Quick Death Of Highway Bill.

The board of control highway bill did
not last very long after it had made its
appearance in the legislature. Coming in
with an adverse report, it was quickly
killed in the House and no questions
asked. Still, the agitation of the high
way matter, carried on by the patrol
committee, has been valuable, even if it
did not materialize in legislation this
time 1t has brought the question to the
front and has forced people to consider
the matter.
1t is possible that the whole affair was
preiudiced somewhat by the out of the
state talent which was brought in to con
duct the campaign, for oftentimes such
influences are paramount, although they
do not deserve to be. Too frequently the
source of proposition instead of its
merit is a determining factor.
However, it is recognized that Vermont
has highway problem, and if the sub
jeet is kept before Vermonters in Yer
monters' way the day win come when it
will receive more favorable consideration
at Montpelier, and another step forward
will be made.
1t is not unlikely that the present
movement has actually been weakened
instead Of strengthened by the ferceness
of the attack that has been made on pre-
vious highway work. The people had
thought that, under the conditions, Yer
mont had been doing fairly well with its
roads, and they were so well convinced
of this that they elevated a highway
commissioner to the highest office in the
state To be told all at once that what
had been done was so poor, and to have
outsiders figure so prominently in the or
ganization that was doing the telling,
may have caused confusion and resent
ment in some quarters which are not
entirely devoid of influence
This is possible diagnosis of the stu
alton, and perhaps there is lesson taught
which can be followed with advantage in
the future.-St. Adams Messenger.

WHAT BREST Is.

A better comprehension of the soil con
ditions which make Brest, France, more
or less of a pest hole and which cause a
great deal of sickness is furnished by
Barre 'boys who have returned from
France and who inform us that the soil
of that district corresponds to water
logged land such as may be found on
many low-lying farm in the United
States. A spade industriously applied to
this Brest soil for a few seconds leaves a
hole into which water seeps almost i'm
mediately, showing that the surface soil
is impregnated with moisture; indeed,
constant stamping of many feet churns
this soil in a short time into a veritabe
quagmire fairly oozing water. This in
spite of the fact that the territory about
Brest is more or less rolling and not
wholly fiat as one might expect on hear
ing a description of the soil.
1t is on soil of this nature that Amer
lean soldiers large part of the army
are compelled to spend days, and some
times weeks, in waiting for transport
service to the United States Those who
do not have shelter in houses are COM
PEELED to make their beds on this soggy
ground. A few of them are able to find
boards which they lay on top of the
ground and they are thus measurably
protected from direct contact with the
damp ground, but others, less fortunate,
are compelled to cast their blankets on
the bare ground and in a short time the
blankets become moist and even wet
from contact with the moisture in the
soil.
Is it any wonder, then, that disease
breaks out in alarming epidemic in this
place Brest, a place not fit for cattle, as
Senator Owens saysl Is it any wonder
that the boys become afflicted with
inconsistencies and melancholia as they
find themselves condemned to stay in
this disease- breeding hole? There are
other conditions which are not conducive
to the best health of the soldiers, if the
stories that the returning soldiers are
telling are true; but even without con
sidering them the situation is very Sc.
rious.

While the other great countries of the
allied cause have taken a more or less
tolerant attitude toward Germany, Glenn
enceau has TALKED in season and out of
season that Germany must be not alone
humbled but that she must be rendered
impotent to prosecute war, 1t is con
sidered in some quarters that Clemen-
ceau's obstinacy has been responsible in
part for the prolongation of the negotia-
tions for league of nations and peace
treaty long after the time when the ba-
sic principles of the two instruments
should have been decided upon.
1t is perhaps due to this position of
Clemenceau that one may ascribe the
cowardly attack on him in Paris this
morning; and the causes lying back of
that might be either resentment over
Clemenceau's insistence that Germany be
humbled for generations or resentment
that Clemenceau was apparently respon-
sible for delay in the fruition of the
benefits of peace. 1t is fortunate for the
good of France and for the good of the
world, however, that the would be assas-
sins purpose was not carried out, for the
peace conference undoubtedly needs just
such personality as that of Premier
Clemenceau.

forward from the Gates policy of high
way control. 1t believes that more extern
sive and intensive highway improvement
should be undertaken, and looks with
favor on the proposition for an expert in
vestigation. although warning the legis-
lature against committing the state to
any scheme whose cost would be all out
of proportion to what it can afford.
The most urgent highway need just
now, in the opinion of the Randolph CON
temporary, is more attention to and out
lay upon the so-called back roads"
which in many cases have not been kept
up in recent years, with the result that
travel and transport over them are hard
and costly and property located on them
has deprecated in consequence. But we
cannot 90 heavily into permanent CON
struction and do this also There are,
and will be indefinitely, so many de-
mands for public funds that it would be
unwise to direct disproportionate
amount in any one way.
The first object Of public expenditure
should be to promote the greatest good
to the greatest number. 1t is not selfish
ness, but a proper conception of their
own rights, that inclined the small towns
off the main, travel routes to oppose the
patrol idea. Until their own commonly
used and highly necessary highways are
brought up to a point not now general,
they will not favor enormous OUTLAWS
and bonded debts in behalf of main lines
whose advantage to them is more or less
remote
1t seems to The Herald that a compro.
mise arrangement could be effected which
would promise results in both directions.
Suppose the state highway tax were to
be doubled and distributed and expended
as at present, except that one-half of it
might be used for temporary repairs and
maintenance, providing the town raised
and expended a fixed minimum on its
highways. The motor vehicle fund, save
what is needed for maintenance of the
so-ealled highways, could be applied
toward the construction of the kind of
permanent highway best fitted, according
to the Judgment of experts, for the par
ticular locality, and laid out in further.

