THE WEEKLY PAYMENT LAW.

The Signals reference to the weekly pay
ment law and deals has started a discus
sion in the state press that should prove
interesting to machine politicians, fore
shadowing as it does the still more vigor-
Gus protest that is bound to come if the
plan outlined by the machine steering
committee is carried out as per program
arranged at Montpelier last fall. Should
the occasion call for it, the Signal will
furnish proof of pre-arranged deal by
quoting statements made by prominent
Republicans while the legislature was in
session, and can assure its contemporaries
that the legislative committee of the Vei-
mont State Branch, A. F. of L., is pre-
pared to furnish satisfactory proof of these
statements if the deal goes through as
outlined by corporation lobbyists and the
new law is declared unconstitutional.
Labor merely asks for square deal; and
having shown its willingness to play a
fair game by Withholding all criticism of
the powers that be, labor doesn't propose
to remain quiescent while the politicians
are cutting up monkey-shines to fool the

A acknowledgements c andid ate

Although many candidates for state
office have doomed on the political hori-
zon during the past few months and still
others are coming to the front, the impor-
tant office of Acknowledgements has re-
ceived little attention from the would-be
slate makers. Hon. Willard f. Barnes of
Addison, the genial and popular proprie-
tor of the st. Frederick at Chimney
Point, seems to be the man to fill the
office with credit to both the state and
himself. Whether the absence OF other
candidates for the Office is due to the
fact that Mr.. Barnes is the logical candi-
date we do not know, but the fact re-
mains that he is eminently fitted for the
position. His legislative and executive
ability, his wide acquaintance, under
standing of the affairs of Vermont, his un-
questioned ability as presiding officer, to-
gether with his popularity throughout the
state and his loyalty to the Republican
party are few reasons why he might
well be accepted as the candidate for lieu
tenant-governor. Mr.. Barnes has not de-
clared himself candidate but our re-
spect for his ability and regard for rep
resentative son of Addison county leads
US to urge his candidacy. Vergennes

Town Fortunately Located.

The town of Berlin, il tolls nd.

tate jump, jump, jump, Just because b

OF s10,s00. What put that price on The
farm? 1t was not the extreme proiar
tivity OF the soil, for there are mag
farms just as good in other sections
The reason then was its peculiarly sdyas
tageous location. The fact that there az
two hustling little cities within cay
access, each affording splendid marks
for farm products, accounts for the IN
creased valuation Of the Al9rich property
in part. What is more, the Location
affords opportunity for development q
real estate investment which increased is

it would bring for mere farm returns

Those Confederate veterans who, re-
turning from the JEFF Davis monument
dedication, highly exhilarated by the ex-
citement of the event, marched down
Pennsylvania avenue armed and flying
the. rebel flag which they attempted to
carry inside the capitol, met with a merit
ed rebuke when they were firmly turned
away from it's doors. The North stands
a good deal of this "lost cause" nonsense
from the South without murmur, even
raising no protest when monument is
reared to the arbitrator, Jeff Davis, but
it is carrying the sentiment rather too far
when men swearing allegiance to the
Stars and Stripes seek to place the EN-.
blem of bloody and wicked rebellion
within the sacred precincts of the capito
building itself.

ting rebuke, and that he can run Wild
without trouble. So he does. II some
body outside, like school teacher, tries
10 exercise restraint not known at home,
the boy resents il, feels that his dignity
has been offended and gets ugly. Quite
often he receives home approval In his
course, or his distorted reports of what
has happened are ecepted there in pre-
erenee to the teachers version. With
this state OF feeling in a community, what
chance is there OF maintaining proper
school discipline? The teacher receives the
blame when clashes occur, and naturally
the teacher avoids trouble just as long as
possible. Pupils know the situation and
take full advantage. Sometimes, as in
this Brattleboro case, they play so far be-
yond the limit tina. il cannot be over
looked, but even then there viii be found
a tendency to side with them rather than
with the school authorities.
A competent English critic says that the
average American child is consummate
nuisance In his behavior and that the
marvel is how he ever sobers down to be-
come decent man and citizen. II is
largely true. Take child in company
and you will find him the center OF an an
mated group of elders, doting ON his
every word and act, the child responding
in the very natural way OF being bold
and coarse. We mollycoddle our young
ones when we ought to slap 'em, soms-
times. AT any rate, we begin early to
encourage the traits that lead to lswless-
ness, II not viciousness. Parental rule
at home is almost a lost art. The schools
reflect il, society reflects it. Instead Of
innocent fun, it takes something little
of color TO enlist the real zest OF young
sters, who would see il differently II they
were properly instructed at home. I'm
til we mend our course as parents, we
shall note the effect in our schools, and
until we do we cannot well complain that
schools are not kept as they used to be.

