CURRENT COMMENT
A Bargain Counter Rush in Rutland.

Rutland county lawyers are now
charging 800 for services in divorce
action. Which may prove quite an ef-
fective deterrent to the divorce evil. -
Barre Times.
But plenty of applicants for divorce
got in under. the wire before the in
crease in rates was made In common
with all other parts of the country di-
yorees are being sought in this sec
ton in Unprecedented numbers. Soeiolo-
gists seem to agree that it is one of the
outcroppings of the tendency Of the
times-eq equality of the sexes, women in
business and salaried positions support
ing themselves, However this may be,
it must be agreed that happiness or
even misery single is preferable to un-
happiness double. Rutland News.

Presidential Possibilities.

In less than a year we must elect a
new president. In less than eight
months the national conventions must
select the nominees. In six months we
shall be in the midst of the primaries
to select the delegates, pledged or UNI
pledged, who will compose the conyen-
tions.
The reported poll of Congress, evil
IDENTIFY undertaken before the Massa-
ehusetts election and showing a strong
following for Gen. Wood in each Of the
two houses, is interesting and sugges-
tive. But while Congress makes the
laws, it does not name the candidates.
If it did, Champ Clark would have been
nominated in 1912 and other chapters
of history would not read as they do.
As yet there has been comparatively
little capitalization of public opinion in
favor of any candidate, avowed or pros
pective. But the next president Of the
United States must deal with problems
second only to those of the war itself,
and perhaps more complex and difficult.
The series of articles on presidential
possibilities, the first of which is print
ed in this issue, carries its own ex-
PLANTATION. The Republican does not, at
this time, declare for any one of the
men who will be described Nor does
it assume responsibility for the views
of those, in most cases themselves well
known in public life by whom the ar
ticles are written. They were invited
to write with entire freedom in order
that the series might have the warmth
and interest of personal advocacy.
There is no guarantee that both, or
either, of the nominees of the two ma
ior parties will finally prove to be in
the list which this series will cover.
But the list has been made up after a
careful study Of present conditions and
consultation with observers Of polit-
ical sentiment from various parts of
the country
Each Of these articles, taken by it.
self is, in its own measure, partisan.
What is hoped of them as a series is
that, as printed here and, by arrange
ment with The Republican, elsewhere
in the country, they viii focus atten-
ton and aid in the formation of a dis
eliminating public opinion at a time
when the nation will stand in peculiar
need of leader of character, ability
and vision, Springfield Republican.

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR
Article 10 and the Reservation.

~AANA1lN ~ tAAAN NtiS AANSNAf eAANAAs
Editor of Barre Times-If, as Presi.
dent Wilson says, article 10 of the
covenant of the league of nations is
the real substance Of it, and if, as
almost everyone comedies, it is the
most important question that has ever
| confronted the world, it would be a
| distinct service if yon would print
plainly the article and underneath it
the Senate's proposed reservation, and
| follow it with an editorial explanation
of the change made by the reservation.
/ submit the article in substance Is
as follows:
"That all nations agree to act to-
gether to prevent aggressive wars, and
that in such instance their common
council shall advise them how best to
prevent such wars"
And that by its proposed reservation
the Senate in substance replies:
mo. We, the people of the United
States, viii promise nothing for the
future. We will promise nothing to
stop such wars, but we win leave all
| future wars to be dealt with by future
/ Nblit 6noC0 VI IAit Nliik6A t0IdLG1 Dc LLiC4
! may see fit"
And then the question, Would the
American people ever knowingly prefer
the reservation to the original article .
As q nation and as a people we all
| believe in fire insurance, life Insurance
accident insuranee-in fact, that an
ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure and are we going to let them
| put such a thing over on us2
John Wilson.
Bethel, VT, Nov 10, 1919
Both the article 10 of the league
covenant and the proposed reservation
have been printed in The Times already
at different times, but in response to
the request of the correspondent the
two are reprinted below:
% Article 10: "The members of the
league undertake to respect and pre-
serve as against external aggression
the territorial integrity and existing
political Independence of all members
of the league. In case of any such ag-
gression or in case of any threat or
danger of such aggression, the council
shall advise upon the means by which
this obligation shall be fulfilled
III The proposed reservation; "The
United States assumes no obligation to
preserve the territorial integrity or POI
litical independence of any other coun
try or to interfere in controversies be-
tween nations, whether members of
the league or not, under the provisions
of article 10, or to employ the military
or naval forces Of the United States
under any article Of the treaty for any
purpose unless in any particular case
the Congress, which, under the consti-
tuition has the sole power to declare
war or authorize the employment of
the military or naval forces of the
United States, shall by act or joint
reservation so provide.
Placed in juxtaposition, the article
and the reservation are so definitely
outlined that the reader can readily
discern the difference

