Forest Fire Protection.

| A bill for one of the most necessary
appropriations - that for forest fire
protection--ha Just been reported out
| by the House committee on agriculture
and forestry, with cut from the $500
900 asked, to $4,000. What the Sen
ate committee will do with the bill
remains to be seen. Meanwhile it Is to
be hoped that pressure may be brought
to bear on the Senate committee that
it may restore the amount in the bill
TO the figure asked by the department
of agriculture.
There are "a states in the country
affected under the bill, and among them
ia Vermont Even with the bill going
through with an appropriation Tor
5000 900 it is small enough and should
it be reported out of the Senate com
mittee as it was by the House com
mittee it may readily be seen how very
little will be able to be accomplished
for the protection Of the. forests
throughout the country.
1t seems little thing-this matter
of forest fire protection-unt it is
realized that in 1918 alone, forest fires
throughout America destroyed timber
valued at $40000,000. And the average
yearly loss from this same source was
s2I .0000 900, These figures are fur
nished in a letter 10 the members OF
the Senate committee by the American
Forestry association i'll protest
against cut in the BILL
What would $4,000 do? Not very
much. it's a fact. Just supposing there
were but 70 forest rangers-who could
hardly cover" the forests in 10 states,
much less the "A affected that amount
would lust about take care OF their
salaries for one year, putting the fgure
at 81 900 for each man. What an eX-
cellent protection that amount would
afford OF course, some OF the states
affected see to it, through state appro'
priations, that some protection is al
forded against forest fires, but in many
instances it is believed the amount Is
SO small as to be almost negligible.
At this time especially, II for no
other reason than that as regards the
print paper situation, the need OF do
ing everything possible TO conserve our
forests is absolutely pressing And one
of the surest ways Of aiding in the
conservation is in providing for ade-
quate projection against fire. Not only
will the fire protection help toward as
surfing the country of further supplies
OF pulp wood, but it will mean the
reproduction of the forests.
If the Senate committee realizes at
all what it is doing, it will add to the
appropriation rather than let it be re-
ported out for $4,000. The amount is
so small that it is almost ridiculous.
Indeed it would be traversy to let the
appropriation stand at the smaller fig
ure, when appropriations for matters
not one tenth as urgent or necessary
have been pushed through without so
much as a how d'y' do.-Burlington

The editor who really knows his
newspaper business as semi-public
institution knows he has no right to
allow himself to be dominated by his
own personal preiudices or his own
personal interests, in the discussion OF
public policies and measures. The first
question he must ask himself is what
is for the public welfare, for the ben
eft of the community as whole, Tor
the welfare of the state as an entirety,
for the best interest of the nation. An
editor who seeks this criterion, and is
free to seek it, may fail in his judg.
ment, but if his heart is right, his head
and hand will not go far astray In our
humble opinion, newspaper conduct
ed on this basis is entitled to public
confidence and consequently to gener.

One of the newspaper tidbits brought
to the meeting of the Vermont Press

sity of Vermont by President Smith of
the American Press association, was
that the experiment of New York
Evening Post ownership by Mr. Thorn
as w Lamont Of J. p Morgan & Co.,
with a trusteeship directing that news
paper was not proving satisfactory TO
the public. and that The Evening Sun
was rapidly filling the place formerly
occupied by The Post with business
men. The sequel seems to be indicated
by the following announcement at the
head of the editorial columns of The
Post Of Feb. l6:
"Mr. Edwin f. Gay, having under
taken the presidency of The Evening
Post, with independent control of its
management the trusteeship arranged
at the time that Mr.. Thomas w. La

this occasion to express our hearty
thanks to the retiring trustees, DR..

OUTDOOR SPORTS IN SCHOOLS

The measure of success gained by
representatives Of the University Of
Vermont and Middlebury college in the
winter sports tournament carried out
recently at Dartmouth college has
aroused enthusiasm among the students
Of those institutions, particularly at
the University Of Vermont, and plans
are being made for increased participa-
tion in winter sports, a field in which
Dartmouth has long engaged, together
with McGill university of Montreal.
Dartmouth college students have re-
ceived a great deal Of benefit from par
ticipation in these outdoor sports for a
number Of years and have maintained a
place Of pre-eminence in that line Of
college activity. Yet the conditions for
such participation are Just as good at
Burlington. at Middlebury and at

reason why the students of the insti-
,utions located in those places should
not take advantage 81 the rigorous

Il is unfortunate that the world is
not informed more accurately of the
disturbances which are said to have
arisen in the Saar region, formerly held
by Germany and now controlled by
French troops under direction of an al
lied commission. That there should be
outbreaks between the German resi-
dents and the newcomers was to be ex-
pected, but the exact nature and the
size of the disturbances, together with
the merits of the case, are left to con
lecture. The world would like to know
whether the affairs are the blame of
the allies or of the former residents of
the region.

The White Plague.

