Surely The Moni tor loses nothing by its action. The need for martial law in tome parts of Ireland was never more ap parent tiian after the tremendous de bt ruction of property in the city of Cork. The law should lie imparthl, however, in bringing about a cessation of the disorders, murders and arson. Harding is taking on all comers, even William Jennings Bryan, and get ting their notions of public affairs. If Harding does not find his plastic mind a conglomeration of crossroads after this sort of program, he will be a vary fortunate person, and the country will be fortunate too. Washington D. Vanderlip, returning from soviet Russia with $300,000,000 concessions, does not ' give sufficient convincing data as to the availability of the concessions. Furthermore, the world has been too thoroughly imbued with distrust of the soviet movement in Russia to place much reliance in the proposition anyway. After having defeated a team at Jacksonville, Fla., last Saturday, the Haverhill, Mass., high school football team is now contemplating a journey to California to try conclusions with n strong team for the .championship title. If the trip is made and Haver hill wins, why not try the north pole? Perhaps they've got something up there. Ponzi's prison cell looks out upon the broad expanse of the ocean, the outlook giving him an opportunity to , ponder upon the 1 scheme to extract salt out of the ocean water or do some other stunt comparable with paying fit) per cent interest in 45 days. Wheth er or not that be Ponzi's line of thought, it is probable that the "wiz ard" will come out of confinement with some well-laid scheme. What has become of the man who was wont to declare that Europeans would stop emigrating to America as soon as the eighteenth amendment was ratified! Boston Transcript. He's down cellar swapping tears with the man who declared the for eigners would vacate the shores of the United States because of prohibition and who used that as an argument aaint prohibition. The representatives-elect and the senators-elect from Windham county have been invited to attend banquet in Brattleboro for the purpose of get ting acquainted before they come to Montpelier. Doubtless there are many good reasons for this get-together and one of them surely is that it will save a good deal of time which otherwise would be spent in Montpelier in get ting acquainted. Then, too, county in terests may be strengthened by having a meeting of the legislators before they get into the rross -currents of a Montpelier atmosphere during legis lative sessions. Some of the stories of deer hunters lost in the wilds of Vermont during the recent open season are almost ss harrowing as the tales of tuff-ring told by hipwreeked persons on a des ert isle. And it is no joke to get lot in a wild tract, with the deep snow engulfing one to the hips and vilU darkness coming on apace and, jkt ha, with no matches with which to start a fire of hastily gathered fire wood. Many of the deer hunter can realize the prwition of a lone hunter in such a predicament. For the active boy out-of-doors there is no better coat than our mackinaw. Warm enough for most any cold spell. Short enough for free dom of movement and certainly a "good looker." The prices $5 to $12. Also Sheepskin Lined Coats for men and boys. These would make an ideal gift for Christmas.

F. H. Rogers & Company y from Dec. 8 to Dec. 11, inclusive, no matter what each individual hunter may think of the outcome of his ex pedition into the woods and fields, there can be but one verdict on the part of the public in general. That verdict will be that the 19-0 season was successful. It was successful, not perhaps in the number of deer slain, but in the lack of any human fatal ities during the six days. Out of thousands of men and women who went out at some time during clip week to secure a deer apiece not one person was fatally injured by bu'let or otherwise. Indeed, but a single ac cident connected with deer hunting was reported, that being in the ease of a Bolton man who was shot In tne leg by another hunter. But the wound ed hunter is already recovered suffi ciently to be taken home from the hospital. Therein was the 1920 sea son successful. Whether the result was due to lurk or tetter restraint is not apparent. On the Safe Side. "Xow that you have accepted me," said the happy young man, "I'm going to get my life insured in your fa vor." "Perhaps, dear," suggested his girl, "you'd better attend to that before we spring our engagement on papa."
