No Ballot fer Windham County Demo
Gratis.
BARRE Times. J


An odd situation has developed in
Windham county where no Democratic
nominations for county officers were filed
within the specified time, in consequence
of which the county clerk declares that
no ballot will be provided for the Demo
cratic party TO be used in the primary
on Sept. II. Under recent amendment
to the primary law, it was provided that
there should be separate party ballots,
the voter going to the polling place and
asking for the ballot of the party with
which he was affiliated. This was done
no doubt. for the purpose of preventing
the crossing and the recrossing of party
lines by voters with rather slender allie
glance to any party. The trainers of the
law may not have foreseen that there
would come about Il situation in which no
names would be filed by one of the recog-
nized parties but it is not probable that
the intent of the trainers of the law was
to disfranchise the large number of vot-
ers who might be members of that party.
The primary is for the participation of
all voters regardless of party allegiance.
providing the party is able to muster
enough voting strength TO comply with
the law. Therefore, it should not be con
sidered consistent with the intent of the
Lawmakers to disbar virtually, the
voters of any party through failure to
provide blank ballots. The Democratic
party of Windham county may be in the
minority and its members may be rather
quiescent as far as the primary is CON
cerned, but it is nevertheless one of the
two recognized parties of the present day
and should have blank ballot for the
use of such Democratic voters as may go
to the polls ON primary day. Possibly
the Democrats of Windham county. il
they should go to the courts in the mat
ter, might be able to compel the prepare
ton of blank ballot carrying the party
designation at the top and providing
blank spaces after the various county
otnces to be filed.

THE IRISH CURSE.

1t is said that the death of Michael
Collins. following so closely upon that
of Arthur Griffith, is arousing in many
superstitious Irish minds fear lest
there is actually a curse upon Ireland
which forever viii prevent her attaining
self government even in the Free State
form, and which will eventually drive
her to implore the return of English aid
in administering her affairs
Lord Roseberry once peferSed to a
malignant fate" which pursued Ireland,
and this Is being recalled in present dis
cussions.
There is but one answer to any such
misgivings The curse which rests upon
Ireland is "not in her stars. but in her
self" As the New York Times puts it.
"It is not a wicked spell laid upon Ire
land with which her sons have to con-
tend, but the mad endeavors of small
faction of her people to ruin the country
if they cannot rule it,
1t is with the suppression of this OBJ
structive minority that the 80 per cent
of the Irish who favor the Free State
have to deal, and not with the haver-
ings of some ancient banshee. Let them
realize their strength and exercise il
promptly and the Irish curse soon will
be laid forever.

A RADIO TAX.

So far most of the radio broadcasting
has been controlled and paid for by the
companies manufacturing radio equip
ment. 1t was a natural method of pop
ularizing this branch of wireless develop
ment. Recently. however, many persons
have begun to express concern as to the
future of broadcasting. Once an indi-
vidual owns. receiving set he can listen
in, free of charge on all radio programs.
VIII the manufacturing companies al
ways wish to bear the burden of paying
for this entertainment? Would it be
wise to leave broadcasting forever in
their hands?
But why worry? inquiries the editor of
one newspapers radio department.
A small radio tax. this writer sug-
gests, is the simple and obvious develop
ment 1t seems likely that it cannot
possibly remain in the control of a syn
dictate or any special class of manufac-
turers. 1t is the instrument of the whole
people and falls as reasonably under
government control as does the postal
service.
So far in spite of the fact that thous-
ands of citizens have installed radio out
fits in their homes, there remain other
thousands who have not begun to make
use of it at all. In time, it is to be ex-
pected that radio will be almost as uni
versally used as the mails, and a prop
erly adjusted tax to cover it viii be as
little annoyance as the payment of post
age is now.
