A WELCOME TO MAJOR GENERAL
EDWARDS.
Tn an unpretentious way the people of
Barre and the surrounding towns wiBh
to convey to Major Oeneral Clarence R.
Edwards to day their appreciation of his
leadership of the 20th (New England)
division during the greater part of its
battle service in the great war. Thpy
feel keen satisfaction over the quality of
that leadership and they express confi
dence that whatever could have been
done for the men in that well-known
fighting unit was done under the direc
tion of Major General Edwards. So it is
with pleasure they welcome that com
manding officer into their midst and they
trust that some measure of the sincere
good will of the people of Vermont will
be conveyed to him through the medium
of the hospitality extended this day.
Barre has no desire that its hospitality
shall stand out in the long list of cour
tesies extended to him but desires rather
that its presentation shall serve merely
as one reminder of the kindly feeling
which all New England feels toward him.
Therefore, in the name of the people of
Barre and vicinity, The Times extends
this printed word of welcome, hoping for
Major General Edwards a pleasant stay
in this community.
The rival factions in Berlin are more
anxious to get into the police station
than the average American is.
With a Vermont man winning the ten
uis singles championship of Florida this
winter, the Kloridians do not find this
business of taking things altogether one
sided. But when it comes to money, they
have a rather easy time of it.
The riot in London in w hich American
soldiers were engaged, along with Brit
ish and Canadian Boldiers, against the
London police, is warning that the Amer
ican forces not directly concerned in po
licing the German territory ought to be
brought home as rapidly as possible.
Col. Ira L. Reeves, former professor of
military science and tactics at the Uni
versity of Vermont and more recently
president of Norwich university, finds
himself right in his element as president
of the new American Army university,
which has been opened in Beaune, in the
southern part of France. He should he
able to serve very acceptably in such a
position.
The sight of President Wilson, Demo
crat, and ex-President Taft, Republican,
swinging across the stage of the Metro
politan opera house in New York, arm ia
arm, must have been so unusual as to
cause much of the uproar of enthusiasm
that greeted their appearance. If Presi
dent Wilson and Senator Lodge should
do the same act, the audience would
probably be struck dumb.
Marshal Joffre, the man who stopped
the Huns from reaching Paris at the out
set of the war, is outspoken in favor of
the proposed league of nations, his posi
tion indicating that there is promise of
much accomplishment through the pro
posed world league to prevent war. We
in the United .States, who are far re
moved, from old world intrigue, should
give full weight to the testimony of
those upon whom much of the burden of
responsibilily incident to that intrigue
has fallen. Marshal Joffre is one of those
who have borne that responsibility.
Tt will be a graceful act on the part of
the Vermont Press association to erect a
memorial tablet at East Poultncy in
memory of Horace Greeley, who built
the foundation for his great journalistic
career in a little printshop in the small
Vermont village. Vermont has sent out
some eminent journalists in national life,
itnd perhaps the greatest of them was
Horace Greeley. A tablet erected in hon
or of him at East Poultncy will serve to
remind Vermont people of the honor tliKt
was their state's and may serve as an in
centive to great effort on the part of
some of the rising generations in Ver
mont. 1
Miss Elsie Gordon
Tells How Cuticura
Healed Her Pimples
"Itching and eczema started on
my foot due to the heat of my blood.
It Itched eo that I could
not sleep at night The
eczema started in scales
on the side near the
ankle, and spread to ne
sole, and when I
scratched, my foot got
sore. I had to wear
white stockings and low shoes all
the time, or I would not be able
to work.
"I read an advertisement for Cuti
cura and I decided to try them. I
used one cake of Cuticura Soap and
part of a box of Cuticura Ointment
when I was healed' (Signed) Miss
Elsie Gordon, 21 Waite St., Spring,

