Handing It to

That was the pointed question
President Wilson asked of the head
of the Ship Carpenters Union when
notified they would strike
If you are not willing to have your
differences nediated you are undoubt-
edly giving aid and comfort TO the
enemy. said the President
ships are absolutely necessary for
the winning of this war, and you can
strike no deadlier blow at the safety
OF this nation
The time had come for show of
hands whether loyalty to the union
was placed higher than loyalty to the
life of the nation.
Then the President laid down a
great principle OF safety for labor or
ganizations. mat virtually sounded
the deathblow Of strikes
mo body OF men have the moral
right in the present circumstances OF
the nation to strike until every meth
pd OF adjustment has been tried to
the limit"
The strike Is armed industrialism.
It is the, highest manifestation Of
autocratic power. n is ns much a re.
sort to force ss sabotage.

Business VS.. Politics

Wherever an industry or business
succeeds. some one must pick the
manager who makes II q success.
Usually in the Tree operation OF
natural and economic law the right
man finds himself for the job.
Whether industries. be they railroad
or shipyards. ara under socialism or
private capital. success is in the man
aeer.
This man is always picked because
of his experience fitting him to handle
the Job. while In politics he is picked
for other reasons.
In politics his political opinions
must suit the picker. or the one who
picks the man must be his friend and
admirer.
Politics often picks second-rate men

the nation as experience proves.

capitalists. would pick practical man
for the work he was to manage.
Politics picks man with his head
full of economic theories. while busi-
ness would demand a man who knew

MAY DAY PARTY.
~ MARY GpAHAM

Eva was chosen as Queen Of the May,
and such a beautiful queen as she
made. She had a most gorgeous
throne of different colors. To be sure.
1t shook and waved a little as it was
carried, but Eva was not afraid. She
had never heard of a queen falling!
Besides, If she did fall. she wouldn't
have very far to go! She smiled as
she passed everyone, and behind her
came wonderful procession of chill
dren.
They were dressed In all sorts of
costumes. OF course, the ones who
carried the throne were dressed in cos
tunes, too. They were pages, and
they wore black velvet suits and
sashes of bright orange, and their caps
were of black velvet with orange tas-
sells.
There were dresses of all colors and
of all the mixtures of colors. Some
wore caps or wreaths of flowers; 9TH
ers wore great high hats, while some
wore crowns made OF lovely green
smilax, trimmed with dogwood bios
SONS which always come in the spring.
Some were dressed to look like bis
cult and bags and others looked like
clowns.
Still more looked like beautiful
princes and princesses. kings and
queens, though none looked so won
derful as the May Day Queen at the
head of the procession.
There were ribbons flying In the
breeze, and there was band. Oh. it
was very gay and pretty and bright,
and the sun was there. too, keeping
everyone so warm and happy and
jolly.
They oil stopped after they had
marched quite a little distance in a
great park. Near by was zoo. They
gave a very nice play and they sang
songs. After 1t became a little dark
they went away again and talked Of a
May Day party to be given another

charged that he refused to subscribe tn

that he came to this country in 1911.

clared that he is not German but a

against him.
To most Americans it will make lit .
tie difference whether he alleges that
he was born in Denmark asria. Germany
If 1T is proved that he is hostile to the
Red Cross and to the attitude of this
country in the war. His birthplace is
immaterial or should be, if it appears
that 1t Is necessary for the country to
protect itself against him or his kind
and Geerken is in fair way to dis
cover this fact for himself. If the war
progresses for another year the men
and women holding Geerken IS views as
to the Red Cross and the various activ

nation is as little inclined to tolerate
opposition here as it is on the western
front. 1t must be if it is to do its
duty to its loyal citizens.

Crime in Germany.
(Manchester, n. H., Union.)

