Henry P. Dawson, who will preside
at the general council meeting Of the
league of Red Cross societies to omen
today at Geneva, is a former New York
banker who gave up his private inter
ests during the war to become head of
the war council Of the Red Cross of
the United States and to superintend
the relief and reconstruction work of
that organization in Europe. A Penn

LANES VALEDICTORY.

The report of Franklin K. Lane to
President Wilson on his retirement
from the cabinet and public life has
the virtue of being unusual. Possibly
1t may be suspected of usurpation of
the powers of the President as it is
one of the plainest sermons ever writ
ten to the present executive.
Mr.. Lane says as plainly as the Eng
lish language allows that the govern
ment is poorly organized for its tasks
and public servants are unwilling to
assume responsibility. g Everyone
seems to be afraid of everyone he
declares, and adds that self protection
IS abnormally developed while the ere
ative sense is atrophied. Trust, conf
dence and enthusiasm-ver necessary
qualities of any great undertaking-ar
lacking. He recommends giving pub
lie officials more discretion in the use
of public money, doubling the salaries
of the higher administrative officers
and placing more responsibility on them
for the work of the department so the
head could act merely as an advisor
and constructor of policies. He saws:
In word we need more opportunity
for planning, engineering statesman
ship above and more fixed authority
and responsibility below
INa do no+ vol p
a grounding cabinet'' merely. 1t is
more of a criticism of the system.
This Indictment of the system reveals
the size of the obstruction Mr.. Lane
has struck. He is up against the same
wall that many of the ablest Ameri.
cans failed to scale. The fact is no
American can plan and execute great
er conceptions than the American pub
nc can comprehend and approve
James G. Blaine was one of America S
great statesmen. He conceived the all
American plan and the development of
great commercial system to benefit
the United States. But Mr.. Blaine was
unable to make the common people I'M
derstand his plan and they elected him
from public life. Elihu Root is one of
the greatest Americans and has the
clearest conception of international op
portunities and responsibilities of any
man living but he never could win pub-
ne confidence to a degree that gave
hlm permanent political power. Realiz
ing the futility Of trying to go beyond
the knowledge and ideals of the general
public, no man in Washington dares to
scheme beyond what the folks at home
will approve. 1t does restrict individ |
ual development but it also raises the
standards of a nation, the real object
of the American republic

Three Good Vermonters.
Barre Times.

The three good Vermonters and true
who have announced their candidates.
for governor of the state have as vet
merely touched upon the features which
they propose to advocate in their cam
paigns for the nomination; and until
those platforms are set forth before the
people there will not, perhaps, be sharp
taking of sides among the people as
whole. 1t is recognized that all three are
fully up to the standard of recent
gubernatorial timber, and, therefore,
much may depend upon the principles
which they espouse. A candid and fairly
succlnct statement of what each man
stands for might serve to enable the
voters to size the men up, having III
mind, too, some of the personal qualitica-
lions of the men. In due time those
statements of principle may be looked for
from the three, as well as from any other
candidates for the Republican nomina-
ton, if such there are to be-

Vermont Beauty Spots.
bellows Falls Times

Vermont has an international repu-
tatlon for beauty of scenery. There is
not nook or corner of the state that
ism t beautiful in June and July when
spring blossoms into summer. There
are, however, spots, call them beauty
spots If you will, which are centers of
special attraction. One of these spots
IS the magnificent valley between Lud-
low and Woodstock, a valley which
bends among mighty mountains and is
MADE picturesque by brooks, rivers. and
lakes. Brldgewater lies at the foot of
Mount killington which vies with
Mansfield for the distinction of being
the highest peak in the state. Nearby
are Pico, Little Killington, Mendon and
others which are more than pimples ON
the face of mother earth. Between
Ludlow and Plymouth Black river rolls
imposing in flood time and not nm,
attractive when the August sun takes
ITS toll of moisture. Three lakes. Am
herst, Echo and Rescue, are known 10
thousands and each season become
more popular with summer visitors. The
shores of each are dotted with summer
cottages and the number is bound to
increase. The hotel at Tyson has been

Governor Clement S refusal of the
Republican state committee s request
for a special session of the legislature
to act on the federal suffrage amend
ment dashes all hope that Vermont
might be one of the SO states to parti
cipate in this distinctly forward step.
He says: "that the proposed federal
amendment does in fact tend to alter
and infringe the state constitution in
respect to suffrage and constitutes a
practical amendment thereof, +" but that
IN our opinion is not valid reason for
ms action. Regardless of Vermont s
constitution, suffrage win come into op-
Grafton when SO states have ratified the
proposed federal amendment, and SO the
technical question he raises is in reali-
ty an imaginary one.

Mr.. Clements Decision.
(St. Adams Messenger. J

Governor Clement s refusal to call
a special session of the legislature has
killed all hopes that Republican Yer
mont might function in a timely way
so far as ratifying the woman suffrage
amendment to the federal constitution
is concerned. The responsible central
committee of the party unanimously re-
quested the governor to issue the
call, but Mr.. Clement was strong
enough in his personal conviction to re
sist the pressure. The Messenger be
lieves that the chief executive has made
mistake in refusing to listen to the
organic advice of the party. At any
rate, the responsibility is fixed. The
Republicans of Vermont, speaking
through their duly elected state com
mittee, made plain their position They
did all that they could in the circum-
stances. 1t is not the rank and file of
Republicans who are making Vermont :
ratification impossible.

Hats That Afford Protection.

The natives of the Philippines and
South Sea islands wear large sun hats
as protection from the heat. Palm
ieaves of various kinds furnish the
material generally used, but the shapes
diiter. Some are woven fiat and some
with peak. The commonest form in
the philippines is made of palm leaves
covered with cane, a cane bandeau Civ
ing an air space above the head. The
ornamentation of these hats is very
simple; no colors are used with the ex-
ception of brown, which is occasionally
introduced in the use of hemp.-Asia

A news item from Montpelier says
that at the last meeting of the city
council of that place, the time was
mostly occupied in discussing the mer-
its of certain patent medicine which
states on its label that it contains IS
per cent of alcohol. Just what the dis
cussion was for is not known but the
item further states that the water com
mittee was authorized to act in certain
matters.

A Menace.

Snow laden roofs are menace
throughout New England at the pres
ent time. Lynn has sustained heavy
losses on two properties recently as
the result of roofs collapsing, but the
worst disaster Of the kind is reported
from Walpole, \. H., where the entire
Unitarian church went down in a
mass of ruins, including the steeple
which lowered loo feet above the roof
and carried as its face toward the
street the town clock Crushed in the
deris is a pipe organ valued at sew
eral thousand dollars and the total loss
is figured at 100000. Walpole is a
small country village and it viii be
difficult to replace the edifce unless
the summer residents come to the aid
of the townsmen.

In the st. Johnsbury news we read
that last week white sugar was bought
in that town at %, 20, II, IS and Is
cents pound, the price seeming to be
dependent upon the place and time Of
purchase. The Barre Times thinks such
a variation in price is nothing short of
remarkable, but ism t such a state of
affairs in most cases merely the reflec-
ton of the rise and fall of the sugar
market? So close is the production to
the demand that there is no chance for
prices to settle to level. The dealer
buys all he can at the price asked at
that time and adds his legitimate pro-
fit. When there is sugar enough and
little left over things will get back to
normal again.
