Where Is the system?

What has become of "the system
of which we heard so much a few
years ago? Does it still exist, or
has it been expunged, or is it hfber-
mating? Is it possible that we have
escaped from it's nefarious clutches?
Has it been reduced from a high
state of Systematically organized
predatoriness to low state of chao-
tic disorganized impotency? Or
has it been so improved and per-
fected and has friction been elimf-
mated from it's operations to such an
extent that it now separates US from
our resources without noticing it?
Or has it separated us from so much
that we do not consider it worth
while to make a fuss about what re-
mains? Or has it undergone a re-
birth so that it now uses its mani
fold talents and powers in favor of
the public as a whole instead of that
particular part of the public known
as the investing public?
Something must have happened
to 1.-The System" Can anyone tell
what?-Life.

MONTPELIER IL, ST. j. A. z.
Local Team Easily Beaten In a Game
With Heavy Hitting.

Timely hitting by Montpelier
Seminary, coupled with many cost
ly errors by St. ]. A., gave the for
mer team the edge on Saturday
game at the campus, the score read
ing IL to z. For six innings the To-
Gals were fooled by Hay but in the
seventh they got to him for three
runs and three more resulted from
a batting rally in the ninth. Their
other run scored in the sixth, was
of rather a scratchy variety. Park
er of the visiting nine was the heavy
stick artist, polling out three bingles,
two of them being doubles. Hay,
besides holding the locals safe until
relieved by Baird in the ninth, also
connected for a three Dagger with
two men on. Aside from the heavy
hitting, the game was devoid of fea-
lures and at times bordered on the
listless. A good crowd was in at
tendance and from their squirt in the
ninth, it seems as though the locals
might serve up little better brand
of base ball with the acquisition of a
little more pep. Spaulding High, on
the campus this afternoon, will force
the local school boys to show their
best and it should be a good mix.

CLEANUP WEEK OVER
Parade and Bonfire the CIosin.
Events.

After a strenuous week of clean
ing and painting, in which St. Johns
bury was made to fairly glisten, the
workers relaxed last Saturday after
noon and spent the afternoon in
play.
The main event was the big parade
at o'clock. There were over $50
in line, led by the ST. Johnsbury
band. About $50 school children
carrying brooms and rakes, made
a pretty sight and the prettily dec
GRATED floats drew forth many COM
plimentary remarks. B. A. Palmer,
on a bicycle of the 1872 vintage,
furnished the fun. After travers-
ing the principal streets the column
broke ranks and the kids were en-
tertained at the Globe Theater
through the courtesy of Manager
Graves.
In the evening a mammoth bon
fire on the Railroad street dump at
tracted a large crowd and at the
same time disposed of an enormous
amount of refuse which had been
collected during the week.

KEEP CLEANING UP
Suggestion About the Care of Dump
ing Grounds.

Let the good work go on! Clean
up days should come oftener than
once a year. Let all those who have
helped on the cleanup campaign this
last week establish the habit of dis
posing of all waste or used-up ma
terial at regular intervals each day
or week, so that our homes, streets
and parks may, present an ideal ap-
pearance always.
Where shall the refuse be put?
Surely not on the banks of the beau
tiful Passumpsic River to be viewed
by all travellers passing through the
town on the trains, and make I'M
sanitary one of the incest country
walks and wild flower gardens. 1t
may be used judiciously for filling
in holes and making new land if
properly controlled. The authorized
dump heap should be covered with
wholesome dry earth and sown with
grass and flowers so that instead of
being an offense to all observers it
may be made to rejoice and bios
som into new beauty each season.
go make thy garden fair as thou
canst
Thou workest never alone.

thine
May see it and mend his own
