RulNnrk OF Democracy.
The reservation proposed would nor
petuate the old order. Does any one
really want to see the old game played
take part in reviving the old order?
The enemies Of "a league of nations have
by every true instinct conferred their er-
uouptedly the foundation of the whole
structure. 1T is the bulwark. and the
only 'bulwark. of the rising democracy
OF the world against the force sof I'M
perialism and reaction.
Either we should enter the league
learlessiy. accepting the responsibility
which we now enjoy, contributing our
efforts towards establishing just and
permanent peace, or we should retire
as gracefully as possible from the great
concert OF powers by which the world
was saved. For my own part am not
wiling TO trust 10 the counsel of Dip
lomatists the working out OF any saliva
ton OF the world from the things which
il has suffered.
Grent, Glorious Opportunities.
l believe that when the full signifi-
canoe OF this SreatrQuestton has been
generally apprehended. obstacles will
seem insignificant before the opportuni-
". great and glorious opportunity. to
contribute our overwhelming moral and
material force to the establishment of
an international regime in which our
own ideals of justice and right may be
made to prevail and the nations of the
world be allowed peaceful develop
ment under conditions OF order and
sa fety hitherto impossible.
L need not say, Senator, that ] have
given n great deal of thought to the
whole matter reservations proposed in
connection with the ratification OF the
treaty, and particularly that portion of
the treaty which contains the covenant
of tho league OF nations. and l have
been struck by the fact that practically
every so-calied reservation was In ef-
feet a rather sweeping notification of
the terms Of the treaty itself.
! hear Of reservationists and mild
reservationists. but cannot understand
the difference between nullifier and
n mild nullitier. Our responsibility as
nation in this turning point of his
tory is an overwhelming one; and. If
l had the opportunity. / would beg
every one concerned TO consider the
matter in tn eight OF what it is pos
sible to accomplish for humanity rather
than in the light of special national
interests.
If have been truly informed CON
corning The desire OF some of your col
leagues to know my view in this mai
ter, [ would be very glad II you should
show this letter to them,

Out of 245 votes cast, l70 were in favor

the agreement has been returned from

ABOUT 1000 FANATICS
TERRORIZE IRELAND
According to a London Paper, Ma
jority of Sim Feiners Dislike
Tactics of Murder and
Outrage.

London, May l9.-The Times and
Daily Mail say that the violent side of
the movement in Ireland is in the hands
of about 1000 fanatics, many belong
ing to the Irish republican brother
hood
"a majority of the Sim Feiners,
says the Daily Mail. dislike their tao
tics of murder and outrage, but the ex-
tremists have gained the ascendancy
in the Sim Fein movement and to a
large extent have terrorized it. A con-
siderable number of the 1000 are
known to the authorities, but the diff
ficulty has been to catch them owing
TO the comparative fewness of the po-
dice, while witnesses are afraid to tes-
tify against them.
"The organization Of mobile troops
is designed to meet these difficulties.
They will aim to descend Unexpectedly
upon assemblies of terrorists and catch
them red handed with the evidence of
their crime.
"The cases of those already interned
but not tried, will be reviewed judicial
ly, and where evidence justifying trial
is not obtainable, the accused will be
released"

STOCK WAS NEGLECTED.
So That Four Cows Died in Barn Of
Arthur Jacobs of Cabot.

One of the most extraordinary cases
to be brought to the attention of state
officials was uncovered by States At
torney T.. Il. Davis after complaint
had been made that Arthur Jacobs Of
Cabot was neglecting his farm and
stock to such degree that already
four cows had died of starvation and
thirst within the confines of his barns.
Another lay helpless, and other cattle
likewise were suffering. To this Cabot
home went Sheriff Frank Tracy of
Montpelier, armed with warrant, is
sued by Mr. Davis, and accompanied
by two deputy sheriffs. Mr.. Tracy
first visited the dwelling of Jacobs,
and there found Jacobs aged mother,
who was very feeble and unable to do
for herself, in horribly filthy condi-
ton. so much so that Mr. Tracy's first
move was to have the woman removed
TO the Barre City hospital.
The deputies attention was diverted
meanwhile to the barn, where the four
cows were found dead and yearling in
pitiable condition. The complaint
had been made by neighbors of Mr..
Jacobs. and when the officers went 10
the barn he would at first allow no ad-
mittance.
Jacobs was placed under arrest on
Monday evening and brought to Mont
pelier county jail to await hearing in
barre city court, Upon order of the
court the man was examined mentally
by Drs. Hunt and Mcclure Of Mont
pelier yesterday afternoon, who sug-
gested he be committed 10 the state
hospital at Waterbury for treatment
and observation. This order was given
out by Judge +. L. Scott in the Barre

afternoon. and the man placed in the

INJUNCTION MODIFIED.
In the Case of Annie AuClair VS.. Fred
Bushey in Supreme Court.

This morning the arguments were
made in supreme court in the matter of
the Injunction in the case of Annie Au-
clair VS. Fred Bushey. which was on
the docket OF the court for 10 years
and in which Judgment was affirmed
last January on motion OF J. j. Enright
that the defense had not advanced its
case in 10 years. Then an injunction
was obtained, restraining the bonds
men paying the Judgment and the ar
gument this morning was for dismis
cal of the injunction.
In the argument, Mr.. Enright
claimed that the bankruptcy proceed
ings had no effect, having come too
long after the attachment Of Bushey's
property occurred, and he read an sf-
fdavit sworn to before him by Mr.
Bushcy that he lBusheyl had paid 20
his attorney 500 to settle the claim
Of Annie Auclair and that he never
authorized the injunction and that he
did not know anything about the mat
ter until he saw the reference TO the
case in the papers. Martin Villas an
swered the arguments, setting forth
reason for the Injunction on the bank
ruptcy basis and asking few days to
answer the affidavit relative TO $500
having been paid him. He explained
that he had been in communication
with Mr.. Bushey from time 70 time and
that Mr.. Bushcy knew about the prog
ress 81 the case. The judgment was
for se4. although the bond was for
5000
After the arguments the court OF
dered a modification Of the injunction,
thus in effect dismissing the injunction.
The court then took a recess until
June %. when Franklin county cases
win come up for argument.
