Hardly more than two months after
the death of Clarke G. Fits his able
young associate, IIcrmou +. Eddy, is
summoned to the great hereafter. One
wonders sometimes what plan Of the Al
mighty can require the taking away Of
two such mon in so short a time. Al
though differing tcmpcramoGtallv from
his chief Mr.. Eddy was very much like
him IN right living, clean thinking and
hard working. Hoawas man in mental
capacity well as m stature, and po-
tcntially AT least was one of the ablcst
members Of the Vermont bar During
the l. years that he was connected with
the Fits law Office Mr.. Eddy had assist
ed in the preparation and trial Of a
large number Of extremely important
cases, and his experience in this work
had laid a foundation on which all who
knew him expected he would build ca
recr of far more than ordinary useful
ness and success. He was, in short, a
coming man-of the sort that the town
and state can i'll afford to spare.
( Those with whom Hcrmon Eddy had .
personal acquaintance knew him as j
man of high ideals, strong moral con
victious, simple tastes and a broad con
ceptiou Of citizenship. He loved the
outdoors, especially the beautiful out
doors surrounding his native town OF
IStratton; he took pride in the history
and traditions Of Vermont and sympa
thilcd with every movement looking to
ward the state S advancement. Pos
scsscd Of unusual mental attachments
he underworld always to direct them il
way to uphold and maintain the publ,
welfare even at a sacrifice of personal in
terests, and he was engaged in servie,
under these circumstances when over
taken by the illness which brough
about his untimely death.

Let Local Option Alone.

randolph Herald and News.)
Senator Morse has the latest idea for
sideswiping local option-a yearly ref
crendum on whether or not Vermont
shall license liquor selling, combined
with a local vote on town or city Ii
censc. Without desiring to rob Sen
ator Morse of any honor justly his due,
the scheme he proposes was suggested
more than ten years ago by this jour
nal. That was when local option was
still on trial and, in its early stages
giving such poor satisfaction that il
bade fair soon to be replaced by some
other law After thirteen years ex
pericncc the voters last year declared
Enthusiastically in favor of the present
law. We view all attempts to accom-
plish by indirection what could not be
done directly as misguided and ill-ad
viscd at this time Let the local op
tion law in its essential features alone
for the present and 20 about the other
business of the session. That accom-
plishcd, 90 home.

1t is evident from Mr.. Lloyd George s
speech in the house of commons ycster-
day that the German submarine war
fare is seriously affecting British com
mcrcc. While it is possibly true that
the English premier is painting the
situation fully as dark as it is there
can be no doubt about the truth of
what he says in regard to the restric-
tiou of importations. In fact, it would
not be surprising if this warning was
precedent to seizure of all British
tonnage by, the government, and the
limitation Of British transatlantic traf
fc TO the freight which the government
wants for itself and thinks the people
of the country ought to be able to get
along with. In view of this situation
the need of relief from the shipping
tieup on this side of the Atlantic is
greater than ever. The only reason why
Americans are content to sit quiet under
present conditions is their faith that
the government is preparing itself fol
the consequences OF the break that is
inevitable.

The frost bitten touring car is
$4,000 disappointment which is harder
to get started than third cousin who
has camped down for the winter. 1t
consists of a gasoline engine which has
become chilled to the marrow, com
bined with a cold in the head, quinsy,
tonsilitis and the Vermont ague.
1t would seem that some of our in
ventors ought to be able to put their
bright, wedgc-shaped heads to work
and get up a gasoline engine which
will not freeze in one solid chunk when
ever the thermometer drops a foot or
two. 1t is q sore trial to man who
invested a lot of his wife 5 money IN
an automobile in the summer time,
when it would pcrspire faster than a

There is something pathetic about

the efforts of a frost-bitten touring
car to get under way when the starter
is stepped ON. 1t sounds like corn
shelter trying to digest a handful of
hardheads. 1t is also pathetic to see
a short wasted citizen leaning heavily
against the crank and breathing in
short, disconnected sentences. Some
people try to avoid this By robbing
the tea kettle of all the hot water in
the house and pouring it down the
touring ears throat, while others laE
hot clothes on its stomach.
The worst thing the CONCEALED tour

the pavement every time the owner

In following this profession he has
Travelled widely and his work has been
largely in New Pennsrlyania aud Wis
consin though he has retained his resi-
dence in Dorset. During the past few
years Mr.. Casselman has taken a great
interest in the work Of fish propagation

Windham counties. Henry Chase OF

Dr.. Holton's Requests.
Barre Times.)

The bequest by the late DR.. Henry
d. Holton of his medical library and
equipment to the University of Yer
mont medical college does not appear
at first thought to be as important as
il really is; but inasmuch as the Ii
brary is conceded to be one Of the best,
if not the best, in the state it can be
understood that the bequest is of great
value. DR.. Holton spent more than
half q century in collecting the books
and they were very progressive years,
too.

The first linotype from which limo
type slugs were made has just been
placed in the National Museum at
Washington. 1t is a crude machine,
measured by modern standards, but de-
serves its post of honor as one of the
revolutionary steps in the history of
printing. 1t was in 1883 that Ottmar
Mergenthaler began experimenting
with a machine which was the ancestor
of the linotype. 1t was in 1855 that
the first patent was granted. Now ev.
cry metropolitan daily newspaper il
the country employs from fifteen to
scores of these machines, and practically
every small town daily paper uses one
or two, so that there are approximately
$4,000 used in the newspaper Offices il

The Barre Times finds cause for
wonder in the statement from the Ben
nington Banner that "there is not
much snow on the ground at the pres
ent time Central Vermont, according
to the Times, is covered with snow to
the depth of from IS inches to two
feet on the level, while the drifts are
piled to a height of 10 or u feet. In
the northern part Of the state condi-
tions are said to be worse. Brattleboro
and surrounding towns are by no
means free from snow, as anyone who
has had occasion to drive through this
section recently will testify, but if one
may judge by train schedules the grip
of winter is much less paralyzing
here than il is 80 or 100 miles north
AS for Bennington, it has boosted for
years, and with reason, about the com,
parativc mildness Of its winters.
