a very moderate
cost. Then in case a contagious dis
ease breaks out in hotel, room or
other temporary stopping place, the
patient can be removed to this build
ing, receive proper care and not ex-
pose the public to his trouble. An
isolation house is needed and it should
he authorized by the voters now.

Why So Many Judges2

The increase of expenses in the
Judicial department of the govern
ment from $214.SS9.73 in 1903 to
$417,S76.99 in 1915 is receiving serl-
Gus consideration by the citizens Oh
Vermont. Has the litigation in the
state. increased enough to warrant
such an increase in expenses? While
the exact figures are not generally
known, the average man will say no.
We believe fewer cases are tried now
than in former years. But the state
has - judges now doing the work o.
the county and supreme courts.
Formerly il had seven. The state
has raised the limit of cases that can
be heard in the county courts anu
has IA judges of municipal or city
courts on its pay rolIF 1t has really
&c justices and judges doing the
work that for years was done by seven
judges presiding in the county and
supreme courts. We believe the
state will be better served by a re-
turn to the old system of having the
same judges for the country and su-
preme courts.
Much is heard of the congestion OF
business under the old system. Con-
ditions today are much different,
however. The establishment of an
Industrial Accident Commission to
adjust claims for damages in injuries
has greatly reduced the work of the
county courts. Damage suits for in
juries have been very common in
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1916-10-11

We realize it is a serious thing to
declare the president of the United
States is not honest, but if it is true
that he is dishonest we should have
the courage to say so. We recently
referred to dishonest statements made
by the president for political effect.
and now we quote the presidents own
words to show that he has been dis
honest in the conduct of the nations
business with other nations.
August q. 1913. President Wilson in
a message to Congress said:
I'VE cannot in the circumstances
be the partisans of either party to the
contest that now distracts Mexico, Or
constitute ourselves the virtual UNI
pire between them"
During that same month he sent
John Lind to Mexico with instruc-
tons saying:
1.-The government of the United
States does not feel at liberty any
longer to stand inactively by while it
becomes daily more evident that no
real progress is being made towards
the establishment of a government at
the City of Mexico which the coun.
try will obey and respect"
December 2, 1918. the president
said to Congress:
There can be no certain prospect
of peace in America until General
Huerta has surrendered his usurped
authority in Mexico; until it is under
stood on all hands indeed that such
pretended governments will not be
countenanced or dealt with by the
Government of the United States"
In his speech at Indianapolis, jan
uary 8, 1915, the president speaking
of the trouble in Mexico said:
1T is none of my. business and it
is none of your business how long
they take in determining it. 1t is
none of my business, and it is none of
ness. The country is theirs. The
government is theirs. The liberty, II
they can get it, and Godspeed them
in getting it, is theirs. And so far
as my influence goes while am presi-
dent nobody shall interfere with
them
The attack on MeXicans at Tampico
of which Secretary Lane of the presi-
dents cabinet said in a statement in
the Congressional Record said: 1--WE
did not go to Vera Cruz to force
Huerta to salute the flag. We did
go there to show Mexico that we were
in earnest in our demand that Huerta
must go, and he went before our
forces were withdrawn" shows the
dishonesty of the presidents state |
ment more than a year after the at
tack on Huerta that nobody shall in
terfere with the Mexicans.
More statements as contradictory in
nature might be quoted but the above !
are enough to show that President
Wilson could not have been honest
in the statements he made to Con-
gress and the American people about
the purposes of this government i'll
Mexico, and his statements last week
about war if the republican party |
should win are only another outbreak
of his deceitful disposition. 1t shows
us that a man dishonest as this In
the conduct Of international business
is not safe man to keep in power
or in control of our international
business.

While there have been but E

While there have been but Few
collisions between automobiles and
teams at night because the team did
not carry a light, there have been
many near accidents. The driver Of
a team can see an automobile as far
as the light shows, but the driver OF
an auto cannot see a team until he
is almost on it, and on sharp curves
may not see it at all. If the drivers
of teams realized the protection a
light on their vehicles would give
them it seems as though every one Of
them would carry a light. If they
will not, a law compelling them TO
carry light should be passed, but
no intelligent man should wait for a
law, he should carry a light on mis-
team every time he ventures on a
public highway after dark. 1t would
protect and help him and the driver
of an automobile.
