New Candidate for Speaker.

The entry, of III. Albion Bailey Of
Winooski into the speakership contest
brings very strong contender for.
ward from the west side" Repre-.
sentative Bailey has shown what he
can do as a campaigner in his own town
and will undoubtedly carry with him a
very considerable strength in Chitten.
den, Franklin, Lamoille and Addison
counties. At the same time, many OF
those who watched Albion Bailey's
career in the legislature. of 1921 believe
that he would be of much more value
to his constituents and to the state as
the head OF some important and active
committee and through his work as a
floor leader. This young man has the
elements of leadership. but it does not
follow that he is fitted for the more or
less routine work of the speakership.-

THE BLINDNESS OF PREJUDICE

THE BLINDNESS OF PREJUDICE
/ disqualification OF how far blind
prejudice may carry the public mine
was given at Windsor, Ontario, ons
day recently when several truckloads
Of a Detroit Sunday newspaper ar
rived in Windsor. 1t seems that the
newspaper in question had previously
published an article giving the state
ment Of the former German crown
| prince that the American army de-
/ feated Germany in the World war.
Feeling that the credit was improperly
| placed, The Canadian veterans of the
war became so violently enraged that
they took out their spite on the news i
paper, which had printed the article,
overlooking the fact that the state
ment was not made by the newspaper
but by the former German crown
prince. The Canadian veterans en-
deavored to have the Canadian depart
ment of customs bar the Detroit pa
per, but that department took the
ground that the article on who beat
Germany was harmless and refused
to bar the newspaper from Canada.
Taking matters into their own hands
then, the Canadian veterans and their
sympathizers met the trucks bearing
the Detroit Sunday newspaper, seized
the bundles of newspapers, scattered
them in the streets and hurled some
into the Detroit river. 1t was mob
rule with vengeance; yet the Detroit
newspaper was entirely within its
rights in printing statement credited
to someone else. Perhaps when they
ccol off somewhat, the Canadian vet
Grams through their organization will
repudiate the mob action of their fell
lows at Windsor and at least make an
apology to the Detroit newspaper.
Some people have the mistaken idea |
that nothing should be printed in the
newspapers except that which accords
with their own views. Those same
people or some Others With equally |
narrow viewpoint rush to the newspa-
pcrs with exploits setting forth their
'wn virtue but expect the newspapers
% refrain from printing anything ex-
'ept what is Mandatory about them.
