WORKINGMEN'S BANKS.
Plan to Aid Toiers to Secure Loans
Based on Character.


Based on Character.
A number of Americas rich men. ac-
cording to the dispatches, including
Julius Rosenwald. Andrew Carnegie
and Vincent AS or, are contemplating
the establishment of number of
banking institutions to aid men with
out the necessary credit for borrowing
at ordinary banks.
There are a number of institutions
of this kind in Europe where credit is
based on character. The capital back
of the movement is said to be almost
unlimited The plan contemplates a
central institution. with hundreds of
similar institutions all over the coun-
try controlled by the central insttu-
ton 1t Is interesting to know the
scheme has been tried in other coun-
tries and il works well. 1t is said that
there are nearly 10000 such institu,
tons in Germany.
The object is to aid workers and
small business men who find it almost
impossible to get loans at regular
banks. 1t is combination of bust
ness and philanthropy. The rates will
be as low as possible. yet the institu
tons will be run so as to pay the
ockholders 6 per cent intereSt-hut
no more-as soon as the profits exceed
{; per cent. then the interest to borrow
ers is to be reduced. The plan is
unique in the history of American rhi-
lanthropy.

PRINCIPLES DECLARED.
Legislative Committee of Pennsylvania
Grange Announces Platform.

We are convinced that our highway
department must be recognized after
the pattern of the school department
in order that the committees who use
the roads will be held responsible for
the expenditure of the money. We
demand an adequate appropriation of
100000 a year and that business
roads instead of boulevards be the
policy of the state.
We are in favor of blanket appro-
priation for state charities in order
that the log rolling in connection with
the state appropriation may be re-
duced.
We favor a general revision of the
tax laws in order that the burdens of
taxation be more equitably distributed.
The suggestion of the Pennsylvania
oranges and others be called at Wash
ington preceding the next meeting OF
the national grange for the purpose of
discussing and deciding our position on
the subject of rural credits is being
cordially received.
We call attention to the increased
taxation in some of our rural school
districts and the decrease of state APP
preparation in those same districts. and
we urge the grange committee on ed
ucation to investigate this matter at an
early date.
We are in favor of a more stringent
immigra ton law.
We favor the initiative, referendum
and recall.
We favor the payment to school dis
tricts the minimum salary Of teachers
for the minimum school term.
We reaffirm our position favoring To-
cal option. which means that the peo-
pie shall decide whether liquor shall
be sold, and we again demand that a
stringent anti-treating law be enacted.
We are opposed to clubs dispensing
liquor. either with or without license.

THE LIFE OF THE OSTRICH.

The Ostrich is a very large bird
having only two toes corresponding to
the third and fourth of other birds
1t is the largest existing bird, reach
ing height of to feet, and weighs
from so to 100 pounds. The males are
of black color excepting the feathers
of the wings and tail which are white.
The female is dark brownish grey. The
head and neck are nearly ed and
the plumage generally is very loose,
admirably suited for the climate, pro-
tecting from the sun 5 heat and at the
same time allowing perfect ventilation.
1t is for these long white feathers
that the ostrich is hunted, the best
being considered taken from the males.
Some of the plumage is so coarse as to
resemble hair. The best ostrich
feathers come from Levant and the
northern coast of Africa.
They inhabit the dry sandy plains of
Africa and the Barbary States and
Egypt to the Cape of Good Hope The
| nearing anu SlSHl are very acute anu
the length of neck and high position of
their eyes enables them to perceive any
approaching object.
They are very shy and escape by a
quick stately walk or a rapid run.
When terrified the average stride taken
is II to IA feet and they are known to
have accomplished % miles an hour.
Their food consists OF fruit, grain,
vegetables, leaves, insects, snails and
such other food as can be picked up
They are fond of swallowing all kinds
of indigestible substances, some of
which may be taken to aid digestion,
but most from mere stupid voracity.
The nest is from 3 to feet in
diameter. In this are laid by single
bird as high as 20 eggs which are in
cubated at night and left TO the heat
of the sun during the day. Outside the
nest are scattered several eggs which
are thelfirst food for the young. The
capacity of the ostrich egg is equal to
"a hens eggs and weighs from 2 to 8
pounds.
The wholesale price of good feathers
in Africa is $l20 pound in the raw
state.
Ostrich were we'll known in ancient
times and their brains served as food on
the tables of the Romans.

