mouth in the shape of an outside eel
lar door and allowing a pent-up vocabu-
larry TO escape. There are some vocabu-
laries which would be sentenced to soil
tary confinement for life, if vote of
the community could be taken, but
sometimes these are the first - escape.
1t is an appalling sight to see a natu-
rally timid vocabulary which has had
too many highballs break loose from
its surroundings and scatter epithets
and hiceoughs on the night air.
As rule, women are equipped By
bountiful nature with more talk than
men and possess a better delivery. Nan
is slow thinker and cannot discharge
his thoughts with the deadly precision
and rapid-fre staccato of the female #
the species. This shows that m n ,:
boosted superiority over woman is a
ghastly attempt to be funny at the ex
pense of truth and Justice.
Talk was originally intended to be
used in conveying thought, but at time.
it seems as if it preferred to trave
alone. If we would all cultivate the
habit of aiming orr talk at the sub
iect in hand and then letting go in
prompt and noiseless manner, there
would be fewer gossip-stricken homes
church quarrels and divorce duels.

General Charles Roques is the new
war minister of France. He has taken
the place of General Gallieni, who has
just given up the office.
General Charles Roques was chiefly
known before the war as the father of
French military aviation. For several
years he was inspector general of the
aviation service, and is considered to
have done more to give France an eff
cient aviation service than any other
man in France. 1t is noteworthy that
the French aviation service has been
the subject of sharp criticism within
the past few months and that Rene
Besnard, deputy minister of war for
aviation, was driven to resign not
long ago. General Roques is Breton
by descent.

The Fitchburg Sentinel is very posi-
tive about the Republican political sit
uation. 1t goes the limit in the follow
ing announcements: What adds to the
Hughes strength is that every poll
tician knows that it is not manufac-
tured. 1t rests upon the abilities
of the man and there is no reason to
believe that he has secret agents work
ing up his case for him, or that he
would make use of such methods OF
publicity as Roosevelt practices. There
seems to be a singularly loud and unit
ed call for the nomination of Hughes
and if this situation continues muel
longer there viii be nothing for the
Chicago convention to do but to turn
into a ratification meeting

The Real Responsibility.
Springfield Reporter. J

kSpi4il ic1u
In commenting upon The Reporter S
challenge to an educative campaign
for the enforcement of the present re
strictive features of the local option
law The Reformer of Brattleboro APP
proves, and PIECES cooperation along
that line, as have many other papers
of the state. All of which is most en-
couraging.
The Reformer says, There never
was a time when it was more clearly
the opportunity and the duty, not only
of the newspapers, but of every one
who believes in temperance law en-
foreement, to actively support and
strengthen this sentiment
Later on The Reformer pertinently
says, mot only must bootleggers and
obscure dives be summarily dealt with,
but there must be no favoritism high
er up-not if we want public senti-
ment to stay behind the law This
is a truth that cannot be emphasized
too strongly, and The Reporter gives
this dictum of The Reformer its
strongest commendation
In closing The Reformer pertinently
observes:
Beyond this, the really essential
point: We have had long time OF
writing and talking and preaching
about liquor laws and methods for con
troll, and we have found out what the
people of Vermont want. Now let
press and pulpit, and spellbinders ant
men and women, in preecpt and prac
? tice, put the emphasis where it be
longs: on the inculcation of temper
t ance principles that mean something
and against habits and practices whieI
spell ruin in the end. The final re
sponsibility is on us all as individuals
and not on the law.
: This also is truth that cannot b
set forth too often or too forcefullv
Without any law at all saloons coul,
: be put out of existence, root an,
1 branch, once and for al, if men woul,
\ cease to patronize them. Personal al
stinence viii settle the whole temper
: ance problem if enough people vii
: practice it. And the number dom
e this now is larger than ever befor,
/ And it viii be larger yet before it

Get Out of the Rut.
Bennington Banner. !


Editor John T. Cuehing of the ST. Al
bans Messenger has gone on three
weeks trip to Cuba. 1t used to be
customary for church congregations to
take up a collection and send their
minister on a trip IN the hope that he
would bring home a few new ideas. We
presume the readers of the Messenger
adopted a similar plan. At any rate
theirs viii be the profit. An editorial
writer, a clergyman, or a public speak
| er, who doesn t travel and mix
with people and ideas new to him, be-
comes stale, his line of work falls in
| to a rut, and his horizon is soon linn
tied to his own narrow circle General
/ " country editors cannot afford to
travel extensively and too many of
them are inclined to hive themselves
up with a few books and petty inter
ests. 1t ought to be rule of the game
that they should spend fair share of
their time away from home. The
freshness, vigor and variety of their
writings would be enough greater to
warrant the effort.
