Nursery of Greatness.
springfield Reporter. J

The Brattleboro Reformer has done
good work for the state by compiI
ing list of the eminent newspaper
men, and other literary lights of the
country, who served their novitiate in
one of the Brattleboro printing Offices.
Geographically the list extends from eX-
Lieut.. Gov. Frank +. Howe of the Ben
nington Banner to Burt Lesion Taylor
OF Chicago, and includes an array of
talent of which our sister town may
well be proud. The country newspaper
office might well be called the nursery
of greatness when one considers the
long array of men illustrious in state
and nation who began their career il
some small country office and there
learned to dream dreams they later
made true.

ANOTHER SHIFT OF OPINION

The Presidents inviting of Senator Galliger and of Representative Mann to discuss legislation is evidence of another shift of opinion on his part. In his Indianapolis speech, last winter, Mir. Wilson spoke of those who were then opposing the Wilson-McAdoo scheme for the purchase of ships and said that they were blind, misguided or ignorant. Senator Galliger and Mir. Mann were among the opponents of the ship-purchase bill. Under Sen ator Galliger's leadership the measure was beaten after the administration had damned it through the House. Neither Senator Galliger nor Mir. Mann has changed his position in the meantime. Yet the President seeks to consult with these blind, misguided and ignorant men!
 MT. Mann says that the President is in need not only of Republican votes but of Republican brains to help him out of his present position. This is true-but the wonder is that, after having used such language regarding the Republicans, the President should now be seeking their assistance.

WHY NOT BE FRANK?

"A fat treasury is no sign of sound statesmanship; if so, the present na- tional administration is a flat fail ure." This is from the Houston Post" Why qualify the assertion? Just leave off the Eff so" and state the bald truth that "the present na- tional administration is fiat failure" !"
 Most people are inclined to regard a treasury surplus as evidence of good administration. Most people are in- clined to think that an administration that can pay as it goes, that does not have to resort to petty direct and vex- atious taxation, is a success. Most people in this country have become accustomed to that kind of admin stration throughout the long periods of Republican control of the govern ment. Most people have come to un- derstand that "a fat treasury" never occurs under a Democratic admin stration. Most people associate lean treasury with democratic policies. So why not be frank about it?

A wholesome improvement has come over the papers of Northern Arizona during the past two years, welcome change from the days when our pa pers looked like they were slammed together with type that worked like broken horseshoe nails and printed in a hurry or a hay press, linked with soot. Our Mineral Wealth published at Kingman has recently installed a. Model 5 quick change linotype, one of the latest things in the way of type setting contrivances, in order to fur ther assist that booming mining coun- try to boom.

Will Governor Hunt be recalled? We'll give an expert opinion right now. No! We do not believe in his policies, but he has put them over. The democrats elected him, and we wouldn't sign recall petition against him on long, large bet. We have knocked his administration by and large when it didn't seem to fit. This purely American idea with US also occurred when it was republican gov ernor. The Sun will shine regardless of differences of opinion, but we are willing to shake hands with Governor Hunt in any big crowd that collects. Personally he's friend, but-durn some of his policies.

BRYAN SHOULD BE EARNED OUT

The conviction forces itself upon us that William Jennings Bryan would be an ideal selectman in backnumber country village. He would argue against the creation of fire depart ment on the ground that it would be a departure from time-honored tradi- tions, reversal of village policy, a menace to peace and safety and a challenge to firebugs and incendiaries. And in the discussions around the stove in the village store there would doubtless be more than ope prominent citizen to uphold MT. Bryan in his public-spirited attitude.

Some men seem to have the idea that a booster" is a fellow who will stand around on the street corner every day and advise other people of the best way to run town or their business; talking longer and louder than all the rest. They are willing to put all their lung power into "boost- ing" according to their idea, but they are down back alley with their hat pulled tightly over their ears and both hands on their pocket book when a subscription list is yet two blocks away. The real "booster" has grow ing business of his own, wants all to enjoy prosperity, and is willing to do his share for the good of the cause generally. The "booster" who is al- ways "boosting" his own boosting may be a "uster booster" but he is merely a nuisance today and wastes the time of the real booster"

Henry Ford's peace propaganda did not seem to take as well as his many Ford stories. Very often when man gathers up a few million dollars he seems to think he is just about the original nut around which all human ity twists. No, Hennerrey, all the money, notoriety and gasoline you have accumulated this far could not torpedo and sink the oder of one hunk of limburger cheese. On with the auto, but cut out that rough stuff where you shouldn't auto. This is an unentrenched joke.

The ineptitude of Democratic ad- ministration has again been demon strated in the manner of handling the charges preferred against Austro- Hungarian consular officers in this country. By permitting a statement to be published in which an implica- ton of guilt was made, this govern ment has been put in position where an apology may have to be made to the Austrian government. This, and other incidents, make the people long for an administration which will not have to apologize or to be apologized for. Happily, such an administration is coming before long.

LEGAL LAW IS LAWFUL

'Has the supreme court reversed it. self?" inquiries an exchange. No, brother, if you will wander back eighteen or twenty miles in the right hand isle of the law library shelves you will find in volume p. 1913, case of Rot vs. Degeneration ex rel, 8x16, also 2x4, that the facts stated by the defendant were not agreed upon by stipulation, were not proven because there was insufficient corroboratory evidence to fill sixteen legal size affi- dayits. Also, it is sited from Vol. XXLZ, two miles east of the aforesaid volume 1913, and, three paces to the left, (dig here) that no man living can prove that he is dead, unless, of course, as is granted, he can prove to the coroner's jury, which must be summoned immediately upon receipt of an affidavit of the deceased show ing why and how he is dead and set ting forth the reasons therefore. This is very clear and any novice who has studied law for several hundred years can readily understand the point we wish to make.

Fellow dropped into the office the other day and ordered the paper, and we were glad. Said it was more than worth the money to any man of in- telligence, and we were tickled. Said it was the mainstay of the town, and we were supertickled. Said it was the greatest booster and the most re- liable town builder and developer in this whole community, and we yelled with joy.

The decision in the U. S. senate against the cloture rule is correct.

it a diplomatic representative 10 Gen.
eral Carranza.
1t is believed in Washington the En-
ropean governments will follow the
lead of the United States.
The president is considering Rob
ert P. Skinner, who has been with
drawn as consul general in London
because Of British objections to the
character of trade reports he submit
ter to the state department. for APP
pointment as ambassador to the Car
rama government.
Diplomatic relations thus being re-
stored between the United States and
Mexico, as presided over by General
Carranza. President Wilson will enter
into negotiations for settlement of the
various questions which have arisen
as a result Of the revolutions that
have devastated the neighboring re
public"
1t will be the presidents duty, in
accordance with the obligations to the
head of friendly state, to prevent
the United States from serving as a
base for revolutionary movements.
He will issue a proclamation reap
plying the embargo on munitions, as
far as Mexico is concerned.
In other words, General Villa is no
longer to enjoy any support from this
country.
