Still Another Paper for Emery
(GrotOn Times1

A while ago we received a letter
from Brother Belknap of the Bellows
Falls Times, inquiring how Groton
and the Times felt about Mr.. Belknap's
townsman, Mr.. Babbitt, as governor.
We tod him that we believed Groton
was for Emery Soon another letter
arrived. From it we gathered that if
the Groton Times could see its way
clear to support Mr.. Babbitt that Mr..
Babbitt would doubtless see his way
clear to favor US with the advertising,
for we know of no other way he can
reach the voters of the Wells River
Valley. But we have decided, after
a rather careful study of the candi-
dates, that Col. Curtis S. Emery of
Newport is most deserving of our
support.
Understand, although we are not
personally acquainted with any of the
men, we feel that any of them would
make a good governor. but we are of
the opinion that Mr. Emery has the
training to better serve the state as
governor than any of the others. So
count the Groton Times with the Mon
itor, the Herald and News, the Ex-
press and Standard, the Caledonian,
and the many other papers of the
state who say: 'SFor Governor, Curtis
S. Emery"

A Bible Reading Year.
(St. Adams Messenger.)

Thirty-six governors have given ia
vorable responses to a letter sent to
them by the secretary of the New
York Bible Society asking them their
opinion of the plan to make 1920
"Bible year" Most of the members
of President Wilson's cabinet, and the
vice president, have also written that
they approve of the plan.
The plan is simple. 1t is to brlng
about a general reading OF the Bible
Of course, every year should be a BIZ
bic year but unfortunately 1t Is not.
The reading public turns to other
things. But much good would come.
and certainly no evil would follow, II
our people took to a reading OF the
Holy Word.
Might there not result an easing OF
the current unrest? Might not edged
nerves be smoothed down bit!
Bible reading might furnish a bet
ter cure for many of our troubles than
has vet been advanced; this certainly
would be the result If the Bible were
taken for a guide of Individual action.
The Bible reading plan should be en-
couraged in every way and ought to
meet with widespread acceptance

The housing problem continues to
De acute IN the larger centers of Or
leans county. Newport, Orleans,
Barton, Derby Line and North Troy
all report near panic for want of
living quarters. In the mean time,
building materials and building costs
continue to soar and even the problem
of providing living quarters by build
ing associations is serious one.
There can be but one answer however,
and that is building, despite the cost,
and tenants must expect to pay high
er rates of rent. Newport and Or
leans are seriously considering a
means of betteing the condition,
which no doubt is retarding the
growth of these centers. What viii

Points TO Rail Bill as
Example of S'Eagerness
to Do the Wrong Things

WASHINGTON, April 25 BY The AS
scciated Pressl. - Sweeping charges
hat the present Congress has failed
the nation with completeness and
abandon" are made by Samuel Com
pers, president of the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor, IN the current issue of
The American Federationist."
"America must get rid Of its veto
Congress. and elect an action Con-
sress," ho says. "The mo- Congress
must give place to yes Congress"
The labor leader asserts that Con-
eyess has failed on the peace treaty,
IN reconstruction, and the high cost
Of living. and that it also has "failed
us in intelligent comprehension of
every great question affecting the lives
and welfare OF our people,"
The "sins of the present Congress" :"
he adds, were of commission as we'll
as omission, as there had been almost
an eagerness to do the wrong things"
the enactment of the railroad bill
being cited as shining example,"
There must be Congress which will
turn its face to the task confronting
the American citizenship in the true
spirit OF American institutions" Mr..
Gompers says. "A constant genius
for accomplishment must replace an
tIl-considered mania for restriction
and coercion.
America cannot play forever the
part of peevish child in international
relations. The affairs of the world
are the concern OF the United States.
There may be proper limits to which
this concern may go, but there is no
longer any such thing as absolute di-
vorcerent from what transpires else
where.
"The blind and bigoted action of
Congress in refusing to deal intelli-
gently with the peace treaty has made
i impossible for the United States to
manifest the proper concern in these
affairs.
"on our own continent there is the
same need. For weeks a Senatorial
subcommittee has been going up and
down the country gathering testimony,
the evident purpose OF which can be
but TO infane the minds of those
who think little and who take much
on faith. At periods all too frequent
the United States is brought to the

Inc convention is to protect the

Congress has done much in recent
