Our Rrattleboro Patriots.
Burlington News

Burlington News
The patriots down Brattleboro wav.
having detected Burlington in the act
of running off with the state treas
ury very properly dropped everything
else for the business of saving the
state and valiantly pursued the Dick
Turpins of Vermont with the usual,
cry of "Stop thief " not desisting in
their efforts until Governor Clements
pen proved to be the undoing of the
crafty Burlingtonians who are even
now nursing their resentment and plan
ming on the best method of 'elifting"
the state house some dark night.
What must be the ehagrin of these
splendia patriots to the south of us
after assisting in such a noble and in
spring work to find that while they
were thus occupied certain lowbrowed
statesmen, of evil mein and malicious
intent, had managed to have rejected
bill in the senate which would have al
lowed the board of control to remove
insane patients from the Brattleboro
Retreat to the state hospital at Water
bury and had insisted on an $50 900
appropriation to maintain the venerable
custom of boarding out" Cat a profit
" o1lheouCJ y IdTSe humber OF state
patients in Brattleboro.
No doubt Brattleboro will resent this
plunge into the state treasury when it
gets its second wind, for after all that
battle with the insidious forces of the
Queen City was no gentle one, and pos
sibly they will petition the governor
for special session to right this great
wrong
We do not even suspect that this
appropriation which goes to help an
institution at Brattleboro is suspected
of being raid on the state treasury
! in the minds of the worthy residents
of that city, but after all what is II
but just thata
h If it is good thing to board out
our insane patients. why not board
them all out. If the Brattleboro Re.
treat is good place for 800 of then
why not send the other 700 down there
possibly after all the atmosphere vii
be more congenial than at Waterbury
and in any event Brattleboro eoulC
have the entire appropriation then in
stead of merely taking a good sizet
bite out of it.
Senator Villas who introduced the
bill informs us that Mr.. Weeks figure
it wculd cost about $3.50 q patient t,

provide for the care of the Brattle-
boro patients at Waterbury which
would mean an expenditure of some
thing over two hundred thousand dol
lars. How many hundred thousand dol
lars will eventually find their way into
the Brattlebore Golfers, however, is
quite easy 10 estimate and the obvious
saving to the state by disseminating its
Brattleboro annex ought to be obvious.
Certain forces, of course, are in OPP
GRAFTON to keep this pleasant annuity
moving for Brattleboro. 1t makes rath
er nice ''home industry and the
money scattered around Brattleboro is
gratefully accepted.
We ought nos, however. talk too
much about business administrations
while we allow such things to go on.
Why not board out our prisoners i'll the
same way, we always have unoccupied
cells over at the county Jail and we
need the money! With all this talk of
economy we ought to be able to take
care of our own insane without subsi-
dizing private institutions (at profit
to someone) and we ought to learn just
WHY the practice persists.

NAVAL GUNS AT FRONT.
Remarkable Feat Performed by Bureau
of Ordnance

Several months before the signing of
the armistice which brought the great
war to a close, reports drifted back to-
the United States that giant American
naval rifles mounted on railway trucks
were being used against the Germans on
the western front, says Stanley w.
Todd, in an Illustrated article in the
April Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Now that the need for extreme secrecy
is removed, the true story of the United
States navy railway batteries may be
told. 1t is tale of a remarkable feat
successfully performed by the naval
bureau of ordnance III spite of many
difficulties and in a comparatively short
space of time. Changes in the design
OF our newest and fastest battle cruis-
ers, in November, 1917, had made
available for use number of i4-inch
50-calber naval rifles. and as the trend
of events indicated that the war would
probably be fought out on land, the
naval officials decided to adapt them
for land operations to help the allies.
'fThey dreamed DREAM as one
naval writer puts it, wherein a squad
ron of colossal trains sheathed in ar
NOR plate cruiscd constantly on dry
land behind the battle lines In each
train a hundred bluejae kets and officers
ate, slept, and worked giant guns that
rested upon mechanically perfect
mounts and hurled explosive charges
to the extreme of their ranges That
is practically what was accomplished,
and the first of the five massive rail-
way batteries in action, when the ar
mistiee was signed, was employed
against the Germans within $50 days
after the idea had been conceived The
| others quickly followed, and more
would have been made. had not hostili-
| ties ended.

Windham County's JEFF"
(Rutland Herald.)


1t would be impossible, even in a
partial summary of senatorial celebri-
ties. to overlook Senator "Sandy /"
Daniels of Windham county. The Her
aid most heartily disapproved of his at
titude toward public questions in the
earlier days of the session, believing
that he was merely endeavoring to
qualify as the "gadhy of the admins
tration," but, as things went on and
the jeff" of the Windham county
team began to get broader view of
legislation, it was impossible to deny
the native shrewdness and horse sense
which he applied to the public business.
Like the Bennington county pair, he
and Senator Tenney voted on opposite
sides of most. questions, but, towards
the finish, they were frequently found
pulling together and with excellent
results.

Good Word for Capt. Gibson.
Barre Times.

Now that Capt E. w Gibson of Brat
tleboro is to take off the uniform of the
United States service and return to the
practice of law it is due him to say that
"a large part of the credit for Nermont's
fine position in the service, so far as vol
untary enlistments is concerned, was due
to Capt Gibson, who proved himself a
persistent and indefatigable worker In
filling up the ranks of the old LIST Yer
mont regiment and then in recruiting
toward filling up the skeletonized regi-
ment of the same name which was left
after the war department had used the
bulk of the men to fill up other units,
particularly those id the 10Th division.
Capt Gibson went up and down, back
and forth across the state in an effort
to spur the young men on to voluntary
enlistment without waiting for the cali
, of the draft; and in this work he was
signally successful. That is why such a
/ large percentage Of the eligible young
men under the draft were found to have
gone already before the draft got into
operation.
