The Hoosick Falls base ball liar Is
abroad again, but his mendacity is
now so we'll known that he had to go
TO Troy to get his statements printed.
Witness the following from the Hoo
sick Falls correspondence Of the Troy
Press The fact that the baseball
season has ended in North Adams,
and is about in" at Bennington, is
no surprise to the Hoosick Falls fans.
The whole baseball crisis was evolved
by the Benningtonians. and the most
ardent NermOnters now admit that
baseball for North Adams, Pittsiield
and Bennington is not profitable.
Whatever satisfaction there may be
in killing the game cannot be appreci-
ated here, as the North Adams and
| Pittsiield managers were informed In
February that without Hoosick Falls
for Sunday cleanups the sport would
be apt to 90 under before II was we'll
started The fans here are sorry for
Billy Mackey OF North Adams, as he
made fine manager, and his treat
ment of the players was such that the
men will return any time that he
wants them. North Adams sports
have suggested that Hoosick Falls
form team for the balance OF tn,
summer 1t was found that few
promoters already had the matter un
der consideration and that the pros
poets are good for strong semi
professional team. No arrangement
have been made yet, but all that vii
be needed to do is to sign up player
OF whom there are plenty TIT
athletic grounds are in good shape
and can be had, as there has not beel
any income from baseball thus lar"

Place on the Public Square-Low
Prices Another Attraction.

Fourteen of the enterprising con-
Germs of Columbia have Joined togeth-
er in an effort to make next week, be-
gining Monday, April II, the greatest
shopping week in the history Of the
city and county. 1t will be known as
Aviation Week In addition to the
great aviation flights, the horse and
auto races, the presence of the Cover
nor and General Assembly as the
guests of the city, the merchants will
offer some genuine attractions that
will appeal to the pocketbooks of the
people of the county.
There will be given away each day
on the square prizes that in the ag-
gregate will represent 1925. The con-
Germs that have joined in the move
ment to attract trade will give tick
cts with each fifty cents purchase, the
tickets emitting the holders to draw
for the splendid prizes. The draw
ings will take place every afternoon

Saturday afternoon when the draw
ings will take place at s o'clock. This

date, the prices are lower than those
of the city and its merchants are al
ways accommodating and reliable.

the prize offerings should draw the
largest crowd of shoppers to the city

TAKING EDUCATION.

The Senate very properly put to
sleep the proposition that the pro.
perty of religious and educational
institutions in Tennessee should be
taxed in the future. This amend
ment eminated in the hostile brian
of few bitterly partisan Patterson
ties who realized that the more the
schools and churches Of the country
prospered the more hazardous 1t was
for the liquor traffic and the pardon
brokerage, two institutions that
thrived under the reign Of Ham. Hew-
ever, it is gratifying to know that
there were enough Patterson parti-
sans even in the present Senate who
we're broad enough and patriotic
enough to defeat measure that
would have been disgrace to the
statute books of the State. =.
Tennessee, the third in the list OF
States in point of illiteracy among
its white people, with the people OF
Its capital city 30 benighted that
they elect a man like Howse Mayor,
and with under paid and incompe-
tent public school teachers, can Ill
afford to put tax upon private ipsd-
lions of learning that are doing 50
much to improve conditions. And 1t
is hardly conceivable that any con-
adorable number Of people would de-
sire to change the long established
policy OF the State in relation to the
exemption of religious institutions
from taxation. Naturally selfish and
ambitious politicians take umblage
at the church and great educational
institutions when the latter join In
the movement to give the people of
Tennessee better government but 1t
is to the credit OF Tennessee that these
individuals have not SUFFICIENT power
and influence to infiict revenge upon
the churches and schools.

DEMOCRACY IN CONGRESS

Being In power in the House OF Re-
representatives. for the first time In six
teen years the Democrats find that
they also have an added responsibility
and so far they have shown most
gratifying and sane appreciation OF
that fact. They have moved like they
felt the weight of the obligation that
they were under to the American
people. Too radical and too precipl-
tate action will destroy in a large
measure the excellent prospects
which the Democrats now have FOR
the election of a President.
While it is manifest that the spirit
of radicalism, under the name OF pro-
gressivism has been gaining in power
and momentum for the past four or
Ave years it will not do to discount
altogether the abiding conservatism
which has always been one OF the dis
+, tinctive characteristics of an English
speaking people. The people are not
as wild and visionary as some OF the
recently chosen leaders of the Re-
publican and Democratic parties In
Congress would have us believe. The
people of this country are not yet
ready to abolish representative gov
eminent although they have determ-
ined that many of its evils shall be
abolished.
The Democrats have In the past
been the most consistent defenders
Of the constitution. They have chung
to that ancient document as the sheet
anchor of our liberties. 1t will 90 an
unwise policy for them now in their
hour of triumph to out clamor their
erstwhile allies, the progressive Re-
publicans, for inovations. There are
some folks who love change for
change sake. There are women, good
housekeepers too, who move the
furniture every day just to see how
1t looks in another position. And
there are fadists among would be
statesmen who are ready to try any
new tangled scheme Of government.
If the Democrats are conservative
in all that they do, practice that rigid
economy which they have preached
for century, reform the tariff gradu-
ally but all the time having in mind
the old Democratic doctrine Of tariff
for revenue only; support the Presi-
dent when he Is right, and oppose
him when his policy is contrary to
the true Democratic theory; In short
and in fine forget that they are parti-
sans and legislative with an eye
single to the welfare of all the peo-
pie of this country.
The best politics for the Demo
Gratis In Congress Is to forget parti-
san or factional advantage but to 30
upon the high and noble idea that
he serves his party best who serves
his country best

GOVERNS SHIPMENT OF NITRO.
Must Contain Not More Than go
Per Cent of Explosive.

When the Interstate Commerce Com
mission issued new regulations yester-
day governing the interstate shipment Of
explosives, il furnished the explanation
for the puzzing question asked the Nc
Namara brothers by Judge Bordwell, be-
fore imposing sentence, as to the per
centage of nitro glycerin in the explosive
used to blow up the Los Angeles Times
building.
The brothers assured the court that the
explosive contained not more than so per
cent of nitro. and the significance of the
question is held here to be found in the
new regulations which prohibit entirely
the shipment in interstate commerce of
dynamite containing more than so per
cent of nitro.
The new regulations prescribe the exact
wording that must appear on each ship
ment of explosive, the color of the labels.
set limit to the weight of packages in
which dangerous articles may be shipped
So plain is the wording of the regula-
tions that there can be no mistaking their
provisions. Heavy penalty is provided
for a violation of the rules of the COM
mission.
