Driving Out the Bosses

Women voters, gathered in western
city at national convention, decided
to give battle to the political bosses.
They would sweep these inside manip-
ulators out of business. They would
clean house.
1t is not difficult thing to do.
There is no demand for heroics; no
martyrdom is required All that IS
necessary is that every voter perform
his duties according to the oath he
takes when he assumes the suffrage
When voters act conscentiously,
bosses disappear. Bosses are born OF
the neglect OF voters to do their duty.
Bosses are busy when the rest OF us
are idle. Bosses can not exist unless
the voter permit them to.
So, if the women would eliminate
bossism here is the way to do 1t. 90
to the polls Vote Take an active and
intelligent part in the party manage
ment. Serve on party committees. At
tend party caucuses and conventions.
Be part of the party The party will
welcome YOU.
The same advice applies to the men.
1t has been amusing whenever the men
of any state or of the Union would
arise in their might and give battle to
bossism. They called themselves re-
formers. Yet the very condition which
they started out to reform was con-
dition for which thew themselves were
to blame, simply because they had
been too busy formerly to discharge
their duty as citizens. 1t is public in
difference that permits bossism to
flourish; when this indifference is over
some, bossism vanishes. The people
can rule whenever they want to; they
have the votes.

"Ioe" Flint

A great many Vermonters will feel
a twinge of regret at the death Of
Joseph S. Flint of Burlington, espe-
cially those in public life or whose
business takes them much "over the
road"
"Joe" Flint was a big-hearted,
square-toed, genial travelling salesman
in the earlier days of his business life,
whose reputation for honest dealing and
good craftsmanship preceded him into
almost every Vermont community that
he visited. The knowledge of human
nature that he acquired selling goods
made him one of the best informed
men in the state on public matters
and many state. officials and represen-
tatives have been glad of his shrewd,
well-founded, common-sense knowl-
edge of such affairs.
Luther Johnson once nominated Joe
Flint for governor Had Joe taken
the suggestion seriously, his vote would
have astonished political wise-acres.
Judged by his friends, Joe Flint was
one of the biggest men in Vermont.
Judged by the genuine regret that fol-
lows his death, he was certainly one OF
the best loved.

Publicity in Public Affairs

During the sessions of the various
state Legislatures which met during the
winter Just passed, many laws were ad-
opted providing for the publication OF
reports of public officers, that the public
might be advised of the workings OF
the machinery employed in their own
business and the methods and acts OF
the servants they had elected to fill
the Offices.
This is but fair to the public, and
will aid largely in curbing Cshall we
say inappropriate impulses OF Off
oials who might do public damage were
they permitted to hide their acts be-
hind a secret policy. Public officials,
being the servants of the public, being
paid by the public, handling the public
funds and supposed to be working Tor
the public good, should not oppose any
publicity that would show to their
principals that their acts are in line
with efficiency, economy, honesty and
the public good, and they should well
come such publicity, whether paid Tor
or published Eree by an enterprising
newspaper, that the finger Of suspicion
or incompetence be not pointed at
them.
However, in the town OF Middlebury,
VT, there is a board Of village trus-
tees which not only does not invite

publicity but actually has denied the
representatives OF the newspapers to
attend the meetings of the board for
the purpose of reporting its proceed
ings. From a perusal of the cores
pondence touching upon the situation
in Mddlebury, we believe that while
there may arise occasions in which the
full deliberations of|the board might
best not be published at the time
in such events as the consideration of
unfinished matters the publication of
which would be detrimental to plans
yet to be completed and therefore
working against the interests of the
town and its sitizens-an understand
ing could very we'll be had between
the board and the newspaper represen-
tatives as to what could be covered in
the current newspaper reports and
what should be held in reserve until
the news had become ripe for the pub
lie as an accomplishment,
Newspaper reporters and correspOn-
dents in Washington and every other
capital have details OF matters which
would startle the public if published
at the time they first have knowledge
of it, but the newspaper honor is a
shield to protect the public interest,
and it never fails. The newspaper
men OF Middleburv are as honorable
as the profession generally, which has
established its reputation in that re-
gard. The village board should admit
the reporters on this basis, and the
Middleburv newspaper representatives
would accept the courtesy OF attend
ance at the board meetings upon this
basis
If, however, should such proposal
upon the part OF the newspaper men
be rejected by the board, without con-
sidering any legal phases OF the situa
ton we suggest that the papers, after
each meeting of the board, run the
account of the meeting in this form:

