CLEAN ATHLETICS WANTED.
>From the Montpelier JournalD


In discussing the probable formation
OF triangular foot ball league, to com
pete for the stone cup. the Barre Times
recently gave some advice that is worth
the attention of all Interested in school
athletics. Says the Times:
If Il foot ball league is to be formed
by three of the foremost preparatory
schools of the State-Goddard Seminary,
Montpelier Seminary. and st. Johnsbury
Academy-as reported, there is one re-
quirement which should be incorporated
in the agreement That is that all pro-
fessionalIsm he barred. 1t is the bane
of school athletics that the spirit of pro-
fessionaliSm creeps in, and the encroach-
meut, which already has been noted in
Vermont schools, should be guarded
against The desire to turn out win
ming teams leads the minimizing to go
beyond tn. limits of legitimate amateur
SPORT and brings upon the schools Ger
tam rcproach from those who are inter-
ested in true sport 1t is fine thing for
a school to be represented by a team of
athletes which whips its opponents, but
when such results are gained by means
OF hiring players to bc members of the
team the practice should lie stopped. 1t
is preferable for a school to be repre-
scented by weaker team. all of whose
members are bona tide students, than TO
have a lot Of hired players who may
possibly pursue Il 'Ohi - VI WV VI 'tA''s
to remove the curse of the thing.
Although no definite charges have
been made against the teams OF various
schools in Vermont it is we'll known that
certain runors have been current that
teams were not composed of really bona
fide students No evidence has been
brought out to substantiate these rumors
but it is probable that there is some
thing of truth in them. Now there is no
one school that should be singled out aS
particularly culpahlc in tins respect.
Undoubtedly nearly all the schools
which lay any claim to superiority in
athletics have at one time or another
been guilty of breach ol the rules of
amateur standing. And instead OF grow
ing less noticeable the spirit stun con-
tinues. This should be eliminated and
athletics in Vermont schools should be
placed and kept in purely amateur
basis. So the Times suggests that in
case league is formed among the
three schools mentioned that a strict add
herenCe to the rules of amateur stand
ing be required, and that at least no
player, representing any school, should
be allowed to play on a team, who re-
celVes remuneration for his services.
There VIII he more interest IN the league
and in addition it will insure a certain
degree of equality among the teams, If
such a rule is lived up to-

WHAT OUR NElGHBORS SAY
Part Played by the Sccond-CIass IL
ccnses in the Present situation.
UTrom the Randolph Herald)

From the fact that much of the evil
flowing from local option is traceable to
the second -class license, some of the news
papers base an argument against syS-
TEN of State control. They allege that
selling by the bottle to be taken away
is more productive of drunkenness than
serving by the glass to be drunk on the
premises. They maintain that more cases
of intoxication come from second-class
stores than from saloons. They are pro-
badly correct in this, but such II premise
hoes not lead one to the conclusion
that if all selling were done by persons
who were not pecuniarily interested in
increasing their sales the same or worse
results would follow. The patron of the
second-class store who is now heard from
in the police court Is also commonly "A
patron of the frst-class store. He HOSTS
in about all he can carry there and then
winds up on n bottle procured at the
other place. The combination does not
work well. a single source of supply
could regulate the amount dispensed much
better. 1t will not for a moment be
conceded that man whose profits de-
pend on the amount he sells, either by
the bottle or glass, will be as discreet
as one who is paid for his time only
and whose interests lie rather in dis
pensing the minimum, instead of the
maximum, amount The second-class
store under the existing law cannot he
made to serve as "A horrible example"
of what a State dispenSary would he
under public control. a much better
parallel was the wel-conductcd agency
under the prohibitory law which, in
spit" of the general abuse of the theory
back of it, was really responsible for
very little drunkenness. The financial
scandals that brought the agency sys-
TEN into dsrepute were the direct pro-
duct of divided authority and the OPP
portunty offered for many men 50 dis
posed to use their power COiruptly with
little chance of detection. Under proper
State control. this danger could he great
ly reduced; we will not claim it could be
absolutely banished Even the federal
postal system has been used by scoundrels
to their own enrichment, yet because of
a few abuses like that no one purposes
to abolish it.

his position, and made his last run

brooks rrtirement will be read with

reading on the Grand Trunk. and was
a conductor on that lire before enter

at Portland. Not long after tNu.!ug

the next. Since that time he has been
in constant service until now. owing
to delicate health, he has given UP the
work. 1t is doubtful if any conductor
on the Maine Central enjoys to Il
greater extent the good will of the
travelling public than does Conductc"
Philbrook. During AL the long years
of his service he NaS always the same