MiddIebury Beats Norwich.

In one of the most hotly contested
games of the year, the Middlebury team
scored decisive defeat over the strong
Norwich team by the score of 10 on
Porter field last Satul day afternoon.
The game was intensely vigorous
made so by the determined efforts of
the Norwich men to get through the
Middlebury line, if it was a possible
thing. 1t seemed to the Middlebury
onlookers, however, as if the team Were
holding themselves in reserve for
supreme effort if such was needed.
The first quarter began at few min
utes after three. Murphy kicked off to
Reynolds, who ran the ball back five
yards. The feature of the quarter was
a run by Bresnahan around left end for
twelve yards. Middlebury was penal
lied ten yards for holding and Hubbard
was forced to kick. Norwich was I'M
able to gain and Murphy kicked thirty
yards to Hubbard. In quick succession
Middebuly made three first downs due
to Keefe's line bucking Middlebury
fumbled and Norwich recovered. Muir
ply made gain of 10 yards. The first
forward pass was made by Bishop of
the Norwich team for twenty-five
yards. Norwich was penalized for
hurdling on the next play.
On the first play of the second quarter
Craig of the Norwich team was injured,
but remained in the game. Bishop
tried a drop kick, but the ball went
wild. On the next play Craig was
again injured, but again refused to
leave the game. Bishop recovered
Middlebury's tumble in the middle of
the field Lynch went in for Lamere
Bishop attempted forward pass, but
Jones caught the ball for Middlebury.
Norwich had stone wall defence and
took the ball on downs Lang broke
through and blocked an attempted drop
kick. Kron went in for Hubbard.
Norwich was penalized ten yards for
hol ling and Bishop punted to the mid
field. -.
At the beginning of the second half
Kron made short kickoff, and the
ball was run back to Norwich s forty
five yard line. After several gains
Bishop tried drop kick from the forty
yard line, which failed. Middlebury
made first down. The next two plays
Middlebury was held for no gain and
Kron punted forty yards to Bishop, who
ran the ball back ten yards. Norwich
was caught holding and the play did not
count. Middlebury made first down
twice. Kron made five yards. Keefe
gained three more by bucking the line.
Standing over the Norwich goal line
Jones received a perfect forward pass
for touchdown. Jones kicked the
goal. This was the first and only score
made by either team. Although sew
eral times during the remainder of the
game it looked as though another touch
down would be scored, none was made.
Norwich at no time was threatening,
and only by Bishops first-class punting
was she able to prevent Middlebury
from making another score

NORMAL SCHOOLS.

To the Editor of the Register:
In my previous articles | have shown
the educational commission to be wrong
in its attitude toward consolidation of
schools and transportation of pupils;
wrong in its attitude toward the normal
schools; wrong in its attitude toward
higher education; wrong in its attitude
favoring an all-powerful State board of
education, for the following reasons:
Consolidation means a loss of farm
population, a consequent shrinkage in
farm values and loss OF trade to our
cities and villages.
Normal schools are the most effective
agents in existence for supplying the
elementary schools with trained teach
ers. Other States are strengthening
and increasing theirs. Trained teachers
are our greatest need. Why abolish the
best machine for making them?
Our colleges are doing good work.
If Vermont is to become the prosperous
and progressive State, to which her
natural resources and position entitle
her, she must have well educated lead
ers, embued with loyalty that is best
engendered in her own colleges. With
out such leaders she will fail to reach
the highest plane of success.
An all-powerful State board of edu-
cation is a mistake. 1t should be given
large powers, but no small board, how
ever able it may be. is sufficiently wise
on all subjects, to have delegated to it
powers that should be exercised by the
legislature or left to home rule by the
communities.
But" says my friend, the legislator,
81 am more anxious to know what |
should do to make conditions better
than what | should not do.
First-Provide better trained teach
ers. The commission recommends this
and our people demand it. The steps
necessary are:
First-A salary schedule for all grade
positions in every town in the State.

