A Minute 70 Think.

Governor Edge has given hearty ap-
proval to the suggestion of the Nation
al School Camp Association of New
York, for the cessation of work for one
minute at noon Memorial Day, May
80, for reflection on the significance of
the day.
1--WE ask, the communication sent
to the Executive says in part, "that all
people. so far as possible, pause for that
minute on that day, and devote their
thoughts to the significance of the day
and the traditions it perpetuates, while
] they look forward and think of the
momentous step the United States has
| taken in entering the world war for
liberty and the rights of humanity.
We ask that for one minute all loyal
citizens stand in silence, uncover and
salute the flag.
This movement, which is describeI
as ''only a bit of sentiment but one
which will build up ideals of real
Americanism, is to be nationwide in
it's scope. The Eastern standard time
at noon was taken because the resi-
dents of the Pacific slope will at thai
time be about their business.
Governor Edge will not issue proc
lamation, but will have the idea com
mended to the different communitiei
through the press,

No reference to the excise question
was made when the new City Commits
sion organized Tuesday night, with
Thomas Lee as president, by virtue of
which Office he becomes Mayor. The
saloon applications, if they are pre-
sented, will be considered this week.
The probability of license appliea-
tions being refused increased Thursday
when prominent church leaders de-
clared that Mayor Lee will stand by
his declarations as dry" leader dur
ing the last two years, and cast the de-
Gliding vote against reopening the sa-
looms. Morris r. HI. Levin was elected
director of finance, and Edward N.

Random Remarks

At the trial, Friday, of man for
stealing chickens, it was claimed that
the prisoner was in hotel drunk at
the time that one witness said he was
elsewhere. One man testified that he
saw the defendant in the hotel during
the evening, standing at the bar. He
was intoxicated, and he was served
with drinks while in that condition.
Judge Lippincott questioned the wit
ness very closely on this point and it is
likely there will be something heard
on the matter later on.
The sentence imposed upon man
for committing a dastardly crime was
placed at the minimum of seven years
and the maximum of thirty years.
What sentence would you have inn
posed?" was asked of man who was
present in the court room when the
Judge gave judgment. The answer
was 'For the enormity of the crime Is
years would not have been too much,
but in order not to create sentiment
and an idea that there was persecution
In the matter, seven years was about
right" III heavier sentence had been
imposed it is possible the fellow would
not have served as long AS he will un-
der that pronounced on Friday. There
seems to be disposition in some cases
where heavy sentences are imposed to
try to create sympathy and secure
the release of the prisoner either on
pardon or parole. Judge Lippincott
has shown excellent judgment in inn
posing sentences and has met the ends
Of justice without being unduly hard
on the prisoner.
At each term of court when licenses
are considered Judge Lippincott has
given talks to the applicants in which
he has set forth his ideas on the sub
iect OF selling liquor. Whether these
lectures have had the effect of making
the dealers more careful has not yet
been decided, but 1t is quite certain
that within the last two years there
has not been the number of cases from
drunkenness that was the custom
prior to that period. That the talks
have borne good fruit may be assumed
from certain circumstances that have
come to light within a short time.
Last week man was arrested in Bur-
lington and sent to the county jail for
30 days for buying liquor for a man
whose name is on the Jag list" Re-
tail dealers in that city have been
warned not to sell to. the latter but he
was found on the street in drunken
condition and investigation proved
that the man arrested had purchased
the liquor for him.

Considerable excitement was caused
at St. Mary and Barclay streets. Bur-
lington, Sunday morning by the cry
ing of a small child, who for long
time could be heard but was not seen,
who seemed to be in considerable agony.
Phe noise was traced to bread box in
front of the store occupied by Philip
Silpath. The box had been left open
and the child got in and closed the lid,
which locked itself.

adjoining Nathaniel Cripps and Henry
Grubb.
Can any of your readers find Bridge