COMMUNICATION
A Word From the Golden Gate

San Francisco, May !, 1921
Editor of Register:
l am greatly interested in the con-
test you are waging with our village
trustees. May l contribute, as peril
nent to the discussion, the following
editorial paragraph from yesterdays
Examiner?
Public men, those that spend the
peoples money, should get into their
heads and keep in mind Dante's line,
Give light, and the people will tlnd
their own way. You can drive sheep,
it is good for them: they cannot learn
to guide themselves. You can drive
horses, mules, and machinery, But all
that you can do for human beings is
to give them knowledge and enable
them to find their own way. The peo-
pie do not want bosses, they do not
want dictation; they want knowledge.
Give light, and the people will ind
their own way"
That surely is good doctrine for pub
lie officials, unless indeed they fear the
result of such illumination.
Sincerely yours,
CHARLES B. WRIGHT

Trustees Turn Rulers

Evidently the town fathers in Mid
dlebury have forgotten that they are
living in democracy. They serve
there, not as the peoples representa-
tives, but as their rulers. The Register
IS putting up fight to be allowed to
have present at the meetings of the
trustees a representative who can tell
the people, through the columns Of
their paper, what their village officers
are doing with the trust confined in
them. Unless the trustees give in and
allow the public to be given full and
authentic accounts Of tha doings Of
their body, we fear the village will
have some new trustees in the near
future, and it would be well.

II would gladly buy divorce quick

Pearl White, the movie star when ask
ed if she had gone to Paris to secure
a divorce from her husband. The spe-
tial cable dispatch to the metropolitan

The actress, who is creating almost

In instltuting a school section in
their savings department the First Ma
tional Bank OF Bristol is teaching the
children of that town the first lessons
of future business success in a most
practical way. Bristol has long been
known as a community of enterprise,
the envy OF many of her sister towns
Of even better facilities. In instruCting
the boys and girls of today, the citi-
zens and merchants of tomorrow, in
the science of systematic saving, the
teachers are molding the guarantee OF
the continuation of this civic progress
siveness. The children are eager to &C
cept the new course, judging from the
fact that eightysiX opened accounts
during the first three weeks. The Bris-
tol Herald explains the plan as follows.
Each Friday is bank day at the
school house The children bring their
money in small sums to the teachers
who enter the deposits upon the pupils
bank card and send the money to the
school bank. Two students chosen from
the commercial department of the high
school, keep the books and deposit the
money in the local bank in the name
of the school section. This furnishes
valuable drill in bookkeeping and pro-
notes a practical knowledge OF bust
ness practice. As soon as a pupils
deposit amounts to one dollar, the us
ual savings bank book is,issued, subject
to the regular rules, upon which sub
sequent deposits Of one dollar are
made No money is kept at the school
building The security is the same as
that possessed by any depostor in the
First National Bank of Bristol"

Railroad Thwarts WOman's Club

Editor of The Register:
The Civics department of the Wom-

toward identifying our station but the
following letter explains how our in
tentions were checked. We shall con-
tinue to have the flower beds in the

Dear Madam:
Mr.. Lawrence has referred to me
your letter of April 9TH relative to GER
tain improvements which the Wom-
ans Club at Middlebury desire to
make in the vicinity of our station.
We have given to the suggested I'M
provements very careful consideration,
and it does not seem possible for us
to grant your request, except with re-
spect to moving the grass back OF the
station building. Filling in from the
road to the track and installing the
proposed triangular plot south OF the
station will create a very difficult
drainage situation with resulting in
creased expense to the Railroad.
Further, there would be consider
able inconvenience caused patrons OF
the Railroad if automobiles have to
be parked on the north side of the
station.
The planting of woodbine to run on
the fence is Objectionable, because it
prevents painting and allows the fence
to deteriorate
| can assure you that we are fully
appreciatve of all the Woman's Club
has accomplished at Middlebury in
the past, and OF the interest they are
now displaying and in consequence OF
same regret it is not practicable for us
to comply with all of your suggestions.
Very truly yours,
