1t is SO far to San Francisco that we
feel TO danger of charge of contempt
of court, when we express the opinion
that the Arbuckle debauch viii not re
suit in a prison sentence for its author.
1t has made a disgusting stencil IN the
public nostrils, though we observe a
wide spread willingness to take it in,
and, if guessing is of any good, the af-
fair will gradually peter out of public
Notice. Even Fatty, banished now
from the movies in an outbuTst of in
dignant virtue, viii reappear and will
draw more spectators than before, due
to the increase of interest in the hero
of the drunken reyel The details of
this shameful episode are exposed with
peculiar frankness by the newspapers,
but they suggest something more than
an exceptional affair They rather leave
the public to infer that this one hap
pened to turn out disastrously. 1t is
an illustration of the way easy money
can undermine people.

BrattlebOrO's Population.
Barre Times. J


Basing the estimate on new names
added by the compilers of the town di-
rectory, some Brattleboro people believe
that their town : population Is now APP
proNimately l000G-9,SSo, to be exact
"a contrast to the official figures of s.
a32, as secured by the L. s. census
enumerators less than two years ago.
Such an increase in population il, 50
short a time and under such slack
times in business would be most re
markabe indeed; and there is consid
cradle doubt outside of Brattleboro and
by more conservative estimators in
Brattleboro that the town has made an
advance of such proportions. 1t is pos
sible that Brattleboro has been gaining
in population during the last two years,
but we have found that figures com
piled by makers of the directory are
rather unreliable basis on which to
make an estimate. If we were to rely
on the figures of new names added TO
the Barre directory. less the names
hoped, we should have to conclude
that Barre has made substantial gains
III population since the 1920 census; but
We do not believe that Barre has made
such gains as the net increase in names
liz the directory would seem to indicate.
" neither the system of taking names
for the Brattleboro directory Is more
exact than it is in Barre is matter of
doubt We understand that the direct
Dries were compiled by the same firm and,
presumably. under the same system of
gathering names and compiling figures.
However we sincerely hope that Brat
Il ,bOro has been making extensive
sDins in population even though the in
crease there might ieopardize Barre 5
position as third in the state as to pop
uation. or threaten to displace Ben
nington us fourth.
