The Fence Is a First.cIass Barrier.

Mr.. Plante have received keys. Others

question contains a miniature noun
tain. The only things which have
climbed it to date are the goats of
those who must walk nearly mile
around its base to avoid enriching Mr..
Plante.
Tickles the Tailors.
Much to the delight Of the city's
tailors, several persons have tried to
climb the fence. 1t has been found
that the barbed wire is just as effec-
tive as any barbed wire can be. Those
who are the victims of the fence are
urging the city to purchase the right
of way for a street. Mr.. Plante thinks
his demands are not exorbitant. The
city officials think they are. The vic.
tins say the fence will be made an
issue in the next city campaign.

LEARNING ABOUT WAR FROM
CANADA.

An indication that the United States
army has great deal to learn about
conducting war is to be found in the fact
that the American method of bayonet
drill has been found not well adapted to
the modern way of fighting and the army
has changed to the Canadian way of
handling the weapon. Time was when
the United States would have looked
down on anything in the line Of warfare
which Canadian troops had adopted; but
the bitter experience through which the
Canadian army has been passing has
taught them something in practical work
which we as a nation are glad enough TO
adopt as our own. The adoption Of the
Canadian bayonet drill is one Of the
things which we are willing 70 do in
copying after our neighbor TO the north:
and it is perhaps sign Of adaptability
Of Americans that they are taking to
the new way with esgerness and euthu-

Canada,s New Income Tax.

The Canadian government has finally
decided upon the imposition of fed
eral income tax, which in a general way
| follows the lines laid down in this coun.
try, although different somewhat in de.
tails. The normal tax will be per cent
with an initial exemption of $1,000 for
unmarried and $4,000 for married per.
sons. The super-tax will begin at &c.
600
| Since the outbreak of the war Canada
has tried to obtain a sufficient increase
in revenue by levying higher tariff du-
ties all along the line, by raising postal
rates and by tax upon excess business
profits. But all of these measures have
proved inadequate to meet the huge
financial demands which the Dominion
must face during the next fiscal year,
hence the decision of the federal gov

ly to the various provinces. There has
likewise been feeling throughout Can
ada that persons of moderate wealth
have been getting off too easily. The
tariff and postal increases have fallen
upon the masses of the people; the ex
cess profits tax has thrown relative
ly large burden upon the industrial cap
italists, but the great body of profess
sional and business men have not yet had
any serious demand placed directly be-
core them. The new income tax fulfills
this requirement and, incidentally, will

Personal RESPONSIBILITY IN
QUARANTINE.

| We believe that most of the people OF
Barre are showing a spirit of co.opera
tion in the quarantine by assuming per
sonal responsibility against the spread
ing of the disease Of infantile paralysis;
that is, they are isolating themselves
whenever there is reason to believe that
they or any members of their families
have been exposed TO possible infection
from the small number of cases now ex-
isting and they are abiding by the strict
prohibitions imposed by the state board
of health. On the other hand, there are
a small minority of people who assume
no responsibility in the matter at all and
attempt to come and go at their own
will, regardless of whether they or the
members of their families are carriers of
the disease, A few persons of that sort
have been rounded up and given direct
instructions as to what they may and
may not do during the period of quaran-
tine II is this class of people who are

fortunate thus far in having only nine
asses of the disease, inasmuch as it has

'ase absolutely until all of us are will

Needless Aviation Losses.

The loss of highly trained and skilfu
officers in battle is tempered by tn
knowledge that the risk was justified
and that they gave good account o
themselves. There is little to recon
ellie the public to the frequency of fata
accidents among our aviators in practice
Experience has shown that such acct
dents are due mainly to two causes
the taking of needless risks and the Civ.
/ ing way of some part of the machine
such as a strut or plane, or of the en-.
CINE itself
The excuse for such accidents has
been greatly diminished by the prog
ress of airplane manufacture and the art
of aviation. Almost perfect machines
can be built, and strict rules prohibit
foolhardy manoeuvres. Since the begin
ming of the world war the power of the
seronautic engine has been raised from
sixty to a hundred and twenty horse
power The newest types of machines,
however, are made "foolproof,7 as it is
called, which means that the machine
will keep its own balance and will right
itself if the pilot releases the controls.
The high tolls taken among our stu
dent and instructor sviators is due to the
use Of obsolete machines from false econ
omy and the mistaken belief that they
are good enough for the purpose. No
inferior machine is good enough for the
purpose which needlessly risks the life
of man who has received valuable
training. Nothing excuses a waste Of
more American ayistors in training at
home than have been killed in combat in
the Lafayette Escadrille.
Old machines and planes Of old types
are not being used because the service
can get nothing else. The domestic out

CURRENT COMMENT
A Question of Accuracy.

One of the Chautauqua speakers said
that when universal suffrage comes there
will be no more war because war can
come only by vote of the voters and
women will never vote for war.--Bellows
Falls Times
Chautauqua speakers know lot, but
we would like to have one of them tell
when the vote was taken which pre-
eeded the entry of this country into the
present war. Chautauqua speakers must
have short memories, or they would
know that Woodrow Wilson was re-
elected only by anti-war votes. Universal
suffrage wouldn't have kept us out of
war" any more than Wilson did. Chau-
tauqua speakers should be more careful
about their utterances.--Ver En-

Announcement that the entente allie:
are going to "permit" the American army
to be participants in the final drive which
spells defeat for Germany reads rather
ironically-as if the entente allies could
sew up this little war at their own con
venience and simply by turning over the
hand. As matter of fact, the entente
allies are going to be very, very glad to
have the assistance and cooperation of
the United States at any and all times
during the troublous times just ahead:
There is no doubt that Germany is on
the down grade but the toboggan is by
no means creased for the final plunge.
The allies might as well be candid with
themselves in this matter.
