FREEDOM OF PRESS AND IN
FLUENCES THAT ASSAIL ii

Believing with Thomas Jefferson
that publicity through the press is one
of the essentials Of republican form
of government and the safety Of dem.
ocratic institutions, and that an editor
is not only following private calling
but also filling a public trust, with a
deep obligation to the community and
the commonwealth, we naturally stand
for an unmuzzled press.
In the early days Of the newspaper
kings and royal governors were wont
TO suppress journal when it became
too outspoken in criticising the acts OF
government and championing more
democratic measures and policies, and
to conhscate its property. With the
development Of the American republic
this abuse was naturally among the
first 10 receive attention at the hands
Of the fathers, and the national consti-
tuition as well as the Vermont consti-
tuition provided for freedom Of the
press.

II Certainly Was Good

One Of the best talks the Vermont
Press association has ever heard was
given at the annual meeting Friday by
F. w. Mitchell, manager Of the Nc
Cuen store in Montpelier. He was the
advertising manager of big city
store five years before engaging in
business for himself in this state. He
spoke from the standpoint of the mer-
chant who advertises. He is an en-
thusiast on publicity and believes that
the only advertising of value to the
local dealer is through the newspapers.
He did not attempt to gain the favor
of his audience by serving them taffy,
but handed out criticism freely, show
ing how the publisher should assist
and advise the advertiser. He gave
striking illustrations of good and bad
styles of advertising, emphasizing the
point that the advertiser in the col
umns of the newspapers ought to talk
to people about his goods just as he
would talk to prospective customers in
his town store.-Reformer.

DEAR OLD VERMONT!
Address Of John NJ. Thomas to d. A.
X. at MONTPELIER

X. at Montpelier
Dear old Vermont!--to the hurry
ing traveller along her eastern and
western highways, a wilderness Of
wild mountains with narrow fore
ground Of meager farms; but to those
who know her defiles and passes net
work of fertile valleys, smiling in
plenty and content:
Baptized in struggle and bred to d.
plomacy and war, her children fighters
all; yet as true lover Of peace as ever
lived beside great hills:
Cautious, close-mouthed, secretive,
trained by bitter experience to the
wisdom Of suspicion; yet opening her
heart TO her friends with the candor
Of child:
Excelled by none in unity and broth
erhood when reused TO a common
cause; then lapsing by reaction to
jealousy and neighbor hate when
times are tame and dull:
Never less defeated than when her
case has gone against her, and always
prompt with motion TO reconsider:
The passions Of two peoples strug-
Cling within her the stable East and
the restless West:
Loving her mountain sod with devo-
ton unsurpassed in any land beside
the seven seas, yet thrusting her chill
dren out TO better country--a moth
er Of pioneers.
Brave and self-sacrificing TO fault,
proud and self-reliant; yet in her
secret heart an underlying fear born
Of the bitterest disappointments that
ever attended the birth Of state:
Land Of contradictions TO her
friends from without and TO all who
seek TO put her genius into words; but
TO those who know her and 10 whom
she accords her love, Straightforward
and single in loyalty to her mission:
dear old Vermont

Good Things in Store

James H. Mcdonald, who was state
highway commissioner of Connecticut
II years, made deep impression upon
the 60 men who were so fortunate as
to attend the banquet of the Vermont
Press association in Montpelier Friday
night. Mr.. Mcdonald looks like a
priest and speaks with all of the finish
of trained orator, although he is
best known as one of the most effici-
ent road builders the country has pro-
duced. He expressed strong approval
of Vermont's highway policy, as de-
veloped by the present governor,
Charles W. Gates, commencing the
building of gravel roads, which are in
expensive in comparison with ma
cadam and possess the advantages of
being more resilient. Mr.. Mcdonald
aroused curiosity by intimating that
a great honor is in store for Governor
Gates, but said the secret was not en-
tirely his own at this time. The Mont
pelier Argus representative tried later
to interview Mr.. Mcdonald, but he re-
fused to divulge exactly what he
meant. The Argus is of the opinion,
however, that Governor Gates is to be
selected as one of the half dozen men
of the entire country at the head of
tn national highway commission.-.R Re-

Chief Justice Lo,eland Munson

The Journal wishes to extend its
congratulations to the Hon. Loveland
Nunson upon his elevation to the high
est place in the judicial life Of the
State of Vermont. 1t is a worthy
recognition Of the honest, conscien-
tious labors Of over 40 years, % of
which have been spent on the bench
OF the Supreme Court.
The editor Of the Journal was for
tunate enough to be present at the
session of the Legislature last Thurs
day when Judge Munson was restored
to the bench which he had so gracious
ly adorned for so many years, and 1t
was very evident that the people of
Vermont felt, as did Judge Munson's
personal friends, that grave injus-
tice had been done a most worthy man
and that the sooner this matter was
adjusted to their satisfaction the bet
ter for justice.

The Journal wishes also to take this
manner Of paying its respects to
the Hon. Robert +. Healy of Benning-
ton, who was retired at this time, and
commend the manner in which the ac-
ton of the legislature was taken by
that gentleman. The following from
the Rutland Herald fully expresses our
sentiments in the matter:
mo one energies from the recent
judgeship tangle with more sincere
respect on the part of the legislators
and the people of Vermont than Rob-
ert 4. Healy. Retiring to private
practice as the result of the restora-
ton of the old court, he carries with
him an enviable record of modest de-
pertinent, clear judgment and straight
forwardness that mark him as COM
ing man. He loses nothing and gains
a very sensible prestige by his brief
and creditable incumbency of a Su-
preme judgeship."

ueClioIl WIFI Tie hdsSdCHuStlts LeBls-
lature showed the different ways
through which the Mellen regime had
endeavored to influence the press, with
press agent to prepare matter for
publication in some instances even as
editorial and supposed to be the utter
ance of the editor himself. II was
shown that the New Haven manage
ment of that time had even got hold of
some of the men at work for various
papers, whose editors may have known
nothing about this underground con-
nection with their news columns.
This is positively the most danger
Gus Of all interferences with the press.
As we have already said, it is not what
an editor thinks about things but
news Of what is going on that really
constitutes the potency Of the press as
a tribune Of liberty and progress in
government, and the influence which
prevents the public from knowing
what is going on, or distorts that in
formation so as to mislead the public
is the most insidious enemy of the true
freedom Of the press, and public in
telligence.
We are proud to say that SO far as
we know the Vermont Legislative ses-
sions have happily escaped this abuse.