The returns from the recent Red
Cross seal sale show that over $4,000
900 was brought in to the Tuberculosis
association of America. This is a some
what larger sum than has been obtained
from the same source in other years
and assures a much larger war on the
white plague during the year than has
been possible before.
More and more is the country awak-
ening to the realization OF what II
means to efficiently fight disease in any
form and, more particularly, tubercu
osis. which for such a long time has
been the bane of the poorer classes.
And with the increased diffusion OF
knowledge on the subject and the at
tendant increased education the deadly
white plague promises to become as lit
tie formidable as the one time terrible

PLAINFIELD
Funeral of H. E. Cutler, Well-Known
Business Man of This Place.

The funeral of Herman Il. Cutler,
who died of pneumonia after an illness
of two weeks, was held from his late
home Feb and was largely attended,
despite the storm. Although of the
Uniyersalist faith, he and his family
were for years regular attendants at
the Methodist church and the services
were conducted by Rev. A; w. Hewitt,
pastor of the Methodist church, who
spoke words of comfort and paid trib-
ute to Mr.. Cutters business success and
valuable service in various official posi-
tons In accordance with the expressed
wish of the deceased, the family asked
that flowers be omitted, but there were
four beautiful designs received The
interment was in the family lot in the
village cemetery, the bearers being II.
Z. Lane, w. N. Prescott, Will Moore
and A. G. Eaton.
Herman +. Cutler was the son of ia
cob and Mary Cutler, born in Orange,
Nov 81, lS49, one of five children, of
whom two, Mrs. Janette Martin and
Merton Cutler, are still living. In 1874,
he married Emma l.. Gilman, daughter
of S. Lumis Gilman and Diantha Pow
ers, who, with the son, Arthur, a mer-
chant in town, survives to mourn the
loss of kind, indulgent husband and
father, daughter, Isabel, dying many
years ago.
The first eight years of married life
he devoted himself to farming, then
purchased the gristmill in Plainfield
village, which he operated for 10 years.
By industry and thrift during those
years he acquired competency Of
which he gave many start in life by
loans, as he liked to see others make
good He was a great lover of horses
and a fine animal was his pride.
Never, especially in later years, get
ting far from home, the domestic circle
and village people miss from the streets
an every day figure and the town a
valuable citizen. "The town has met
with great loss" has been a frequent
remark since his passing and those as
ISOLATED with him most closely in town
affairs say "He was always working
for the best interest of the town" as
he administered in various Offices. In
his last sickness he was planning work
which was to be attended to IN his
capacity as town law agent. He had
served many terms as lister, auditor,
etc, IA wears as selectman and in 1886
represented the town in the legislature,
He had been director OF the Montpelier
First National bank for six years and
the following persons from Montpelier
were present at the funeral: + A. Owl
nell. A. G. Eaton, f. A. Cory, A. G.
Ferrin. II, j. Volholm and l.. ID. Taft;
from Barre, belmont, Harley and Earl

skiing, skating and such sports Offer
splendid chances for development of the
body against disease, besides atfording
chance for sporting competitions that
are unsurpassed. Winter sports ought
to gain place in the three Vermont
colleges; in fact, they should gain a
place in the school life of the state.
High schools, academies and seminaries
might well enter into competition in
the great outdoors, instead of combining
their winter sports to the basketball
court or the gymnasium.

WHY THE DELAY IN DEPORTA-
TON?

The people of the United States are
interested in knowing what the hitch
is in the program for deporting aliens
who are found through antigovern
ment activity to be undesirable resi-
dents of the country. One shipload OF
these radicals have been deported and
are, supposedly, in the land of their
dreams, soviet Russia Another collec-
ton of undesirabes is gathered at the
various immigration stations, chiefly
Ellis Island, waiting for the disposal Of
their cases. Still further raids have
Just been made by means of which
many suspected reds of very radical
tendencies have been rounded up. Why
the delay in shipping the second batch
of the radicals? There has been plenty
of time in which to determine the fit
ness of these people to remain in the
United States, and, seemingly, there
has been time enough in which to find
out the disposition of soviet Russia
about receiving any more of the mall
contents following the arrival of Emma
Goldman and Alexander Berkman,
There is much about the matter which
the people of the United States would
like to learn.

An amendment to the constitution Of

An amendment to the constitution Of
the United States providing that the
vice president shall act as president in
case of the disability or incapaeity of
the president would be of little avail
unless that amendment should point
out the official or group of officials
should decide that the president was
incapable of carrying on the duties
Of his Office. The nation would be no
better off with such an amendment be
cause there would arise the question as
to who had the right 70 declare the
president incapable. To be complete
and to be effective, such an amendment
to the constitution of the United States
should have it distinctly stated who
shall have the authority to declare the
president incapable Of carrying on the
duties Of the office. When so framed,
the amendment would perhaps be ac.
ceptable to the legislatures of two
thirds of the states.
