Chautauqua in Wrong.

With all due respect to the Chau-
tauqua shows that were "cut .out"
from showing in the state this year
because of the infantile paralysis

accepted the edict gracefully and
not put up kick against the state
board of health. The health of a
community is of much more import.
ance than the getting of money for
a syndicate and the Chautauqua
management should have looked at
it in that way. Their action has not
left very favorable impression
among Vermonters. In fact, we
think they will have hard time in
securing a guarantee" good as they
are, should they come into Vermont
next year.-zMorrisville News and

ROOsevelt't War Theology.

The Herald is inclined to regard
religious conviction and practice as a
matter of such delicate and sacred
personal attribute as to belong really
to the private character of the indi-
vidual. At the same time, there are
certain broad and underlying prin-
ciples on which men of all creeds
may meet and in which men of all
views may unite.
Of this sort are the result of ut
terances of Theodore Roosevelt, who
was asked recently to give the New
York Bible society a personal mes
sage to be printed in the Bibles de-
signed for distribution to our SOL
diers and sailors.
Colonel Roosevelt sent the follow.
ing:
The teachings of the New Tesla
ment are foreshadowed in Micah's
verse: What more doth the Lord
require of thee than to do justice
and to love mercy, and to walk
humbly with their God?
"Do justice and therefore fight
valiantly against the armies of Ger
many and Turkey, for these nations
in this crisis stand for the reign of
Moloch and Beelzebub'on this earth.
Love mercy, treat prisoners well,
succor the wounded; treat every
woman as if she were your sister;
care for the little children, and be
tender with the old and helpless.
Walk humbly; you will do so if
you study the life and teachings of
the Savior.
May the God of Justice and Mercy
have you in his keeping"
In the humble opinion of a layman
and former political disbeliever in
in T. R., the foregoing is good Old
Testament doctrine, linked up with
the recent outbreak of Moloch and
Beelzebub in Germany which brings
it down to militant christianity.
Some very good people (by inten-
tom have been perturbed in their
minds as to how they might consist
emily support the war and yet be
meek and lowly followers of the Son
of Man, who when he was reviled,
reviled not again; when he suffered,
he threatened not, but committed
himself to him that judgeth righte-
ously;" who said:
But say unto you: That we re-
sist not evil; but whosoever, shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn
to him the other Also"
Christ, in that exhortation, was
emphasizing the gospel of love. He
was warning his disciples against the
savage reprisals of the Mosaic law
and teaching a higher rule Of life
than the tribal regulations of wan
dering Isrelites, designed originally
for self-protection.
But Christ was not unmindful of
the sword. Only a few pages be-
yond the foregoing in the book of
Matthew we find the following:
Think not that | am come to send
peace on earth. am come not to
send peace but a sword"
Later in the same book he said:
And he shall hear Of wars and
|rumors Of wars. See that We be not
troubled; for all these things must
come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against ma

Some days 1t seems as II you can

Someone Has to Be the Goat.

Violators of the liquor laws are be-
ing sharply brought to account in
Chittenden county. The fine of
$1,000 imposed against Hotel Ver-
mont was a severe one, although
technically it was made against the
bartender who served the liquor in
the bar room. While there is no OBJ
lection to hotels serving liquor on
Sundays in the dining room and in
rooms to actual guests yet the bar
rooms should be kept strictly closed.
In this case the management of the
Hotel Vermont disclaimed response

Common Sense View of Chautau-
QuaS.

The Claremont IN. H. Eagle, the
newspaper which was inclined re-
Gently to criticize the action of the
Vermont state board of health in
disturbing the business of the Chau-
tauqua entertainment bureaus, now
takes a somewhat different view of
the chautauqua as a business propo-
sition, declares the Chautauqua's
claim to philanthropy is "bosh" and
seriously doubts whether the people
of Claremont wish to shoulder the
responsibility of another series of en-
tertainments next summer under a
system which makes them guarantee
the financial success of the venture
for the company furnishing the en-
tertainment. At the same time the
Claremont contemporary is willing
to concede that the Chautauqua
gives good entertainments, some
times above the average.
1t seems that the public is getting
around to the common sense view of
these Chautauqua entertainments,
which is, that the entertainments
are admittedly high-class, as a rule
as high class as some of the lectures
and concerts which are secured for
single attractions at any good theatre
in the winter season, but that the
promoters of the Chautauqua are
not working primarily for the up
lift" of the communities but rather
for the almighty dollar. The Times
has taken the ground from the first
that the Chautauqua which are trav-
cling under tents are nothing more
than business ventures on the part
of the promoters, only the promot-
ers are forcing individuals in the
communities booked to stand the
financial shock of the venture. Now
if the people of any community wish
to guarantee $3.50 or like amount
for week s series of entertainments,
all we'll and good; but let's see
through this veil of community up
lift" 1t is a business proposition,
pure and simple, with the Chautau-
qua companies offering, generally, a
good grade of entertainment. Barre

1t cost Vermont 1929, 900 to take
care Of the states insane the past
year. The courts cost 1911 900 and
the criminals $4,000. This calls
for serious thought on the part of
the people who have to pay the bills.
Would it not be wise to have a law
regulating the care and living of the
states insane? We certainly ought
to give these humans as muce atten-
ton in their birth as we give to the
breeding of sheep, horses and cattle.
This same condition exists through
out the county and Vermont's insane
is no larger proportionally than in
other states. 1t would be an act of
mercy to regulate the birth of these
unfortunates. A decrease in the
birth of the insane would decrease
the number of criminals and the cost
of the courts. Coming legislatures
should make this one of their chief
subjects for consideration.

Why all this objection to allowing
inmates of the State prison to enlist?
The majority of these unfortunates
are the victims of circumstance and
have just as much manhood and love
of country as many of those who are
free from the stigma of prison SEN
tence, but still far from being ideal
citizens. If the governor should use
his good judgment in selecting these
inmates for enlistment no harm
would come to your boy or my
boy, and we would be following the
divine command to do unto others as
we would that they should do to US.

GIRLS FATHER MURDERED;
REJECTED SUIT0R ARRESTED
Shot Down Victim on Doorstep, Ac-
cording to Police

A bullet ended the one-sided ro-
nance Of Joseph De Paulis last night
and landed him in Brooklyn police
cell on a charge of homicide. The
bullet killed Frank Tammaro, father
of the girl De Paulis loved.
For more than year Dc Paulis. the
police say, had forced his attentions
upon sixteen-year-old Virginia Tam
marc. of 1913 st. Marks Avenue,
Brooklyn, two doors from his home,
at 1882. The girls father objected.
A little after 1880 last night De
Paulis, who is twenty-five years old,
dropped down TO the Tammaro home
and called Virginia to the doorstep.
He asked her once more TO marry him.
For answer she turned and started
into the house De Paulis pulled out
his pistol and fired at her. but the
bullet missed. She fed into the hall
way, screaming. Her cries brought
her father. De Paulis then shot him,
it is alleged. The young man fed,
but was captured.
