BASIS FOR COMPROMISE.

There is hope of compromise on
the reservations to the treaty Of peace
that were endorsed under the leader
ship Of Senator Lodge, II being re
ported from Washington that thirty
Democrats are ready to compromise
and thirty-five Republicans also ready
TO yield on the reservations. If n plan
satisfactory to these sixty-five senator's
can be agreed upon settlement of the
treaty question should be sudden. Here
are some changes said to be favored
that seem sensible and possible basis
for settlement.
The reservation requiring the assent
of three of the principal allied nations
to the reservations is stricken out
Withdrawal from the league is TO be
by joint resolution requiring the sig
nature of the President rather than by
concurrent resolution which did not re-
quire the President s signature The
reservation to the famous Article X is
changed SO this country win not use
its naval or military forces to protect
nations "until congress, which under
the constitution has sole power to de-
clare war or authorize the employment
of the military or naval forces OF the
United States, shall by act or joint res
olution so PROVIDE This country Is
| left at liberty to use its diplomatic
powers to protect other nations, the
same as it has done in the past. The
United States will not submit to arbi-
tration or inquiry by the league any
questions relating to or depending on
the Monroe Doctrine: "said doctrine
is hereby declared to be wholly outside
the jurisdiction of said league of ma
tions and entirely unaffected by any
provisions contained in the said treaty
Of peace with Germany
| Those are the main changes, al
though there are other important ones.
But they do not give away any vital
rights of the American people. We
submit that the fixing of the right to
withdraw from the league, to use the
military and naval forces of the coun-
try only by authority of congress and
the removal of the Monroe Doctrine
from possible interference of foreign
powers amply protects the American
people. All the other concessions this
country is asked to make form reas-
enable compensation for the permanent
peace the league hopes to secure. There
should be little haggling over the sit
uation The senate should modify the
reservations, ratify the treaty and
send it to President Wilson to accept
or reject. Should he reject it, he would
forfeit the respect of the foreign ma
tions with whom he negotiated the
| treaty and the American people who
have ratified it.

1t will seem to many of us that
States Attorney Phelps of Rutland
county was only asking justice when
he recommended to the court last week
that three chicken thieves have the
maximum penalty imposed. "The
theft of mans chickens" says Mr..
Phelps, lis one of the most contempt
ible tricks in the category of thief
in my opinion. In this era of high cost
of living man who attempts to have
fresh egg or two now and then is
entitled to protection.

The Responsibility of the Census Maj
Bennington Banne,

bennington BannerI
We hope the Bennington census enum-
orators realize the responsibility that
rests on them to see that no person es-
capes. Brattleboro, st. Johnsbury
Montpelier and Springfield each has a
lively ambition to win the rank now
held by Bennington as the largest town
in the state, not counting the cities OF
burlington, Rutland and Barre, whose
area does not include any considerable
farm territory. Brattleboro and st
Johnsbury are supposedly our most dan
gerous rivals with Springfield fast clos
ing up the gap and Rockingham and Col
chester not SO far behind as to be out OF
hearing. Twenty years ago Bennington
took the honors away from st. Johnsbury
and Brattleboro and they are straiuing
every nerve to win this years count
Taking the census in midwinter Is un
fortunate to Bennington as practically
none of our summer colony are here
though a considerable part of them are
voters and legal residents, but absent
three or four months, during the winter
Not only are they gone but, they hav'
taken many employees with them. Ii
spite of this drawback The Banner be
lieves that Bennington has nearly
thousand more people than either Brat
| tleboro or st. Johnsbry if the coun
made by the enumerators is full and ac
