American People and other volumes. So
the denial will have to stand. Yet one
cannot help considering what a tremen-
dous leverage it would give to him in
carrying out successfully his program in
the peace negotiations and in domestic
affairs of the United States if he should
make plain and unequivocal statement
that under no consideration would he ac-
cept the presidency of the United States
for another term. Should he make such
statement, great deal of the opposi-
ton which he is now experiencing would
be swept aside Immediately, for it must
be admitted that a part of the opposition
is engendered by reasons of political
jealousy and the fear that precedent of
the United States since the founding of
the republic will be assaulted by an at
tempt to become president for the third
time. That sentiment was partly re-
sponsible for the aversion to Theodore
Roosevelt in his own party, not that it
was thought Roosevelt was not fit for
the office again but that he should take
action to secure a third term in the
White House and thereby hope to break
the rule which George Washington laid
down when, as the first president of the
United States he voluntarily withdrew
from consideration as third-term can
didate. However much some American
people may have faith in Wilson they
would not like to see him president of
the United States for the third time, and
hence they are more or less reserved in
lending their support to his policies for
fear of the prestige which might come
through success of those policies. So,
were Wilson to disavow any intention to
be candidate for third term he would,
we believe, see a far more united country
back of him in his league of nations
fight.

There was no particular reason to ex-
peet that the Germans would desist from
their attacks on the Poles on the eastern
border even though they 1.-THE ,Germans)
had agreed not to attack; and, after
three days cessation Of hostilities (dur-
ing which time the Germans were prob
ably preparing to make a more deadly
effort the Germans renewed the attack.
II the Poles had been the aggressors
there would have been reason enough,
perhaps, for the Germans to offer battle;
but so far as the cabled reports state
thus far, it was the Germans who began
a general offensive while the Poles were
on the defensive. This situation is cal
eulated to make the allies demand more
insistently than ever that the. German
war machine be reduced to virtual impo-
tence so that it will not have the power
to begin attack at any time and against
any nation which may happen to lie in
the pathway of its national aspirations.

The covenant of the league of nations
is not by any means a closed book, and
its parts may be changed at any time
prior to the completion of the peace pact,
of which the league of nations covenant
is part; and, presumably, arrange
ments will be made so that the covenant
may be changed at some future date I'M
der proper methods of procedure, just as
the constitution of the United States can
be changed under proper methods of pro-
cedure. Therefore, it is likely that be-
fore the peace treaty is finally signed
some of the rougher features of the
league of nations covenant will be
smoothed out and, perhaps, additions
made which seem to be demanded to
make a more effective instrument. The
discussions now going on in the United
States Congress and in other national
assemblies of the nations chiefly engaged
will prove of considerable value in case
the good -intentioned criticism can be
separated from the criticism which is
based almost wholly on shifting founda-
ton of prejudice or something akin to
that.

CURRENT COMMENT
Passing Of Senator Edmunds.

The name of the Hon. George T. Ed
munds was for most people of new
generation merely "reminiscences family
familiarized by history. The fact re-
mains that in his death Vermont loses
her most distinguished as well as her
most widely known citizen. He was long
recognized as one of the ablest author
tiles on constitutional questions to be
found in Washington. His abilities as a
statesman found deserved recognition in
1884, when a number of shining lights of
Republicanism, including the late Theo-
dore Roosevelt supported, him for the
nomination for the presidency of the Re
publican national convention, not on the
ground of geographical availability,
which was against him, but because of
their admiration for his qualities as a
man and his sterling qualifications as a
leader in sterling, Republicanism
1t is no secret that the antitrust act
of 1890, which bore the name of Sher-
man, was largely the work of the hands
of Senator Edmunds. He started a great
moral movement which found response
in the hearts of Americans generally
when he assailed Mormon polygamy, and
it was fitting that the anti-polygamy
law should be known as the Edmunds
act, just as one of the chief works of his
distinguished colleague was known as
the Morrill, tariff act
Vermonters of the younger generation
will do well to learn anew from the ex-
perience of Edmunds and Morrill, that it
is possible to stay in Vermont and win
high position in national affairs, riches
and fame, as well as to figure large in
the service of mankind which after all is
the true measure of a man.--Burlington

If the nations cannot apportion a lot
of ships among themselves without soy
ing serious seeds of trouble how are they
to apportion the surface Of the earth
and its races of people and their other
property among them, without fixing
the heart burning conditions of a great
deal more consequence than the forfeited
German navy?
That fleet must be worth 100000 900

probably more. If it be impossible for
civilized nations to make a reasonable

up at auction and sell them to the high

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Benefits of Some Kinds of Saloons.

