In the DAYS News.

Albert Thomas, who has come to Amer
lea to study the Industrial organization Of
the United States and Canada for the
benefit of the International Labor Blu
reau, of which he is director, is one Of
the bunch of Frcnchmen whom the war
brought TO the surface where they have
made themselves famous. 81. Thomas is
essentially a strong man. He owes his
position to hard work When the war
began he served his country as leuten-
ant of infantry. Then he obtained a staff
position. In the perilous days Of the con
fiict he was summoned by the government
for munition work His qualification was
a familiarity with steel. lie was made
under secretary in charge Of muntiou
work. In this position he did SO well and
effectively that III the reorganization Of
the cabinet he was given the portfolio Of
munitions and transport.

DECEMBER BILLS.

There is tendency among people who
run charge accounts to let slide their
December bills spending their cash for
Christmas festivities and trusting some
how to pay the bills in January. This
is neither fair nor is it good business
1t is the movement Of money which
keeps business going. Holding up Peter
to buy frflls from Paul does not. in the
long run. benefit either Peter. Paul or
the buyer. The chances are that while
Paul is the recipient of little cash he
is going without the payment that James
owes him. because Peter owes it to
James and the buyer has not paid
Peter. The buyers credit. in turn, goes
down.
The analogy is not 20 much that of an
endless chain as OF n great river system.
The main movement is lakes river. sea.
clouds. rain, ground, rivulets, lakes.
river and so all over again. But the sys-
TEN is full of littIe unexpected brooks
and pools and waterfalls. and people
forget, in letting the attention be caught
by them, that if they dam up too many
tiny brooks, the great river languishes
and everybody suffers.
Most people mean to be square and
honest, but they have not learned how
to face facts. The fact is, il they want
their own business to be good in jan
uary February and March. they must
pay their bills in December

Enforcement of Liquor Law.

Huntington Free Press.
Freedom of the press is one of the
guarantees of the constitution of the
United States. as is also freedom of
speech The recent release Of various
men from the federal prison to which
they were sentenced for utterances
against the welfare of our nation in war,
serves To remind US, however, that free
dom for ourselves does not mean license
10 interfere with the liberty of others or
the general welfare.
The same principle applies TO the sup
port and criticism of law We have
every right 10 question any law. We
have no right, however, moral or other
wise, to seek TO discourage enforcement
of law
The appeal of President Harding to
all patriotic people to help enforce the
l.prohibitory law is a timely aid for the
movement for the more thorough enforce
| mcnt of the prohibitory law in Vermont
President IIarding's appeal should ap-
ply especially to all right-thinking news
papers in America III general as we'll as
Vermont in particular al this time.
Thomas Jefferson stated a great and
fundamental principle when he said he
would rather have newspapers without
government than government with
out newspapers.
jefferson plainly had in mind news
papers which uphold law and order and
not sheets which promote lawlessness
| and encourage disrespect of law by both
| precept and example.
The prohibitory amendment to the
constitution of the United Suites is now
| u part of the nations organic law. The
| spirit of law enforcement in this con
nection finds another cxempli6cation in
| the words of the Master: He that is
| not with me is against ne; and he that
| gathereth not scattereth abroad"
Disregard of law for the protection of
H., L -
reproach TO our nation. So with the vio-
! lation of other laws. The spirit of law
! lcssness was promoted for centuries by
| widespread drunkenness.
The enforcement of prohibition means
| the enforcement of many other laws in
! volvi~- the sanctity of human life and
| individual rights. lie that is not for the
| enforcement of law is against it,
Are You for or against law enforce
| ment?

FOOLISH HUNTING.

When the federal bill to regulate
hunting and protect migratory birds
came up in the senate the other day, one
Of the senators holly attacked the meas
IRE on the ground that it interfered
with the citizens right to hunt"
Evidently the senator regards that as
one of the inaIienable rights guaranteed
by the Declaration of Independence and
the United States constitution. Possibly
it is. There is something in the consti-
tuition, anyway. about the right to bear
arms" and bearing arms probably pre-
supposes the right to use them. 1t might
never have occurred to the Fathers Of
the constitution to limit an American
citizens hunting.
But times have changed. The air
land and water are no longer full OF
game. Civilized man has encroached
more and more on the wild life thai
once filed the continent. until many val
liable species have been wholly destroyed
and many others are doomed to extinc
ton unless there is a change in the pol
icy and practice and birds, beasts an,
| fish are fostered as natural resources.
There may be Il constitutional RICH
| to kill any living thing. There may b
| even moral right to do so, though tina
| is open to question. But if the peopl
who insist on unlimited freedom in tina
| respect were to have their way. befor
! long there would be no longer anythin
| left for them to kill. America would b
! stripped even of songbirds. as Italy ha
| been.
