THURSDAY, JULY
1920.
Baid, perhaps, that Gov. CIt-ment'a atti
tude on the suffrage amendment mat
ter did not change the influences which
were already at work and which would
have had a tendency to keep him from
further political preferment of the sort
that he sought. So he really aurren
dered nothing by his refusal to call a
special session of the legislature.
Railroading on the Barre "hill" also
has its thrills.

"If Wilson warits war, he can have
it," wrote the ex-kaiser as a marginal
note on a document back in 1917. No
doubt the ex-kaiser regrets, the gift so
smugly offered three years back.
Gov. Cox of Ohio, Democratic candi
date for president, is being sought as
a campaign speaker by Vermont Dem
ocrats. Vermont is willing to show
him a good time even if it does not
show him the votes afterwards.
Under the new management, the
Newport Express and Standard is get
ting to be one of Vermont's most-alive
newspapers, having a distinction some
what akin to that of a daily news
paper, as it may become, we are informed.
The automobile manufacturers are
voting unanimously for the increase in
wages for the railroad workers because
the increase means a raise in passenger
rates, which, in turn, means a new crop
of motor vehicle drivers as people turn
in disgust to their own means of conveyance.
The farmer-labor party candidate for
president wants Eugene V. Debs, the
socialist candidate for the same office,
released from the federal prison at At
lanta.' Mr. Christensen need have no
compunctions about beating a man
when he is in jail. The voters of the
country will see to that.
A new phase of accident liability de
velops in the case of a woman worker
whose hair became caught in the ma
chinery in a Wtney shop, causing se
Ivere injury to the woman. The ques
tion is how far the liability of the con
cern goes in that case. It might be
open to more than one interpretation.
The history of the ill-starred Hohen
ssollern family, especially since that
time when its members forced a war
on the world, continues in its dreary
course through the suicide of Prince
Joachim, the youngest son of the for
mer emperor, and the only one, it is
believed, who got near enough to actu
al fighting in the great war to be
wounded by weapons. Prince Joachim
seems to have been looked down -upon
by the other members of the family
to a certain extent but to have been
somewhat of a popular figure in the
minds of the German people during
the progress of the war, perhaps be
cause he wore scars of actual participa
tion in battle. With the head of the
present Hohenzollern house in virtual
exile, with the eldest son and former
heir presumptive to the throne like
wise banished from his native land and
protected from the allies by Holland,
with the family exchequer reduced to
narrow lines by reason of the loos of
royal prerogatives, with the entire
family held very lightly throughout
the world, and now with the youngest
son taking his own life, things are go
ing badly for the Hohenzollcrns. What
a tangled web they started when they
instituted the war!

The name of T. Nelson Dale, so fre
quently seen in connection with gov
ernment reports on granite, will be
eliminated from the U. S. geological sur
vey reports next month when Mr. Dale
retires as geologist for the survey after
28 years' service. Mr. Dale has been
one of the country's most prominent
geologists during the past generation.
The Hartness campaign managers
are depending upon a card index to
show them just how much support
their man will have in the Vermont
primaries for governor, and they are
reported to be much encouraged by the
responses they have received. How
ever, it is a long distance between the
card index svstem and the ballot box.
MerclaWa in Vermont towns need to
be on their guard against the appear
ance of the slick frger who recently
passed forged checks on a number of
Middlebury merchants and got away
before the forgeries were discovered
through deposit of the checks in the
banks. It ia probable that the fellow
will try to find another easy money.

Japan may be able to scrape up 100,
000,000 yen in the t'nited States with
which to finance the South Manchu
rian railroad, but most American in
vestors are of the type of people who
want to be able to see their invest
ments now and then. Besides that,
there are plenty of opportunities in the
United States that are crying for
American money. All things considered,
it will be far wiser for the people of
the United States to place their money
at home, or in some country not far re
moved from home. ,
COMBATTING COMMUNICABLE
DISEASES.
Massachusetts stands 15th among 30
states from which statistics for 1918
are complete in respect to preventing
death from the seven most costly com
municable diseases. It is behind Maine,
Vermont, New Hampshire and Connec
ticut, a fact that may be met with
the dubious defense that it has many
more large cities han any other New
England states. Springfield, Mass.,
Republican.
It is, indeed, a dubious defense to
say that Massachusetts' poor showing
in preventing death from the seven
most costly communicable diseases ia
due to her large cities, in view
of the fact that Massachusetts
has been priding herself on. her ad
vancement in medical science and the
application of that science on the peo
ple ' of the state. That defense is
scarcely applicable when contrast with
Connecticut's death rate is made inas
much as Connecticut has several large
cities, whose population has been very
much of the floating sort ever since
the outbreak of the World war and
the development of war industries in
that state. As a matter of fact, some
of the other states of New England
have been making progress in methods
of handling communicable disease. We
refer in particular to Vermont because
we are more conversant with the con
ditions in Vermont. The Vermont state
boa'rd of health and co-operating or
ganizations have been putting forth)
unusual efforts to combat the spread
of disease; and the results of those
efforts are made apparent in the sta
tistics of year to year. Vermont's po
sition is not happenstance; it is a part
of well-designed plans.

Democrats may nominate Marcus Cool
idge of Fitchburg as their candi-iate
for governor, which would make two
Coolidges on the ballot.
When the voter gets into the booth
the confusion should not be so great as
might first appear. Governor Cox'
name will be coupled with that of
Roosevelt at the bead of th,e Demo
cratic electors on the presidential half
of the ballot, while Channing Cox"
name will appear elsewhere among the
candidates for governor. The situation
that would be created would, however,
be favorable to our own Mr. Cox. In
the first place a great deal will be said
against Cox for president that the
careless voter may receive as applying
to Cox for governor. In the second
place, the bonehead, seeing a Cox and
a CoolidKe candidate for governor may
think that the former is the Demo
rmtic nominee for president and the
latter our own Calvin Codidge for
whom he wants to be sure to vote.

A Serious
Situation
In our trupRl with tht H. C. of L.. economy fhould b our watch
word, but let it be rational economy. The prire of milk has not rien
out of proportion with the price of labor, the prire of other foods, r the
cost of production. And vet there are many families with growing chil
dren who buy only enough milk to t their breakfast food and color
their coffee. How reckWs to put "e.vpenMx e" milk in 'economical,"
nourishing coffee. But this is no jest.
It Is a Tragedy
It ii on of the serirms health question of the day. A survey In
Tortland, Orepon, revealed the startling fa. t that o.TOi school children
were getting little or no milk. How seriou is tlii milkles diet situation!
Juet thi serious! In Torthind in 101 more babies and children died
from causes traceable to lack of proper nutrition than from "Flu'' and
all other contagious deaes combined. Father and mothers, is this ot
a subject worthy of your earnest consideration!
The fact that phyaiiians are constantly prescribing either an ewlu
sie milk diet or milk in the diet, oupht to be proof positive to the lay
man that it is good medicine for him and hi family, si.k or well.
Pr. F.dward C. Callaway, an authority on the ubjct, tells us that
for the best h.alth of the family the milk bill should be to and one
half times the 1'cat bill and twio the bread bill.
In every family in America, the rule for buying food should be:
Oder the milk first, and then practice economy if it is possible en
food that ate not eiaotly essential.
Barre Milk is the milk from healthy cows.
