seemingly has acted as deterrent to
him.
The Free Press, while speaking in
complimentary terms of the Rutland
man, says: eve always like to see a
brother newspaper man succeed in his
undertakings, but as a inter Of eff
ficient government no newspaperman
should be in Congress where he cannot
hit a head through the press fhen
needed" Which brings the case of
Congressman Greene himself to mind
and the fact that he for a great many
years was member Of The Fourth
Estate.
just because going to Congress from
this district has lost much of its at
traction is no reason why the people
should be indifferent as to who does
go. They should exercise almost as
much caution as if the district were to
be continued indefinitely. The two
years of service at Washington would
be most valuable experience which
might be utilized for the genral good of
the state after the term had been
finished.
And, quite contrary to what The
Free Press says, newspaperman
could utilize the experience probably
bitter than a representative from any
oher profession. The short tetrm would
in sense, be a post -graduate school
which would do much in equipping
newspaperman for better, fuller and

While the vote by which the Hous'
adopted the Macarthur Ware amend
ment to the naval appropriation bill
carrying with it a navy personnel o.
$4,000 men, was rather decisive, thu
preponderance of strength in support
of the amendment was not sufficiently
overwhelming to convince one thai
there was not real element of doubt
about the necessity of a so-ealled sbie
navy complement. And too, the fact
that party lines were pretty thorough
ly broken down in the record vote is
a further indication that there was
honest conviction on both sides Of the
question. The contention that the 67,-
600 naval personnel proposed by the
small navy" men would not be enough
to man all the vessels of the United
States navy under the proposed reduc-
tion of naval ornaments seems to have
been one Of the deciding factors Of the
contest, with Pres. Harding's influence

ing as strong agency.

people will be gained through the con
seriousness in the young people that
something is being done for them and
for the younger ones who are coming
along. A community which has some.
thing that appeals to the young ideas
is looked upon as community worthy
tying up to. There will be less Of the
feeling Of unrest, more of disposi-
tion to stay at home and build up the
home community in other things be-
sides athletics. In other words, a
greater spirit of contentment viii be
generated and the community will re-
ceive the benefits therefrom. So, in
due season, the st. Adams athletic
field, if maintained in fit shape and
equipped with necessary devices and
Accomplishments OF outdoor sports, will
be likely to have appreciable influence
on the progress of that community.

grownups OF the city viii begin to see

would find well-kept athletic field a
material aid in retaining its younger
people. Once established in their
younger mature life, these people
would be apt to retain their resi-
dence. And that is what Vermont most
seriously needs-the retention Of its
own folks.

HindIey Not a Candidate?

The Burlington Free Press says that
1t has heard that Howard l.. Hindley,
editor of The Rutland Herald, who has
ben prominently mentioned as prob
able successor to Frank l.. Greene as
representative from the first Vermont
congressional district, will not be a
candidate. The Free Press generally
is careful in such matters and no doubt
it is correct.
Going TO Congress from the first dis.
trict is not so attractive now as usual
because of the probability that Yer

Forgetting for the moment the lack
Of faith shown by soviet Russia and
Germany in forming secret agree
ment at the Genoa conference where
they were virtually pledged to act in
consort with all the other powers in
volved, one is inclined to say that if
those two nations should be allowed to
continue in their secret understanding
it would not be long before they them
selves would be by the ears. 1t is
scarcely probable that two such big
and competing nations, lying close to-
gether, could continue long in amity,
once they get to reaching out for COM
merce. Moreover, there is the element
of constancy and good faith TO be con-
sidered when those two governments
are involved There is reason to be-
lieve that, despite apparent binding
agreement, either one or both of them
would find it extremely easy to break
away from any mere scrap Of paper"
understanding. But consideration of
the binding force Of the RussoGer
man treaty is, OF course, of secondary
Importance just now. The matter OF
prime Importance is the fact that both
Germany and Russia violated the trust
put in them by the other nations in the
Genoa conference.

In resolving to bar book agents and

some of the fakes and nuisances that
are being operated in practically every
community in the country, but at the

some very worthy persons and will be
hurting some very good causes. For

AN ATHLETIC FIELD AS A COM
