The death Of scarcely any OH
er American could bring to tie
people Of the South a keener
sense Of personal loss and dishessI
than that of Mr.. Thomas Nielsen
Page and, though a Virginian
and a Southerner of the warme,t
feeling and loyalty, he will be a :
most equally mourned in other
parts of the country. With a
path"S and sweetness hardy

Southern people during and after
the Confederate war, but tn ~

could give no offence-hIs ns

bitterness escaped his pen. L

A Priceless Relic.
(St. Adams Messenger. }

tSt. AlDduS 1eSSeIlSeF.J
"At the Graphic Arts Exposition,
which opens Aug. % in Boston, will be
exhibited the first printing press ever
used in the United States, now the prop
erty of the Vermont Historical society.
This old Stephen Daye press was
brought to Boston in 1888 and set up in
Cambridge. Later it was taken to Con-
necticut where it remained several years
and was then removed to Hanover, n.
II. In 1871 it was set up in Westmin-
ster to be used in printing The Vermont
Gazette or Green Mountain Post Boy,
the first newspaper published In Yer
mont. This ancient press, nearly 500
years old, will make the trip from Mont
pelier to Boston by the most modern
transportation methods, namely, motor
truck "-BrattlebOr RefOrmer.
This old printing press is relic of
great historic value and it would be an
everlasting shame if anything should
happen to it on it's journey to Boston
and back Even though the sending of
it may be approved still it is to be
hoped that the value of their freight will
be impressed upon the truck drivers. In
deed, custodian ought to go on the
truck to make sure that no chances of
reckless driving are taken.
Just as an indication of what this old
press represents, the writer may say that
while examining many literary treas
ures in the famous library at Oxford
university in England, his eye was
struck by a little folder under a glass
examination the seal of the state of
Vermont was revealed There was a
picture of this same old press, or rather
small cut on a little program or some
thing of the sort gotten out by the Yer
mont Historical society.
Oxford couldn't have the press. but
this reproduction of it was deemed
worthy of place of high honor. 1t
would be gracious thing for the state
of Vermont to present a real photo
graph of this press to Oxford. IL the
small cut is deemed so important, a suit
able photograph would be most accep-
table And at all times we ought to
guard this treasure with every care.

LAWFUL INEBRIATION

Strange and yet perhaps true is the
latest explanation of the recent beer
deluge in Johnstown, Pa. Not only was
the mayors real purpose the upholding
of the Volstead act but, according to
bartenders whose veracity is considered
unimpeachable, the stuff they have been
selling has been lawful Volstead liquor.
The whole business, according to this
version, has been a practical joke on the
public, half-serious and half-comic, i'm
tended at the same time to eliminate the
traffic in poisonous bootleg whiskey and
soothe the thirsty citizens by pretending
to give them full-strength beer in unlim-
tied quantities.
Both objects seem to have been at
tanned. In the presence of such free
flowing malt liquor, who wanted to sneak
around paying extortionate prices for
concentrated poison? The thirsty focked
to the bars and appeased their thirst
and reyeled in the jollity of legalized in
ebriation.
Yes, they really became inebriated-
| happily but not hopelessly-and they
did it, apparently, on beer containing
the supposedly Ineffective Volsteadian
proportion of one-half of one per cent
alcohol. Not one of those drinkers
would ever have dreamed that it could
be done. The beer was effective because
| they expected it to be.
1t was an impressive illustration OF
the triumph of Imagination over material
things. And if this sort of Johnstown
Imagination could only be spread over
the country and made permanent, il
might solve the national prohibition
problem.

WHEN THE PUBLIC ARISES.

President Harding has sent letter to
the president of the Illinois Chamber of
/ Commerce, commencing the efforts of
! that organization to forward the Herrin
| investigation by raising funds to finance
it. People generally will be glad to
] know that the matter is going ahead
! with the public support, though it seems
little strange that in any state private
financing should be necessary in such a
/ case.
| Whatever forced the issue, it is signif-
cant that the lawabiding element among
| the private citizens of the state has evil
denced its determination that justice
| shall be done. When the public arises to
/ demand its rights, generally something
moves.
The example of the Illinois citizenry
may well be needed by the country at
| large as a hint to arise and demand that
/ the great industrial disputes now men
acing the life of the nation be settled
without further delay.
| The President has spoken to congress
| for the nation. Cannot the nation speak
to congress for itself, backing the Presi-
dent in his demands for clean, fearless
| legislation to clear the situation? And
can it not speak with an equally authori-
tative voice to the employers and en-
ployes locked in the disputes which
| darken the national outlook? Financial
| contributions win not be necessary in
| this matter, but the force of public
! opinion should be brought to bear. 1t
is in RELOCATING great public questions
to the status of a private fight and keep
| ing hands off accordingly that the peace
| loving majority loses out.

porary also wants Craftsbury to send
Horace Graham back to Montpelier as a
member of the house of representatives
because it thinks he can do more than
most people to unscramble much be
scrambled situation. And yet one recalls
this. among other things about Honest
Uncle Horace" that he was the father of
the board of control act which The Free
Press holds responsible in no little de-
gree for the unsatisfactory state of affairs
in the government. The board of control
act was the landmark of the Graham ad-
ministration, so far as. legislation is CON
cerned. Perhaps Honest Uncle Horace"
has changed his mind about it all and
would tear down this monument to his
administration. As for his being sent to
MoEtpelier-well, that is still another
matter.

The Speakership Contest.
CRutland Herald. }

The decision of Mayor Curtis S. Emery
of Newport not TO be n candidate for
representative from that lively city re-
moves from the speakership contest a
most important possibility With difficult
ties lowering about the election of Frank
f. Barber of Brattleboro and Orlando
Martin of Plainfield. the contest as it
stands narrows down to Harvey l..
Kingsley of this city and Mayor Bailey
of WinoosRi. The latter is young man
of decided ability and promise, but would
probably do better work at the head of
some important committee So far as
legislative experience goes, Senator
Kingsley probably is better qualified.

cord, were arrested on the arrival of the
midnight train from Boston to Montreal
in this city last night and are locked up
in the police station charged with steal

The police say they were riding the
bumpers. In some unexplained manner
the fast express became uncoupled near
where the pair were found. This hap
pened near Boscawen. Night Officers
Greeley and Burr took the men into GUS
tody when the train reached here. Both
young men deny they have any connec-
ton with the railroad strike. Prompt
discovery of the accident averted any
trouble to the train.

Leave Rifles at Home.
(AIontpelier Argus. }

The fatal accident in Underhin where
15-year-old Burlington boy was shot
accidentally by his companion raises the
question whether parents should per-
NIT their boys to take firearms on camp
ing trips. As this is not a season when
firearms can be used in hunting there is
some wonder what they had the rifle for,
anyway.

vERM0NTER LOSES $500.
Pockets Picked While Being Shown
Around Boston by Two Strangers.

BOSTON. Aug 2S.-Taken in hand
by two supposed friends at the South
Station yesterday afternoon, Clayton A.
Hubbard of Barton, VT, had his peck
cts picked while he was being shown
around town. The men accosted him at
the terminal and after friendly overtures
one of the pair suggested a walk around
the city. Hubbard assented.
While walking up Beach street he de-
cided that he would buy some cigars.
Leaving his acquaintance outside a
cigar store, he went in.
When he put his hand in his pocket
he found that his money, 5000 in all,
was gone Rushing out of the store, he
found that his friends had also dis
appeared.
He went to the Lagrange street police
station where he reported his loss and
gave descriptions of the men.
