WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Who's Who for Jud9eship?

Who's Who for Judgeship?
There undoubtedly will be numerous
candidates for place on the bench
OF the Vermont supreme court. The
friends of John w. Redmond of New
port. former chairman of the public
service commission, are understood
to be urging his appointment. The
question OF promoting one of the
come up. The senior Judge is Love
land Munson of Manchester, who has
served continuously since 1889. He is
70 years old and it may be considered
advisable to select a younger man.
Judge George M. Powers is in the
prime of physical and mental manhood
| and his promotion to the chief judges
position would meet with general ap-
proval. -Brattleboro Reformer.
Unity of Effort.
Town and country people together
can do great deal for this community
as whole that neither could do alone.
Better by far that all the money
and efforts of our community be COM
bined and concentrated in producing
the highest efficiency in community
affairs than that they be so divided
and scattered as to result in mediocrity
or in total failure.
The farmer must give his undivided
support to the town institutions to
which he looks for service of any kind i;
the merchant also in the planning and
management of village institutions
must give consideration to the needs
and wishes of the farmer.
Our public institutions must be so
| ORGANIZED and so conducted as to merit
and receive the undivided support and
patronage of the entire population, as
we'll as to serve with equal effective
ness all members of the community.
Community wealth must be used for
community service. The inclination
in some quarters to separate the
interests of the city from those of the
town is short-sighted and only tempo
rary. More mature consideration and
only little experience will show its
folly.
Some radical changes may be
necessary to bring our community
facilities up to the high standards
demanded. but when these changes
have been made and when the new
order of things has become established,
people and their patronage.
and the situation in which we are
placed and we shall at once realize
that we are all aiming at the same
mark, seeking a single end-to make
this our home town and community
enterprising, progressive and prosper

apart.-Bellows Falls Times.
Mistakes.
> We have noticed number of squibs
in our exchanges regarding mistakes.
. These items lead us to believe that
: other buffers besides editors are sub
: ject to this malady. The editor s
mistakes stand out more conspicnously
than most other professional mems
because every issue of his paper is ar
open letter to the public. A fellow
: may happen along and inform his
; neighbor that there is new set O.
twins at Hicks place, and if later i
develops that the twins were boy nt
one pays any attention to the origina
tor of the false rumor. But should i
appear in the paper as originally
reported the father will in all proba
bility be down and exchange bullet
courtesies with the editor. Agar
5 when the village belle chances to ge
, only qualifications are that he car
chew tobacco and relate suggestive
stories, the whole town may will
IMMUNITY review the past history o.
the two and it cuts very little ice
But if the editor happens to spell thu
groom's name with an 'to'' instead O.
an "a" and overlook to record the fac
that the bride is a member in gooC
standing of the Ladies' Aid society
! they both would be insulted ant
merciIessly fay the editor and hi
Gimlet.
What is strange about the mistakes
: of newspaper man is the fact tina
', no matter how many errors he make
in lying about another mans qualitie
he never lays himself liable to b.
e punctured with thirty-two or lynched
: Indeed, it is funny old world. Every
9 body makes mistakes. The onl!
. ones who never make them ar
-. slumbering in the cemeteries-and i
d is not unlikely that some Of. then
= make mistakes. A man often make
a mistake by marrying when he shout,
o have taken a post graduate course il
It how to support himself. A fin
q woman often is in error when sh
! throws herself away on some fool VIII
Il can sing coon songs like Caruso bu
e couldn't make noise like loaf o
d bread to save his life.
n A boy makes a mistake when h
thinks he knows more than the entir
y staff of teachers, including the prir
70 cipal of schools. The world is plum
:, full of mistakes and mistake makers
If the newspaper man should tax
the pains to record them all he'd max
the mistake of his life and die on tn
to bed of the press with his shirtsleeve
'. rolled up and his boots on.-Thompso
