Barber Has His Say.
st. -Albans Messenger. J

For what purpose Attorney General
Barber has assumed an attitude Of self
defense in the Graham case, issuing III the
form OF a newspaper interview an eXpla-
nation for the delays which have caused
some wonderment, it is difficult to deter
mine As 4 matter of fact, if there is any
thing TO explain, as Mr.. Barber thinks
there is, the explanation is not over-sat
isfactory, for it contains little OF an en-
tightening character The public knows
when the indictments were secured: it
does not know when this matter was first
brought to the attorney generals atten-
ton. 50 it has little on which TO base a
judgment OF whether he has been actively
and aggressvely on the job from the start
or not
The matter is OF only such Importance,
now that official action has been taken,
! and. apparently well taken, as Mr.. Barber
himself wishes to attend to it. The appre-
hension in the public mind has not been
50 much when action would be taken. as
to whether it would be taken at ALL and
Mr.. Barber has quite effectively proven
that this apprehension was not well found
ed. II the interview were to be analyzed
! by itself tand even this is not protitable)
the thought might occur to some that try.
| ing TO conduct an investigation OF such an
| important character by letter writing IN
these days of Burlesonized mails, was an
/ undertaking that at least did not make
! for speed
| However, Mr.. Barber has had his say
and is welcome to it. His remark that the
action Of the Republican state committed
in informing Governor Graham that II
was the opinion of eX-governors and Other
prominent Eermonters that he should re
sign; his remark that this was gross i'm
propriety, seems entirely out Of place
Even if we assume that it was along abou
| this time that the letter writing part o
the investigation was in progress, still The
| public knew of no official action being un
| derway, and the seeming quietude tha
ruled in official circles was not reflected
tamong the general public.
| The action of the committee was en-
tirely proper, and events have justified it
for if Horace Graham had accepted the ad
vice that was given HIM and which at tn
time must have seemed to him sound (fo
did he not give his promise to act on it an'
resiun?l the state would not now find it
self in the not entirely enviable position
OF having its chief executive owe his pres
ent liberty to the fact that some friend
furnished the bail that released him from
the officers of the law Mr.. Barber wa
ready to prosecute in August-and go
around to do it in November One of tn
factors that slowed him was the very ae
ton of the state committee, which he nov
so roundly condemns. But what's tn
) use? 1t has already been said that the e1
, PLANTATION was not unsatisfactory.

Took no Chances.
(New York Tiules.)

That the British naval men have not
gained since the signing of the arr1i-
stice any confidence in the honor OF
the men who so recently were con-
Quoting a ruthless warfare against
them was shown plainly enough by the
elaborate precautions to ken by Admir-
al Tyrwhitt while receiving the first
flotilla of German submarines TO DO
surrendered He eliminated all posi-
bifties either of injury TO his own yes
sells and their crews or of losing by
last piece Of Characteristic triekery
and desperation the prizes that were
coming at last into his hands.
Instead, the British admiral met the
undersea boats with force of British
ships of overwhelming strength, and he
compelled the German crews to remain
on board, with the engine room staff
at their posts and the others on deck.
till they were we'll within Harwieh har-
Dor. Guns had to be pointed fore and
aft-necessarily harmless. that is, TO
the British convoy fleet-and it was
not until British officers had examined
each submarine and found it in the
! good order required by the terms of
the surrender that the German crews
were allowed TO transfer to the des-
troyers that came along to take them
| home again.

Rooms and a Bath.
(Hartford Courant.l

We are told that the mnn who was
once the crown prince of Germany has
secured quarters on the island of
Wieringen, Dutch territory, where
strangely enough, he is in a house once
occupied by a clergyman. We are told
that the island is lonely and that its
people keep in touch with the mainland
by means of a small steamship which
makes two trips daily. 1t should be
adequate to furnish this Teuton, now
out of employment, with cigarettes.
Most important of the information
given is that there have been added
to the furnishings of the house small
billiard table and bath. Without ref
erence to the billiard table all decent
people will be Interested in the news
that the former crown prince will have
the use of bath, for no man of modern
times was ever more sadly in need
of one If he spends five hours daily in
the tub, Sundays included, and lives to
three score years and ten he cannot
rid himself of the blood of his own men
whom he sacrificed near Verdun. Even
before he reaches that point there must
be removed the traces Of the later use

ONE VIEW OF THE SITUATION.

