Your committee to whom was re-

change in the American Flag, have hal
the matter under advisement; and
respectfully report as follows;
Whereas, Certain persons are propos-
ing that the desigp of our National
Flag-The Stars and Stripes--The Flag
we have followed on land and sea--to
Victory--be changed in such way that
the new design shall embody. features
of the flag of the shareholders rebel

Whereas, There is no occasion for
any change in design-and least Of
all, for change that would in any
manner, or in any way, excuse the
wickedness of the ebellion-and-eve

can be so moved as to make any such
change; yet-remembering that Eter.

A Visit from Jacob Riis.

One of the few things | remember in
that year is visit from Jacob Ris.
had been planning for two years that
our state should have the privilege OF
hearing him; now Others had taken up
the plan and he was to be with us early
in the winter His tour began in the
northern part OF the state, and where.
ever he went people met him with en-
thusiasm.
He was to visit our city last Our
friends attended to the details of pre-
pairing for his lecture, and he was here
in our home for brief, bright space
that our family can never forget
Here" we say, "is where he sat, on
this side of the fire, when heset the chill
dren on his knee, and told them stories
of his boyhood in Denmark, and legends
of their heroes" We knew there were
none of them drawer than he. and that
the little decoration of knighthood he
wore, given by the hand of the Danish
king symbolized also what was heartily
accorded him by the loyal love of the
American people.
But we knew more-we were "reeeiv-
ing a prophet" and his presence was
benedietion.-Albion Fellows Bacon in

II is an imposing list of speakers that
has been secured for the veterans re-

the least on the list by any means are

srnor Fletcher who has been credited
with an ambition to go to the United

Is to give the veterans Of the Civil war

The way to stop the introduction of
hunger strikes in jails and prisons of the
United States is to begin at once the
forcible feeding of the inmates who try
to copy after the English suffragette
method of getting out of imprisonment.
A few lessons in forcible feeding will
prove very eficacious in driving the idea
out Of the heads of both female and male
prisoners. Let us have no repetition of
the halting policy adopted in Great Brit
ain, or rather the lack Of policy alto
gether. If prison authorities do not take
a decided stand at the outset of the
threatened invasion of the hunger strike
idea they will soon find themselves over
whelmed by it.

Nobody applauds more vigorously than
do the great mass of motorists the action
of the authorities on the west side of
the state who chased and caught an
automobile driver who had, through care
lessness on his own part. collided with
a carriage in the town of Salisbury and
then attempted to get beyond the pale
of the law without making just recon-
pense to the owner of the carriage. And
those same automobiles will find cause
for satisfaction that the driver of the
speeding car was forced to disgorge to
the extent of the damage under fair APP
praisal. The fellow was one of that
class of visiting tourists who do not feel
a sense of personal responsibility when
they come into Vermont but who think
to ride over the state, roughshod, as it
were, making other motorists. teams and
pedestrians scatter at the raucous shrieks
of their horns and caring little what
property damage they do if the road is
not cleared for their passage forthwith.
A lesson or two in decent driving for
this small class of automobile users will
prove of great benefit in making the
roads of Vermont reasonably safe for all
kinds of traffic.

CURRENT COMMENT
Improvement in Aberdeen Granite Trade.

!
After several years of depression in
the granite quarrying industry Of Aber-
deem, noticeable improvement occurred
during 1913, according to reports made
to the department of commerce, Wash
ington. The price of Swedish granite
keeps advancing on account of increased
cost of production at the deeper levels
now reached, and it is expected that
competition from this source will be
less keen in future, as the more easily
operated quarries of Swedish granite are
said to be nearly exhausted. Figures
taken from the Aberdeen harbor returns
show exports during 1918 of Al ,l29
tons, and imports 22.i96 tons, as con-
trasted with 1880 tons exports and 49,
100 tons imports in 1912. As much of
the manufactured granite is shipped by
rail to Glasgow and other ports, the har-
Dor export figures are not complete, but
they give a fair indication of the trend
of trade in this line. IL Is worth not
ing that while more than one-half of the
tonnage of exports consisted OF paving
sets. curbng and the like. no less than
1875 tons of exports during 1918 con-
sisted OF polished granite. The CORES
pondents OF the stone trade papers in
England take hopeful view of the sit
uation at Aberdeen and say that more
stones could be disposed OF than can be
produced. and more men could be en-
ployed than can be obtained.-From

THE BASEBALL CLASH.

The first serious clash between the
baseball oligarchy and the new organiza
ton which is called the Baseball Play
ers' Fraternity over what was in itself
really small matter resulted in the
strengthening of the position of the lat
ter through virtual acceptance Of the
terms presented by the ball players.
The matter at issue scarcely came to
the point of action by the so-called ma
jor league baseball being settled by the
individual owner concerned before arriv-
ing at that stage; but to all intents and
purposes the oligarchy thereby admitted
itself in the wrong so far as one of its
individual members was concerned and
took prompt action to make the proper
amend. just what the calling of strike
by the baseball players would have
amounted to is, therefore, matter for
conjecture only and the sympathy of
the general public is not placed 1t is
certain, however, that large number of
people throughout the country of the
millions who interest themselves more or
less in the great national game, are
much in sympathy with the move OF the
players to gain for themselves certain
degree Of independence and capacity for
Fighting wrongs done their individual
members; and they believe that the
Baseball Players Fraternity is the best
agency for attaining such position OF
strength. Hence this portion of the pub
lie applauds the victory of the fraternity
in sustaining the rights of one of its
members, while taking secret delight
that the players have gained another
foothold in a struggle that eventually
will place them on ground to demand
their just rights and to remove them
somewhat from the classification of mere
chattels The Baseball Players Frater-
nifty has had an uphill fight but it sure
ly is gaining ground.
