N Is there any good reason why these children

Is there any excuse why they should know the

THE HUMAN TOUCH.

A small Vermont paper contains the
following brief but courageous para
graph, suggesting that the editor is a
man of conviction. He says:
When a metropolitan newspaper
devotes considerable space on it's front
page theorizing on where Vincent AS
tor is going on his wedding tour, with
the date of the wedding not even an
nounced, we guess we are entitled to
say that Mr.. Jones has painted his hen
house"
Almost anyone will agree with this
assertion. says the Des Moines Regis
ter and Leader. The Barre Times of
Vermont, or the small town paper of
any other state. has a perfect right to
say that the Jones henhouse has been
painted, or the Smith twins are doing
well, Or any other of the intimate.
neighborhood gossip that the inhabi-
tants of the small town will be inter-
ested to hear.
Likewise, the New Yorker enjoys the
latest news of the Astors or other
persons who have climbed high enough
on the ladder of wealth or position or
attainment of some sort to demand
general recognition. New York may
have outgrown the henhouse item, but
not the news story which has at bot
tom the same fundamentally human
touch.
It is this basic commonality OF inter
