HELPING JUDGE LINDSEY.

His many and desperate enemies al
ways manage to put Judge Ben l..
Lindsey in sueh a light before the
country that public confidence in his
integrity and Usefulness grows stead
lily as the years pass. What, for in
stance, could awaken more sympathy
for Denver's celebrated - kids Judge
than the threat to Jail him because he
will not tell another court what L.
yearold boy said to him in confidence
y husband was murdered and his
widow accused of the crime. Their
son, the lad in question, confessed that
he had killed his father. That gave
the mother her freedom and threw the
case into the Juvenile court, where
Lindsey presides. Whatever the doubts
and merits of the case, most people
will agree that Judge Lindsev's foes
play an unpopular game when they
prosecute him for keeping to himself
the details of his little friend confes-
sion. Their past performances en-
courage the belief that ultimate jus
tice Will not suffer through their down
fall

New England AS a Unit.
(Manchestes. Y H. Union.

thdnCneSIeI, y. H., Union.
More and more it is coming home t.
the business interests of New Eng
land that security in its industrial SUI
premacy in the United States may
only be achieved by treating New
England as unit and acting in that
spirit Taken altogether, New England
may become q positive leader in
many lines of industrial activity
where such leadership is impossible if
and refuse to cooperate. Acting as a
body, New England commands respect
in the business world When one OF
the states, or a group in any single
state, attempts to secure recognition If
is inevitably overshadOwed by similar
interests elsewhere.
Furthermore, cooperation in New
England is much easier than it is, for
instance, in the Chicago region The
population is more dense, the region is
more compact, distances are shorter
and the business men of New England
feel they have more interests in com
mon than is felt in a region not thus
favored by nature. Ever since indus
trial development began in the United
States, New England has been thu
workshop of the nation. This indus
trial primacy is challenged today as
never before If we arc to preserve
leadership and maintain our prestige
all of New England must learn t.
work together From such cooperation
only can we hope to prevent New Eng
lands dOminancy in industry passing

The Barton Monitor is absolutely sure
that the local option law is a failure
The Monitor might ask itself the ques-
ton whether Orleans county would be
any better with a change to some 9TH
er law. Perhaps the people who live
IN Rutland and Bennington counties
know more about conditions there than
the residents of Barton. y change
would not affect Orleans county, but
it would make a decided difference in
some other localities where the home
residents do not want a change.

pedal on movement started by his
