| it would seem that Gov. Hartness
would not need to 60 out of the coun'
ty to make good appointment. The
fact that there are several aspirants
in the county for the position should
not initiate at all against the chances
of the appointment of a Washington
county man; rather it should tend to
make the selection of Washington
county man even more to be desired
As is well known, Judge Stanton was
a Washington county man and
his death leaves this whole large
section of the state without a
trial Judge of its own, where
conditions are such as to make it seem
advisable that there should be a resi-
dent superior Judge. Burlington and
Rutland, the other two important cen
ters of the state, as we'll as Brattle-
boro, have trial judges who are resi-
dents of those localities, in the per
sons of Judge Moulton, Judge Butler
and Judge Chase. Of course, selections
of judges are not made purely on geo
graphical lines, but when an important
court center of the state has such
wealth of capable material as WASH
ington county has, in addition to lis
other claims for recognition, it would
seem like going wide of the mark TO
disregard geographical lines as well as
especial fitness of men. The Times
hopes, therefore, that Gov. Hardness
will see fit to choose for the vaca lcy
on the bench a man who is resident
Of Washington county. j. Ward Ca-"4r

CURRENT COMMENT
The Attempted Lynehing on Cape Cod.

The endeayor of mob of Infatuated
men and women at Wareham, and
again at Barnstable, TO lynch the Cape
Verde Island negroes guilty Of an
atrocious assault on young white
woman, will be noted throughout the
country, and especially in those states
which have most suffered criticism be-
cause of the frequency of lynehing
within their borders. This repeated
effort in Massachusetts, itself 10 sub
stitute mob violence for legal processes
is a sober reminder how constant and
vigilant must be the campaign. even in
TO instil respect for law and order. II
is national mercy that, through the
firmness of the jails officials, the effort
was frustrated.
The appeal of Gov. Cox TO the citi-
zens of Wareham has the forceful
eloquenee of a grave emergency. Moth
ing could be more timely than his earn
est reminder that "the eyes of the ma
tion" have recently been turned toward
Plymouth where was established civil
liberty under ordered government. HAD
a lynching taken place, not only would
it have been blot upon the history of
Massachusetts, but il would have been
a national disaster in its reactions up
on the efforts Of all good citizens in
every state to curb the spirit of VIC
lence and to uphold the law. When
Gov. Cox issues his Thanksgiving proc.
laimation it may we'll include an ex-
preston of profound gratitude that
those on guard at the Wareham and
Barnstable jails performed their duty
and so saved the tate,"-Springfeld

Leaving 1t to Uncle Sam.

In the series of interviews with Cab
met members appearing in The Jour
nal, Vice President Coolidge expresses
the opinion that the greatest problem
confronting the American people is the
dangerous habit of depending on Uncle
Sam for everything. Private initia'
tive, he thinks, Is weakened these DAYS
by too much psternalism.
No doubt, some matters are better
handled by the government than by in
dividuals. In the exercise Of police
power, public defense and business of
a wholly public nature, the govern.
ment has certain great advantages,
But IL il evident that the pendulum
is swinging far toward psternalism.
And the inherent disadvantages and
dangers are not sufficiently consid-
cred.
Edward n. Hurley, formerly in
charge of the government shipbuilding
operations, started in as a firm believ-
er in government ownership of trans
portstion. But he has changed his
mind. because he finds that "men com
monty drop a third of their former
energy and efficiency after a short sea
son on the government payroll; the
railroads had the same experience un-
der government operation" Where ev-
cry important question has to be re-
ferred to Washington, il becomes the
habit to avoid responsibility and to
pass the buck"
Then, too, it becomes easy to look
to Uncle Sam as having unlimited re-
sources When the hazards of bust
ness do not fall on the individual. and
the government stands ready to make
good every loss, men do not lie awake
nights to make both ends meet Why
should they, when the government acts
as a good providence for every citizen

STRIKE AGAINST
p - .
F0UR-SACK LOAD
Package Freight Handlers Quit
in Protest; Few willing to
Serve As StrikebreakerS.

Despite the hardtimes and the large
! number of men out Of employment,
T. w. Moore, the freight handling
contractor for the Great Lakes Tran
sit company is finding it exceedingly
difficult to get sufficient men to work
as strikebreakers on the docks where
200 dockworkers went on strike dur
ing the week.
Officials announced shortly after
the strike was called that they were
having no trouble in getting men, but
that announcement did not square
with an advertisement they ran in the
daily papers asking for 200 men; wage
SIS cents an hour during the day and
70 cents an hour for Sunday and
holiday work.
The leaders Of the men say that they
quit because of the heavy loads they
were forced to wheel, particularly dur
ing the hot spell of weather. They
were required to load on their trucks
four 98pound sacks Of flour, with
the exception of hard bran, which
cannot be conveniently carried with a
fourth sack.
Pacific railroad had charge of the
loading and unloading of boats, but
|. the steampship company has since
taken over the work which is now IN
| charge of T. w. Moore, freight handl-
! ing contractor. 1t is charged that the
| contractor insists on speeding up the
men it Is against such speeding they
| are protesting.
No union is involved in the strike
although it is claimed that many OF
the men are members Of the I. w. W..
while a few claim membership in the

PREPARE PLANS
FOR LABOR DAY
Six Thousand Union Men in
Parade Will Be Answer to
Claims Of Anti UnioniStS.

"All hail the power Of Jesus name,
we're building two a day." That was
the answer of a famous preacher to
the claim of materialists that the
church was losing out. Statistics then
showed that there were two churches
being built every day in the United
States. So it is with union labor.
Anti-uniOnists are claiming that it is
slipping, but in Duluth there will be
more than 5000 unon workers in line
next Labor day, despite the bitter or
ganized opposition they have encount-
cred from the anti-unionists.
Plans for Labor day are about COM
pleted. There will be four bands and
four divisions in the parade which
will be held in the morning. In the
afternoon the union workers and their
friends will celebrate at Paramount
park, where there will be dancing,
music, sports and speaking.
The committee had hoped to induce
Frank Morrison, secretary of the A.
f. Of L., to speak here Labor day,
but he has written that he cannot
accept the invitation for the reason
that he had made a previous engage
ment. The committee on speakers is
endeavoring to obtain another speake r
of national prominence.
The Labor day committee is desir-
| Gus that the day be generally OBJ
served. Protest has been made to
the postmaster general against any
| delivery of mail by carriers on Labor
day. No stores, offices or other places
of business will be open, and only
residence nail, which is not impor-
tant, can be delivered. There is NO
| need for mail delivery Labor day.
The accumulation of a Sunday and
Monday mail never exceeds that Of
the holiday period, and it can be de.
livered on Tuesday with little addi-
| tiOnal effort. IL
