Cushing's Big Lead for Collector

burlington Free Press
The Barton Monitor saws that John
7. Gushing, editor of the St. Adams
Messenger, seems to be getting the ma
loritV Of the newspaper endorsement
for the collectorship Of customs at St
Adams The Manchester Journal en-
Iorses the following declaration on the
subject by the Bennington Banner:
John T. Gushing, editor of the St.
Adams Messenger, is a candidate for
collector at the port of St. Adams un-
der the Harding administration. This
is the west side collectorship which was
formerly at Burlington but was trans
ferred to St. Adams a few wears ago.
This appointment is considered the
best gift of the Vermont delegation
and there is usually much strife among
those who are eligible The Banner
hopes that Mr.. Gushing may receive
the appointment He is a Young man
who deserves well at the hands of the
State and the Republican party When
there is a party work to be done he
is one of those called on and is always
ready and willing in service. He is a
newspaper man of high rank and one
of the leading editorial writer's of the
State. Also we should like to see the
delegation give the place to young
man with family to bring up and
with promise of future service than TO
have it passed out to a veteran of the
party who wants to round out his
career or settle down in the sunshine
of prosperity. We trust that the Yer
mont delegation in Congress will name
Mr. Gushing for the place.
We do not recall a political contest
in Vermont of this nature in which
newspaper support was so largely for
one man as it is for Editor Gushing in
the present instance. This is no dis
paragement of other candidates. but i
is simply another illustration Of what
has come to be recognized as the
eternal fitness of things.
In the first place, probably no other
candidate would want to break up his
home in a distant town and move to
st. Adams for an uncertain tenure of
Office beyond four years. Unless this
were done. an aDpointee from some
oAANA Nohh NOhAh NC q -bANdoluudA
visitor to the collectors office instead
of man "on the Job" as latter-day
sentiments is more and more requiring.
The Republican party cannot afford to
provide mere sinecures in office, at a
time when unrest Is growing and when
the people are asking for their moneys
worth" in all directions.
Mr. Gushing lives in St Adams al
ready and would fit into the position
in every way. He is also thoroughly
acquainted with conditions along the
border. and this knowledge is more
and more essential to the efficient and
satisfactory discharge of the duties Of
the Office. We believe that after the
members OF the Vermont DELEGATION in
Congress have weighed all the factors
entering into the situation they are
likely to appoint Mr.. Gushing. Ger
tainly they will find it difficult to make
an appointment that would be more
popular and satisfactory in general
than would be that of Editor Gushing.

The well advertised threat of a
group of reformers to read into the law
of this free country their own indivi-
dual ideas of the model observance of
Sunday ought to be killed in the en-
bryo. Right respect of the Lords Day
the one in seven mentioned in Scrip
ture, is mostly dependent on local con-
ditions The constitutional right of
religious freedom ought primarily to
discourage any such organized attempt
by group of forceful persuasion of a
minority. Most Americans recognize
in Sunday the one day in seven set
aside as day for rest from toll. Sat
urday is fully as sacred to millions of
others. Besides, the so called Blue
Laws" have too long been the subject
Of fun for the generation succeeding
their trainers for us to apply them to
ourselves. There is no one but favors
a sane Sunday, Sabbath, or Seventh
Day, as the term may suit. Profess
sional reformers, hirelings of baneful
agitators, alone would see the spirit of
the day subordinate to their personal
whims. Let it be a day of rest, but
by no means the straight-jacket, pain
full kind Enough of this liberalization
Of our individual consciences.

Sunday Laws

Everything points toward some at
tempt in the national Congress to cod
iiy in the form of federal legislation
the blue laws of various states sew
eral prominent professional reform
ers, such as those who took part in
the passage of the 18th and 18th
amendments having already been
identified in active motion about the
capitol
The plan is opposed and should be
opposed. 1t has no part in national
legislation to begin with, and the at
tempt to enforce the observance of
the first day Of the week as a compul-
sorry holiday on Jews, Adventists and
Others who observe the seventh day
according to biblical injunction would
certainly meet with failure.
The federal constitution and most
state constitutions provide for religious
liberty and a fiat Sunday probably
would not hold if tried out in the
courts
The Barton Monitor, commenting on
the proposed revision of Vermont Sun
day laws. goes back to Sinai and the
Ten Commandments and says:
That commandment, Remember the
Sabbath dav to keep it holy" is Just
as much a command as Thou shalt
not kill" and the only argument
hinges about the question OF what is
keeping the day holy and what is a
desecration Of the day. Man must
;ntnrnret +O Coma evtan+ az laoe4 TLo
commandment. however, goes on to
say that in six days one shall do his
work and not work upon the seventh
lust what daY that seventh NAV be
can be disputed. but that Gods com
mandments, if THE correspondent rec
ognizes them as such, recognizes a
Sabbath, can hardly be disputed lust
how the Roman church can lay claim
to the establishment OF the Sabbath is
not clear to the editor.
II is not only the Roman Catholic
church which might differ from The
Monitor, Wilbur Crafts, Clarence True
Wilson and Others of the so-called blue
law type; it is members of other
churches and members of no church,
perhaps, who object on having the
legal calendar arranged to religious
lines The communication from +. F.
tombstone of North Orwell expresses
an extreme view OF this character
rhe Bennington Banner counsels
moderation 1t declares that the blue
laws, if they ever were of value,
ceased to be a working force long ago
and are now worse than nothing, as
they cannot be enforced" 1t says
further:
"A majority of the people of Vermont
would welcome a sensible law regulat
ing the observance of Sunday. 1t is
unfair to merchants and clerks whose
stores are operated for reasonable
hours to be exposed to the competition
of new-coming aliens, who deal in Sim
liar lines and keep their stores open
seven days in the week and l6 to Is
hours a day. Possibly the only way
this can be done would be to give the
authorities of each municipality power
to regulate the hours which business
places may keep open on Sunday.
This proposal of form of local OPP
tigh suggests that such a situation prac-
tically exists at present. Enforcement
of the Sunday laws fell fiat in Brattle-
boro but the states attorney of Wash
ington county made them Stick" to

JOKES BY JURY

One OF the most brutal premedi-
tated murders ever committed in this
country occurred in Chicago.
Carl Wanderer, former army Of
ficer, shot to death his wife and their
unborn child and a poor boob whn
had been hired by the murderer tc
stage fake holdup.
A jury Of men, supposedly sane
fixed his punishment at twenty-five
years in the penitentiary Coed be-
havior will reduce it to fourteen years
Decent people the country over
have been both amazed and disguised
at this verdict.
1t is becoming so increasingly diff
cult to mete out justice through the
medium of men juries that courts and
prosecutors are beginning to consider
calling in the women for jury service.
1t is painfully evident that their
sense of honor, right and justice is
far superior to that of modern man.
A jury of women might hesitate at
the death penalty, but they at least
would have given this human monster
life sentence in the penitentiary.
The correction of these nauseating
jokes by jury appears to be up to the
womanhood of our country.
