TO the best interests of the state, who
has been in touch with the national gov

and who is, therefore, more conversant
with the relations between the state and
the nation than any other person. Gov

So The Times believes that the people
OF Vermont, when they look at the situa.
ton in calculating manner, removed
from political considerations, will con
clude that the best interests of the state
and of the nation will be conserved by
re electing Governor Graham for another
term. Then, having formed that conclu.
sion, il would be encumbent upon them
to express their wishes in terms which
could not be mistaken.

THE GOyERNoRSHIP

The feeling of satisfaction which Yer
monters have over Governor Graham's
administration is finding expression more
and more frequently in the query: Why
not keep Governor Graham in Office for
another term? And, after casting about,
they are constrained to say that there
is no good reason why the present execu-
tive should not be retained at the head
of the state government. Indeed, they
are finding that there are many, many
reasons why Governor Graham should be
continued in office for another term.
Some of those reasons are included in an
editorial from the Montpelier Argus of
yesterdays date and reprinted in these
columns to-day. The contemporary takes
the stand that Governor Graham has
given the state "the best administration
it has had in the memory of the present
generation" which may be considered
very high praise. as Vermont has had
some good executives during that period.
However that may be, the situation is
this: The nation is in the midst of
great world war in which it is destined
TO play an important part. Vermont, as
an integral part of the nation, has its
proportionate share in the burden Of
carrying on the war. Therefore, Yer
mont ought to be closely linked with the
nation in this time Of stress, the two
should be so closely correlated in their
work that there should be no waste Of
effort, no clashing Of the machinery Of
administration through lack Of sympathy \
or through unfamiliarity with details 4

Airplanes Lying Low.

While we hesitate to risk enrolment
in the great army of those who have
scoffed at some new invention destined
to reyolutionize the world, we confess TO
reasonable composure over the tempo
rary discontinuance of the fast mail
service between this city and New York,
by way of Saugus In this disordered
period, when private agencies of every
sort are advertising for help, we should
be willing to have the government con-
serve its man-power by delaying the in
stitution of the air-route mail until a
more convenient season.
1t seems to be one of the rules of the
world that the man who does his own
business in a peculiarly atrocious man
ner should exhibit keen ambition for
the conquest of new worlds. Postmas-
ter-General Burleson affords an exam
pie of this. Under him ordinary postal
operations have reached an extraordi-
narily low level of inefficiency, as all
who deal with the postal service have
occasion to learn. And yet he wants to
take over the telegraph and the tele-
phone. AT the same time he pursues
with strange ferocity the pneumatic
tube, a practical device for obtaining ex-
petition, which the department already
possessed. He would next divert our
attention from realities by the spectacu-
lar fight of aircraft, on the assumption
that business men would pay twenty
four cents for the privilege of starting
a letter at an hour in the morning be-
fore much mail is ordinarily in readi-
ness, to take the atmospheric and other
risks of its reaching its destination.
Our advice to the postmaster general
is TO get down to the ground and to pro-
coed there with the expected skill of his
rofession.--Boston Herald

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
German Atrocities.

Editor, Barre Times: Alvah Corliss
formerly resident of Websterville, but
now of White Plains, n. Y. has been
visiting friends in this vicinity. He re-
lates the following incident, which may
be of interest to your readers.
A short time ago Mr.. Corliss, with his
wife. was waiting at the station in Uti-
ca, n. ", for their train for home when
four ladies came into the waiting room.
One was in the uniform of a Red Cross
nurse. the other three had the upper
part of their heads closely bandaged,
their arms also were bandaged, crossed
in front and held in place by other sup
ports. The nurse guided them to seats
and busted herself making them comfort
able.
A lady in the station asked her II she
needed any assistance. She replied that
before their train arrived they would
have to be fed and she might need some
helm. She informed her that these were
nurses from a Red Cross hospital in the
war zone, who had been captured by the
Germans. They proceeded TO chop oy the
hands Of the nurses, cut out their
tongues and gouged out their eyes. then
drove them afield TO 90 where they could.

OF disbursement from the rental than
they had been getting under private con.
troll. This view, attributed by the Wall
Street Journal to banker, ignores the
principal question. Even on this anal
ogy, a tenant stipulates with the land
lord regarding the state of repair in
which the property shall be kept, and
that is obviously what must be done in
the case of the government and the rail
roads.
Ii the normal rate of maintenance and
requirements cannot be paid for out OF
earnings, it must be paid for by the is
sue Of capital and the government will
be forced to issue that capital in cases
where the railroads cannot. While it is
limited that the agreements will "empha-
size" the fact that Congress did not in
tend government ownership, nothing
would more stimulate the cry for gov
eminent ownership than the suspicion
that the roads were being handed back
to their owners with substantial better
ments for which they had not paid

Re-Nominate Graham.

