LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Supporting the Government.

Editor of Times; Thank you for pub.
LEGATION of article that states the success
of Secretary of War Baker. Some of
these days the papers generally will
waken to the situation that the people
generally are patriotic and have little
patience with the partissns who are
shooting and stsbbing at their leaders
back. 1t is true that when you hear a
man discuss such situation you can al
most guess what editorials he is feed
ing himself on, that is if you make a
practice of reading regularly several pa
pers of each political stripe. For in
stance, in Vermont The Barre Times
editorials and the Free Press editorials
are now selecting as a rule a medium
ground between the full-hearted support
of the New York World, and the criti-
cal fault finding of the Boston Herald.
But the general reader of the Boston
Herald would probably refuse to read
The World if it was offered to him
the hide-bound hate that sees no good
in a political opponent Men who will
read only one side and then abuse their
government deserve no more than to
be tried by a court which will hear only
the prosecution and allow no defense.

to seven members and whose total en-.
rollment of approximately 200 has been
cut down to "a men. There being no
seniors left in Mortified, the usual com.
mencement exercises are to be dispensed
with and college win close the latter
part of next week. 1t cannot be said by
the colonel that Norwich is not doing her
duty by the nation. Nor can it be said
by him that some other college and uni
versities are not doing large share to-
ward the defense of the nation. His
complaint may have been in part true
when it was made some weeks ago but
as the crisis comes nearer the college men
are turning their eyes toward military
service with patriotic enthusiasm.

DON'T BE A BIGOT.

The person who refuses to buy a Unit
ed States government war bond at the
present time because of the fact that an
administration having contrary political
views to his own is in temporary control
of that government is not a patriot; he
is a bigot of the narrowest sort. How
ever much the impression may have
grown that this is a Democratic war, de-
clared and prosecuted under a Democratic
president, the conviction will find lodg-
ment sooner or later that it is war of
the whole people of the United States
and will demand all the resources at the
command of the whole nation and not
of any single part of the nation. You
are not supporting the Democratic party
when YOU buy a government war bond
even though Democrat happens to be
in the chief executives chair; YOU are
supporting the republic in one of the
greatest crises in its history So these
people who are holding of from assisting
in the floating Of the immense issue Of
Liberty loan bonds because they decline
TO support a Democratic administration
are stultifying themselves and putting
serious handicap in the way Of the sue
cessful elimination Of the nations ef-
forts. Turn in and help.
