Burning Brush in Vermont.

Most farms, in any place YOU please.
Have here and there some scattering
trees;
Some oaks and elms and first growth
stuff
A.standing where it = pretty rough:
And, 2 raps. some orchard remnants. too.
Old trunks whose PiPpin days are
through;
And Gee' il used to do me good
When these went into winter wood
knew. despite the springtime rush.
There d be dav for burning brush.
And so not far from April first.
When Jokes and mud was nj their worst.
We d start some morning when the skv
Was deader than Dick neadeve S eve;
And first, we q hook the kitchen mop
And kerosene il wet as sop,
Then wrap it round some kindling
sticks
And make sort of hre-bug mix, -
Then off we d strike through mud and
slush
To spend the day a-burning brush.
Our orders was from Uncle DYER
| To burn n stump with every fire,
/ And 90 we d look around to see
Which stump had held the biggest tree:
/ And then we d put our kindling kit
Right square, BY Gosh on top Of il,
And then we d heap a Camel = Hump
OF brush all over Mr.. Stump,
And then would come hreathless hush
| While Uncle ID. touched off = the
brush
In less, BY George than half an hour
| That fire began to ''get the power
We danced and sung above its roar.
Like Bolsheviki hollering More
The smoke rolled off along the ground
As though q train of ears was round
The flames shot upwards high and
higher
As if St. Adams was afire;
The clouds got red as railroad plush
Both heaven and earth was burning
brush.
| recollect one measlv morn
! slipped along the powder horn,
And sprinkled on the oily wood
More than, | guess, | posed | should
SO that when Uncle hit his match
The thing went up like Irish thatch;
What followed changed my views entire
Concerning powderized fire
The way he made my trousers blush
Linked up my life with burning brush
There always seemed to be a strife
! Between our fires and savage life;
: The crows would light some distance of
And mock US with a cider cough;
The jays put up an awful fuss,
And once an adder stung at us,
. And once woodchuck made jump
!, From right beneath flaming stump
! The world with wonders seemed to gus
!, When we was out a-burning brush
= And once the blaze, with wicked sense
Lit out for neighbor Newton s fenc,
And fore we got the thing in tow
1t burned a rod of rails or SO;
l. And sometimes, too way after dark
n We d have to go and stomp a spark;
III But still, as | those days recall,
ID They re worth an idle lawyer scrawl-
4, I d tramp again through mud and slus
III To burn rousing batch of brush.

THE LOAFERs AND
THE WORK TO BE DONE

Idaho's loafers and idlers should be
put to work. The man who ia loafing
around the pool halls and card rooms,
wasting his time, should be made to
see the error OF his ways and II he
does not voluntarily get to work he
should be made to work. When the
nation is at war, no mans time Ia his
own. 1t belongs to the government.
If the government can conscript the
young men-the very flower Of the
country-for military service, it can
conscript the idler as well. This
should apply to the rich loafer as
we'll as to the ordinary vagrant.
If there is no state law to reach this
class which is not contributing to the
nations needs, the first act OF the leg
isiature, In the event 1t is called into
special session, should be tosplace one
ON the statute books. It should have
real teeth" in 1t and be similar in
that respect to the criminal syndicai-
ism and sabotage laws. Lacking
such a law stringent vagrancy ordi-
nances should be passed by munich
palities to deal with the loafer until
the legislature can act. Power should
also be vested in some recognized au-
thority to close the doors Of pool
halls and card rooms where it is
found they harbor. from day to day,
the idle.
There are hundreds of able-bodied
men frequenting these places of
amusement without care on their
minds. Most of them are either un-
der or over the CONSUMPTION ages
While they idle. the farms and indus
tries Of the state cry for assistance. A
census of the men in Idaho should
speedily determine who are, and who
are not. usefully employed. 1t should
/ be taken, and the state council of de
tense will probably see that 1t is
Lack Of labor is one of the big, seri
GUS problems before Idaho. 1t is al
issue that must be solved. Puttinl
the lOafers to work is one way of do
ing so. Idaho can legislate the powel
to conscript them. 1t should do 81
without hesitation.

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram., 1918-10-09

If the dispatch is based on facts, it shows that
the German people are emerging from their stu
por and realizing that they are playing losing
game. It. also illustrates that the principle of
force which the Germans accepted as their rule
of life, when applied by their enemies, can batter
sense into their heads.
The failure of the loan may be one of the con-
tributory causes of the peace propaganda. If
the people will no longer put up the coin to fin
ance the war; all the efforts of the war lords to
keep the war machine going are futile.
Germany has shut herself off from the world.
The Allied people have little or no knowledge of
the true situation within Germany. Our leaders
through the various intelligence departments OF
their governments possess facts which, OF
course are denied us. The peace proposal of the
German chancellor may have been dictated by
internal conditions that are far more serious than
have leaked through to neutral countries. The
failure of the loan may be an indication pointing
to the weakened morale of the German people and
their desire to seek peace on any terms.
Germanys nvincibility on the field of battle
has been an article of faith with the German
people, This faith has been inculcated studiously
and to such a superlative degree that the German
people will abandon it only after Force, Force
to the utmost, Force without stint or limit ap-
piled by the allied armies smashes their army into
pieces and unseats the war lords before whom
they bowed in absolute submission. This process
is going on now. How far it has converted their
minds to the standard of righteousness and JUS
tice remains to be seen. The outcome of the
peace proposals will show how far the reforma-
tion has progressed.

of their comprehension Of their needs
as distinguished from their own in
terests, and Of their intelligent and
| unselfish sympathy.
Seventh-Belgium, the whole world
will agree, must be evacuated and re.
stored, without any attempt to limit
the sovereignty which she enjoys in
common with all free nations. No
other single act will serve as this will
serve to restore confidence among
the nations in the laws which they
| themselves have set and determined
for the government OF their relations
! with one another. Without this heal.
ing act the whole structure and val
idity of international law is forever
impaired.
Eighth-All French territory should
be freed and the invaded portions re-
stored, and the wrong done to France
by Prussia in 1871 in the matter OF
Alsace Lorraine, which has unsettled
the peace of the world for nearly fifty
years, should be righted. in order that
peace may once more be made secure
in the interest of all.
Ninth-A re-adjustment Of the from
iers of Italy should be effected along
clearly recognizable lines OF nation
ality.
Tenth-The people of Austria-Hun.

wish to see safeguarded and assured

mined by friendly counsel along his
torically esta ablished lines of allegiance
and nationality; and international
guarantees of the political and econ.

Twelfth-The Turkish portions OF
the present Ottoman empire should
be assured a secure sovereignty, but
!! the other nationalities which are now

as undoubted security of life and an
absolutely unmolested opportunity OF

Dardanelles should be permanently
opened as a free passage to the ships

Thirteenth-An independent Polish
