Ited In thle paper, and aaw the local aawa
published therein.
The weather is just one winter after
another.
Burlington seems to hive lost posses
sion of the first mortgage on the Dem
ocratic state convention, title having
passed to Rutland for the timebeing at
least.
The British and the French ought to
recall Cambrai, Amiens, the Marne and
various other places of consecrated un
ion of forces and then go and compose
their differences.
The woman's suffrage advocates are
. by no means down and out despite the
lull in their activities. Of course, the
'36th state will ratify it's only a ques
tion of how soon.
Quincy, Mass., made a gain of 43.0
per cent in population during the past
decade, but it is safe to say that the
granite industry there was not respon
sible for the growth of the city. Quin
cy is fortunate in having a shipbuild
ing industry along with others of lesser
consequence from which to derive
growth.
We extend congratulations to the
St. Jobnsbury Republican and its edi
tor, Charles Walter, on the completion
of the 35th year of the newspaper's
existence and especially on the fact
that the 3Cth year starts with the in
stallation of new equipment, which
promises to keep the contemporary in
the front rank of weekly journals in
Vermont. A linotype machine is being
placed in position and will no doubt be
used in the setting of the type for the
next issue of the paper.
It is no more reprehensible for a
candidate to set forth his claims for
the governorship than it is for a mer
chant to advertise his wares provid
ing the claims are well founded just as
the goods of the merchant are as repre
sented; therefore, we quite agree with
the viewpoint of various newspapers of
' Vermont that it is an unjust inhibition
to say that candidates shall not have
the privilege of letting the people of
the state know by means of paid ad
vertising why they are seeking office.
A test case might bring out the intent
of the law-makers in placing such a
statute in the general laws of the
state.
One of the elements of strength in an
individual and in a newspaper is to be
willing to correct an error when one has
been made. The Barton Monitor, Wal
lace H. Gilpin, publisher, is unfair,
cowardly, and a reproach to a magnifi
cent profession, if it persists in refus
ing to correct an erroneous statement
made concerning the Rutland News, at
tention having been called to the mis
take. The Monitor will do its candi
date, Curtis S. Emery, irretrievable
harm if it maintains its false position,
for a falsehood is always and every
where a boomerang. Rutland News.
If we have in mind the article to
which the Rutland contemporary refers
as in need of correction, we are inclined
tJ think that the new editor of the
Rutland News does the Barton contem
porary an injustice, for we have dis
tinct recollection of seeing a correction
printed in the Barton Monitor on the
week following the publication of th
originsl article about the relationship
of the new owner of the Rutland News
to Candidate Frederick It. Babbitt of
Bellows Falls. As we recall the cor-

rectlon, the Barton contemporary ad
mitted it was misinformed about the
relationship between the newspaper
man and the candidate. Our acquain
tance with Publisher Gilpin causes us
to believe that he is very ccmscientious
and would not willfully make an error
in statement and that if he did make a
mistake would be willing to rectify it.
St. Albans, the first Vermont com
munity to be officially reported in the
census returns for 1920, makes a splen
did showing with a gain of 18.8 per
cent in the 10 years and lends some
encouragement to those who have been
rather pessimistic about the population
figures of the state as a whole. It was
not generally considered that St. Al
bans was making very much of an ad
vance in population, so the returns for
that city make quite a surprise. If the
game ratio could be maintained by the
other large communities, there would
be hope of counterbalancing the loss of
population in the smaller places with
agricultural pursuits predominating.
THE DELICATE AN.GLO-FRENCH
SITUATION.
The allies cannot afford to let any
breach come in their concerted action
toward enforcement of the terms of
the Versailles treaty even if there
should be no other incentive for solid
ity because of companionship through
the tribulations of war. Therefore,
they should lose no time in closing up
the opening made in that solidity
through the determination of France to
make Germany live up to the letter of
the agreement signed by Germany. The
United States could find no more im
portant work just at this moment than
to bind up the wounds of the allies,
especially because of estrangement be
tween France and Great Britain. Tos
sibly the government at Washington
has already begun that very important
work of acting as peace-maker by en
deavoring to bring about an agreement
on a delicate point at issue. A threat
ened breach between Italy and some of
her allies in the war seems to have
been averted; and now with this even
more threatening development there
should be great efforts to bring about
a reconciliation. It is unfortunate that
President Wilson is not in the full
strength of normal health so that he
could become a powerful agent in ad
judicating the differences. The United
States msy be a believer in the stand
taken by Great Britain, that France
was not justified in sending an army
deeper into Germany in order to force
the retreat of German regular forces
from a forbidden area of Germany, but
the United States is really an outsider
in the discussion and could exert a
powerful influence toward smoothing
over the difficulties. Some nation
must do it; and there is none better
fitted to do it than the United States.
The solidarity of the allies must not
be shaken at this time.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Hoover Sentiment Gaining Force.
Editor, The Times: Sir On the

gather men and women are talking
Hoover for the presidency. It is an
other sign of the times, and only the
politicians demur. Notice the ground
swell everywhere. Sentiment for Her

it is gaining momentum every day.

CURRENT COMMENT
Thinks Proctor Not in Race.
The Burlington Clipper which suffers
from Procor nightmare occasionally,
admits that its dream of a rejuvenated
Proctor machine in Vermont politics is
only a dream after all. It aayi:
"Abram Foote of Addison county seems
to have clear sailing for lieutenant
governor. It is now said that Redfield
Proctor will not be a candidate." 'Bel
lows Falls Tiroes.
Why Limit the Comparison to Ver
mont? Rutland in all respects is more for
tunate than other Vermont commu
nities. Some of the newspapers of
the state chide The News for rubbing
it in. But the truth mut-t be told.
Justly subject to criticism as the trol
ley service of Rutland and its suburbs
may be, the service is regular and sat
isfactory a compared with it-he inter
mittent and uncertain transportation
facilities of St. Albans, Montpclier,
Bellows Falls and other centers of
population in the vtajte. This is sim
ply made a matter of record. It is
ungenerous to gloat. Rutland News.
Wilson's Reading Selected.
President Wilson's mysterious hold
on the Democrats seems unbroken. One
notion is that this is dae to the pros
pect of his running for a third term,
lie will not sidestep and eonfusion re
sults. If he does run, he will find that
at last his grip is loosened. That
faithful follower, the New York Times,

FAITH
To have and hold our faith in our f ellowmen is the foundation
upon which our government was founded; it is the essence ot
true democracy. 1 '
Whatever differences of opinion may arise; whatever con
flicting emotions and passions may for the moment warp our
judgment, we still have enough faith in each other to believe that
eventually a common viewpoint can be reached --a common
ground of interest where we can work together for the greater
good of all. If this cannot be done, we must deny aH progress
and regard man as a being insensible to moral and spiritual in
fluences, just merely a beast.
We as a bank have absolute confidence and faith fn those
with whom we are doing business and the community at large,
and if our conduct is worthy of such confidence, we shall take
new hope in our mission of public service.
