Value FRIENDSHIP.

Friendship is toe precious, If it is
zeal to be lightly thrown away. The
time will come, no matter how many
acquaintance you may have, when
your heart will turn to that deeper re-

the place Of that voice you know and
the touch of that hand that has clasped
yours so many times. But it you have
deliberately given up that friendship,
can you expect to call it back to you

of the land has scant consideration from
men who value efficiency and good sense.
This is not simply war measure. The
years following the war will be more
strenuous, even, than these. There is a
world to be reconstructed, in which we
hope to see some large measure of our
hope and purpose for larger justice and
brotherhood come true. No half drunk
nation can have any commanding place in
this great task. 1t is time to understand
that the discipline of war must become
a greater discipline for peace, unless we
want our ehildren's children to pass
through greater horrors than those that
burden us today. There is no reason for
further delay. Every form of regulation
has been tried and all have failed to do
what only national prohibition can do
give every state and every community
an equal chance to rise TO the highest
standards Of law and order and human
well-being.

Why They Place National Pro-

Editor of The Reformer:-
National prohibition is the main politi-
cal issue in Vermont this fall. THIS does
not deny the Importance of our local in
terests, such as those connected with the
revision of the states business methods.
But the national issue is a question of
highest Importance for all our present
and future as Americans and should be
given the serious consideration it de-
mands.
We be1ieve that the present condition
of the country and the world, as passed
upon by In intelligent and resolute pub
lie sentiment, calls for an immediate rat
ification Of the prohibitory amendment
TO the Constitution Of the United States
Some of our reasons are as follows:
The technical objections on legal
grounds. such as appeals to the principle
Of personal liberty, right of local SELF
government, fear of adulterating thu
Constitution with scraps of paper" ana
the like we regard as cheap political tae
tics, or mere pettifogging. By the natnr'
of the constitution, amendments TO it d'
not come except by long course of pop
ular education which results in express
ing the dominant reason and will of tn
people. There is no argument agains

IN bennington banner
February "a, 1917
When the United States gets into this
foolish war we shall have to go through
the shivers over spys real and imaginary
that always attends the early stages OF
war when doubt and fear and indecisioI
render everybody nervous. Even now
some of the nice old women in Congress
are beginning to stew with fright over
spys. If these persons and others will
read history and apply a bit of common
sense they will learn that most execu,
tions of alleged spys are mere unjustifieG
murders. Back in the days of the Rev
olution our American ancestors murdered
Major Andre without sufficient reason
because the British had previously muir
dered Nathan Hale without justification
Now while Congress is still partially in
its right mind it would be good thing
to cut out all laws under which real or
imaginary spys are executed, except in
cases where they are caught inside for
titled places or military camps. Let us
send them to the Brattleboro retreat
compel them to live in Peoria, or inflict
most any other awful penalty short OF
death. TO Kill them merely shows that
we are scared and some of us will live
to be sorry.

1t seems as though the world is head
ing backward when Italy goes into a
cruel war merely to gain territory from
Austria, taking the opportunity when
Austria is hard pressed by other foes.
The official reason given by Italy that
Austria invaded Servia without Italian
consent is so trivial that the world
wouldn't have believed it possible year

FRANK f. HOWE

Nav IT, 1915

To Americans the determination of the
Italians to force their country into the
war against Austria and Germany is the
most shocking result that the conflict
has developed. Italy for years has been
in close alliance with Germany and Aus
tria. With their backing and support
she was able only two or three years
ago, to make war on Turkey and seize
Tripoli which she wanted for colonial ex-
pansion. It seems an act of brig
andage against the friends and allies of
Italy for the past forty years and utterly
indefensible. If justice prevails it would
look as though Italy ought to get the
worst of the encounter but with Aus
tria and Germany hard pressed by
France, Russia and England the forces OF
Italy are likely to prove enough to turn
the scale.

loss of the two men drowned without
making any fuss about it. The anti
