WAR TO THE RIGHTEOUS END.


The two dominant notes of President
Wilson's second war message to Con
gress, as delivered before that branch of
the United States government on Tues
day, Dec. 4, are to be summed up as fol-
lows; first, firm conviction in the Jus
tice of the cause espoused by the United
States and mistaken determination to
carry the war through to a successful
conclusion, and, second a repetition of
his previously stated idea that the Unit
ed States is not making war on the peo-
pie of Germany but against the mas
ters" of the people who are using their
subjects like pawns on the chessboard of
life to further their own selfish and
wicked purposes. Of course, in addition,
there is the positive assertion that the
United States should declare war against
Austria Hungary in order to remove the
anomalous situation which is now con
fronting the United States-that of be-
ing virtually at war with the dual mon
archy and still not being nominally at
war; but that positive assertion is of
minor consideration as compared with
the two great ideas referred to above.
How to win the war and how to re-
move the world menace constantly pre-
scented by the arrogant and untrust.
worthy Hohenzollerns are the great prob
lens to which the president addressed
himself; and it might be stated that his
answer was the hearty, loyal co-opera-
ton of every American man, woman
and child of this nation, backing up the
government in its purpose of demanding
that full, impartial Justice be done as
the result of the tremendous conflict
full, impartial justice that shall affect
our enemy and our friends in due meas
IRE. Moreover, autocracy, a. typified bv
the present rule of Germany, must be
done away with; peoples who have been
held IN subservience to their so-called
masters must become masters of those
rulers or even turn completely to free
government and the establishment of the |
rights of the millions as contrasted with |
the assumed right of the one ruler or !
few individuals If only the people of |
Germany could catch and hold that great
humanitarian idea repeatedly advanced |
by President Wilson and fully believed |
in by the people of the United States. |
they would Immediately stop this ter
rible defamation of the worlds popula- /
tion by merely taking matters into their /
own hands in Germany and assuming
their rightful place as their own rulers. /
not in the same manner as the suddenly /
freed Russians have done but more along /
the lines as the American people did
when they set up self-government But
in the failure of the German people to
catch the trend of the times. in their
failure to resist autocraey in its last
great stronghold. il is imperatively nee
essary that the United States. along
with its splendid allies. devote itself
whole heartedly to the task Of placing
militarism forever in retirement. To do
that the sword had to be drawn: and the
sword will not be sheathed until the good
purpose shall be fulfilled OF that Presi-
dent Wilson may rest assured The peo-
pie Of the United States are with him.

The Reply

The editor, who guides Reform,
Down at the bottom Of the state.
Declares US wrong 10 speak of flies
As piscatory bait.
But let him read Sir Izask's book
The gospel Of the fisherman
And he will find that flies are made
A parcel of his plan.
He likewise bans the use of pole,
And says that rods better term.
Perhaps, he may be in the right
And that we ought TO squirm.
But ask the boy who cuts the stick
Amid the woods upon the farm,
And we will bet meal of trout
That pole will be his term.
He says, no nibbles at the bait
Can break your msditstive dream,
While you are waiting for a bite
Beside the sleepy stream.
But let our editorial Sport
Go fishing on a drowsy day.
And We will prove beyond a doubt
The truth of what we say.
Obi cruel sir. please stay your mind
And leave US still our pole and fly
That we have used for forty years
And will until we die.

is A ely" BAIT?
And Does the Fisherman Speak of Pole
or Rod?
The Criticism

The Criticism.
When birds sing best and meadows bloom,
When trees are list ming to the brooks
And waters leap the rocks in foam,
The anglers seek sequestered hooks,
Supplied with bait of worm or fly,
With silken line and springing pole
That reach where speckled beauties lie
In running stream and crystal pool.
In patient watch they sit and wait,
In moditation's happy dream.
Disturbed by nibbles at the bait
Or by the voices of the stream.
The foregoing stanzas from poem
entitled "The Pleasures of the Angler,
by John w. Gordon, is conclusive evil
dence that the genial Barre barrister
knows more about law and politics than
he does about fishing. No experienced
angler could speak of "bait of worm or
fly" because flies are not considered bait.
Neither does the piscatorial purist pro-
fame his vocabulary with the word pole
he fishes with rod or not at all. And
as for the imagination that can picture
trout fisherman sitting in meditation
while disturbed by nibbles at the bait
well--its owner never caught any trout,
that's Brattleboro Reformer.

