Some people cannot understand why
the labor unions are so insistent on
recognition, = so anxious to have al
branches of trade "unionized," and SC
opposed to "open" shops. 1t looks to
them like trying to play the whole
hog" But there is reason for it, con-
sidered sound reason-from the union
standpoint. The union principle is
like that OF the old friars who resolved
first that the earth belonged to the
saints, and second that they were the
saints. The unions are fighting their
own battles, but they don't intend that
the non-union man shall profit there
by. They reason that if a workman
voluntarily remains outside of the
union he is entitled to none of the ben
efts that the unions secure for the
labor body. If it were. left entirely
optional for each man to join or not,
as is the case in "open" shops, many
would not belong and yet would be
sharers in all good things that came
through the unions agency. Then,
of course, the larger the unions the
more formidable they become and the
better able to make their power felt.
Every instinct of self-preservation
and OF selt-interest prompts the unions
to seek the effacement of the non
union men. With all the labor of the
country unionized, the reins OF power
would be just where the unions would
like TO have them-in their own hands.
So they lose no opportunity to coax or
to drive all labor into their ranks.
The true union man knows no greater
good than the good of his union. This
may be-some OF us think it is-a
wrong and unjust view, but it is the
union view.

To those interested in the "solid
session. school system il may be OF
interest TO know that the Edinburgh
Board school children are below the
average height and weight OF scholars
in England. Ii has been explained in
some measure by the bad system OF
meal times laid down in Edinburgh
and Scotland. generally. The dinner
interval is not allowed in Scotland
Board or other schools, half an hour or
twenty minutes being granted at noon
for luncheon, which generally consists
OF bread and butter. As the school
classes are not dismissed till p. m.
the children have practically no
nourishing food between 80 and so
o'clock. The Edinburgh Merchant
company, which provides secondary
education TO some 5000 children. has
resolved to adopt the English system
OF meal hours Montpelier Journal.
A good many Vermont parents are
among those interested" in the solid
session system. Most of them are
interested to break it up whenever
possible. 1t is about the worst nui-
sance characteristic of the modern fad
education. 1t serves no good ends
except to make easier and more CON-
Portable the duties of teachers and
pupils-and this only in a way.
School begins in the morning at an
untimely hour and continues. without
recess, often, or at best with only a
few moments intermission, long after
the noon hour, long after the stomach
OF the pupil is craving food, long after
the brain is tired and dulled. The
instruction of the last hour is prac-
tically valueless. Then school is dis
missed for the day, belated and over
hearty meal is eaten, and then come
an afternoon and evening of idleness,
recreation or worse. The pupil gets
tired of studying in the morning and
tired at play in the afternoon. The
whole domestic timetable is disar-
ranged, and the lot of the housewife
none too easy at best-made harder.
And wherein comes the compensating
benefit?

The Rutland Herald, seconded by
other license papers. is attacking the
fee system Tor police, whereby officers
are compensated in part on a basis OF
arrestslmade. The Herald contends
that the municipality should pay its
police regular salaries and should re-
quire them to do their full duty with
out further incentive. 1t says, 1.-THE
fee feature is in the nature OF an in
ducement 10 the police to overdo their
duty; that is, make arrests that are
not justifable. The Herald's theory
is very pretty, but human nature is
about the same when wrapped up in a
uniform as when outside; cops pre-
fer to earn their living without effort
if just as convenient. Doubtless it
would materially reduce the number
OF arrests if the fee system were abol-
ished, but is that the desirable endP
Is there any basis for the belief that
the Rutland police are too Jealous
Do not the arrests, almost without ex-
ception, plead guilty, thus admitting
the arrest to have been iustifable?
OF course we can see how it might
tend TO improve the feelings of the
Herald and other license supporters to
have some step taken that would make |
a more favorable showing for their
law from the court records. For in
