CURRENT COMMENT
A New Tragedy In Ireland.

The wanton killing of Michael Col
lins is crime so abominable, so heavy
a calamity to Ireland 10 shocking a
blow at civilized administration Of at
fairs everywhere, as to leave the world
amazed and appalled,.
The whole world of law and order
needed Michael Collins. Barely 10 days
ago the Irish free state had two able
leaders, complementary of each other,
each possessing in large measures the
special abilities that the other lacked,
and now both are gone. Through that
interval of 10 days the world saw that
while man of the temperament of
Arthur Griffith could not possibly have
done the work of Collins, still Collins
would be able TO do both his own spe
cial service and in some measure also
the tasks to which Griffith had adj
dressed himself
That tragic sequence of eyents-the
assassination of Wilson in London, the
death of Griffith, the staying of Col
lins These are among the events that
defy the intelligence and battle the con-
science of honest and good men every
where. Words seem futile at such
critical time, every expression of hor-
ror for the deed and anxiety for the
future seems hackneyed, commonplace.

Realization among the supporters Of
the Free State movement in Ireland
that the only course to pursue in the
present uprising against the govern
ment is to secure the unconditional
surrender of their opponents strikes
one as entirely reasonable if the pres
.ent intolerable warfare is to be put
down. It might be added, too, that
there viii have to be continual vigil
lance If recurrence Of the armed OPP
position to the Free State government
is to be prevented. Ireland is by no
means united in sentiment regarding
the formation of the Free State gov
eminent although the majority seems
TO be in favor of support of the gov
ernment; and the opposition will not
stay down without restraint of some
kind. The work Of establishing a sta
BILE government will be far from fin
ished even though the present uprising
may be effectually squelched.

WHY A LAWYER FOR PROBATE
JUDGE,

When the voters of Washington
county get down to serious consider.
alton of the matter of selecting a
Judge of probate they are likely to
support and man versed in the law
through earnest study and many years
of experience. Why win they do it,
Because they know that sooner or
later they or their relatives win have
to 90 to the judge Of probate for sug-
gestions and directions regarding the
settling of estates and they viii want
to have somebody in the judges posi-
ton who is able to tell them what
they want to know\and to interpret
situations in the light of the law. 1t
may not be absolutely necessary that
a Judge Of probate should be a law
yer of experience but it is very de-
sirable Therefore, we are inclined to
believe that when the voters of Wash
ington county decide what they are
going to do on primary day they will
cast their ballots TO the extent of
majority in favor OF Attorney Earl R.
Davis of Barre, who, in the phrase of
certain other candidate for public
office, 'can aud will do the work"

Social VS.. Glass Instincts.

In the sudden emergency that
threatened the lives Of the passengers
on the Adriatic the crew preserved
discipline, neglected no precaution to
safeguard all on board, fought the
flames and brought the ship to port.
Contrast the action Of that crew
with that of the men who abandoned
Santa Fe passenger trains in the des-
ert last week, leaving hundreds of
women, children and the aged ma
rooned in deathdealing temperature.
Why did the ships crew display
courage, fidelity and social discipline
while the train crews exhibited the
worst qualities OF the race--inhumsn-
ity and selfshnessl
The answer is not hard The Adri-
atic's crew obeyed the natural instincts
Of men. With the Santa Re crews
these instincts were overcome by hat
red and the desire TO do injury 60 9th
ers. Class instincts had outweighed
social instincts. These men wanted
to injure their employers, and in the
intensity Of that motive their feeling
Of obligation TO the race was dissolved
We see in this contrast the forces
that hold society together and the
forces that wrench il apart.-Ksnsas

there is anything to be learned about

will be the proper agency through
which the information could be broad

When you read about some of the
marvellous pedestrian performances it
is well to take them with grain Of
salt Four young ladies started out
to walk from Brooklyn, N. y. to vii.
mington, VT, on Sunday morning
and they reached Brattleboro the fol-
lowing Tuesday afternoon. The young
ladies were good enough to admit that
they walked only about dozen miles
of the entire distance, having been
given lift" by passing automobile
lists. Other pedestrians are not as ac-
curate in giving out Information
about their means Of locomotion and
they sometimes startle the world with
their stories Of walking performances
just don't believe all they say.

Old home week memories from Yer
mont observances in 1922 are strong
back home reminders for another year.
There is something about a successful
old home week celebration that gets
one with an almost irresistible force I;
people want to 20 back again and they
will make considerable sacrifice in or
der to-do so. The true spirit of com
rsdeship between old-time friends is
the particular lodestone that attracts.
Vermont is especially well blessed with
opportunities to make old home week
celebrations effective and the idea
ought not to be allowed to drop.
