CURRENT COMMENT
Politics in Vermont.

Partisan politics isn't adjourned in
Vermont, for the Democratic state and
county committees, gathered in Burling
ton, have prep, red slate Of candidates
for whom primary petitions viii be circu-
lated. One would have thought that a
good place for the Democrats to make
their apolitics is adjourned" slogan seem
real would be In this state which stands
convicted Of being a roek.ribbed Repub-
lican stronghold and where, consequent
ly, a gracious withdrawal would have
been effected as new agency stuff and
wouldn't have made any difference with
results one way or another
But the Vermont Democrats are at
least honest with themselves in this
matter and for this are deserving Of COM
mendation And be it also said to their
credit that they are offering good men
to their party DR.. w. B. Mayo, who is
proposed for governor, is a man OF large
legislative experience and were the unex-
pected to happen and he be elected,
frankness would compel one to say that
Vermont has had worse governors than
he would make And so down the list.
There are good names Mayor Brislin
has had his experience in administrative
Office and important commissions. Thorn
as b. Wright of Burlington, for secretary
of state, is business success and hus-
tier. Fred L. Webster Of Swanton, for
attorney general, is a well known law
yer, and more than one Republican has
regretted that Fred is on the wrong side
of the fence
Congressman Frank L. Greene IL going
to have opposition, as is Porter Dale
over in his district, but The Messenger
would wager one of Host Higgins fa-
nous Middlebury dinners that Higgins
himself would withdraw in hurry il he
thought that there was any great prob
ability of his defeating the st. Adams
man, for quiet reflection along the trout
brook and through the underbrush that
sometimes holds the partridge, has
taught Higgins many things and perhaps
there are no better friends in a genera
way than Higgins and Greene. The Dem
ocrats are aiming, one may well mag
inc, more at keeping their organization
! intact, than at political victor at the
! polls They are honest in their stand
! proposed good men who know that de-
! feat awaits them, and they know that
they have sincere personal friends il
the Republican ranks who at times in,
dulge a wish that it were possible to b.
both Democrat and Republican OF
| election day But that is vain wisf
which the Democratic candidates accept
philosophically like the good fellows
| they are.-St. Adams Messenger

NoN. ESSENTIAL CONVENTIONS.

The state federation Of labor has acted
wisely IN its decision to abandon plans
for the annual convention and to substi-
tute therefor a business meeting of its
executive board With better grace than
some of the larger organizations in the
state, the federation might have gone
ahead with preparations for the usual
roundup OF organized lsbor's forces in
Vermont, for the problems of labor and
the problems of winning the war not
only run parallel but touch at many
points. On the other hand there are as
sociations, fraternal organizations and
associations which must be classed as
strictly non.essential, although they are
holding closely to precedent even in the
face Of abnormal conditions. Conventions
invariably bring a round of banquets
and other festivities which strike an
anomalous note in these SOLDERING times.
Then, too, the diversion from home pur-
suits of large number of delegates and
officers who must for the most part trav-
ell by train is not wholly in harmony
with the governments request that tray-
ell on the railroads be restricted as much
as possible.
Measureably, no doubt, it is matter Of
perspective. For many of us who
fall easily into the habit of thinking
and acting pretty much in the terms OF
this or that society or organization which
we esteem highly it is difficult TO realize
clearly that for the timebeing their for
mer importance has been subordinated
The policy of the labor federation is
worth emulating. Let the executive
board transact the business until after
the war is over.

1t is interesting to observe that the
use Of the sugar card system, which
Barre adopted early in the year, has be-
come general throughout Vermont. Deal
ers did not take kindly tosthe recent or
der issued by the state food administra-
ton which required them to make du-
plicate record of every sugar sale. The
order exempted towns and cities where
the card system was already in vogue
with the result that within few days
the use of the sugar card has been great
ly multiplied. Here in Barre, thanks to
a well devised plan of distribution, the
card has materially simplifed the task
of equalizing the supply Of sugar in
every home. Such supplies as the deal
ers were able to obtain have been fairly
distributed. Complaints were common
before the system was inaugurated, but
charges, more often unfounded, Of dis
elimination, and assertions that favored
ones were boarding, are rarely hearc
these days.

