HOLLANDS REFUSAL

Hollands refusal to honor the de-
mand of the supreme council of the
allies for the surrender Of the person
Of the former emperor Of Germany does
not stir up any considerable degree Of
rancor in the United States, and, pre-.
sumably not in most of the countries
which were back of the movement TO
get the ex kaiser personally before an
international court of justice. There is
a feeling that Holland is within her
rights in refusing to make a move to
turn the notorious guest over to the
allies tribunal, Holland is not party
to the treaty of Versailles and is not
yet a member Of the league of nations;
nor was Holland participant in the
war. Hence Holland occupies the very
well -defined position of a neutral in the
controversies growing out of the war
and is ut bounden by any mandate
other than its own will a nation j.

extradition of person charged with
criminal offense under ordinary pro-
eedure, although it Is generally the Gus
tom to grant extradition; and, in the
case Of the exkaiser the government Of
Holland can exercise its own judgment,
which. as il turns out, is against any
step toward transferring the ex-mon-
arch of Germany to the Jurisdiction Of
the allies tribunal
There may be some who will feel
keen disappointment over that refusal
by Holland. but to such as those there
should come the realization that trial
Of the accused can be held and. in case
Of conviction, the ex-kaiser would al
ways be subject to sentence under that
conviction providing he should ever
take himself out Of the protection Of
Holland or some other country like
minded with Holland in the contention.
The ex-kaiser is now a fugitive from
writ and he viii be likely
to remain so all his life in case Of con
giction. So II there still be sufficient
iesre on the,p part Of the allies to carry

CURRENT COMMENT
Fire Prevention.

The peril OF fire and the absolute
need of close watch over everything
connected with heating apparatus
have been emphasized to somewhat
unusual degree during the past week.
Chester, Bellows Falls, Middletown
Springs and several other localities in
Vermont have paid toll to the fire fiend'
some OF the property losses being
heavy, to say nothing of the Interrupt
ton TO business and the disheartening
effect on the community. There is no
danger OF OVERRIDING in the direction Of
making sure that furnaces, stoves, pipes
aud chimneys are in condition to stand
the pressure that is sometimes needed
ia combating the cold weather. There
Is much danger in the neglect Of these
things.-Ludlow Tribune.

kind the chief material they use being
the back -woodsy flavor of things in the
little communities. Now and then the
laugh turns ON the persons who have
been babbling about the absurd features
of small town" life. We have no idea
that the people of Springfield, Mass,
engage in this sort of amusement, but
Springfield is a large enough city to
furnish an illustration that the ludi-
erous is not always happening in the
small towns. 1t happened when two
| Springfield policemen, one of them a
sergeant, walked along the street and
accosted young negro, who was sus-
peeted of breaks and robberies. When
the policemen attempted to get infor-
nation out Of the negro, the latter
promptly whipped out revolver, stuck
it under the noses $50 to speak of the
policemen and ordered them to throw
up their hands. The officers obeyed
with alacrity, whereupon the negro di
vested them of their shooting irons and
other weapons and then set them sail
ing" at the same time warning them it
was dangerous to carry loaded revolvers
for the things might 90 off. The po-
licemen made tracks for their haven,
leaving the negro master of the situa
tion until an enraged police sailed
forth in platoons in search of the dusky
one That they found him and put him
under arrest does not affect the humor
of the original situation in the least.
The joke was surely not on small
town" stuff in that instance, and, in
fact, il is quite frequently not on the
little communities.

personal side. Evidently, there is NO
interest in what this OF that candidate
stands for.
Theerare good many important sub
jects for consideration in this state, We
face an age of improvement and de-
velopment in our waterways, the need
of highway improvement is urgent !;
taxation is a most pertinent subject :
and so il goes, there being plenty of
problems presenting themselves to the
solution of which we might expect po-
tential governors to address themselves,
The next governor of Vermont and q
good many succeeding governors ought
to he men of ideas and ideals, men of
action and Imagination, men who face
the front, who think there are many
vital things for Vermont to do and
who are not afraid 20 attempt TO have
them done.
There ought TO be some issue besides
good fellowship in a gubernatorial cam
paign. There ought to be some indi-
cation Of what men stand for-what
they intend TO do If they are elected.
When a man undertakes 10 run a
corporation the directors Of that cor
poration want to know pretty definite
" what he Is going to do with their
property, When a man undertakes to

what he is going to do with their prop
erty also.

After being closed for year, the
hotel at Hardwck is to be reopened in
a short time, having been purchased by
Hardwick business man. This hotel
has had many vicissitudes and has not
always been a paying proposition, as
we understand it. Yet Hardwiek needs
hotel and ought to be able to make a
hotel business pay under good business
management, especially under the inn
petus of increasing automobile traffic
during. the summer months. Hardwick
lies on much frequented automobile
route, or rather at the junction of two
much frequented routes, and it should
receive a large amount of business from
tourists. We are glad that the hotel
accommodations of the state have been
increased by the reopening of this no
tel, for the hotel accommodations have
been very much curtailed during the
present winter by reason of devastation
by fire.
