TURN ON THE LIGHT

The people of Vermont are beginning to
realize that we shall not get at the real
gst of Vermont's financial conditions
through the courts, but through legis-
iative investigation. The rules of evil
dence, court procedure, the success Of
lawyers in swearing witnesses to tell "the
whole truth" and then doing everything
to prevent them from telling any more
than will help their particular side Of the
case are all calculated to submerge under
a wave of uncertainty. perplexity and OBJ
security what any particular situation in
hand really is The people Of Vermont
would really like to know just what the
whole inside of the financial situation in
the State capital really has been and Is
The newspapers have been trying to find
out in order to tell them, but to no avail
If State Bank Commissioner Williams
were allowed to tell all he tried to tell
during his trial, and in addition all he
knows about the whole case, and Horace
F. Graham were asked by a legislative
committee of investigation to tell all he
knows, and so on. the people of the State
would have a fairly adequate idea Of

was given exclusive jurisdiction over
such matters at a time when many Of
the men lived who first put article 9Th
into our constitution. and who,knew what
they meant by it.
1t may be added that the reason for
passing the proposed prohibitory amend
ment is that prohibition is not a matter
Of internal police in any sense. but is
necessarily a matter which to be effective

for the amendment therefore, takes It
outside the scope of article 9Th of the
State constitution even as interpreted by
the opponents of ratification.

MRS. M'GILTON AN AUTHOR

To the surprise of all but few of her
intimate friends, Mrs. Alice King Nc
Clifton, wife of Prof. W. w. McGilton of
Middlebury College. is announced as the
author of book which has just ap-
peared. being published by Richard G.
Badger Of Boston. The work is "A Study
of Latin Hymns and in view Of the scant
material that hitherto has been published
along that line, her book is unique in
many particulars. 1t is the result of Mrs
McGilton's personal study and critical
reading of over 500 Latin hymns. psalms
and canticles. treated In chronological
order. The study is pursued in purely
historical way. with the purpose of re-
vealng the value of Christian hymns as
human documents. Mrs. McGilton is re-
ceiving the much deserved congratula-
tons of her friends upon the appearance
of the book. which has meant, on her
part. great deal of historical research.
She dedcates the book to Prof. Myron
Reed Sanford of the Latin department
at the college; and in her preface ack-
nowledges the assistance of Prof. r. II.
White, who read the Latin text of her
manuscript

wANDERs BAREFOOT IN SNOW
After a party of $50 people had spent
all of Sunday searching for him, Pri-
vate Charles Colby. son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Victor A. Colby of Corinth, was found
Sunday evening in the. highway lead
ing from Waits river to Barre, where
he had wandered in a mentally unbal-
anced condition as the result of an at
tack of influenza. Although without
shoes or stockings and mittens and clad
only in trousers and shirt, his feet
and hands were not frozen and he
seems to have received no harm from
his exposure to the wintry weather
from midnight Saturday night to six
o'clock Sunday night. 1t is supposed
therefore, that he must have conceal
ed himself in some building during the
day, only to start out barefooted over
the snow as soon as darkeness came
on. The young man, aged rs years,
and the oldest of six children, had not
been well since an attack of influenza at
Camp Devens last summer. having gone
there in the first draft last May. On
partially recovering from influenza, he
was stricken with what some thought
was shock while out with a detail
digging trenches. He was not present
at roll call that night. and the next
day he was found near the trench
Since then his mind has not been who'll
ly clear and he was discharged from
the army. returning home some weeks
ago. His family had been watchful Of
him inSthe time since then but he was
left alone for a short time Saturday
night and he took advantage Of the
opportunity to jump from a second
story window and to flee into the
woods. searching party was made up
and the whole territory in the vicin-
ity of the Pike hill copper mine, near
which he lives, was gone over, but
to no avail. 1t was not until Sunday
evening that the young man was dis
covered in the main highway by a par
ty from Waits River. He was at once
given shelter and is now receiving care
in the hope that his experience will
not turn out seriously. The place
where he was found was two miles
from his home.

THE WAR NOT YET ENDED

Some of us have been impatient over the
apparent hardness Of our war depart
ment in demobilzng the American ar
mics. We have asked why our boys
should be kept under arms in environments
in this country in particular when the
war has ended. We have wondered why
our American forces were not coming
from France faster.
1t will be recalled that some Of the
French generals insisted upon keep
surprise move by the Germans, even after
the enemy had fulfilled some of the terms
of the armistice. The French do not even
yet trust the Germans. Knowing this, we
are Inclined to attribute some of the
suspicious of the French officers to their
natural antpathy toward the Germans.
The feeling that the war may not yet be
over is not confined to the generals of the
French army. Burlingtonians and other
Vermonters will find food for thought in
this direction in the utterance of our own
the Atlantic fleet throughout the war with
Germany. In the course of his address
before the Poor Richard Clubs Franklin
day banquet in Philadelphia, Admiral
Mayo questioned the wisdom of convert
ing battleships into transports to bring
our. American soldiers back from France,
owing to the fact that the war may not be
ended.
"Armistice does not spell peace" Admit
raj Mayo declared. IF this great war
ends without difficulties following, it will
be different from any other war, and we
may need our battleships at any tir?c. The
idea that the only thing to do now is to
get the boys back quick is all wrong,
1.-THE matter is settled now. and we
to wiser heads than mine, but this max
Ing of the battleships over into transports
I very much regret. If you knew how
great task it is to get battleship pre-
pared for war and to train and equip a
crew, you would know how terrible a
blow it is to the navy to have two-thirds
Of the crews taken off the ships. and have
them torn apart and sent to transporting
soldiers"
When war began, Admiral Mayo said
the navy as a whole was not ready for
not the money to be ready" he said. 1--WE
did not have enough ships, we did not
have enough men. To get ready for war
we had to multiply our personnel nearly
en-fold. from 6O,OOO to nearly a half mil.
lion. / think we all agree now that had
America spent few millions before the
war for preparedness she would not have
had to spend many billions in war, and
had she spent a few hundred millions
there would not have been any war"
In other words Admiral Mayo would
have this nation prepare, not only fol-
possible renewal of war with German,
at any time. but also for "A second will
a new Germany in the decades I,
come. We are reminded in this connec
ton that some of the German leaders ar
already declaring their nation was no
defeated in this war They are saying tn
next time they will not have leaders b
inheritance, but leaders who are reall
men and qualified to lead. All thes
things are worth careful thought whe
we are asked to proceed on the assumr
ton that the Germans have been Dor
anew, and to disarm accordingly.
