The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1916-12-15

Great Britain proposes to place mil
lion more men under arms. Where she
will get them is a question. Possibly
some move is in contemplation like that
adopted in Germany, and called the home
army plan, in which the elderly and the
incapacitated for strenuous service are
enlisted for internal operations while the
Younger and the more fit are sent to the
various fronts. 1t was thought that
Great Britain, or at least that section
comprising England and Scotland, had
been rather thoroughly combed for re
cruits of the able bodied sort. but the
general calling of women into the various
civil employments may release great
many men vet for active military sery-
ice. In spite Of the fact that the employ
ment Of women in some sorts of factories
has not proven wholly satisfactory, Great
Britain must depend to great extent
on that scheme in order to keep the vast
armies in the field in full ranks.

The "Run-0f" Idea.

In the states of the South which have
had popular primary much longer than
we have had it in the North, and where
because OF the dominance of the DEM
ocratic party-primary day is really cleo
tion day, they have added device which
they speak of rs the "run.otf' day They
allow any number of candidates TO en-
ter the race, as we do here, and if no
one gets a majority, the ranking tw-
20 on the ballot in subsequent contest
to decide which should be the nominee.
Preferential balloting would accomplish
the same result, but that is considerably
more elaborate and would require some
explaining to an untutored constituent
cy.
Aside from the objection of adding an
other voting day to our already over
burdened list, the "run-off' idea is al
together admirable. In New Hampshire,
for example, when it comes time for
nominating senatorial candidates Sena-
tor Hollis can doubtless have the nomi-
nation of his own party and as the man
in office will possess undeniable strength.
On the Republican side Mr.. Rosecrans
w. Pillsbury is almost sure to get the
nomination against a divided opposition,
and yet his candidacy experience
suggests would be exceedingly risky.
If the Granite state could supplement it's
primary law in the coming legislative
session with a ''run-of" provision, az
many aspirants as pleased could 90 into
the contest. and then Mr.. Pillsbury and
the opponent in Republican primaries
who stood highest could test their
strength in a second polling
Our lawmakers and constitutions max
ers may well give heed to the need which
has brought into existence the "run-off'
day 1t undoubtedly fills an aching void.
If there could have been a "run-of
among the Republican candidates for the
congressional nomination In the l4th dis
trict in September. the G. Q. p, instead
of taking Mr.. Kincaide, the former can
didate of the Progressives, whose indi-
vidual strength happened to be greatest
Of any aspirant, would probably have
nominated some one capable of making
more general appeal with results at
the ballot box which would have been
reversed. Other examples of this sort
abound. Give us 'run-oh," or the
equivalent-Bosto Herald.

ends is the Vermont Association for the
Prevention of Tuberculosis, In the fur
theranee of its work IL urges all people
Of the state to purchase the little Red
Cross Christmas and New Year seals
and 80 per cent Of the proceeds OF the

the work of reducing tuberculosis In the

generous response ON the part of the en-

contribute something by purchasing a
few of them. Preferably, buy a
dollars worth. You will rest assured
that 90 cents of the amount will be di-
reeted toward fine work, the other 10
cents being devoted to cost OF admins

ance were reviewed and II was found
that in ass eases one only Of the parents
OF the applicant was stated TO have died

As to heredity. Mr.. Hunter said; my
first investigation consisted of cases OF
persons insured in six companies, both
parents having died of cancer prior TO
date OF application for insurance. OF
472 grandparents of the insured, the
cause of death was given in 23i cases OF
which two were from cancer; the cause
of death was stated in 1874 of these as
old age the average age at death OF
which was 50. In ~ of the grandparents
the cause of death was not known, but
the age was given, the average being o.
in 1875 eases neither the age nor the cause
of death was known. II is reasonable to
conclude that II only two died of cancer
out of 234 parents of persons who died
of cancer, that disease is not hereditary.
"The possibility of heredity in cancer

beings there has been no previous at.

ter of the policyholder had died from
that disease. II might be expected,
therefore, that ii cancer were hereditary,
it would be shown very clearly in the
family records OF these persons, but this
has not appeared.
sNfen and women who are in anxiety
of mind on account OF the appearance OF
cancer in their ancestry or immediate
family, may dismiss such anXieties, as
there is no statistical evidence at the

The formation of machine gun com
panv of the Vermont National Guard at
ST. Adams means an important step to-
ward the development of the states mill
tary organization. The guard has been
weak in that branch of the service for
long time, or ever since the machine
guns possibilities were definitely estab-
lished. Modern warfare has shown con
clusively that the machine gun is one OF
the most powerful weapons thus far pro
duced; and the Vermont military depart
ment, to be up to date, must famliarize
a part of its men at least in the handling
of the guns.

Such state organizations as the grange
would extend their influence if they
should rove about the state a little, that
is, hold their conventions in long un-
visited sections instead of shuttlecocking
back and forth between two or three
communities. The question of accessible
ity has. of course, to be dealt with in the
decision about the place of holding the
convention, but there might well be a
slight sacrifice in convenience in return
for the revivifying influence eonven-
ton would have on some rarely favored