Candidates who have gubernatorial as
pirations and their supporters are not
idly lounging around waiting for the
nomination to drop into their out
stretched hands, but are making
more or less strenuous efforts to corral
the prize and are not letting the grass
grow under their feet at the present
time by any means. The voters, how
ever, are not interested; they absolute
ly refuse to become interested to any
extent, as they have another far more
important matter under consideration,
that Of winning the war
That IL why it is generally believed
BY most of those who have the best in
terests of the Green mountain state at
heart that no change should be made
during the war and that the present able
and capable executive be retained in
office.
The Evening Argus holds this opinion
for good and sufficient reasons. The
craftsmanship of Gov. Graham is &C.
knowledged in every quarter, The fact
that he has accomplished things is ad-
mitted by supporters of other aspirants
for the position. He has given his
whole time and effort to the adminstra
ton of the affairs of state and his ia
miliarity with the conditions and needs
of Vermont at the present time is I'M
equalled. He has given the state the
best administration 1t has had in the
memory of the present generation and
an administration which should be con-
tinued in the present crisis He knows
the military situation as it pertains to
Vermont and Vermont soldiers as does

Oleomargarine Offenders.

The name Of Vermont was long kept
at the front in Washington in connec.
ton with legislation for the protection
of our dairy interests from spurious
butter. We find in the New York Post
the statement of case which is inter
esting from various points of view, in
volving the violation of existing cleo.

ness at Providence, r. l., appeared be-
fore Judge Learned Hand in the Grim
inal branch of the United States dis
trict court and pleaded guilty to an in
dictment returned by the federal grand
jury on September 20, 1915, charging
conspiracy to defraud the government
through the artificial coloring of oleo-
margarine.
Sentencing of the men was deferred
for several days to allow them to pre-
pare answer to the United States dis
trict attorneys statement of the facts
concerning the frauds, which were said
to aggregate 81 100000.
"By the use of palm oil, the indict-
ment charged, the defendants artifcially
colored the oleomargarine to closely re-
semble butter, and deceived internal rev.
enue inspectors so that they failed to
collect the tax of ten cents per pound on
the product.
"The government has instituted civil
suit for $l,200,000 against the defend

amount of the unpaid taxes"

CURRENT COMMENT
Yermont,s Sugar Crop.

Vermont for the past two years has
made 100000 pounds of maple sugar
each year, which it is estimated is
enough to supply the whole state for a
year with practically all the sugar il
needs at three pounds a month for each
of its 100000 people Fortunately for
those of us outside the state who like
maple sugar, not all Vermonters can
afford to use nothing but the native
product at an average price Of 20 cents
a pound.-Boston Globe.

GOT A RAISE.
Operatives in Shirt Factory Give Another
Side to Story.

To the Public: The operators of the
Tauber' Ryttenberg shirt factory wish to
announce TO the public that they have
asked for their increase, and, beginning
Monday, June "a, 1918, they began work
ing under their new bill of prices.
| Much talk has been caused in Barre
since the beginning Of our union organ
ization, and many statements have been
| printed in the paper. Some of them were
true and some of them were not true,
but the girls asked for their increase
and on the following day they were Civ
en- their raise, and avery operator in the
shop has been given sufficient increase
so that the smallest paid operator in the
shop ought to average at least s. a
week, and of course the old operators
will now earn their $40, sl2 or SIS, which
they think they deserve.
We hope that some of the talk now
will cease and that people outside will
let the girls in the shop work and with.

it,
Our manager, Mr.. Luckenbill, did ex.
actly as he agreed, and everything has
worked out just as the girls expected il

is satisfied.

manager from New York, Mr. Upton,
was here and he, together with Mr.. Luck

worked on the new price list.

ever since the factory opened, been work
ing for fair wage, especially the old
girls, and the new ones, good many
of them, came in and expected the first
and second week that they could make
just what the old operators did, and a
good many of them, when they found
out that they couldn't, would stop work,
and then circulate the story that the
girls couldn't make anything.

The Railroad Contracts.

Disagreement over the form of con-
tract under which the government shall
operate the railroads during the war has
chiefly centered on the amount that the
roads might be compelled 10 pay out of
their guaranteed income for maintenance
and improvements. Obviously, main
tenance at existing prices and wage
scales is considerably more costly than
during the three-year period which the
government takes as a standard for ad :
iusting the payments to the railroads
The question is, What proportion of the
guaranteed income should be used for
maintenance ANY well-managed com
pany pays for maintenance and certain
equipment and betterments out of its
earnings, but during the past year or so
the desired amount of maintenance work
has not been done on the eastern rail
roads on account Of the increasing costs
and the scarcity of labor. II should be

Little has been said of late about vol
untary enIstments in the army of the
United States, although it is known that
recruiting stations are open and that
men are making application for that
branch of the service. Despite the reti-
cence of the government regarding that
phase of the building up of the military
forces of the nation, it is probable that
large accessions are constantly being
made in this way and that the army is
being replenished by men who have been
stirred by the martial spirit and by a
desire to avenge the wrongs of Belgium
and France. 1t would be interesting as
an indication of the public mind to know
how many men are entering the service
by means of this voluntary enlistment.
Certain it is that drafting is not the
only resort for building up the land
forces of the country at the present rapid
rate. Americans are more keenly alive
to the situation and have a far stronger
sense of personal obligation than they
had a year ago
