Fleetwood's Majority.
Bennington Banner

SIX thousand dollars or whereabouts is
what james T.. Kennedy says his cam
paign cost him. Clearly this doesn't
represent the whole expense unless the
Hays Advertising Agency has reduced
ITS charges since the Hon. Jim Hardness
ran for governor, Another interesting
point that has come up in connection
with the recent congressional election is
whether the votes were legally and cor
rectiy counted. 1t appears that in scores
OF towns hundreds of votes We're thrown
out because the name of Fleetwood was
marked in both the Republican and Pro
hibltion columns 1t was figured that
cross against the same name in two sep
arate columns made the vote invalid. On
the other hand in Bennington and good
many other towns ballot thus marked
was considered as clearly showing the in
tent of the voter and the ballot was
counted. If all of these ballots in the
district We're counted it would increase
Fleetwood's ma jority by probably toward
LOGO votes but this would not change
the result. If. on the other side, large
proportion of these votes were counted
illegally when they should have been
thrown out it is conceivable that the ac-
tual result might be changed. 1t may
not be best to upset a matter which is
finally settled but it would be lust as well
10 know what the courts would say as to
the counting of ballots marked twice for
Fleetwood and thrown out in some towns
and counted in others. similar situa-
ton may arise again.

ANOTHER COAL sTRIKEe

Representatives of the soft coal min
ers and operators. meeting in Chicago
after long preparation, have had trouble
in agreeing on "a method whereby they
can get together later TO figure out next
years wage scale.
When there is so much difficulty with
a mere preliminary. what will they do
when they face the actual wage question
and the real tug of war begins again?
Will there be the same old deadlock
with nothing to replace the present
agreement when it ends the first of next.
April. and consequent shutdown of the
coal industry indefinitely, while the min
ers and operators try to starve each
other out and really do starye out the in
nocent public?
If there is any more of that kind of
business in the coal industry, the demand
for government control of the mines will
become overwhelming. The country is
in no mood to repeat the experience of
the present year.

Many streams that al one time yielded
an important food supply as well as
good sport for the angler have become
barren of fish through the pollution of
the water by discharges from manufac-
turing plants along their banks. In
some communities efforts have been made
TO compel the owners of these plants to
dispose otherwise of deletcrious waste
materials, but, speaking generally. little
has been accomplished in the way of
safeguarding the purity of rivers.
Under these circumstances importance
attaches to the recent prosecution of the
owners of a glue factory on Cattaraugus
creek, near Gowanda, in New York state.

when dead fish were found in the stream

adays, even the largest streams have
fewer fish than ever before, and this con-

rivers and brooks can be prevented.

quality of its shad. some of the finest

was a tradition that survived in the manu-

EUROPEAN art is receiving another
X powerful impetus from Russia,
- whence now emerges the Moscow
Art Theatre, under the leadership of
Constantin Stanislavsky. Prague and
Berlin have already seen them and been
profoundly stirred by the individuals, the
ensemble and the whole amazing meter
Of this theatre. Paris will have seen
them for the first time in December, and
New York will get a view Of this most
celebrated theater in the world next
January.
The revolutionary ferment which the
Russian ballet started was felt in every
Geld Of artistic creation, and so too the
reaction to this company of artists IS
bound to 20 far beyond the theatre. The
vision Of Russia, ancient and modern,
which their repertory of four plays opens
up. will be as revitalizing as voyage OF
discovery. Inevitably the world outside
which does not understand Russian, must
sake them in through the eye, and the
