gious slant against Sunday baseball

tory Of the past three or four legis-
latures has shown that to be true.
The whole situation hinges on the
failure of such people to realize that
men cannot be made good or sober
or chaste or Sabbath-observing by
means of printed law; it takes moral
education, character and courage to
make men good; fiat morality or fiat
religion never succeeded very well in
this country; it hasn't been a striking
success anywhere.

CURRENT COMMENT
Emery's Strength Standing Fast.

It appears that every opponent of
Emery, who is seeking the Republican
nomination for governor. fears Emery
above any of the other opponents,
which is pretty conclusive proof that
Emery is strong wherever these oppo-
nents may travel Notwithstanding the
avalanche of printed matter from
Hartness, the pomp of Rabbit and the
bluster of Agan, Emery's strength is
holding fast. And why not9 Emery
supporters are for him because they
believe in him from first to last as the
man for governor. His supporters have
not been coaxed, coerced, coddled, com
missioned, commanded or comforted
into believing as they do. This kind of
support is worth more to a man than
the manufactured kind, and with a
few exceptions, it is the kind of sup
port that has won out in Vermont.
Emery, himself, and Emery support
ers, who are keeping most closely in
touch with the situation, are doing lit
tie worrying Barton Monitor

Judging by the number of attempted
assassinations in the city, Paris would
be a good place for high officials Of gov
ernments to steer clear of until the
criminal atmosphere settles somewhat.
Paris, along with some other great Eu.
ropean capitals, seems to have gathered
to itself many of the worlds most
unbridled criminals since the subsid
ence of the war fever and has not yet
got its machinery of criminal surveil-
lance into such condition as TO make
crime stay suppressed, The recent at
tempt on the life of Premier Vent
zelos of Greece is warning that greater
activity ON the part OF the police ana
a system of closer international rela-
tions as regards the detection of those
with criminal intent is necessary
Greece and France ought to be in fair
ly close relations in this respect mas
much as the governments of those
are in ,amicable spirit to-
ward each other. incidentally, France
had certain responsibility in main
tanning the safety of the distinguished
visitor.

OF revising the laws OF Vermont

| OF revising the laws OF Vermont in
regard to Sabbath observance.
Stark declares that the Sunday laws
are absolete and do not represent the
public sentiment of to-day. He says
they should be repealed or modified
to meet modern conditions He gives
his reasons briefly;
IF one wants to play ball after
week of hard work or take a ride in
his automobile on Sunday, it should
be his privilege and right. If another
man wants TO 60 TO church that's his
business. There are so many laws made
nowadays, over the heads Of the peo-
pie, absolutely contrary to the consti-
tuition of the United States. l believe
in obedience TO laws that are made by
the people and for the people, but
when they are made to protect one
class and punish another say it's the
worst thing on earth. II discourages
respect for the law and encourages
lawlessness."
There is probably no doubt about
the fact that great many people be
heve in a modified Sunday law or, per
haps, in modified plan Of enforce
ment, but we venture the belief, based
on established history, that Mr. Stark
will be opposed by the same people |
that undertook to stop Sunday base
ball in Brattleboro and then gave up
the fight when they found that 1t
meant prosecuting every motorist, golf
player and business man who kept his
place of business open on Sunday.
If elected, his efforts to have the
law repealed or modified win be OPP
posed in the same fashion and by the
same kind of people-those who be-
lieye in having law on the statutes
which cannot be enforced, simply be.

There is some satisfaction in know
ing that one member of the Bergdoll
family has got his desserts although
the worst offender, Grover c., is still
outside the grasp of the United States
government. The Bergdolls, mother
and some, have not given evidence Of
the stuff which makes good Americans;
and, more than that, they have defied
the government and Haunted their de-
hance in the face of the representa-
tives of the government. So without
the spirit of revenge entering into the
consideration, one may express pleas
ure that one of them at least has been
given the punishment necessary 10
convey the proper respect for the
American flag and that which the flag
signifies. The young man who has
been sentenced to four years at hard
labor in the federal prison at Fort
Leavenworth has the time in which TO
Fl himself for becoming a loyal sub
jeet of the United States. Whether he
has the inclination TO do so depends
upon the mental slant Of the Young
fellow. He has chance to come eut

an suffrage amendment by the Ten
nessee legislature that "Gov. Clement,
if he likes, can now go to Connecticut
for a vacation and Gov. Holeomb can

went to Massachusetts,, visiting the

PIONEERS IN REAL PERMANENT
STREET PAVEMENT.

While the village of Essex Junction
may justly be proud of the concrete
pavement recently laid on Main street
in that village, the statement by Sc.
lectman o. S. Nichols in the Concrete
Highway Magazine for August and
September that 1--WE Essex Junctien)
were the pioneers in the state of Yer
mont to lay real permanent street
pavement" is open to correction
because the city OF Barre, as
long ago as score of years, laid
real permanent pavement of granite
blocks and has been adding to that
first stretch of highway with other
jobs of perfected pavement of the same
basis material. That is permanent
road construction without doubt, for
the granite block pavement laid so
many years ago is standing the wear
and tear of a traffic far heavier than
that which goes over the highway in
the main street of Essex Junction In
fact, Barre laid a concrete pavement
on Main street even before the gran
lite block pavement was first put down.
At the time that was thought 20 be
permanent highway construction, but
the very heavy traffic of granite teams
soon tore the concrete into strips and
dug out holes, all of which made vers
bad permanent road. No doubt i'm
proved methods have been adopted in
the laying of concrete roads so that
Essex Junction will not have such un
results as Barre had. Il
is certainly to be hoped so, for Yer
mont towns and villages are finding
it difficult to secure the money with
which to improve their roads and they
cannot afford to have their money III
spent. At any rate, we believe Select.
man Nichols will concede that Barre
antedated Essex Junction quite a span
Of time in the matter of laying prrma
nent street pavements.
