THE DAY WHEN THE PEOPLE
HAVE THEIR SAY.

Vermont's little republics are get
ting ready for their annual get togeth-
er next week, when the dest'nies OF
the town for the ensuing year will in
part be determined. The problems
which will come up for solution at the
annual March meetin' are many and
varied, and most of them are concerned
with the vital affairs of community
and official life. 1t is most interesting
to read the warnings issued for the
meetings in the various towns and to
note the multiplicity of the matters
which are to come up, as well as to
learn the peculiarly local situations
which must be met Many OF the
warnings carry articles running INTO
the score or more, the programs lndi'
eating that there are some interesting
times in immediate prospect for the
voters when they take their one splen-
did opportunity of the year to make
known their desires and their dlsllkes,
These town meetin's are most impor-
tant, and they one and ali merit the
large attendance which generally turns
out to transact the towns business.
Nav the citizens of the little "repub-
lies appreciate the Importance OF their
presence next Tuesday and may the
affairs of the towns be transacted as
the real majority of the citizens Of the
towns wish. That real majority will
make itself heard only unless the vot'
ers take it upon themselves to attend
There will be only a hollow vote on
license or no license, so that incentive
will be lacking; but there will be plen-
ty of other matters to demand Their
attention and their vote,

The Freight Car Shortage.

Freight cars simply do not exist in
sufficient numbers to 90 around. They
are lacking for exactly the same rea'
son that keeps housing from being UP
10 requirements During the war, new
houses and new railroad cars did not
receive their proportionate share OF At
tention. Our railroad administration
acknowledges that acquisition Of
freight cars during federal control was
less than under private control, and
that none at all were ordered IN l9io.
Even if there were adequate equip
ment in cars, it would be tested; traf'
fic is heavy. The railroad administra
ton announced that a week in Jan.
uary, 1920, showed 1862 600 more ears
of freight loaded than the correspond
ing week in 1919, and $4,000 more than
for the corresponding week in 1918. At
the same time there was prospect OF
still heavier traffic in February and
March.
Scarcity in freight cars is world
wide condition Germany, Austria
France, and England join us in longing
for freight cars. In England the rail
way wagon shortage is one Of the real
themes of the hour among business
men, and it seems likely that demur-
rage rates will be assessed as high as
81 90 a day for folk who detain q
freight car of special type.
As for ourselves, the immediate pros
pect is for congressional investiga
tion. 1t will be interesting to see
which viii be the more efiieacious in
making freight cars available,-a heavy
demurrage levy or an investigation =

That Boundary Dispute.


Rumor has il that Gov. Clement Of
Vermont and Gov Bartlett OF New
Hampshire in conference at Ports
mouth, N. H., recently came to an un-
Outstanding over the boundary dispute
between the two states and that as the
result of that understanding there Is
feeling here lin Concord, n H. that
not much more will be heard about that
suit and that the Connecticut river as
far as high water mark on the west
bank will remain within the lurisdic-
ton of New Hampshire" OF course
the public of Vermont will hear about
the result of the conference to the eX-
tent of being informed what disposal
has been recommended in connection
with the matter The rumor from Con
cord does not, we fancy, indicate that
The matter has been given quietus
and that no official report will be made.

"Cannot Be Executed"

The treaty with Germany is already
under attack everywhere, and 1t IS gen
orally admitted that it cannot be ex,
ecuted in the form in which it was
ratified. The clauses that are break
ing down are the clauses that the pres.
ident opposed and on which he felt he
was obliged to yield in order to reach
an agreement.
There is nothing to be gained by
going through that procedure again, at
least SO far as the United States Is
concerned. If the allied government
had adhered TO the general principles
of peace that they accepted when they
framed the armistice, there would have
been no Fiume crisis, The way to in
sure permanent peace in Europe is to

Urges More Pay for Newport Teachers.

Whether the teachers of Newport
struck for higher wages, or only asked
for raise, leaving all to the discre-
ton of the school board, and with no
intention of resigning is immaterial
The fact remains that all teachers are
not paid the salaries they deserve. 1t
takes wears and costs money to fit
ones self for the position of teacher
and more especially where the higher
branches are taught. When a common
day laborer with no previous training
or study can step out and get three
times the daily wage of teacher in
any department of our schools it is a
sad knock against education no mat
ter how you look at it. Pay the teach
ers the salaries they deserve and there
will not be a dearth of them and they
will be more encouraged to rise to a
higher plane.-Newport Express and

The fire in the home for aged women
in Lynn, Mass, may reveal conditions
which would not have been expected in
a city Of the pretensions of Lynn. A
reading of the newspaper reports of
the fire, in which four Of the aged in

that the means for getting out Of the
structure were wholly inadequate TO
meet the needs of the more than a
score of occupants. Undoubtedly there
are other cases quite similar to that to
be found in many cities Of the country.