Practical Poland

Poland may now be said to have ar
rived. A constitutional government has
been organized. with Mr. Paderewski as
prime minister and popular election
has been held, the result of which strong
ly supports and confirms that govern.
ment. We may therefore expect in the
near future to see that famous land Of
romance and art enter upon a practical
career, not alone of self government and
independent sovereignty, but also of de-
velopment of those vast natural re.
sources which it possesses but which
under century and a half of alien rule
have either lain dormant or have been
used for the benefit not Of Poland itself
but of other lands.
1t must be remembered that the period
of alien domination of Poland embraced
the entire period of the worlds modern
development in the practical arts of in
dustry, commerce and civilization. The
application of steam and electric power
to manufactures and transportation the
use of coal, of petroleum and of other
minerals and all the triumphs Of nine
teenth century science, have been
achieved by the world while Poland has
been a subject state, a geographical
expression" as Metternich said of Italy.
The result is that we have too greatly
ignored the practical poteutialities of
that country. We have remembered the
romance and the heroism of its history
and have revealed in the glories of its
literature and music, and have forgotten
its capabilty of becoming one of the
great economic forces of the world
Yet the latter view is accurate and
pertinent, and now has ample promise
of realization. Granted free access to
the sea, and the restoration Of those
sundered territories which contain a large
portion of her mines and other natural
wealth, Poland will be in a secure posi-
ton, not only to develop an industrial
and commercial greatness not surpassed
upon the European continent, but also to
serve as the natural connecting link be-
tween western Europe and the northern
and central East.
The natural wealth of Poland, stored
in the northern slopes of the Carpathi-
ans, and especially in the western corner
near the source Of the Vistula, the Nida
and the Varta rivers, makes that coun-
try potentially one of the richest in the
world, At the time of the partition the
value of coal fields was still unrecog-
nized and thus entered but little into
the problem of dividing Poland among
the despoiling powers. 1t was thus large
Iy by chance, or by virtue of geographi-
cal accident, that so large part of the
coal fields was assigned to Prussia. New
ertheless it is a fact that that acquisi-
ton of Polish coal fields formed the
basis of Prussia's industrial and com
mercial greatness, the theft of the
French mines in 1871 completing the
work of making that robber country the
chief economic power of the continent,
In Polish Galicia, too, are, probably the
richest oil deposits in Europe. Quite I'M

THE ATTACK ON CLEMENCEAU.

Premier Georges Clemenceau of France,
who was to-day attacked by would-be
assassin, is without doubt the foremost
figure of France at the present time, cas-.
lily eclipsing President Poincarc and even
claiming public attention over Marshal
Foch. He is the foremost figure of
France because Of his peculiarly dom
mating personality and his almost brut.
al insistence in presenting his views. It
is this latter quality which has brought
him into disfavor in some parts of the
world, particularly among those coun-
tries which failed to crush France in the
great war, because Clemenceau has been
insistent and yet more insistent in de.
handing that Germany be left by the al

Aside from a few contests in the
wards, Barre's forthcoming municipal
election promises to be barren of excite
ment; yet that possibility should not
have a tendency to keep the voters from
doing their duty of going to the polls
The voters have but few chances in the
year in which to have their say in the
government of the city and they should
not neglect any of those few chances
even though it seems that not much may
hinge on their votes. So let there be a

When we recall the history of France
since the collapse Of Napoleon it is no
wonder that she breads INVASION dis
trusts particularly her German neighbor
and wants to make as sure as possible
her safety by such human devices as
strategic frontiers and strong armies.
She puts little trust in any scrap of
paper" or any policy at all based upon
international unselfishness. All this is
explainable and pardonable. Alliances"
she has and understands; the balance Of
power, tipped in her favor, she can ap-
preciate and depend upon; but this nebu
lous league of nations, bred in a Wash
ington library behind the Atlantic moat,

Of war before 1914, can France risk her
life behind that paper bulwark?
President Wilson visited her "Parlia-
ment' and told her public men that not
only should France trust that paper bull
wark but that il is the only bulwark she
can trust. If France stands alone and
trusts 10 her own military might, the
president clearly thinks that she may
fail, terribly, tragically, IN a more
CHASTITY weller Of wanton devastation
and wild rapine than she has yet known.
