Our Crowded Prison.
bennington Banner.)

One of the demands to be made on the
coming legislature is for a big appropria-
ton TO enlarge the state prison at Wind
sor. Already there are many more pris-
oners than there are cells, and the
number of paroles by the governor wher-
ever there has appeared a reasonable
excuse. The increase in lawlessness is
worldwide and therefore cannot be
charged to anything peculiar in Vermont
or in the United States. 1t is generally
believed to be one of the results of the
great war which took millions of men
from their regular walks in life. OF
these millions of men. certain small
percentage seem unable To return to n
life of honest labor and there seems no
other way for organized society than to
make every effort To keep this lawless
minority under restraint. Prompt en-
forcement of righteous laws has a deter
rent effect on those inclined to err. but
a person who once becomes a habitual
criminal only rarely returns to a life of
rectitude.

The Bloc at ALBANY

IT, as Senator Straus charges. the
! newly formed farm bloc in the Lcgis
lature seeks to protect tubercular
mich cattle from destruction its
usefulness to the farmers will soon
be at an end. A special interest
which seeks to sell infected milk will
merely turn public opinion against
itself.
Farmers have complained in the
past, and with some justification.
that the state was slow in paying for
herds destroyed because Of tho pres
ence OF tuberculosis in the cows COM
posing them: but as q rule the COWS
destroyed have been paid for. The
Legislature has accepted the princi-
PIE that no cattle should be killed
without compensation to the owners
That, however. has little bearing
on the present question. Nobody in
ms senses can want the state to tol-
crate the sale Of milk from infected
cattle. Why spend millions Of dol
lars Of tax money to combat the
white plague if few farmers are to
be permitted to spread it through
disease bearing milk?
The contention Of the farmers that
they should be asked for their con-
sent before their COWS arc DESTROYED
Is absurd. Intelligent dairvmcn
might give consent, but not all dairy
mon arc intelligent, and neither arc
the small farmers from whom thcv
purchase outside mlk.'
The only thing to do with tuhcr
Guitar hcrd is to destroy it. The ONLY
method of insuring its destruction is
ny order of the state Agricultural
Department after examination. No
bloc that can be formed can ever
change public opinion about that.
The present effort Of the misren-
rcscntativcs Of the farmers in Al
bany ought to be opposed by all
farmers and all dairymen.

An ilate blue-lawycr denounced the
bus tops as sinful and demanded
that the company turn the pitilcss
light of publicity upon the affection
ate couples. Hotly defending the
beauty of young love, the company
refused to consider the request. and
WAS seconded in its refusal by the
Sheriff of New York County. who
would not employ tho arm Of tho law
to remove the arm Of the lover. In
fact, the Sheriff pointed out that
conditions in the subway were inf
nitcly worse than on tho bus tops,
inasmuch as strange young men and
women were forced unwillingly into
even closer association in the sub

The Yap Treaty

Inc ap treaty, winch technically
did not belong to the conference
group, because only two powers were
concerned in it. was signed after the
conference dissolved. 1t is, how
ever. an important link in the series
OF compacts for the preservation of
peace IN the Pacific Moreover. it
offers an approach to the settlement
OF vexatlous international cues
tlon--that of mandates-left open
by the refusa of the United States
to ratlfy the Versailles Treaty.
Mandates over the former German
oversee possessions were assigned
by the Allied Supreme Council. The
United States at that time had no
representative in the Council. and
was not consulted. Our State De-
partment subsequently protested
against the Zap award. on the
ground that President Wilson had
made reservation with regard TO
zap when the allotment of the Ger
man islands in the Pacific was dis
cussed at the peace conference. The
japanese asserted that no record of
such reservation could be found.
The German colonies were ceded
10 the five principal Allied and as
soclated powers. The United States
therefore had an undivided interest
IN them, which could not be DISPOSED
OF without its consent. Secretary
Colby, and Secretary Hughes after
nm, Informed the Allied Council
that our government would not rec
oenlze the validity of mandates over
territory ceded jointly to the five
chief belllgerents, if issued without
our authority and approval.
Japan took possession of Yap. An
ugly issue with the Japanese and
with the other Allied Supreme Coun-
cll powers was thus created. France.
Italy and Great Britain eventually
conceded that the American claim
was sound. Japan and the United
States then undertook to settle the
dffflculty between themselves.
The new treaty is the result. II,
grants us the cable and wireless sta
tion rights which Mr.. Wilson in
tended to reserve. 1t protects our
access to and use of this island az
communications center. 1t goes still
further and recognizes the conten-
ton that we are joint trustee for
the inundated Pacific islands. Japan
IS obliged to make report to the
League of Nations on the manner in
which the mandate is executed. She |
also agrees to make report to the
United States, although we are out.

Thus, the irritating mistake made

promised the soldier bonus" 1t was
tho only thing that wasn't promised.

nothing would be too good II we would
only win the war. The idea crept into
popular song Of the day. One slogan
was "Money will win the war"

unfortunately, patriotism has always

will be. And the idea that the men

for tho physical strength and the
mental courage to go through the next
