CURRENT COMMENT
New England Representation.

1t is some time since New England was
represented on the interstate commerce
commission, Mr. Prouty of Vermont be-
ing the last New Highlander to serve
President Wilson will soon have the OPP
portunity to appoint several new mem
beers, inasmuch as the commission is to
be enlarged to enable it to transact the
increasing burden of business The joint
request to the president from the gov
ernors of the New England states that
he consider the claims of this section in
nominating the new members is to be
justified on the ground that New Eng
lands special railroad interests merit
intelligent and sympathetic consideration
at Washington, in view of the difficult
position in which they find themselves.
1t would be very pleasing to see a com
petent New Highlander placed on the
commission without the least reference
to his party ties. Such nomination
would strengthen the administration in
this section.-Springfeld, Mass, Repub-

He has worked early and late in the ad-

their large revenue giving features; he
has maintained the Office on a general
plane of efficiency never before reached

of the high plane of efficiency of the of
fee that it would be possible for new
conner to step in and carry along the
work satisfactorily to the people OF the
state. 1t has been known more or less
widely for some time that Mr. Bailey
had been offered tempting position by
the University of Vermont and that he
was only waiting for favorable oppor-

are other rumors about Mr.. Bailey's fu

The Approaching Draft.

The high importance of keeping poll
ties out of the process of drafting the
new army must be clear to everyone
but story being told in Washington
according to the correspondent of the
Providence journal, is a rather vivid
reminder of the necessity of convincing
the people that political pull can help
no one to escape military service.
"A wealthy manufacturer" it is said
approached United States senator
saying that he depended on him to see
that his son, who is registered, should
not be conseripted. When the senator
Indignantly turned his back upon him,
his private secretary was told that there
was $4,000 in it for him if the boy should
be passed over" If such corrupting in
fuences are at work anywhere. the more
need is there of local exemption boards
whose personnel raises them above sus-
picion.
There is every indication that the war
department has endeavored to meet the
most rigid tests, while working through
the state governments, in providing the
exemption boards: and scrutiny of the
boards for western Massachusetts, now
made public discloses names of men in
whom the public evidently can place its
confidence.
The report from Washington that the
actual draft, or drawing of names. viii

be well founded. for there is no set of

Liberty Loan bonds make an impressive
showing indeed, The government asked
for loan of $1,000 100000 in order to
raise money for extending credit to our
allies in the war and to make the prepa-
rations necessary for the participation of
itself in the war. The country not only
raised that amount but went beyond it
TO the extent of another billion of dol
lars, the over subscription indicating that
the vast financial resources of the nation
are ready to be tapped for the prosecu-
tion of the war under the impetus of
patriotic spirit and the confidence felt in
the security of the loan. The next two
billions ought to come even more readily.