TAXING THE RAILROADS.

Several weeks ago the Rutland Herald
of a million of dollars of the Central
Vermont Railway company and added
that there are people who want to raise
its taxes. There is nothing logical about
that under our present system of taxa
ton. The profits of concern or a cor
poration, or an individual have never en-
tered into the taxation question, except
under the recent income tax.
If the amount of taxes that the Central
Vermont Railway company is to pay is
to be based on the profits of the com
pany then why should not individuals be
taxed by the same method? There are
thousands of pieces of property through
out Vermont that do not net the owners
a cent of income yet they are taxed just
the same. The State is not in partner
ship with the railroads to exact toll when
they have good year and to defer tax
payments when they have bad year
Then it would seem that the net revenue
of the railroads should have no bearing
whatever on the method of their taxa
ton.
There is no answer to the proposition
that the railroads and all other corpora
tions should b : taxed on the actual val
uation of their property in the same
manner that business concerns and in
dividuas are taxed There is no dispo-
sition on the part of the State or the
people to treat the railroads unfairly in
this matter of taxation or in other ques-
tons for that matter.
The railroads are of great benefit to
the State, and so are many other con-
Germs. The railroads need the people just
as much as the people need the railroads
and with reasonable and just co-opera-
ton there will be greater benefit for all
1t is equally as unfair for the railroads
to expect specially favored legislation
as it is for the people to ''have it i'm
for the railroads.
Such a sentiment has been altogether
too strong in the past and is not con-
ducive to the best development of Yer
mont's resources. Let there be full
cooperation between the people of the
State and the railroads and then there
will be greater prosperity for all
The Clipper.
The Register thinks that the above
article is very eXcellently written.

FIRST TRAIN DISPATCHER.

The first man to move trains by tele-
graph dispatching is living in Oak Park,
III. He is A. H. Copeland, for 40 years
agent and operator for the Chicago and
Alton at Chenoa, III. 1t was in Yer
mont in 1852 that the Morse invention
was first brought into use for train
despatching. In that year Copeland was
a young clerk in the postoffice at Middle
bury, and was also the telegraph opera
tor. In those days trains wei run solely
by the time card. In December 1852, a
heavy snow storm delayed all trains on
the Rutland and Burlington, the mail
from Boston being held back for many
hours. When the train from the north
came in Copeland told the crew they
would have long wait at Brandon, the
next stop, where they usually passed
the mail from Boston. He then sug-
gested that the operator at Brandon
call Rutland and ask the crew of the
could get through, thus saving a long
delay. 1t developed, however, that the
operator at Brandon had gone to Bur-
lington. The train crew then induced
Copeland to ride with them to Brandon
and send the message.
Upon reaching Brandon Copeland sent
message to Henry Howe, conductor of
the mail train asking him to hold his
train at Rutland until the accommodation
arrived from the north, signing the name
of Conductor Tiffany. Conductor Howe
replied that he would do so and the &C
comodation proceeded. A freight train
that followed asked for similar favors,
and, after messages were exchanged,
also proceeded. The movement resulted
in safety and marked saving in delay
The messages exchanged were pre-
served by Mr.. Copeland and are of his
toric interest, marking a new area of
railroading. 1t soon became common,
when trains were off their schedule, to
exchange orders, and this primitive bit
of dispatching soon became known to
officials. They were quick to realize the
advantages, and soon each road con-
structed Its own telegraph line and en-
ployed its own operators. Copeland s
claim of being the original train des-
patcher has never been questioned.
