Advertising Shows Energy.

There are many important concerns

The factories of our country are not
as an average. producing as much pei
worker as they did before the war.
The cost of operating these factories
is much greater than it was before the
war The cost ia high because every
thing that goes into the work is up in
price, and because wages are high.
To cover these costs Of manufacture
there have been raises in prices. These
are the prices we are all bowling about

morning for Barre. II went as far as

rallied and then the passengers were

until the southbound evening passenger
train, which reached Middiesex about Q
o'clock and then got stalled in the snow

Montpelier Junction. The branch train
made connections with the train at the
Junction, the cars having been replaced
on the track by train crew that went
TO Barre junction about 3 O'Clock in

The southbound night sleeper went
a far RS South Royalton, where it
waited all day Sunday and until about

Montpelier cleared this forenoon and

The passenger train on the Montpelier

in fact, it did not arrive until Io:45
o'clock Sunday morning, having re-

left Wells River about three hours
late, and was preceded by snowplow;
but the pillow got so far ahead of the
train that when the train reached
Ricker's Mills and made the stop there
the engine could not start the train.

apparent to even the simplest mind.
The real explanation of the stand taken
by the Saturday Evening Post durin
the past year has not occurred and
probably. could not occur to him; that
IL grew out of sincere desire for better
and more efficient overnment.
''Partisanship. to Governor Cox,
means being against him and what he
stands for. The Saturday Evening Post
has always had perfectly clear cut opin-
ions on politics and other subjects and
has never hesitated to express them,
whether they were unpalatable to either
or both of the old parties and their can
didates. Our policies in this respect are
perfectly well known to the public. and
quite unchanged. l repeat that when we
stood for the re election of Mr.. Wilson
in the last days before the last election,
neither Governor Cox nor any other
Democrat found anything either par
tisan" or "insidious" In our action.
Governor Cox personally is of sec
ondary Importance in this campaign,
but the Democratic candidate, weighed
in the balances of his public utterances,
has proved himself merely politician
using the methods of the sensational
journalist. The record of the Demo-
cratic party since the armistice has
been one of incompetence, waste and
failure to do the things that are neces-
sary to the salvation of America. If
we saw the slightest hope for better
things in Governor Cox we should not

hesitate to indorse him, but he has had
his chance to prove up and he has
failed; Democracy has had its chance
and IL has failed.
Governor Cox uses the stock argu-
ments Of the demagogue in his remarks
about the suit before the Federal Trade
Commission. He asserts, too, that no
man who represents just cause has
any objection to presenting both sides
of the case. He states that an order
issued by the Federal Trade Commits
sion caused the Curtis Publishing Co.
to cease and desist' in the enforce
ment of contract made with its agents
for their exclusive services in the dis
tribution of the company's publica-
tions. He fails to state, however, that
on the claim that that decision was
unfair, unjust and unwarrantcd.' an
appeal was made to the United States
District Court Of Appeals. As the
case Is still before that body, comment
upon its merits would, as Governor
Cox knows. be improper at, this time.
However, the first step in this action
was in the form of an application for a
temporary injunction by women's
publication in New York. which appli-
cation was argued before Hon. Augustus
y. Hand. the judge of the United
States District Court in New York
city, and from that decision i may
quote the following: $500.

wholesalers, which IL can do already in
cases where the wholesalers have the
retail trade and to the extent OF that
retail trade; but to avail itself Of the
organization OF the Curtis boys, built
up by the ingenuity, labor and capital
Of the defendant. The defendant, In
insisting upon maintaining the integrity
of its system, is not, in my opipion,
guilty Of unfair trade. On the con-
trary, the complainant, in attempting to
avail itself of this system, Is engaging

defendant has selected as its district
agents wholesalers who had an existing
staff of newsboys. - More often
the district agents and their staff of

Editor Answers Charge Of un-

by Cox
ASKS BETTER GOVERNMENT

"a sincere desire for better and more
eficient government" which is not un

taken by the Saturday Evening Post
In the present campaign.
This Is the answer of George Horace
T.orimer. editor Of the Post, to Cover
nor Cox's second attack on the attitude
of this publication.
The Democratic nominees first attack
wns inspired by a cartoon appearing
in this weeks Post. Mr.. Lorimer re-
piled to the governors assault. and this
reply drew another broadside from Mr..
Cox. Answering the second attack, Mr..
Lorimcr today issued this statements:
"The editor of the Saturday Evening
Post cannot view this campaign in the
spirit of Governor Cox, as purely
partisan affair. The whole future OF
America is bound up in a right de-
cision mt the polls next Tuesday. Any
journal that. having honest views. fails

eontempt and should forfeit the re-
sppct of every decent American.
''This weeks issue of the Saturday
Evening Post Is now on the newsstands.
and II speaks for itself. It's contents
can no longer safely be made the basis
for INSTRUMENTATION. My response to
Governor Cox's first statement was that
his charges were not only unethical,
but that they were untrue, and no one
should know this better than the gov
ernor himself.
