Grip of Baseball

If proof were needed of the grip
which baseball has upon business
men as a means of amusement and
recreation, it could be found in the
short speech delivered to the home
nine by Ellery L. Wilson, super
intendent of the chief industry of
Rumford, post village three miles
north by east of Providence, after
they had defeated an aggregation
of talent called the High Elves.
You are great bunch of play
ers," said he, "but you lack team
work. Now all of you get vaca-
ton of week without financial loss.
Get out mornings and afternoons
and practice faithfully !"
No greater love hath any man
for game than the employer who
releases his "help" that they may
participate therein and promise not
to "dock" them when the ghost
walks.
By the way, the Office boys of
Boston are now using the revised
version of the old funeral bluff to
very good advantage.

Another charge made by the Argus is

Another charge made by the Argus is
"That the present year said Fletcher
has made out an inventory and has a
grand list far greater than under the So
called arrangement"
Let us see about this: Mr.. Fletcher,
as citizen of Cavendish, has always
been willing to pay taxes o. all his tax
able property, and the assessments made
by the listers have been made to cover
all such taxable property. His willing
ness so to pay is proven by the fact that
when he made his return it was for
practically the same amounts as the as
sessments previously made. The in
crease in the inventory of 1912 is &C
counted for bv the sale of real estate
located outside of the state, in the fall
of 1911, on which Mr.. Fletcher holds a
purchase money mortgage, this mortgage
first becoming taxable III Cavendish the
present year.
So far as relates to alleged ARRANGE
ment" or any difficulty whatever between
Mr. Fletcher and The listers, on which
the Argus has harped so persistenty, 1t
need only be said further that the Fri
bune has on baud statement signed by
all the listers resident in Cavendish, save
one, declaring that "the course of Ai'ec
M. Fletcher as to his list for taxation in
Cavendish has been entirely just, equit-
able and satisfactory to the several boards
of lister The one signature missing
from this state ment is that of Christaphe
w. Goodrich, and its absence can be
satisfactorily accounted for in detail if
The Argus will take the trouble to look
the matter up. The truth is, there
never has been, at any time, any trouble
or controversy between Mr.. Fletcher and
the board of listers or any member of
the board.
The animus of the proposition to Mr.
Fletcher's candidacy in one or two Sec

Unwarranted Charges

For several weeks the Montpelier Ar
gus has been carrying on campaign of
mud.singlng against Windsor county's
candidate for the governorship, Allen
M. Fletcher of Cavendsh. On this low
level of political warfare it has been as
sisted by coterie of local talent.
The Argus, apparently in the interest
of its own idealistic candidate, has de-
voted time and energy to Mr.. Fletcher's
relation to the grand list of his own town,
and, by repeated inuendo, has sought to
weaken his candidacy. The contempt
rary, feeding upon its own mud, has
grown holder and holder In it's attacks
and in recent issue made the followin g
direct charge:
"That about the year 1905 certain of
the Cavendish listers demanded that Mr.
Fletcher make out an inventory of his
personal estate for the purpose of taxa
ton in said town; that Mr.. Fletcher de-
libelatbly refused so to do on the ground
that he had an arrangement with the
town; that for ten years at least this
condition existed"
Some tactics adopted in political cam
laigns are so easily seen through that
they deceive nobody and fall fiat far
as effect is concerned; or so thoroughly
contemplate as to be beneath the notice
Of any self-respecting candidate and
most of the tactics INDUCED in by the
Argus belong in one or the other O.
these classes. The charge it makes, a
above quoted, belongs, however, II
another and more serious class. Thi,

branding of this charge on informatio

In the very nature Of things there coult

w by Savings Banks are
Essential.

Because people having money to in
vest are often tempted by designing
perso MS to go to schemes which, while
prom ising large returns, usually bring
disas ter.
Probably there are no more shrewd,
far-sighted, conservative investors of
money than successful life insurance
companies.
They employ expert men men who
make the study of investments their life
work; who pass upon all applications
or loans and investments; and it is a
fact which any one can verify by getting
the insurance companies reports, that
four or five per cent interest is all these
companies are able to make their loans
average.
Those schemers who woutd go to un-
sophisticated women or inexperienced
men aud tell them that they could just
as we'll get six per cent, as four, we'll
know that II their schemes were solid,
substantial and safe, they could borrow
money by the million from these lite in
surance companies.
| The Lamoile County Savings Bank
and Trust Company Of Hyde Park never
takes note paying over six per cent.
If any person brings paper to that
bank which will pay more than six pei
cent, it turns it down, because it wants
no better evidence that it is dangerou,
than the fact that it offers to pay more
than six per cent
What is the result?
In its more than twenty three years Of
existence, this bank has never lost dol
lar by apoor note.

