THE HIGH SCHOOL PROBLEM.
Suggestion That an Additional Room Be

Built in Connection with Structure now
in Use.
To the Editor of the Journal
The alleged need of a $1,000 OOn new school
building in Montpelier is to provide seat
ing room for about fifty High School
students. If extra seats can not be placed
in the present school buildings to accom-
modate them, why not build an additional
room, at small cost, to the present Union
School building to do it,
To place even this small number of
students in a new building would require
a new corps of teachers, besides many
other things to maintain it, while we have
an ample force of teachers now employed.
Bonding the city for two City Halls and
a horse barn filled with fat horses, that
unlike the miller's fat hogs, we know ON
whose grain they are fed, has doomed
Montpelier's debt and taxes so it would
seem wise not to add another 100000
for school building not needed ] am
sure Montpelier does not wish to build
a large school house to look at. Let the
agitation of new school building be post
poned for the present.

"A KICHEN CABINET.
(St. Adams Messenger)

(St. Adams Messenger)
"lf it is Governor Mead he will
have a staff of good advisers around
the coming session of the Legislature
and Senator John l.. Lewis of Or
leans, will be chief. The interests of
the State would be safe in such
hands. Governor Mead desires to
make his administration of real ben
eft to the State, he told the members
of the Mead Club at Rutland the 9TH
er night and he has the ability to do
it.'-St. Johnsbury Republican.
Yes, but the interests of the State
are not to be committed to such
hands. They are to be committed to
only one man, so far as the chief ex-
ecutive is concerned This is not
government by commission and the
Governor and council faded out of
our constitution years ago.
This extra-official junto that Doc
tor Mead proposes to create, this
political holding company that is to
take over the powers and duties and
responsibilities of the government
that the people are supposed to en-
trust to Doctor Mead and to exercise
them in it's own stead, has been aptly
termed by some Vermont contempt
rary the Kitchen Cabinet"
That name is not pleasantly re-
called in American history. 1t is as
ISOLATED with the administration of
Andrew Jackson and applied to the
little coterie of ambitious personal
friends that it was said in those days
had more influence over the presi-
dent than his constitutional advisers.
And the American people do not
like that kind of thing. They are
quite willing, indeed, they do expect,
that public servants in high office
will upon occasion take counsel with
representative men on the merits of
some question they may be called up
on to decide. Such a course is truly
consistent with our form of govern
ment and, in fact, obedient to its in
stinct and principles. Chief magis'
trates of States and of the Nation

cannot be expected TO be paragons
of infallible knowledge and must be
expected to advise when necessary
with men having special knowledge
of particular things. This is merely
consulting the true interests of dem
ocracy in a practical way.
But, the people expect their chief
magistrate to make the final decision
for himself and to accept full person
al responsibility for it. They are
jealous of any attempt to interpose
any unofficial counsellors as buffers
between them and the man they have
chosen to act for them and in theil

An odd case of trespass was tried recently

be applied to baseball here. The case
was tried before Judge Parry. 1t was
brought against the Burnage Cricket Club

During a match Butt hit the ball into ad-
joining property. owned by James Topping.
and hit the plaintiff ON the head. Topping
was ON his own property. tending to HIS
own affairs and was not watching the match.
and his counsel argued that the batsman

Los ANoELEs, Jan. I6,-- American avi-
ators still hold the record for speed In
starting and speed in fight.
Louis Paulhan failed in an attempt
to-day TO lower the record made by Glenn
Curtiss last Tuesday when his machine
arose into the air after a run OF % feet.
The Frenchman's mark to-day was
11S feet. The seven cylinder rotary engine
ON the Farman machine had been giving
some trouble and after an hour devoted
TO tuning it Paulhan made an attempt
to beat Curtiss's figures.
Despite a shower that fell at noon $1,000
persons went to Aviation Park. Two
thousand automobiles were packed ON
the northeastern side OF the field and
the crowd filled grand stands and boxes
and the throng extended a mile and a half
around the eastern and north sides Of the
course.
A brisk wind blew in from the sea and
swept from west to east across the field.
This kept the American machines close
TO the hangers and when they did come
out for an exhibition round most, Of the
aviators dew rather high and made wide
turns.
Willard entertained the crowd by some
ground manouvres when he made two
runs across the field at terrific speed
without attempting TO rise.
Paulhan did most OF the exhibition
work. and his appearance on the course
was the signal for prolonged cheering.
The announcement that Paulhan will
tomorrow attempt to break all records
for sustained fight created great in
tsrest. He declares he viii remain in the
air Eve hours and will cover more than
the 1A miles necessary to break the
record for sustained flight.
He declares he can fly from Los Angeles
TO San Diego. Citizens OF the Southern
city are enthusiastic over the proposed
flight and they say they will increase the
purse Of 81 200 offered TO any aviator
