PHANTOM FORTUNES

PHANTOM FORTUNES
Barney Bernard, the original ABE
Potash" in "Pota sh and Perlmutter,"
one of the most successful comedies
that ever appeared on Broadway,
shows conclusively that he is the
greatest Hebrew comedian in .Phan-
tom Fortunes" at the Rialto today.
Although Barney Bernard is the par
ticular star in this unusual picture,
he is not the only one that demon
strates the fact that real actors OF
the highest type were employed in this
production. Phantom Fortunes is
a play well worth while and unusual
in its plot There is a lot of comedy
mixed up in the production as we'll
as pathos and laughter.

THE COUNT"

Charles Chaplin in THE Count" at
the Odeon One, packed this picture
house to its utmost capacity all day
yesterday. 1.-The Count" will be re-
peated today. No comedy picture
that this clever actor has appeared in
up to date is the equal of THE
Count" To see Charlie Chaplin
skate upon a highly waxed ballroom
floor and dance at the same time with
really clever looking girl is enough
to make one cry with laughter A
laugh a minute is the programme at
the Oedon One today.

I'm Going To-"

Of all the things that will curse
the reputation of the person who
makes such a remark is: Pm Co
ing To-"
This remark CRATES upon the
nerves of all who have to listen to
it, and points the utterer out as a
buffer and a sluggard. No one
cares much about what you are 60
ing to do. 1t is what they actually
see you doing that will make people
notice you.
The man in the town who is al
ways proclaiming about the wonder
full things that he is going to do
next week or next year will be a
laughing stock among young and
old until he really starts to do it. -

Foolish But Brave.

Ernest Schiller, alias Clarence r.
Dodson, who had laugh on the en-
tire crew of British ship as he held
them up and seized the vessel, does
not perhaps see the joke of being
compelled to spend the remainder of
his life in prison. While the thing
was on his side, it was great fun,
however. But it is always the last
laugh that is the best. Il Barre
Times.
When one man can hold up an en-
tire ships crew and make fools of
them as Schiller did, he surely should
have received a gold medal instead
Of a prison sentence. 1t almost
looks as if he was the bravest man
on board even though the most
foolish.

Cleanup Day May 9th.

This is the time of year when
civic improvements take the lead over
politics. "Wake-up." Cleanup ~
are watchwords not to be ignored.
Followed up they mean more than
the term applies; because, back Of it
all is health, and happiness, and
prosperity, and good cheer. That
Cleanliness is next to Goodness" is
being proven more and more as
civic improvements move on. To-
day, looking upon d shabby, un-
kempt town we see a fault. There is
no question about tive all know
the fault. As a permanent abode
we would shun such a tOwn-be-
cause of the fault. The day has
gone by for a town to resemble the
shambles, intelligent citizenship will
not allow it. A town we'll groomed
with flower beds, green lawns and
clean streets upIifts the town in the
eyes of those who look upon it. 1t is
an advertiser, so to speak. And the
effect of it is far-reaching. We
never realized this more forcibly
than last season while riding over
the different county roads. Clean
houses, dooryards and beds of
flowers on every hand What ad-
vertisers they were 1t is what
will bring tourists into our state
keeping up the highways, making
the farm surroundings tidy, and
ornamenting our towns. Every
road leading into a town should
have the word Welcome" hung
across it. We saw this with rela-
ton to one town and it appealed to
US. Neither should it be a false
sign. The welcome should be back
of it, hale and hearty and direct
from the heart. Our town is no ex.
ception to others in this cleanup
work, but of course it is our town"
that interests us.

some people think. Somebody feels
grieved because something gets into

If something is left ou.-especially
if it is some form of publicity which

know nothing about the conduct of
a newspaper, the value of its space

valuable space for nothing, and

Facts About the Primary.

