drawn an indictment which will fol-
low the Prussian autocracy to its
grave. Through him the United
States has answered present" at the

What always should have been done is

voice which yesterday outlined nation

passed out March 29th.
II has always been common sight
because the man that wrote il was a
busy man with greatly diversified in
terests and had occasion to sign his
name TO a vast number Of documents
Az editor and proprietor Of The
Manchester Journal for thirty-five
years the signature was we'll known
on receipts, etc.
As town clerk for thirty-fve years
that signature was appended to all the
records from 1873 to 1908, and to
every ballot that required the town
clerks signature to make it valid
As postmaster for eight terms that
signature has appeared upon thous-
ands Of official government papers,
and written always with the same
easy abandon.
The familiar signature will be miss

these years has lived his existence
here amongst US!
For almost half century d. X.
6imonds' face and form have been seen
almost daily in this village doing his
work in his own quiet way. Though
slow Of speech and action his mind
was ever keen and alert thus enabling
him to accomplish an immense amount
of work with little apparent effort.
He had great power Of concentration
and thus saved much valuable time.
When one stops to consider the
amount Of work he accomplished in
his years Of activity it will be seen
that it was only by this alertness and
power of concentration that he was
able all at the same time to conduct
a newspaper, be postmaster, clerk Of
the fire district and village, town
clerk, clerk Of the Battenkill Valley
Fair Association and register of
Probate for many years. Added to
these activities should be his services
in the social and religious life of the
community. His whole life was one
Of service; service TO his country, to
his family and to his friends.
A noble life has passed out Of this
earthly existence and another friend
has gone.

common peril.


Nor shall one overestimate the
meaning to Russian people, newly
freed from its chains, of the announce
ment that the Oldest of great repub-
lies has taken it's stand beside the
youngest.
And tomorrow may it not be that TO
words there will be Joined acts and
American soldiers will take their
place beside the other soldiers of lib
erty? For not the least admirable Of
the Presidents declarations is that
which calls for universal service, for
that training of the manhood Of
America which will enable the nation
to perform its share in the great task
of liberating mankind from the Ger
man menace. Not less admirable are
those wise suggestions outlining the
future cooperation Of this country
with those already enlisted in the
great struggle.
No praise can be too high for the
words and the purposes Of the Presi-
dent. Never in all the long period in
which he has directed American policy
has he seemed to come nearer to the
ideal Of the American people, the ideal
of President who should lead, not
one who watchfully awaited the deci-
sion of people who themselves asked
for light.
We are done with many Illusions,
some of which we have all shared,
some Of which have been due mainly
TO Mr.. Wilson's own mistaken view of
the facts Of the European conflict.
We are done with the doctrine Of too
proud to fight" We have laid aside
the futility of mediation We have
finally laid the ghost Of EARNED neu-
trality." We have dismissed all the
policies which were but phrases and
the phrases which were but words.
We have at last recognized as ma
ton that there can be no compromise
with murder and no paltering with
assassination, even when assassination
flies a flag and claims the character
Of civilized nation.
All over the world there will be
Americans today who will find in the
decision made yesterday by the Presi-
dent a cause for new confidence and
new hope. After all, despite temper
,ry weakness, momentary faltering,
he American people have not proven
'alse TO their history or betrayed their
Tradition

There seems to be q considerable
discrepancy in the farmers prices for
potatoes in Middlebury at present.
Within the past week or 10 days A No.
potatoes have been sold at $3.50 to
So bushel, while other producers are
asking 1925. The retail price at the
markets is $40 bushel and it looks
as if the people who have potatoes to
sell are getting somewhat timorous
over the outlook and are expecting a
very appreciable drop in prices within
the very near future.

A GREAT DOCUMENT

The judgments of the moment are
frequently Of but transitory value
Yet, reading President Wilson's mes
sage to Congress at the moment Of its
delivery, it seems one of the great
documents of history, reaching in a
new and yet in the original spirit
those noble words Of Lincoln, with
malice to none"
Certainly no document that Mr..
Wilson has written since he took
Office has SO completely expressed the
decision Of the American people as
that message to Congress in which the
President last night set forth the case
of the American democracy, Of democ-
racy the world over, against that
German autocracy which has borrow
ed the name as it has adopted the
character Of Prussianism.
If anything were needed to give to
the Presidents indictment final
force it was the fact that coincident
with his address there arrived the
news of the murder of more Ameri-
cans and the sinking of one more
American ship. The fact Of war has
long been before US; it needed only
the words Of the President Of the
United States, long withheld, to estab-
lish clearly in the minds Of the least
thoughtful that peace with Germany,
as it is at present organized, was i'm
possible.
1t would be difficult to improve up
on Mr.. Wilson's indictment of the
German assault, not upon American
lives alone, but, as he properly and
justly pointed out, upon mankind. 1t
is, as he said, warfare upon man
kind" that Germany is making and
that Germany which is making it is,
in fact, an outlaw"
Those who most regret that the
President has so long delayed his
declaration will be the first to recog-
nize that, having come to the point,
he has drawn an indictment which will
remain fixed in the minds Of his own
people and will be welcomed and prop
erly acclaimed by those nations and
by those people which have long car
ried forward the bitter struggle with
the German menace at close range.
No man can exaggerate the moral
effect in Europe today Of President
Wilson's words. The last great neutral
nation, the last great civilized people,
having long observed the progress OF
the world war with earnest desire to
avoid conflict, has at last proclaimed
through its Chief Executive that peace
with a German spirit in the world is

sion will be passed from mouth to
