Stacker Citizens.
(Rntland NeMS.l

Less than fifty voters attended the
annual school meeting in Brattleboro
when tax of so cents on the dollar of
the grand list, an appropriation of $52,-
600, was voted and when it was agreed
to give all the old teachers bonus of
800 the forthcoming school year and
all the new teachers bonus of half this
amount. Now all this is important bus
mess. 1t is the expenditure of fourth
of all the public moneys of the commun-
ity Probably if all the eligible voters
of Brattleboro had been present at the
meeting, the same action would have
been taken. Then again, it may not. In
any case the citizens did not attend the
annual meeting and who might have
done so are without defense They are
Stacker citizens. And, talking about
suffrage, it is just this class of citizens
from whom the right to vote should be
taken If they persist habitually in neg
lect of their civic duties. At least, the
habitual non-voter should be penalized.

Albert Spaulding, violinist, whose en-

a Chicago-born artist, of family noted
IN the history of the American sports.
After study of music in New York, Flor
ence, and Paris, he made his first formal
appearance before a critical European au-
dience IN Paris in 1905. His American
debut came three years later. He has
since toured very thoroughly both Eu-
rope and the United States, and gradu-
ally won at home something of the same
sort OF interest and standing that he
earlier gained abroad He composes as
well as renders musical compositions.
While the United States was at war he
was generous with his time and talent
in serving the committee on entertain
ment of the soldiers. Later Mr.. Spauld-
ing decided to do his own bit as a
soldier and joined the military forces of
the United States.

RESERVATIONS NO DEFENSE.

"Unless materially modified, either
by amendment or reservation, l cannot
support the proposed plan for a league
of nations. Senator W. P. Dilling-
ham.
=" Am today opposed to league of ma
tons without reservations. Senator
c. S. Page.
"The situation regarding the league
covenant is that there must be reserva-
tions. ''-Will H. Hays, chairman of the
Republican national committee.
There you have three Republicans call
ing for ereserya tons to the covenant OF
the league of nations, and unanimty
that indicates party declaration
Chairman Hays has named these reser
vations: The safeguarding of the SOW
ereignity of the United States in every
particular, the guaranteeing of the Mon
roe doctrine beyond the shadow Of a
doubt, the elimination of Article 10 OF
its modification so congress shall fee,
free to decide when and to what extent
our soldiers shall be employed, the re-
tention of full control of immigration
the tariff and all other domestic policies
full right to withdraw from the leagu,
at any time without hindrance or condi
lions of any kind after giving suitable
notice.
If the United States is to make reser
vations, all other nations party to the
covenant are equally entitled to make
reservations The reservations bv al
the nations might, undoubtedly would
remove every obligation worth while in
the covenant and completely defeat any
league. With the league defeated the
treaty of peace would be nullifed. In
confirmation of this statement is the
declaration of Senator Colt of Rhode
Island, Republican: 81 have always be
heved the league to be inseparable from
the peace treaty, because the treaty can
not be enforced except through the
league. The peace treaty leaves the
world on fire, with national aspirations
unsatisfied, territorial limits underlined
racial conflicts impending and with in
cipient wars already started If it is
unthinkable for US to desert England
France and Italy when the world is in
ehaos, we must become member of the
league as providing the only machinery
for the restoration of peace and order. -
lie also said: " As to the general oh
lection that the league creates a super
state and hence is destructive of our
independence and sovereignty, / am IN
able to see the force of the arguments
IN support of this proposition. A super
state cannot be formed when every ma
terial power that is exercised by the
league requires the unanimous consent
of the executive council or Of the dele
gates. -
Nor am / impressed with con
stitutional objections The treaty max
ing power under the constitution is of
the broadest character, and it includes
everything that is properly covered bv
the term treaty and is not in conflict
with some express provision of the con-
stitution."
Senator Colt not only has had long
experience as a senator but has served
Tor many years as jurist; and his dec
larations regarding the treaty and the
league should be given most respectful
consideration. We believe with him

Whence Dutch"

The name Dutch is derived from
Dietsch, meaning the vernacular, as
distinguished from Latin. 1t is the
same word as the German Deutsch.
Dutch belongs to the Frankish divi-
sion of the Low German, and is closely
related to the Flemish, with which it
is now practically identified in its writ
ten form. The Dutch language is one
of the Germanic group of dialects, and
Is practically the same In its structure.
