MORE WORKERS DRIVEN INTO
jOlENESS,

When a low tariff law causes $4,000
men and women In one industry In
New England alone to be forced into
idleness the ranks of the unemployed
have not only been increased to that
extent. but it has even driven more
workers into idleness because the pur-
chasing power of the $4,000 men and
women has been removed.
II the tariff on silk goods had been
reduced to the same extent as the
wooden rates that industry would be
in no better shape, and 10000 to 30
900 silk workers who are now at work
would be idle.
Events are fast proving the enor-
nous advantage of giving employment
to our own wage earners. instead OF to
foreign workers.-Los Angeles Times.

The democratic platform prevented
President Woodrow Wilson from es-
pousing the cause of woman suffrage.
He told the ladies he could not act
except according to the dictates Of the
party platform. Now it seems that
Woodrow has forgotten that plank of
the platform which pledged him to be
one term candidate. A memory like
that is wonderful thing-for him.

A DESTRUCTIVE RUNAWAY.
Three Teams Involved and One Horse
Ruined-LOad of Milk Spilled.

Two small boys driving a horse
belonging to Ulysses G. Goss last
Saturday forenoon went around the
corner of Church and Summer streets
too fast and the sleigh tipped over
throwing them out. The horse
started running down Summer street
and struck a milk team. belonging to
Leonard Penniman and that horse
started a runaway of his own. The
driver of an ice team belonging to
A. r. Lawrence saw the runaway start
and stopping his team at the corner
of Central and Summer streets got
off the sled to attempt to stop the
Goss horse. The two runaways were
too many for him and as the Goss
horse turned on Central street the
sleigh struck the Lawrence team
starting them running down Central
street. Frank Lawrence saw his
fathers horses coming and drove
his milk cart across the street fore
ing the runaways against telephone
pole and stopped them with sled and
harnesses quite badly broken.
The Penniman team ran down
Central and turning on Spring street
overturned the sleigh and spilled the
milk. 1t stopped after running a
short distance on Spring street.
The Goss team turned on Central
street and run down the bank op-
posite the garage where it was badly
tangled up. 1t was found it had
broken a small bone in it's hip and
will have to be killed.

TOWN CAUCUS NOTES.
Talk of Changes In SeIectman, School
Directors and Road Conn
missioner.

Much talk is being heard about
the nomination of town officers at
the caucus to be held Saturday after
noon. Last Saturday G. w. CaId-
beck secured the town hall for a
smoke talk by the citizens over town
matters. The school department
came in for the major share of the
discussion. No formal action was
taken by the meeting.
These names are being discussed
for Office: A. +. Lawrence for
selectman, Judge David X. Porter
for school director and A. l.. Douglass
for road commissioner. AS stated
last week the present incumbents are
willing to serve another term and
there is prospect of lively meeting
Saturday afternoon.
The figures showing the total in
debtedness of the town for the past
five years during which time Charles
Weeks has been a member of the
board of selectmen, are given to show
what his record has been. At the close
Of business in 1909 the total indebted
ness of tho town was $40, 0,61S.12;
1910 it was $54, ,648.S3; for 1911,
$43,50O; for 1912, $4,000; for 1913,
$4,000. AS explained last week
$4,000 of. this is for rebuilding the
Summer Street School buildings,
about $4,000 extra highway expenses
on account of the July shower and
over $4,000 for the direct State
tax. Without these extra expenses
which the selectmen could not
avoid the Indebtedness for 1913
would be $43,90O. There was at the
close of business for 1913, $8,716.56
more cash on hand than at the close
of the previous year. This is a legiti-
mate credit that should be deducted
from the town indebtedness. De-
Quoting this from $4,000 leaves
as the normal indebted
ness of the town at the close of 1913.
Mr.. Weeks friends of which he
has many are inquiring If reduc-
ton from S7O,613.12 in 1903 to $35,-
1894 in five years is not as good
showing as the voters can reasonably
ask.

INSURANCE FIGHT
Commercial Club viii Push Effort
To Get Reduced Rates-Plan
Banquet In April.

