A Canadian Approval of a Former
Vermonter,

Vermont will not soon forget the
splendid services of ]. N. Barss while
he was superintendent of the state in
dustrial school at Vergennes. In that
position and throughout the state he
was great force for good. 1t is con
sequently pleasing to Vermonters to
know that Mr.. Barss in his present
field of activities as superintendent of
the boys training school near Montreal
is doing a work of recognized useful
ness. A writer in the Montreal Star
pays this tribute to him;
II am simply prompted to ask pub
LEFTY for these lines because after
spending day with the superintendent
and the boys, and comparing it with
similar institutions in the United
States which have frequently inspect
ed, the province Of Quebec is to be con-
graduated upon having at Shawbridge
a man inspired with lofty and yet at
tainable ideal. The average reforma-
tory aims at the medication OF the
principles of discipline, and frames its
curriculum of drill and labor accord
ingly. Scholastic instruction follows
conventional lines. Sports enter large
" into the imagination of the young.
Technical studies are also encouraged,
and results along these lines are on
the whole gratifying.
"At Shawbridge the aim Of Mr. Barss
is to co-relate these to the highest Of
all attainments-the realization of no.
biIity of character in its original sig
niflcance. Barss has, in my opinion,
made the greatest sociological discov-
cry on this continent, and ii he is pro-
vided with the facilities required to
give effect to his dynamic, he viii do
more to revolutionize the thought OF
criminologists than either Warden Ho-
mer, Just gone to his rest, or the late
DIR. Bernardo or Mueller did. He may
y God grant that he may even fnpart
new Interpretation Of evangelization
for the universal church, and do some
thing that win give the quietus TO sen
sationahsm in religion. A man with a
contagious faith IN God, allied to love
of scientific teaching and a practical,
almost uncanny knowledge Of human
nature, and the boy mind in particular,
Barss is a rarity. It is an education to
meet him. Rutland News

WHITE PINE BLISTER RUST.
Chief Forester w. G. Hastings Sends
Out Notice to Timber Owners.

Chief Forester w. G. Hastings is
sending out the following notice to
timberland owners, indicating that the
state will inspect forests relative to the
white pine blister rust. Mr.. Hastings
gives short history of the disease and
the situation in Vermont as follows:
The disease known in America as the
white pine blister rust is an Old World
disease originally attacking a native
European pine of small Importance.
The disease was first reported in Eu-
rope by H, A. Dietrich in 1856 (Spauld-
ing and was subsequently extensively
studied, particularly during the decade
1890 1900 in Germany, Denmark, Hol-
land, Belgium and England. In those
countries the disease had become cpl
demic on the imported American white
pine tpinus strobusl. This excellent
tree, a favorite with many European
foresters, is our own white pine and
has been extensively planted through
out Europe but is no longer used be.

ropean disease, which thrives much bet.

original host, The disease on num-
Der of occasions was imported to Amer.
lea, chiefly in 1907 1910, and is now
generally established throughout Yer.
mont and is liable to appear at any
time in any place where pines are in
close proximity to either wild or cult.

bury and Orange. Native pine infec-
ton has been found at Lyndon, Thet'
ford, Ryegate, Barnet, Newbury, Brad.
ford and Royalton. Currant and goose
berry infection can be found at almost
any place in the state where serious
search is made. This does not mean
that whole pine stands, either planta.
tons or native growth, will die in a
few years. The spread of the disease
over a continent may be rapid, but the
local spread of the disease until it in
cludes all trees in stand is compare.
lively slow Seldom is the spread Of
the diseases in a stand more rapid thar

year to each 100 healthy trees,
The situation in Vermont is therefore
serious but not hopeless, since every
where there is still time to save the
pines by pulling out the currant and
gooseberry bushes and thereby abso'
lutely preventing infection OF pines now
healthy.
The state of Vermont and the federal
government are cooperating to help tht
pine woodland owner who wishes tc
stop the spread of this disease in hi:
pines. We win gladly inspect your
stand of pine and the surrounding
country and advise with you. Write

in substantial manner the service OF

Autos Pay for State Roads.

II Minnesota should fail TO vote the

1t would be because of sheer apathy,
and not because of any well grounded
hostility to the measure.
Under the proposed amendment there
will be no taking of lands, no taxing

seems trifiing as compared with the
value of the highway system. Certain
" no owner OF a motor vehicle will op-
pose the amendment.
Far from burdening counties and
townships with added road taxes, this
bond plan offers relief, in that the en-
tire seven thousand miles OF trunk
road will be taken off the hands of the
local authorities by the state, leaving
Ri local taxes to be applied to the
building and maintenance Of feeder
roads. Already the sum of these local
taxes in the state amounts to almost

France vindicates Democracy.

The French elections mark turning
point in French politics. They have
greatly strengthened the democratic
idea and the republican form Of govern
ment. They show that the French peo-
pie have taken the lessons of the war
to heart. Clemenceau said finally in
the Chamber, when the dissolution Of
that body was being debated, that
France had conquered the Germans in
the field, but had yet to prove al the
ballot box that she was equal to sub
DUNG the internal forces which threat
ened her unity and security.
The French have now met that test.
The Socialist extremists, who put 10y
atty to an inteFnationale inspired by
the doctrines of Lenine above the pres
ervation of free government, were rout-
ed at the polls. The defeatiest group
in the old Chamber, led by Joseph Call
laux, which secretly hoped to come
into complete control az the negotia-
tor of peace of accommodation with
Germany has been reduced to impoten-
ey. Syndcahsm and sovietism have
been repudated as poisonous exoties,
certain TO paralyZe the energies OF any
state which has to face the present
enormous tasks OF reconstruction.
Clemenceau made war. France wants
his immediate successors 70 put equal
energy and singleness of purpose into
the solution of peace problems
The victory Of sanity aud demccra-
cy in France win have tranquiliz-
ing effect all over Europe
Frances vote will hearten the peo-
piles which, in their detection, have
been tempted TO listen to the counsel
OF the revolutionary Socialists A
strong and orderly France will be a
prop to order and freedom elsewhere
in Italy, Rumania, Poland and Czeeho-
Slovakia, and even in Germany, Aus
tria and Hungary. France was the
great apostle IN Europe Of the demo
cratic idea. At critical moment she
has rearmed her faith in that idea
