Still At Large.

William Jennings Bryan is still at
large. A few days ago he addressed a
joint session of the legislature of
Florida with an appeal urging an at
tempt be made to curtail the ruthless
campaign of the German U-boats by
applying the principles of the So
called Bryan Peace Plan," which
provides for an investigation before
war measures are taken.
A mad dog, running amuck through
the streets attacking everything in his
pathway is promptly shot. His acts
warrant prompt action. Germany is
the mad dog of the nations, running
amuck through the world, attacking
everything in it's pathway, and de-
serves the same treatment. No inves-

What Vermont Has Done

In the unanimous passage of a bill
placing 100000 at the disposal of
the Governor for the equipment and
maintenance of troops Vermont is
the third New England state to act.
So far as we know it is the first state
in the Union without q seacoast to
appropriate money for soldiers for
service in the federal army. Com
pairing it's appropriation with those by
other New England states Vermont
makes a very creditable showing
Massachusetts lead with an appro-
priation of $1,000,00O, or practically
thirty cents per capita; New Hamp
shire was next with an appropriation
of 100000, or $1.16 per capita; Yer
mont with it's s1,000,000 appropria-
ton is raising $2.79 per capita.
Remarkable progress was made last
clothing for one regiment of Vermont
troops at war strength. Confidence in
the action the state legislature would
take made it possible for the Cover
nor and Adjutant General to act
quickly and secure contracts ahead of
other states. This action will enable
Vermont to be one of the first states
to get fully equipped troops into ac-
tive service. This is an important
accomplishment because every days
training now will mean saving of
lives in case of actual fighting.

A Resignation Not To Accept

81 The announcement by Principal M.
Academy last Friday morning that he
had rendered his resignation TO the
trustees Of the Academy was a great
surprise to them and the general pub

Academy and therefore cannot say
with any authority what should be

Prin. Benedict took charge of the
Academy in 1909. At that time the
institution was heavily in debt. I'm

been paid and more than $4,000 have
been spent in improvements. The ex-
penses of the school have been mater.

force of five members, but this in.
creased expense has been met.

The acceptance Of two Germans from
the war bound North German Lloyd
liner, kronprinzessin Cecilie, as mem>
bers Of the Ninth Regiment band is a
surprising act. We can conceive of no
better plan for the Germans to keep
posted on American affairs than to
have two members attached to an
American regiment in active service.
While the two men have declared their
intentions Of becoming American cit-
zens it seems fool hardy to give them
a place in the American army.

Congressman Dale Interrogated.
On Monday next Porter II. Dale of

take the oath of Office as congressman

of Vermont. For two years past he
has been q congressman, quite regu-
lar in his attendance and learning his
uiace in tina. important BODY. He
was assigned to unimportant commit
tees and we fail to find any special
activity on his part as a representa-
tive of Vermont Now he begins his
second term as an experienced legis-
lator and we feel the people of the
state have the right to inquire bit
about the service he is able to give
them.
For two years past this country has
heen facing the probability of war.
The army and navy have been most
ii1adequately equipped for activity.
What have you done. Mr.. Dale, to
bring about preparedness?
During the past session of congress
additional revenue was secured by in
creasng the taxes very largely levied
on the people of New England and
New York, and from which the South
was exempt. What did you do to
prevent this injustice to the people Of
this section, L
Last summer the members Of the
Vermont National Guard entered the
service of the federal government and
went to the Mexican border clothed
and equipped at the expense of the
state of Vermont. Their equipment
was condemned by the national gov
eminent and the boys sent home with
out any equipment or compensation
for the equipment that was taken
from them. Have you done anything
to secure justice for Vermont and it's
troops in this matter?
The post Office department in its eff
fort to economize has discontinued
mail service on some trains on the
Boston and Maine railroad, greatly
curtailing the service of people in this
section. What have you done to pre-
vent this curtalment of service?
One of the first duties of Congress
will be the selection of committees
when members will be placed, to some
degree, in the places they have fitted
themselves for. The committee ap.
pointments show the rating Of mar
among his colleagues. Where arc
they placing you?
s. These questions are not asked ir
hostility We ask them because VIZ
think the representatives from Yer
mont should have something to say
about these things. If the man from
the second district cannot do these
things, it is time to look around for {
suitable successor. Congressman Dale
was sent back for a second trial with
out any serious opposition because the
people were willing to give him time
to learn the duties of the position. Blu
now that he is experienced they will
expect him to creditably represen
them in the great issues before tn,
country or step aside and allow
man who can do things to take hi
place.