The New England Insurance Ex-
change is giving some heed to the
request from the Commercial Club
for a reduction in insurance rates in
St. Johnsbury and promises to send
representatives here to look into the
matter. They have not set the date
as yet and do not know whether on
ly the chairman for this district or
the whole committee will come. In
order to be ready for them Pres.
Joseph Fairbanks called a special
meeting of the executive committee
of the Commercial Club for last
Thursday evening and after discus
sion it was decided to appoint COM
mittee to meet with the insurance
men when they visit the village and
to do any necessary work in eonnec-
tion with the matter.
The committee named are: Jo-
seph Fairbanks, A. H. Mcleod, F. G.
Mayo, L. N. Smythe and W. j. Bige-
low.
Teachers Convention
The matter of preparing for the
state teachers convention was TAX
en- up and the number of committees
necessary to provide proper entertain
ment for the teachers was discussed.
1t was decided that unusual care
should be taken in the selection of
these committees and a special COM
mittee on nominations was named.
They are: w. A. Kicker, Joseph Fair
banks, Charles w. Steele, P. F. Haz-
en-, and DR.. w. J. Aldrich.
Annual Meeting and Banquet
1t was decided not to have a gen.
eral meeting of the club until the an
nual meeting in April when the edu-
cational committee will be asked to
prepare a program and have the
Carnegie Foundation report on edu-
cationaI conditions in Vermont dis
cussed.
DR.. AIdrich was present and re-
ported that the special state COM
mission appointed to locate a home
for feeble minded children had re-
ported it's findings as to what the
state needed to the governor and he
had instructed them to have a site
for the building chosen by early
spring. 1t is probable an institution
and farm such as Iue state needs for
this will require an expenditure of
1000 or more and the commits
sion of which DR.. Aldrich is chair
man would like to receive invita-
tions from towns desiring the loca-
ton of such an institution in their
town to consider sites they can offer.
1t is hoped St. Johnsbury will be able
to present a suitable site for the con-
sideration of the Commission.

NINTH GRADES ENTERTAIN
Gave Editha's Burglar at Summer
Street School.

Gave Editha'S Burglar at Summer
Street School.
The ninth grade or the Summer
Street school are to be congratulated
on giving such a fine entertainment
as they gave at the new school house
Friday evening. The first thing on
the program was the presentation of
%Editha's Burglar The parts were
very creditably taken by Miss Made
line Cary, as Editha; Miss Helen
Stearns, as her mother; Henry Bis
hop, her father; Merle Ashton, the
burglar, and Annie Lambert the
maid. This play was in four acts.
and was given in a most pleasing
manner. This was under the super
vision Of Miss Madeline Randall.
After the first act, music was furnish
ed by Miss Marjorie CramtOn, on
her violin. A cornet solo was render
ed by George Mcleod after the
second act. During the next change
of scene, Miss Catherine Boynton
and Miss Marjorie Cramton played
a duet.
After the close of the entertain
ment, Sargent's orchestra furnished
music, and dancing was enjoyed. The
sum of $45.72 was cleared by this
entertainment. This is to be used
to help to defray the expenses of the
trip to Boston in the spring.

MIDSUMMER MEET
Caledonia Forest And Stream Club
To Hold One-Business At
Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Gale
donia Forest and Stream Club was
held at the st. Johnsbury House last
Wednesday afternoon with a fair at
tendance of members. officers were
elected and President Titcomb re-
ported somewhat on conditions in
the county and state. 1t was also
voted, on motion of Geo. H. Cross,
that a midsummer meeting be held,
the time, place and arrangements to
be left to the officers of the club.
The officers elected were:-Presi-
dent, w. j. Bigelow; vice president,
]. H. Brooks; secrytary, Welcome b.
Eastman; treasurer, Gilbert e.
Woods; auditors, Chas. G. Braley
and F. S. Hartman.
The nominating committee were e.
w. Connell, H. M. Osgood and w. A.
Kicker.
While the nominating committee
was at work President Titcomb said
the state fish hatchery would be able
to distribute more trout this year
than ever, especially more finger
lings. 1t also would have more land
locked salmon to distribute than ever
before in the history, he having ar
ranged for 100000 eggs. Sportsmen
who wished fish for Caledonia waters
should put in an early application
because the demand for fish promises
to be larger than in previous years.
He said he believed the fish and
game laws were rigid enough. He
would favor permits for fishing
through the ice in ponds where there
are trout if only fish destructive to
trout are taken. He then spoke of
the desirability of having a joint
hunting and fishing license at a
price of $1.OO. With the present
hunting license at rs cents the
state received about $4,000 last
year. The proposed license tax
of 81, would give money enough
so breeding stations could be main
tanned in each county and streams
could be so well stocked that the six
inch law could be repealed and the
catch limited to 20 or % trout of
any size.
He believed the deer season was
regulated about right at present but
the shooting of does would soon
extinguish them. He did not believe
the state needed a closed term at
present.
