CURRENT COMMENT
"Some Poor English"

1t would be interesting to know just
what the Vermont newspapers mean by
their well-nigh universal use of that
hideous compound "pre-MemoriaI," in
the locution, "pre Memorial exercises
were held" etc.
Used in this way the compound word
is absolutely meaningless. II has neither
sense nor grammar. Its use is simply
another example OF straining after
mouth filling words and swelling loeu-
tons to indicate small things and cover
paucity Of ideas.
We suppose the users OF the compound
mean "pre- Memorial day exercises but
that locution is awkward, and either is
wholly unnecessary. The exercises at
schools and elsewhere are held a few
days before May 80. but they are Me-
mortal exercises, and not "pre Memori-
al" wherefore why not call this thing as
well as all others, by its right name?
In the name of common sense and
Lindley Murray and all the grammar
ans before his time and after it, let us
drop this "pre Memorial nonsense

A NEW FACE AMONG THE L. S.
JUDGES.

The confirmation by the United States
Senate Of the nomination of Louis D.
Brandeis OF Boston to be an associate
Justice of the federal supreme court
was made by a decisive vote, more than
two to one, and thus long and bitterly
contested fight has been ended. Months
have been passed since the nomination
was made by President Wilson and al
most countless pages Of testimony have
been taken both for and against the Bos-
ton man. The attempt to block the APP
pointment was vain at the outset; the
opponents of the appointee knew it, but
they evidently hoped for change of
heart on the part Of the president when
their collective evidence should be placed
before him. So they continued the fight
long after they knew that they were
beaten. Wilson did not bulge He Is a
very stubborn man at times. Then came
the rapid denouement Of the fight against
the nomination. Brandeis goes to one
Of the most responsible positions in the
country. One of the chief arguments ad-
vanced against the man was his reported
lack of judicial temperament. That
is a natural trait rather
than an acquired habit, but still it is
possible for a man TO curb himself to
such an extent that he win gain partial
control Of the characteristic. The events
Of the past Few months, if Brandeis is a
nan Of fine sensibilities, must have
brought a new feeling Of responsibility /
o him, which should augur well for sat
sfactory service on the bench. The /
whole country hopes for good service
rom him.

The esteemed Burlington News lashes
itself into quite a fury because some Yer.
mont newspapers persist in using the
term "pre- Memorial" in designating the
patriotic exercises held in public schools
prior to the arrival of Memorial day. In
our humble opinion the term is not so
hideous,-nor so objectionable violation
of the English language, as the contem-
porary would have its readers believe;
and, even while we dislike to see the
steady-going News become over.heated,
we for one must insist on the right to
use the term, because ii connotes so
much in so little space. Pre- Memorial"
means to us patriotic exercises which are
held prior to Memorial day; and as such
it is expressive and not devoid of all
beauty.

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Believes South Main Street Good
Enough.


Editor, Daily Times What's the mat
ter with South Main street anyway? Al
one walks along its sidewalks, he see;
one OF the best streets in the city. II
dries early in spring. 1t is dry all sum.
mer. II remains dry late in the fall. II
rivals other streets in being free from
dust. 1t is hard 1t is smooth. 1t is a
beautiful highway for trolley car, auto
car, carriage or load of granite.
As one walks the streets of Edgewood,
or Perrin hill or Hooker hill; or takes
a glance at Granite street, River street,
Foster street and the other streets in
their vicinity; or views the streets round
about the poor farm and that costly
nearby; or looks upon the
streets in the section of the city denoted
by Woodchuck knoll--as one sees any or
all of these streets, he may be conscious
Of seeing streets which, in point of finish
and completeness, are hardly to be com
pared with South Main street.
Why, then, should our city council call
on the taxpayers to vote a $4,000 polish
On South Main?
Let the voters from all these other To-
,alties come TO the opera house hall at
J o'clock next Wednesday evening and
settle this matter.

Burlington is again secure in its posi-
ton as the convention city Of the state
now that the bars at the Van Ness and
the Vermont have been reopened.-
tleboro Reformer.
That's rather hard slam at conven-
ton goers, neighbors, because it might
seem to mean that the smell Of whiskey
is the attraction which draws the con.
ventions, when, as a matter of fact, many
conventions are DESTROYS of going to
places where there are no bars. Now
adays, it seems to us, the smell of the
bar is by no means an attraction for the
average convention of Vermont people
because vast majority of the people
attending those average conventions con
slider that they can get along without
liquor better than they can with It. How
ever, our judgment of the average con-
vention may be wrong.

OF 100 marriage licenses granted at
Bellows Falls during the months of April
and May only five were to home folks,
the other 1856 being for persons who
greta greened there from points without
the state. The reason is that Vermont
is the only state in New England which
does not require the five days notice of
intention to marry and Bellows Falls is
one Of the border points fairly easy of
access from Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire. Bellows Falls is getting
quite bit of notoriety therefrom, but OF
doubtful permanent value.

The Franco-German deadlock at Yer
dun has reached the stage when the mill
tary experts have come to a dispute over
which one Of the contestants is the more
exhausted as to men and munitions; but
just when the protagonists of one side
seem TO have the weight Of the argument
on their side the supposedly weaker side
rises up and smites back with fearful
force. Meanwhile, the other belligerents
in the great war are practically marking
time except perhaps for Austria. which
is beating frantioally at the defenses
built up by Italy in the mountainous re-
gions which mark the boundary between
the two countries. France and Germany.

The Point of Paint.

Chemically. the idea of painting the
outside of a house is to protect the new
woodwork with embarrassing mate
rial. of course, there is secondary
reason-that of decoration. We paint
our houses to make them attractive.
Primarily, however, paint or stain is used
to prevent woodwork from decaying, and
you may rest assured that just so long
as a frame house is kept well painted,
for just that length of time viii it re-
main in good repair. If, however, you
permit paint to become dingy and worn
to the point where the woodwork can
be attacked by the weather, your house
quickly deteriorates; so, remember the
stitch in time Charles f. White, Jr.,

WASHINGpDN. March l5.-Thc adj
miuistration bill to repeal tie free
sugar clause OF the Underworld
Simmons tariff law, which would take
effect next May, came up for general
debate in the House to-day, ana its
passage is expected tomorrow.
MI of the opposition to the measure
o-day came from three Democrats.
Representatives Bailey, Of Pennsyl-
vania; Heating, OF Colorado, and Van
dyke Of Minnesota.
Mr.. Bailey, who Is regarded Will
liam Jennings Bryan's spokesman III
the House. said il was true that the
country needed the money TO be de-
rived from retaining the present tariff
on sugar but that an economical en-
penditurc of public funds would have
made the proposed Legislation unneccs-
sary. Mr.. Heating insisted that the
measure would mean the adding of l
cent a pound Ia sugar. TO lie divided
nifty fifty between the United states
and the sugar trust" Mr.. Nandyke
took a similar position.
Republican speakers twitted the
Democrats about adopting a protective
tariff measure. Representative Long
worth, of Ohio. formally welcomed the
Democrats into the Republican party.
He said il WAS the first time in n
century that tho entire membership OF
the Ways and Means Committee had
agreed on a tariff bill.
Representative Collier, OF Mississippi,
In opening debate for the bill, en-
planned that the change In economic
conditions caused by the war made the
repeal necessary.
