Supporting Candidates

Some people have peculiar ideas of
the obligations of a newspaper. Some
believe that as soon as two or more
candidates for public office say they
are candidates for the office, the pa
pers Of the state should Immediately
! take sides and advise their readers
how to vote, regardless of whether
any of the candidates have said any.
thing that indicates how they stand
on issues or that they recognize there
are any issues. Editorial advice to
support one candidate in preference
to all others is called supporting
tnat candidate.
Only the other day the editor of the
| Times was asked why he didn't sup
port Abram W. Foote for governor,
meaning why doesn't an editorial APP
pear in the Times advising others to
vote for Mr.. Foote for that high office
OF course some of the friends of
Redfleld Proctor suggest the same
kind of support for their candidate
While on this question of support
1t lisa good time to say a few things
The governor can be and ought to be
a strong factor in legislation, but he
cannot be unless he has vigorous
ideas on state policies, So far there
arc two candidates for governor of
Vermont Both have issued state
ments and both have said about the
same things. Both are for rigid econ
omy in the administration of states
government. That is old talk and
means nothing without a bill of par,
tioulars. We have talked economy
until blue in the face and still the
state tax mounts. We have two can
didates committed to a principle that
candidates for several decades have
advocated, but they offer no solution
of the problem except statement in
general terms

Martin S. Villas of Burlington has
announced that he Is a candidate for
Congress from this district. as II
was feared he might. 1t does not
seem possible tat the Republicans
of the First Vermont district will not
be able to find some Member OF tho
party suitable to send to congress.
If, by any chance. Villas should get
the Republican nomination. 1t would
probably meaR the election OF James
h. Kennedy who Is to be the Demo
cratic nominee. The Banner has on
by the indliest feelings for Mr.. Villas
but does not think he ought TO 30 to
congress. We have no doubt that
he has cost the state OF Vermont J
million dollars during the past fe"
years through his propensity t.
wreck everything with which he
comes in contact by oyermuch tai!
and his tendency to cloud up even d
clear issue by eruptions of language
The country has too much of That
sort now in congress and. if the peo
pie Of the First district feel friendly
to the United States, they will MOI
send Mr. Villas to Washington.

GATHER FOR JUDGMENT DAY
Moravians Visit Burial Ground Easter Sunday to Welcome the Dead,
 Should They Arise.

The MOravian churches of this coun- try have their Passion week, with somewhat peculiar rites. They set tied in Pennsylvania and North Caro- lima. At Bethlehem and other places in Pennsylvania they are the predom- mating religious sect. At Salem, N. C., they established very inter- esting and unique colony in 1753. There they have a strong church and one of the finest colleges in the coun- try Religious service is daily oc- currence in the church during Pas sion week. The sacrament is admin istered and many of the younger set are confirmed. On Saturday, the closing day, they have the love feast and break bread together as one happy family. The juvenile pleasures are not overlooked. Late in the after noon of Saturday the children are to be seen busily engaged about the hedges and fences constructing rabbit nests in which they expect rabbits to lay eggs during the night, and they are never disappointed; they always find the nests bountifully supplied with various colored eggs on Easter morn ing. 'hS' q
 The church congregation Is up be- fore the dawn of Easter day. They assemble at the church and proceed to the burying ground to welcome the dead should they rise. They are led by a brass band and church choir The concourse passes up the broad graveled walk, which runs between rows of ancient cedars, to the center of the cemetery, which is odd, quaint and beautiful There they pause and sing hymns, in which all the people join The singing stops as the sun light comes over the rugged eastern hills All is silent and solemn while the clergyman reads out the names of those who have been placed to rest in the burying ground since the pre- vious Easter.

RECIPE FOR LONG LIFE

POLAR BLUFF, Mo, April 15.- There are three rules for longevity, according to William Huskey, one hundred years old of Smelterville. These reasons are: First, moderate habits; second, work hard; and third. attend to your own business.
 A few days ago Huskey celebrated his one hundredth birthday, sitting in his "old favorite" rocking chair by his Fireplace" in the little farm home

Easter and the Passover.

