Come Lets set the house in order,
And make each corner fairl
The boys who build brand new peac
Ask us to do our share.
We must sweep it clean and tidy
OF all the rot and rust
That has gathered here for ages;
They must find no dirt nor dust.
We viii fumigate the cellar
And scour the mouldy walls,
And scrub with soap and honesty
The chambers and the halls.
Let's chuck the junk and rubbish,
The old, unwholesome stuff
Race prejudice, and snobbery,
And cant and greed and CUFF.
Away with party jealousy
Away with boss and cliquel
With selishness and privilege,
Hypocrisy and cheek.
Let's decorate with industry,
And thrift and skill and health;
And burn that tawdry motto,
True Happiness Is Wealth"
Set the nations house in order,
And keep it so with pride;
Ready for heroes marching home,
Worthy Of those who died.

The first part of the prediction Of Rev.
j Wesley Miller Of Bethel, made on Aug.
10, has come true and Clement has Sc
cured the Republican nomination for
governor of Vermont, 1t now remains
for the test of the second part of the
prediction, which was that enough
friends Of ratification Of the prohibition
amendment would desert the Republican
ranks for the timebeing to elect DR.. w.
B. Mayo of Mortified, the Democratic
nominee Even though the second part
should not come to pass, Rev. Mr.. Miller
will have gained considerable prestige
as a political prophet.

The Germans may eventually learn
that American colored troops do not cut
Off the ears of their prisoners but they
win learn also that the negro troops
have no patience with German soldiers
who cry "Kamerad" and then, at an un.
guarded moment, turn on their captors
who have shown them lenience. That
sort of thing does not go with American
colored troops, any more than it goes
with American white troops. Moreover,
such tactics bespeak a cowardly streak,
total lack of the ordinary ethics of
good sportsmanship. Soldiers who re-
ceiye the kindly ministrations of the
other side and then shoot down the peo-
pie who have been kind to them deserve
to be treated without the consideration
which would be given to decent foe
man,

Pick up Vermont newspaper prior to
Tuesday, Sept 10, and see what queer
sensation it gives you to read the poIiti-
cal stuff that has been embalmed in
printers ink during the last few weeks,
and particularly during the last few
days. The creators of some of the
thoughts therein expressed would scarce
ly recognize their own children now,
either because Of the strangeness of them
or because Of desire to cover their own
confusion. These post.mortem political
statements show the fallibility of the
human mind, or its proneness to wander
into unknown places, 1t is warning to
all that politics is one Of the most elusive
things to corner there is in the world.

The votes say that Percival w. Glen

for the oyerturn of the precedent next

There are entirely too many rear-end
collisions on the railroads, when signals

in Vermont, like that near Brattleboro

startling force that we are entirely too
careless in our railroading.

SPREAD OF INFLUENZA
CONTINUES UNCHECKED
Every Precaution Being Taken
Industries Hard Hit.

The spread of the Spanish influ-
enza continues despite the strenuous
efforts of the physicians and the
board of health They are entitled to
praise for their heroic work
The closing of the schools and
theatres and the canceling of all
church services and other indoor
meetings will do much to assist the
authorities in getting the situation
well In hand.
The hospitals are filled TO capacity
with patients, mostly those who are
unable to receive the proper atten-
ton at home.
In many cases the women of the
families are forced to stay in bed
with the result that the men have to
shift for themselves for their meals
The Industries of the city are bad
ly crippled--so badly that a number
Of them have shut down entirely
The mills in town and the quarries
out in the county are only running
on the ragged edge.

waas gotten out on schedule last

that the service is not the best I'M
