The question OF professionalism

no action in this respect. 1t has
been the custom for college students
to engage in playing professional
baseball during the summer months.

Improving the Home Property.

Vermillion Republican: The man
who owns a little home and keeps it
up in good shape is a public bene-
factor. He adds somewhat to the
attractivenesss of the neighborhood,
and hence increases the value of his
neighbours property as we'll as his
own. Every little Improvement
about the place is a contribution to
the prosperity Of the community.

AGAINST the Beef Trust.

The United States Supreme Court has
decided the great case against the Beef
Trust in favor of the people.
The litigation against the "Beef Trust
started in a prayer for an injunction to
restrain various firms who deal in beef
from doing certain things. This appli-
cation for an injunction was acted upon
favorably and then step by step the case
came through the courts until it reached
the L. S. Supreme court, whose decision
was made public Monday.
By the terms of injunction the de-
PENDANT dealers in beef were specifically
restrained "collusively and by agree
ment" from doing these things;
From refralning or refusing to bid
against one another in purchasing
cattle.
From directing their agents to SO re-
frain or refuse.
From arbitrarily raising or lowering or
fixing prices.
From limiting supplies to agents or
localities.

Elect Good Business Men,

There are a good many thoughtful
taxpayers in Rutland who will be in
clined to think that the St. Adams Mes
senger makes several good points in the
following, says the Rutland Daily News:
eff the business men of st. Adams were
to make up their minds, seriously and
earnestly, to make the election of a city
government next March a part of their
business in the next six weeks, perhaps
even the tax rate might be reduced
point or two, who knows? The time
Is about ripe for judicious economy in
the city finances. that is sure. and when
that is said it is with the knowledge that
st. Adams is probably as well off in this
regard as any other city of its size in
the state. But the pace of all of them
inclines to extravaganza and to loose
management of finances"
Both papers are right. If taxpayers
want low taxes and something to show
for the good money expended they will
select men to manage: the affairs of the
town as they would select men to man
age their property We're they called to
Europe and must entrust its management
to another.
They surely would not ask a man to
look after it who was simply "a good
fellow" or because he was looking for
job, or it was "his turn" to have good
job given him. Not much.
They would ask the most capable and
successful business man to undertake
the work.
When the taxpayers and voters use
the same care in selecting men to man.
age the affairs of the town, the schools
and the village, then, and not till then,
will they ever get the full value of the
money they pay in taxes; then and not
till then will they get lower taxes.
