man from Cork was going to address a
mass meeting in city hall that night,
when, as matter OF fact, the man from
Cork gave his lecture week before and
only on election issues, as the correspond
ent would have noted had he given the
poster more than passing notice. But,
as we stated at the outset, it has been
our observation of The Free Press that
it does not deliberately print false or
even distorted statements; nor has it
become established as one OF the "yel-
lows" OF journalism as one might have
been led to suspect on reading the dis
patch after having observed some OF the
events described and having known the
conditions. And too, we agree with the
contemporary that it is an impossibility
to prevent all inaccuracies.

There will be very vigorous support
of the following declaration by the
Springfield tMassl Republican; "Men
are speculating as to whether the United
States may not be drawn into this hide
Gus conflict. There is only one answer
to that-she must not be The people
can control the outcome, and this they
must do" Words nearer the truth were
never spoken; the people can control il
they will And the people Of the United
States do not want to be drawn into the
conflicts and to that end they urge their
officials not to throw the country into a
position from which it cannot recede
without distinct loss of honor. This war
is not the war of the United States by
any means.

windham county's Jail Expenditure.

The Barre Times does well to warn
Washington county against the PROPOSE
ton to levy a special tax to provide for
improvements on the county jail. Wind
ham county has just been through such
an experience and as a result of the ex-
travagant policy of the state board of
health, a special tax Of three cents viii
be levied ON the grand list Of this county
for two years Since the cost and nature
of the jail improvements have become
known, there is a strong feeling here
abouts that the county officers would
have been justified in standing out
against the orders OF the state board of
health as unreasonable and excessive.
A test case to determine the power of
the board to enforce its recommends.

When SO per cent. Of the voters go to
the polls, little fault can be found with
the sense of personal responsibility felt
BY the electorate. Such was the case in
Barre on Tuesday. The 335 voters who
did not go to the polls for various rea-
sons find themselves SO far in the minor
ity that another year they should be
anxious to join the majority in the march
to the polling places.