people and belittle the supreme court, be
ing determined to expose the little two
by-four trick that the lobbyists quietly
boasted OF having stacked the cards for
before the weekly payment law passed
either house or senate.-union Signal.
This is decidedly interesting, II goes
without saying that the people would
quickly rebuke any party or politicians
who should play such measly trick on
them as the Signal here outlines. The
eontemporary's charges are OF so serious
a nature that whether the law is upheld
or not by the courts all the facts ON
which il bases them should be made
known at once, in order that the persons
responsible should be marked for siaugh-
ter. We therefore call upon the Signal
TO produce the proof OF its assertions
now.
incidentally, we would like to ask the
Signal few questions. Is il not fact
that the weekly payment bill as prepared
and introduced was actively supported by
the Vermont State Branch, A. F. of l.,
through its representatives present at
Montpelier, including the Signal editor
himself, who spoke for it at the public
hearings and urged members OF both
branches OF the legislature 10 vote for it9
Did any representative of organized labor
discover any flaw in the bill to which be
called attention at any stage of the pro-
ceedingss Was anybody warned that
there was scat in the meal." II such
a plot as the Signal now reports was
known in advance to labor's representa-
tives, why did they not sound the alarmG
1t looks little as II the A. F. OF L.
were anxious to have the law overturned
in order TO discredit somebody, person
ally Objectionable to il. Once more we
ask the Signal 10 produce the proof and
to explain why it raised no note of warn
ing, II proof it had.

Boy Burglars at the Junction.

burglary occurred in White River
junction Saturday night, June /, in
which two youths from the state indus
trial school at Vergennes figured as prin-
cipals. One was Elmer Kenyon, who
was sent to the school from Richmond
for breaking into stores at that place and
escaped about three months ago. The
other was Richard Shaddock Of the juno
tion, who is now on parole.
Some time in the night, these boys
broke into F / Pippin's secondhand
store and helped themselves to gold pens,
penholders, neckties and few other ar
ticles, and on the person OF Kenyon when
arrested was found revolver taken from
Pippin's stock.
The boys were taken into custody Sun
day morning about o'clock by Deputy
Sheriff Richard F. Hoar of that place,
who found them in bed at the Maple
Tree Inn on the Point. The goods were
found in their POSSESSION and Shaddock
had loaded revolver under his pillow
when arrestd. Both boys are said to be
between II and IS years old.

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.

