The New York Central K. K. has decid
60 W duODl blit DlOtk On iiS
line. By this system all trains are kept
one mile apart and the danger of acci-
dents is virtually removed.
1t is not too late to say that of all the
good issues of our state contemporaries,
the Christmas edition of the Argus is cas-
lily the best. And it was not an advertis-
ing scheme but a first class newspaper is
sue and credit to state journalism.
The average circulation of THE HERALD
for the past twenty-five weeks has been
1921. When it is considered that all sub
scriptions are paid in advance and no pa
per is sent until paid for, we feel justified
in claiming the fourth rank in circulation
among the state papers.
There is no question but that two class
es OF voters will make themselves felt as
never before, in the state, in the next
campaign. They are the farmers and the
young men. The party that is wise e.
nough to nominate men who represent
these two classes will poll a big vote.
Death to ballot reform is the motto OF
the democratic party in New York. I'M
mediately following the decision of the
Court of Appeals that gave the democrats
the control of both branches OF the Legis-
lsture the N. Y. Sun, the official organ of
Tammany, declares in the most prominent
way in its editorial columns: "This hy-
pocritical, stupid, contemplate, Internal
ballot law has got to gol" Any ballot law
that stands in the way OF securing fair
vote or endangers the efforts OF its party
to make dew York permanently demo-
cratic, the Sun says "has got to 60"
The first issue OF that indispensable
hand book of Vermont, Walton's VT Reg
lister is at hand from the new publishers,
the Home Pub. Co. of Burlington of which
F. N. whitney, formerly of this paper is
the head. 1t shows a marked improve
ment over all previous issues. Better pa
per is used, the press work is much better
and the larger towns were carefully cor
rected by personal canvass. The pub
fishers promise still greater improvements
next year, but as it is, it is a book that
ought to be on the desk of every business
man in the state and is indispensable to
every farmer and mechanic.
Every paper speaks well of Senator
Proctor and predicts that he win be very
useful man in Congress. Why not2 Did
you ever see a good strong, practical, COM
mon sense business man in any office who
did not do we'll? The plain truth is, we
need practical men in all public offices
and especially as legislators. 1t is true
this class of citizens are not apt to be as
eloquent speakers as some professional
men, but they usually have the faculty OF
speaking directly to the point, and know
what they are talking about. Such men
make laws that do not need repairing and
that are in the interest of the people.
st. Johnsbury Illustrated is the title of
a work issued by the Caledonian, and ed
tied by Arthur F. Stone which must be
seen to be appreciated. 1t is really the
best work of the kind we ever saw and is
not only credit to its publishers and
town but to the whole state. The articles
are descriptive of Vermont as we'll as st. /
Johnsbury and it must do the state and |
that town great good. We wish every
town in this state had some citizen who
was as loyal and true to its interests and
the good Of the state as Mr.. Stone has
shown himself to be and would do like
wise. The book in paper covers is-only 6Oc.
The St. Albans Daily Messenger appear
ed Saturday in an entirely new dress with
new head and enlarged to 80 columns
and under new management. careful
review of this copy leads US to say that 1t
gives promise of being the best daily pa
per in Vermont. 1t is certainly the best
printed. 1t has all the news of the n. Z.
Associated Press, the Western Union Tel
egraph Co. and the Day Associated Press
Reports, which enables it to give the
news Of the world at least 10 hours ahead
