The French showed splendid persist
oncy in their fight, for Steinbach, and
the accomplishment of their aim must be
extremely satisfying, inasmuch as the
capture marks an important step in the
recovery of Alsace that was torn from
them 4.) years ago. The decisive result
also means, without doubt, an important
break in the German line of defense.
The counties of Rutland and Washing
ton are having a close race in automo
bile registration, with Rutland leading at
the end of the 1014 lap. In this matter,
well as in others of greater moment,
Rutland and Washington counties are
getting to be the real rivals for first
place in Vermont. Over here we are will
ing to admit that Rutland county is a
worthy competitor, too.
The decision of the Harvard Medical
school to reduce the requirements for
entrance from a college degree to a two
years course in college may indicate the
first pinch of competition with other
medical colleges in its section of the
country. It will be recalled that Har
vard Medical college was more or less
the model of the Carnegie Foundation in
reporting on the Vermont Medical college.

CURRENT COMMENT
Untimely Deceptions.
Trickery and dap-trap do harm
enough when they go no farther than
tlm perpetrator and his first victim) but
when they stain a nation's good name,
.t all its commerce, and poison the judg
ment of its rank and tile, they lieooiiie
publio dangers, deserving wide exposure
and severe repression.
Whoever first thought of shipping con
traband copper in the heart of a rot-
ton bale may have hugged himself as a
clever trickster, lie hardly thought
what effects tlio cheat might have on all
our J'.iiroiieiui exports, iiut this at
tempt to ship copper in the guiso of cot
ton must bear the bluino for no small
part of that suspicion that has worked
delay for the bulk of our tram-Atlantic
shipments. The selfishness of a few has
hurt business through all the country.
The. public should know the names of
tlio men that took the chance of choking
national commerce embarrassed enough
at best.
.Even worse than such trickery in days
as critical us these is tlio traitorous
abuse of freedom in printed speech. Or
tin u newspapers are now putting tncen
diary perversions of tact, there are
sneaks that, for longer pay, help the for
st lire across the woodroad they under
take to guard; there are ghouls that in
disaster rob the victims they profess to
lie aiding; but these are petty offenders
compared with those who rewrite
lispatches and color headlines in delib
erate effort to kindle a people's fighting
temper and fan a blinding excitement.

One could easily surmise that Senator
Reed is from Missouri because of the
number of times he demanded to be
shown by Senator Dillingham during the
course of the latter's speech on immigra
tion in the Senate. By actual count in
that reliable journal, the Congressional
Record, Senator Reed interposed a word
fit times and was given courteous hear
ing by Senator Dillingham each time, al
though it would seem that the bitter on
eome occasions bad good reason for being
exasperated.

VERMONT AUTOMOBILE
REVENUE.
The collection by the state of Vermont
of $154.344. 10 from motor vehicles and
their 0H'tation during the pant year, as
thown by an interesting table in anoth
er column, reveals whst an important
factor the automobile has lieeonie in the
'cryday life of Vermont as well it)
the revfuue-producitig agencies of the
state. Indeed, st) great is the revenue
derived by the state that it would not
be considered remarkable if such commu
nities a Barn, Burlington, Rrattlcboto
and Rutland tnilit look with envy at
the diversion of the entire amount of
nut h receipts into the state treasury
rather than into local trcssuries by
means of bx-al taxation. For inotaiNV,

posed of nine members came to the con
clusion that the influx into the United
States bad become so great that the
aliens had passed beyond the stage of
merely competing with residents of the
United States for supplying labor but
that they were competing against eaoh
other. Hence, it appeared to the com
mission that some method should lie de
vised to keep down the annual flow of
people from other lands; and several
proposed plans were canvassed thorough
ly. Out of these several proposed rem
edies, the commission, excepting one
member thereof, became of the opinion
that the literacy test was the most feas
ible and at the same time the wisest
course to pursue; and, in accordance
therewith the commission made such defi
nite recommendation. It was on the
Imsis of that report and recommenda
tion that the tortunes ol the bill now
in the final stages of completion were
fought out. In support of that commis
mission's report and in expression of his
own deep convictions, Senator Dilling
ham took the floor of the Senate and in
a forceful presentation did much to in
fluence the views of his colleagues when
it came to the discussion of that amend
ment which would require the literacy
test for admission of aliens into the
country. In making bis presentation
Senator Dillingham drew upon a wide
knowledge of the subject of immigra
tion and he was able to present facts
end statistics which were apparent!'
unknown to many of the senators who
followed the course of his argument.
That the literacy test annulment was
finally adopted by the Senate was un
doubtedly due in large part to Senator
Dillingham's notable address based on
l is previous work as chairman of the
feoeral immigration commission.

Mr. Vail's Proposal.
The proposal of Theo N. Vail of Speed
well farms to present the state with the
agricultural school. Speedwell farms,
buildings and stock for educational pur
poses is the largest gift ever offered by
an individual to the state of Vermont.
Mr. Vail was very modest in saying the
property be offers could not be duplicat
ed for more than $150,000. It could not
be duplicated for more than twice that
amount. His genorsity is further shown
in the offer to allow the state to take a
much or as little land as it may decide
upon with the fully equipped school.
Apparently fir. Vail's purpose is to give
the state a fully equipped agricultural
school with enough land to form a good
endowment to the same.
Vermonters will be glad to know the
proposed gift does not include "The
House" at Speedwell and that Mr. and
Mra. Vail expect to maintain a home In
Vermont. Just the course of procedure
on the part of the state is not known.
Doubtless a committee will be appointed
by the legislature to investigate the
property and determine whether or not
the state shall accept and whether the
state will try to make the school self
supporting or maintain it by appropria
tions. Then if it is accepted the proper
officials will have to be authorized to ac
cept the deed in behalf of the state.
There can be little doubt the state will
grasp the opportunity to furnish more
practical education to its youth. If ac
cepted in full there will lie opportunity
to maintain, more than an agricultural
school, as there . are already quite ex
tensive forest plantings besides large
orchards on the farm. The state should
largely increase its education work as a
result of this great offer.
To Mr. Vail the completion of the gift
would be the consummation of an ear
nest desire to offer the boys and girls of
Vermont the opportunity to acquire an
education for the life they are to live, to
secure such a preparation for their work
that they can live a wider, fuller and
more useful life. High and honorable is
Mr. Vail's purpose and its fulfillment
would add one more great accomplish
ment to a life that has been so full of ef
fort and achievement. St. Johnsbury

HAVEN'T SEEN HUSBANDS-ELECT.
Seventy "Picture Brides" Arrive to Get
warned Nevertheless.
San Francisco, Ca Jan. 5. Seventy
picture brides from Japan arrived here
yesterday on the liner Shinyo Maru to
meet husbands they have never seen.
Fifty more arrived within tbe week on
other steamships.
Until the husbands claim them, the
brides are being housed on Angel island,
the United States detention station.
In th eyes of the Japanese law and
so for the purposes of the immigration
officers, the brides have been married.
There has been an exchange of photo
graphs, an approval by tne heads of the
two contracting families and a formal
declaration of intention In writing, be
fore a Japanese official.
The brides come tagged and numbered,
are consequently awarded to the right
husbands, and then, usually are taken
in hand by the Japanese assoation,
which escorts them to the marriage li
cense bureau, after which a religious
service is held.
