Don't Leave the Bars Down.
Newport Express and Standard)

Newport Express and Standard.)
There is some complaint that berry
pickers have left bars down, and
knocked down some fences in trying
to reach berry field. This is nui-
sance to the farmer and at times is
liable to create quite damage OF
course it is through carelessness but
this does not help the matter Some
fields are SO situated that a permit to
reach them would be good thing even
though the farmer had no objection to
berries being picked. 1t might save the
fences anyway.

Full Publicity.

(St. Adams Messenger.)
The commission appointed by Gov
ernor Clement to consider and propose
amendments to the state constitution
does well in deciding that their work
shall be carried on in full pubficity
and that the general public shall have
full and free access to the commission
for the purpose of suggesting amend
ments. Because of its own provision
regarding the method of amending, it
is difficult matter to alter the organ
ic law of the state. Only once in 10
years can amendments be proposed
and when the opportunity to consider
amendments comes the people, who live
under that constitution, should have
every opportunity to have their say and
let their thoughts and wishes be known.
Any one who wishes to make sugges-
tons should address their communiea-
ton to the secretary of the commission.

In the Days News.

Lord Halsbury, who today enters upon
his 95th year, is former Lord High Chan
cellor of Great Britain and now the Oldest
member of the peerage. In spite of his
great age he is wonderfully vigorous, and
he still INDUCES in long walks, while his
mind is as keenly active as ever. Lord
Halsbury comes of legal family, and
there never was any doubt in the choos-
ing of his profession He was first called
to the bar in 1850, and for a time at least
showed little promise of his future great
ness. Fifteen years after his call he took
silk, and his first great success was his
defense of Governor Eyre of Jamaica for
alleged cruelty during a rebellion. Later
he appeared for Arthur Orion in the IA
nous Tichborne trial, when for his earn
est and emotional pleading he earned the
nickname of ''the weeping counsel" Al
| the age of so Lord Halsbury became solici
| tor general, and in 1895 he was made lord

A TRUCE WITH LABOR.

1t is hoped the labor people of the
country will heed the suggestion of
some of their leaders and for at least
six months cease fighting for shorter
hours and more pay and give them
selves over to the greatest possible pro-
duction. THIS hope is not based upon
the desire to see labor sacrificed in any
way, but upon the belief that six
months of active production at present
or lower costs would go long way in
removing the present high prices. L
would also. give time to educate all
classes in adjusting themselves to the
unusual industrial conditions of the
country.
The truce, it is self evident, should
not be a one-sided affair. Not only
should labor stop fighting employers but
employers should not be unjust to EN-
ployes. Each side should give itself
whole heartedly to the cause of produc-
ton end study the justice of the stu.
alton. Not only should there be an
effort to develop a reasonable cost OF
production but reasonable compensation
for the distribution of products. En-.
ployers should not take advantage OF
the truce to neglect the question OF
compensation but they should improve
the opportunity to equalize wages of the
different classes of employees as far as
it is practical.
The greatest result we hope for II
such a period is the demonstration t.
both sides that it is better and more
profitable to dwell together in unity
than otherwise.

GENERAL rERsHING'S REFUSAL

The first thought on hearing of the
refusal of General Pershing to appear
at Paris before the subcommittee of the
house for inquiry regarding the treat
ment of American soldiers in France
and the disposition of army property
since the close of the war is that he was
acting as a military boss rather than a
public servant. But it seems there is
another side to the case.
General Pershing was not notified that
he was wanted to appear before the
packed up and part of his records had
actually been shipped for America.
There were but a few hours between
that time and the time he was to leave
Paris for America. 1t was impossible
for him to appear fortified with the in
formation necessary to make his exam
ination just or complete.
This condition raises the question of
the necessity of a congressional com
mittee going to Paris at ALL The inves,
tigators could have secured their in.
formation quicker if they had stayed
at home and awaited the generals ar
rival in America. There seems to be
more evidence of a desire on the part
of the committee to take a trip to
France at the expense of the government
than of Indifference on the part of the
military. The committeeman appear
more like junketeers than economists in
the conduct of the government.
The public will secure before it is is
done the information from General Per
shing. but it will also ask the commit
tee "Why did you 60 to Paris?

The Roman Way.
(St. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN. }

There is nothing new un3er the sun
and now it appears that the H. c. l..
was the burning issue in Rome in the
third century. The conditions be-
came so unbearable that the emperor
Diocletian chiseled in tablets of stone
his famous edict that established a
maximum price at which 1000 commo-
dities could be sold and then fixed the
price of labor. That was paternalism
run mad and the natural result fol,
lowed in business depression, higher
prices, bloodshed and finally cancel
ling of the edict that the country
might get settled and industry and
trade build itself up again on normal
lines. The American people are getting
sick of government regulation and price
fixing and we quite agree with Sena-
tor Page that we don t need any more
of it. The law of supply and demand
has been in vogue since the dawn of
civilization and if this government con-
tinues in the Roman way we shall have
as result the same calamities that be-
fel the city on the Tiber.

Control Yourself.

The lack of self-control which shows
Itself by a flood of tears when any
thing goes wrong is not very much
better than the lack of self control
which shows itself by ill-temper. The
girl who snaps because she is nervous,
generally realizes that she deserves TO
be scolded. but the one who dissolyes
in tears is likely TO think that she
should be pitied. A wise girl controls
herself. resisting the temptation Of
showing tears as well as any emotion
when not seemly.-Girls' Companion.
