could have been accomplished by
past legislative bodies was wrecked
in the beginning because some lead
er of the Senate or House advocated
certain measures and the other fell
lows-not advertised in advance as
leaders-would rise up and with
their united strength annihilate them
ii mattering little as TO the merits
they possessed
We realize that the session is
young, but those who are most ia
miliar with legislative bodies in Yer
mont are united in saying there is no
indication of any one, two or three
men in either the Senate or House
who propose 10 swing things. The
men in the House who have had leg.
islative experience are no filibusters,
but posses modest make-ups and are
likable men-just the kind of men
that will be thought well of by the
new members The Senate is an ex-
ceptionally strong body of thinking
men. They are men of affairs, and
as we size up this upper branch of
the Legislature, there is no one man
who will want TO do all the talking
and introduce all the bills. The Sen
ate has some young blood that is
ambitious They have had recent
legislative experience and their rec
ords are exceptionally clean. We pre-
dict that the Senate of 1912 will do
things. but will make no spluree
about it, and its work will be ac-
complished in very harmonious
manner. With the make up OF both
branches. the voters of the State will
see very few deadlocks this session.
Excellent judgement was displayed
by Lieut.. Gov. Howe and Speaker
Plumley in the makeup of the com
mittees. The members, regardless of
their political affiliations, were placed
where they were best fitted. The hon
ors were equally distributed.
Considering the intimate acquaint-
ance which Gov Fletcher, Lieut.. Gov.
Howe and Speaker Plumley have with
the members of both branches, every
one has reason to expect that all will
work together as united family and
that party pledges will be carried out
and early in the session.-Water-

PATIENT WITH RULE BREAKERS
Mack and Chance Both Waited Too
Long to Suspend Players

Thediscipline of ball players who do
not behave themselves started late
this year, and some clubs might have
done better if the suspensions and
fines had come sooner. Connie Mack
waited until the American league pen
nant was absolutely lost before he set
down "Chie f" Bender and "Rube"
Oldring, both of whom had been set
ting a fast pace since early in the sea
son. As early as June 1t was COM
mon talk in American league circles
that the chief was not taking care OF
himself, and the knowledge led
number of insiders to predict that the
Athletics would not capture the flag
for the third consecutive time. But
Connie tried diplomacy with the In
dian, rather than resorting to harsher
measures, and failed. Oldring's ac-
lions, of course, were not so costly
to the club as the failure of the chief
to keep in condition, but hurt just the
same.
Frank Chance waited until the eds
had beaten his club two out OF three
games and absolutely put the Cubs
out of the race in the National league
before he sent Frank Shuttle back
home. The question naturally arises
whether any of these clubs would
have done better if the strict discip-
line had been enforced earlier, with
out waiting until the races in the two
leagues were settled. If Connie Mack
had suspended Bender in June. when
he was going badly and not giving
his best services to the team which
was trying for a third straight flag,
perhaps the punishment would have
had the desired effect and the chief
might have come to his senses in
by making the American league race
much closer and giving his club fair
chance to win out.
This is a tough problem for a man.
ager to handle. When a star player
breaks loose, he does not know wheth-
er il will be best to enforce discipline
without fear or favor or TO try TO ac-
complish the same result by gentler
means A manager with a pitcher
like Bender, one of the best in the
business when he is right, hesitates
about fining and suspending him, for
fear that he will break his spirit and
injure his effectiveness. There is al
ways the hope that the player will
see the folly of his ways and brace
up of his own accord. without being
Inundated by punishment of severe
nature

The residents of Bennington are re-
minded that any demand for an i'm
proved method of administration,
whether it be in the management OF
village or town affairs or any other
matter directly concerning the public,
can be brought about only by per-
sonal endeavor on the part of the peo-
pie themselves. The citizens of Ben
nington, through its board OF trade,
have presented petition to the pub
lie service commission asking for GER
tain changes in the management OF
the local railroad yeard and the local
station. In order to give this petition
all the weight it can possibly carry
it should be backed by the personal
appearance of the citizens at the
meeting to be held at the Progressive
headquarters tomorrow afternoon at
2 o'clock.

MOULDERS OF iron
works CO ON STRIKE
WANT NINE HOURS WORK WITH
PAY FOR FUDL TEN
HOURS.

Because the officials of the COM
pay refused to comply with their de-
mands for an increased wage scale,
the moulders employed by the Okla
homa Iron Works of this city, went on
q strike Monday morning. The COM
pany's officials last night were pre-
pairing to take some precaution
against violence and started arrange
ments for special police protection. II
Is believed that workmen in other
departments of the companys two
plants will not walk out in sympathy
with the striking moulders.
The twelve moulders employed by
the company have been working ten
hours a day for which Manager Jim
Sloan of the Oklahoma Iron Works
stated last night the men received
81 1-2 cents an hour. During the
winter months the men desire to work
but nine hours a day and receive ten
hours pay for the days work. This
the company would not agree to.
Tho Oklahoma Iron Works is said
to be the largest industrial plant Of
its kind in the state, employing about
125 men In the two plants. The
striking moulders are employed at
the new plant just outside the city
limits. northeast of the city.
Men have been secured to take the
place of the striking moulders to-
morrow and the company expects TO
keep their entire plant in operation
continuously.
