The Honor System" Applied.

Being German war criminal has
become one of the safest occupations
in this otherwise uncertain world. Hol.
land is to keep the ex kaiser informed
under guard. As matter of fact that
is exactly what unstrung, old William
Hohenzolern would probably like best
There are excellent reasons why he
should desire to remain where he is. He
picked Holland as safe place a year
and half ago, when a quick decision
was important. As for the guards, they
will keep him in but they will also
prevent unwelcome visitors. He will
thus be protected from vengeful per-
sons who might attempt to put arsenic
into his tea or stick knife between
his ribs.
The other war-criminals are to be
tried, according to the latest plans, un-
der circumstances which free them from
apprehension. The court is to hold its
sessions at Leipsic. Judge, jury, dis
trict attorney and bailiff are to be Ger
mans, selected by the present moder.
ate German government.
In spite Of the reservations which
the fire-eaters in London Paris and
Rome have made in asserting to the
arrangement, it seems possible that a
German judge may find the evidence in
sufficient, the attorney for the prose
cution may move for acquittal the
Jury may chang" The only certainty
appears to be that the prisoners will
not hang, but will live long and pros

The days of the sugar cake are mum
bered in Vermont if the ruling of the
internal revenue officials is upheld, that
all such cakes, whether surmounted
with nut meats or not, are subject to a
federal tax of per cent providing the
cakes are placed on the market for sale.
The plain little sugar cake without
even a scalloped edge comes under the
ruling of the revenue officials, and it
must be subject to the per cent tax.
1t looks like case of stretching the
Imagination quite bit to place a lump
of maple sugar in the same classified

CURRENT COMMENT
Special Advertising of Vermont
Products.

The Rutland Herald calls attention
to the advantages and increased sales
brought about by the wholesale adver'
tising of some especial brand, as in the
case Of the citrus fruits packed and
exploited by California dealers, as well
as the western apples. As The Herald
says, if the Vermont apple growers
would adopt some such plan and sell
their product under some suitable and
widely advertised name, as do these
other fruit growers, the Vermont APP
pie would soon be considered as great
delicacy in the city markets as our
maple sugar. Brattleboro Reformer

One evidence of the lack of govern
mental capacity of the soviets in Rus
STA is afforded by the announcement
that in the northern districts of the
former empire spotted and typhus fever
are raging, there being no less than
10000 cases of the two diseases in some
of the northern states. This situation,
coming several years after the soviets
took control of the affairs at Moscow
and Petrograd, is poor commentary
on their capacity to rule people, how.
ever well they may keep a stiff grasp
on the strong box of the people.

 <ogaIes, Arizona. Jan. g. 1920. Phoenix National Life Insurance
 Co.
 302 N. Central Avenue. Phoenix. Arizona. Gentlemen:-
 The reason why l came in as one of the original subscribers of the Phoenix National Life In- surance Company was to help establish in this great Common wealth of Arizona an enterprise, the want of which has been felt for long time. I read many times with tiismay the great amount of money paid by the people of Arizona for life insur- ance policies in foreign com panies. and I could see no req son why the vast sums of money so paid to foreign insurance compa anies should not be retained at home. or at least a goodly portion of it, swith which to fur : ther help to develop the vast natural resources of Arizona. So, when MT. J. H. O'Rielly put up the proposition to me, l readily consented to become one of its stockholders.
 I verify believe that our Com pany, under the able direction of so experienced a life insurance man as Mr.. O'Rfelly, will. at no distant future, become one of the strong pillars of the great state of Arizona's financial institu- tiOnS.
 You may rest assured that l shall do everything in my power to boost our Company, not only in our own state, but also out side of Arizona

SKATERS
ON TIDAL BASIN
First Ice Carnival Here in
Two Years Attracts

More than 1000 skaters thronged the
Tidal Basin last night in the first
ice skating carnival Washington has
known in two years,
Bathed in a food of moonlight the
large artificial lake. dotted with the
moving forms of skaters, presented a
picturesque scene.
At an early hour. the hundreds Of
pairs of skates that Gordon Leech,
superintendent Of Tidal Basin Bathing

had procured from New York, were
exhausted (at 20 cents an bour) and

victory in a similar contest for wom-

Entrance to the basin was at a
point where Seventeenth street runs
into the basin on the north side. Here
a guard permitted no one on the ice
without skates.
The safety section of the basin was
lined of with ropes and red lights
were placed at danserous points. A
special detail of guards, under Col.
c. S. Ridley. superintendent of pub
lie buildings and grounds. kept the
skaters moving to prevent their con-
gregating and the resulting danger
of breaking through.
Park policemen doing duty on skates
presented an unusual sight.
There were falls aplenty, but no
| serious injuries were reported.
A line several hundred feet long
waiting for an opportunity to hire
skates was maintained for several
hours.