Although the date of Easter had been settled with the particular inten- tion of preventing it from ever oc- curing on the same day as the Jewish Passover, the Nicean~ decree failed to prevent this entirely. Since 1900 Easter and the Passover have been ob- servad together on April 12 in 1905, 1925 and 1908. Also they will occur together on April 1, 1923; April IT, 1927, and April 8, 1881. However, the Passover usually falls on the week be- fore Easter. It never comes before March 20 nor later than April %.

HAWAIIAN TRADE SLUMPS

HONOLULU, T. H., April 15. - Hawaii's trade balance with main land United States, which in 1920 was a robust S,000,O00, dropped in 1921 to mere $7,000,O00, a loss of $111 100000. The loss is said by in sugar prices and to decreased sugar production and not to any big increase in importation. Experts from the Territory in 1920 aggregat- ed $192,383, 1855, while in 1921 they totaled only 71,669,115.

"MORE ECCNOMf NECESSARY'
 "It is of supreme importance that new methods be devised and that more economy be obtained in the ne cessary maintenance and terminal work, now costing approximately 65 per cent of the total operating ex- penses."
 Hines expressed belief that the public desired greater economies through unification of facilities.
 "The public soon vii realize that it can save an important part of the heavy cost of railroad operation by forcing further unification," he added.
 "The transportation act provides one plan for voluntary consolidation of railroad properties under the Inter- state Commerce Commission. I be- lieve this is the first step, but I be- lieve, eventually there probably will have to be compulsory consolidation into few large systems.
 Meanwhile I believe that the ter minals ought to be more fully consoli- dated and plan speedily developed for common ownership of freight cars.
 Ways must be found to reduce the heavy operating costs so as to reduce

rates and still leave the railroads with adequate returns. These economies, fully believe, will result eventually in a consolidation of all roads into few large systems"

Bids in Support Of Partners No Trump

II IS much easer to state the re-
quirements for assisting a No
Trump than for assisting a suit bid.
In the latter case the chances Of o
suit being trumped, the number o.
trumps held, Bignletons, trump
honors all combine to make the re-
quirements for assisting a suit bid
both complex and difficult. In a
No Trump bid, however, no ele.
nent appears except the high cards
and it. is easy to determine their
value by the rules already develop.
ed. quick tricks are what count in
a No Trump. and the number Of
tricks a hand Is worth in support
Of a partners original No Trump
bid, is Just double its quick trick
values. An original No Trump by
first or second hand requires at
least two quick tricks distributed
in at least tire suits. It also pre-.
sumes as part OF the bid at least
one and one-half quick tricks in
partners hann, tue Eo.called oyer.
age expectancy OF support. 1t
follows therefore. that the partner
OF No Trump bid by first or sec.
ond hand can raise the No Trump
bid once for each half quick trick
In excess OF one and one-half, the
number Of quick tricks which part
ner expects him to hold when max,
Ing the bid. Another element en-.
tiers into the question when q suit
bid Is. made over the No Trump.
In such case the partner Of the
No Trump bidder should not raise
the bid, unless holding a stopper in
the suit bid, even though he may
have the, necessary number OF
quick tricks to do SO. The follow.
ing example hands presume No
Trump bid by first hand and an
overBid Of two Clubs by second
hand. The qtfuick trick values have
been doubled:
Hearts-1O, 0, 6, 70, tricks)
Clubs-A, 4, 2, e trick)
Diamonds-K, z, a, Q, Il trick
Spades-Q, ], 10, Il tricky
This hand has a stopper in the
suit bid and two quick tricks so tho
proper bid is two No Trump.
Hearts,, 2, 70 trick
Clubs-Q, 10, 8, z, G, az trick
Diamonds-A, q, 2, q tricks
Spades-K, 4. 2, u tricky
This hand is too strong In tho
Club suit for a two No Trump bid
so should double two Clubs. Part.
ner must then use his judgment
whether to bid two No Trump or
play for the penalty.
Hearts-A. Q, 2, e 1-2 tricks
Clubs 10, Z, 4, 70 trick
.Diamonds-K. 4, 2, u trick
spades-J, 10, z, 6, 10 trick

pass.
Clubs-7, Az, 10 tricky
Diamonds-A, 4. 8, 2, (2 tricks)
Spades-Q, 4, 2, (1.2 trick
This hand is SO strong that two
No Trump is the proper bid, even
though It hasn't stopper in the
Club suit: 1t is almost a certainty
that partner has the Club suit
stopped, and II so, should make
game at No Trump.
