The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-05-15
CURRENT COMMENT
Law and Its Application.

The Vermont committee of public safe
ty, relating its accomplishments since
the United States entered the war, sets
forth that we have real sedtion law
in this state which we do not hesitate TO
use and cites the conviction of two men
who came to Vermont from the outside.
The inference is that the Vermont law
was called into operation and that the
seditionists were convicted under IT, For
the sake of keeping the record right it
should be said, however, that the in
ference is not justified by the facts.
Vermont has law which, in certain in
stances, permits of the infection of the
death penalty, but the only two con
victions of which The Messenger has any
memory were in the United States
courts and under the United States laws.
So the Vermont law, which is admittedly
with sharp teeth, has not been
used, while the federal law, which was
held by the department of justice not
to be wide enough in its scope, has
served fairly we'll, indeed, in this state.
1t goes to show that it is not the law
itself that counts, but rather the en-
forcement of it.--St. Adams Messenger.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-05-15

What he says in his letter to State Di'
rector frta A, Rowland OF Montpelier
regarding the value OF the movement as
an incentive TO thrift Is exactly right :
the movement does not build up a gen
Grafton OF misers but a generation Of
frugal living people ever ready TO extend
the helping hand to help needy cause.
In this case the cause is the welfare Of
the United States and all liberty loving
nations Of the world So, while build
ing up the habit of frugality we are at
the same time lending a helping hand to
our government, not by giving it money
but by loaning it money Those two
ideas ought TO be kept in mind by the
people of Vermont as they are urged TO
participate in this great nationwide cam
paign to raise two billions of dollars for
the purpose of carrying on the war.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-05-15
Quotas.

| The Brattleboro Reformer voices a not
unnatural protest against the way in
which the towns quota for the Liberty
loan was made up. 1t says;
by some process of computation not
fully understood here, Brattleboro is
reckoned as being in position to buy
more bonds than any other place in Yer
mont, except Burlington and Rutland.
In fact, Barre, Montpelier, Bennington,
st. Johnsbury and Springfield should
