in freight rates would not increase the
movement, +. B. Houghton, freight
traffic manager for the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe Railroad, testified to-

The witness denied charges by repre-
sentatives of twenty state railroad
commissions that rates on grain and
hay were unreasonable as CONF pared
with rates on other commodities and
exhibited figures showing that the rev

loaded car of grain one mile was SO

John Wallace Riddle, who is reported
to be slated for appointment as ambas-
sador to Argentina, has had a long and
varied career in the United States dip
lomatic service. As long ago as 1898 he
entered the service as secretary of the
legation to Turkey. Seven years at Con-
stantinople was followed by two years as
secretary of the legation to Russia. From
the Russian capital he was transferred
to Egypt and in 1905 he was promoted
to the post of minister to Roumania and
Serbia His last post in the diplomatic
service was as ambassador to Russia,
which he held from 1906 to 1909 Mr..
Riddle is a native of Philadelphia and a
graduate of Harvard. For three years
he attended the Columbia Law School
and then went abroad to study internal
tional law, history and diplomacy. Since
his retirement from the diplomatic sery-
ice he has resided in ST. Paul.

REPARATION.

German soldiers, directed by allied of
icers, have just finished the Herculean
task of demOlishing all the Notifications
of Heligoland, the mighty fortress in the
North Sea that the allies found impreg
nable.
German soldiers, working under French
engineers, have set about the reconstruc
tion of ruined cities in the war zone of
northern France. They are lent by the
German government for this labor. and
draw their pay from Germany. Their
work is credited to the German repara-
tions account.
France is accepting German materials
for construction, as we'll as German la
Dor. and crediting it likewise as part of
the German indemnity.
All this constitutes the best kind of rep
PREPARATION. 1t is appropriate morally
and economically. The Germans are I'M
doing their war work with their own
hands, and the lesson cannot but sink
home to them and to all others who have
dreamed of aggression or may dream of
it now and hereafter. And they are pay
ing their war obligations in the only way
they can pay them now, and in the one
way that does not invite German ruin
and the incidental ruin of Germany's
creditors.
1t is about time that it was recognized
more generally that the bulk of interna-
tional war debts will have to be paid in
this way-not in gold, but in labor and
goods-if they are paid at all in time to
DO the present generation any good.

THE ANTI-BEER BILL.

''The battle of beer will end in the SEN
ate on Nov. 49," writes a Washington
correspondent On that date the senate
will vote on the "anti-beer bill" 1t is
expected to pass with a safe majority.
The public seems reconciled to such
disposition of the matter. Or rather, the
public seems determined on it. Con-
gress merely echoes that feeling and
makes it official.
Such a law is in itself a pretty con-
vincing answer to critics who maintain
that the sentiment of the country is not
really dry" and who seek to give the
impression that the whole nation spends
most of its waking hours in a quest for
booze. Beer is the least Objectionable
form of intoxicating liquor, and if a ma
jOrity of the people wanted liquor at all
they would want beer, and if they wanted
beer congress would not dare to refuse it.,
whether for medicinal purposes or as
an undisguised beverage.
As for the medicinal" argument, fer
seem to take it seriously. 1t is generally
held that whatever really curative effects
there may be in beer will be found in it
Just the same if its alcoholic content is
kept down to the yoIstead percentage.
.Near-beer' will be available as usual.
Beer of pre-prohibition strength would
inevitably have led to many abuses if
sold as medicine. If such beer is ever to
come back, it had better come without
any camoufage.

The Attorney Generalship.
bennington Banner.

Since the Office of attorney general was
established in Vermont in 1904, no one
has held the place over four years. The
late Clarke c. Fits set the precedent by
declining a reelection at the end of two
terms and his successors have followed
his example. Frank c. Archibald, the
present attorney general, is in the midst
of his second term and some people are
beginning to wonder who will take his
place should he decline to run again next
year. There is every reason to believe
that he can be reelected if he desires it
but if he shouldn't so desire it probably
will not be impossible to fill the place.
One of those who is suspected of perhaps
being willing to be candidate is ]. Rolfe
Searles of st. Johnsbury, a well-known
lawyer of that part of the state and
former chairman of the, Republican state
committee. All the Vermont attorney
generals have been from the southern
counties except the late Rufus f. Brown
of Burlington. Not once has the office
been filled from the whole northeast part
of the state. The geography argument is
calculated to help Mr.. Searles a little.
Also he is competent man with a wide
circle of friends. 1t is to be doubted,
however, if he will have the field to him
self.

The Red Cross annual roll call began
on Armistice day and continues for two
weeks This is the period in which the
great society for relief makes its yearly
appeal for funds. There should be little
need to advertise the cause. What the
Red Cross has done, and what it keeps
right on doing every day in the year are
well known to the people of America and
to all the world. 1t may be that because
of the hard times there will be temp
tation to forego subscriptions even to this
popular and most deserving society, but
a moments consideration should be
enough TO alter any such frame of mind.

The Call OF the Hills.

We didn't stop for frills;

And we're off upon the hills.
We went straight up the prominence
The highest one in town:
BY noon we'd reached the summit
And were resting looking down.
"See that round hill over yonder,
Right over that old lane?
One hundred years ago there
Stood the village of Newfane.
That one is up in Marlboro;
Long ago twas named Hogback,
And that one in the distance
Is the sentinel-Old Haystack.
Over in New Hampshire
In line with that black rock.
On the farther range of mountains
Looms up Monadnock.
And Just beyond that tall tree,
The one that stands alone.
You see the South Branch valley
And in it lies our home.
If you're a true VermOnter
Through your breast twill send thrill
When you look upon the splendor
OF old West Putney hill.
There's StrattOn hill and Deer hill
And Cook hill on the south;
Hills sall along the valley
Till you reach West rivers mouth
Our hills are steep, our valleys deep;
We've not much level land;
But twas grand inspiring scenery
That Mother Nature planned.
The West may have its prairieS.
For some they may bring thrills;
But for uplift, inspiration,
Give us NermontS green hills.

DO Your Buying at Home.
burlington Free Press. J

How to secure a Greater Vermont is
one of the problems we are all discuss
ing at this time with renewed interest.
If we all bought what we need out of the
state, manifestly all of our industries
would languish and our merchants would
go out of business. Therefore, we should
all buy at home instead of sending to
Boston or New York stores for the same.
The question is, why should we not all
study how to buy more of our necessi-
ties at home, and thus keep the money
represented in circulation in Vermont :?
The Free Press has been conducting an
investigation into the matter of our large
hotels buying more farm products in YER

an interesting and helpful article in an

1t is surely an Improbable game and
it must be getting to be bit monOtOnous
for the Bellows Falls strikers TO assemble
in the square three times a day for the
sake of making a few jeering remarks
to the non-union paper makers. Now
that the line has been drawn so sharply
between jeers and intimidation it must
necessitate a more discriminating choice
of language.
