PRESS COMMENT
burlington Ncws)


Considerable of the newspaper
furry ccntcrs around the little city of
Newport at the present time. Editor
Iildreth of the old established En-
press and Standard has just in
stalled Il new linotype of the best
wye to keep his paper up to Il high
standard. Editor Gilpin of the Bar
ton Monitor has entered the New
port field with II weekly paper called
the Newport News, while Herbert
Smith, the now manager of the St.
Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN, now gets out
Il daily edition of 500 for Newport
readers.
The Caledonian, by the way, is sit
uatcd rather pleasantly in the matter
of its print paper supply and goes
blithcly on its way while the New
York Times, and the Chicago Tri-
bune owners grow gray worrying
over their paper supply. In the
CALIFORNIAN office when they want
half dozen rolls of paper they
step to Il telephone and call up Il
neighboring paper mill. The rolls
arc delivered the next afternoon.
The Caledonian has no contract
with the mill but is getting rock
bottom prices and all the paper it
needs merely through the good will
of the paper makers, all of which
will prove to some skcptical pub
fishers that paper makers have Il
heart after all.

PIIRJJC SPANkERS

The city of Bridgcton, N. j., has
gained some publicity as tho result
of public spankings for offending
boys and girls. The same have bee!
administered in front Of City Hall
by muscular policeman who operat-
es barrel stavc,and arc applied onIy
with consent of parents.
1t is not likely that this method
will become generally popular. The
modern parents is soft-heartcd, and
can not bear to hurt either the feel
ings OF the anatomy of his offspring.
The first few howls put up as cam
outage quickly compel him to de-
sist.
The kid element is perhaps too len
icntly treated. Offenders in rare in
stances are brought up in court,
where they make weepy promises OF
amendment, and then go out ana brag
how they put it over the officers.
The Bridgeton people evidently
think it is time for some recognition
of authority. If they really mean %
keep up this plan, it may head off
more serious wrong doing.

TRAINOR FOR CONGRESS

(Whltc River Junction Landmark)
In another column Of The Land
mark appears the announcement ans
platform of our fellow townsman a.
Il candidate for Congress from thi.
district.
Mr.. Trainor for some time has tai,
en- an active part in political affair
Of the Republican party and has q
host of friends in this district WHO
will welcome his candidacy.
He is one of the prominent alto
neys Of the state and has built UP l
I large and lucrative practice.
He has always championcd the
cause Of the common people, to use
that phrase. 1t is gratifying to Us,
as it will be to most voters OF the d.
trict, to observe the commonscnsc
viewpoint from which Mr.. Trainor
looks upon the questions to enter in
to the campaign, and we arc also con-
fidcnt that to the best of his ability
he will fulfil every promise or pledge
made.
Especially are his views relating TO
labor and capital and the public -
be commended. Too many politici-
ans, we fear, lost sight of the inter-
ests and welfare of the public in these
controversies that arc constantly arts
in g between the laborcr and his en-
ployer. TO these interested parties
he has promised proper consideration
with the interests Of the public up
pcrmost.
That is the kind of representative
that every state should have and ore
we will get in Mr.. Trainor.
His views on the Nolstcad act and
the 18th amendment arc not only III
accord with our own but with the
vast majority Of the people of the
whole United States. The saloons
arc directly responsible for the abol-
iShing of all alcoholic beverages, and
while we would like to have beers and
light wines restored, we believe TINT
Congress and the states should pre-
scribe the method Of distribution"

relation to the adjustment of the sol

COSTLY LIVING

The H. C. of l.. is not merely higl
cost of production. 1t is more lux
urious standards.
Take the matter of house construc
ton and furnishings as an example
A few years ago people were con-
tent to live on soft wood floors.
they did not care to tack down car
pets, they had the edges painted at
at slight expense, and laid down rugs
in the center of the room. The flool
would be as sanitary as the hardest
maple or oak surface. Yet it lacks
the style of the hard wood foor,
which many people consider an abso-
Lutte necessity, though costing nov
$50 to 500 Il room.
Similarly in the matter Of furn!-
ture. The people who formerly used
simple pine chairs, now must have
oak, and those who formerly had oak
now have mahogany. So it goes
all over the house.
While it is IL normal desire for
people to gradually collect good and
substantial articles for their home
use, yet many people carry it so far
that it becomes IL matcrialstc wor-
ship of things. They lose interest in
culture and education, and turn their
attention TO display and money max
ing. They live beyond their means,
and get away from the spirit of sim
pllclty on which il healthy life is
founded.
Those who arc giving fine service
to the world. teachers. college pro-
fcsSors' ministers, social workers, etc.
no not have to surround themselves

PARIS. June 10.-Large numbers OF
Former American soldiers. finding condi.
lions in America unsatisfactory, are re-
turning to France.
Finding work for them in this country
is quite a serious problem for American
Legion officials here.
Some of the ex-soldiers have taken
places as laborers at comparatively small
wages, and legion officials say that
"doughboys" should be warned not to re
turn to France unless well provided with
money to defray expenses while finding
jobs, which are quite scarce at present
"Since early in March, said Arthur
W. Kiping, adjutant of the Paris post,
American Legion, there has been 2 a

officers and soldiers coming to France.
MANY of these men are without money

work and their knowledge of the French
