not likely to be the last election to
be held, but fragrant disregard of

law, are formidable germs of trouble
in the body polite. Temporary sue

eXultation among thinking people.
And however it may appear to our

think will make like appeal to some
of the journals readers, that if look =

herself to the columns of the Journ-
al; she can find samples of expert
workmanship in the advertisements
of the Democratic State Committee
signed by the Secretary-and even
the speeches of Mr.. Pattangall are
not altogether lacking in slurs of like

WITH REGARD TO BUILDING
COSTS

The high cost of building forces
the average wage Garner to pay for
rent a greater proportion of his
family budget than he is justified in
doing, or else to occupy accommoda-
ton beneath his status" -
Building costs in the United States
have doubled in the last ten years"
So we are told by the National
Industrial Conference Board that has
been making an investigation of
the building situation. The readers
own experience with the housing
situation probably will be found
confirmatory of the report.
This report states further that
the shortage Of building labor is
the outstanding factor of the high
cost OF building and was the chief
cause of the limitation of con-
struction work: that there has been
discoura cement of apprentices in the
building trades; that there has
been an increase OF 100 per cent
since 1914 in the hourly wages OF
Il building crafts; that the cost of
building reflects the cost of homes:
that shortage in building labor also
reflects in some degree the shortage

A SAMPLE OF KNOWING HOW

Those acquainted with the
previous condition of the highway
over Louden Hill and across the
railroad at Halowell and who have
venturcd over it since repairs were
made upon it are capable of form
ing an opinion respecting it. To
get full value of the opinion it
should also be informed respecting
all the facts. These repairs, con-
sidering the heavy traffic to which
this road is subjected, must in the
nature of things be of n somewhat
temporary character, but the i'm
the comparatively small expense re-
quired for the work.
The reason for these gratifying
results is to be found in the fact
that the repairs were supervised by
those who knew how. Mr.. Sargent
detailed Mr.. Wiggin. the Depart
ment's supervisor of maintenance,
to have charge of these repairs. 1t
IeaIIN seems publlc service to call
attention to this, aside from the
justice of according recognition to
those responsible. OF course the
Highway Department should know
how to secure better results from
such an undertaking than should
be expected of those not having
like experience and facilities for
knowing how. 1t should be crafty
ing to all Of us to learn that the De-
partment is meeting the obligation.
1t will be worth the while of the
public to keep this in mind and
seek to take advantage of the OPP
portunity afforded. Here is an in
stance Of a remarkable TRANSFORMED
, ton in highway conditions accom-
plished at comparatively slight ex-
pense. 1t should not pass unheeded
by anyone interested in good roads,
and that ought to include all of us.

NO CAUSE FOR EMULATION

/ The Journal is taken TO task by a
references to tho part played by
Democratic votes in the Republican
primaries. The writer of the COM
munication. published in the Letter
Box" assuming to speak for Mr.
Pattangall and for honest Repub-
leans, expresses the opinion that
Republicans are to be blamed for
encouraging the Democrats to vote m
the Republican primary.
Any Republican who encouraged a
Democrat to vote in the Republican
primary with the understanding that
tho Democrat would vote the Demo-
cratic ticket in the fall election, wit
tingly or unwittingly inflicted an in
jury on the Republican party, an in
jury from which the Democratic
party hopes to profit. Had an injury
not been done at the primary the
chances OF the Democratic party in
this State would be decidedly less
than they are at present
But this, to our mind does not af-
ford good excuse for Democrats, hav-
ing no contest of their own, messing
in Republican affairs, with the de-
liberate purpose of nominating some
one whom they did not intend to
support at the election. If they are
Intelligent they knew such procedure
to be unfair. contrary alike to the
spirit of the law and of fair play.
And where the Democratic worker
was engaged in doing this he was
working for the success of the Demo-
cratic party in September without
regard to fairness or decency. Is he
to be rewarded for this by Repuh-
lican votes at the State election?
We do not think so. though perhaps
the wish is father of The thought.
On behalf of both Democrats and
Republicans. we think it but fair to
say that evidence respecting one
polling place indicates that ward

TIME THE MONKEYS OBJECTED

Brother Bill" Bryan strenuously
objects to the notion that man has
descended from monkeys. 1t is
about time to receive protest from
the monkeys. We are reminded of
this by the reports Of crowds of
people riding In automobiles to
Plymouth, Vt. stealing flowers from
the grave of Calvin Coolidge. Jr..
chipping bits from the gravestone,
even taking away handfuls of dirt.
Such occurrences are disquieting
as well as disgusting. Are these
the sovereign people" to whom we
hook for the perpetuatiou of our gov
ernmentr Are theirs the minds
which must winnow the chain from
the grain of government problems?
On the contrary, one now sees
why demasogues thrive; why
bunkum captivates the fancy of so
many. Such folk If they have rea-
son are not using it at Plymouth
4 VI, and cannot be expected to use
Il at home; they have not respect
= for others at Plymouth. have not
decency, even; why should they be
expected to have these at home.
Surely there is nothing in the
exhilirating air and the inspiring
scenery OF Vermont 10 turn them
into morons for the time beins.

is possible to have Democratic

for which he makes and has made

Now in the story before this I left
off just as the little baldheaded shop
keeper was explaining how foolish the
little rabbit had been to give the ma gic
blue glass egg to the old witch. And
pretty soon YOU shall hear why.
For, no sooner did the ola witch
reach her house in the woods than she
went out 10 the little shed where she
kept her chickens and placed the blue
glass egg in a nest. Then. calling TO
a little black hen she told her TO sit
on the esq. BY and by, the little black
hen began TO Ceckle and there in the

began 10 grow larger and larger until
in short time, he was a great big
magnificent bird. Pretty soon he
walked over to the old witch's house
and tapped on the little glass pane
until the old witch opened the door.

a high cracked voice. happy to see
such a beautiful bird you can we'll

fearing the wicked witch might cut

was hidden behind the door.

Wei, as soon as the little old man
stopped speaking, the bunny boy put
on his cap and started off for the
