there is in the argument of those who
insist on program of so-cOlled pre-
paredness." But as soon as one nation
makes large outlay of arms and bat
tleships, other nations Immediately do
likewise. No one nation, consequently,
is in a stronger position relative to
the others than 1t was before.
Not only do ornaments not afford
security, but the yactually create IN
security for the competition in arma-
ments creates an atmosphere of sus-
picion, distruct and rival scheming,
which is the most subtle foe to peace
and safety. For national security we
need more than anything else the good
will and mutual confidence which are
now being undermined by rival arma-
ments.
Lore than this, it is not too much
to say that the expenditure of vast
SUNS upon army an dnavy actually
weakens the defensive power of
nat ION, for, in day when ware are
wased not by armies but by whole
peoples the defensive power of the ma
ton lies in its economis resources.
The rea strength fthe nation is be-
ing drained, not added to, by an ex-
penditure upon armament which has
constantly to be replaced.
1t would appear, therefore, that
when the question of security is real
ly scrutinized, general reduction of
ornaments on the part of the nations
would lessen the safety of none and
add to the vital resources af all. For
the maintenance of internal order, a
small army will be necessary, but no
good purpose is served by the COM
petitive ornaments of the present
day.

The trotting schedule will begin on
Tuesday, Oct. 4, and continue each
day of the Fair except Friday, when
the whole day will be given up to
auto racing and auto polo. In the
racing schedule there are large
strings of horses and each event
shows a big list of entries. There
will be some of the best horses in
New England in the events.
Wherever auto polo has been seen
this season it has attracted large
gatherings. 1t is said to be the most
hazardous sport of the period and as
the game is played directly in front
of the grandstands and on the track
spectators will have the opportunity
of witnessing every feature of the
game.
The cattle entries, which will be
large, will show herds from several
states and from the stables of many
famous breeders.
The policy of the management this
season will be to issue no return
checks, and for this reason every
patron coming by auto is requested
to park his machine in the parkings
within the grounds.
The eating facilities will be found
to be the best. The restaurants have
been arranged to feed a greater num-
Der of people than heretofore and
chefs have been engaged who are
accustomed to taking care of large
crowds.

Dorothy Dix not long ago
changed the usual advice to the
Young into little advice to the
old. 1t has been the custom to
teach the young that they must
be courteous to the old, con-
siderate of their wishes and kind
ly in their acts. There is no dis
position to chance this advice
but the lady in question says
that the old have some duties to
the young. They often feel that
they can be exacting, disagree
able, indulging in whims and
notions until a saint couldn't
live comfortably and then expect
the young to show them all the
consideration in the world. She
says that housewives with the
coming of age feel privileged to
give all kinds of advice and feel
grieved if it isn't taken by the
Young housewife when the old
lady never half kept house her
self in her young days and does
not know the first principles of
scientific housekeeping and that
some old men who never did
make a success of their own
business and are living on the
charity of relatives give coolies
of advice to the young men on
how to shape their lives. Then
there are the old people, whom
everybody loves to be with and
to do for and it doesn't take any
prodding mother to make the
youngsters polite.

Murmurings of coming politl-
cal fights are heard in the au-
tumn leaves and about the au-
tumn fires, it would seem from
rumors which float about. One
of the mooted questions is re-
garding the reapportionment OF
congressional representation
which may make Vermont a
single congressional district. 1t
is conceded by many who are
politically wise and by many
more who have watched the con-
gressional career of Frank l.
Greene that he will don the toga
when Senator Page retires, so
there will be but one congress
man serving should our represen-
tation be cut in two. Possibly
Vermont would apply the noun
tain rule to this situation as 1T
has long been the custom with
gubernatorial elections, perhaps
with an understanding OF the
number of terms each represen-
tative should serve, or would 1t
be a free for all, every two

HEROES IN PEACE
AND IN WAR

The term evolution is used with
increasing frequency. Nowhere is it
more apt in application than in de-
scribing the affairs of the veterans
of the world war. Four million men
are working in common cause, un-
der a common bond of fraternal
relations and to a given end which
must bring proper recognition by
the country at large of vital SER
vices rendered to the worlds great
est nation in time of stress.
Three years have passed since the
cessation Of hostilities, yet many of
the boys, uprooted from the en-
vironment to which they were ac-
customed, have still to ''find them
selves" It is very hard indeed for
the man or woman, unfamiliar with
the transition of character that oc-
ours when men are introduced into
new roles, to appreciate the tasks
that confronted the millions of
young men who stepped out from
the ranks of the military three years
ago and sought to re-establish them
selves in civilian roles.
Their job of the moment is no
easier than it would be for the pro-
fessional man to drop down into
the scale Of laborer and make good
at an occupation for which he had
received no training. Two years of
military service will suffice in most
any instance to kill adeptness for
civilian duty and disqualifies in a
pronounced sense all but the most
versatile.
We have heard a lot about the
heroes of this country's wars with
never a thought for the heroism
that attends when men lay down
their guns and go back to the tasks
virtually forgotten in favor of "for-
ward march," As the great organi-
zation, that is destined to count
within its membership every war
veteran in the United States, grows,
and a community of purpose is es-
tablished, the people of the United
States are certain to see a powerful
voting body that should put forward
demands in moderation and in keep
ing with the nations ability to meet
them.
Let no man fool himself into be-
lieving that these demands will 60
