Because Stalwartism
Has Arisen Must
Free Speech Depart?

Bryan has offered his services in any
capacity his country may designate and
LaFollette has been pulling like q good
fellow for conscription, but still the en-
battled soul of Dean Frederick Edwards
Of St Pauls cathedral, is unappeased.
With nothing ike the compassion Of
the Prodigal's father. but rather with the
vinegar spirit Of the elder brother, he
reprobates them as Debated radicals ~
threatening the nation as no other foes
do.
The Dean has not been serving the
Prince Of Peace very long in this parish,
but long enough to learn that there are
folks right here who were disseminat-
ing abominable doctrines until he came
to town. He detrained none too soon.
These misguided souls did not know
until the Dean disclosed the fact that
new stalwartism has arisen But he
should be patient, restoring them in the
spirit of meekness.
It is not given all men to be sangunary
to see red right along. Slaughterous-
ness is hard to acquire for some Chris
tians. AS the costermonger said 70 the
Bishop, who asked him where he learned
to swear so: "Lor' bless ye gunner, We
can't learn il it's a bloomin gift
But this "stalwartism" that has arisen
for what has it arisen? To extend
democracy, according to President VIII
son. But according to Dead Edwards its
mission is 10 limit democracy, repress
honest difference Of opinion and put q
Siberian silencer upon free speech.

A Mans a Man Today

Time was when it was quite the thing
TO call farmer n "hayseed.
lie was also called a rube, a hick, or
greene.
But that time has gone There never
was any sense in the use Of such words
No man is at home in anothers surround
inPs
But today the farmer ranks with the
soldier as the nations first line defender
The corn row ranks with the fire
trench.
The farmer is not only useful per-
son today. but he is also hero.
So away with the patronizing attitude,
the high and lofty manner. the sarcasm
and derision.
A mans a man these days.

The Meaning of the Day
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)
This is the Strange day.
This is the day of His co.


This is the day of His coming.
Terrible and strange is His coming;
with tramplings of innumerable armies,
deSolate and salt-sown fields strewn with
corpses; soil ploughed, crater-furrowed
with monstrous shells; the night sky
starred and streaked with deadly shrap-
mel
1t is the day of judgment II is the
end of the world. 1t is the battle of Ar
mageddon.
History has two phases. One, a slow
preparation-forc brewing. fires long
hndling, waters gathering, electricity
generating. The other, a sudden change;
at last the barrier falls, the vessel ex-
plodes, the electric force leaps out in
flash and fury. the dam breaks. the floods
roar forth.
This is the day Of accomplishment
The bell has rung The signal has been
given. The titanic potencies accumulat-
ing thru centuries have come to head.
Evolution moves slowly, as a glacier;
but at times leaps, as an avalanche.
This is the extravagant day, the day Of
melodrama Of the impossible, of miracles
and madness.
The world is drunk with freedom. They
are topping over old thrones, sweeping
away ancient dynasties, bursting thru
venerable creeds, swapping the rusted
chains Of tradition, smashing impreg-
nable Institutions.
Nature has her own plans. God
maketh the wrath of man to praise Him.
What began as a quarrel between rival
nations will end as a triumph for human
ity Out Of the clash of kings the peo-
pie will emerge victorious. Democracy
is using the quarreing autocracies TO
kill each other
Terrible is the day Of the Lord. and
past understanding. Yet His purposes
are for the health of the world. After
the storm, the ozone-laden sunshine.
After the volcanic upheaval, the smiling
and fertile continent.
And after all this destruction peace.
with law He is trampling the wine
press; from the crushed grapes shall
aOw the sweet wine
After this the ships of the world shall
salt more safely, the lanes of commerce
shall be opened. the barriers between
nations weaker. and their bonds strong
err After this shall men work with
gadder songs, and women love with less
fear.
Look forward Look to the end Look
to the golden year
Swceter shall the roses blow
In hose Far years. those happier years;
And children weep when be low
Far fewer tears, far softer tears

Hep! Hep! Hep!

These are good days to walk.
When you're finished working in the
garden, don't stagger into an easy chair.
Throw back your shoulders, stick out
your chest, and walk
Hike around the block, if you feel like
hiking only that far or take a longer
walk into the country or thru the park.
Walk to work, If you have time; or
walk from work.
It's good for you.
ItH put YOU in trim
And physical fitness is patriotic, these
days.

Monday, January 22, 1917.

A publication of the United States
department OF agriculture, just Issued
shows Vermonts apple crop for 1916
was 100000 barrels, while 1t was On
ly $4,000 barrels in 1915. The quail
ty was ninety per cent; no state
ranked higher and only South Dakota,
Arizona, Nevada, Washington and
Oregon, we've of equal rank. The aver
age price per barrel, December /, was
$40. Perhaps Vermont apples will
soon be as famous as Vermont maple
sugar Waterbury Record.
Much of the difference in volume
Of crop was OF course due to differ
ence in seasons. Vermont apple trees
did not bear heavily in 1915. At the
same time some of the increase may
be charged to the growth of young or
chards and to the better care given to
the older trees. The quality OF Yer
mont apples is -unquestioned but
years must elapse before the state
will secure q place among the great
fruit producing states, for the rea.
son that it takes too long to bring an
| orchard to the bearing stage in north
ern New England. Vermont has for
years held the record for maple sugar
| producing more of that crop than any
other state in the Union and no one
for a minute imagines that better
quality is made any where on the
face of the earth.

reveals an odd mixture of superstition

the spirit of the dead person leaves the
