PRESS COMMENT
Our Wandering Presidents

President Wilson is on the soil OF
France itself. Precedent, which was
only strained and cracked by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and President Taft,
has been completely smashed. A pre-
sident Of the United States has really
gone into a foreign country. Hereaf-
ter the chief executive of the United
States will travel about at will, only
bound down by the exigencies of the
situation at home and by his own no.
ton of what he should and should not
do. 1t will remain largely a matter
of personal judgment on the part of
the one who holds the position of chief
executive, whether or not he should
absent himself from the United States
on long journey and for an indef-
mite stay away from the seat of gov
eminent. 1t is to hoped that persons
who shall occupy the presidents
chair in the years to come will be
blessed with good judgment and
proper sense of the proprieties of go
ing into foreign lands. Hereafter, the
United States will no longer be an
nation.-Barre Times.

A Coincidence of Note

Note has been made of the rather
singular fact that the armistice be-
tween the Allies and Germany took
effect on the 18th hour Of the 18th
day of the 18th month of the year
a striking sequence. But still more
impressive coincidence is to be found
in the text of the 18th verse
of the 18th chapter of the
18th book of the Old Testament, /
Kings. After reciting that "the Lord
was angry with Solomon, because his
heart. was turned from the Lord God
of Israel, which had appeared unto
Him twice, and had commanded him
concerning this thing, that he should
not go after gods; but he kept not
that which the Lord commanded"
the chronicler proceeds:
Wherefore the Lord said unto Sol
ONION, Forasmuch as this is done of
thee, and thou hast not kept my
covenant and my statutes, which I
have commanded thee, l will surely
rend the kingdom from thee, and will
give it to thy servant" -Washington
Star.

Henry White

Of the five members of the United
States peace commission Henry White
is by far the weakest member and
his appointment was severely critlciz-
ed at the time. In the North Ameri-
can Reviews War Weekly Col. Geo.
Harvey fays the President for this
appointment and has this to say OF
the gentleman in question:
although appointed presumptively
as a solitary representative OF the
Republican majority, no evidence ap~
pears that he ever voted Republican
ticket and his amiability towards the
present Administration, which still re-
tains his son in the diplomatic service,
has long been notorious. Of his quail
ifcations nothing is known except
that he has money, pleasing manners
and a knowledge of the French Ian
guage not possessed by any of his
colleagues from the top to the bottom
He also speaks German after fash
ion and, if occasion should arise, will
be able to act as interpreter for the
President in conversation with the
former Kaiser, whose intimate hospi-
tally he has enjoyed. Also as the
father-in-law of Count Ernst Chris
toph Roger Hermann Seher-Thoss,
undoubtedly will be able to obtain the
privileges of that distinguished Prus-
sian officers unchanged castle at
Rosnochau if the President should &C
cept the kind invitation of the present
German Government to pay visit OF
coincidence to the afflicted Father
land. Taken all in all, we should say
that Mr.. Whites usefulness may
prove equivalent in inverse proportion
to his popularity in France.

New England Soldiers

Many New England home is dis
turbed by Secretary Bakers express
sed opinion that the veteran divisions
in France will stay there until peace
is formally declared"
1t may be estimated that about
10000 New England soldiers were
overseas when hostilities ceased.
Some of them entered service through
the regular army, for which the old
four-year term Of enlistment was
early changed to one for the dura-
ton of the war"
America must do it's part in the
policing; but such police duty was not
the service for which most of the New
Englanders in France enlisted. "Vet-
eran divisions" may be needed until
the end; it is not imperative, however.
that those divisions hold in their ranks
citizen soldiers who joined to fight
the war and who reasonably expect
ed to get back to their businesses and
professions Immediately after the war
was won.
A call for voluntary enlistments
would give soldiers an opportunity to
make their own decisions; and the va
cancies created might readily be filed
by men from divisions elsewhere who
are anxious to stay in the army. The
War Department should bear in mind
that the others have a right to feel
that their duty is done, whatever the
wording of their enlistment papers,

Politics in the Railroads

Secretary McAdoo says he wants to
keep the railroads of this country out
of politics, but recommends they be
kept under government control until
1924 the year presidential campaign
is in progress and government owner
ship would surely be an issue. He
further says that if the government
control is continued there will be
no reduction in wages to railroad
employees, statement that is likely to
have a great political effect upon the
thousands of voters who have held
the government up on two occasions
within the last three years. If that
is keeping railroads out of politics,
make the most of it.-Brattleboro

To the colors looked in reverence,
To the colors made my vow.

With the colors at our head;
While our hearts were full of hop

You remember how we waited
For the colors to advance,
When our land was bathed in sum

And all swathed in shadow France.
You remember how they brought us

How the colors babe defiance
To the devils of the sea.
We have marched behind the colors
From the Seaboard to Lorraine;
We have fought around the colors
North from Belfort to the Aisne.
We have fallen by the colors;
And our martyrs for the right
We have shrouded in the colors,
In the Blue, the Red, the White.

Wear the colors of a soldier,

What Destroyed the Sheep Industry

What Destroyed the Sheep Industry?
The dog has earned his keep in dol
lars and cents, hundred times over.
And yet, ungrateful persons and fool
ish doct1inaires would like to destroy
the dog on the pretext of reviving the
sheep industry, when it is well known
that the sheep industry in the United
States was destroyed because of in
ternational competition, by the cheap
wool of Australia, where labor is Sc
a month and land is worth SIS an acre
and Americans have better paying
crops at home. Oh, the folly of it!
The stupidity of it! These silly peo-