Editor, Times: VIII you please give
me space in your valuable paper to ask
the public and officers of the city and
town of Barre if it would not be more
beneficial to have licensed saloon where
only adults could patronize and give
the license fee to those needy ones that
claim that to sell is their only means of
support, than to let them sell to young
boys IS and II years old that can't
get their booze at saloon and stay
there all night as they can do in the
dives or disorderly houses, but by let
ting conditions 90 along as they are, it
seems we have no satisfaction in trying
to support the law of Vermont that
prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquor
to minors against their parents wishes

live under such circumstances if the Off

Drumhead Law for Friend and Foe.

Military justice as administered by
the United States army upon its own
offenders and to Germans in the occupied
district of the enemy country varies 50
radically as to deserve new attention.
In our camps at home and abroad
American soldiers charged with neglect,
disobedience and incivility to officers
have received, on conviction by court
martial, in all cases summary
proceeding, sentences involving dishonor-
able discharge and Imprisonment from
five to 20 years. To Feb. in the district
of Germany now under our occupation
there had been 206 convictions of Ger.
mans accused of substantially the same
offenses, and the Penalties prescribed
ranged from fines of one to 500 marks
and imprisonments of from one to 90
days.
There is a difference, of course, be-
tween soldier sworn to duty and con-
quered enemy, but justice as it is usually
understood does not vary in the case Of
either The soldier disobeying, perhaps,
an unlawful order, is tried under the ar
ticles of war with a levity that is shock
ing and unless some reviewing authority
chances to note the circumstances an
outrageous penalty may attach to him
for life In the civil courts many safe
guards are thrown around mans life
and liberty. In the military there is
hardly one.
A merciless policy toward Germans in
the occupied district who violate the
laws of war would give us no pleasure
but there is something radically wrong
in a system which sends a surly or dis
obedient soldier to prison 800 months
and exacts from a surly or disobedient
enemy amenable to the same law only a
fine Of 500 marks.-New York World

constituted so freakishly that they ere
ate iealousies on the slightest pretext.
If the world has come to that it has
reached the stage Of civilization wherein
men and women distrust all government,
the elective as well as the monarchial.
Russia is proof Of that condition, and
Russia is merely the mot outspoken
portion of the earth on that issue. The
destruction Of property is criminal The
bolshevild claim It is the only way to
level up the world. British officials
claim the same thing as to the ships of
the Hunland. How far apart are they in

HOW WILSON COULD INCREASE HIS
INFLUENCE.

President Wilson denies that in a re-
cent conference with members of Con

term being his last in the White House
but he does admit that he expressed the
desire to get back into literary work, a
work for which he has marked predilec-
tons as shown by his History of the

As usual, some of the members Of Con-
gress forgot during the.last few hours of
the 65th Congress that they were parts
of decorous, deliberatiye body and
imagined for the timebeing that they
we're entitled to give way to passion.
The scenes which are enacted in the ma
tional Capitol just before adjournment
do not do credit to the participants or to
the government of the United States.

The current issue of Barre Granite, a
monthly newspaper devoted to the inter
ests of the Barre granite industry and
published by the Barre Granite Manufae-
turers' association, fairly bristles with
Barre and is, withal, a very readable lit
tie publication, for which credit is due
to the new editor, Athol R. Bell, who re-
Gently became secretary of the associa-
tion, The paper starts with an article
on the invasion of the west by a delega-
ton of Barre granite men and continues
through a varying program of news and
comment on matters pertinent to the
granite industry OF Barre. There is no
doubt fhat Barre Granite will fill its
place in the booming of Barre's chief in

TO all those who are liable to an in
come tax we recommend an early visit to
the customs collector who is stationed at
the Barre city hall during the present
week. The work of filing out the re
turns under the changed system is SO in
volved that great deal Of time is re-
quired and, in most instances, some as
sistance is needed in order to get cor
rect inventory filed. Therefore, to avoid
confusion during the latter part of the
collectors stay in Barre it would be well
to pay visit to>the city hall as soon as
possible. The office is in the school com
missioners' room next beyond the water
office on the right of the main entrance.