1t is significant that the advocates
of the direct primary have practi-
cally admitted that the first test of
the law on May 10Th will be a fasco.
i Rutland Herald.
There will be no test of the direct
primary May 16. The first trial of
the direct primary in Vermont takes
place on September IL. If the Her
aid has editorially spoken one SEN
tence of truth about the primary at
any time it has escaped our atten-
ton. Judging from its past record
it appears safe to assume that what
ever the Herald says on the subject
is based on prejudice and its state
ments chiefly without foundation
Bennington Banner.
If the Banner were required to
defend such a charge before jury
it would not last ten minutes. More
over, it does not mean that The Her.
aid is Systematically lying about the
primary. 1t knows better.
The fact is that The Herald is
giving some time and trouble to
showing up he mistakes in the pri-
mary, some serious and some conf
cal, while the Banners sole argu-
ment lately has been to accuse this
paper of untruthfulness and inven-
ton.
Was The Herald lying when it
cited the attorney-genera's opinion
that candidate must give assent
in writing before his name can be
printed on the ballot?
Was it lying when it called atten.
ton to the need of having each in
dividual petition signed and sworn
to before a notary?
Was it lying when it noted that il
would require more signatures t
run for county senator in Rutland
county than to run for United States
senator?
Was it lying when it enumerated
the six political events of 1916, fou
of which are primary requirements
Is it false or true that in addition
to town meetings, already held, w
must hold (1) a presidential primar.

We know but little about the
primary or its possible results; and
from all the arguments already ad-
vanced it would seem TO be about as
much as anybody else knows. A
test of the law, is the only way to
bring its merits out-if it has any.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1916-04-28

ventions to write platforms and
nominate presidential electors, and
(5) regular November elections?
When this precious primary bill
was pending The Herald sought to
point out its deficiencies and was
bluntly told by the Banner that it
knew nothing about primaries and
was prejudiced. The Banner, sew
eral other state papers. and certain
wellknown public men were chiefly
instrumental in getting the primary
adopted. They did a thorough and
workmanlike job, but they will
never succeed in getting The Her
aid to say it is a good law, funda-
mentally or otherwise, because it is
not.
Furthermore, it was never intend
ed to be a good law!
Just watch its workings and null
over that statement. - Rutland Her

Protection of vermont Lakes and
Their Resources.


Power interests are attempting to
secure by purchase or otherwise the
consent of property owners on Gro
ton pond to the end that the level of
the water be raised ten feet for in
creased storage. Cottagers' and
others who have real estate on the
shores of that body of water will
have to move if the level is raised.
A similar proposition is apt to face
property owners contiguous to any
pond or lake in the state as the
hydro-electro development of Yer
mont increases.
Raising the height of water in a
pond does not seem to be a matter
of as great Importance, however, as
does lowering it. State Fish and

appreciation on the part of the re-

We Don't Hear 1t Now.
About five years ago, when copy
for the Sunday editions of the
metropolitan papers was scarce,
some fertile mind would get up a
readable story about the "Decad-
ence of Vermont" 1t was always
good copy, furnished plenty of
after discussion, but did not serious
ly jar the nervous systems of the
people of Vermont.
Times are changing in Vermont
now. 1t is poor place for the gold
brick man to come to; promoters Of
shady propositions fight shy of it,
and dealers in Western securities
are finding it difficult to get ridden
of their worthless truck by means
of rainbow literature scattered
broadcast over Vermont.
What has brought about the
great change is the fact that Yer.
monters are investing their money
in Vermont.
They should keep on investing il
in Vermont, and in a few more
years the Sunday newspapers will
have a tale to tell that has differ
ent coloring than heretofore has
embellished any of their efforts

1 SURE-ENOUGn PRESIDENT

The board of trustees of Missis-
sispi's higher educational insti-
tutions has placed a real educator
at the head of the A. & NJ. Col
lege.
The election yesterday of Prof.
w. III. Smith to the presidency of
of this institution is a step forward.
Regardless of the fact that the
removal of President High.ower
was inspired by political enmity
due chiefly to the determination of
Governo Bilbo to get him out of
office, the result must be applauded.
The placing of Hightnwer in
the presidents chair at the A. &
NJ. was a serious mistlke. He
was wholly untitled for this re-
sponsible Office, lacking both the
mental and temperamental quaIi-
fications so essential for work of
that character and the fact that
affairs at the college have moved
along rather smoothly during the
past two or three years can be
credited to the faculty, and not to
the presidency.
Prof. Smith will be a president
worth while. He is big man in
every sense of the word. possessing
all of the qualifications so badly
needed at Starkville, and it can
be predicted with confidence that
when he takes charge it will be
the beginning of q wonderful era
of constructive work for the insti-
tution.-Jackson Daily News.
