Here is d little matter that should
be of interest to quite a number of
our readers who have had dealings
with he parties in question in DAYS
gone by, some of the occasions be-.
ing such as to lead them to believe
that there might be plenty of truth
in the charges. This only goes to
show that the eastern mail.order
houses do not makea practice of
giving something for nothing and
that the buyer nearly always gets
simply what he pays for from them.
In dealing with local merchants the
chef difference appears to be that
often the buyer gets what he doesn't
pay for. Any way. here is the ar

Linton Building Up.

With the approach of the cold
weather there is general scramble
locally to complete building opera
tions, in many instances work being
only well begun. This year has
been good one for the Emmons
county capital in building way
and number of neat, substantial
residences have been built and the
business section is gradually filling
up.
The year started out with build
ing operations confined chiefly to
the northern part of thetown where
M ssrs. Fred and Arthur Johnston
baugh and Mike Meier each provid-
ed for themselves modern cottages.
These houses were constructed dur
ing the cold weather. During the
summer Henry johnson had erected
in East Linton just north Of the 81
mer Fogle residence fine residence
building finished with cement SIM
liar to the Office of the Thompson
Yards. Inc. Valentine Kremer and
Chris Zacher are on the list, too, the
formers place being located just
east of the Goodridge-Call yards and
the latter is near the Fred kelsch
home. These buildings are nearly
finished and their erection give cause
for various rulnors Of wedding bells
to ring as neither of the owners are
married men.
Will Lee has enlarged his resi-
dence in East Linton considerably.
providing himself with a roomy.
comfortable home. Marion Burge
has modern residence building
started and Aug. SchorZmant has
been delayed only by the lack OF
help.
In the business district Harry
Haugse has completed n beautiful
blacksmith and machine shop OF
ffty-foot front, a tire-proof struc'
ture finished in cement. The North
western Auto Company people are
having a fifty-foot building erected
on Broadway just north of the Pal
mer restaurant. This structure is
to have pressed brick front, with
tile for the walls. There is also
possibility of q fifty-foot store build
ing being built just to the north Of
this place and should the plans ma
terialize it would mean brick
block of one hundred feet front
which would help materially in i'm
proving the lower part of Broad
way.
These are the more extensive i'm
provements. although there have
been other small additions and al
tera,ions tending to improve thu
looks of the city generally.
If nothing happens to destroy tn
excellent crop prospects of thu ter

them, THIS law il only following
out tho general plan WHICH is being
adopted all oyer the United States
and which is accepted as right in
principle and easy to execute in
practice. Just how it can be pos
sIble to refuse the legislature the
constitutional right to provide for
families which are in need of sup
port is not clear to the writer. We
have never heard 1t charged that
constitutionally the county has no
right to provide Cor the poor. This
Law is but very little different in
actual practice. Nothing is more
to he desired or in keeping with ad-
vanced thought than the proper pro-
vision for little tots that are depen-
dent upon mother only for sup
port, the time Of the parent nearly
always being really needed simply
to care for the children without en-.
tering the lists az competitor for
means of livelihood. The Record
can heartily egrse with the senti.

the New Rockford Transcript. and
it is more especially to the point
that the said county judge is not.

unitarian instincts to a greater de-
gree than seems to be the case. True
enough. his duty to his county re-
quires that he use care in handing
out financial support where it is un-
deserved. But to declare the entire
proposition unconstitutional is an
unwarranted assumption on the part
of the "jltney Judge" Editor o.
son remarks ancnt the matter are
as follows:
And what do you think about it?
The last legislature passed Moth

lawyers in the Legislature, ond by

law is in force in several other
states. Now comes the county

county and declares the law uncon-
, stitutional. He doubtless so ruled

saries of life. cannot afford an ap-
peal toa more humane court. In

legislature and leave the constitu.

A few days since one of the Rec
ord's readers, who lives in the
northeastern part Of the county.
dropped in for few minutes visit
and further gladdened the editors
heart by handing him two new sub.
scriptions that he had secured from
neighbors while visiting with them.
Another friend of the Record in the
south half of the county has sent US
about two dozen new readers in
little over year simply by men,
tioning the subject to neighbors
when the occasion arose 1t goes
without saying that these efforts
are greatly appreciated by the one
who is trying to give the people of
the county newspaper that is not
afraid Of the biggest man in the
county and to whom they all look
alike when matters of publicity are
concerned.
1t isn't the easiest thing in the
world for newspaper to be abso-
lutely independent and many a good
fellow in this line of work decides
to follow the course of least resist
ance. Ia the matter Of dollars and
cents such course often brings the
best results. However. on the 9th.
er hand. the mission Of country
newspaper and most especially one
at the county seat. is to give as near
~ as possible all the news in which
the reading public of the county is
interested. In the nature of things,
there are great many matters OF
which the editor knows in a more or
less uncertain way that it is not al
ways possiblet TO put in print. The
fact that a thing is so will not al.
ways protect the newspaper man
He must be able to prove it to he so
if need be Hence. the easy way is
to let slide all matters of ''touchy'
nature Not so. this newspaper?
1t is the aim Of the Emmon.
County Record and ambition of it,
publisher to carry in print all gen
era news usually found in coun
try county-seat weekly. 1t aims t
handle wi'hout gloves all publ,
men and matters. The gentleman

is answerable to the general publ,
for his conduct and is only placed

tory for the United States.
Germany accepts the proposal to Ak
damages by commission and to let
The Hague pass upon disputed treaty

surances that no mere American ships
carrying conditional ccntraband will
be destroyed under any circumstances.
American ships CARRYING contraband,
however, still may be destroyed. What
effect this can have i'll practical opera
ton is problematical, because Germany

