The Tyranny Of Tradition.

The reinstatement of William j.
Stone. the senior senator from Mis-
souri,, as chairman of the Senate
committee on foreign relations is a
victory for tradition, but direct
blow to Americans for America"
Gum Shoe Bil1' Stone was the man
who defeated the President of the
United States, an overwhelming ma
fority of Congress and of the people
of this country by preventing the
adoption of the resolution empower
ing the President to arm merchant
ships for protection against German
submarines, He is still opposed to
Americas defending herself from the
murder of Americans on the high
seas and therefore unfit for position
on a committee handling matters of
such vital interest to the country.
But the traditions Of the Senate, be-
ing the oldest democrat in point of
service on that committee, has re-
placed him despite his disloyalty to
the President, the Senate and the
country.
We agree with The Outlook in the
statement that such action should
be possible is monstrous. 1t is moth
ing less than aiding an enemy of this
country. The Senate should not be
allowed to show such disloyalty with
out a protest from every true
American.
The Outlook suggests what seems
to us a very wise way to meet this
menace. 1t says:
There is one way by which the
danger involved in this form of mis-
representative government can be
avoided:
reorganiZed on a new and nationa
basis. In the presence of a foreign
danger, as we have before pointed
out, democracy in France and il
England has protected itself by dis
regarding party divisions and mobil
izing it's political forces against tn,
nations common enemy. This i
what democracy should do in Ameri
ca Let the real majority in eacl
house govern. Let all the men, with
out regard to party, constituting un
questio1ably a majority of eacl
house, who believe that it is the gov
ernment's first duty to protect tn
nations citizens at home, abroad, an,
on the high seas, and to defend it
obligations and observe it's word o
honor, get together and unite on com
mon parliamentary leaders and com
mittee chairmen; and so long as thi
foreign crisis lasts and the danger
from a foreign foe continue let Their
stand together and act together a
becomes men and patriots"
There can be no partisanship in a
hour of national peril and the bes
men should be placed in full contrc
at this time. We hope that enoug
American citizens will by letter an
telegram urge upon the senators an
representatives the necessity of tn
non-partisan union to bring it int
existence. No member of Congress
can afford at this time to stand fo
democrat or republican or for trad
ton that will produce vicious result
He must stand for America and i

It is to be hoped the legislators will
not forget their duty to place the
courts of Vermont on a more econom-
ical and efficient basis. One Of the
best ways to care for the extraor-
binary expenses connected with the
war will be to enforce the strictest
economy in the ordinary expenses OF
the state. With all the expenses of
war thrust upon us it would seem
criminal negligence for this legisla-

GIRLS! MAKE A
BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS

At the cost of small jar of ordi=
nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the most wonder
full lemon skin softener and complex
ion beautified, by squeezing the juice
of two fresh lemons into a bottle con-
tanning three ounces of orchard white.
Care should be taken to strain the
pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep
fresh for months. Every womaH
knows that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up quarter pint of this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t should naturally help to
whiten, soften, freshen and bring out
the roses and beauty of any skin. It
is truly marvellous to smoother rough,
red hands. ~ 81

PROMPT PAYMENTS BY THE Cow
EMINENT.

The complaints against the manner
of apyment of Government obligations
for it's purchases of supplies are Of
longstanding. Delay in paying its
just debts has in the past brought dis
tress to business and now, when the
Government is demanding general
service from the business men and
taking a large fraction of the entire
production of our mines and factories
the Government should be more
prompt and efficient than ever in its
clerical department to the end that
payment or acknowledgement of debt
be made promptly.
1t is uncomfortable that the Govern
ment should make the mistake OF
overlooking the necessity at this time
of simplifying in every way the finan-
cling orr its reauiremtns nd Of re-
lieveing the concerns which are sup
plying these necessities from that
worry and harrassment that delayed
paymentse will cause. To this end,
if the actual payment cannot be rem
dered promptly, the auditing of GER
tifiicates of debt constituting salts
factory evidence on which the banks
will make loans should be put through
with all possible speed.
Recognizing how the capital Oh
manufactures is, at the very best, 10
be subjected to strain, the National
Association of Credit Men suggests
that members and business men gen.
orally will do we'll to come clear
understanding of matters involved in
Government work.

We were taught at school that the
law of supply and demand was as
fixed and immu.able ash the laws OF

were invariably governed by the re-

theory into a cooked hat and the law

is concerned. The Government steps

PERMANENT SOUTHERN I'M.
PRovEMENT.

our demand for more attention to BE-
directed toward permanent improve
ment in the South, and especially in
regard to improvement or rural south
ern homes.
1t has been poined out repeatedly
that the average southern farmer has
been busy devoting all his thoughts
toward cotton production, forgetting
to plant enough other crops to sup,
ply sufficient home needs. and the
question of an orchard and garden
has been entirely neglected, says the
Augusta Chronicle.
More than shat, the farmer has
been failing ANONYMOUSLY inefhe mat
ter of Improvements in the home sur
roundings, the yard and the residence
being most frequently neglected in
numerous instances.
With the new situation it is time
for change to be brought about,
and in discharging the situation, The
Progressive Farmer rightly says:
High priced crops are pouring in
to the South a golden food that is
unprecedented in all our history.
Tenants who have hithetto merely
broken even are finding themselves
with hundreds of dollars in cash
ahead; small landowners are wiping
out all obligtions, with heavy bal
ances to the good large landowners,
in many cases, are actually netting
small fortunes.
"All of which is good. But let us
not. during this great era of material
for get to lay by some
thing for a rainy day, We would
like to see every southern farm home
painted and equipped with lights and
every southern farmer
supplied with the best of labor-saving
and good livestock These
.hings are necessities, and spending
money for them is productive invest
