Educational Reforms

Senator Page is a member of the
Senate COMMITTEE, on Agriculture
and also the Committee on Education.
As a result Of long, earnest research
he has recently presented bill, IN
th, Senate, providing for Federal
cooperation in adding vocational
education in the lower grades of
public schools. The SUBJECTS receiv-
ing wide consideration.
A few extracts from the New
York Independent which requested
an article on this bill, and which the
Vermont Senator wrote.
we must not do injustice to the
laboring man. Out of the abundance
of our great wealth and our great
prosperity we must at least see that
his children have the opportunity to
receive an education, too, which shall
fit and equip him to be self-respect-
ing and self-supporting, to the end
that he may take his place alongside
his more favored brother"
We must so combine the adj
vantages of the city and country
that more of our best people will live
on the farms; so that, with larger
and stronger families, they can help
our race to gain that world leader
ship which can only be attained by 8

FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1913

On the intricate questions involved
in determining the guilt of the trades
unionists accused in Indianapolis OF
conspiracy in dynamite outrages the
findings of the jury will be accepted
as satisfactory. The case was eX-
ceptionally difficult in the mass OF
evidence presented, the nature of the
offences charged and the character
of the proof brought forward. But
regardless of the verdicts on the forty
defendants, a condition was enclosed
which must stir. the apprehension OF
every .law-abiding trades unionist.
1t was shown that certain officers
of the ironworkers' organization
exercised an independence in control
over it's funds and activities never
contemplated by its founders or
authorized by it's constitution. They
used its money as they saw fit, with
out accounting for their expenditures
to the contributors to the the treas
ury. There were free agents, UNI
restricted, and unrestrained, and they
had at their mercy the very eXistance
of the association they were supposed
to serve. To what dangers this IRE
sponsibility exposed the union the
revelation made in the trial showed.
All that has been brought to light
since the pleas of guilty by the broth
ers Mcnamara, whose activitiesmade
inevitable the prosecutions just closed
has tended to confirm the opinion
that many unionists defer too much
to their leaders, and require from
these too slight accountings for their
trusteeship. The story is not new,
but the lesson to be learned from it
seems not to have been taken to heart.
If publicity is needed anywhere, it is
plain that it should be applied con.
tinuously to the affairs of labor
unions if they are to be kept out OF
the hands of lawless agitators whose
methods have the approval of only
the mentally unbalanced or the
morally defective.

There seems to be little similarity
between the power necessary to regu-
late the prices of commodities sold
or offered for sale by private corpo-
rations operating on State charters
and that sustained in the so-caIled
trust decisions. The principal upon
which these cases have been decided
is that the acts complained of
throttled competition, that free and
untrammeled competition was necess
airy to a healthy commerce, and that
anything which tended to embarrass
the former was a restraint to the
latter. In other words, restraint oil
competition was a restraint of trade
within the inhibition Of the Sherman
Act. This may be conceded arguen
do, but it does not follow that the fix
ing of prices Of commodities would
destroy that restraint of competition
which in itself is believed a restrain
of trade. On the other hand, it
would appear that such action woul,
entail the very opposite effect. TIL

indirectly to prevent restraint 0

Bradstreet's Report

Reports to Bradstreet' for the
week show the holiday trade as a
whole was a little above what was
recorded last year. In some places
the increase was small while in others
as high as one third more is reported.
In the larger places early buying was
encouraged and the result was appa-
rent, but in smaller towns the bulk
of the trade was crowded into the
three days before Christmas; the
early shopping idea however, pre-
dominated and is working well.
New Years Day trade is generally
good and the volume of sales so far
accumulated is expected to be further
increased. That trade was as large
as it was reflected the prevailing
condition of the public as regards
chilly to buy. All this was accomp-
lished in spite of the lack of snow for
the benefit of the country purchaser.
Further comment is made regarding
holiday trade to the affect that in the
state, purchases were confined to
smaller articles. Real winter

What Was Happening 80
Years Ago

Island Pond has been unusually
prosperous during the past year.
There have been no failures, and no
serious disasters. The general health
Of the village has been good, and in
all material aspects 1882 left Island
Pond better than it found it. Long
may its prosperity continue.
An accident occurred at East Brigh-
ton last Monday, by which two valua-
BILE horses owned by S. D. Hobson
were killed. 1t appears the horses
were hauling logs down a steep hill,
at the foot of which is a bridge,
where it is necessary for teams to
make a sharp curve in order to keep
the road. On this occasion the team
ster, a Mr.. Searles of Barnston P. O.,
was unable to turn at the proper time
and the horses went over the bridge,
and when assistance was obtained
they were dead, and the teamster
nearly so-from fright.

talented Rector of Grace Church,