EXPLOITATION OF LAROR

IT is not difficult to find the cause of the unrest
i among industrial workers in the large cities.
Instances Of oppressive conditions imposed upon
workers come TO light almost every day. The
laundry workers of New York girls and women,
are on a strike. An investigation is being made by
the State Bureau of Labor The testimony re-
veals conditions that are deplorabe. and no won
der these girls and women are in revolt.
tired looking woman of middle age, one of
the witnesses. told how hundreds Of girls and
women had worked thirteen or more hours a day
for SIS week and continued so TO work until the
strike. Long hours and small pay, with the cost
Of living actually increasing and that means prac-
tically reduction of wages.
So, too, are the stories of oppressive conditions
at Lawrence Mass. where men and women are ex-
plotted TO the limit in order that the dividends
of the mill owners may mount TO high figures. All
the members of the families are required to work
in order to make a living.
This fate Of the Lawrence workers bears out
the contention Of European writer's who discussed
conditions in Belgium predicting that although
normally a man should earn enough to support
his family with the advent of women as laborers
II would soon follow that the labor of both man
and wife would be necessary to keep the wolf from
the door.
The condition of the mill workers employed by
the steel trust has also been in the public mind
recently. 1t has been charged that the mill men
are overworked. Judge Gary, chairman of the
trust in reply to vigorous criticisms said that the
seven-day-week schedule had been largely aban-
doned and to a great extent the twelve-houra-day
schedule had been done away with but many of
the employees want to work twelve hours day
because of the greater compensation. Perhaps the
greater compensation is, necessary in order to
keep body and soul, for it is unnatural to
assume that men would labor such long hours un-
less compelled to do so.
The plain truth is that the enormous profits
reaped by many big concerns are obtained by sap
ping the life blood of their employees Under such
conditions as these we have mentioned is it pos
sible that persons subjected to them can continue
TO be patriotic? Is it any wonder that they are
in greater numbers marching under the red flag
of socialism or looking in that direction?

JUSTICE FOR WORKINGMEN.

New York World
Following the signal victory for
workingmen in the Supreme Courts
Endorsement of the Federal Employ
ers-Liability act, it is announced that
a new State Liability Insurance bill
has been prepared for introduction at
Albany following the lines of the
Ohio act II assesses 10 per cent. of
the cost of insurance upon the work
man, 80 per cent upon the employer
and makes acceptance of insurance
voluntary. while loading its rejection
with the full rigor of present disad-
Yantages under the law. The State is
to administer the funds.
Whether It is better policy to frame
new law to avoid the Court of APP
peals objections to the dead statute or
TO seek a constitutional amendment
is question merely Of manner. Jus
tice to workingmen in the hazardous
occupations should in some way he
provided. AS Insurance Superinten-
dent Hotchkiss said tolhe Associa-
tion of Life Insurance Presidents in
this city last month:
The justice of the demand that
means be provided whereby industry
that is, the ultimate consumer
shall pay for the wear and tear on
its workers will nowhere be denied.
The waste in this field through un-
certainty as to the liability of the em-
ployer, the often helpless condition
of the employee, the litigation that
results and the kaleidoscope condi-
tion of present laws make readjust-
ment essential.
The "assumption-0f doctrine
is monstrous when a single industry
builds its own town and the resident
must assume the risk or starve. The
"fellow-servant" defense is no longer
lust when the worlIingman cannot
know his 10000 fellow-servants even
by sight. The "contributory-negli-
gence" defense is cruel when many
workingmen cannot even understand
the language of the "boss." The State
is bound in some manner TO see that
work-accidents are compensated
promptly and automatically without
the delay and money waste of litiga-
tion.

THAT RIVER FRONT.

IT is gratifying TO note that the river front pro-
- ject is moving forward. For years this matter
has been discussed without anything definite being
done. Wilmington should have river front. No
one disputes that fact. The advantages that would
accrue are obvious. If Wilmington is to advance
as It should advance river front is imperative.
The meeting the other day of the committee of
the Board of Trade with City Council and the
owners of property along the coast marks new
epoch in the consideration of this important mat
ter The owners of property affected we're we'll
represented, and if their cooperation is assured,
as is promised, definite results should be obtained.
The bulkhead should be completed by the gov
ernment, and there should be public wharf and
river front.
Nothing has been done about the bulkhead pro-
position by the government for FIVE years, but il
is now believed that the city and Uncle Sam will
act together. The government in these matters
will help those who help themselves.
This should be year of action in Wilmington.
Let us have words and discussion and all that,
but let us have action. There comes time in all
matters relating to the progress of the city when
words avail nothing unless there is action. This
apHles not only to the river front but TO several
other subjects relating to the city.
