THE "HERO STUFF

Quoth one of the three United States
naval balloonists returning to Rock
away, n. Y; This hero stuff is all
bunk Spoken like a man, Lieuten-
ant Kloor The fact is, the public has
gone almost daft over this incident,
in which naval balloon containing
three men started out on a so.ealled
endurance test, was swept northward
by strong wind and the ballonists
decided to come down when they
thought the limit of safety was
reached; thereafter finding consid
cradle difficulty in traversing the
need for the arduous work. At
length the men got out of the woods
safely and came across camp of trap
pers, from which they came southwark
into the more inhabited regions. II was
trying experience, no doubt. But
the men were more or less sturdy and
were gifted with fair degree of in
telligence, at least, so that they car
ried themselves through without seri-
GUS mishap except loss of temper by
two of Them. Naturally, there is much
pleasure and not little rejoicing that
the three men were enabled TO come
back to their families and 10 their
usual routine of life. However, there
was no hero work DONE II anything,
IL was battle for -preservation-
and far less battle than many
man has fought, and nothing said
about 1t. Yet the three men come back
home and they are fairly smothered
with the hero-worshipping, thrilllov-
ing American public Now Lieutenant
Kloor comes forth and proceeds to put
a damper on the hero building. "This
hero stuff is all bunk" he Is reported
to have declared with some show of
disgust. Therefore, let the excitement
subside and the incident take It's prop
er place in the chronicle Of events. |
Only, next time, Lieutenant Kloor, be |
sure you carry some weapons with |
which to kill wild game, and provi-
sions enough for a normal cruise.

Austria Quits.

tion over 10 the allies IL they care TO
accept the responsibility. II is prac-
tieally an application for receiver

times acted as receivers for backward
small countries in outlying regions,
there is no precedent for such com
plete surrender by an important and
highly civilized nation. Nothing more
portentous than this has happened
since the srmistice, and IL emphasizes
the urgent need of making the econom-
ic rehabilitation of Europe the para

gloomy case is seen in a report that
negotiations are TO begin for economic

CURRENT COMMENT
vermont's Invigorating Climate.

There may be milder weather in 9th
er parts of the country than Vermont is
experiencing this winter, but there can
be none anywhere more invigorating or
health giving, or more thoroughly en-
loyable to red blooded people. The snap
and tang of clear zero morning beats
all the soft zephyrs of the tropics for
restoring natures equilibrium. Time
will come when people seeking health
and the fountain of youth will head to-
ward Vermont in the winter. One half
of the big boiler made by some other
sections with less to holler about would
turn attention this way. There is no
place where one can be SO comfortable
the year round as right here in old
Vermont. The best winter weather can
not be surpassed elsewhere as a health
and vigor giver. The poor Weather
and they have that everywhere despite
what they say and advertise--can be
tempered by suitable clothing and com
Portable homes. And when the good old
summer comes well, they all yield us
the palm then. Randolph Herald and

vermont's New Governor.

complete and far.reaching campaign Of
publicity as was ever planned in the
Green mountain state. Lynn Hays and

Messenger did the trick But as in
all campaigns of advertising unless
there is something good to advertise,
the whole thing falls fat. But Hart

he Hartness is an idealist He has
imagination and he has ideas-ideas
that have grown into convictions in his
mind. Ideas that will surely make
for the uplift of the state In many
respects he is like Governor Miller
And if there is anything more hope
full in civic and state politics this year
than the election Of Miller in New
York and Hartness in Vermont we
have yet to see it,
Mr.. Hardness is an inventor. He is
also practical business man. But we
still think the best thing about him
is his ideals. One can get somewhere
with ideals--espeeially those OF man
of ripe age and large experience in Gf
fairs Of life.
The governor knows the needs Of the
farmer. of the wage Garner. of the in
and business interests and he
has had practical experience on the
state board of education. He favors
water power development. improved
schools, better marketing facilities-in
fact he knows the needs of the com.
thoroughly.

The committee appointed at the 1915
session of the Vermont legislature to
propose amendments to the state con.
stitution has completed its duties and
presented its report The majority OF
the committee proposes nine amend
ments while the minority submits three
The nine majority amendments are
briefly a. follows:
Proposal ! would amend section "a
of chapter two, providing that every
person 81 years old instead of every
man" shall be qualified as legal vot
er, after taking the proper oath This
section makes the state constitution
conform to the 10th amendment of the
federal constitution.
Proposal 2, would amend section two
of chapter two, providing for the veto of
bills by the governor and their subse.
quent reconsideration. The purpose Of
this proposed amendment Is to give the
governor what is known as the ''item
veto" which would allow him TO veto
certain sections of an appropriation
measure without vetoing the entire
measure.
Proposal 3, provides for the election
Of, representatives by towns by giving
the general assembly power TO regu-
late by law the mode OF filing all va
cancies in the House caused by death
resignation or otherwise.
Proposal deals with trials by jury
If adopted il would except cases re-
quiring an accounting with numerous
items"
Proposal would amend article X
of chapter one, defining the right of
an accused criminal on count such as
would naturally call for trial by jury
The proposed amendment would give
him the privilege of waving q jury
trial and submitting his case directly to
the court.
Proposal G would provide for the re-
oording of deeds and conyeyances Of
land through act of the legislature in.
stead OF requiring that they be filed in
the office of the town clerk of county
clerk This amendment is proposed in
with the great difficulty ex-
perienced by railroads and other cor.
porations in filing deeds and convey
ances within the state under the pres
emit law
Proposal would restore the bien-
nial election TO September and the !
opening of the legislature to October
Proposal s is for new amendment
which would give the public service
commission the power of court at law
n matters properly under its jursdic-
ion.
Proposal 0 would add new section /
20 be known as section STA and pro-
riding that the general assembly shall

iory voting at elections.

sections of chapter two. which, if
adopted, would do away with the as.
sistant judges Of county courts as con
stitutional officers.
Proposal provides for the appor
tionment of senators in counties by di-
yiding the state into 80 senatorial dis
tricts as nearly equal in population as
practicable, the first division to be
made upon the basis Of the 1920 census
and the new division to be made into
senatorial districts after the taking of
each United States census.
