FRANK E. HOWE, Editor and Pub.
BENNINGTON, VI, JUNE II, 1913.

Tie supreme court of the United
States has upheld the federal law
compelling newspapers to publish
sworn annual statements of their
circulation and providing penalty
for making false reports, This is a
Just decision and one that will meet
the approval of most publishers. A
newspaper gets its living through its
advertising and advertisers have a
right to know what they are buying.
This decision is along the line of
pure drug laws and will undoubtedly
be followed by laws compelling gar
ments marked "all wool" to be made
wholly of wool and other similar
laws. The old scheme of misbrand-
ing about everything in order to fool
the public is about played out. The
old system put premium on dis
honesty and handicapped the honest
dealer. Another phase of the news
paper law provides that all adver-
Using printed in news matter col
umns shall be marked advertising"
This, however, has been done by
most papers for years aud therefore
affects only few.

Illogical Democracy.

The recent statement of Secretary
of Commerce Redfield that a ''reduc-
ton of wages as a result of tariff re-
vision is the easy resort of the in
efficient and the mark of poor man
agement," has prompted Albert Ull-
man to show the Inconsistencies of
the positions of the secretary and
his chief, President Wilson, on this
vital question of efficiency. He
brings out the point admirably in the
Manufacturing Jeweler when he
says: THE essential point of the
secretary's statement, it will be OBJ
served, touches the matter of eff
cheney In other words, the best
equipped, the most resourceful and
highest developed organization is to
be taken as criterion. Its cost of
production is to be accepted as the
standard for all the rest of the
community. Anything short of this
hight water mark will be regarded
with official condemnation--that is
inefficiency. whether due TO lack OF
capital, ingenuity, or any other
cause. will be considered as a spec
les of crime and subject TO govern
mental regulation. Following the
logic of the policy to its ultimate
conclusion 1t carries us to the big
plant, the plant of the trust, in or
der to find the most highly develop
ed degree OF efficiency. But accord
ing to President Wilson, the big
business is menace to the country
and is an institution that ought to
be destroyed. Here is confusion. in
deed. Obviously, the administration
is not at once with itself. One policy
leads up to the trust as the highest
type of efficiency and another policy
condemns and abhors the trust. In
the meantime an ever-increasing be-
wilderment descends upon the bust
ness community as each new procla-
nation isuses forth from official lips.

BOLT CUTS STAR IN LAWN
Lightning Digs Flower Bed When
Workman Failed.

South Orange, N. j., June Sin
the midst of the thunderstorm here
yesterday afternoon Mrs. Owen Nc
Cabe OF No. &C Stanley Road, heard
a deafening crash at the same in
slant that she saw a flash of lightn-
ing. She was too terrified to inves-
tigate and see what was struck, but
this morning when she walked out
on her front lawn she found that
the lighting had been doing her a
service. Mrs. McCabe had marked
out place for star shaped flower
bed in the middle of the lawn, hut
the man who was to dig it did not
appear.
The lightning bolt had struck in
the very middle of the intended
flower bed. ploughing a deep hole
and turning the sod as neatly as IL
IL had been done by a spade. II had
also spread out and dug the points
of the star. All that is necessary to
complete the bed is to trim up the
edges, sharpen the star points and
plant the flowers.

Vacancies at West Point.

The fact that. there are 80 vacan-
cies in the incoming class of the
United States military academy is a
portentous fact. In recent years the
complaint has been made of increas-
Ing difficulty at West Point in keep
ing classes anywhere near their full
quota. Responsibility for this condi-
ton has been attributed TO several
causes. chief among them being the
failure of congressman to make APP
pointments. For instance, con-
gresham would appoint a cadet and
an alternate from his district Meth
er the cadet nor the alternate would
pass the examination. but the con-
gresham would not take the trouble
to make another nomination.
This year 1t seems that the 30 va
csncies are due to the inability of
the candidates to pass the entrance
examinations. Consequently Secre-
tary Garrison has been Obliged to or.
der further examinations in July and
August. II may be necessary for
him to bring pressure TO bear on
members of Congress to induce them
to appoint candidates. There should
be a law allowing the president and
secretary of war to I'LL all vacancies
continuing for a reasonable period
say, six months. Il would seem
however. that the army has no long
er its old attractiyeness for ambiti
Gus young Americans Of the required
grade of intelligence.

A special meeting of the graded
school district has been called for
next Tuesday evening to see if the
district will vote to build a new
high school building on the Main
street lot recently purchased. To
erect building fitted to the needs
of the town will cost around $4,000
and means going into debt for the
cost. 1t seems like a big price to
pay, but in this respect Bennington
is no worse off than other towns of
its class. Practically every one of
them have had to build new school
buildings during the past few years
or are now preparing to build Over
a dozen of the larger towns and vii
lagos in this state have built new
schoolhouses within the past year.
ranging IN cost from $4,000 to $685.
900 according to the size of the town.
The situation in Bennington is at a
punt Wutl0 ooulclulii5 must NC uOuc.
Our high school has doubled in size
during the past ten years and is
steadily increasing. The school has
outgrown its quarters. This month
a class of about twenty graduates
and in the fall a new class of some
where between so and rs will enter.
1t can easily be seen that some
thing must be done. For two years
back the high school has been too
big for its quarters AS directed by
the voters the school trustees have
bought lot and secured plans from
some of the best architects in the
country. Next Tuesday evening the
voters will be called on to pass upon
the question. 1t is not matter to
be treated lightly or to be brushed
aside as of no importance. The dis
trict is to go forward or backward
and the mandate of the voters will
control. One thing sure is that If
we have a new building we should
have one that will be a credit to
the town. Let US have either a
good one or none at all.
