PLAYHOUSE NOT
TO BE EXEMPTED
City Appropriated $4,000
for Support of Heaton
Hospital

Aside from the debate and cheering
which developed out OF the effort TO hay'
the Playhouse exempted from taxation
for period of 10 years, which faiied
and the cheering when the results oil th'
license vote was announced, there was
hardly any commotion at the Montpelier
election, at which 200 women cast theil
ballots for the several town offices and
voted upon the different matters called
10 their attention. The city voted against
license in the general term by; Yes f4o
no FOG. but il reversed itself when II
came TO the druggist vote and decided
TO have a fifth.class license by vote OF
602 to 4S7.
The list of officers which appeared in
TUESDAYS paper was elected. In fact,
when their announcement was made
there were only about dozen persons
in the hall, the business having been
completed and the most of the crowd
having left for home. The first act OF
Mayor Mitchell after his election was
to reappoint Chief ?. j. Connolly as chief
of police until the first regular meeting
of the council. The city, by vote OF
$50 to 2l2. voted TO stand its part in the
expense of establishing tuberculosis
hospital in Washington county.
The vote on the druggist issue was a
surprise Probably the infantiie paraly'
sis epidemic had much to do with carry.

did not commence until 3 o'clock, when
Mayor L. w. Mitchell read the patriotic
proclamation from Gov. II. T. Graham.
This was followed by remarks by +. A.
Rowland, state director of the thrift
stamp campaign. He spoke OF the need
of supporting the government and the
bows ''over there" to the limit. He dis
cussed the character of the enemy that we
are fighting, one which has no respect for
its signature TO Hague treaties in which |
it pledged itself not to Use gases, dam
age cities not fortified. against pilfering,
use of private money ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
poisoning of wells, all of which |
she has done; and many things too aw-
full to speak of in public places. He told
of man who had returned from England
who likened Germany to mad dog that
must be muzzled or destroyed, that the
people of the world may be safe. He
spoke of the morale of German soldiers
which is being kept up by the support
of their home folks. He spoke of the
spirit of the allies, ending with the state
ment that France has said that when
her soldiers die the women will go to
the front and when they are gone the
children will fight the battles. Ii these
are all killed then the spirit of those
who have gone will rise up and defeat
the Hun. The statement brought round
of applause. He then told his audience
that they can help by buying thrift
stamps, which were on sale at the rear
of the hall.

Here are some comments on the
kaiser from the pen Of Chinese stu
dent, an exchange says:
1.-THE German kaiser is not the su-
perior man as deciphered by the Chi
nese literature; he is surely a mean
fellow containing much fraudish cum
ming in his deceited heart. The supe-
rior man is shown in the merits Of
excellent heart with much loving kind
ness to all peoples; the mean fellow
Is displayed in the black heart of the
pnregenerated devils Of hell with much
loving kindness only to himself.
I'm the history of China was an en-
peror who burn the books and Slowed

of the peaceful Inhabitants; but he
was not success In this crafty tricks,
for the civilizations could never be
