In case the Vermont legislature iouW adjourn on April 1 it ould be ruidered a good joke. It is now up to tho prosecution to Itch the indicted ball players any- Ling but a "grooved" ball. Robert Lansing's book on Woodrow 1 ilsn at the peace conference is ligely corroboratory evidence. Taylor, former Vermont writer, lift an estate of j,000. What do you make of that, atson? Bert L lwspapor It looks as if Governor Hartue6S had lorked his co-ordinating machine to rfection in the matter of selecting he state highway commissioner. I With ex-President Taft calling again the White House with his usual Iviality, the gloom seems to lift from le country to a certain extent. Taft's liilc goes a long ways. Ilhe master plumbers of Montreal ivt decided to pay their men for nrk done rather than for time spent a job. The movement ought to Iread to automobile mechanics. I The precariousnoss of ex-President lilson's health is indicated by the larm which Jus mild attarK or inai- sOn caused in his household. Wil li! is by no means a well man. The first thing the American govern- hnt ought to do with Crover Cleve- Ind Bergdoll when it gets him is to nputate from his name the name hon ied in American history. It is a (ckery that such a deserter should Ive carried the name of one of the tion's greatest patriots. iNTow that the bureau of internal rev- lue has given permission to thestraw- Irry growers of Louisiana to utilize leir product in manufacture of straw- Irry wine for non-beverage purposes, ought to be possible for ermont lople to transform their blackberries lo a medicine of the well known sort nianv a Vermont home. IThe death of that Rutland man after ending 10." vears in Vermont and Iter being permitted to enjoy every- r affairs right up to a few hours ior to his demise is another indica- i that those who seek normal life In find it in ermoni. inis nuuanu Ln is said to have taken a keen nse of pleasure out of the everyday itters of life.

I in There is a good deal of justice in the complaint by the Burlington dip noi, almiit 4tio -nt inn nf some p-overn- ..18.00 T - - ..1 tl.00 nient omciais in aeimuig c,rai mj motor trucks, carrying loads, over the highways of Vermont from Fort Ethan Allen to St. Johnsbury as a test run. It is said that the trip was intend ed to be a snow test but the season was so far advanced that it was more of a mud test for the motor trucks. More than that, and immeasurably more important, it was a test of Ver mont roads to which they should not have been subjected. In our neighbor ing state of New Hampshire they have just passed a law requiring that motor trucks keep off designated highways during the spring when the frost is coming out of the ground and the highways are in a soft condition. The new law is reasonable and absolutely necessary if the roads are to be kept from complete demolishment. Yet in Vermont these armv trucks were sent over one of the most important high ways in the state at a time when heavily loaded vehicles were calculated to damage the roads materially. Through the towns of Essex, Jericho, Underhill, Cambridge, Johnson, Mor ristown, Wolcott, Hardwick, Greens boro, Walden and Danville to St. Johnsbury the army trucks ploughed their way through a combination of snow and mud. At one point, so the news dispatches stated, the trucks were stalled and mired so that trac tors which were carried on some of the trucks, ostensibly as "loads" but more likely as motor aid in just such emergencies as were met, had to be used in hauling the trucks out of the mud. It is said that the ruts dug by the army trucks ranged in depth in some places from 10 inches to 'Z0 inches, while the grinding which the tractors subjected the roads to in the places where the trucks were mired added to the destruction of the high way. The damage done to the high ways cannot, according to the Burling ton Clipper, be repaired at less than $50,000, thus adding to the tremendous burden of upkeep which Vermont has been carrying for a long time. And that, too, just to make a "test run!" The order which sent the trucks over the highways of Vermont was a se rious mistake but was almost equalled by the tacit permission given by the state department of highways and town departments to carry through the so-called test. The federal government ought to pay for the damage done. jl WE TokderI "It's a wise man who knows where to draw the line between confidence and conceit'.
