ANNUAL CUT MADE
IN THB ]. {. SHOP
FORCE JANUARY 1

Effective January 1 there will be
a small reduction of the force In the
locomotive departments of the I'LL
no,s Central railroad shops. and a
work day will constitute eight hours
This announcement was made this
morning By Master Mechanic Joseph
II. Nash. as a result OF the expense
meeting held last Friday in Mem
phis. Fifty men will be thrown out
of employment by the reduction.
The reduction wiz be made be-
cause OF an economy wave that has
spread over the railroads, and owing
TO the fact that business decreases
slightly after the holiday rush.
The railroad has spent money Law
SHY for many months In repairing
equipment for the heavy business
and the force was retained longer
this year than has been the custom
for the cuts have been yearly.
The reduction of the work day
from nine hours to eight hours in all
departments excepting the round
house Will be felt by practically all
the employees This is due to the
short days. and Il Is said the old
hours will be resumed when the days
increase.
Despite the reduction. the shops
will be left with a large force, aud
much work will be turned out. Whei.
the cut is in force there will be 10l
more employees in the departments
than there were at this time last
year, and hence will not be felt 50
badly.

PRESS COMMENT.
HoWe,s Desirable Publicity

The Randolph Herald and Newsunder.
took to construct little word pleasan.
try over st. ohnsbury and her repre-
sentative, as likening Howe and st.
JOhnsbury to "a lost soul at the portals
OF heaven" whereupon the Morrisvile
News and Citizen rises in pious indigna-
ton to the defense of both Howe and st.
.lohnsbury. Says our contemporary to
the northward: "St Johnsbury is gen
orally well represented in the state Leg.
islature, even when she does send a re
publican. She sends strong men, men of
sterling integrity and upright character,
and has even sent those from whom
have been selected speaker and lieu.
tenant governor. St. Dohnsburv is a
pretty good town, it has one of the best
manufacturing industries in the state,
and is made up of law-abidng citizens
and 1t is unjust and unfair to throw out
inuendoes OF this kind concerning it."
All OF this may be pleasing to Mr.
Howe OF St. Johnsbury, for it is giving
him that degree of publicity which he un
doubtedly desires. However, it does no
seem to us that it was the Randolph
contemporaries purpose to paint him il
the deepest dye of villain, but to con
trast his personality to the quiet, peace
iul nature of his surroundings in tn
scale town. Howe is not man to lie
the grass grow under his feet; that
what was undoubtedly meant Barr

Death of Veteran Driver.

By the death Of Charley" Taylor at
White River Junction, Jam g. at the ad-
vanced age of 1903, New England loses
its veteran horseman. Mr.. Taylor was
born December %, 1906 in Canada and
was of German descent. His life had
been eventiul and full of interest. When
very young he became accustomed to
horses and passed his long life as a
jockey and driver. He had always been
called successful driver and was never
known to use unfair means in winning a
race. His love for the animals in his
charge was unlimited and for years he
slept in the stall with them.
In his latter years Mr., Taylor was an
unfailing attraction'at the races innorth-
ern New England and had the honor of
congratulations from President Roose-
welt at the Windsor horse show in 1902
and an invitation to Washington, which
was never accepted. At the Vermont
state fair in 1908 he was great attrac-
ton, driving strange horse in an exhi-
bltion halfmile in fast time, and also
during the fall attended various fairs in
Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
LIS SlOSh IltlOuuCIlOH ny lue STARTER
to the crowd was something as follows
and never failed to win applause: "Mr.
Taylor attributes his good health and
longevity to three things: He has never
used tobacco in any form, has never used
alcoholic drinks and has never been mar
ried. At the age of 100 years he has
lived 100 years without doctor and
is not going to begin to have one now"
He was never sued, nor did he ever bring
suit. His instinct in racing matters is
shown by the fact that he invariably
told the time he was making on the
track to second without referring to a
watch.
In appearance, of low stature and
Slight build, his movements gave no in.
dications of his great age, though his
form and features proclaimed him a
veteran. He was kind and genial in
manner and his stories of his racing ex
perlences were many and rich.

Mr.. Plumley'S Address.

Hon. Frank Plumley of Mortified, our
Congressman-elect, spoke in the Y. M.
c. A. gymnasium, Friday night, this be-
ing the third in the series of practical
talks that have been given this season.
Charles W. Steele gracefully introduced
the speaker, and his theme, Good Citi-
zenship," was handled in an eloquent
and highly instructive manner Mr..
Plumley said that good citizenship began
in the home, radiating from there to the
community, to the state, to the nation.
He drew some striking Illustrations
from his recent sojourn in Venezuela, a
country whose constitution is similar to
ours, but where every office holder is ex-
pected to exploit the office for his own
personal benefit. Mr.. Plumley paid a
notable tribute to the President, in
closing by declaring that during his term
OF office the public conscience had been
awakened. corruption in high places had
been stopped, and a great advance in
good citizenship had been the natural
result.
