THE LEGISLATURE LOSSES.

The death of Senator Hermon L. Eddy
of Windham county removes most ca
pable young man and person who was
giving promise of becoming one of the
leading men of Vermont in due season.
The youngest man in the Vermont SEN
ate, he was nevertheless regarded as one
of the most efficient. Senator Eddy was
also making way for himself in the
legal fraternity of the state by reason of
his undoubted mental ability and he was
succeeding to much of the practice which
was left by the late Clarke c. Fits, also
of Brattleboro. As a man, too, he was
held in high esteem in all those circles in
which he moved, while his reputation
about the state was gagged on high
plane. Therefore, it is with real regret
that the news of his untimely end is re.
ceived in all quarters.
Incidentally, it is curious coincidence
that his death makes the third break in
the ranks OF the present Senate the first
having been that of Senator w. l. Ken
dali of Windsor county, who, by the way,
was the oldest member of that branch.
The second was that OF the chaplain, Rev.
Marcellus W. Farman, who died last
week. In this connection, too, it is more
than passing strange that the record of
mortality with this legislature has per-
haps never been equalled. 1t is asserted
that in addition to the two senators and
one attache of the Senate, one represen-
tative died before the converting OF the
assembly and two children of representa-
tves and the wives of three representa-
tives have passed away.

AMERICA PRONOUNCED GUILTY
WITHOUT TRIAL.

The Association of German American
Pastors is the title under which an un-
determined number of men have sent out
petition for a day of prayer for TO-
morrow (Feb. 25l that the American
people repent their blood outlines and
supplcate to God to defeat all measures
tending to place the United States in po-
sition to fight to defend its honor. Those
are not the exact words of the petition,
but they give the meaning of the words
used Moreover, this Association of Ger
man-American Pastors asserts that the
United States is responsible for the pro-
longstion of the war because it furnished
war munitions to the enemies of Ger
many.
What these pastors meant TO say was
that the United States, by supplying
munitions to the side which was able to
carry them away, kept Germany from
pounding her foes into insensibility at
time when Germany's foes were wholly
unprepared to meet the blood lust of the
Prussian government. In other words,
the United States by indulging in its
prerogative of selling products to any
and all purchasers that desired them.
prevented Germany from shedding about
all the blood of the entente allies that
offered itself for the sacrifice. If the
United States hadn't sold munitions to
the entente allies, Germany would have
had the job of world conquest done and
the kaiser would have been the supreme
being on earth. Hence the disappoint
ment OF these so-called German American
pastors. IL is Germanophobia carried to
the superlative degree 1t is to be treat
ed a. the product Of a distorted brain.

The desire of the Chinese people for re-
public" said Liang ChiChao. "China
will never again be monarchy. Tho
days of empire are over. The republic
has come to stay There orc many dill
ferences of opinion as to what sort Of q
republic is best for China. Some leaders
feel that the Senate and House as they
are now constituted are not representa-
tive of the public. There is not enough
difference in the manner in which the
two houses of Parliament are selected.
But controversies over matters of this
sort are of minor Importance. You may
rest assured that China will work out
some sort of a republic suited to its
needs. 1t will never submit to another
emperor"

in widely separated places should have
occasion in the same week to protest
against unsigned communications. The
Manchester Journal is one of the news
papers, and it says;
We are in receipt OF a somewhat
lengthy communication signed "0nee a
Teacher" which we would be pleased to
print did we but know who the author
was. They say they wrote it in hurry
so as to be sure to get it in this week
journal, but failed in the most important
part-to sign their name. We have but
one place for communications from un
known persons and that is the waste
basket. We will, however, hold for an
other week for the authors name.
Along a similar line is the complaint
of the Randolph Herald and News, as fol-
lows:
A communication from "A Native of
Orange County" worthy of publication
in every other way, cannot appear unless
the author signs his name to it.
The third is from the Rutland News
and although it does not refer to a com
munication to a newspaper but rather to
the authorities of that city, the principle
of the case is the same. Says The News;
The local health officer is perfectly
right in refusing to heed anonymous
complaints relative to alleged breaking
of scarlet fever guarantees. The person
who is making such serious charge
against his neighbor yet is not willing
to disclose his identity is probably
prompted by feeling of spite or some
motive other than that of serving the
community and has reached conclusion
without proper investigation. Every
newspaper has to contend with this class
of coward. He is the man who is al
ways trying to stir up something but
wants to make some other person shout
der the responsibility.
Are we becoming a crowd of towards
who dare not stand up and make asser
tions man-fashioni Do we desire TO
sneak behind the cloak of anonymity
after trying to throw a poisoned dart
at some real or fsncied enemy Do we
expect to inaugurate reforms by leader !
less csmpsignf II seems 50, as the pile |
Of unsigned communications in the waste
basket indicates. These offenses are not
confined by any means to the three places
mentioned; they are scattered all over
the stste-men and women without the
moral courage to let the editor or the
authorities know the identity Of the
writer, to say nothing OF permitting the
public TO know who Is making the asser-
tions. It is not any too commendable
when the writers Of communications are
willing to divulge their identity merely
to the editor or the authorities. it j. in
fnitely worse when the writers are so
beset with cowsrdioe that they endesvor

the alleged release of the Americans tax
