The Newspaper Forum

Pleading for true democracy in oul
town and county, Prof Wright urged
in his address on Forefather's day that
a column of The Register be reserved az
an open forum for discussion Of public
questions II must be well known that
The Register is at all times open to such
a purpose, and very heartily so. Only
one condition obtains in this, communiea
tions must not be anonymous; it is as
absurd to present opinions in public print
under the shroud of anonymity as ii
would be to stand up in town meeting
with a mask on.
The Register only this week received
in its mail a criticism of the Red Cross,
signed "A Member" II has withheld it
from publication only because no name
has been signed to the article.
Those who pride themselves in having
an opinion worthy of public notice should
not feel ashamed or afraid to own it.
Now, let's 90 ahead with straightforward
constructive criticism and general dis
cussion of what is good for Middlebury.
The meeting is open, and everyone is
welcome. --Middlebur Register.

Serious Loss to Rutland.

Rutland had bitter taste, yesterday
of what big fire means in really colo
weather.
With the temperature probably lower
than it had ever been during the year
the Bardwell fire developed situation
that taxed the ability and resolution OF
the fire department TO the utmost.
Ii was a bad fire, obscurely located
obstinate. and so strongly started in hol-
low partitions and highly intlammable
woodwork as to defy the best efforts OF
a department that proved, as it has often
proved, its fighting quality.
A man who has never handled a fire
nozzle, with stream of ice -cold water
driven through it under heavy pressure,
in an atmospheric temperature of 20-odd
degrees below zero, can form no con-
ception of the Furnishing nature of such
work. That the men OF the Rutland fire
department stood the test and confined
the fire largely to the odd building is

the best kind of tribute to their eff
cheney, physical fitness, discipline and
nerve.
1t was terrible work, the sort that
takes the heart OF lion and the cour-
age OF bulldog to sustain. Chilled, with
clothing, boards and hair coated with ice.
with hands and feet numb from the
singing cold, it took men of robust
and courageous type to keep on fighting
but fight they did, for the six mortal
hours it took to choke down that wicked
fire, and the result is that thousands,
perhaps millions of dollars worth OF ad
jacent property was saved.
The destruction of the Bardwell is a
serious loss to Rutland 1t is hostelry
well and favorably known throughout
the East by travelling men and tourists
it is more than that; ii is really part
of the city in the capacity of a land
mark.
The Herald extends the most profound
sympathy to its owners and trusts they
may be able to repair the loss without
serious delay.-Rutland Herald.

General McAdoo, promises to grant re-

from serious shortage of coal, both hard

excessive drain on the fuel supply dur

essary that large shipments of coal be

One of the most severe fire losses sus.
tanned in Vermont in recent years is the
destruction of the Bardwell hotel in Rut
land an ancient structure, but one which
had been brought down to date within
a few years by a large outlay of money.
The loss viii be more than local, for it
removes from the hotel resources of the
state one of the largest hostelries. Yer
mont's hotel facilities are too small al
ready to accommodate the business which
may be expected to come under more
nearly normal conditions of national life,
and the taking out of even one hotel
makes serious inroads. 1t is to be hoped,
therefore, that the Bardwell will be re-
built within short time. Rutland Ger

Senator La Toilette has been dropped
from the membership OF his club in Madi-
son, Wis. and he has been hung in effigy
by the students of the Wisconsin college
from which he graduated with honors 40
years ago. The idea must be dawning
upon La Toilette that the opposition to
his utteranees in regard to the war was
not confined to small group of his OPP
ponents but extends to the whole ma
fion. To be execrated in the college
where 40 years ago he was borne on the
shoulders of admiring fellow students
after he had won distinction in intercol-
