and it speaks hopefully for the pros
pective building program. Armories
are built with state money, while the
locality contributes the land, and their
purpose is to house the local National
Guard company. 1t is a question
whether it would be wise for the state
to expend any more money for armory
construction at this time because of
the uncertainty of what the future
military policy of the country is to be-
1t may be that the National Guard will
be superseded by universal training of
some kind and degree If the Mill
tary is to he wholly taken over by the
federal government expenditures will
be from the national treasury and the
state will not be expected to contrib

Also, it is not determined what the
strength of National Guard companies
will be, if the guard. is retained, and it
Is not unlikely that they wouh be
larger than they have been in the past,

struction would not be adequate With

QUEER APPOINTMENTS.

Lenine and Trotzky will find con-
genial spirits in the two persons who
have been chosen to represent Ameri
ca at the conference at Princes Is
lands in the Sea of Marmora One of
the American representatives, is Will
liam Allen White, of pronounced So
cialist leanings, writer of great
repute and author of works of fiction
depicting phases of American life in
rather an unfavorable light. His views
about social matters have been set
forth quite copiously in such novels as
I" certain rich man, and his views
have been widely commended by
certain portion of the public who take
their philosophy from romanees. To
write and read novels is perhaps the
most royal road to learning that has
ever been devised. The romance-writ-
ing social philosopher always proves
his case Just as a man always wins
who plays chess with himself The
fact that Mr. White is an excellent
writer of fiction, rs he undoubtedly is,
is no special recommendation for his
selection as diplomatic representa-
tive of the United States in an affair
OF such moment as this conference
The other American representative
is Prof. George d. Heron, whose rec
ord is such as to make him decidedly
unft to act in the capacity for which
he has been chosen. Prof Heron has
been in revolt against the facts of
the social order for years, and has TAX
Ell upon himself the task of inventing
a new and letter world. He is a per
son of vor~ ratie views about gov.
eminent : about the necessity OF
conforming ~ certain conventions il
domestic relations, which have become
incorporated in statutory regulations
It has Just been made known that h
is in close fellowship with Scott Near
ing 1t is known that he entertaini
views which make him kindred sou
with Lenine and Trotzky. Why SHOULD
such an avowed sympathizer be chosen
which requires an impartial investi
CATION to say the least? It is ba(
business for America to be engaged il
at its very best, but it is made mucl
worse to have it put in the hands O
delegates whose sympathies are al
with the de facto Bolshevik govern
mcnt of Russia. 1t would be very in
tcrcsting to know how these appoint
mcnts happened to be made and what i
the purpose behind them.

Charles Edward Merriam, who is
contesting for the Chicago mayoralty
nomination in the primaries to be held
this month, is conspicuous illustration
of the practical capacity of the schol-
ar in politics. for, during a period of
nearly twenty years, he has been on
the faculty of the university of Chi.
cage, Since 1909, when he was elected
to the city council, Prof Merriam has
had marked influence on the civic
life of the western metropolis. Never
in the majority in the municipal legis
lature, he nevertheless, by sheer ability
and character, induced manifold re.
forms, conspicuously the budget sys
tenn of appropriations, under which
the city is now working During the
recent war the abilities of the profes
sor-politician were recognized by the
federal government in his appointment
to take charge of United States propa
ganda work in Italy.

A Pioneer Fair.

After three bad years the Valley
fair at Brattleboro finds itself many
thousand dollars in debt, but the hack
ers of the association are taking the
right course and are planning TO make
tremendous effort to pull the fair out
OF its difficulty. The Valley Fair was
the first big fair in Vermont to make
distinguished success, so far as we
know. For thirty years it advertised
Brattlehoro far and wide and if the
stockholders are shrewd enough TO take
this into consideration they have got

times over. a good many times the in

The travelling public and the commut
er in this country may get some solace
for the increased rates they are paying
for transportation from the advices
from Germany that fares ON the rail-
roads in that country are going to be
increased sharply in the near future to
meet the deficit that the German rail
roads face. Dispatches from the other
side say that in Prussia the advance

be 60 per cent, while the percentage Of
Increase in Bavaria and other districts
in Germany will be proportionate. The
German people in addition to paving
more than twice as much in railroad
fares will have just half as much ac-
eoumodation. This, according to the
managers Of the roads, is due to the
surrender Of so much rolling stock un-
der the terms of the armistice of Nov.

Secretary Glass is strongly opposed
to congress placing responsibility for
enforcement of national prohibition
upon the bureau of internal revenue.
Mr. Glass says the bureau is now
burdened to the uttermost with the ad-

gage its every facility to administer
adequately and equitably. After read
ing the new revenue bill we mistrusted
