Vernon's ''Movie" Star.
Greenfield Recorder

No claim to distinction, reflected from
the career of a son, or for that matter a
grandson, who has come to fame must be
lost TO the country town. Just as Win
chester, the modest town just over the
New Hampshire border, is now revealing
i'll the credit of having been the birth
place of Leonard Wood, possible Prcsi-
dent, so its neighbor across the Connect
cut in Vermont, the town of Vernon, can
feel duly set up over the discovery that
it has near claim to one of the favorites
of the ruling galaxy of the screen skies
Mortified, in our own county, can enjoy
a share of the reflection
Recorder correspondent in a some
what remote city writes that when he
saw in the east OF. a high-class film play
the name of Bryant Washburn, it seemed
to have an old home flavor. 1t sounded
like Vernon, Vermont, to him. But he
dismissed it as a coincidence until quite
by chance he learned little later that
the only living sister of Dwight L.
Moody, the widow of Vernon Washburn
had grandson in the movie" world
The identity of Bryant Washburn was
easily establishes
In just what regard Mr.. Moody would
nave held the motion pictures may only
be guessed. He would have been sharp
critic of some of the features of the food
of pictured drama and possibly would
have seen in the devotion to the films a
weakness of human nature deserving his
rebuke and attempted correction. But
he would have been entitled to the salts
faction that his great-nephew was wholly
associated with the cleanest of roper
torres, talented, handsome, and a hero
of wholesome plots. The adjoining towns
on the state border need not blush,-
cept with certain pride.

political embroidered form of city gov
eminent. The largest of these ten cities
Is Muskegon, Mich, which is approx
imately the size of Burlington, while
Lynchburg, Va, and Newport News,
Va, also are about of our size. There
are now in the United States more than
100 cities having city managers. OF
these more than fifty have more than
10000 population Three of them.
Grand Rapids, Mich, Dayton and Ak
ron, o., have more than 100000 popula-
ton each.
In broad sense the proposition is
simply that of accepting the business
OF running a city as u business and not
pastime and when an individual is
held responsible for the economical con
duct of the affairs of a municipality
that particular municipality Is quite
likely to get just that kind of an adj
ninistratiOn.
In this particular era we hear a great
deal about business administrations
One of the Republican candidates for
the presidency is conducting his cam.
paign on Cuisines platform, - we
hear talk of the need of progressive
business man in our own state house
the trend seems definitely in favor OF
| having affairs of state handled exactly
as affairs of business are handled.
| One big business man created a sen
sation not so long ago by maintaining
| that he could make certain ire
| mendous saving if he were allowed to
run the affairs of the nation as he ran
| his own business and no doubt he was
| correct.
Even in cities where politics are q
minor consideration it is doubtful il
the city manager plan does not work
| out better than the often archaic sys
| tenn upon which business is conducted
In these days, of high expenses, when
| the demand for economy is insistent
| anything that promises to curtail sub.
stantially the expenditures of a city
| is worth considering and it has been
| one of the first experiences under the
| city manager plan that expenses have
| been reduced and efficiency increased
The simple plan is to have the man
| ager responsible to non-partisan com.
mission which acts exactly as the board
of directors of corporation act with
regard to the man running the business
| for such a corporation.
1t has been the experience in most
places that the plan has been con
tested by politicians in both parties
but after it has been in effect for some
time such opposition becomes futile in
the face of the results achieved
Whether Burlington is ready at this
time to consider a change in its form
of government we do not know but at
least it is something worth thinking
about.

President of the United States. Like
his father native of Ohio and a grad
uate of Williams college, the younger
Garfield early showed signs of interest
in politics and was elected to the Ohio
legislature early in his career. In 1902
he became a resident of Washington
and a federal official, serving on the
civil service commission. The posts
of commissioner of corporations and
secretary of the interior followed
thanks to the close friendship existing
between him and President Roosevelt
Indeed Mr.. Garfield was one of the

In Massachusetts there is a move on
foot to establish state moving pie
ture censorship which many concerned
in the work of child welfare urge for
the protection of children. There is no
doubt that many of the thrillers seen
at moving picture theatres are often
almost too much for the grown-ups.
Wild-West barroom scenes. domestic
tragedies, shooting ARRAYS and fights
attended by many gruesome details are
often portrayed. To an adult they are
merely pictures but to many children
they are grim realities. One remedy
suggested seems sensible, which is that
there should be departments for chill
dren in moving picture exhibitions and
programs, just as there are departments
for them in Libraries. There are
plenty of wholesome, educational and
entertaining films for the children to
see which will not inspire them toward
the careers of a highwayman or a
vampire.

of Vermont have resulted in wider field
of advertising for Vermont's agricultural
resources. For example, here is the
Springfield Mass Republicans state
ment:
That Vermont farms are attracting
more buyers than the farms of any

one of the largest farm agencies in che
country. New England's strategic posi-
ton for leadership in certain highly i'm
portant branches of agriculture is coming

Other newspapers are also commenting
on the report.

The opinion of Governor Clement Of
Vermont that the proposed suffrage
amendment tends to infringe on the
state constitution is somewhat weird
To the states are reserved rights not
explicitly granted to the nation by the
federal constitution but the constitu.
ton provides for further explicit
grants, through amendments. State
constitutions are valid only in SO fal
rs they do not conflict with the more

ton recently are that of the church at
Walpole, n H., and a brick school
