The difference in the two situations

A STATE CHORAL UNION.

We have too little in the way of
good entertainments in Vermont we
are altogether too ignorant of good
music In the cities of Europe and IN
the large cities of our own country,
there are many opportunities of hear
ing the best music at reasonable
prices. Only n very few of our Peo-
pie can go to the cities to hear the
great singers and musicians. 1t is
possible, however, to bring good music
to the people of the state; and, bet
ter vet, to train them in producing
good music. The day of the old sing
ing school has passed, and nothing ap-
pears to have taken its place. 1t is IN
necessary to argue that every village
would be better for the formation aud
maintenance of a choral organization.
The possibilities Of such movement
are almost unlimited and only efficient
leadership is needed to make this pos
sibility a reality. Many good things
are beyond the reach of Nermonters,
while others are to be obtained only
with great difficulty, but here is some
thing of great value that may be Sc
cured with comparative ease if the
people want it. Isn't it worth while2
Thus speaks the st. Adams Messen-
ger in advocating the suggestion of
state choral union that shall include
the chief towns and cities of Vermont,
and every word of the plea is true. A
union of this kind formed under the
direction of an efficient leader would
offer great opportunities for the mu
steal future of the state By means of
it each town could have its local con-
cert each season and the combined tai
ent of the union could give a festival
that would be of enormous value in
developing and exhibiting the musical
ability of Vermont. The success Of
such a project. however, would depend
largely on the support given by the
towns in which unions are formed.
Brattleboro, the home of one of the
largest musical instrument factories
in the world and of three as talented
vocalists as ever represented the
Green Mountain state, the supporter
of a splendid military band and an or
chestra equally as good, has shown a
lamentable lack of interest in the
choral organization which was formed
here a few years ago.

Barre's G. v. Experience.

While not desiring to rant unduly on
a much discussed subject and not wish
ing either to advertise the misfortunes
of other shipping centers, we should
like to refer briefly to the movement
now on foot in Brattleboro to secure
better freight facilities from the Cen
trail Vermont railroad, chiefly because
the case is quite analogous to that of
Barre a few months since. 1t seems
that at recent board of trade meeting
in Brattleboro a committee was APP
pointed to gather specific information
to present to the board of railroad
in case it should be de-
termined to appeal to the commission
for relief This decision came after

many Brattleboro citizens and leading

test was not the shortage of ears and

An Important Test Case.


The weekly payment law, which was
passed last fall by the Vermont legs-
lature, will 60 into effect on June l.,
and inasmuch as it is claimed to be of
doubtful constitutionality and as it af-
fccts hundreds of corporations in all
parts of the state, it has been arranged
by the attorney general and counsel
for some of the larger corporations, to
make up a test case for the supreme
court at the next session of that body.
In the meantime all other prosecutions
under the law are to be withheld till
the test case is decided. This plan,
which is simple, will save both the
state and the corporations from large
expense in protracted litigation.

States attorneys in the various counties
of the state have received notices from
Attorney General Clarke G. Fits that in
accordance with a recent decision of the
supreme court, all alternative sentences in
cases of intoxication must hereafter be
for imprisonment in the county Jail. Al
tentative sentences in cases of breach
of the peace may still be to the house of
correction at Rutland, but each county
must hereafter care for its own intoxica-
ton cases. A law enacted by the last leg

of minor offences could be put at work

KEEP GOING.

1t is to be hoped that the special
committee appointed by the board of
trade to collect data relative to the
local freight situation will not relax
its efforts on account of the improve
ment in service which has already
been brought about. By means Of ex-
ira help and an extra switching en-
CINE the congestion in the local freight
yard has been removed and just at
present conditions are better than
they have been for several months pre-
vious. This, however, should not be
enough to satisfy the people of Brat
tleboro. What is needed and should
be demanded is definite statement
from the Central Vermont management
as to Just what will be done to pre-
vent any recurrence of freight conges
ton here. Unless such a statement is
secured it is more than probable that
as soon as the present agitation blows
over the present force of the freight
house will be reduced, the extra
switcher sent to other parts and the
service allowed to dwindle to its form
err insufficiency. The special commit
tee of the board of trade ought to pre-
pare it's case just as carefully and eff
fectively as if the Central Vermont
had taken no notice of what has al
ready been done; it ought to ask the
railroad management for definite
promise that the trackage in the
Brattleboro yard will be increased to
such an extent that contingencies such
as arise at Valley Fair time can be met
without delay to regular traffic; in
short, it ought to construct of the mate
rial which is now available large and
formidable weapon which may be held
continually over the heads of the Cen
trail Vermont management, a weapon
suspended securely yet in such man
ner that it can be easily released if the
occasion requires. If this is not done
the good that has already been accom-
plished is likely to prove short-lived.

Pay the Railroaders More.
Barre Times.)

The powers-th be back of the Cen
trail Vermont railroad system appear to
have hit upon the right tactics at last
toward securing better service for their
patrons. 1t is by increasing the wages
of the employees so that workmen of
something besides two-by-four calibrc
can be retained in their employ. An
nouncement has just been made that
200 men employed along the route have
had an increase. The amount is small
but the company has made a good start.
Perhaps if it adheres to the same course
it will be able to furnish that prompt
and efficient service which has been
heretofore lacking. Decent employees
are worth more than 1925 per day and
so long as the Central paid no more
than that amount it could not get de-
cent and competent workmen. A great
deal of the freight congestion of the
past winter and spring was due as much
to poor workmen as to poor coal and
cold weather. And besides being under
paid, the men were overworked. No
man can retain his vitality and thus
render the best service when deprived
of a due amount of rest and recreation.
The employees of the Rutland railroad
recently petitioned for more pay and
easier hours of labor, and the request
was needed by the company. Both the
Central Vermont and Rutland railroads
will certainly not be the losers for any
tendency toward liberality to their hire
