"The mar who hands you this note

81 had a delightful interview with
the man who presides over this insti-
tuition, training the virile young men
of the West for the work of the
Christian ministry and also for work
in the mission field. This mar is DR..
Ozora S. Davis, a graduate of st.
Johnsbury Academy and of Dart

st. Johnsbury Academy during the
principalship of that gifted and con-
secrated Christian gentleman, Charles
e. Putney, Ph.D. A powerful in
fuence for righteousness eXerted by
the quiet but inspiring personality of
this educational leader is now felt
throughout the world. Truly the
fourth verse of the Nineteenth Psalm
is applicable to this former principal
of a New England academy: "Their
line is gone out through all the earth
and their words to the end of the
world" No word of praise, however,
brief, of the throne Of power occupied
by DR.. Davis would be complete with

Running a Newspaper

The Caledonian-Record has recelv-
cd al anonymous letter from ar
irate subscriber complaining that this
paper is carrying too much advertis'
ing and too little news. The sub
scriber forgets that through the
holiday season every paper and mag
azine is crowded to the limit OF Its
space with Christmas advertising
md the CalcdonianRecord is no eX-
ception. The present management
took over this property after it had
been run al a less for many months
because, forsooth, there was toe
much reading matter and too little
advertising. The only way a news
paper plant can pay its bills is from
the receipts of it's advertising col
umns, and up to date the publisher
has been able to meet his bills
promptly because of the generous
support of the merchants of north
eastern Vermont. 1t would be easy
I'd fiji up a page every day with
"boiler plate" but this would be-
in our Judgment, a waste of white
paper at a time when the govern
mcnt is urging all papers to conserve
on. news print. The Caledonlan-
Record is not a charitable institution
but we are trying to run it as a bust,
ness proposition and we are inclined
to think by the steady increase OF
the subscriptions amounting to oven
SIS in the past four days that we
are meeting pretty well the desires
of the people of this section.
We propose to print the news
when it is news and all that oul
readers will care to. read. For In
stance we published two columns and
a half on the Mcleod mill fire when
it, was news. We published foul
columns on the Beck-Heywood au
tomobile case when it was news
When any news story breaks that
is worth space we will cover it in
such detail as we consider our read
ers will be interested We do moi
propose to fill the columns of oul
paper with. "boiler" plate OF unin-
tercsting matter just for the sake Of
filling space and using up white
paper.

Barre Times)
Page and the Reservations

FaOG dIIQ IIlS NNOGiN tAS
1t appears from a letter written
bv United States Senator Carroll ).
Page to Martin S. Villas of Burning
ton that the junior senator from Ver-
mont is not a thick-and-thin supper
ter of reservations of the treaty OF
peace and might, perhaps, be count
ed upon to accept a compromise be-
tween the reservationiSts and the
straight ratification side, for he says
that if the people should study the
treaty "they would see that there
must be reservations OF interpreta-
tons before it can be made safe for
this country to ratify.' In fact, Sen
ator Page goes quite a ways toward
accepting the viewpoint of the
straight ratification side, for the lat
ter is said to be willing to accept in
corporations, even mild reservations
of the treaty as drawn up at YER
CABLES. No doubt the people of the
country would be willing to accept
interpretations as a compromise or
they might go a little further and ac-
cent reservations providing it were
not obligatory for other nations to
accent the reservations before the
treaty should become effective as far
as the United States is concerned.
Senator Page ought to be one of
the leaders, then, in getting the
United States out of this mess into
which the nation has sunk by rea-
son of the failure to ratify.

Recommended.

New York.-Gov. Smith has grant
ed a communication of sentence to
Frank Rossamongo, a Sing Sing pris-
n e who figured in a famous case.
Prosecuting authorities in the Bronx
who convicted Rossamongo recon-
mended that he be pardoned, after
newly discovered evidence cleared
him Of wrongdoing.
Rossamongo has been imprisoned
fourteen months. Nathan Lubin,
king of Pickpockets." was tried in
the Bronx, charged with robbing
Rossamongo. On the stand Rossa-
mongo made contradictory state
ments. Lubin was given ten to twenty
years. Rossamongo was tried and O II
victed of perjury in June, 1913. He
always stoutly maintained he was in
nocent.
He got his story to the attention
of the governor. District Attorney
Francis Martin ordered an ~investiga-
ton. 1t developed that while Rossa-
mongo on the witness stand
seemed to have veered around from
prosecuting Lubin to defending him,
he was in reality only confused.

Mile. Marie Louise Gombier, a twen-
ty-one-year-old Belgian girl, who ar
rived in New York from France en-
route to Los Angeles to make her
home. In 1914 Mile. Gombier was liv-
ing in a convent at Bresges, Belgium.
When the Germans arrived the girl es-
capped and made her way to her IA
theirs home near Brussels. With the
fall Of the Belgian capital the Ger
mans occupied the Gombier home and
installed q wireless plant. Mile. Marie
tried to destroy the plant, was caught
and sentenced to death. The sentence
was later committed to Imprisonment.
After five weeks in prison the girl es-
capped and made her way to the Cana
dian lines near Ypres. Here she
served as a nurse, winning the Croix
de Guerre with two palms for bravery.
Mile. Gombier will make her home
