The st. Adams Messenger points out
that while there is little coal for dis
tribution at the present time there is
need for fuel administrator in YER
mont in order to enable Vermont to
acquire her fair share Of the coal dis
tribution in the scramble of the states,
the contemporary declaring that dur
ing the war period it was constant
warfare to keep Massachusetts from
getting more than its share Of the coal
that was coming into New England.
That being the case and the higher
fuel distributing authority failing to
do its duty, there is, apparently, great
need for Vermont to have some agency
for putting in claims in behalf of the
state So let the Vermont fuel admin
istrator get in his claims early and
stick to them until the threatened
shortage Of coal Is relieved. II it comes
to warfare between states to ac-
quire coal, Vermont cannot, of course,
be left out of the scramble, albeit it
would seem to be the duty Of the fed
eral fuel department to see to it that
no state gets more than its fair pro-
portion of coal.

The understanding seems to be that
the first year or two of a cough. is
only slight catarrhal condition Of
the throat, or simple bronchitis and
the coughing and splitting are neces-
sary and in no way Objectionable 9th
er than perhaps of stirring up little
granite dust. So, its just as well to
take 'em down.
Consumptives have always been well
come ITO spit promiscuously at the
stnoesheds and all rejoiced to see them
splitting themselves back to health
again and the more promiscuously
they spit the faster they gain, and
further, there is absolutely no danger
of contracting tuberculosis there ex-
cept from the granite dust. So, its
Just as well they were taken down.
The tuberculosis bacilli OF con-
sumptive in the granite district being
inert there is no need of placards pro-
hibiting splitting anyway or observing
them at all if they should be posted.
So. let 'em stay downl
Granite has recently been found to
be the habitat of the tuberculosis ba-
cilli and the quarries are alive with
them or something else, which can be
easily see any week day.
Whether the culture medium is the
quartz or the felspar or mica is being
seriously investigated II quartz is
the culture medium of the tubercular
bacilli then it is apparent the light
stock is the more dangerous to han
die, but if the felspar and mica are
the source of supply Of the t. b. then

THE WASHINGTON COUNTY
PROBATE JUDGE.

Those who have followed the course
of affairs in a probate court of Yer
mont are we'll aware that it is essen
tial that the presiding judge Of such
court should not only have a judicial
temperament but also thorough I'M
derstanding of the law itself, in addi-
tion to such other qualities of per-
sonality as the position requires. The
people go to the probate Judge not
merely to go through the formal pro-
cesses Of law in connection with the
settlement of estates but they go also
for advice on points Of the law. Scarce
" any person, unless he be a lawyer
himself, feels wholly confident to know
what steps to take in meeting some of
the problems having to do with es-
tates, and hence the average Judge Of
probate court in Vermont has to act as
legal counselor as well as Judge. More
over, fully ninety per cent of the cases
are passed upon by the judge without
an attorney being present in court to
represent the parties in interest. That
being the case it seems to be very
necessary that the occupant Of the po-
sition Of judge of probate be a law
yer and lawyer who is well versed in
the law
Washington county is about to
change judges in its probate court
through the resignation of Frank j.
Martin who has been the efficient and
obliging judge for many years; and
it behooves the county to make wise
selection OF successor to Judge Mar
tin. There is candidate before the
people who meets the requirements, a
man who is a practicing attorney at
the present time but who is prepared
to lay down that practice if the voters
desire him to be their Judge of pro-
bate. That candidate is Earl r. Davis,
who has been practicing law for a
score Of years, the greater part Of that
time in Washington county. If the
voters of the county select Mr. Davis
as successor to Judge Martin they will
be assured Of continuance Of efficient
service by man who is prepared to
give that cooperation from a legal |
standpoint which the position requires.
We believe that Mr.. Davis ought to
be selected for the position.

Public opinion upholds the New
York Judge who imposed the limit SEN
tence and then gave tongue lashing
to the New York father who beat his
l3-year-old daughter with clothesline
40 severely that great welts were
raised on her body because the girl did
not do an assigned task quickly
enough. II is possible that the girl
was recalcitrant and intractable but
not even a parent has the right to in
fict such severe punishment as was
inflicted by the father in this case
who, by the way, was described as
built on professional strong man pro-
portions while the victim of his wrath
was nothing more than slip of

But for this the cooperation of the
United States is necessary.

sharp criticism in England, especially

from the Tory side. but perhaps it
cannot be judged except as part of a
policy still being worked out 1t has
an obvious bearing on the controversy
between the French and British govern
ments over the war indemnity, and
may In part be intended to strengthen
the British position that concessions to
France as well as concessions TO Ger
many must be part of larger settle
ment. The theoretical soundness Of this
is incontestable, but the political effects
of this newest move are still to be
gagged. To our own government it may
not be very welcome because it puts
the United States in the position of the
ultimate creditor whose claims are felt
oppressively all along the line.--Spring-
field Republican.

1t is about time that the unequal
warfare in Ireland was called off in
the interests of humanity and the good
of ireland. From this distance it looks
as if the Irish Irregulars, so-called, are
facing inevitable defeat and ignom-
my. Some agency, powerful enough,
ought to intervene to stop the further
bloodshed, if the lreegulars are not
able to see the almost certain outcome
of their further resistance.

the placards prohibiting splitting in

public statutes and are for the purpose

REVENGE VERY SWEET
TO CAST-OFF PLAYER

Urban Shocker of ST. Louis Browns
Known as Nemesis of New York
Yankees-Johnston Gets Even
With the Indians.

Revenge tastes fairly sweet under
ordinary circumstances but there must
be a fierce joy in the public revenge of
a cast-Off ball player.
The Yankees hooked Urban Shock
er to the Browns in 1918 and ever
since then ShOcker has been known as
the nemesis of the Yankees. His CHIEF
delight is TO pitch to Babe Ruth at the
Polo grounds where all New York may
see. scOrning the intentional pass be-
cause he seems to know that he has
more "on' the BAN than any other
pitcher in the league.
The Indians got rid Of Doc Johnston
because he was too old for Il club with
the championship idea. And when the
Athletics recently mauled the Indians
pitchers for 20 hits and - extra bases,
which equaled the major league rec
ord. Doc Johnston took a merry part
in the passing, with pair of triples
and a brace of singles in five trips.

the Giants would have been beaten
several times but for the same Doug
las and the very identical Jess Barnes.
And eventually it was no less than
Barnes in person who pitched that no
hit. no-run game against the Pills,
facing only ~ batters and permitting

That was dramatic revenge for
