In the current Farm and Fireside is an
interesting editorial which shows how
debt is by no means the obstacle to sue
cess that it is generally held to be, and
how sometimes it is even stepping
stone to opportunity.
Il have in mind young man who
wanted to go TO the state agricultural
college. He had n omoney, but knew
something about personal credit and
wasn't afraid OF debt. First he found a
friend who had thousand dollars to in
vest. Then he took out a thousand dol
lars worth of life insurance, which cost
him about S22 year, made his friend
the beneficiary. and turned the policy
over to him in exchange for the 81 900 in
cash. -Four years later this young man
graduated from college with honors. Soon
after, he paid back the 81 900 with six
per cent. compound interest, married,
had the policy changed TO make his wife
the beneficiary, as she should be, and is
now considered prosperous"

CURRENT COMMENT
The Hunt Bill Unfair.

The so-called Hunt bill has caused a
large amount of discussion in the leg.
islature and the state press. We do not
understand that Mr.. Hunt of Danville
who introduced it, is the champion of
the bill. He simply introduced it at the
request of some other party. While we
wish there were no saloons near any edu-
cational institution, we cannot endorse
the purpose of the bill. In effect il would
say to towns of Mortified and Middle
bury and the city of Burlington, they
cannot have local option on the liquor
question as the other Vermont towns
and cities have The unfairness of such
a proposition is evident.
We have heard of some people saying
they would not send their son to the
University of Vermont for college train
ing because there were saloons in the
city of Burlington. These same people
have sent their son to an institution
outside the state regardless of whether
the town was wet or dry. This was not
fair to the state university, and we
cannot advocate the passage of an unfair
act in an effort to secure the patronage
of unfair people. We should be glad to
have the use of liquor entirely abolished
in educational institutions. but not
feel the enactment of the Hunt BIZ 0uld
insure it.-St. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN.

Bonding for Permanent Roads.

| We believe the time has arrived when
the state should take some definite &C.
tion towards bonding for permanent
roads. This much is true. that the ay.
erage town has gone the limit. so lar
as voting money for permanent roads
in fact, nine out of every ten towns
show an indebtedness which is not in
keeping with the grand list--and in
many instances this debt is due to try
ing 10 keep pace with other towns in
building permanent roads. Let the state
do little experimenting. Let a bond
issue of $4,000 start the plan and if it
works out well. more bonds can be issued
in two years. Let the money be expend
ed in a business like manner-put into
the hands of a commission of three of
Nermont's best men-men who are so in.
terested in the work that the idea OF
compensation win not enter into the
deal
1t is fact that ii Vermont Is to con
tinue to be recognized as one of the ideal
summer resorts and tourist states. the
road building problem must be solved
better, and in our Judgment, it win be
necessary for the state to establish trunk
lines, build them, and wholly maintain
them.
Towns the size OF this have neglected
the roads which do not properly come
under trunk line roads, just to build
roads for a passing acquaintance tour
ist business.
The average town in Vermont has
been MIXED to the limit on permanent
roads. The present law has been thor
oughly tested and in our Judgment il is
fully proven, that many OF the towns
can not stand the strain any longer.
Let the state build and maintain the
roads that properly come under the head
ing Of trunk lines. and the only way TO
DO it Is BY issuing bonds. We hope
to see the present legislature take some
action along this ine.--Waterbury Rec

These ways out are supposed to lead t.
fire escapes on the exterior walls OF the
structures. 1t is to be presumed that
the hotel in question in Boston had these
fancy little red lights with the painted
words This way out in case of fire
adjoining the wall nearby, but not one
mention is made in the story of the fire
of the use of fire escapes by the guests.
If there were fire-escapes on the external
walls of the building the frenzied occu-
pants were perhaps unable to find the
way to them through the swirling smoke,
being kept prisoners in their rooms I'M
til good luck came their way in the per
son of fireman ascending ladder or
until they slid down rope OF their own
manufacture. The experience goes to
show that the arrangements of the hotels
in the towering structures are not doing
their full duty to their guests unless
they place ropes of sufficient length to
reach the ground or the roof of a neigh
boring structure. Perhaps you have been
shown to room in the 18th floor OF
city hotel and looked out of the window
on the deep street canyon with real fear
of the consequences that might come in
case OF fire, fear that was heightened
when you looked about the room and
found not one scrap OF rope with which
you might lower yourself to safety. You
resolved then and there never again to
patronize that hotel or else to demand a
room on lower floor. To have room
on an upper floor of many of these hotel
sky. scrapers is to be thrown like rat in
a trap. 1t is not right to jeopardize the
lives of so many people when by slight
outlay of money at some sacrifice of the
adornment of the rooms a rope fire escape |
might be provided.

Higher Medical Requirements.