Brattleboro has rumpus in its high
school, one result of which has been the
expulsion and suspension OF six pupils on
account of their participation in various
pranks and breaches of discipline. The
worst of these was cutting down the
American flag at the school building the
night before Memorial day and substitute
ing the skull and cross-bones emblem.
The punishment meted out to the offend
ers is resented by the parents Of some OF
them, according to report, who may seek
to compel the restoration OF their children
to the school.
The experience of Brattleboro in this
affair is not out OF the common. One OF
the marked tendencies of the present is a
growing spirit of what can be character
lied in no milder terms than pure rowdy-
ism and lawlessness among young people
of both sexes, but more noticeable among
boys. The discipline of our schools
suffers constantly from it, with conse-
quent loss of energy to teachers and waste
to the whole costly system. Instructors
in our larger schools get along with it
has best they can, conscious of its demon
slizing effect, but generally powerless to
check it. They know what ought to be
done, but they also know by experience
the difficulties in the way of preserv-
ing that form of order and discipline in
the schools that should prevail.
The truth is that public sentiment is
woefully lax toward the conduct of young
people everywhere, in school and out. 1t
looks on complacently while boys become
rowdies and girls hoydens. 1t puts almost
no restraint on youth. This is true OF
the home, where public sentiment has its
source. 1t is the result there of condi-
tions that have not always existed. Gen.
orally it comes from the apathy or in
diligence of parents. The old days OF
large families are past. The few children
born in the home of the present are pet
ted and pampered from the moment OF
birth, their virtues extolled and their de-
fects ignored until the wonder is that
they are not all spoiled. When child
of the olden time had to knock around
among dozen or so brothers and sisters
with father and mother too busy to dance
attendance on his every within, he grew
up differently. He had to shuttle fol
himself from the start, and one thing
soon learned was that he could get along
better by behaving decently. Nowadays
from the time little tootsie-wootsie hal
his first tooth till he gets into the rush
line of the high school football team, tn,
boy is made to feel that the whole uni
verse centers about his own importan
self; that whatever he says or does will re
ceive parental approval, or at least no fit

Titton, Of 6eecher Fame, Dead.

The death Of Theodore Tilton, a lonely
old man in foreign land, marks the end
Of the last chapter of one of the most
dramatic stories in the history of the
country. In 1874, Henry Ward Beecher
stood at the apex Of his fame as the great
est English-speaking preacher in the
world. There was only one man who an
preached the summit upon which he
stood, Charles Haddon Sturgeon, but it
is generally agreed that the English
preacher, as an all-round man, occupied a
secondary place. Beecher has never had
a peer, before nor since, in the American
pulpit. His name was tower of
strength in whatever cause it was en-
listed. Plymouth church influenced DO
litics and religion. Suddenly, like light
ming from clear sky, bolt of scandal
struck the pedestal upon which the great
preacher stood. The charge came from
the author, editor, popular lecturer, The
odore Tilton, who had been a parishion-
er and bosom friend of Beecher, The
whole country wallowed in the slime OF
that trial for months. The lives of the
principals were turned inside out. The
finest legal talent that money could Sc
cure was ranged on both sides, and it was
battle to the death. The trial lasted
more than six months, and ended with a
disagreement Of the jury, after a deliber-
alton Of nine days, the jury standing IL
to 8 in favor of the defendant. Public
sentiment has always been divided as to
the facts in the case, since the trial did
not result in the complete and over
whelming vindication of the BROOKLYN
preacher. Mr.. Beecher, however, moved
with serenity through the scene, support.
ed Loyalty by his church and his family.
and maintained his position until his
death. 1t was not SO with Tilton, His
family was broken up, he led for few
years an active life on the lecture plat.
form until the curiosity of the people
was satisfied, after which he went abroad
and sunk into obscurity. Nearly all the
parties of the great tragedy, which shook
society at the time to its very founda.
tions, have passed away, and with the
death OF Tilton the most prominent ac
tor in the attack disappears from human
sight.-Rutland Herald.

Trouble In 6rattIeboro School.

The Brattleboro school board voted to
expel one high school student and one
student in the ninth grade and to sus-
pend four high school students.
The two expelled have caused con-
siderable trouble and have been repri.
manded for violation OF the school rules,
but the act OF vandalism which caused
the committee to take this decisive ster
was done on the night before Memorial
day, when the flag which fioated from a
flagstaff on the high school grounds was
cut down and banner bearing the skull
and cross-bones was hoisted in its place.
Six students were summoned with their
parents before the committee. They
made a confession.
The action of the school board has
stirred up much discussion. The fathers
OF two OF the boys charge the board with
unfairly discriminating against their
sons, while another sought legal advice,
declaring that the end was not yet.
Not all the boys were implicated in all
the offences. The offences which cul-
minated in the action OF the board in
cluded cutting down the flag, although
the boys claim that was not done with
any improper spirit toward the flag, the
hosting of the skull and cross-bones,
smoking in the building, cutting the bell
rope and other acts
