HOW VERMONT CHILDREN CAN
HELP

An appeal has been made through the
teachers in Vermont schools to the boys
and girls of therstste to do their bit"
toward increasing the food supply of the
nation during the present summer. This
is part of the effort being made by the
state committee OF public safety which
was appointed by Gov. Graham when a
state of war was thought to be immi-
nent, and, needless to say, it is a very
important work. As we have already
pointed out in these columns there is
going to be a very heavy demand for
food products because of the continual
ton of the war and because, more di-
rectly, of the participation of the United
States in that war The producing ca
pscity OF the United States will be taxed
as never before; and even at that there
may be a shortage in some lines. In or
der to reduce the threatened shortage as
much as possible the idle places all
through Vermont should be utilized for
the raising Of crops, and an army OF
Young farmers in city and country should
be enlisted for the work. Teachers
everywhere are urged to impress upon
the children the necessity for such under.
taking. The appeal sent out by the
state commissioner Of education, NJ. B.
Hillegss, a member OF the committee on
public safety. should find receptive minds

AN AMERICAN OF STURDY TYPE.

The late Richard Olney was one of our
American statesmen fortunate in the
possession OF clear sighted vision and
stiff backbone. As attorney general OF
the United States, and more particularly
as secretary of state under President
stiff backbone. As attorney general of
splendid capacity in the affairs OF state,
notably in the negotiations between
Great Britain and Venezuela when he
championed the cause of weak nation
against the strong in the settlement OF a
boundary dispute and in which his very
firmness finally induced Great Britain to
arbitrate the whole matter in dispute
with Venezuela. Olney took a very de-
cided attitude, backed up as he believed
by the justice of the cause of Venezuela
1t was an attitude which caused no
slight misgiving on the part Of many
American people because of the con
seriousness of the loss of prestige to the
United States should Great Britain re-
fuse and defy the efforts OF the mediator.
There was even possibility of hostilites,
Yet under the determined and skillful
direction OF Secretary of State Olney the
matter was satisfactorily adjusted, and
the United States gained greatly in inn
portance throughout the world. Mr. Oh |
ney was always a staunch advocate of
that which appeared to him to be the
right, and for the sincerity of his pur
pose he won the admiration of the Amer
lean people, no matter of what political
belief. He represented a high type of
the American citizen and he deserves a
prominent and honored place in the his
tory of the nation.

1t will be when there is a relaxation in
surveillance over property in the United
States that we may expect an epidemic
of bomb outrages and fires. The remedy,
therefore, is not to relax the surveil-
lance until the end of the war and peace
is declared.

House Kills Two Suffrage Measures

The cause of suffrage received day when the House Of Representa- tives by overwhelming votes, killed the statutory suffrage bills which would have given women Of the state the 1ght 10 vote for Presidential eIec- tors and municipal officers and on the liquor questions. The former measure was rejected by . vote of i49 to s5 while the bill relating 10 the liquor question was killed by l30 to 69 The bills were debated tor over three hours, during which time the galleries, crowded with suffrage and snti-sufi rage hosts, Haunting their flags over the rails, rang with applause. A no- table feature Of the rejection of the first measure was that those who killed the bill had practically nothing to say on the floor of The House before the ques- ton came to a vote.
 As already announced, divided re- ports on both measures had been made in the House by the committee on woman suffrage Both majority re- ports were for the rejection Of the bills, the mir ority favorable reports In each case being signed by only one com mittee member-House Chairman Ed ward 5. Coe Of Grom we'll.
