Wbv We Are Fighting

Charlton Bates Strayer. in Lesiie's.
 There are some people who do not yet seem to know why America is in the war, or what we are fighting for. Thewar has been rightly described as titanic struggle between autocraey and democ- racy. President Wilson has said that we are in it to help make the world safe for democracy" This is a true descrip- ton of the situation in it's larger aspects But if America had been guided only by idealism. we should have done something when the pledged neutrality of Belgium was violated in the first days of the war. 1t was a more selfish consideration that compelled us to range ourselves with the allies in the conflict. AssColonel Roose- veit has said. "We did not go to war to make democracy safe, but we did go to war because we had a special grievance against Germany" Germany destroyed the lives of our citizens upon the high seas, and finally broke her pledge by announcing she was going to continue to

That Overseer's Account

Mr., E. A. Bemis, the present
overseer of the poor asks for the
following explanation relative to the
account of overseer of the poor as
given in the Herald last week. Mr..
Bemis says, and has vouchers and
records as evidence, that from the
$1118 given as the cost of the
poor during his term of office from
last September, should be taken
1885,. This sum is for the cost of
the poor under his predecessor, DR..
Norcross, for which he, DR.. Nor
cross, drew an order and which the
selectmen did not think best to
honor. These bills were afterwards
paid by Mr.. Bemis, but were no part
of the cost of the poor under his
management. $1118 less $383.66, or
S734.34 was his actual expense for
the poor, and $128.49 plus 1888 Sc,
or $512.15, was DR.. Norcross' actual
expense for the poor from March
to September.

Mrs. S. EImira Fletcher

Mrs. E. M. Bartlett and son

Park the past week to attend the
funeral of Mrs. Bartlett's mother,
Mrs. s. Elmira Fletcher, who died
February 20, at the home of her

wick.
Over a year ago she received a
severe injury in falling, from which

tanned her mental faculties up to the
time of her last illness, taking much
enjoyment from her reading and
was always happy in meeting her
friends. She had reached the ripe
old age of 80 years on the 29th of
January.
Her strong love for her family,
kindred, native town and its people,
she knew so well, were marked traits
of her character.
The funeral service was held in the
Congregational church of which she
was member, in Hyde Park, her
her native town, and the place where
she had practically spent her whole
life.
Mrs. Fletcher was we'll known to
many Island Pond people, having
passed much of her time in late
years with her daughter, Mrs. E. M.
Bartlett. Mrs. Fletcher was a sue
cessful school teacher and numbered
among her pupils, Hon. G. S. Page,
present senator from Vermont, Hon.
Frank Plumley ex-congressman from
the second district. Mrs. Fletcher
took great pride in watching the
success of these noted Vermonters.
