AN ARGUMENT FOR THE SINGLE
TAX.
Sincerely,
Editor of the Register:

Editor of the Register:
The following clipping is from The
Public:
The Wisconsin State University was
rece tly compelled to pay SIT, 900 for
bit of land that it had itself sold some
years before for $50. The rise in value
was largely brought about through the
presence of the University in Madison.
| was therefore compelled to pay for
value it had itself created. But this is
in fact an every day occurrence. Wher-
ever land values are privately appropri
ated the experience of the University is
being repeated, and it is not hard to
find even more glaring examples than
the one noted. The very frequency of
such happenings blinds people to their
significance. The average man must
stop to think before he realizes the real
significance of a tale of some lucky in
dividual enriched through unearned in
crement. He is more likely to wish
himself in that lucky PERSONS place
than to realize that in the laws which
make possible private appropriation. by
few, of socially created values, is the
underlying cause of widespread poverty
and distress. That the problem of pow
erty should seem so difficult of solution,
while examples pointing to the solution
are so commonplace, is one of the
tragedies of civilization.
Someone may see an analogy between
the situation of the University men
toned and that of our own Middlebury
College. w. C. DUNCAN.

TEMPERANCE AT WILLIAMS.
The Continent,

The class of 1915 at Williams College
has taken a new stand in that institution
by voting solelmnly among its class
rules for its alumnal future that it will
never permit liquors to be dispensed at
any of the reunions it expects to hold
on the college campus in years to come.
The Williams seniors have evidently
had an eye out for what has happened
IN connection with alumnal celebrations
at commencement times while they have
been in college, and they see worthy
opening to set good,eXample to some of
their predecessors in the alumni fellow
ship. Assuredly, they will never have
occasion to apologize for their resolu-
ton, whether it is regarded as a matter
of good taste or of moral courage. The
young fellows see the drift of things in
their own time better than some of the
"old fellows"

FROM WITHOUT THE STATE
WALL STREET ON RELIGION.
The Wall ST. Journal.


There is every sign that such
religious revival is developing; and if
this is the case, it is of infinite concern
to business men. Even such move
ments as are inaugurated by spectacu
lar evangelists, who preach down to
their hearers rather than up to their
God, are significant. If that sort of
froth or scum is apparent on the sur
face, there is a movement of greater
depth and potency below. In this
direction lies reform, because the only
real reform starts in the individual
heart, working outward to popular
manifestation through corporations,
societies and legislatures.
Here, then, is the better remedy, and
better promise for future business
managed under the best standards Of
honor and humanity, than anything
Congress can enact, or the department
of justice can enforce. Here is a move
ment which renders investigation com
mittees unnecessary, which brings en-
ployer and employed together on the
common platform of the love and fear
of God. Perhaps nine-tenths of the
evils from which we suffer are beyond
the reach of statutory law. But they
are all SUSCEPTIBLE to amendment by con-
science through the mercy of God.

VERMONT AND NEW YORK.

"a visitor from New York remarked
that the lawns in Middlebury show
the same near-green that the grass
patches present in Central Park. YER

New Workers if we can believe the

you have to make money. The best
market man can have is the home
market. The local merchant stands
back of his goods and his guarantee
goes with every sale.
The buy-at-home plan means more
public improvements, better stores,
prevention of business failures, more
optimistic spirit among the people, less
jealousy, and the absolute humiliation
of suspicious. Every citizen of Middle
bury should buy at home because his
interests are here; because if old Mid
dlebury is good enough to live in, it is
good enough to buy in. When you buy
at home you see the goods and the home
dealer gives you credit when necessary.
Every dollar spent in Middlebury stays
in Middlebury and works for the well
fare of Middlebury.
Every one who is interested in the
future prosperity of Middlebury should
realize that bigger and better things
would come more surely and more
quickly if the number of real Middle
bury boosters was larger and the spirit
of get together and boost, more APP
parent. Below are a few lines pub
lished by the Oneonta Board of Trade
that might well apply to Middlebury.
If your town needs boosting boost it,
Don't hold back and wait to see,-
If some other fellow is willing
Sail right in, the country's free.
No one has a mortgage on it,
Its just yours as much as his,
If your town needs boosting boost it
You get in the boosting biz.
If things don't seem to suit you,
And the town seems all gone wrong,
What's the matter with some boosting
Just to help the town along?
Now if things should stop a'going,
We'd be in a sorry plight,
Just you keep your voice ALLOWING
Boost your town with all your might.

Genuine Prescription
For All Rheumatism
Satisfaction Guaranteed or Money

RHEUMA--that is the name of the
scientific prescription that is putting old
rheumatism out of business.
Rheuma cures by driving the uric acid
from the blood. 1t also acts directly on
the kidneys and is better for them than
most so.called kidney cures.

matism for about 2G years. The disease

Rheuma with little faith in its virtues,

afford not to use it. 80 cents a bottle.

VERMONT OPINION.
THE MORGAN SALE.
Vermont Phoenix.

The difference between forced sale
and one which is made to meet demands
was illustrated strikingly at Middlebury
this week, when the collection of beauti-
full Morgan horses of the Battell estate
were sold for less than the value placed
on single stallion by the late owner.
1t is unfortunate for the home State of
the Morgan horse that nearly all of the
purchases of the Battell Morgans were
made by fanciers from abroad.

GOVERNOR NAMES ARBOR DAY.