(Manchester, n. H., Union.)
Why should German newspapers mar
vel at what they term the alarming
increase of crime in their country
There is nothing surprising in their re-
ports of burglaries, of food thefts, of
letter box raids and of other evidences
of general cussedness; nor in the neces-
sity for conferences in Berlin to discuss
"public insecurity and ways and
means of remedying it, if possible. The
whole German nation is an organized
criminal-an international outlaw. Hav-
ing been trained for generations to be-
lieve that some palpable crimes were
permissible in the eyes of man and
pardonable in the sight of God, why
should the German people draw the line
between these crimes and others2 Ii
the German government can lay out a
schedule of perfectly nice crimes, such
as murder and rape and torture and
grand larceny and reputation of trea
ties and crucifxion of babies. and per
suade the German people that those
crimes are not crimes at all, but pa
triotism, why should not the German PEG.
pie feel free to commit crimes of theiI
own, of such diabolical magnitude as
stealing food to keep them from starv-
ing, robbing houses and letter-boxes il
the hope of finding little money, OIL
picking the pockets of the junkers and
their friends9
From such fragmentary accounts a.
the German papers contain. it appear.
that the kaiser's government is paving
dearly for its long established, long
maintained doctrine of imperial absolu
tion-by virtue of divine partnership
for all crimes committed in the name o.
kaiserdom. That 's dangerous doc
trine generally, and especially so in it
relation to the proletariat. The mol
is apt to lack the faculty of discrimin
alton between crime by governmental
instruction and crime unauthorized b,
the government. Taught that the mos
sacred pledges are but "scraps o
paper, is it any wonder that the Ger
man sense of citizenship holds laws t
be but fragile things, to be kept whel
the keeping is easy and broken withou
conjunction when they stand in til
way of qualification?

STATE NEWS NOTES.
Summer Session at College Of Medicine

Dean Fl. c. Tinkham of the medical
college of the University of Vermont
announces that a summer session for
the men of the senior class only will
open June 26, this action being taken
IN response to request of the surgeon
general of the army.
The surgeon general has requested
that medical schools keep in session
during the summer, with the idea of
graduating men as fast as possible,
this being an emergency measure to
get medical men for the army. The
standards have been raised so fast in
the last few years that medical stu
dents have been diminished, with the
result that there is shortage at pres
ent.
In accordance with the surgeon gen
eral s request, the summer session for
the seniors will begin Wednesday, June
70, and viii continue on through the
year, the regular session opening rs
usual. late in September or early Octo-
Der, for the men of the first, second and
third year classes.
The surgeon general has called a con-
terence of representatives of all we'll
recommended medical schools to be held
with the committee of the army and
navy to discuss problems of medical edu-
cation in regard to the service. to be
held IN Chicago June II, DR.. Tinklam

AT the instance of the war depart
ment, textile manufacturers will dis
continue the production of olive drab
and khaki colored cloth. The war dc
partment is of the opinion that the use
of this kind of cloth for civilian wear
should be given up. The military mode
was getting to be too popular. Khaki
and olive drab for the soldiers but for
none Others will now be the rule. An.
other consideration which is taken into
account is that there is likely to be a
shortage in wool, and to uniform the
American army will take up most of
the supply that will be available. More
cotton and reworked wool, otherwis,
known rs shoddy, must be used in tn,
production of wearing apparel. Il

''He hasn't" said Bard. 'That's

him."
II don't suppose I can, either" said
Billy.
"What makes you so cross and so
curious about the May day party"
asked Bard.
Because some children were talk
ing about US to the keeper and look
ing at me especially. The keeper
was telling them that I was a very
fine animal. and very rare. when they
saw the May day parade, and they hur-
ried away and haven't come back
since! It's enough to make buffalo
mad"
"Oh. I see," said Bard, "you're jeal-
GUS"
Perhaps" said Billy. "But 1 do
wish when they had those parades
and parties with all those ribbons and
bands and costumes they'd stay away
from the zoo, for we naturally lose a
lot Of attention that way. and II we
don't know about such parties we don't
feel badly.
Mustn't be jealous," said Bard 1--WE
can't have ribbons end bands-and the
children only have these parties ut this
time Of year-whereas they can have
US all the year to gaze upon whether 1t
is May or November or January!"
So Billy felt happier, and the chill
dren still talked happily Of their sue
cessful May day party!
