Graham. The subject was handled
without gloves. 1t would be difficult
to call Graham a crook in more pro-
nounced terms and considering it
was done before the mans trial, it
certainly took reasonable amount of
nerve.
So far we haven't noted any evil
dences of excitement because of the
delay in this trial. Graham may OF
may not be guilty, that is for a court
of law to determine and prior to that,
1t is our system to consider a man in
nocent until his guilt is so proved.
But if he is found guilty, no one
seems to be expecting he will pay the
penalty that $12 week clerk would
have paid if he'd been caught red
handed taking state money out of the
treasury till. Moralize as we will,
the fact remains that there's a sneak
ing admiration deep down in the
heart of humanity for the man who
steals a railroad or a state treasury
and gets away with it. Not that we
exactly approve of it but because so
many of us lack nerve eliminating
the inclination) to do it, that we ad-
NIT by our attitude that we feel bit
beneath the chap who has it and it
seems a pity for him to get caught at
it and censored as a common felon.
It's a wrong attitude and it's I'M
just. But it's the attitude we hold,
nevertheless.
Crime consists in committing the
petty little felonies that any one of
us could commit if we would. 1t
takes super-nerve and super-brain to
commit the sizeable crime and it
seems a pity for that ability to under
go prolonged restraint under state
supervision that is metered out to the

ember Returning from Hunting
Trip in the Woods

The body of Rev. Joshua M. Frost
who was drowned in the Maine lakes
last November was discovered Friday.
The accident happened when DR..
Frost and party were returning from
a hunting trip in the Maine woods.
At the time the only body recovered
was that of the child, although dill
gent search was made.
The mystery surroundinf this
drowning accident has been one of
much speculation and when it became
known for certain that DR.. Frost was
drowned it brought sadness to his
many friends here.
Dr.. Frost was a former pastor OF
Grace Methodist church and was
greatly beloved by his parishioners
and highly esteemed by st. Johnsbury
people.

is WILSON BROKE?

Property in California belonging
to President Wilson, when about to
be sold for non-payment of taxes,
was rescued from the block by man
who paid the tax arrears because he
"believed it to be his patriotic duty"
He was thanked for his action by
Secretary Tumulty and may now go
on the Federal payroll. 1t has al
ways been the idea, however, that it
was the patriotic duty of every man
to pay his own taxes.

The Word "Maqnet."

The word magnet" is derived from
the name of the city of Magnesia, in
Asia Minor, where the properties Of
the lodestone are said TO have been
discovered. 1t has, however, been as
serted that the name comes from
Magnes, the name of a shepherd who
discovered magnetic power by being
held on Mount Ida, in Greece, by its
attraction foy the nails in his shoes.

Fall in is an old military COM

part of the military machine, when in

as for instance, 'to fall from grace"
ito FILL asleep" ''befall," etc. 1t is
also used in the. sense Of classifying,
ito fail into place." which may give

ARSENAL COAL
WILL LAST FOR
THREE MONTHS
fire College on Island Still Indefin-
tie, Waiting Time When the
Cities Can Send Men.

Through its reserve of 1900
tons of coal constantly kept on
hand, the Rock Island arsenal is
protected for three months against
any fuel famine which may follow
the strike of miners. The big plant
is daily receiving enough coal to
keep all consuming sections going.
In addition there are 10000 tons
stored on the island This will
provide enough fuel to run the
plant for three months.
There seems no chance at pres
ent that the plan Of intercommu-
nication by a system of alarms be-
tween the tri-city and arsenal fire
departments proposed some time
ago. will be carried out very soon.
The plan is linked with one pro-
posing that firemen of the Rock Is
land, Davenport and Moline organ
izations be sent In pairs to the is
land to study the most advanced
methods of fire fighting. Daven
port and Rock Island have signi
fed that for some time to come they
will be unable to spare even one
man, and Moline has the question
still under consideration.

SENATE WILL BLOCK
u. S. REPRESENTATION
c. o. p. Leaders Declare
Treaty Must First Be Ratified.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is. - Republican
leaders declared emphaticalIy to-day
that the Senate would not consent to
participation by American representa-
tives in the League Of Nations or other
international commissions until the
peace treaty had been ratified by the
Senate and specific laws enacted later
by Congress authorizing such represen-
tatives and providing for their expenses.
Opposition to premature participation
OF American representatives, these lead
ers said, Is so pronounced that new
reservation declaring that appointment
or American delegates shall await leg
islation by Congress is under considera-
ton. The suggestion for a specific res
ervation on this point, 1t was said, has
come generally from the entire Repub-
lican membership OF the Senate.
To-days reports from Paris regarding
the American representatives brought
vigorous private criticism from Repub-
lican leaders of the Senate, and this was
expected to be renewed later on the Sem
ate floor. They declared appointment
OF American delegaes before the Senate
acted on the treaty would be an affront
to the Senate and another usurpation of
power by the executive branch of the
Government.
Administration Senate leaders, on the
cther hand, declared the President had
full power to appoint American repre-
sentatives on the commissions, though
they expressed doubt that he would do
so II the Senate made formal objection.
Any attempt to put the Senate on
record as opposing such a step would
be certain to fail. they predicted, citing
in support of their prediction the defeat
of the Fall amendments to the peace
treaty proposing elimination of the
United States from representation on
these commissions.
The Administration Senators said they
knew of no movement for an affirmative
expression by the Senate authorizing ac-
ceptance of the offer of the Supreme
Council and did not expect one. Until
the Senate acted on the treaty. they
added, the negotiations for the estab-
lishment OF peace status were in the
hands of the executive entirely.

Settlement of Fiume Question
to Be Left to Italy and

PARIS, Oct. 1S.-The Supreme Council
gates of the great Powers may sit on the
various commissions created under the
German peace treaty and may vote on
questions before these commissions,
whether or not their Governments nave
ratified the treaty.
II the United States Senate does not
object 1t Is stated to be probable that
the American delegates will take the
places assigned to the United States on
such commissions.
Germany is anxious to have the COM
missions begin their work fully organ
lied, 1t is declared, and is particularly
DESTROYS of American representation on
them.
Signor Tittoni, the italian Foreign
Minister, sat in the council to-day for
the flrst time since his recent return
from Rome. He has been i'll the last
two days. The subject Of Fiume was not
taken up.
According to the Excelsior, a decision
to leave the settlement OF the Fiume
question to direct negotiations between
Italy and Jugo-Slavia has been reached
by the Peace Conference.
The Supreme Council drew up a
s'hciht VI uistTlbutlOH Oh tre allleu MILL
tary forces which will be used to occupy
Upper Silesia, Schleswig and Memel, ac-
cording to the term of the treaty. The
council further approved the military
measures necessary for the evacuation
of these territories by the German troops
and the immediate occupation by those
OF the Allies.
The council further decided upon the
form of protocol to be used at the
exchange of ratification. which will be
only when 1t will be possible to carry
out the prescribed military measures.
Allied nations have agreed to make
their nominations of ambassadors to
Berlin dependent upon the manner in
which the clauses of the treaty of peace
are carried out by Germany. according
to the Echo dc Paris, which quotes a
prominent diplomat" as its source of
information. Consuls will be named
soon for German cities. the newspaper
says, and these officials will look after
interests of their nations until Ambas-
sailors are chosen.
