The mere appearance of ex-Governor
Fletcher at the state convention in
Montpelier last Wednesday was enough
to start the rumor agoing that Fletch
er might be a candidate for U. S. sena
tor. It's about as easy for Fletcher
to start a rumor as it is for the sun
to get up in the morning.
Report had it that Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll passed through Vermont while
on his way to Canada, being clad in
woman's clothing. That seems to be
about Bergdoll' proclivity, hiding be
hind a woman's skirts, as he did during
the war when he used his mother as a
defense against the government's at
tempt to get into the service. It is too
bad if Bergdoll gets out of the country.
The proposed United States mandate
over Armenia does not appeal to the
great mass of the American people. It
is too much of a proposition to ask
any single nation to undertake, least
'of all a single nation which is so far
removed geographically and otherwise
from the country, over which the man
datory is to be exercised. The United
Ktates does the wise thing in refusing
tn become mixed up in the matter.
One good thing is resulting from the
ex-kaiser's exile in Holland he is
learning some useful occupations such
as eutttng down trees and making his
own clothing. It is unfortunate if the
insufferable elder son of the former
kaiser is not being compelled to go
through a course of instruction in simi
lar branches or in some lines of occupa
tion which would be just as useful. The
elder son needs just such an influence
as trade would bring upon him.
As an especially decorous occasion,
the recent Republican state convention
at Montpelier took high rank. The
managers steered almost clear of all
discord among the members of the con
vention, and the convention adjourned
without any lasting scores if one is
to jud(,'e the sentiment expressed in
various quarters. One of the wisest
things was the avoidance of any dis
cord oer the question of instructing
the delegates to the national conven
tion. That question might easily have
produced disagreement of considerable
Importance.
Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts
U conscience-free, if not care-free, for

James B. Reynolds, who "at the insti

quarters last January in Washington
hi my behalf," which headquarters were
rinsed at Coolidge't request "several
months ago." Whatever happens to
liim in the campaign, Coolidse has
nothing to regret concerning the pre
ronvention campaign made in his be
fealf. As a matter of fact, it could not
h considered as a campaign at all. It
lias been a mere suggestion powerful

BE FAIR TO OUR VISITORS IN"
VERMONT.
The season is at hand when Vermont
sill be entertaining hundreds and
thousands of vinitors, many of whom
lave no connection with Vermont by
tativity or by kinship with present
eidents of the state. Thne who have
tn direct connection nith Vermont are
icmirp into the state to gain the rec
cation which a period in the fp'endid
nvironmcnt , the Urcen Mountains
:n gite them; they are, many of them,
tfttinz a strangers to the state and
i the people. Therefore, it behixnes
he residents of the state to welcome
item gladly and to treat them most
radially during the time of their stay
r the tste. This cordial treatment
nean a gl many thing, and one of
i,ne thus whi'h we mention with
roe diTtd.-ni-e be an-e l the belief
J-it the wampj appl.-s 011'y to a few
r,dent if to I fr in rhargee for

f iir year to come ttpe the
tor e a lair pur 4 !, board aad
the other Service which is rendered to
them; and the result will be a' clear
conscience, a satisfied guest and a de
termination on the part of the latter
to return another season and also to
spread the report of the fairness of
Vermont's landlords and boarding
house, mistresses. Nothing can give
Vermont summer resort business such
a black eye as to have it go broad
cast that the hotels, boarding houses
and private home entertainers are en
deavoring to profiteer off the summer
vacationists. We believe there is little,
ot no disposition among Vermont en
tertainers to take more than a fair
charge from the visitor but, lest there
bo some who would east reproach on
the entire number through extortionate
charges we would like to put in this
note of warning don't profiteer; be
fair and square; and see what a big
impetus it will mean to the summer
vacation business in Vermont.
CURRENT COMMENT
Revive the Beech Seal.
It would seem as though it is about
time for the Green mountain boys to
reorganize for the protection of the
rights of Vermont against outsiders.
The seizing of the Vermont fishing li
censes 'by New Hampshire officials at
Bellows Falls is quite as serious an
outrage of Vermont rights as ihe vis
its of New York officials to the early
settlers of the state. The Green moun
tain boys of those' days applied the
beech seal to the backs of ehe New
York marauders so effectively the in
vasions were discontinued. The next
New Hampshire warden who invades
Vermont territory to commit official
outrage on a Vermont citizen should
be given a dose of this ancient remedy
for outside greed.
Frobably no other state in the un
ion has had an experience similar to
Vermont in maintaining its territory.
When Vermont set itself up as an in
dependent republic it had to deal with
New Hampshire claimants on its east
ern boundary and with New Yorkers
on the west. An agreement that the
Connecticut river ehould be the bound
ary between Vermont and New Hamp
shire was made without much delay
but New York for many years refused
to recognize Vermont jurisdiction and
was submitted to some humiliating
experiences by the Green mountain
boys. When the .boundary between
the two states was finally agreed upon
the New Yorkers respected it and have
since observed it.
New Hampshire on the contrary has
ignored its agreement with Vermont
and attempted encroachment in dif
ferent ways compelling the tate of
Vermont to continually fight for its
territory. The matter is coming be
fore the supreme court for adjudica
tion but New Hampshire officials con
tinue to invade Vermont territory and
harrass its citizens. It would seem
as though it is time for the citizens of
Vermont to organize eome fishing par
ties on the wet thore of the Connet
tricut river who should become "fish
ers of men" (in the form of New
Hampshire bandits) and give these in
vaders a good stiff course in natural
history with a Vermont beech twig.

The Decline in Prison Population.
The public, knows that the number
of inmates in our country prisons has
greatly declined. Many attribute the
decrease to prohibition. But prohibi
tion seemingly accounts for the change
only in part. An elaborate statistical
study by Warren F. Spalding of the
Massachusetts Prison association yields
some surprising deductions. The ar
rests for drunkenness went down about
It; per rent in 1019 as compared with
1018, while the arrests forall offences
went down "Vs per cent, but the com
mitments to county prisons decreased
17 per cent, and the number of inmates
at the end of the last institutional year
was down 28 per cent. The most sur
prising rations of all in the long list

MADE EY SCOTT & BOWNE
MAKERS OF SCOTT'S EMULSION
aro these that irf 1914 the number of
commitments to the county prisons
was 123 of every thousand arrested,
and last year only 50.
For every five arrested persons who
used to be sent to the county prisons
only two are sent to-day. The courts
manifest more and more reluctance to
penalize poverty by committing par
ties for non-payment of fines, and
more persons charged with drunkenness
have the ready cash for payment. More
cases nowadays are put on trial or no)
prossed. Especially is the dopletion of
the prison population to be attributed
to the increasing tendency to place
raws on file after trial, after guilt has
been established. The number of pro
bation cases has not grown much, but
while once seven of every ten of these
were cases of drunkenness, the ratio
now is only three in ten. The analysis
includes one other item, not like the
above under eourt control the steadily
growing practice of claiming the right
of appeal to a higher court in the hope
that revision may reduce the sentence.
Mr. Spalding is of the opinion that
serious crimes are not increasing in
Massachusetts, which is contrary to
the general impression. He bases this
view on a study of the long-terra sen
tences to state and county prisons. In
general he believes that the prison has
fallen into disrepute with the courts as
a social agency, and that the courts can
hardly be expected, to make a larger
use of what experience proves to be a
profitless method of dealing with
crime) also that unless the courts
change their views our country prison
population is not likely to increase
much, even if the saloon should come
back. Boston Herald.
