Live Stock Sanitation.

Quarantining against charbon may
help some, but little can be gained
from it unless horse-f1iea, buzzards,
dogs, etc, are also quarantined
against. az they are carriers and
spreaders of infection. Charbon is
not transmitted directly from one
animal to another, but indirectly,
through the medium Of infected food
(grazing) and water, and through
incubation from the outside by in.
fected horsefiies, and other blood
sucking insects. The most important
thing to Quarantine" is the charbon
infected carcass by burning, 80 as to
destroy the source Of Infection and
prevent it's being carried and spread
by the different carriers, some of
which we have mentioned. The blood
of the undestroyed charbon carcass is
the main source from which disease
is spread.-Dr. w. H. Dalrymple.

The Proposed New Louisiana
Constitution.

The Louisiana legislature, at It's
recent session. passed a bill under
which there will be submitted to the
people the question whether con-
vention shel be called to write ne"
constitution, for that state. In the
Democratic primary campaign Do'h
Governor Parker and his opponent
Frank P. Stubs, advocated the call
ing of convention.
If the Louisiana voters declare 1or
8 convention the constitution it WHl
write will not be submitted to the
people for adoption or reectlon. lt
will cause no surprise that some ad-
verse criticism is being darecteo
against this provision of the eonVen-
ton measure passed by the leglsla-
ture. By way Of answer to suep
criticism the New Orleans Item de-
clares that a few dozen politicians
and Office holders, who will lack
perouisites under new constitution
that they now enjoy, and half dozen
special interests that will not fare 50
well under new constitution, might
defeat g new constitution by clever
ly urging some different clause IN
it in various parts of the state as
local ground for opposition.
The present constitution OF 'lr"
Rinia, which was written after the
paople had acted favorably on the
question submitted by the legislature
of 1900, "Shall there be conven.
ton to revise the constitution and
amend the same?" was not submitted
to the voters Of that state.-Arkansaa

Fire Prevention in Burlington.

A tightening up in the matter OF
preventing fires in this city is an excel
lent proposition and any plan that
Chief Stockwell proposes to develop
should meet with much cooperative
support.
The annual fire loss in Burlington,
as we'll as throughout the nation, is
far too large. 1t represents an economic
loss that should not be tolerated at
any time, but which is especially OBJ
noxious in an era of very high con
struction costs.
Fires spring very largely from care
lessness. The man who allows rubbish
to accumulate aids and abets the fire
fiend. the careless smoker who fiips his
match or cigarette stub carelessly away
is as much of a destructionist as full
fledged bolshevik; persons who are not
careful in the handling of fires in their
building, who are careless in the use
of kerosene, gasolene and other intlam
mables are contributors TO the vast
annual loss through fires.
Enough contlagrations will develop
without being augmented by the care
less Of the various communities. Bur
lington should clean up and keep
cleaned up, electric wiring should be
kept in shape, hues should be cleaned
regularly, heating apparatus should be
watched 10 prevent overheated pipes,
dozens Of precautions often disregarded
should be taken 20 bring down fire
losses.
The householder or business man
who is careless in this matter is an
enemy of society in that he promises
to do his neighbor considerable injury.
Chance of fires should be reduced TO
a minimum through careful and con.
scientious methods Of preventions, and
locally we should interest ourselves in
such a campaign.

CURRENT COMMENT

In The Heralds opinion, Mr.. Hart
ness merely erred ON the side of eau
ton when he postponed his declaration
on the 18th amendment until such
time as the courts should pass upon
its validity. 1t would have been a
good plan if some other people not
candidates-had been similarly careful,
but we hadn't noticed that it made
much difference with the enforcement
squads of the national government

personal liberty ineffective but have
authorized them to invade certain 9th

The little furry over the attempt of
the allies to get the former kaiser into
court for trial on charges growing out
of the war is given chance to subside
through the action of the allied powers
in accrrting Hollands most recent
note concerning the matter; and it is
probable that the once naughty ruler
will be permitted to live out his days,
undisturbed, in the retreat set aside
for him in Holland. 1t is well so, for
it is probable that no better punish
ment could be meted out to him, there
to ponder on his former glory and on
his present disgrace. And, after all,
there is no great desire on the part OF
his late enemies to go through the
forms of holding court over the man,
albeit there was at the close of the
war a desire for revenge for wrongs
done the world. Let the ex-kaiser re-
main alone with his own thoughts;
they may bring him the punishment
which meets his oHenses.