4 tour Of nine weeks was taken tv
l2 American newspapermen, as guests
of the British bureau of information
One of them, Frank r. Kent, managing
editor of the BALTIMORE Sun, said things
in his paper Thanksgiving day, about
alleged facts concerning the war and
the feelings and opinions Of certain
politicians and leaders, that have been
roundly denounced by a number of
writer's as lacking in tact and as Civ
ing distorted view of the present sit
uatiou in Europe Without processing
J TO pass a wellconsidered Judgment on
the controversy, we will reproduce some
/ Of Mr.. Kent's statements and present
the otaar side in The Reformer to-
morrow
! The removal Of the censorship gave
him an opportunity TO publish his i'm
pressionS. Men in Europe, says Mr.
Kent as reported in the New York
Times, earnestly desired to send infor
nation or impressions to America but
were prevented by the censorship which
" dcnatured" their dispatches. Now
it is practically sure that in the end
the peace conference will iron things
out, and that n lasting peace, based on
right and justice and satisfaction to
ourselves and the nations associated
with us, will be established. The en-
ightcncd self-interestS of all of Us as.
sure this, and the future of the world
depends upon it. There will be no
scnseless impcriling of humanity's hap
piness through the splitting of the ma.
tions that won the war. Things will
not 60 that far Wisdom and right.
thinking will prevail, and it can be
counted upon that the countries that
saved civilization from the menace
Just ended will stand together to kecr
il safe in the future Nevertheless, Paris
has been seething with internationa
iealousies, friction and feeling. i
does not appear on the top, but it i,
very real none the less.
II is this situation that led to al
S o S call for the President from
Americans in Paris weeks ago. Tn,

The Graham Tangle.
(Randolph Herald and News

Should Governor Graham have re-
signed when the disclosures came last
August regarding his alleged defalca-
tons while holding the Office of state
auditora The prevalent opinion is that
he should have done so, in order 10
spare the state the shame of having
its chief executive hailed to court to
answer criminal charge 1t is report
ed, and has never been denied. that he
promised TO resign at that time, hut
failed to perform his part He has Just
been indicted and summoned for trial.
The only possible Justification for Gov
ernor Graham is that he finds it legal
lv impossible to resign. Good lawyers
claim there is no one to whom he can
tender his resignation. 1t may be, too.
that he considers himself legally blame
less and expects acquittal. Doubtless a
strong effort will be made to show that
Mr.. Graham did not default in the
criminal significance of the term. that
he only handled public funds in the
same way that custom had permitted
other officials to do and that he has
now made complete restitution, as
others have done in the same way be-
fore him. Whether this will satisfy a
trial jury we shall see. Exact justice
IS what, and all, that the state demands
Mr.. Graham should not escape where
citizen of less consequence would suf
fer, neither should he be made the
goat because of his prominence. II
will be hard for justice TO be blind in
this ease. yet there never was greater
need of it in Vermont

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young - to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need OF
having sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples - a bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor viii tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness cones from in
active bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the subs:i.
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance Of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities.

Graham to resign as "gross impro-
priety," inasmuch as it represented
political party and not the whole peo-
pie of the state. We wonder if the
attorney general means by this that no
one can make a request unless every
body else agrees with him. Is it true
that when the governor owes his en-
tire official career to the Republican
party, that when it appears that the
state has apparently been imposed up
on, that it is not proper for the rep
resentatives of the party to wash their
hands of him, and so far as they can,
have the party relieved from the odium
that follows the placing of an insult
able man in oficea If it felt that it
owed il TO the state to ask him to re-
sign, was there any improperly in
doing II; was il necessary for the Re-
publican state committee to get the con-
sent of the Democratic party or the
Prohibition party to ask the governor
to resign? Why could the committee
not individually ask him TO resign if
they felt that they ought to, even if
| no one else felt that he should resign
| Will Attorney General Barber kindly
explain in what the "gross improprie
ty' of the Republican state committee
consists And also tell US why he feels
called upon as the attorney general OF
Vermont to malign the representatives
of this party which placed him in hi.
high position, and particularly and es
pecially why he does this when they
are not on trial and are making no &c
leusations against him.
