Teachers Pensions.
(Randolph Herald.0

Brattleboro is among the first towns
to consider voting a pension to veteran
school teachers. under an act passed at
the last legislative session, giving towns
and districts the right to retire teach,
ers of over 80 years service on hall
pay, based on their average salary fol
the last five years of their work. Inc
Organ City has in Mrs. Stella 5. Elmer
n teacher who has given 35 years OF hel
life to teaching. and her service is de
seribed as of inestimable value to the
community. 1t is thought fitting to eX'
tend to her the benefit that. the law
contemplates. This teachers pension
act will not be favored in all quarters
Granted that teacher who has given
as much as 80 wears to school work, and
whose service has been so satisfactory
as to command a majority vote of the
district in favor of the pension should
have it. the minority will feel that
such a law is an extraordinary stretcf
of governmental authority. 1T IS, we
believe. the first instance of civil pen
sion yet authorized, As such 1T STANDS M
as a precedent. If teachers are as q
class the most worthy, there are othel
classes whose claims are close BEHIND
and we NAV expect these to be pushed
oratuitv, or testimonial, at the
hands of a community freely given by
those so disposed, is one thing; tax
forced on that community by law OF
local option or both, is another. The
original idea-that the revenues OF
government should be closely limited tc
the support of government-has beer
greatly extended in recent years; IN
deed. almost lost sight Of, If we are
to give it up altogether and raise taxes
and expend public money without re
card to ANYTHING except the merits OF
the particular claims as they come up
it is well enough to start the civil pen
sion idea. And if started, it certainly
ought to begin with the teachers.

Baseball Notes.

Wachtel will probably pitch against the
Independents this afternoon.
All the fans were glad to see Charlie
Iyers sitting with his team mates. at Tues,
davis game. His leg is getting along well
but it is doubtful whether he is able to
play again this season.
Washington papers say that Mike kahoe,
scout for the American league club OF tnat
CITY. looked over few of the youngsters
in the Twin State league last week The
Keene Sentinel thinks he is after Hank
Shea.
There are few local fans who are about
as hard to please as the Boston man VINO
wasn't satisfied with Halls famous stunt
in the Boston-Detroit game wednesday
With nobody out and three Detroit men on
bases in the ninth inning Hall was sent
in cold and struck out Cobb and Craw-
ford. retiring Delehanty on pop n.y. Inc
Boston man didn't like it because Hall
didn't fan all three.
President O'Neil of the Bellows Falls
association made himself unpopular with
some of his fans yesterday afternoon by
refusing to let Hank Shea go IN as pinch
hitter in the 10th innings. but the action
shows conclusively that the up-rlver CT
fetal is playing the game on the. square
Shea couldn't play without making the
club exceed the salary limit, and that is
why Mr.. O'Neil put his foot down. 1t was
a critical time, as Shea's hitting ability
might have won the game, but that makes
President 0'Neil's action all the more
creditable.

The only matter to excite any dis

item on a bill submitted. The bill was
from local firm and contained several
items among which was a vacuum bottle,
priced $3.50. The bottle was ordered
by one of the men hired to fight fire on
Black Mountain The selectmen could
not understand why the town of Brat
tleboro should furnish such an elaborate
fire fighting equipment and accordingly
the bill was laid on the table until the
statutes can be studied to ascertain why
it is necessary to use vacuum bottles
in fire fighting. over a wear ago, Chair
man Calvin suggested that a vacuum
cleaning apparatus could be operated
in connection with the ventilation sys-
tenn installed in the town hall at that
time, but his suggestion did not include
a vacuum bottle, wrist-clock, electric