L.
Governor Charles w. Gates has named
Friday, May z, Arbor Day, and has
issued his proclamation. 1t reads as
follows:
1t is highly important that the people
of our State give their earnest attention
to the preservation of our forests, the
protection of our song and insectivorous
birds and general improvement of the
attractive features of our common
wealth.
l therefore proclaim Friday, May 7,
1915, Arbor Day. and urge our good
people to considerably improve the day
in carefully selecting and planting trees
with the end in view of steady increase
of the substantial and economic value
of our forests and the Improvement of
our scenic beauty.
1t is essential that the necessity and
worth of this work be impressed upon
the minds of our boys and girls that the
results may be beneficial and lasting.
Fitting and impressive exercises should
be held in all our public schools and
practical demonstrations made in tree,
shrub and flower planting by our teach
ers and by the people generally.
The establishment of practical sys.
TEN of reforestation is important and q
study of the needs of such should be
made feature of the day and become
an important part of our educationa
system.
Our efforts should not be selfish; but
we should build for the future, that The
beautiful in nature, the strength in tn,
forest and the power in the stream may
be brought to the highest state Of
efficiency.

The girls of the graduating class Of

will be gowned at Commencement in
white batiste, the dresses to be made
alike by the girls themselves in large
part. A similar custom has been in
vogue in Orange and other towns in
Massachusetts. The plan is such a
sensible one that it ought to meet with
general approval. In this connection

unable to meet large and unnecessary

THE LEGISLATURE ONCE MORE

Burlington Free Press.
The reader can not glance through
the published summary of the acts of
the Legislature of 1915 without becom-
ing impressed with the large aggregate
of constructive legislation enacted by
that body When one takes into &C
count the fact that the General Assem-
bly, was notable for the comparatively
few members of previous experience it
contained, the tremendous amount of
commendable work it accomplished is
remarkable, and one cannot consider the
subject from this standpoint without
experiencing new pride in our system
Of government and gaining new faith in
the ability and wisdom of our people in
the exercise of sef-government.

PRODUCTS OF RURAL SCHOOL.
Editor of The Register:
The Carnegie Foundation and the dis
tinguished gentlemen who graced the
Educational Commission had a great
deal to say for many months about the
decadence and general inetficiency of
Vermont's rural schools. Middlebury
is one of our leading educational centers
and has one of the best graded schools
in the State, and yet | call your atten-
tion to the fact that of the members of
the class OF 1915 Of the Middlebury High
School five of the six having the high
est standing are the product of the
"decadent" country school, Vermont
can solve her own educational problems
without the assistance Of few theoriz-
ing carpet-baggers. What these Car
negie Foundation fellows don't know
about Vermont woul furnish them with
solid reading for many moons.

Negro Woman Killed

About five O'Clock Saturday
morning Lula Gambrell was shot
and instantly killed at her home
near Liberty Park by Charles
Williams, alias Charles Hudson.
The negro man fired the first
shot into the breast of the woman
as she slept in bed, the second
being fired into her head with
deadly effect. Either wound
would have proven fatal.
Williams Immediately fled and
when Sheriff Long, Marshal
Robertson and Mack Crawford
arrived on the scene they found
the dead body of the woman in
bed. Negroes in other parts of
the house were aroused by the
murderous report of the pistol,
but the murderer had made his
escape before the officers could
reach the scene. Sheriff Long
called for Mr.. Meals blood
hounds at Houston, which were
brought here on the first train.
They struck a trail and carried
it couple of miles north in Town
Creek bottom, where it was lost.
Williams has a record in the
criminal courts. He was last
year charged with stealing, but
was not convicted. He was also
charged with having shot at this
woman with a shot gun through
a window during the past sum-
mer. He also attempted to end
his own life by taking a dose of
carbolic acid. He was enamoured
with the woman that he killed
and sought to destroy her.
The sheriff is continuing the
search and it is believed that the
murderer will not get very far
away from the scene of his
bloody crime before his appre-
hensiOn.

Canning Civ, u oyiz

The work under the direction
of Miss Leva V. Bot of organ
izing the girls of Lee county in
to Canning Clubs and Domestic
Science Clubs is meeting with
every encouragement under her
able management. This work
has been undertaken by the
United States government and
the counties, and its purpose is
to reach the people in as effort
to demonstrate to them that
there are manifold opportunities
lying within their reach to pro-
vide themselves with many of
the necessaries of life with prac-
tically no cost. Canning Clubs
aim to conserve the resources of
the farm and garden by preserv-
ing in sufficient quantities to
meet the demands of the house.
hold. Tomatoes, beans, corn, in
fact a full list of vegetables and
fruits are preserved through the
means of these clubs and are
without any great cost to those
who undertake it.
An average garden a year like
this where opportunities are
available will provide sufficient
quantities of vegetables to more
than supply an average family
during the winter months. Or
chards are now burdened with
ripening fruit and the good
housewife who fails to provide
her larder with the delicacies
which can be preserved from the
orchard misses a great opportuu-
| ity to supply her family with
delicacies that are too expensive
to purchase.
A little canning outfit for fam
| lily use can be had at nominal
cost. Peaches cannot be handled
any great distance from a ship
ping point and they must either
be dried, evaporated or canned
to be preserved. Few of our
people have learned this simple
but valuable art and they should
not waste any time in getting an
outfit where they have fruit on
the place. Miss Bolt has aroused
much interest in the work as
signed her and the list of h, +
clubs continues to grow.
