An extraordinary tribute to the

American Snobbery.
{ IIolyoke Transcript

(Holyoke Transcript
\ court decision holds that respect
must be given to the uniform of the
American sailor equal to that given to
the civilian 5 clothes. The case in point
concerned the exclusion OF a sailor from
the battleship Arkansas from a Brook
lvn theatre, because the man wore his
uniform.
What a condition. The men who
give themselves to protect us on sea
are not given place in a theatre when
they wear the uniform of their country,
while any kind of an old sot or Grim
inals of any dye can get by if he wears
civilian dress. Universal service would
soon cure us of this form Of snobbery.
in England before the war, the soldier.
that is the Tommy in uniform, was
obliged TO 90 off in gallery by him
self. He could not sit with the good
folks for whose protection he was fit
ting himself to be cannon fodder. Kip
ling roasted his nation for its snobbcrv
during the Bocr war, but the reform
was only temporary Then came the
world war with the sons Of every man
and woman drawn into uniform. No
snobbery now. The man who wears
his uniform can have what his country
can give him. even to seats with the
elect in the theatcrs.

I'm effort is being made to line up
the members of the legislature from
Bennington county against the reforms
proposed by Governor Graham because
one Of his proposals is to combine pro
bate districts whore there are two in
a county in order to save expense and
that would mean making this COUNT
one probate district. The members and
their constituents ought not to let
small selfish reasons blind them to i'm
portant issues. If the north shire is
afraid that Bennington will get the
best Of the proposed change let them
annex Bennington probate district to
the district of Manchester with the pro
vision that the judge shall hold court
down here occasionally. The point is
that every citizen and official should be
willing to forget any personal or sell
fish interest and act broadly for the in

GNOMES' SKATING PARTY.
To skim DER the ice,
tt Is SO nice
So skating We'll go,
IIeigh-ho, heigh-ho.

SO skating We'll go,
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho.
The Gnomes sang this song, and
some of them blew bugles for they
were to give a skating party and they
had invited the Brownies and the
Fairies.
From all over came the Brownies
and the Fairies. Some of the Fairies
flew along over the ice in their new
iceboat, while the Brownies came run
ming and tumbling in their eagcrness
10 get to the party quickly.
And Mr.. Moon was up in the sky
beaming down on everyone and grin
ming from ear to ear.
] shall see some fun tonight.
SO III give you good bright light.
That pleased the Gnomes for they
were very anxious it should be light so
they could have q better time.
Everyone sat down by the side of
the frozen lake and after the skates
were all on, off they started.
The Brownies had been given their
skates by the Fairy Queen and al
though the Gnomes had warned them
not to try any tricks, off they started
holding hands.
They had no sooner got out q little
way on the ice than they fell down,
How the Fairies and Gnomes laughed
And when they got UP again they fell
down once more.
Il don't suppose we'd better take
hands, said Billie Brownie to the rest
of the Brownies
"No, we'd better not" the others
whispered.
So they all started off by themselves.
Billie Brownie thought he'd try curve
but after having fallen down sixty
nine times trying it he had one
near success. He hoped, of course,
that this would be lucky time, and
not like one OF the sixty-nine times he
had fallen While practicing
But alas and alack, this was not a
lucky time, for he not only fell down
but he rolled over three times, as he
had tried to skate with such flourish
he could not stop moving.
but after a while Billie Brownie said
Now We'll give an ice circus if the
Fairies and GnomeS viii do some of
their beautiful fancy skating for US
afterwards"
Agreed" said the Fairies and
GnOmeS.
The Brownies all got together and
had circus. They had masks in their
pockets which they put on their faces
and they were so covered with snow
from falling down that they looked
very clownlike.
There will be no bareback riders il
this circus" said Billie Brownie. "Ant
there will be no tricks worth seeing. Il
will simply be circus that is a cir
cus!"

great American weakness OF letting

Drifting! and in it were some whole

remembering: We are all so con-
cerued with our personal affairs,
with our personal undertaking and
with our immediate interests that we
are letting America drift. Once every

for few weeks and give more or less
emotional expression to our aspira-
tons and convictions; but, once the
election is over, we return to our sew
cral plows and America drifts again

body's business, and therefore, until
every American feels his personal re