tenee: II think we ought to see that
the people who have been fighting to-
gether should be served first" In any
case, raw materials and transport will
have to be doled out by government for
some time, and why should they be
passed on to Germans, all anxious to cut
our threats In trade, when the people
who have been fighting together need
them vitality for the rehabilitation Of
their business?
There was a time when this sort of
war after the war" looked unbusiness-
like as well as inhumane. 1t had to be
condemned on sound trade principles--as
they existed before the war. But that
was before it had been made necessary
by the German aggression for our gov
ernments to take over practically every
source of business supply We are all in
the position now of an Industrial army,
subject to the orders of the government.
We cannot be disbanded and turned loose
on what has been the field of battle
without some consideration for our fu-
! ture maintenance. In short, the allied
governments must look out for their own
citizens with their raw material and
transportation until normal conditions
are established.
The corollary Of this position is that
the central empires must look out for
their own people. If it is true land it
certainly isl that they are absolutely de-
pendent ON the entente nations for the
largest lines OF raw material necessary
for the re-establishment of their indus
tries, why, that is their lookout and not
ours, They should have thought of that
before they made war upon us. And
right here comes in the demonstration OF
the impossibility of making peace except
upon the basis of a military decision
The German public men and newspapers
are all declaring that the terms of peace
must assure full supply of raw ma
terials to German industry" and must
dictate to the allies scheme Of freedom
of the seas" which win amount TO an
entente assurance of adequate transpor-
tation of those materials to Germany.
That means, of course, the terms of ac-
tual conquest 1t is a part Of the Ger
mans demand that we shall not have
the say about our own productions, and
that our manufacturers must be thrown
/ to them to deyom. II that is their de-
mand, can they wonder that we propose
to fight on until we have either whipped
them out of the notion or else have our
selves been beaten into craven submits

Passing Through Montpelier.

The atmosphere Of Montpelier smells
Of sulphur these days, which is quite an
unnecessary hot-weather activity, as the
various operations about the State House
and the temple Of justice have enough
specific odors Of their own.
Moving the bank commissioner, the
board Of charities and correction and the
commissioner of industries into their
new quarters in said temple makes a
sufficient disturbance, and the chug-chug
of sordid gasoline truck up and down
the granite pavements in front of the
temple makes a sufficient sacriege, while
the dissertation of the State House lawn
to take care of the trench for the big
heating system is another artistic crime,
Speaking of the heating system, IL
will be interesting to watch the result Of
an attempt to heat the State House next
winter by means of a four-inch main,
laid under ground from the new building
to the old, with second boiler installed
in the new basement. Quite number of
wiseaeres say it can't be done, but
Dwight Dwinell and the board of con-
troll think otherwise, hence the excava-
tions.
The State House gang has not yet re-
covered from the shock of Governor Ora
hams announcement that he would not
be candidate for reelection, and the
building under the dome is buzzing with
conjecture as to what viii happen when
Darling or Howe take Office.
Washington county is Howe territory

tent that gives some of them good reason

You hear the names of Frank Howe,
Mason Stone, Harry Black and Frank
Archibald around the whispering CALLER
les about as often as any others, with,
of course, Walter Scott and Ben Gates
as certainties. Thus we hear state
ticket made up, with the consensus set
ting around the names above mentioned
for governor, lieutenant governor, with
the auditor and treasurer all placed as
| indicated.
They say an official gang knows as lit
tie about the man with the votes as any
collection of presumably intelligent be-
ings, but the cold fact is that men who
have left their home towns and former
occupations to serve the state make
business of knowing public sentiment.

Mr.. Lloyd George makes it perfectly
clear, in his address to the British manu-
facturers that he is not pressing the
Paris resolutions looking to united en-
tente commercial policy after the war
in any spirit of vindictiveness or oppres-
siveness toward the German people. The
point Of his logic is this, that for a GER
tain period after the end of the war a
continued governmental supervision and
organization Of raw material, general
supply and transport viii be necessary,
in view of the practical impossibility OF
sudden return to Individual initiative
in all lines Of manufacture and com
merce, This being the case, it viii be
necessary to continue this supervision
along the lines Of common entente ac-
ton, where it has been ever since full
private control was abdicated. British
French and American consumers, nc
more than the manufacturers of the
same nations, can, after having put
themselves quite absolutely in the hands
of their respective governments, be
thrown to the German wolves the mo.

Although stamp taxes remain undis
turbed, doubling of the present special
tax on manufactures Of tobacco, cigars
and cigarettes is projected in the new
$S,0O0O 100000 revenue bill Even the
most inveterate user Of the weed will
not deny that a part Of the burden is
placed where it belongs. The bill prom
ises increased taxes for the broker, for
the theatre and other amusements, bill
lard and pool parlors and bowling al
legs. Mail-order houses, Pullman cars
and circlses will feel the effects as we'll.
So far as ocular evidence is concerned,
perhaps one of the more noticeable fea
lures of the new legislation, once it oper-
ates, will be a marked decrease in the
number of cigar and cigarette ends daily
garnered by white wings from sidewalk
and streets Some smokers are noto-
riously wasteful in their consumption OF
tobacco and the waste makes for untidi-
ness. As for the pool rooms, if the pro.
prietors insist on providing shelter for
paying guests alone, the little knot OF
