Stop Planting Explosives

"Bolsheviki Bidding for American
Recognition," says g newspaper head
line. That being the case, they should
put flea in the car of their brethren
in the United States that recognition
cannot come so long as the American
Bolsheviki plant explosives at the
front doors of men prominent in the
life of the nation. 1t is ridiculous
to suppose that the United States
will openly cooperate with the Grim
mails who are doing their feeble best
to disorganizc the social order and
overthrow the government in the
United States. Therefore, if there is
any close communion between the
Russian Bolsheviki and the American
Bolshcviki, the first step toward rec
ognition of the Russian Bolshcviki
government will be for the American
Bolshcviki to settle down into reason
ably peaceful habits of lifc.-Barre

Our Own Problem

Why not stop for the moment ex-
claiming in pious horror against the
Bolshevik massacres, the slaughter
of the Armenans and the alleged mis-
treatment of the Jews in Poland long
enough to set our own house in order.
In the burning of a negro church
and school and buildings inhabited by
negroes in a southern town recently
we have one more exposition of a
senseless race hatred which is build
ing chapter in history as thorough
ly brutal and horrible in every respect
as any European debacle.
Over period of years thousands
Of negroes have been lynchcd or
burned at the stake in our southern
states. Negro property has been re-
peatedly destroyed. We have indeed
before us course of deliberate
cruelty to men of another race which
forms an ugly spot sadly needing OBJ
liberation before we embark upon a
course of criticism of other nations.
Nothing more CHASTITY brutal can
De fecOrdcd than the average south
ern lynching. We have before us
an account of recent lynching in
Dallas, Tex, which is soul sickening
and heart rending and Dallas, Tex, is
a typical American city of the more
progressive type.
Women and children Joined in the
CHASTITY affair which ought to shame
Dallas into some sober introspection.
After all fearful mistreatment of
Southern black man without a trial
is scarcely less horrible than some of
the stories which have come to us of
German brutality in Belgium and
Northern France, of Bolshevik out
RACES in Russia or of the slaughter of
other peoples by ascedant tyranny.

June Weddings

just stepping over the threshold into

close communion of two souls upon
which the collective foundation of So
ciety is built. And such being the

Sift Il 10 the Bottom

Surely Senator Lodge cannot on
pect to maintain the position that he
is under no obligation to disclose to
the Senate the name OF the man who
showed him Il copy OF the peace
treaty, and that to do so "would be
Il gross breach of good faith"
The plea of Il confidential relation
ship is wholly untenable. Senator
Lodge and Senator Borah have made
public use of the information that
they profess to have obtained, and
Senator Lodge publicly declared that
he was offered Il copy Of the treaty
to take TO Washington. Senator
Hitchcock stated the case clearly and
conciScly when he said that "theHc
senators declare in effect that the
President withholds the treaty from
the Senate and insinuatc that he per-
mits copies to go to business interests
which conveys to the public mind
the impression that Il secret COM
binaton exists between the American
peace delegation and certain financial
interests by which the latter are Civ
Gil advance international monstrous
charge"
Even if the full text of the treaty
should he made public at once, either
by Senator Borah or by the state de-
partment, the obligations of the Sen
ate would not he changed. The
treaty cannot be in possession of any
individual in New York unless there
has been a gross breach of confidence
and such breaches of
cannot be disregarded. As
the situation stands, neither the
French chamber of deputies, the
British House of Commons nor the
United States Senate has copy of
the treaty, and it was specifically
agreed in Paris that the full text of
the treaty was not to be made pub
lie until the German ENJOYS had
signed it. Thus, il Senator Lodge and
Senator Borah have not mislcd the
country, certain private interests in
New York have been able to get for

On Returning the Railroads

The question is not so much wheth-
er the railroads shall be returned, but
under what conditions. To turn
them back under the conditions that
existed, plus the new adverse condi-
ions, which give little ground for
hope of improvement. The railroads
were in the breakers when the Gov
eminent took them over. They have
lost two essential attributes of pri-
waite ownership. They controlled
neither their income nor their outgo.
Higher rates have added Il billion in
income, but expenditures, chiefly in
higher wages, are up Il billion and Il
half. Private managers would strug-
Gle nearly as vainly to reduce the
balance as government agents have
done. Railroad managers, whether
public or private, are not miracle
workers and cannot draw rabbits
from an empty hat. The work of cd
ucation on the railway question is
not finished. 1t is scarcely begun.
Having destroyed railway prosperity
in one burst Of hysterical unreason,
it will do no particular good to
bundle them back to their former
owners in another burst. No one
seems seriously to want to invest
money in or keep money in the rail
road business unless there is rca-
sonablc prospect of getting it back.
The realities cannot be successfully

HOW BARRE WAS NAMED
(By Daniel l.. Cady)
See Thompson's "Vermont," Part ILL.,
page 9

| wonder if you've ever heard
How Barre got its name,
But if | swear in telling you
Pm not the one to blame;
For this is quite an ancient tale,
And when the state was young
The folks, they wore but little jade
And spoke with frccr tongue.
The town at first was Wildersburgh
But when the settlers came
In good-sizcd Jumps, they soon desir-
ed
To pick Il prctticr name;
And so they met at Calvin Smiths
TO see about the change,
And chose a word of lofticr pitch
And more romantic range.
One said that "Paris" filled the mouth,
Another said it seemed
That "Ncwburn" was the kind of
name
Ger which he'd droilcd and dream
cd;
But Cap'n Thomson said, acct out;
From Holden's hills | came;
| favor Holden first and last,
A Massachusetts NAME"
Then up spoke MI. Sherman, there,
And said, 81, too, proclaim
I'd like to see this meeting choose
A good old Bay state name;
l hail from Barre, that's q word
To bring your town success;
Twill make us famous, I'm convinced,
And wealthy more or less"
"Gct out" cried Thomson, eco to
grass;
That amt no kind of name;"
And so the couple jawed and jawed
Until their jaws were lame;
The crowd was getting pretty tired
And soon commenced to shout,
"You fellcrs with such loads of lip,
Why don't you fight it out?"
Whereat they grinncd and quickly
greed
Acrost a pole to fight,
But if one knocked the other down,
Then any rules was right;
So off they went to Calvin's barn
To organize the game,
And started in to scrap for what
Is now a city's name.
Soon Thompson, with fearful swing,
Laid out his rival clean,
And jumping on his PROSTATE form,
Began to bat his bean;
But Sherman lodged with great sue
cess,
And missing not his aim,
He ransacked Thomson's ribs as
though
He had a world to name.
At last, with will and skill supreme,
He rolled the Holdenite,
And found himself atop of one
Who showed no further fight;
Then springing up and standing high
Above his foeman's frame,
He shouted, "Barre: There, by God!
Now Barre is the name"
