During stormy session of the
special village meeting in Swanton
last week it was voted to commence
work at once to Improve the water
system, renewing whatever pipe is
necessary between the reservoir and
the feeding pond. No one knows the
amount that will involve, one faction
estimating that the whole line of
pipe would have to be relaid, at a
probable expense of $150,000, while
others differed. The village trustees
offered their resignation to the voters
but the chair declared their resigna-
ton out of order and the meeting
adjourned.

Presumably with the intention of
stealing the bronze for its metal val
ue, thieves one night last week tam
pered with the tablet that is mounted
on boulder at the entrance to Bat
terry park, Burlington, and succeeded
in removing three of the four nuts
attached to bolts which held the tab
let in place. The tablet was put there
by the Daughters of the American
Revolution to commemorate the
battle of Burlington bay, in 1912, and
was of little value financially except
for the old metal.

TRUTH is RELATIVE.

One of the joys of playing game
is the definite victory that is pretty
sure to result for one of the contest
ants.
! But human life is more complex.
We seldom come out of the struggle
with the crown of victory. or the
sting of defeat. Often we do not see
the result of our struggles, and when
we do that result is not always clear
and decisive. Most of the great his
toric struggles have resulted in COM
promise or in a result that neither
side expected.
Rome conquered Greece, seized her
territory, vanquished her armies, pos
sessed her cities; but Greece in her
art, science and intellect dominated
Rome so that for many centuries the
world had Greco Roman civilization
! A little later it looked as if the
mighty structure of Roman imperial
ism would be swept away completely
| by the Teutonic tribes from the north
and west. The conflict was carried on
through three centuries, and what was
the result? The Roman empire, which
had enthralled the imagination of men
for a thousand years went down in
ruins. But from her ashes Rome con-
tinued to rule the world in her legal
system and her civilization.
Today we are asking ourselves:
Which will win, socialism or individ-
ualism? Herbert Spencer thought
human life never could reach its full
fillment under a socialist regime. The
| fight between socialism and individu-
alism will probably so on for years
and from the conflict we shall prob.
ably get different result than either
side expected.
The propagandists always think
they have absolute truth. which will
at last prevail. But life is so large
80 complex. so volatile that it battles
and the result is a perpetual surprise
to all of us with our little theories
and our little plans.

THEY sCoRN THE TELEPHONE,
Boston Transcript.


1t was q sort of apprehension which
made people so slow in adopting the
universal and household use of the
telephone. The invention came in
about the year 1877 1t was a queer
little instrument then, but it could do
practically everything that it does
now. The voice came for many miles
over the wire, and that voice was per-
sonal, recognizable, intimate, just as
it is today. The form of communities
ton was an achieved fact in 1870 1t
soon became quite common in bust
ness offices. But not in private
houses. A household telephone was
the exception up TO the sos IL you
had one, people used to come in the
middle of the night from q distance
of two or three blocks away and ring
your doorbell. and apologetically ask
the privilege of calling the doctor--a
privilege which was, of course, always
granted. 1t was not, indeed. until
we'll into this century that the house
hold use of telephones became prac-
tically universal
Even now there are some people,
perfectly able to afford a dozen tele-
phones, who won't have one in the
house. They are, however. very rare.
They make themselves a solitude and
call it peace. And perhaps that is
what it is.

THE NEW COVENANT.

Senator Lodge has asked the repub-
lican members of the senate to refrain
from expressions of opinion regarding
the new covenant o; the league of
nations until conference is held.
The belief is growing that the
league of nations will not be made a
partisan question. Some democrats
are against it and quite a number of
republicans are for it,
The covenant appears to have
reached its final form for submission
to the signatories. 1t remains to be
seen whether the nations of the earth,
excluding the eight that are put on
probation, will within two months give
their formal appreciation to the in
strument.
Tht covenant which the United
States senate will consider is. a very
different instrument from that which
the president brought back with him
last February, and which he declared
could not be amended. Thanks to the
ground robin of the republican SEN
ators, and thanks to the constructive
criticism of such statesmen as Root
Lodge, Knox and Fall. and thanks to
the public debate on the question
through the press. the president was
convinced of the need of revision.
There is recognition of the Monroe
doctrine in the new instrument
though there is not the approval that
was expected. There is merely ad-
mission on the part of the league that
such doctrine exists.
Another important change is the
provision for withdrawal from the
league. The United States can give
the league a trial, and If it doesn't
want to continue in 1t it can get out
by giving two-years' notice.
Also there is provision that mat
tiers of domestic regulation are not

THRIFT AND SUCCESS.

