STATE PRESS
A Poor Practice.
property

One of the useless items of State
expenses is the custom of providing
the members of the legislature with
newspapers during the session. 1t is
not only silly but poor practice.
There is not single reason why the
State should buy newspapers for the
members of the legislature. Why
not pay their hotel bill, or furnish
them with cigars, or chewing gum?
There is just as much reason III one
as the other. Cut out this penny
graft of furnishing gratuities to the
members of the legislature at the
expense of the State. Burlington

Let's Be Americans.

Adjutant General Lee S. Tillotson
comes to the defence of the National
guard and points out in no unmis-
taxable terms where much of the in
efficiency cropped out in modelling
these troops on the Mexican border.
You will find the making of no
better soldiers anywhere than among
the rank and file of our National
guard. We do not believe in COM
pulsory military training. 1t is an
tagonistic to our ideal form of gov
eminent and borders on that mill
tarism and imperialistic principles
which in large measure caused the
founding of this republic, and made
American patriots take up arms in
the defence of the freedom and lib
erty of the Individual. We do not
believe that compulsory military
training is at all necessary in the
United States. With the intense
patriotism the citizens of the United
States possess it is possible-we be-
lieve comparatively easy-to train
and maintain an army sufficient to
protect the United States and United
States possessions. To do this there
should first be held out a sufficient
pay for the soldier to make army
life equal his earnings in industrial
life, all things compared on a fair
basis of offsets from the two occupa-
tions. Then, too, the National
Z guard should be under the control
of the National government, making
it unit in action and not subject to
state dictation. This would give a
valuable reserve force to be used
whenever occasion called.
Then, instead of permitting Amer
lean inventors of war appliances, in
Guiding artillery. submarines, and
all the American nvertions that to-
day are used with such telling effect
by foreign nations, 60 to these for
eign nations for acceptance, keep
them at home. Develop them and
encourage the American inventor.
The American inventor of war imple-
ments has been most shamefully
treated by our government and in
order to obtain remuneration for his
years of labor and expense, has been
obliged to seek foreign governments
to dispose of his invention. Tod y
the United States is using some of

STORY TELLERS OF JAPAN
Profession Is an Old One, and Its
Members Are Looked UP To BY
All Glasses Of the People.

Quantity recalling the day of the
wandering minstrel In other lands, the
professional story teller of Japan oc-
cupies a unique niche in the life Of
his country, and he has character
and an art all his own. It Is curl
GUS fact that one of the most accom-
plished story tellers In Tokyo Is an
Englishman who has lived In Japan
all his life and speaks the language
like a native. What are called the
yose halls of Japan are probably rel
fcs of the oldest known form Of pub
lie entertainment. Perhaps the stroll
ing minstrel who recited or chanted
tales of the heroes was older, for In
Japan he developed into the yose halls
with their hanaskika. From remot-
est times great people in Japan had
their clowns and story tellers, just as
did Europeans; and In time the cities
had their regular places where an au-
dience might go to hear some national
epic, ballad or a comic story told.
In rural Japan there are today still
strolllng story tellers who chant their
tales to a roadside audience. These
stories were Of great variety, but they
may be divided into rakugo, or humor-
GUS stories, and kodan, or heroic tales.
The manner In which these are relat-
ed differs widely also; some story
tellers speak in loud and solemn
voices, while others behave much like
clowns, acting out the details Of what
they are telling. Those which resem-
BILE ballads are chanted to the accom-
paniment of the samisen, a primitive
instrument. These song stories are
not all very old some are based upon
modern events of interest. Often the
entertainment is relieved by the per-
Torrance of group of marionettes
or by juggling feat or two.

Budget for State Expenses.

The budget committee has pre-
pared it's estimate for the states ex-
penses for the next two years. 1t
calls for 81, 349, 770.49 for 1918 and
$2,371 ,287 80 for 1919, making a to-
tai of a little less than four million
and three quarters dollars for the
biennial period. This looks as if the

stantial to face in it's coming deliber-
ations.-St. Johnsbury Republican.

