HONESTY IT'S OWN REWARD,
Rutland News,

A Brandon newsboy found a pack
age of $llO and soon thereafter met
the owner to whom he returned the
money. The loser, man from Proc
tor, gave the boy five cents, but did
not disclose his identity, II Ia related
that the boy was very much dis
appointed that his honesty was not
more munifcently rewarded, II does
seem strange, But the more con-
sequential fact is that the boy felt that
he was mistreated, Honesty, like
virtue; is, or should be, its own re-
ward In returning the money to its
owner the boy did the only possible
thing for his own salvation. He should
have expected nothing, 1t is really un-
fortunate that about everybody, young
and old, nowadays expects TO be paid in
money for every act that benefits an
other, whether il causes him any labor
or not. 1t is really the infusion Of the
tipping system, which carries with il
the idea of mentality, throughout
society.

WORTHY OF TRUST.
Springfield Reporter,

When Speaker Weeks of Mddlebury
was in Springfield he thrilled his
hearers at the Chamber of Commerce
by the statement that in but one of
the eight dormitories at the Industrial
school at Vergennes was it found nee
essary to lock the doors at all. Facts
brought out at the recent Commence
ment" atIthat institution are as fol-
lows: But 46 of the 286 inmates are
kept under lock and key at night, but
II are watched during the day, and,
out of an average attendance during the
year of 243, but four have made any
attempt to escape. Fourteen pupils
graduates" from that institution
last week and they were given reg
ulation diplomas and marched to the
chapel to the music of an orchestra
to receive their award of merit for
proficiency in scholarship. Some of
these graduates, one of whom is from
Springfield, will pursue their studies
in higher institutions and others will
at once enter upon the work of life,
while all of them will forever testify to
the incalculable benefit which they re-
ceived from their training under Mr..
Barss and his devoted associates.

RUM AND AUTOMOBILES,
Rutland News.

hNNlullu ANNMht
Brattleboro furnishes renewed proof
of the fact that whiskey is the poorest
thing in the world to mix with automo-
billing. As the result of the intoxicated
condition Of the three occupants Of an
automobile one woman is in the
Brattleboro hospital with little or no
hope OF recovery from her serious in
iuries and others are painfully hurt,
That the incident is taken most seriously
by the authorities at Brattleboro is
shown by the fact that the driver of the
machine is in jail in default Of $4,000
bail required pending the outcome Of
the injury to one of his inebriated
companions. AS matter of fact
only a small percentage of drunken
motor car drivers get into serious diff
fculty, but every one of them is a
terrific menace to himself and his com
panons and the public at large and if
the operator of an automobile is intoXi-
Gated it should be considered prima
facie evidence of purpose to do at
least bodily harm and he should be so
dealt with.

Il HAD TO COME.
Springfield Reporter.

In letter written to the Middle
bury Register by President Thomas,
who is now the chaplain of the First
Regiment at Eagle Pass, Texas, he
said, referring to his departure with
the regiment, Il had to come. | have
been for three years the chaplain of
this regiment, have had the benefit of
the training, and was regarded by Off
GERS and men as their friend and
chaplain. When they were called to
the front, simply could not refuse to
90 with them. How could ever stand
up and urge my students, or any one
else, to do their duty even in the face
of sacrifice, if finched in this great
crisis? A man must stand by his
conscience or his force is gone. -
We commend these words to every
young man in the State. They are the
utterances of a true patriot. Would
that the statement, "A man must
stand by his conscience, or his force is
gone" might be printed in gold and
hung upon the walls of every house
within the State. Here is a man whose
ambitions are worth while and every
Vermont mother may feel the safer
that her soldier son is under the fos-
tering care of such Christian man as
President Thomas.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
Bennington Banner.


There is a serious outbreak of infant
lie paralysis in New York and thous-
ands of children are being hurried from
the city by frightened parents. This
will result in bringing some cases of
the disease into Vermont and other
rural sections and all the precautions
possible should be observed. The con-
tagion is not as yet widespread and
there is probably not enough danger to
call for quarantine or the refusal of
asylum but there is always enough
menace in the matter of so fatal dis
ease to warrant care and reasonable
degree of isolation until the period of
greatest danger passed.

this splendid stream-it is as rich in
history as it is in wealth of nearby
fine farm lands. Mcintosh, sturdy
pioneer to this country, Highlander
who had taken part in the battle of
Culoden, Scotland under the Young
Pretender, built his cabin on the hill
side in site of the falls in 1865. His
humble home truthfully figured in
Thompson's Green Mountain Boys,
Ethan Allen, Seth Warner, Gamaliel
Painter and other patriotic characters
at that time meeting there for counsel.
The McDonough fleet, that made
history in the Battle of Plattsburg,
was fitted out at Vergennes. The
United States government maintained
an extensive arsenal at one time, and
the father of Colonel Ellsworth, of
the New York Zouaves, shot by an
Innkeeper for hauling down the Con-
federate flag from the Marshall house,
was commandant in Civil War days.
There is wealth of interesting incidents
surrounding our "oldest city," The State
industrial school now occupies these
grounds. Vergennes has good schools,
prosperous churches, and the Bixby
library, and a people worthy of it all,
and fully alive to its inspiring tradi-
tions.
That's why they celebrate in such a
fitting manner.

SOME TROUT.
Rutland News.

The Brattleboro Reformer quotes
from the Lyndonville newspaper an
item to the effect that two men
caught 6S trout of an average length
of nine inches long. 1t does a little
figuring on its own account. 1t esti-
mates the total catch, providing the
fish story is true, to have weighed at
least Is to 20 pounds. AS the legal
limit of catch for single person in
one day is five pounds, this fishing trip
palpably merits investigation by the
authorities.

GERMAN PAPERS REPLACEMENT
Say Country Will Follow Course in Submarine Warfare Despite U. s.

Amsterdam, Nov. 30-Aceusing President Wilson of attempting to make warfare impossible, German newspapers received here today bit terly commented again on Ameri- cas "unneutrality." They de- clared Germany intends to continue following her chosen course in submarine matters, despite cajolery and threats.
 The German people, says the Co., Iogne Folks-Zeitung, declare that President Wilson's mediation on the submarine question will not be ac- cepted. He is attempting to make submarining impossible, they say, If the submarine issue comes to a focus again, it will not be because Germany has broke her pledges, but because America is unneutral, for Ambassador Gerard promised that America would keep quiet if Ger many will fnlfll her promises. She has done this, they say.
 Germany will win the war, de- spite American unneutrality." said the Cologne Gazette We intend to follow our own council, with no in- terruption respecting submarine warfare, and will not allow Ameri- cas threats or flattery to influence us"

Differences Between Major General and RegimentalS May Be

 The belief was expressed in off, cial circles here that the differences between General Ryan and officers of the regiment would be settled amicably and the resignations with drawn lt was pointed out that re- signations rendered under such cir cumstances would hardly be ac- cepted by the war department
