The Rutland Herald urges that all
state officials and members of the legis-
laturo be reelected this year and that
the legislature limit its session to ten
days. The Bennington Banner endorses
the suggestion and points out the saw,
ing that could be made. 1t says: "Thc
present members of the legislature be-
ing all familiar with the business could
have all their bills ready and printed
before the session met and the essen.
tial business could be done in ten days
or two weeks. The suggestion is well
worth consideration. A session Of or.
binary length costs the state around
$4,000 and two thirds of the money
goes chiefly to educate new members
and new officials. 1t is not fair to
say that this money is all wasted but,
in view of the demands of the war,
Vermont might easily get along for two
years without spending this money. y

is now in order to make it unanimous,

GERMANS IN CHINA IN 1900.

That Germany policy of "eright-
fulness" is no new thing was revealed
in speeches made at the annual dinner
of the "Order of the Dragon recent
" held in New York. 1t is under this
title that officers and soldiers of the
regular army who served in China ut
the time of the Boxer uprising in 1900
maintain an organization. At the dim
ner here mentioned, Sergeant Madden,
a veteran of the relief expedition, said,
in substance, that the purposes of the
expedition had been practically accom-
plished, Pokin had fallen, and the Amer
leans, British, French, japanese and
other allies were in charge when along
came Won Waldersee with force of
Germans greater in number than the
combined forces of all the nations I'M
der whose flags the actual fighting had
been done.
Glow many Americans, l wonder,
know that the official slogan of that
German horde under Waldersec was
ga million Chinese lives for Won Ket-
teler.' Few of our people know about
those frightful punitive expeditions
that the Germans made against defense
less Chinese villages and towns in the
late fall and early winter of 1900. We
all recall those terrible stories, which
we knew to be true, of the murder of
defenseless men, women, and children

German column, and | speak the plair

STONES ATTACK ON ROOSEVELT

The strange spectacle was presented
i'll the senate Of the United States Mon
day, of Senator Stone of Missouri. ac-
cusing Theodore Roosevelt of being dis
loyal and unpatriotic. Whatever faults
Theodore Roosevelt may have, his loyal.
~ and patriotism have never been ques-
toned by his countrymen. The very
last man who ought to utter such a
charge is Senator Stone of Missouri.
If he made it for the purpose of curry
ing favor with the administration, the
administration ought to pray to be de-
livercd from its friends Senator Stone
of Missouri is one of the group of will
full mon in congress who were de-
nounced by President Wilson for their
opposition to the enactment of measures
for the prosecution of the war. In
season and out of season, Theodore
Roosevelt has been urging the country
to put itself in readiness for war When
war came, he was among the foremost
to offer his services. He has three
sons on the fighting fronts abroad at
this very moment. A fourth is in the
United States army. He was denounced
by Senator Stone because he criticised
the administration for not getting
things done faster AS Senator Lodge
well said in his reply, Senator Stone
is putting criticism and disloyalty on
the same basis. Theodore Roosevelt
is immune from the venom of the sena-
tor from Missouri

Windham county had the proud dis
tinction of being one of the banner
counties of the country which furnished
so many men by voluntary enlistment
that the draft did not apply to it.
Capt. Z. W. GibIon of Company l of
Brattlcboro has started a movement for
this county to avoid the second draft.
In his letter to The Phoenix today he
urges the mon of Class | in the regis.
tration list TO ask to be voluntarily in.
Quoted into the service. Thus they will
have an opportunity to 90 direct to the
First Vermont regiment at Camp Greene
and to secure the extra pay from the
state. Men between the ages of IS
and 40 who are physically fit will also
be accepted. To put old Windham at
the front again is an object for which
we should all strive. 1t is up first to
the patriotism of our young men and
secondly to the older people TO urge
and encourage them. Capt Gibson has
pointed the way. Let us all strive to
keep tho colors of our home county at
tho front.
