The affair at Revere Beach Sunday
night bears out the claim that where
there's fighting the Marines are in it.
Having given himself up, Francisco
Villa needs to be watched all the more.
He will be good when the Indian is,
Reports from the southern part of
the state indicate that Congressman
Dale is havsng a difficult time corner
ing the "soldier vote" in his fight for
renomination by the Republicans of
the second district. A good many for
mer service men are inclined to re
sent the appeal he made to them on
the ground of being their great friend.
No doubt there are many names
wrongly placed in the United States
government's list, of 173,911 men now
classed as deserters, and those men will
take the first opportunity to clear their
names. It is not a good heritage to
pass down to succeeding generations to
have it known that the charge of de
sertion hangs over the family. .
The death of a Morrisville boy as
the result of playing with a cord used
to raise and lower a street light is
warning enough for the youngsters to
keep away from appliances connected
with street lighting or from any elec
trical equipment 'At the same time,
the companies dealing in electricity
have a duty to protect the public in
every way possible.
The figures of population in Caledo
nia county are now available, showing
an unmistakable trend away from the
smaller towns into the larger commu
nities and, at the same time, a loss in
several of the larger towns to other
towns in Vermont and to other states.
Of the seventeen towns all lost popula
tion except four, the latter being St.
Johnsbury, Lyndonville, )Kirby and
Vheelook. Hardwick, one of the three
large towns in the county, experienced
the loss which seems to have been gen
eral to granite centers of Vermont at
least, for Hardwick dropped from 3,201
to 2,641, making the largest percent
age of decrease in the county. The
other twelve towns which lost popula
tion decreased in percentages of from
.4 to 10 per cent. But the loss of the
county as a whole was rather less
than had been expected, due, of course,
to the development of St. Johnsbury
and Lyndon. If the other counties of
the state which had been expected to
lose in the census should maintain so
greater loss than Caledonia there
would be no danger of losing one of
Vermont's two congressmen, for some
of the counties having large cimtt-rs
of population are likely to show fa!rly
gooj increases.

AMERICANS STAYIXG AT HOME
The threat of a new war in Europe,
taken in conjunction with the rather
shabby treatment that Amarican tour
ists have been receiving from ..lie over-
grasping people in several countries
has bad a tendency to keep Americans
at home during the latter part r,t the
summer. Prior to the outbreak cf the
World war there was a tremendous vol
time of traffic and travel at this sea
son of the year, going and coming; and
the steamship lines reaped a fine liar
vest from the tourists, as did the ho
tel keepers, all the employes of the ho
tels and the various other personages
in Europe with which the Ami rim n
tourists had to come in contact. This
summer it is different, far different, A
good percentage of the steamer trael
and traffic is directed westward to the
United States rather than eastward to
Europe. By common agreement .Amer
ican are staying at home, spending
the summer getting acquainted with
their own country by means of motor
travel and stops here, there and any
where that night catches them. Proof
of this change of plan from the former
summer schedule of European Travel is
given by the presence of increased
numbers of automobiles on the high
ways of Vermont and the other ew
England states i sad we presume sim
ilar condition are to be found in other
states where the development of tb,e
highways makes touring by motor ve
hicle a pleasure and not a hardship. So
well pleased are thee totirit itH

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR
, ;
The Sheep and the Goats Divided.
Editor, Times: It seems no mors
than fair that the average voter, who
h often misled by statements which
he thinks he has every reason to believe,
should be Informed just what power
ful influences are opposed to the league
of nations; namely, the bolsheviki, the
American socialist party, the so-called
"third party." Mr. Hearst and his pa
pers and such Republicans as follow
Senator Harding.
If there is anything untrue in that
sentence I do not want it printed and
am willing to stand corrected.
Among those who supported the
league were thousands of the noblest
Republicans in the land, a majority of
the Vermont legislature, the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, the Federated
Churches of America, the committee of
the American Bar association, a great
majority of the educators of the coun
try and the 2f civilized nations, who
hae already become members of the
league.
We can. hear or read, and, if we are
foolish enough or insincere or parti
san enough, believe every wicked thing
that is said about the league and these
people who favor it or what is much
worse we are at perfect liberty to talk,
write and vote against our own honest
convections, as apparently thousands,
mavbe millions, are preparing to do.
However, we will know the com
pany we are keeping, and we will
know the cause and the people we are
fighting. John Wilson

I am tint in favor of discrimination
in the enforcement of the law.
If a man is fortunate enough to own
an automobile or lielong to a golf
club and thereby obtain recreation and
enjoyment not only Sunday afternoon
but all day Sunday, it is equally im
portant, to my ay of thinking, that
a man with nltr rents in his toket
is able to obtain the recreation and en
joyment that he deire for a few hours
Sunday afternoon at a game of tae
ball "made in America."
