At last German Autocracy

There were many great texts
in the Presidents speech, but
the greatest of them is this:
''The world must be made safe
for democracy.
Just as the President spoke of
German aggressions at sea, news
came of the sinking of the Az

against our national unity of

finding six German subjects
guilty of manipulating. The in

The conviction on their own
testimony of five German sub.
jects and one American citizen
of German birth of conspiracy to
destroy merchant steamships by

Liberty for Russian ExiIes.

Tuymen, Siberia. April g.
Fifty thousand sledges. carrying
victims of the old regime back to
freedom in the new Russia from
the mines and convict settle
ments of Siberia, are speeding
across the SHOWS of North Asia
toward the nearest points on the
Trans-Siberian Railway. Their
passengers range from members
of the old terrorist societies to
exiIes who were banished by sd-
ministrative decree without trial
or even known offense.
There are probably altoge Their
100, 600 persons in Siberia who
have been released. Many of
the peasants will remain in Sibe-
ria voluntarily.
The first to be freed in the
mining district of Nertchinsk
was the famous Marie Spiridon-
ova, who killed colonial of gen.
darmes for torturing prisoners.
She was herself tortured and
abused for seven days,-and then
sentenced to death by-a field
martial. After her release she
fell i'll and is now in hospital in
Tohita.
The famous Terrorist Nicholai,
Anuikhin is at Tuymen. He kill

of the Petrograd Warsaw Rail-
road. He said that after a year
in European prisons he spent ten
years in the Alexandrovsk Pris-
on, fifty miles from Irkutsk.

ROad.BuiIdins Equipment.

Now is the time when road
commissioners and contractors
are giving particular attention to
overhauling and pure h a sing
equipment for the work of the
current year. The taxpayer
rarely appreciates what an i'm.
portant influence the use of the
most suitable equipment for a
given road now has upon its cost
and he sees very little of the
equipment, in fact. But with
wages for labor mounting stead
lily to unprecedented heights and
workmen hard to obtain even at
these wages, equipment is ire
ceiving more attention than ever
before and the investment in it
by the average commission and
contractor is being made more
extensively than in previous
years. The reason for this is,
primarily, that road work is
strung out along such long line,
instead of being concentrated as
in a shop or in building oper-
ations, that the supervision need
ed to secure efficiency with poor
labor is almost impracticable.
If machine will take the place
of a gang of men for unloading
cars it can be placed in charge
of a competent man with conf
dence that the unloading will be
done properly, even without con-
tinuous supervision. If mechan-
ical traction is substituted for
mules and horses in places where
it is suitable, the odemeter re-
cords, time cards and delivery
records tell the superintendent
at once whether the hauling is
proceeding as it should, and he
has none of the worries which
beset the man responsible for
the condition of a large number
of animals and wagons, not to
mention the teamsters.

THE WOODCHUCKS.

"Mr. Woodchuck had built very
line home, commenced Daddy, "in a
field near a vegetable garden.
Going into the ground was one
large room which was Mr.. Wood
chuck's hallway. Then came the hole
where he sat and thought about what
he should do next. He had another
room which was his dining room, and
he had a fine big hole for his sleeping
room, or bedroom. In fact Mr.. Wood
chuck had regular apartment of a
number of rooms.
Unlike other animals, Mr. Wood
chuck would not be satisfied with one
hole or with one nest. He must have
Il choice. And in the wintertime when
he goes to sleep, though he only uses
his sleeping room, which is q hole
about twice his size. he banks up his
other rooms with mud so nothing can
get in and eat him up, Then when
spring comes and he is up and about,
he pulls down the mud bank and has
his other rooms all ready for him.

sented the suggestions or inventions of
laymen-of most men not connected
with or trained in the service.
Yet, practically all the devices that
have revolutionized warfare have come
from outsiders, and as rule were not
received with any to- much grace b.
military or naval men.
The filing machine was invented in
tins country, but the inventors had to-
take 1t to Europe, where the French
Immediately accepted it, before our mil
ltary or naval men would give the in
ventors the slightest encouragement.
Yet that device has revolutionized war
fare.
But the worst case of lack of insight
or foresight, has been on the part of
naval men the world over in connection
with the submarine. The naval men
OF France, England and the United
States rejected Fulton s plans for a
submarine in 1901, and yet the subma-
rines of to-day are based on those plans
as Fulton S were based on Bashnett S
plans of l176.
The torpedo met with similar opposi-
ton, and many other eases might be
cited-of lack of Judgment or of power
to see the possibilities of a device or
invention by men who feel that they
| know more about their business than
any outsider can know. History dis
proves that theory in large measure,
and the psychology of it is that mind
| trained in a certain groove finds It dill
fcult to see clearly through things out
side of that groove
| So it would seem to be the part Of
: wisdom at this particular time for the
/ United States government to make sure
that there are no devices invented by
Americans that might be OF great value
TO either the army or the navy. For in
stance: John Hays Hammond, Jr., has
invented a seective radio apparatus
which can transmit messages that can
be received no matter how many other
radios are operating at the same time
The message cannot be jammed by
other wireless activity
To the layman that would seem tc
be 4 device worth having IN the Amer

service which it would seem to he tht
part of prudence to secure at once fol

THE TOWN MANAGER PLAN.

All those who heard the extremely
talk by Clarence A. Bing
ham, manager Of the town Of Norwood
Mass, last evening must have been
forcihlv impressed by the difference be
tween the way the affairs Of Norwood
are conducted and the way Brattlebor
runs It's municipal business. As some
body aptly expressed it, the difference
was the same q = "a difIc r,nce hctwce
~,ySte rtfght' vessel afTt$ sieve, wifi
Brattlcboro taking the part of the sieve
While Mr.. Bingham was modest wit,
regard to what was being accomplishe
in Norwood under the manager form
government he made it plain that OF
the matter Of buying supplies he wa
able each year to save the municipalit
many times his salary, and said tina
amy manager ought to be able to say
more than enough to pay his salary OF
purchasing alone. lie also emphasize
the fundamental Importance of careful
prepared budgets relative to future e
pcnditrcs. These two points were pa
ticulafly interesting to Brattlcboro pee
pie because in neither of these i'm
portant departments of public work doe
this town have anything like an INTEL
gent system.
Mr. Bingham pointed out anothe
great advantage in the manager form o
governments; namely, ability to sccu
men of highest qualifications as tow
officials. He mentioned the fact tina
the Norwood board of selectmcn W;
composed of men who could not be il
duc,d TO take q dictatorship in priva;
corporation for less than 10000 a yea
and that these men were willing to
vote an evening each week to town q
the details of the work would not fal
on their shoulders. Mr.. Bingham state
cmphaticallv that no manager coul
hope to be successful unless he had Il
hacking of a competent board of selec
men.
Throughout his talk and in his r.
plies to questions Mr.. Bingham shove
a familiarity with every detail of tow
management that made it apparent tn;
Norwood is run as carefully and with /;
much attention to detail and system I;
any private enterprise, and all wi
heard him were impressed as never be
fore with the need of a similar systel
for Brattlcboro.

can be planted. One-half Of
the other 100000 will in the next
thirty years, under protection, produce
sufficient material by cutting to clear
gross revenue OF SO per acre. Be
ginning with 1917, 1t is thought ad-
yisable, according TO the plan, to cut
at the rate of $500 acres per annum
and plant it at the same rate with the
more valuable pines. By 1877 the re.
naming $4,000 acres will be treated
in a like manner, so that the initial
restocking of all forest lands will have
been completed in 2,007