We announced some days ago the de.
termination of the college of medicine
OF the state university to require two
years of regular college work for admis-
sion. 1t is significant that a further
general stiffening of the entrance re-
quirements of the medical schools Of
the country is asked in resolution
adopted by the American associa ton
now in convention in Chicago II is now
proposed that two years of college work
be completed before man is given per-
mission to begin the practical study OF
medicine in the professional school. This
ruling is not final, but it indicates the
present tendency Harvard and nun

not affected by the suggestion a they
already demand a college degree as a
prerequisite for admission to the medical
school. Many OF the smaller institu-
tions, however. will have to revise their
programs, as they have already adjusted
themselves TO another system.
1t is gratifying that the Vermont col.
lege OF medicine has been able TO keep
just a little ahead OF the great majority
of the smaller medical institutions in
regard TO requirements a. well as IN the
standard of its graduates, which would
follow as a matter of course. With the
increasing call for physicians in different
parts Of Vermont a. well as throughout
the country we believe Nermont's col
lege OF medicine has an even more bril-
liant future than its successful and graf
flying past Burlington Free Press.

for the reopening of discussions with the
Washington government lies in the reye-
lation of very serious official disquietude
at Berlin over the present situation. In
so far ms this Interpretation of the de-
velopment is sound, the peace outlook
seems brighter than at any time during
the past week.
The German government should be pre-
pared to suspend its present submarine
campaign of ruthlessness while further
exchanges Of views are proceeding if it
hopes to gain the ear of President VIII
son. In order to prevent a further strain
ing of the relations of the two countries
to the point of hostile operations on the
high seas, Berlin needs also to be con
WINGED that the assurances given in the
Sussex case must be revived. The Unit
ed States obviously can be satisfied with
nothing less than Cruiser warfare" on
the part of submarines, for its case has
always rested on that as a sine qua non
of friendly relations.
The Importance of Germanys present
advances should not be overestimated,
especially in view of the obscurity now
surrounding them, yet they are so far
from suggesting an arrogant and defiant
temper at Berlin that one is probably
justified at least in thinking that actual
war between the United States and Ger.

LINCOLN,S MESSAGE TO LIS.

On this day, the anniversary OF the
birth of Abraham Lincoln, it is particu.
larly fitting, in view of the national Girls
is, that the words of the great president
New York City on Feb q, 1859, Lincoln
said:
LET us have faith that right makes
might; and in that faith let us dare to
do our duty as we understand it,"
Could there be any more fitting mes
sage for the United States at this crit
ical juneture than those words of the
man called one of the wisest in Amer
lean history? The people of the United
States have faith that the right will tri-
umph in the great struggle now before
the world, and firm in that faith, they
have done their duty as they understand
that duty to be. Following along the
same line of thought is the sentiment ex-
pressed by Lincoln in his second inaug-
ural address on March 4, 1865, when he
said:
with malice towards none, with char.
ity for all. with firmness in the right, as
God gives us to see the right
Those words uttered half century ago
are as applicable now as they were then
and they should be the guide of the Unit.
ed States now in its actions as regards the
belligerents in the great conflict. The
actions thus far taken by the United
States have not been prompted by malice
but rather by feeling OF charity for all
and by feeling of sympathy with the
progress of civilization. Let ne bear in
mind Lincoln's words and never deviate
from the rule laid down by him as we
proceed with the negotiations now before
the nation. The United States can be
charitable to all and yet be firm in the
right as God gives it to see the right.

Titcomb's Departure.

1--WE are not one of those who think

as fish and game commissioner Barre
! Times.
| 1t would be foolish use of language
to employ the word calamity to de,
scribe the resignation of Mr.. Titeomb
! The indispensable man hasn't been born
into this world vet, 1t would be cor.
rect however, to say that Mr.. Titcomb's
| departure is serious matter. 1t will
be very difficult to replace him for the
money that Vermont seems willing to
pay. His equal cannot be obtained for
the $4,000 which he asked Vermont
needs a trained man with technical
knowledge, especially on the subject of
fish culture The eommissionership is not
an office job, by any means. Mr.. Tit
comb has kept the hatoheries going with
the assistance of unframed men, even of
farmers who have devoted odd time to
the work. He has supplied the technical
knowledge, and the Others the labor and
time service. Unless a trained man is
employed in his place, there viii be
serious deterioration in the worth of the
work at the hatcheries, and the state in
such case would find that it has been
penny wise and pound foolish. The va
cancy ought not to be filled by the selec-
ton OF good fellow, or a good sports
man. Technical knowledge is what is re
CURED unless the state is willing to
waste lot of money in this department.
If the right kind of man cannot be found
in Vermont-and those interested in fish
and game have about given up in their
efforts to find one-there ought to be no
hesitancy in going outside to secure the
new commissioner-St. Adams Messen-

SAFETY IN THE TOWERING HOTELS

A serious fire in leading hotel in Bos-
ton one night recently was accompanied
by many narrowing experiences by the
several hundred occupants of the build
ing, although happily there were no ia
tslities because of the flames or smoke or
because of the frantic efforts of the peo-
pie to escape. This was in structure
II stories high and peculiar adopted to
the spread of flames by reason of eleva-
tor shafts. iues and other means of form
ing drafts. The guests got out as best
they could, the elevator wells being soon
filled with smoke and thus the elevators
being rendered useless. Some of the
guests were able to make fairly safe
egress by means of the stairways; but
others were compelled to wait in the
smoke filled building until the firemen
were able to raise ladders to the window
or until by their own improvising they
had fashioned rope fire escapes out of
sheets and blankets hastily torn from
the beds. Several persons who were i'm
prisoned on the upper floors OF the struc-
ture were able 10 make their escape by
means of these improvised ropes, the in
cidents proving the practicability and the
desirsbility OF placing rope fire escapes
in all the rooms Of the towering hotel
structures. Now and then hotel does
place these rather primitive but very Ell
fective means Of escape at the disposal
OF the guests. but more often the hotel
arrangements merely take the precau-
tions to set up red lights at certain spots
throughout the hotels and thus 10 warn
people This way out in case Of fire"