There is much talk OF consolidating
the agricultural schools. This means
giving up the Randolph school and
making one school at Lyndon. THE
HERALD is not ready to affirm this
would be the best move. The Vail
school is gift to the State, but for
all that it is more or less a white
elephant. Besides, if we remember
rightly, this gift was accepted with
the understanding that the Randolph
school was to be maintained. There
is no question but what the Randolph
school is a first-class institution.
We have seen its results, and the
boys it has graduated are most eff
GENTLY instructed in an agricultural
education that was practical and
they are now active and successful
lea iers in our states agricultural
progress. We fail to see wherein
any great lessening in the cost of
maintenance will result in the
consolidation, and we can see where
it will be a great disadvantage to
many Of tn boys in V rm)nt in 60
ing 50 far to the Lyndon school. We
believe t would have been better if

school was divided and an agricul-

Military and Naval Cadet APP
pOintments from the Second
District.

Representative Porter H. Dale of
the Second Congressional District of
Vermont mas been notified that his
District will be entitled to send one
cadet to the United States Military
Academy at West Point and one
midshipman to the United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis, each
to enter in 1917, and has been asked
to make nominations for these ex-
pected vacancies.
He has arranged with President
Ira L.Reeves of Norwich University
Mortified, Vermont, to conduct for
him an unofficial preliminary exami,
nation of candidates from the Dis,
trict for appointment to these va.
cancies. This examination will be
held at the University January II,
1917. The successful candidates will
be certified to Representative Dale
for nomination to take the official
Government examination for admis.
sion to the academies.
Youths in the Second District (be-
tween the ages of II and % years for
West Point and 16 and 20 years for
Annapolis) who desire to compete
for these nominations will obtain full
particulars by addressing President
Reeves.

nations a royalty on their manufac-
ture. Oh, the shame of this near
sightedness and injustice to Ameri-
can inventors!
Let the United States fit her de-
fences with the best of modern war
material, storing plenty of ammuni-
ton, and keeping this up to the adj
vanced condition that American in
telligence, research and invention
can place it, and with the army and
National guard reserves, placed in an
efficiency we believe they can be, and
we have no need to fear the attack
Of any nation on earth.
OF course, general army officers
will belittIe the National guard
They want a large, trained army
and naturally are opposed to volun-
teer organizations. The recent mo-
biization of the National guard has
shown fully as great lack of effici-
ency in the war department and
those who handled the mobilization,
as did any of the National guard or
CARNATIONS. There is need of a
little more efficiency in other places
besides the National guard.
The American army and navy has
never been, found wanting when the
trial came. The yemen of 1776 were
taken at a far greater disadvantage
by the trained soldiers Of England
with full war chests, eXhaustless
munitions and supplies, than the
United States army of today would
be, should any of the warning nations
attempt to subdue US.
We believe in improving every op-
portunity that tends to preparedness
but in a compulsory military train
ing, never. We do not want to i'm
plant any such imperialistic princi-
pies in this government, where
Freedom and Unity calls out the
best and noblest in the human heart

Appointments to Military and

To the Young Men of Vermont:
| now have the naming of one ap.
pointee for the United States Nava
Academy at Annapolis and one fol
the United States MilitaryssAcademy
at West Point, and | hereby give no
tice that on the 18th of January
there will be an examination made
of all boys who wish to take an ex
animation with a view of entering
either of these institutions.
The two boys who stand highest ir
that examination will be recommend
ed by me as Principals, the two who
stand second best will be recon-
mended as First Alternates, the two
who stand third best as Second AL
ternates, and the one who stands
fourth best as Third Alternate.
This means that in the perform
ance of my official duty shall have
two sets of appointees to recommend
a Principal and three Alternates fol-
the Naval Academy, and aaPrincipal
and two Alternates for the Military
Academy.
The Norwich University has kindly
consented to conduct these examina.
tons, and they will, therefore, be
held at that institution. All inquir-
les respecting them should be adj
crossed to Colonel Ira L. Reeves,
President, Norwich University,
Mortified, Vermont.
The person appointed to the Naval
Academy must not be less than 16
nor more than 20, and to the Mill
tary Academy not less than II nor
more than % years of age.

ulations for entrance to these acade-
mics may do so by addressing me at