London, March 3l.-professor Skill

will leave this city for Berlin on Fri
day for the purpose of establishing one
or more Libraries of English and Amer
lean books on philosophy, science, lit
erature and other branches of study.
Books contained in these Libraries will
be such as are indispensable to univer-
sity teachers, but cannot be obtained
in Germany at present because of the
high cost of the volumes and the
straitened circumstances of most teach
ers in that country.
This work which will he conducted
BY the English and American Society
of Friends, will be in connection with
relief activities in the central Europe.
Arrangements have been made 80 the
American and British representatives.
and committees from faculties from
German colleges will superintcnd the
work Of the Libraries, which will loan
books to different universities DESTROYS

believe it will promote free interchange

believe they are seizing an opportunity
to help heal the wounds Of war and
display in a convincing way the true
internationalism of learning The
scheme also contemplates resumption
of the interchange of periodical publ
cations of learned societies, the British
Society of Medicine having already
acted favorably on this idea. A move
ment has also been inaugurated for
raising fund in English universities
TO help feed and clothe the more needy
students in the universities Of Austria,

Avoiding Railroad Collisions.

A railroad accident within the sub
urban territory of New York City
takes on added Importance, in the
ewes of New York journalists, from
the scene. And, considering the vast
number Of passengers who daily pass
to and from the city over these subur-
ban lines, the utmost precautions for
safety are rightly expected. The Out
look. however, in devoting long edito-
rial to the collision on the Central rail
way of New Jersey at Bli2abethport on
the Sd, draws number OF lessons
which do not come particularly close
to the mark.
The outstanding fact about the &C
cident was that an engineer failed to
obey signal indications. But the facts
about which the Outlook is most con
cerned are that a branch line crosses
the main line at grade and that To-
cal train was apparently allowed to
cross over at a time when an express
was due. The chief lesson, in the out.
looks opinion, is that railways should
not be allowed to cross at grade in
dangerous spots. But wherever there
is railroad junction or collection 10
crossovers at terminals, the element OF
risk is not different in kind. AT the
junction of the Lehigh Valley and
Pennsylvania west of Newark, an east
bound train from the Lehigh Valley
line must cross three of the Pennsyl-
vania's four tracks before it reaches
the track on which it is to run into
the terminal. Even at Philadelphia,
where crossing at grade at functions is
avoided by a complicated system of
tunnels, there have been at least two
rear end collisions within couple of
wears. No system will work if the
signals are not obeyed. That is the rea-
son of the demand for the automatic
stop.-Springfield Republican.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-04-01

A Philadelphia young man who ex-
poets sometime 10 come into consider
able money adopted all the tactics he
could think of in order to avoid doing
his Bit with the United States forces
in the war against Germany, He fed
from home and covered up his trail as
well as he could, and then, after the
war was over, he returned to his home
in Philadelphia, expecting that the
United States government had forgot
ten all about him. But the United
States government had marked this
young man in particular because he
had made boasts that he would not en-
ter the United States service against
Germany, and he was not backward in
making his boasts either So the rep
resentatives of the government were
on the watch for the young man and
when he returned to his favorite
haunts the government reached out
and brought him before the bar as
draft dodger. Now this Philadelphia
young man is in a federal prison, start
ing a sentence of not less than FIVE
years and not more than ten years.
The moral is that it is unwise to defy
the United States government in cir
cumstances of this nature. Incidental
~, there are without doubt many other
men who deserve just as severe pun
ishment as was melted out TO this
young fellow.
