the call for the congress, but its con-
tribution of speakers and delegates is
larger than any other state except New
York. Such u congress affords an en-
couraging refutation of the charge that
Americans are not awakening TO the
challenge of the times The discussion
and the conclusions Of such an assembly,
devoted as are its delegates to the sin
gle purpose of national service, should
go far to break up the old solidarity of
the sections, and build up the new soil
darity of the nation TO equalize national
obligation and nationalize equal oppor-
tunity.--Boston Transcript.

The S3,l00 which the secretary of the
Rutland board of license commissioners
and the S2,400 which the secretary of the
Burlington board received for their sery-
ices partly attending meetings of the
board but chiefly posting names of "hab-
ituals" at a stated price of ten cents per
namel were altogether too large for the
quantity and quality of service they gave
too large, in fact for any possible serv-
ice which men in that capacity would be
called upon to give. Hence there win be
no quarrel with the legislature which
plans to make the pay more nearly com
mensurate with the work, 1t was a ri.
diculous law-making slip which permit
ted the charges legally to be made against
the state.

CURRENT COMMENT
Mr.. Titcomb a CapahIe Official.

Vermont's fish and game interests are
important enough so that they should
be handled by an expert and it is idle to
expect that a competent commissioner
can be secured at a salary of less than
$4,000 year. The legislature should
pass the bill which provides for making
the commissioners salary that amount,
and then if the state is able to induce
Commissioner Titcomb to remain it will
he doubly fortunate. The sportsmen OF
the state realize Mr.. Titcomb's ability
and the sportsmen of the state, let it be
said, are the ones who are supporting
the fish and game department.-Brattle-
boro Reformer

Bombardment of the Suffolk coast OF
England by a single war vessel of the
German navy could be considered nothing
more than accommodating expedition
and not calculated to do any particular
damage to the bombarded. Or the act of
the single ship might have been intended
to cloak some other and more important
mission of the German navy. 1t would
not be surprising if we should hear of
some important maneuver accomplished
during the distraction of the Suffolk
raid.
