Upholds Right to Criticise
Courts

The right of the press to criticise courts
was upheld by Judge Lamm of Missouri
in a recent address at the annual meet
ing of the Missouri State Bar Associ-
alton. Among other things, this learned
judge said:-
Courts are mans invention, the re-
suit of a slow evolution, and are human
institutions The courts have human
limitations and frailties, hence are liable
to err and stand to have their errors
hammered out on the anvil OF public dis.
cussions and cured by exposures. 1t is
vain to contend they are immune from
just scrutiny and criticism to keep them
up to high efficiency of service. main
tain the proposition that free people,
and therefore free press. may examine
discuss, question or defend the doctrines
and acts of their courts. do not be
lieve that great courts and judges inn
pugn this general rule or seek its mod
ifcation."

For Lieutenant Governor

This paper stated last week that when
the proper time came Lamoille county
would furnish candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for Lieutenant Gov.
ernor. Judging from the several names
suggested for this position by CORE
spondents of the Burlington Free Press,
the proper time has come for Lamoille
county to speak, and therefore we are
presenting herewith the name of one WHO
is in every way emeinently fitted for the
position. That person is Hon. Roger w.
Hulburd of Hyde Park Mr.. Hulburd
has an extensive state acquaintance, his
his ability to fill the position of Lieuten.
ant Governor no one will doubt. He has
served on important committees in both
branches of the Legislature, has been
member of the state penal board, and has
filled varions town and county Offices.
We would notin any way dlsparage the
fitness and qualifications of the four Bur-
lington men mentioned for this position.
all are men of ability and we'll fitted for
the place. Nevertheless. if the party
wants one who has been its true friend,
one who has labored in season and out
of season for its success, one who has
always stood by the nominees, and, bet
ter than all else, one who has every quail.
ihcation for well and honorably filling this
important position, it can find such one
in Roger w. Hulburd.

Honor for the Pioneer

The New York Sun urges the country
not to forget that to the Hon Augustus
p. Gardner of the Sixth Massachusetts,
Congressional district" is due more than
to any other one man the credit for the
country's awakening to it's pitiable
plight in the matter of preparedness to
meet military aggression"
Also it must not be forgotten that
when the same Mr. Gardner called the
country's attention to the defects in our
military establishment, he was the tar
get for the ridicule, abuse and vilifica-
ton of officialdom of Washington. His
criticism of the navy was denounced Sc
verely by Secretary Daniels and Admin
istration papers lampooned the Con-
gresham, commonly called "Gussie,"
and held him up before the nation as a
funny joke. After one U. S. submarine
had sunk with twenty-five American
sailors, and later when all the undersea
vessels of this class were taken from
commission because of structural defects,
the country awoke to the fact that Mr..
Gardner knew what he was talking
about, and that he had better knowl.
edge of the navy than the head of that
department.
And now we discover President Wilson
and his administration heads pledged to
program whcih involves an enormous
expenditure to insure national security.
This is a wise and patriotic policy and is
supported by public sentiment. But the
Administration goes even further than
Mr.. Gardner ever dared in the matter of
safeguarding the nation, and most of
the critics of Mr.. Gardner are now com.
mending the President.
But the country will not forget the
the debt it owes to the Massachusetts
Congressman, who was the pioneer adj
vocate of preparedness and could not be
driven off the boards by the sneers and
gibes of sycophantic officials in high
places, who now endorse the policy
which he so earnestly and persistently
urged.
