wrongly directed. As a matter of fact,
all the talk of a few weeks ago about
the wearing of overalls probably did not
result in thousand purchases, the whole
country over, that would not have been
made without it. Possibly the extra
buying amounted to no more than 800
pairs. And what is that in comparison
with the sales that go on all the time
and have done SO for years and years !?
There are dozens and scores of corpora
tons whose employees demand and get
more oyeralls than that every day 1t
was not the movement" that put up the
price OF overalls; the movement" simply
was used by the dealers as an excuse for
marking up garment the actual demand
for which had not appreciably increased.

Concerning Sunday Observance.
(Boston Transcript

AISbA'Ai
Rev, Henry NJ Ogilby, rector of the
Church of the Good Shepherd at Water
town, in sermon preached yesterday,
made a plea for what may be de-
&cribed as a square deal in the matter
of Sunday recreation. lie spoke in ia
vor of Sunday baseball of q. non profess
sional and non commercial character,
placing emphasis on the matter
of class distinction as revealed in
n system which would give to
some of the community certain privi-
leges on the Lord 5 Day while deny
ing to others the enjoyment of similar
privileges. In his discussion of that
phase of the subject, Mr.. Ogilby said:
We do not wish class legislation and
legislation that permits the owner OF
an automobile to drive about the coun-
tryside on Sundays and the golfer to
take his sticks and amuse himself on
the links, but forbids the boy to take
his bat and ball to the diamond and
find needed recreation in the only way
that may be open to him, is class legis-
lation and so repugnant to the spirit
of liberty As for the boys themselves
it is far better that they be engaged in
wholesome sport than be compelled tC
hang about the street corner, bothering
pedestrians and sometimes getting into
trouble through the sheer need of the
boy mind and body to be doing some
thing
There is food for thought in this
presentation of the matter. It suggests
| inquiry as to what will be the effect
on young mans outlook on life if
when he is filed with longing for the
| wholesome exercise of the ball field
| he is forced to stand on the street
corner and watch the endless process
sion of automobiles filled with Sunday
| pleasure seekers, or. wandering aim
lessly about. he catches glimpses Of
| golfers finding pleasure in the broad
| open spaces of the links
Certainly it is well to consider tn,
danger of making Sunday recreation
matter Of special privilege, with por
ton of the community feeling, in con
sequence, that they are the victims o
unjust discrimination That is not tn
way in which to promote respect 70

MONDAY. MAY II, 1920.
GIBSON FOR CONGRESS.

The endorsement by the Brattleboro
Republican caucus of Z. w. Gibson rs
Republican candidate for congressman
from the second district of Vermont
reduces to definite form a political de
yclopmcnt long expected. There is gen
eral conviction in this part of the state
that the present incumbent of that of
fee should not hold the position longer,
having held the office for six years
without acquiring much influence in
the house or elsewhere. 1t is felt he
should step aside for a stronger man
that Vermont may regain its strength
in Washington. Many people have
turned to Capt. Gibson and importuned
him to become candidate to succeed
Congressman Dale.
There is also considerable sentiment
in this district, as elsewhere, against
the Voletead enforcement act of the
national prohibition amendment. Rec
ognizing this sentiment r. w. Trainor
of White River Junction has announced
his candidacy for congressman on a
wet platform. While many voters of
the district endorse the principles Mr..
Trainor adopts there is no widespread
confidence in the man himself. Hence
the Trainor boom has not doomed to
an extent that promises victory
Capt. Gibson, we understand is
pledged to work for sane and sensi-
bic amendment of the Volstead enforce
ment act, to reduce it to common
sense statute. He does not stand for
the return of the saloon or the resump-
ton of the use of Intoxicating liquors
for beverage purposes, but he does be-
| icve the law should not be made stat.
utory falschood by declaring intoxicat-
| ing something that is not Intoxicating
| In other words, beverages containing
only one half of one per cent of alec.
hol are not and cannot be made intoxi
eating. He also believes. as does q
large proportion of the public, that the
law should he amended so druggists
viii supply liquor for legitimate medi
cinal and scientific purposes. The san
ity of his views upon this question vii
be generally recognized.
Wholly aside from this issue Capt
Gibson has practical experience as ;
state legislator, has creditably served
his country in the World war and dem
onstrated his ability TO do things. Hi
good Judgment, willingness to labor anc
his ability have won the confidence o
the public to an extent that gives hi
candidacy strength and promise of sue
cess at the polls.

Dispense With the Go-Between.
(Springfield Reporter

If any great number of Vermont
farmers, like those of Johnson, sold their
maple syrup for $l.75 a gallon, and the
purchasers of the same paid a third
party 1915 a gallon, it is time that
some kind of an introduction committee
made producers and consumers in this
state little better acquainted with each
other, 1t might be quite as much to
their advantage in other lines of barter
and exchange to dispense with a GO
between and, since they both speak
English and understand the same numeri-
cal system, they could conduct trading
negotiations without the assistance of
an interpreter if they were on speaking
terms. In the above mentioned matter
of syrup, they could have split the diff
ference between $l.75 and $3.75 and
each would be sweeter tempered over the
result than they are at present.

Bring Back the Farmer Boy.
Randolph Herald.l


In those good old days it used to be
the rule during the long summer vaca-
ton from school for nearly all the boys
old enough TO drive cows or to milk
and who lived in town to go out on
the farm to work. They earned little
besides their board-which under the
stimulation their appetites received
was no ineensiderable item. But they
came back in the autumn brown and
husky, and well fortified for the year
of study. They had been kept" dur
ing the summer and perhaps had earned
enough to supply their clothing the
year around They came as welcome
aides to the farmer. They could do
chores, ride for eultivating, rake after,
NOW away, hoe corn and make them
selves useful in many ways Some boys
go out nowadays, and more might with
profit both to health and pocketbook.

Afterward But Not Therefore.

Men who wear overalls, now as in the
past, not as participants in movement
or a campaign, but to protect their
clothes while doing their regular and ac-
customed work, are disposed to speak
resentfully of the recent turning to these
garments of people whose labor, if they
do any, does not make that sort of pro
lection necessary. They are resentful
because the much advertised extension
of overall wearing has been followed all
over the country by an advance of sev
eral dollars in the price of what has been
called the American workman's uniform
and this addition to enforced expenditure
at time when living cost is so high
naturally tries the temper of those who
have to pay it.
Their resentment is justified, but it i:
