If press reports are true, the Vermont
Democrats have gone into partnership
with Tammany hall of New York to
light President Wilson, and all because
of a postoffiee appointment for Brattle-boro.

One of the reassuring features of the
present war for Great Britain is the loy
alty shown by her great province in
North America. The support accorded
her by Canada serves to cement the ties
oven more firmly, and if there was any
fear that Canada was drifting away in
her affiliation, the idea is put aside now.
New York has great hopes for the ad
ministration of Charles S. Whitman as
chief executive of the state; and a great
number of people outside of that com
monwealth feel that New York is par
ticularly fortunate in having a man of
Mr. Whitman's stamp to take up the du
ties of the position. If his administra
tion is not successful, it will le a matter
of great surprise.
What need for further investigation of
the unprepa redness of the I'nited Hates
for war when Ixrd Northeliffe tells us in
so many words that we are in bad shape
as to hind forces? It is testimony, al
though perhaps not expert testimony,
from a keen observer of another country
whose people have occasion to watch the
t'nited States closely, if not suspiciously.
H is the opinion of a Britisher. More
fiver, it is the opinion held by a vast ma
jority of the people of this country.
tute strong iirpiment that tne "recall'
does not make infrequent flections, for
biennial elections are considered of long
interval so far as municipalities are con
cerned; but it does presage that once the
voters ol a community having tne re
cull" system jM into the habit of de
posing their officials they will resort to
it much more frequently, with each dis
satisfied group M riving to get support
enough to command a new election. A
community that adopts the' 'recall'' sy
tern is likely to tind itself beset and
oer-run with i-li-i-tioim crowded in just
as cloself us the law will allow. On the
other hand, there are good features of
the system, notably, the ability summar
ily to remoM- oHicitils who are recreant
to their duties: but even in the some
what old-fashioned way of doing things
it was possible to depose a public serv
ant inside of h year at the latest by
menus of the annual elections, and that
is a pt to lie quite soon enough, especially
sirce the erring officials generally do not
la-gin their nefarious work until well
along in their t'Tins of ollicj. The new
system is not. therefore, a radical advan
tage over the old when the practice of
holding annual elections is continued, as,
we believe, it -'loiil.j 1m- continued.

The Hiirlington News is inaccurate in
stating that The Times, in a recent ar
ticle, opposed acceptance by Vermont of
T. N. Vail' offer of a ? 1 "wi.imkj plant fftr
a state agricultural Reboot. The Time
did not take uli position, it. took the
ition that if Vermont is not prepared
to give the liberal support that such
school needs, then the state might lietter
have the work to Mr. Vil liimelf, wbo
lias conducted the bool satisfactorily
during the short period of its Ai-tcnee.
Wo, therefore, asked the hcislMtnrs to
consider the matter carefully and in tt
fnniial aspects, in well from the

English Channel Tunnel.
Often since the Kuropean war began
there inunt have fluidied acroi the mind
of both atate-imcn and strategist the
thought of liow foolish the British gov
ernment was to forbid the construction
of a railroad tunnel Wvveen KuuLand
and France. Had the two countries
been coiinected by the proponed double
tube road beneath the KiiirliHh channel
thera would have betn a vast saving of
time, trouble and exjiense in the con
veyance ot liritiali troops to the fields
of war in northern France and Belgium.
iJover being bu mile from Jxmdou and
only 2ti m ilea from (,"laia, a troop train
could have run from Kngland to France
in conaiderably less than half tha time
of a run from London to Dover. The
choppy boa passage, and the tedious
tasks of embarkation and debarkation,
would have twin avoided. Neither from
below nor from above could any attack
have Ih'cii made, submarines ami aero
plane being alike powerless to pierce
O0 feet under the bed of the sea. .Men,
horse, guns and supplies of all kinds
would have arrived in better condition
than was ponaible by the old sea route.
It may be observed that not one word
ot all this is uttered by any of the Urit
ih military experts. They preserve a
discreet silence. It was they, or their
predecessor, the official advisers of the
government, who blocked the way of the
channel tunnel project. "They shrank
from the shadow of the Napoleonic bogy
invasion. Just forty years ago, when
the railway tunnel was first suggested,
the, British foreign olllee expressed its
approval, and yet there i no tunnel, be
cause every time the matter wa referred
to the military experts they repeated
against it as a danger. There is reason
to believe that those who survive have
changed their mind, and that the newer
men who direct British military affair
regard the under-gea road not as a peril,
but as a convenience. I Ins it certainly I
would be, and even more so in pence j
than in war, if the bond of Anglo-French i
friendship remained unbroken. j
As Mr. Asquith promised in the fall of (
last, year, the acheme ha l-en recon-1
sidered by the war ollice, the admiralty
mil the board ot trade, and it is under- i
food that their reports are in the bands
of the committee of imperial defence.!
The decision of this body is likely to lie
favorable. If it is, the tunnel wiil prob
ably Is- maje by the Southeastern Rail
way rompany of Kngland and the North- !
em Railway company of France, each !
of which is prepared to ex fiend fc.Vl.omi,- I
tssi, one-half of the estimated total coat. I
Hut the work may lie deferred until I
after the warwhich, while it severely!
taxes the energies and resource of both J
nations, is steadily drawing them rloser
in the tie of affectionate comradeship, i
I ha tunnel would lie in itself the addi
lion of a highly desirable and subtan
(ial ti'. Boston Herald.
