Pershing withdraws the American
troops from the Mexican border.
Reason: The impracticability of ac-
tually capturing Villa" That
sounds nice, but just how does it re-
fleet credit to American arms and
this republic? Rather humiliating
all around, we think. The hundreds
of American lives brutally treated
and killed by Mexican bandits

their native land for a just punish
ment of their slayers. This molly
coddle treatment of the Mexican
situation has disgraced our flag,
shamed our patriotism and made
honor and justice, American man.
hood and womanhood, secondary to
a maudlin cry of pacifcation that is
untenable by every sentiment of
Americanism. No wonder those
brutal degenerates of Mexican saw
agery, call them Carranzistas, Willis
tas or plain comprehendable "greas-
ers" are joyous over their diploma
tic victory and with provincial brag-
gadocio acclaim that they can seduce
American womanhood, brutally treat
and butcher American citizens, and
the insult to American government,
American citizenship, and disgrace
to our flag means only another
"note"-just "scrap of paper
one or more, it does not matter.
No wonder the cry runs through the
land, chow long, oh, how long, must
we sit inactive in this shame, while
the blood of brothers and sisters cry
out to US for vengeance. "The
mills of God grind slowly" but they
will some day get those human
friends across the Rio Grande and
they'll pay, or this great republic
has lost its patriotism and the great
principles upon which it was found
ed, and the work of Washington,
Adams, Jefferson, Jackson, and Lin
coin, will have been in vain.

State Forester.

We regret the resignation of State
Forester A. F. Halves who has ac-
copied the position of forester in the
United States relation service. He
is an enthusiast in the forestry work
and has given Vermont excellent SER
vice while holding the position of
state forester. Vermont Union

1t would carry out good principles
and the will of the majority if
the Randall advertising bill" now
before Congress passed. The sale of
liquor is menace to the good of the
individual and the public in general,
much more so than the lottery. The
advertising of the latter the govern
ment put a stop to, and why not liq-
uor? Lottery robbed mankind of coin
of the realm, and led him profligate
life; liquor robs mankind of coin of
the realm, clouds his mind, makes
him a brute-a menace to his home
and community, and takes from him
his dearest possessions-loved ones
and manhood. With only 191 coun-
ties in the United States wet" out
of 2,543, it should pass as the senti-
ment of the great majority of
American citizenship, laying wholly
aside its moral right.

The state has lost most earnest,
progressive and loyal official in the
resignation of State Forester A. F.
Halves. Mr.. Halves has laid a
splendid foundation for forestry
work and proved the value of we'll
directed effort in conserving the
timberlands. This work is not only
of great financial value, but is far
reaching and will increase many fold
in years to come. This has been one
of the morst result-getting depart
ments of state administration and
should be encouraged and aided.

If there is any state official who
deserves an increase in salary it is
John w. Titcomb, State Fish and
Game Commissioner. This depart
ment has grown from a very small
beginning. Has been buffeted by
opposition, handicapped by meager
appropriations and its administra-
ton has brought much censure upon
commissioners by persistent law
breakers and unsympathetic citizens.
For all this it has kept forging ahead
and now forms one of the important
branches of state work in Vermont's
progress. This has been largely
due to Mr.. Titcomb, who has kept
his work pushing forward, despite

There is a bill in the Legislature

touch with the larger centers of pop
ulation in the state? If there is a
county in the state that needs a
municipal court it is Essex county,
especially when the court is presided
over by such an able jurist as Judge
Lund. During his work as munich
pal court judge he has made many
just and equitable decisions, and has
never hesitated to make an example
of those who have shown defiance
and contempt for our laws. 1t is
only necessary to cite one instance
to show that Judge Lund is man
not to be trifed with. We refer to
his fining an auto party for an utter
disregard of Vermont speed laws.
And right here we will say there is
no part of Vermont more travelled
by auto parties than this northeast
ern part of the state. While Judge
Lund can be severe when occasion
demands, he has judgment poised
on conditions and taking into con-
sideration the best interests of the
state, the betterment of the individ-
ual and the community in general.
1t will be a most regretful setback
to Essex county if the municipal
court is taken from US. We feel sure
Essex county members of the legis-
lature will make str ong stand for
it's retention.

Carlos Castaneda, president of the Cen
'tro Latino, who has been taking an active
interest in sociological work in Browns

Meat-Use more poultry, rabbits,

place of beef. mutton and pork. Do
not use either beef, mutton or pork

smaller portions. Use all left over

frost or ice cakes. Do not stint the
use::of sugar in putting up fruits and

Vegetables and fruits--We have a
superabundance of vegetables. Double
the use of vegetables. They take the
place of the wheat and meat, and, at
the same time, are healthful. Use po-

fruits generously.