American ships to determine what car

practically sure that none will be at

for passengers and crew to be trans.
ferred irrespective of the cargo.
Considered with reference to the
entire controversy between Germany

is regarded us an indication that the
Berlin foreign Office is anxious to
avert break with the Washington

worth.
In short, the Record has been con-
Quoted By its present editor as
nearly as possible along the lines set
forth above. 1t has been con-
demned by many. misunderstood by
some and upheld by most of its
readers for following such course.
A heartfelt desire on the part OF its
editor to see the county freed of
liquor-soaked politics and exploita-
tion of personal and county inter
ests for the benefit of those so for
tunate as to hoodwink q majority of
the voters has actuated the writer
in conducting strenuous campripn
against the unworthy ones. As
was expected. this course has turned
passive friendship into an undying
enmity as far az those interests are
concerned Ii has caused the Rec.
ord to go through competitive
struggle which for few weeks an
peared serious. 1t has caused the
paper to surmount all obstacles ana
the present time finds it stronger
financially and in every other way
with the reading public of the coun-
ty than during any other time since
the present publisher assumed con.
| troll.
Some of the things for which the
Record has striven editorially are
being realized. The liquor organi-
cation has been broken up by plenty
of publicity. although it is not com.
pletely cleaned out as yet. Public
servants. large and small, appreci.
ate thoroughly the fact that their
actions will be reviewed in prin,
where they fall short of what the
public Is entitled to expect.
In conclusion, here is what we ash

CURRENT COMMENT
The Outlook Brightens.

Unless all signs are misleading, Sec.
Daniels will prove to have had small
need of making his belated appeal to the
nation for support in his newly acquired
enthusiasm for larger and more ade-
quate navy-"a navy steadily increased
in size and efficiency so that it will be
ready to defend the country against at
tack from any quarter" The nation has
been making that self same appeal to
Sec Daniels, to Pres. Wilson and TO Con-
gress, for many moons. Now that the
secretary OF the navy has been converted
from an obstructionist into an enthusi-
astic advocate of naval preparedness, the
prospect may be said to have frightened
considerably; for the attitude of the head
of the navy department is bound to carry
weight with Congress when the matter
of naval appropriations comes before that
body.
The naval maneuvers in Massachusetts,
bay on Wednesday appear to have fired
Sec. Daniels blood to some extent,
though there is reason to believe that he
was already emerging from his burrow
of exasperating eomplaceney before he
witnessed the maneuvers. How one in
his official position could have remained
so long deaf and blind to naval needs is
a mystery. BE that as it may, present
are that another voice-an
one, too--will be added to the |
millions that have been calling on Con-
gress for the wherewithal to increase the |
efficiency of the navy to point where it
shall inspire wholesome respect on the
part of foreign nations.
The lessons of the European war have
been and still are obvious; it remains to
be seen whether, as See. Daniels SAYS,
hey have been well learned and taken
seriously to heart. The next session of
congress, by the manner and size OF its
naval appropriations, will go far towards
this Observation-Disclosures

Vermont is being well advertised in the
trip suggested by the Automobile Club of
America, which points out to prospective
tourists the charms of a journey from
New York through western Connecticut,
the Massachusetts, Berkshires, thence up
the west side of Vermont, through Ben
nington, Manchester, Rutland and Bur-
lngton, across the state either by way
of Montpelier or by Newport and Will
loughby lake to Littleton, N. H., and
down the Connecticut valley via Clare
mont, Walpole, Brattleboro and North
field. Vermont automobiles who desire
a short vacation would gain new ideas
about their own state if they made the
trip from their homes over the course in
this state as outlined by the influential
club "See America first" is a popular
slogan at the present time, and the way
to start is to see your own state.-Brat
tleboro Reformer.
When you are making out itineraries
through Vermont, neighbor, do not fail to
state specifically that one of the finest
trips both as to scenery and highway
conditions is from Barre southwark
through Williamstown gulf, past the
Brookfields, Randolph and Royaltons to
White River Junction and thence to your
own town. All things considered, this
route cannot be excelled in Vermont. |
Those who are motoring for pleasure or
for business viii find this route just
suited to their demands-hard, smooth
roads, enhancing views, hospitable peo-
pie. In short, they viii find things to
their liking. Therefore, don't leave this
route out of the reckoning.
