William Jennings Bryan seems to
have scored in announcing his opposi-
tion to America s accepting an Armen-
ian mandate. Most Americans will
agree with him that such a mandate
would involve us in an enormous ex-
penditure in time when war taxation
is still so grievous burden that con
gross has difficulty in finding the money
necessary to do justice to the men who
served in the World war. 1t would in
volve us in the politics of Europe and
would compel us to deal with impla-
cable race hatred The fact is the
nations that were at war with Turkey
have taken all portions of the Turkish
empire that will be of commercial
and military value to them and propose
to throw down the bones of Armenia
for rough and tumble fight between
America and Turkey. Americans are
wise enough not to enter into such a
scramble.

REVIVE THE BEECH SEAL

1t would seem as though it is about
time for the Green Mountain bows to
reorganize for the protection of the
rights of Vermont against outsiders
The Selling of the Vermont fishing H.
censes by New Hampshire officials at
Bellows Falls is quite as serious an out
rage of Vermont rights as the visits
of New York officials to the early set
tiers of the state. The Green Mountain
Boys of those days applied the beech
seal to the backs of the New York
marauders so effectively the invasions
were discontinued. The next New
Hampshire warden who invades Yer
mont territory to commit official out
rage on Vermont citizen should be
given dose of this ancient remedy
for outside greed.
Probably no other state in the union
has had an experience similar to Yer
mont in maintaining its territory.
When Vermont set itself up as an in
dependent republic it had to deal with
New Hampshire claimants on its eastern
boundary and with New Workers on the
west. An agreement that the Connect
ieut river should be the boundary be-
tween Vermont and New Hampshire
was made without much DELAY but
New York for many years refused to
recognize Vermont jurisdiction and was
submitted to some humiliating exper-
fences by the Green Mountain Bows.
When the boundary between the two
states was finally agreed upon the New
Workers respected it and have since oh.
served it.
New Hampshire on the contrary has
ignored its agreement with Vermont and
attempted encroachment in different
ways compelling the state of Vermont
to continually fight for its territory.
The matter is coming before the
supreme court for adjudication but
New Hampshire officials continue
to invade Vermont territory and har
rass its citizens. 1t would seem as
though il is time for the citizens of
Vermont to organize some fishing par
ties on the west shore of the Connec-
ticut river who should become "fishers
of men 'Gn the form of New Hamp
shire bandits) and give these invaders
a good stiff course in natural history
with a Vermont beech twg.

Members of the state federation of
Massachusetts women 5 clubs which
met recently pledged themselves to buy
as little as possible of food, clothing
and gasoline, but small controversy
developed when it was proposed also to
eliminate to large extent ice-cream
and candy. If these were not finally
included in the list the youngsters of
the various families represented by
these women will think that mother
was indeed wise in her generation.

Inclined to Speed.
Greenfield Courier.

While large percentage of motor acci
dents in which pedestrians are injured
is largely the fault of the pedestrians
themselves there. is a strong feeling that
many. motorists drive too fast through
the streets. There is the constant dan
ger of persons stepping out from behind
a car or onto crosswalks in such man
ner that car driven at a high rate of
speed IS pretty sure to either strike the
person or run into something else in the
effort to avoid it. 1t is hard to define a
reasonable speed to drive a ear through
the town streets for it is safer with
some. drivers going at % miles an hour
than it is with others going II or Is, but
there should be some limit and speeders
should be made to realize the fact. On
the other hand, pedestrians should follow

Again an automobile truck has
crashed through bridge in the state,
this time in Wheelock, and it shows
once more that many Vermont bridges
were not built to withstand the strain
of such weight. Some of them are
ancient structures which are likely to
develop weak points any moment Good
substantial bridges are needed for our
new transportation methods.