CORONER'S JURY MAKES
NO RECOMMENDATIONS
After Hearing Evidence Jury Reports
How Wheatley Met His Death
Witnesses Tel of Trouble Between
Two Men.

The coroner's jury impannelled
this morning to inquire into the
death of Martin Wheatley, who died
at the Cambridge Hospital yesterday
afternoon, about five O'Clock, as the
result of injuries received yesterday
morning about half-past eight
O'Clock, reported that the deceased
came to his death as the result of a
blow inflicted on the head by Herbert
Dorman, the instrument used being a
part of an oar.
The jury was composed of Messrs.
Jas. R. ID. Collins, George Marvel,
John H. Phillips, William l.. Merrick,
James Corsey, Carlton III. Waller, j..
Edward Drennen, James w. McCrea
dy, Clinton Kinnamon, Wallace h.
Merrick, Howard R. Cooper and
James Dixon.
The witnesses before the Coroner's
Jury were Drs. Brice w. GoldSbor-
ough and John Mace, who testified as
to the nature of the wounds, the one
which caused the death being one
caused by a blow on the top of the
head, which crushed the skull, and
caused internal hemmorhages from
the brain. After the physicians, who
had performed the autopsy, had teS-
titled, the first witness was Mr.. En-
nest Elliott, who stated that he was
around the wharf at the time of the
trouble; that he heard Mr.. Wheatley
abuse and curse Captain Dorman, land
tell him that he would get him be-
fore II O'Clock. He stated that
Wheatley then walked off and that
after being away about fifteen min
utes, he came back, and that when
he got to the railroad station he pull
ed off his coat and hung it over his
left arm. The witness stated that he
walked away from the wharf about
the time he saw Wheatley returning,
getting up as far as the apparatus
Wheatley, who asked him where Dor
man was, and that he told him that
he was on the wharf.
He stated that Wheatley continued
on his way to the wharf, which was
few yards distant, and that he ac-
coSted DOrman with an oath and
stated that he was going TO get him.
Witness stated that Dorman turned
and walked to his boat. which was
about 10 or Is yards away, and,
walking on board, picked up piece
of an oar from a skiff which was
mid-deck. and then returned TO the
wharf, whereupon Wheatley stated
that he was going to fix him so that
he would never culver, at the same
time putting his right hand in his
right hip pocket. Dorman then, &C
cOrding to the witness, struck at
him with the club, the blow hitting
on the side of his head and gIancing
down on his shoulder. Elliott said
that Wheatley uttered another oath
and continued toward Dorman,
whereupon he struck him the second
and fatal blow, the club striking
squarely upon the crown OF the head
and telling Wheatley instantly
The next witness was Miss NJ. +.
Bradbury. a trained nurse, who hap
pened to be passing at the time, and
had her attention attracted by the
blow AS the alteration had taken

when the trouble occurred; that he
saw Wheatley take his coat off at the
railroad station and come to the
wharf, where he had previously been,

Commissioned by the Christ, you go

To carry your Masters message, loI
Up to the very gates of hell.
Toe Prince of Peace your guard was

And He stood by you to the end.
1t was not small, your Priesthood s

To be man, and yet stand by:
To bless, not share the sacrifice;
To hold your life while others die
To watch the charge and take no part
You, with brave and loyal heart.

To know the sweat of agony,
In anguish for these souls unpriced,
The darkness of Gethsemane
Vice-Regent of Ged, pity you,
This sword-thrust pierced your

In the pale CLEAN of newborn day,

Rude as the shed where Mary lay,
Apart in some tree-shadowed place,
kneeling on the rain-drenched sod,
You brought the suffering soldier

AS Sentinel did you guard the gate
Through which wars victims
bravely passed;
Your heroes calmly met their fate,
Crying Victory! Victory. at last,
While you cried loudly to the end,
Christ is the Word" and He's
your friend.
The Christ was with you, Priest OF

For all was well, and always we'll
Your Captain these same paths had

Nor did you fear these roads of

Above the anguish and the loss,
You carried the ensign of His