show the advisability of having govern
ment bonds registered, for in ease the
bonds fall into unauthorized hands they
would be of no good to the thieves or
anyone other than the persons in whose
names the registration was made. This
is in distinction from coupon bonds
which, of course, would be salable by
anyone who should gain possession of
them. If registered bonds should be stol
en, or lost, it would be possible for the
owner to make good his loss by applying
to the treasury department and, going
through the usual course of procedure,
to get new bonds after giving guarantee
against deception. In the meantime the
interest money would still be received by
the owner of the bond because no state
ment of transfer of the bonds would be
accepted by the treasury department if
properly vouched for statements concern
ing loss had been made. Of course, it is
not as easy to transfer registered bonds
in eases of bona tide sales as it is with
coupon bonds, as there is more or less
formality, or red tape, as it is called,
which one has to go through; but where
bonds are brought for an investment
there is less likelihood of transfer than
there is when bonds are bought for spec
ulation. And, as already pointed out,
the danger of loss by theft or otherwise
is practically eliminated if the bonds are
registered. The advantages of registra
tion far outweigh the disadvantages; and
hereafter the purchasers of government
bonds should take advantage of the sys
tem. It is one sure way to thwart the
thieves.
LUMPING THE LEGISLATORS' SAL
ARY. The lump sum salary for legislators
started from the idea that it was desir
able on behalf of the state because the
limited amount paid would have a tend
ency to restrict the length of the bien
nial terms, the argument being that the
legislators would plan not to stay be
yond the limit for which the stated
amount would be fair compensation,
whereas with a per diem stipend they
might be apt to prolong their stay at
Montpelier somewhat unnecessarily. It
was argued that the expenses to the
state might be cut to reasonable bounds
thereby. But the theory does not reckon
accurately with human nature. If the
average legislatures are inclined to take
their own head in the matter and reach
final adjournment at leisure, it might
probably be expected, too, that if the
lump sum fixed did not seem to be com
mensurate w ith the volume of work they
had to accomplish they would go a step
further and summarily increase the lump
sum. Then the state would be no better
off than if it continued to pay a per diem
stipend. Hence the system of paying a
per diem for the length of stay in service
may work out to better advantage after
all if the legislatures are not too dilatory
in their actions. There will not be great
regTet, therefore, that the House killed
the measure recently for a lump sum
salary for the members of hte general
assembly.
The Grand Trunk railway, forced to
compete to a certain extent with Amer
ican railways, found it hard work with
out the lavish financial support which
the United States government has given
to the American lines. That may ex
plain in part the necessity for the ap
pointment of a receiver to take over the
operation of the Grand Trunk. Another
drag on the Grand Trunk no doubt was
the depart rrfent which had to do with the
owning and operating of a chain of ho
tels in connection with the railroad.
American railroads would find them
selves very much handicapped were they
saddled with the burden of running ho
tels too.

STATE POLICIES RECOMMENDED.
In First Report Submitted by Vermont
Board of Control.
The Vermont state board of control
has made the following recommendations
in its first report: '
1. That the legislature consider the
advisability of installing a modern
sprinkler system in the capital, in order
to provide, adequate protection in case
of fire and to lower rates of insurance.
2. That the legislature, for like rea
sons, consider the matter of fire pro
tection of all state institutions.
3. Thdt the legislature consider the
matter of insurance on state property.
It is urged that the' legislature deter
mine whether or not the state should,
by sinking fund or otherwise, provide
its own insurance on all or part of state
property.
4. That in the appropriations for and
erection of new buildings at state in
stitutions hereafter, due care should be
exercised that such materials and archi
tecture be selected as will best conform
to future development 'of the institu
tions. 5. That the overhead expense of con
ducting the T. N. Vail agricultural school
and farms is too great a burden on the
state to warrant its continuance for the
relatively small number of students
available. The property is larger than
is necessary for an agricultural school,
and the problem of supervising the insti
tution is greater than providing educa
tion for the number of students in at
tendance. In the near future, large re
placement costs to meet depreciation will
be required. Recommended that the in
coming governor interview Mr. Vail in
regard to the future policy of the school.
ti. That the house of correction should
be combined with the state prison at
Windsor, to save large overhead ex
penses. The state prison is adequate to
accommodate the present needs as to
size and in addition has a splendid farm
and adequate facilities for working
thereon prisoners not desired to be con
fined within the state prison.

Gillett's Election a Symptom.
The election of F. II. Gillett of Massa
chusetts as speaker of the House is the
selection of a choice representative Re
publican to that position and it indicates
also the determination of the ruling
party to put forward as its representa
tive men those who are .forward-minded
and who stand for progress. Mr. Mann,
who stood for the backward-looking ele
ment, was at first supposed to be sure of
the position. Possibly he would have
been chosen if the election of speaker
had followed close on the election of
members.
However, when it dawned on the Amer
ican public, and especially on the Repub
licans who think more of the future than
of the past, that this might happen,
there was such an outbreak of sentiment
against the scheme that it was killed by j
public opinion. Mann was admittedly
i pro-Gorman, and, whatever Chicago or a t
tew other centers may say, that will nut
go down with the average American. He ;
was reactionary and was backed by that
monument of reaction, old "Joe" Can- I
non, a genial old getflleman, whom tliew,
all call "Uncle Joe" and delight to honor
as an individual, but do not care to fol
low in the year 1!1(. '
Gillett is a gentleman of high personal !
character, independent and intelligent,
and he w ill, of conre, make a speaker
of ability and fairness. But the best of
it is that he will be accepted as the sort
of man whom the Republican party j
chooses as its representative. Hartford i
