"Chinese-Japauese friendship has
long been on the lips Of both japanese
and Chinese. but With little result"
says the Toxic Niehi-nichi. Equally
true It is that feeling of reliance on
America is growing apace in China"
The editor then explains the situation
by mentioning the consideration shown
TO China by the government of the
United States in renouncing the Boxer
indemnity, in generous treatment given
to Chinese students, and in American
educational work carried on In China.
The chief reason which is delaying the
realization Of Chinese-Japanese cordi-
ality, the editor thinks, is that the
Chinese do not accurately understand
how necessary is Political and economic
friendship for the good of the two
countries. Japan needs raw materials
and has money enough to pay for them,
while China's resources are inexhaust-
ible, but she has no money to develop
them. Then, too, the Russian menace
is at China's front door. In conclus-
ion. the editor of the Nichi-nichi urges
a Chinese-Japanese chamber of com.

While they have not made direct
statements to that effect it is prob
ably true that the chief concern Of
every manufacturer in Bennington
these days is the untitled orders on
his books. Some of them have sold
cut their entire possible production
for months ahead and have refused to
take tempting orders. Bennington
probably is in no different situation
in this respect than other manufacture
ing centers, big and small. When one
remembers the times when the heads
of industrial plants were working
every possible string to secure bust
ness and were stretching their credit
while they were putting their pro
duct in storage against the time when
there might be a market that would
net profit he cannot but feel that
there is something wrong somewhere
with the general scheme of things.
At a time when this country should
be grabbing into the markets of the
world with both hands our production
is going backward instead of forward
because of strikes and industrial I'M
rest.

THE DEcADENcE OF JAlLs

There is evidence that New Eng
land jails will have as deserted look
as some Of the hill sections in Yer
mont and elsewhere. The discovery
by the grand jury that some of the
locks in the Windham county Jail had
become so rusty they could not be
turned is evidence only Of disuse. In
fact this Jail has been without an in
mate part of the time this summer.
The consolidation of the house of cor
lrection and state prison without test
ing the capacity of the one institution
now in use is further evidence of a re
duction in prisoners.
That this reduction in prisoners is
not common to Vermont alone Is
shown by the following fact from the
Boston Herald.
The state farm at Bridgewater ac-
commodities 3,2O0 prisoners and has
| 1922 inmates: the Massachusetts, re-
| formatory accommodates 1927 and
has 435; Deer Island accommodates
over 1900 and has less than 300 The
Fitchburg jail is less than one-third
full. the Greenfield less than one-ffth.
the Ipswich about one-twentieth. Nan
tucket with accommodations for ten
and Newburyport with accommodate
| tons for Al are both empty.
! How Is this decadence explained?
Probably with the high wages prevail
| ing there is less idleness and crime
With prohibition in force there GER
tainly is. less drunkenness and crime
THE probation system also allows
many men formerly confined in pen
al institution for full term to live
and work outside Of them today. All
three of these conditions are an i'm
proyement over old conditions and we
| hope will continue until decadence of
jail life will be more complete Brat

The increasing cost of liquor began
to cut down the number of inmates at
jails, warehouses; and similar institu-
