smaller nations and war between the
great nations is certain to come un-
less we repair the appalling wrong of
which we have been guilty, ratify the
treaty and join the league of nations.
Members of the national legislature
who were besmirched by the back pay
grab or the credit mobilier exposure
bowed their heads in. shame, they ex-
planned, psllisted, denied and many of
them were retired TO private life. Not
so with the Republican treaty wreck
ers of the Senate. They exult, they
boast, they hold their heads high in
triumph. The leader Of them all goes
TO Chicago to sound the keynote of his
party's campaign as temporary chair
man of the convention, while his chief
accomplice, who has never cloaked his
desire and purpose to kill the treaty
altogether, is the most obstreperous of
all the candidates for the supreme hon
or that convention has to confer, and
is so dangerous pretender that the
men of the organization, knowing that
his reckless radicalism and his follow
ing of pro-Germans and Sim Feiners
and strange wearers of all motley
would doom him TO defeat, are casting
about in dire alarm to thwart him Of
his desire.--New York Times.

A Vermont Basket

They always told me how twas made
BY old Lavake Lafountain,
And that we moved it when we moved
Adown from of the mountain;
I have feeling for il yet.
There amt no use to mask It,
The basket everybody liked
Our little handle basket
1t used to hold heaping peck
OF anything agrowing,
Like butnuts on the pasture hill,
Or greens in Gridley's moving;
When filed with cherries pinkish red
II beat the Jewel casket
OF any Gypsy queen on earth
Our little handle. basket
Il wasn't made Of csttail stalks,
Or glass or weeping willer,
But ash. s-pounded off the log,
For rim and ribs and filler;
The handle wasn't harpoon cord
Picked up around Nantasket,.
But walnut wood that made il fun
To lift the little basket.
II held Just sage enough TO dry,
And plums enough for jelly,
And Just what grapes We used to give
Each year 20 Nance McNelly;
We never lent it out but once
The neighbours didn't ask it,
They knew We had an iron rule
About the handle basket.
How good Il made tomaters taste
To have that basket fetch 'emi
II could see il full again
I'D have some artist sketch en-,
I'd own il jet a. twas
Then Portals golden casket-
The basket that could tell my step,
Our little handle-b basket
Between that basket and our hearts
Affection wore a channel;
1t would have followed rs, l guess,
If it had been q spaniel;
/ have a feeling for IL yet
There amt no use to mask it,
I wish twas here beside my chair.
Our little handle basket.

The building end of the granite in.
dustry is considerably more uncertain
than the monumental end Of the bust
ness, as the people Of the building gran
lite centers well know Granite build
ings are not likely to be erected unless
under quite favorable conditions or TO
carry out some long-delayed plans; and
when the conditions are unfavorable
there i an immediate reaction on the
business which depends upon turning
out material for exterior construction.
Bethel is one Of the towns whose gran
ite industry il almost exclusively con
fined to building work, and so, by rea-
son Of the war, which initiated against
the construction Of buildings, Bethers
granite business has been at a low ebb.
Therefore, it Is with a good deal Of
satisfaction that the people Of that
community hail the contract between
the Woodbury. Granite Co. and the
Western Union Co. for the material to

CURRENT COMMENT
Burlington's Census.

With the announcement from the
bureau of census in Washington that
Burlington's population has increased
lib per cent since the census of l0lC
the city is to be congratulated more
from the fact that the figures do not
show decrease, rather than that there
is AN increase of slightly over 1000
Burlington has wonderful possibilities
for advancement but as the figures
show, there does not seem to be the
progress in the added growth in popu-
lation that there should be to be com
patible with the increase in business.
1t depends on the viewpoint as to
whether or not Burlington's slow prog
ress in population is a good thing, but
it will be many years yet before the
city will ever attain such proportions
that its size will constitute a menace
to the beauties and advantages which
belong to almost any medium sized
city in the country. But because it
is but small city is no reason why
it can not maintain its progressive
ness. A city does not have to be large
to be progressive and as a matter of
fact, many of the so-called smaller
cities of the country are more pro-
gressive than those of larger popu.
lation. We can still lay claim to be-
ing the best city in the state and one
of the best and most beautiful in the
country.-Burlington News.

RECORD OF CONGRESS.
Severe Judgment on Part of Its Work
By a Democratic Newspaper.

The first regular session Of the Goth
Congress, ended yesterday, was doubt
less the most discreditable in the eoun-
try's history. 1t came to that bad
eminence because from the very be.
ginning ii was dominated by an igno-
BILE spirit of narrow partisanship and
by malevolent personal hostility to
the president. There have been other
sessions of evil memory, but in COM
parison the backpay grab and the
credit mobilier scandal, nearly half a
century ago, were minor and negligi-
BILE foibles. Congressman reached to-
ward the public treasury TO abstract a
few thousands to reward themselves
for past labors. II fades into insight
fcance compared with the disgrace the
House of Representatives put upon it.
self a week ago yesterday when 1t
passed the bonus bill
In that vote, 2o2 representatives
voted to take from the pockets of the
people 81 900, 0O0,0 600 TO bride, or, if
that be too harsh a word, let us say
persuade the eX-service men to vote
to return them TO the places they have
dishonored in the House. II was not
party vote, for a hungry herd Of
Il2 Democrats plunged headlong to
Join ia Republicans in the vote that
passed the bill. showing plainly that
the compelling motive Of all Of them,
Democrats and Republicans alike, was
the desire 10 buy or secure the sol
der vote for themselves in their re.
spective congressional district. BY
that vote the House Of Representatives
reached the highest summit of legis
lative proffligacy. II is TO the credit
of the Senate that throughout the
discussion of the bonus proposal, IL
showed a disposition to block this
monstrous raid upon the resources of

The record is now made up and the

Senate was resolved TO wreck the
treaty and TO destroy the covenant
The president would at any time have
accepted reservations accomplishing
the legitimate purpose of adapting the
treaty to our constitutional practice
and our traditions. The Senate would
accept only destructive resolutions.
The consequence is that the United
States stands visibly lower in the
esteem and confidence of its sister ma
tions; that we have disappointed the
worlds hope justified by the known
spirit of our people and by all our
history; that we have deserted our

bad things about candidate as well
as many of the better things. The
weaknesses of the candidates are just
as likely to develop during the eonven-

being a keen observer, viii be able to
learn these flaws in the man who event

As notable exception to the charge
that he is inclined to appoint only the
members of his own party to important
positions, it should be pointed out that
President Wilson has named ex-Gov-
ernor Samuel w. Mccall of Massachu-
sets as member of the United States
tariff commission. As most people

somewhat out with the present party
leaders in his home state. McCalPs
services as governor and in other capa-
cities indicate that he will be valu-
able man on the tariff commission.
