LETTERS TO THE EDITOR


To the Editor, Barre Daily Times; A
meeting has been proposed by the SUI
preme council of the peace conference
with bolshevist representatives. This
was done at the instance of the American
and the British representatives. The boil
sheviki are the traitors who took Russia
out of the war, who were confessedly
financed at the start with German gold,
who made the shameful treaty with the
Germans at Brest-Litovsk, who have
plunged Russia into chaos, who are now
spending large sums of money in the al
lied countries and in the United States
in their propaganda, who have said they
would treat with the devil for an advan-
tage.
One Of the allied premiers, in explain
ing why we should treat with the boil.
sheviki, pointed out that the bolsheviki
are said to have a powerful army in
which discipline is being enforced, that
to combat this army the allies would
need a large number Of troops on the spot
Immediately, and that none Of the gov
ernments could ask people already wear
led by war to undertake another large
military expedition.
IL Is also SAID thdt Ehe DOlsheYlki nave
intimated that if relief were extended to
them by the allies they would not repu-
date the Russian government bonds,
which they had threatened to do. These
bonds are, widely held in the United
States, England and in France, and their
reputation would mean loss to many
American, English and French holders.
Are our leaders as sedulously seeking
the right, now that the war is won and
we are saved from destruction, as they
professed to be while the war was being
fought? The United States went into
the war to make the right prevail Even
though we are war wearied, are we going
to quit now with the job half done 7
Should expediency and financial gain
take precedence, or should the right pre-
vail? A Mortified Reader

Members of Vermonts judiciary sys-

oratorical episode in the Vermont legis-
lature last Thursday when the law.
makers went through the biennial duty
Of electing supreme and superior judges.
One Judge was referred TO as holding the
scales of justice "as evenly as the god
dess herself; anothers work was called
the pride Of all Vermont; third was
commended for fairness and clear cut
expressions Of the law still another
was set forth as an "honest, tireless and
fearless Judge; certain representative
accorded il greatest honor Of his life"
to second the nomination Of nominee;
another candidate for judge was de-
scribed as Zone Of the most popular and
most learned judges; and 50 ON down
the list After those words it does not
need to be said, perhaps, that Vermont
has, as whole, an able set of judges to
sit in her supreme and county courts.

There is one little movement in be-
half of France with which everyone may
not only have sympathy, and in connec-
tion with which everyone may do q prac-
teal thing to restore the beauty and
fruitfulness of the devastated region,
That is the movement, which has it's
central Office at 1914 Broadway, New
York City, to provide the ravaged dis
trict with fruit trees.
As all know, if the Germans left a sim
gle fruit tree alive in the region which
they invaded, it was through oversight,
or because they were driven out 20
quickly that they could not finish their
destructive work As a rule, they cut
down, uprooted, or girdled every fruit
tree that they found, their object In do
ing this, Of course, being in no sense
military, since they gained no military
advantages from the proceedings but to
hurt the French people and to destroy
their future means Of subsistence SO far
as they could. The returning French
people come back to a district in which
the very soil has been turned topsy.

which has the best chance Of success is
the fruit tree 1t sends its roots deep
into the ground. Often It thrves in
loose gravel better than it does in any
other soil, and the loosening up of the
soil.bed by explosions and excavations
may even facilitate its development, pro-
vided it is supplied with a modicum of
fertilizer. One would say that the dew.
astated section, with the proper scien-
tifc attention, could be made an ideal
fruit growing country
He who plants a fruit tree in north
eastern France helps to wipe out the
stain Of the Hun and to restore the once
fair land to productivity and beauty.
Fortunately 10000 trees have already
been provided for in France by Ameri-
can subscriptions, and it is likely that
the orchards of the country will be fully
restored by this Boston Tran
script.

CURRENT COMMENT
Getting the Farmers Interested.

The business men about town are do.
ing their part pretty well to make good
the slogan Of 100 per cent membership
to the Board of Trade" Now let's hear
from the farmers,--Swanton Courier.
A good suggestion. Why in time the
farmer should not come in on anything
shat has to do with community up-build
ing gets us. He Is certainly an impor-
tant part of any community. 1t he sits
back and tells the village folks he is too
busy there should be someone to pull
him out Of his hole, and make him mix
it up with village people, Why in time
farmers should not mingle with village
people in business and social ways we
never could understand. We honestly
think if this idea could be worked out so
that in some way more attention could
be paid to interesting them in the life
of villages there would not be quite so
much misunderstanding as now seems
to prevail. To hear some Of the farmers
at the News office, and we have many of
them, talk, one gets the Impression the
village folks sit up nights TO trim them.
There is certainly work for our mer-
chants association, Nistin club OF any
other organization in handling this mat
ter. The editor Of this paper notices a
disposition at the gatherings in this viii
lage to try and get people together, 1t is
quite noticeable and has been comment
ed on by visitors here. Now let us 60 a
step further and see if we cannot inter
est the rural neighbor to have a little
different feeling toward us than is APP
parent in certain quarters.-Northfeld

A cigarette stub carelessIy snapped
away by someone who attended basket
ball game in St. Johnsbury one evening
recently resulted in the burning out of
the interior Of the building and the loss
Of several thousands of dollars. The per-
son who did the piece of carelessness
ought to be held in bond until he earns
enough money to make good every cent
Of the loss. Nothing short of that dras,

Boston is on the qui vive of excitement
about welcoming the Goth division even
before the war department has announced
that the Goth is to come home at all. The
preparations have started so early that
the people of the good Bean city should

the return of the boys, It will be warm

Portugal with its monarchist revolu
ton is the one reactionary place in Eu
rope at the present time, the tendency in
the other countries being toward democ
racy or a purer democracy than at pres
ent obtains. Portugal has been a place
of governmental turmoil for long time
and, apparently, never finds much secur.
ity or stability under any form of gov.
eminent. The fact that only part of the
nations armed forces have gone with the
revolutionists and the further fact that
Portugal is likely to come under the in
fuence of France, and, indirectly, under
the influence of the United States, are
calculated to make the monarchist re-
gime very unsteady if they do not un-
blance it completely.
