The only effective criticism is to provide something better. The many town organizations and societies could _profitably con- sider what could be done to improve matters along this line.

The Political Trouble Maker In a recent Globe editorial some very scathing criticisms were made concerning the editorials of a New York publisher. As an example of unvarnished English it was all that could be desired, and doubtless the case in point requires vigorous handling. But it might be remarked that the New York pub- lisher is not unique. For political purposes men of all kinds are willing to risk the public welfare. Sitting on the herring barrel in the corner store or pouring out a torrent of words in the legislative halls, there is the same perversion of truth and disregard of human happiness by the professional politi- cian... Heis out to win, and to gain his ends will wilfully misrepresent. To him the League of "Nations, or the good name of a Lloyd George, a Wilson, or a Clemenceau, are as nothing: He would plunge the world into war if he could gain anything by doing it. This type of politician is a menace to the world's safety, and should be condemed and discouraged wherever found. Serious Fires at Uxbridge Two serious fires have occurred in Uxbridge recently. The first caused damage to the extent of about $35,000 in the stores of Jones Hardware Co. and Jas. Alexander & Son.
