The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-06-29

Reports are coming in of occupations
in which women are gradually losing
their chance of obtaining livelihood,
because of the rigidity of state regula-
tons restricting their activities. In
most of these callings the old employees
are allowed to stay, but such new places
as develop are regularly given to men.
The equal pay for equal work idea usu-
ally counts in the same direction.
The trend threatens TO reach proper
tons that Will invite serious attention.
The trouble will be that the competition
among women for the places that are
left will be so keen as to beat wages
down to pitiful figures. OF course, the
proper time for inquiry into the long
distance effects of such laws is on the
day when they are passed; but the SOL
ons on Beacon Hill are rarely in any
mood for that. Many of the modern
laws as to the hours Of labor and the
like are highly desirable on human
itarian grounds, but they should be CO.
ordinated with our general industrial
system and made to keep step with

younger man who has been constantly
in the fighting game. while Johnson has
been living the life of ease and Incidence
and had reached the age of 36 years
From the athletic standpoint, Johnson is
almost an old man albeit far short of
so-called middle life as the span of hui
man existence is reckoned 1t is some
what unusual for prize fighters to be
worth anything in the ring at that age
and especially after the usual life which
the prize fighter leads. Yet johnson
came back to the ring in Paris last week
and faced a man 10 years younger and in
fighting trim and beat him so decisively
that Moran was outclassed, both in skill
and in physical endurance. The victory
itself doesn't amount to much, but John
sons demonstration of ability to regain
his fighting condition at the age of 80
was an unusual performance

Who Enacted Section ASP

The Herald must confess to a very
poignant distress and shock when con
fronted by the following leading ques-
ton, promulgated yesterday by the
Burlington Free Press -:
We will now proceed further and ask
is it not a fact that the constitutional
commission reported in favor of the APP
pointment of the judges by the govern
or, and was not the report unanimous
Is il not fact that some of the very
interests now protesting We're willing
the governor should appoint so long as
they believed he would promote their
choice?
Is it not a fact that this represented
the attitude of some of the members
OF the supreme court as then constitu-
ted, and did not letters pass with refer
ence to the future personnel of the
bench?
Is it not fact that when the supreme
court as then constituted came TO in
sert the words cor oftener if need be, -
in the paragraph involving their own
possible election, some of the judges OBJ
jected and signed the report virtually
under protest.
Is it not a fact that one of the mem
bers of the bench was then disqualified
in certain cases because he indiscreetly
held considerable number of shares of
railroad stock involving interests on
which he might be called upon to pass
oficialIyf
There are more questions and they are
even more leading than the FORGING
but they should all bring TO the breast
of the patriotic Vermonter the same
sitting feeling of mingled indignation
and incredulty.
The Herald cannot believe, and it re-
fuses to be convinced, even in the face
of such a stunning array OF accusatory
questions, that the supreme court of the
state has been guilty Of sordid, petty
politics, or that it has lent itself, even
through bare majority of its justice,
to the creation of any such scandslous
situation as the contemporary would in
dicate.
1t must be true, instead, that the
poor, inept mind of the laymsn has fail

The appointment of Herbert c. Com
ings OF Richford as collector OF customs
for the western Vermont district may
be taken to be a compromise between
factions Of the Democratic party mas

of Burlington were closely in pursuit OF
the position, while Comings, together

out of the direct running. although per-

FIGHTING FOR IT'S EXISTENCE.

Under the shadow of the medical
school of Harvard university, the med
zeal department of Tufts college is fight
ing for its very existence, and its friends
are much alarmed over the possible out
come of the pressure being brought to
bear on that branch of the institution,
together with the dental department.
Whether or not Harvard university is
engaged in exerting any of that pressure
is not established, but it is openly
charged by some friends of Tufts that
Harvard is trying to crush both the
medical and the dental departments Of
the Medford institution. For instance.
one person declares: Harvard college is
back of the American Association of
Medical schools, and Harvard is power
full with her millions and her marble
buildings. The action of the association
is in line with the whole tendency which
is making it impossible for a poor boy
to get medical education" Further,
asserts this same person who, by the
way, is an officer of Tufts college: "Then
the Carnegie Foundation tends toward
real control OF all medical teaching in
this country. Theirs and other work in
other organizations tend to produce "a
sort Of medical aristocracy here
The Tufts Medical school is, then, fac
ing problem much like that of the
Vermont Medical college at Burlington
but probably more serious and, further
more. accentuated by the fact that the
Tufts school is located in close proxim-
itv to a far more powerful institution.

self, while Tufts has to compete with
an immediate opponent; the former has
duty to perform in training general
practitioners for the whole of Vermont
and northern New England while the
latter finds its obligation reduced
through competition not only with Har-
ward but with other institutions in
southern New England. But whether
the Vermont Medical school be less in
jeopardy at present than the Tufts Med
ical school or not, the efforts to intrench
the former should not be relaxed in the
least, because similar influences are at
work against it.

What 1t Costs to Be an Opium Eater.

In the June American Magazine ap-
pears an article entitled "A Modern
Opium Eater" written by former
newspaper man, who became victim
of the habit and is now a convict in a
penitentiary The following extract
from his article gives an idea of the
amount OF money required by an opium
eater.

Many large, new. modern barns are
taking the place OF old ones throughout
the county. This shows prosperity; also
that products must be on the increase
Another thing noticeable is the increase
of tidiness about and around the farm
buildings. Well-tilled fields, good fences.
clean front yards. flower beds and tidy
buildings ore strong magnets toward at

of the farm is advertised by the frontage

highways they have opened up to

should be made as attractive as possible.