The problem of the high cost of liv-
ing was solved by at least one person
who gathered at a government food
sale in Buffalo the other day. That
person, woman, was crushed to death
in the rush of 10000 persons to be
among the early purchasers Of the gov
ernment goods But it is sad way to
solve the high cost of living and it is
more or less of a sorrowful common

crowd which stormed the building

The Vermont public service commits
sion has taken official notice Of the
hazardous grade crossing at Jonesville,
where long covered bridge hides the

some change will be made which will
forfend the possibility of another acct
dent such as that of last summer when
a Central Vermont train collided with
an automobile, killing two persons in
the automobile and wrecking the train
so that the engineer was scalded to

CENTRAL vERMONT'S SAFETY
FIRST RECORD.

FIRST RECORD.
1t was almost a clean slate which
the Central Vermont Railway company
presented for the l2-day period of the
safety first" campaign, there being
but two accidents reported during that
period; but, good as that record was,
the report of the Grand Trunk was
even better, not single accident being
reported on that line. The safety
first" idea is something which appeals
strongly to the worker on the railroad
when it is put up to him especially that
his own life and limb is concerned; but,
of course, the safety first" does not
apply merely to railroad workers-it
applies to all who have any association
with the railroads at any time, and it
even extends beyond that, in broader
scope, to actions in every day life, In
fact, the safety first propaganda is
something which should be taken up
and spread to all phases of life in or
der that the accidents and fatalities
may be reduced. The people are going
at too high speed and with too little
regard for the demands of safety. A
reduction in the speed, at least to the
extent of injecting a greater degree of
caution, would prove very advantage
Gus and powerful agency toward
keeping many people in the world for a
longer period than they are slated for
at the present time.

In view of what has gone before, the
government of Belgium ought to ac-
cede to the request Of the United States
government that shipment of arms into
Mexico be stopped until such time as
conditions in Mexico assume more
settled nature, If Belgium really APP
preeiates what the United States did
for her in the war, it is fine chance to
express that appreciation.

PROHIBITION TO BRING
COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE
Hazel Mackaye Advises Using Build
Ings as centers for Drama, Com
munity Sirgs and Enter
tainments

Why not turn the corner saloon into
a community playhouse when the law
effects the closing OF these gathering
places, asks Miss Hazel MacKaye, d.
rector of the Department OF Pageantry
and Drama Of the Rational Young WO-
mems Christian Association
IL went over on the West Side OF
New York one night recently 10 attend

MacKaye says In explaining her theo-
ry, land as | was riding along noticed
how many saloons there were-one on
every corner and another in the mid
die of the block, 1t seemed, all just
blazing with lights Those lights ought
not to go out with prohibition. They
ought to shine for something worth
while to all OF the people, and what
better than community drama and
Sings?"
Miss MacKaye feels that the war
has given great impetus to popular
interest In drama and that through
pagenntry and drama a great deal in
he way of Americanization can be eff
fected
Through the community center, II II
De in a district populated largely OF

enriched thus through the drama of

settled in this country. On the other

such as child labor and minimum wage,
could be interpreted to these people
by means OF pageantry.
