SPORTING NOTES.

In the Dartmouth Tufts ball game at
Boston Saturday two players well
known in Barre held down positions in
the respective teams. Earl Williams
the former Spaulding athlete, played
center field with the Dartmouth team
and Gap" Lee, the former Goddard star,
recovered third base for Tufts. Tufts
won the game @ to 4.
Walter Elcock, who acted as assistant
coach of football at Dartmouth college
last fall, has accepted the position of
football instructor at Washington-Lee
university next fall. 1t is reported at
Hanover that Paul Loudon will accept
the position left vacant by Elcock. Lou
don is captain of the baseball team. For
three years he played on the varsity
eleven and is rated as one of the best
players ever connected with the college.
Berry of Redlands, Cal, high school

day afternoon, while on other diamonds
the newer and lesser leagues staged their
games to the accompaniment of released
uproar that has been pent up for long
winter months At all the games there
were large audiences of intensely inter
ested people, men and women in all
walks of life brought together with a
common feeling and mingling as they
mingle in no other phase of life. Base
ball is the great mixer of people-iudges

gamin, the most recent conner from for
eign shores stands shoulder to shoulder
with the native born, even the wicked
forsake their way for the time being
and honestly exult with the good citizen
in the plays of the game. A tremendous
agency for good, as we'll as a powerful
form of entertainment, is the modern
game of baseball.
To be sure, there are countless people
in the United States, to whom baseball
bat is nothing more than stick and
mask and chest protector are unfath-
omed contraptions, but there are count
less others-probably majority-who
have more or less intimate knowledge
of baseball and who follow the progress
of the game more or less closely through
the entire season. They know when the
Giants are ahead or the Red Sox have
bad break. They even glance at the box
score now and then to see how that
baseball nobleman, surnamed Wagner, is
hitting 'cm out or to see if Matty's arm
is standing the test of time. There is a
curious quickening of life when the base
ball season opens. Long may it flourish,
and well.

Lack of Work and Farmhands.

Farmland wages went up again last
year, according to estimates of the de-
partment of agriculture, published Mon
day. What could be more remote from
the thoughts of the city dwellerG Yet
how many city dwellers realize the close
relation between the faraway, semi
mythical hired man and the cost OF
their own dinners?
Of the farmers expenses part is for
purchases to cover the personal needs of
himself and his family; part is to pay
taxes, mortgages and the upkeep OF his
real estate; part is to procure or main
tain beasts, machinery and the fertiliz-
ing ingredients of the land; part final
ly is to remunerate labor. If any one of
these heads of expenditure is increased
it cuts down the total margin of his
profits. Now the cost of farm labor has
increased 21a per cent. in year, III per
cent. in four years. 1t has increased
rather faster than the cost of living and
much faster than the farmers gross rev.
enue.
No wonder, therefore, that Governor
Glynn and all friends of the husband
man are cudgelling their brains to find
means to put some of our unemployed
off the streets and upon the soil, where
employment awaits them. To talk of
lack of work under such circumstances
as the present is to misunderstood the
situation.-New York Evening Sun.

As usual, most of the fatalities in
Boston's latest fire horror were among
people cooped on the upper stories of
the apartment building. The building
was only five stories high, to be sure,
but FIVE stories make quite height from
the ground when one is routed out in
the dead of night and no fire-escapes
near ones apartment and with the build
ing honeycombed with airshafts, dumb
walters, etc. In nearly every catas-
trophe of this sort, the deaths occur on
the upper floors of the buildings. This
ought to act automatically toward keep
ing down the height of buildings, espe-
cially the buildings intended to be used
for lodging purposes, for apartments
high in the atmosphere are not going to
be in great demand.

CURRENT COMMENT
Walking on the Railroad Tracks.

Track walking is, we understand, for
hidden by law, but hundreds of people
continue to trespass on the property of
the railroads, without giving thought
to the fact that they are placing them
selves in dangerous positions. That
there is real danger in the use of the
railroad tracks by pedestrians is
brought to mind with startling effect on
reading that within radius of few
miles of Montpelier three men paid a
terrible penalty Saturday night, two
being killed and the third so terribly in
jured that he will go through life as a
suffering cripple with his earning ca
pacity greatly reduced. If football in
one season exacted such a toll in the
state, a howl against the dangers of the
game would go up from 246 towns and
cities-B rattleboro Reformer.

vermonters in the West.

A most interesting letter has been re-
ceived from Professor Frederick j. Tur-
ner of the department of history at
Harvard University, in which he ex-
plains the scope and plan of the Harvard
commission on western history. 1t is
proposed to collect from old newspaper
files, letters, pamphlets and other MEM
oranda material descriptive of those Yer
monters who migrated to the middle
west in the period of from ls20-ls60.
What is particularly desired are the re-
corded impressions of the transplsnted
fasteners concerning their new environ
ment, pioneer conditions and the prog
fess of early development.
IL should be an inspiring task to ran
sack old attics, trunks and half forgot
ten receptacles in old Vermont home
stesds for the material that becomes
more valuable historically with each
succeeding decade. When the French
and Indian wars gave place to the hegira

chung to the delusion that court of
justice would try the president of a
railroad for manslaughter because q
wreck occurred on train which was
operated by other servants of the rail-
road. But at length even the prosecu-
tion against Mellen flattened out like a
balloon which has lost its air and on
request of a new prosecutor the case
was mol pressed. 1t is as it should be.
Presidents of railroads should be held
accountable for some misdoings undoubt-
eddy, but not to the extrayagant extent
contemplated by charge OF manslaugh-
ter, as in a case of this sort. A degree
of reason ought to be exercised in bring
ing such serious allegation.

