ment that amicable relations with

The Japanese government has Of
tically taken steps to discourage anti
American utterances in the press of
that nation, arising out of the Cali
forna situation. Copies of Japanese
papers received here to-day disclose
that japanese police have served the
following notice on the press Of that
country:
Recently there has been tendency
in the press IN consideration of the
American question to indulge in de-
iiant utterances and insert fabrica

have undesirable results on our for

be careful about inserting such items

the goodness OF his heart 1t was the
idea that the states wards and charges

fuel, housing, clothes and in which they
have to stay indoors for eight months

those of the North DR.. Hale even car
ried this idea SO far as TO propose an
'invalids' ear" for poor people, leaving
Boston every morning for Florida for
people who are hardly sick, but only in
danger of being so. 1t would certainly
be beautiful idea.

duction of expenditures and increase OF
grand list. The latter remedy is a very
remote possibility In some instances
it is impossible. Therefore, it il. abso-
lutely necessary that economy in ad-
ADMINISTRATION be exercised not only this
year but for years to come. 1t goes
without saying, too, that the individual
cities and towns of the state wsuld be
greatly relieved by the removal Of the
40-cent direct state tax, or partially
relieved by reduction of the size OF
the tax at the earliest opportunity. A
large number of towns have been forced
to 20 into debt in order to raise money
with which TO pay this obligation dur
ing the past year, and, in addition, all
Of them are facing naturally increased
budgets during the present calendar
year Therefore, it seems to us that it
should be the solemn duty OF the leg
fslature at its next session in 1921 to
pare the expenditures to such a point
that direct state tax may not be nee.
essary If the cities and towns should
elect representatives to go to Mont
pelier with 1olicy of economy firmly
impressed upon them in order to re-
duce, or eliminate, the direct state tax
then they win have performedsa great
service for themselves. Let's have
economy in municipal expenditures
whenever possible.

some 200 students in the three insti-

the opinions of other college men. Pos
sibly there was too much certainty
that Vermont college students would
have been overwhelmingly in favor of

CURRENT COMMENT
Book Padding.

The thanks of the reading public are
due to the society of calligraphers IN
Boston for its investigation regarding
the physical properties of books as
they are at present published. To be
sure, there is lesson for the reading
public in these transactions, for it
appears that the public is primarily
to blame for one of the most inartist-
ic and wasteful practices Of publishers.
This is the making of books on the
principle that if thew are not an inch
thick, they won't sell. So the publish
ers have recourse to card board covers
OF certain thickness or to diyices
that will stretch out the contents, such
as large type, wide spacing between
lines and the use of wide margins.
The Boston photographers consider
this practice chiefly on account of its
deplorable effects on the appearance of
book. But the economic factor Is
worth considering also, particularly in
a time of high costs of paper. A book
of literary essays recently published
by leading American house, noted for
good book production, has page IA
by 5 inches, on which are an outer
margin of IA inches and bottom
margin OF lH inches, besides generous
top and inside margins. Out of 36h
square inches on the page, only l5A is
covered with type; this measurement
includes the space required for the
chapter heading at the top. Thus the
eye and the pocketbook are alike as
saulted, to say nothing of the demand
on shelf rooman important consider
alton with public libraries. But the
most ludicrous example Of anything of
this kind was the printing of Mere
dith's Essay on Comedy in book de-
signed so as to be uniform with other
works Of useful textbook SERIES

circumstances. Our wards and charges
are shivering still in Massachusetts, in
stitutions, and some who are not wards
or charges are shivering by reluctant
radiators in supposedly happy homes.
And still the world wags on; the people
who live in the tropics or sub tropics
are mostly disconnected at being there,
while those who live in the cold tenn
perate zone are Disguised with the
weather because it is so healthy and
invigorating, Dramatically at least,
man never is. but always to be, blest.

SUPREME COURT HOLDS SALES
 NOT VALID ONE:
Payments Would Have Last. ed 57 Years By Terms of Agreement Owner Was
 to Receive.

That the sale of property at State and Water streets on terms which would make 76 year old Katherine Lieberum wait 57 years for her final payment should be set aside, is the decision of the Supreme court of Err TOTS handed down today in Hartford. The court finds no error in the de- cision of Judge Curtis, who heard the case in the Superior court and found in favor of Mrs. Lieberum in her suit against Jennie Nussenbaum of this city, who bought the property.
 The property was sold for $57, 900 but because of the terms which Mrs. Lie berum claimed she did not under stand when the contract was made, she brought suit to have the transac- ton set aside.
 Mrs. Lieberum claimed she was de- |ceived by those with whom she talked at the conference at which the deal was completed The defendant de- clared Mrs. Leberum claimed to un- derstand what the contract meant and said she did. not need a lawyer. By the terms of the agreement Mrs. Lie berum was to receive s1 900 cash down and the remainder of the purchase price of $57, GOO in annual payments of $1 ,000 each
