The temperance people of the state need only to keep awake, however, from now till next March, and make sure that their forces are kept together and their strength undiminished, to bring about such a vote as will put Vermont into line with many other states in the Union on this important question of sobriety. Roosevelt Wins His Case. The jury in the somewhat conspicuous suit of William Barnes, erstwhile chairman of the New York state republican committee, against ex-President Roosevelt, for libel, based on certain statements in a pubished article, brought in a verdict for the defendant on' Saturday, after eleven hours deliberation, and forty ballots. The jury believed that everything the Colonel charged against Barnes was true-hence the verdict in his favor. It is understood that on the first ballot eleven of the jurymen favored this verdict, but it took all the other ballots to get the twelfth juryman to see the case in the same light.

Col. Roosevelt expressed himself as deeply moved by the verdict. The plaintiff Barnes made a statement after the finish, declaring that Roosevelt's charges were absolutely untrue. Italy Enters the War. The Italian chamber of deputies on Thursday voted enthusiastically to give the government full power to go ahead with preparations for war and make any move that the situation warranted.

The vote was 407 to 74, and the deputies were cheered vociferously when the result was announced. War ABOUT THIS TIME of year the high school, college and university pupil is thinking seriously about that "scrap of paper" which travels out into the world with him under the name of a diploma. And the amount of plugging being done these days to ensure the possession of that document need not be mentioned.

Our Line of Wash Dresses Is Now at Its Best. If you are looking for a dainty afternoon dress, or for something more elaborate for evening wear, you will find them in this line.

The Board of Education. Now that members of the State Board of Education have been appointed, the machinery of the recently-enacted school laws may be said to have been set in motion, and the people of Vermont will interestedly note the workings of that machinery and hope for satisfactory results along educational lines, The personnel of the board is promising in the direction of an effective administration of the new laws. Two of the members James Hartness of Springfield and Frank H. Brooks of St. Johnsbury served in the educational department under the old law, and so bring to their colleagues on the new board an experience that will prove of value.

The others include M. C. Webber of Rutland, a lawyer by profession and president of the board of education in that city; Rev. A. W.

Hewitt of Plainfield, who, as chairman of the committee on education, got into close touch with the needs of the situation as it was unfolded during the last session of the legislature and Luther B. Johnson, editor of the Randolph Herald and News, a gentleman who has not only demonstrated his ability as a journalist) but who has also made a study of educational methods, and is thus equipped for intelligent consideration of the problems which the board will be called upon to solve. That the task before the new board is a somewhat difficult one, cannot be denied. It will require wisdom, and discretion, and tact, to bring about the educational adjustment for which the new laws call. Among other duties devolving upon it, this board is to employ a trained and skillful officer to be known as the commissioner of education, and fix his salary; through the commissioner and his assistants, to bridges and telegraph lines on the Italian frontier, and falling back on their fortifications.

She is in the war because Austria was not willing to.

cede as much territory as was asked. And she is in the war with an eagerness, an enthusiasm, and an impetuosity that will keep the Germans and Austrians busy. Italy's entrance into the conflict promises to prove a potent factor in shortening it, since it means a further cutting down of Germany's opportunities to secure supplies from without. Eleven nations are now engaged, and others are likely to take a hand in the big fight. When the last battle is fought, will the Allies' evident desire to reduce the German empire to a group of provinces be in the way of fulfillment! THE SUDDEN PASSING of Editor John E.
