 And the worst of it i> that Sens decision has been scatter ed broadcast 10 the world through the columns of a Witchiia paper that maybe has a greater circulation than the local journal published at Medicine Hat. wherever that thriving metropolis may be.
 Like Max 0'Rell. the French author who condemned the regulations of a nations women in order to coin new epigram, Sen Bently condemned the Pa cifie Coast climate in order that he might embalm into immor- tal verse something about the seattle weather. Hark to the voice of Wichita:

 Sen Bently also is an analyst. lies deep. is Bently. He aa- alyzed Seattle and found that the taxes are higher than cats hack. but as Sen does not state whether Witchita relines have curvature of the spine, ole can gain but little knowl- edge from his altitudinous fig are of speech.

People are prone 70 get their Ideas
Of business conditions from impressions
that are erroneous. Cause and effect
are Frequently mismated in reaching
conclusions. For example, when we
read Of the curtailnent Of work in any
part of New England we are likely to
assume that times are hard in our own
community and 10 magnify every in
cident tending TO bear out this as
sumption. While it i true that bust
ness interests throughout this section
are more or less affected by the same
conditions il does not follow that dull
times in one locality are sure TO be
followed by depression in others There
are portions Of New England whcr,
trade conditions at present are indi
cative of temporary let-up, due nc
doubt to readiustments made necessary
by the changed industrial status, but
Brattleboro certainly is not suffering
IN this respect Times are good her,
and optimism Will help more than any
thing else in keeping them So
