The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1922-07-24

The Wakefield, Mass, man who ac-
cepted term" of two nights in his
own wretched little horsebarn to es-
cape seven days in Jail following con-
yiction on the charge Of cruelty to his
horse in not giving the animal salts
factory surroundings, probably took
the alternative" to demonstrate that
the place was not so bad after all.
However, he did not really demon
strate that contention although his
term of two nights in the stable
may have satisfied his own reasoning
power. incidentally, the public mind
is not convinced that the Judge who
sentenced him had the right to impose
any such sentence. If the law says
Imprisonment for an offense, it must
needs be imprisonment in a prison, not
in some place where the fancy of the
Judge might direct. If this sort of
poetic license is allowed to continue,
some judges with more zeal than fidel-
ity to law might render tome very
bizarre sentences.

Don't Ignore a Reporter.

Corrections of wedding notices and
other news reports would never be
necessary if the principals would CO.
operate with the newspaper represent
alive instead Of ignoring or misleading
him.
Recently a Tribune reporter met a
newly married local couple as they en-
tered hotel in a strange town, bag
aud baggage, for the first halt in their
honeymoon. married or about to belD
he queried. "No, nothing doing" he
piled the groom. The reporters insist
ence that appearances belied his words
brought from the groom only greater
emphasis in the denial The hotel
register, however, told the truth, but
too late to enable the reporter TO OBJ
tain the details Of the ceremony for
the bashful honeymooners to review
in the morning and to clip for their
friends The result Of their refusal to
acknowledge their wedding was the
briefest notice that they had been
married, so brief that it disappoint-
ed them, certainly, and their families.
In contrast with this Indifference
that is always afterward regretted,
another groom sent his best man to
the Tribune Office with the details Of
his marriage that was planned for the
same evening of the papers publica-
ton. He was satisfied with his notice
and did not seek corrections in another
paper.
Wedding notices ought to be fled in
the family album for reference and
history. Their publication costs the
newspaper money and the principals
nothing but the time necessary to give
the information desired. The news
papers interest in a wedding is only
casual, the groom and bride are gfsatly
and instead of being I'M
to the reporter they
ought TO appreciate the favor of a pre-
else narrative of the ceremony thai is
most important in their lives.
This logic is as applicable to other
news events. II The newspaper Is in
terested. it will publish whatever de-
tails IL can obtain. II is to the ad-
vantage of the principals to have these
details correct. Therefore, they ought

FILM CENSORSHIP IMPOSSIBLE,
According to Viewpoint Of Will H

Los Angeles, Cal, July 24.-Will H.
hays, former postmaster general and
now head Of the Motion Picture Pro.
ducers' and Distributors association,
here to-day for weeks study in the
stronghold Of the industry, said in an
informal statement that the principle
of freedom upon which this nation was
founded, makes public censorship OF
press, pulpit, film or spoken word vir-
tually an impossibility.

ship he said, will fail in everything
it undertakes. 1t hasn't been done sue

people who know nothing about the
business are named on censorship

The four prisoners in the Orleans
county jail at Newport who sawed
their way to freedom last Saturday
morning must have had some extreme

THE BLAME PUT ON SP0NTANE-
OuS COMBUSTION.

Spontaneous combustion, if reports
be true, is getting in considerable dew
astating work in various parts of Yer.
mont during the recent heated season,
the fires ensuing having caused much
property loss. Spontaneous combus-
ton is a very uncertain thing to deal
with; it works in curious ways and
in most unexpected places. However,
it is a conceded fact that spontaneous
combustion does occur and that fires
result therefrom. Conditions must, of
course, be favorable. Garages are like
ly places for the outburst of fire fol-
lowing spontaneous combustion. Oily
waste materials, oily papers and other
infammable materials arc the beds in
which the spontaneous combustion
finds chance to work; and it is
tempting danger and loss for anyone
to allow such waste materials to col
lect and become menace. The sure
way to circumvent spontaneous COM
bustion is to keep the condition of
ones property such that fire cannot
break out of its own accord. In other
words, do not allow waste materials
to collect.