A dishwasher recently died in AL
bany, n Y, leaving the sum of $12,-
600 which had been saved out of
wages never higher than S12 week.
1t required 20 years. according to the
press dispatches for the man to save
the amount mentioned Twelve dol
lars week for 20 years would mean
a gross income of approximately $12,-
600. However. the small savings of
the first few years were put out at
compound interest, and there was al
so, no doubt, lucky investment in
town lots or suburban real estate.
There are many similar instances of
comfortable fortunes being piled up
from very meager earnings. In near
ly all cases good luck in the way of a
fortunate investment has helped out
the small accommodations. Had 1t not
been for the initial savings, however,
made possible through thrift, the later
good fortune would not have been
possible.
Many a man has missed the chance
to gain riches simply because he was
not able to take advantage of some
good business opportunity when it
came along.

THE END OF AN EXPERIMENT.

The move to return the telegraph
and telephone lines to their owners
reported approved by President VIII
son. marks the beginning of the emu
of the countrys experiment in puoiie
operation of utilities.
M doubt congress will promptly
place the operation of the railroaos
in the hands OF private corporations
under strict government regulation
Also there will be new laws by when
+bo railroads will be freed from the
ruinous policy that has prevailed Ior
a number of years of reducing their
incomes and increasing their expen-
ditures. Both the public and the
government have had their lesson
and it has been a more costly one 10
the public than it has been to the
railroads.
After the experience it has had, the
United States is not likely to consider
seriously the matter Of public owner
ship of these great utilities-not for
another generation. at least.
The success of any enterprise de-
pends largely on efficient manage
ment-which includes, of course, the
hearty cooperation of effective labor
Theoretically, there is no reason why
any business operated by the govern
ment should not be as successful as
a business oF the same sort privately
conducted.
Here howev or, enters the human
factor, which the theorist delights to
ignore. The pressure behind the man
agement of a private enterprise Is the
necessity for success. Success means
money, reputation, permanancy OF
position; failure. the loss of these
things.
Stockholders with their money at
stake are glad 10 reward those re-
sponsble for its safety and increase,
and they are ready to remove those
whose incompetency endangers the
success and safety of their invest
ments. In these facts lies the incen-
tive that makes Tor effectiveness III
private operation, The industry to
exist must be successful.
With public operation this impell-
ing force is lacking. However sim
cerely the attempt to avoid politics
may be made, it is rare that appoint
ments are entirely without political
color The business of the great
utilities must be conducted in the in
terest of the public, and yet because
of government control they do not
need to pay in order to exist.
AS in the case of the railroads. the
management, if they are government
ally controlled. may rest easy in the
assurance that deficits will be met
from public funds.

That also lacks definiteness as does
the provision that member cannot
be compelled to become a mandatory.
AS now written the covenant clearly
leaves it optional as to whether a
signatory shall send armed forces. in
case the league declares war, but the
members are required to join IN APP

moral pressure.
The storm of discussion probably
will now center about Article x
whether it involves the guarantee
against external aggression of all
boundaries and territorial arrange
ments as they will exist when peace
is signed. .
Does the proposed covenant prevent
ireland, for example, from enlisting
outside aid in a struggle for indie
pendence? Could we have gone to
Cuba's rescue under the provisions
of the proposed covenant? Could
France have helped the American
colonies to independence? 1t seems,
to the average mind. that the cove
nant makes no provision for applying
the principles of self-determination,
after the treaty has been signed and
ratified
The fact that it leaves the United
States entangled in European affairs

tic politics into foreign questions re-

French, English, Polish and other
racial voters will be bound to align
themselves with political parties or

lieve the greatest good will come to

to this country.
Also it is difficult to see just how
we are to have a determining voice
in the disposition of Fiume, if we are
to insist upon the Monroe doctrine
as policy for the western hemi-
sphere.
All of these things will have to be
considered by the senate, before it
makes up its decision as to whether
the covenant shall or shall not be
ratified.
