SERVICE TO THE NATION

Mr.. Will II. Hays, Chairman o.
the Republican National Committee
has shown in several ways and al
several times aspirit of fairness Of
clean spoltsmapship, that sets him
sharply apart from the fashioned
type of political manager. He be-
lieves in justice to his political OPP
poncnts, in constructive policies. He
sees that the country has outgrown
the heat and fury of incorporate
paltisanship; that people have large
ly ceased to be blind followers of a
party name.
From what candidate and party is
the better administration to be
hoped? From majority of which
party in Congress is the wiser leg
islation to be expected? In a speech
at Indianapolis Mr.. Hats said:
This is no time for little things.
We have no time for pullings or
haulings either as against the Dem
ocrats or among ourselves. We at
tribute honesty of purpose to the
opposition, and urge that the contest
between the Democrats and the Re-
publicans be Il contest in effort of.
service to the nation.
This is a praiseworthy effort to
have the campaign of 1920 conduct
ed sensibly, periodically. To put
aside petty partisan motives, petty
personal ambitions or rancors; to
strive to see which may do the
better service to the nation---that is
the honorable and lofty competition
to which Mr.. Hays invites the two
great parties. Is it not time, and
more than time, for the competition
to begin? In the Senate, notably,
cannot Democrats and Republicans,
brushing aside the long, fruitless dis
putes and cavils about the Treaty of
Peace, weary of mere manoeuvring
for party advantage, unite quickly IN
a satisfactory compromise, fulfill
speedily the hopes of business, the
strong and growing demands of the
American people, the expectation of
our allies? Surely two-thirds of the
Senate can easily be marshaled for
this great service to the United
States to the peace and reconstruc-
ton of the world. "This is no time
for little things; that is advice, that
is motto which certain Senators, es-
pecially certain Senators in Mr..
Hays party, need thoroughly to pom

PRESS COMMENT
Passing of Volunteer Fire Depart
mentS .
barre Times)


For town having a grand list al
most as large as Barre's and a popu-
lation more numerous than Montpel-
ier's, Brattleboro's, Bennington is
considerably behind the times in de-
pending upon a volunteer fire depart
ment to protect its property. A vol
unteer fire department, no matter
how good fire fighters it may contain
is not as effective as a regular fire
department because of the greater
degree of promptness with which a
regular fire department can respond
to an alarm. The result of the
100000 fire in Bennington recently
will probably be to institute a regu-
lar fire department out of the present
volunteer department as soon as
possible. A regular department is
not a guarantee against heavy fire
losses, but it goes far toward making
that guarantee.

GIVEN PRIVILEGE IN WAR
Channel Islanders for Centuries Were
Not Forced 70 Take Part In
Britain's Conflicts.

For over two centuries the Channel
islands were allowed TO remain neu-
tral In any war that England might
undertake. This singular privilege was
granted 10 them by Edward ", and
was not revoked till the reign Of VIII
liam and Mary. II was granted as
a reward for the loyalty of the island
ers. whose commerce with the neigh
boring coasts of Brittany and Nor
mandy was constantly being inter
rupted by the numerous wars. Even
the pope joined In enforcing the right.
and by a bun dated 1883 Sextus ~.
threatened to eXcOmmunicate any one
who violated the order. On the whole.
II is fairly rigidly observed, and when
Guernsey vessel was taken In the
channel by a privateer OF Morlaix, the
islanders with their boat were re-
leased. but n few Englishmen on
board. with their merchandise. were
captured The privilege does not
seem 10 have been Of any great com
merciuI value. for when 1t was with
drawn the islanders made more mon
cy than before by fitting their vessels
out as privateers.
