Must Protect Property.


While there may be lack of diplO-
macy and no attempt made at diScre-
ton in speech or writing upon the part
of President =. L. Dodge of the Inter
national Paper company in replying to
4 telegrom received from citizens of
I, Walpole, NJ H., and Bellows Falls,
asking that the differences between
the company and striking papermakers
be adjusted by arbitration, the attitude
of the company is bound to appeal to
thousands of citizens in both states who
are sufficiently removed from the scene
of the strike to have no personal interest
in the matter.
Beyond the question of arbitration
goes President Dodge and in doing so he
cOnfrontS the citizens of both towns con
cerned with the self-evident fact that
upon them devolvcS the responsibility
of protecting the property of their tax
payers. probably in this instance their
heaviest taxpayer.
The telegram sent by President Dodge
to DIR. John 7. Rudden of Bellows Falls.
representing the citizens committee of
that village and the adjoining village of
North Walpole, y. H.. across the Con
necticut river. contains a sentence which
though couchcd in the frankest terms
that can be found in the English Ian
guage, must not be taken as Indicative of
fighting blood but rather that to be found
in the veins of the executive of a big cor
poratlon upon whom deyOlyeS the respon-
sibility of keeping mp production. The
telegram contains the following sen
fence:
We are entitled to the protection of
our property and employees, and we will
have it at any cost if there is any law
in this land to protect us"
The citizens of the towns in which
the company has its plants need not be
told in any stronger terms that it is up
10 them to protect the property within
its borders. There is nothing to be adj
vanced in the way of argument against
the statement made by President Dodge
that his company is entitled to have its
property protected. He goes further in
his telegram to DR. Ridden and says:
please take notice that we will hold
your city and the officials and all the
men who break the peace or disturb our
business legally responsible to the limit"

merits of the case or attempting to dis

strong black object that suddenly
doomed i'm her path. Officers at the
fort said it was only by chance that
this gun was not fired.