THE MELLEN MANSLAUGHTER
CASE,

The action of the court in mol pressing
the case of manslaughter against Charles
S. Mellen, until recently head of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford rail-
road, was along the line of sanity-san-
ity returned or developed, whichever way
it may appear to the individual. The
charge was brought because of the fact
that a wreck occurred at Westport back
in October, 1912, when Mellen was presi-
dent of the corporation. Many lives
were lost, and as the wreck followed
numerous similar wrecks the public was
wrought up to an unusual extent and
the maledictions of many were poured
miles away from the scene of the wreck
but who CHANGED to be the titular head
of the railroad system. BY no stretch
of the Imagination could Mellen have
been called responsible except by indiree.
tion. He was the imam higher up''-and
there has for years been a clamor to
reach the imam higher up"-and he was
arrested, actually arrested, on a bench
warrant, as being responsible for the
deaths of the persons who lost their
lives in the Westport wreck. He was
accused of taking human lives. Other
officials were arrested on similar charges.
The cases ran along and ran along. until
the other officials were released, the
charges against them being withdrawn.
Yet there still remained the imam high
er up"-Mellen--and the prosecution

Government Regulation in Vermont.

| The question of the validity of the
law establishing a public service COM
mission in Vermont and clothing that
body with broad powers has been
brought to the front on divers and sun
dry occasions in the recent past. Some
! time ago questions arose in effect
whether the commission was legis-
lative body, an executive organization,
or judicial tribunal, or all three, or
some two OF the three in one, and thus
far the twilight zone of uncertainty"
as to the exact status of that body has
not been materially abridged Some
what later another issue was brought to
the front in. the Vergennes case which
tended to show that the federal jurisdic-
ton might seriously overlap that of the
state of Vermont with reference to any
improvement ordered, and thus add to
the number of question marks standing
after legislation for the state regula-
tion of our public service corporations.
Under these circumstances it has been
fundamentally necessary that the at
mosphere should be cleared in order that
we as people might know whether we
have any branch of our representative
rule which can carry out the principle of
government regulation of public service
corporations within our borders, or
whether we must begin all over again.
When our supreme courts divide as
rule on most questions of this character
it might be deemed futile to try to Sc
cure the ultimate determination of any
issue involving our public service, and
yet in this direction as in most Others
we have to proceed on the supposition
and the theory that the majority rule
and govern ourselves accordingly.
We are not always convinced even
though the supreme court of the United
States, which is our court of last resort,
decides any question, and it has long
been desirable that the supreme court of
Vermont should decide, even though it
might divide, as to whether we have
body that can regulate public service
corporations.
1t is fortunate. therefore, that the
New England Telephone company has
decided to appeal from the order of the
public service commission ordering a re-
duction of SD a year in certain rates, for
while the sum at issue is not large, the
fundamental principle involved is far
reaching. So far as the merits of this
particular case are concerned the mat
ter may now be considered as with the
court" as will be the larger question of
jurisdiction and authority under the con-
stitution.
Whether in this direction as in so |
many Others the people must expect I'LL
to appeal to federal authority |
rather than to any state tribunal is a
question which completely overshadows
any temporal issue as to the particular
price charged for any special class of tel
ephone service, and one which ought to |
be cleared up to no small degree as
result of the present proceedings.-Bos-
ton Herald.

north and settled in the Green noun
tains of Vermont, there was the kernel
of middle and northwestern civilization
which terminated later under the great
ordinance.
Vermont, the mother state, has al
WAYS pridefully marked the progress of
her sons and daughters in their western
homes and communities; it should now
be labor of love to assist in perpetual
ing the records of their magnificent
courage, hardy endurance, lofty ideals,
and constructive genius. They were
commonwealth builders; theirs it was to
carve out a greater New England and
Vermont, first in central and western
New York and Ohio; then in another
generation, in Michigan, Wisconsin, In
diana, Illinois and Iowa.
At time when the matter of educa-
tional standards is receiving so much at
tention of one sort or another in Yer
mont, ii must be not wholly Improbable
to reflect that if the New Englanders,
who provided these new commemorative
with political leaders, editors, teachers,
clergymen, missionaries and men in
other professions and avocations having
brain and Drawn, Vermont furnished her
quota.
The Herald appeals to the living de-
scendants of old Vermont families TO
collect and preserve for the praisewor-
thv object all manuscript, pamphlet ma
terial and "reminiscences written for chill
dren which throw light upon the in
fluenee of Vermonters and their descend
ants in the development of the western
reserve and the middle west during the
period OF from 1920 to 1850.
What the Harvard commission aims
at collecting, generally, are newspaper
files, maps, aliases, letters, diaries, pO-
litical party literature, old account
books, bills OF lading for steamboat
traffic and the like All such material
should be collected and preserved syste-
matieally for the Harvard arehivists
who have the matter in charge and who
are about to visit Vermont on this mis-
sion.-Rutland Herald.
