have the sprawl to live up to that dec.
laration the evil would soon be done
away with. In other words, if the great
American people should resolve firmly
never to hand out bride to the EN-.
ployes of the Pullman cars and to travel
or the railroad lines unterrorized by any
threats, expressed or implied, of poor
service, there would soon be an end of
the evil of tipping and the Pullman Car
Co. would soon be called upon to make
up the deficiency in wages by paying a
reasonable stipend to the men in its en-
ploy. The Pullman Car Co. officials ad.
nit such a possibility in case the Amer
lean travelling public should have the
courage to live up to declaration OF in
dependence above referred TO. At the
present time, the public is virtually pay
ing the wages of the employees direct,
while the stockholders of the Pullman
Car Co. have fine dividend at regular
intervals.

Justice Charles +. Hughes of the
United States supreme court couldn't be
hauled into politics again even by is
yokes of oxen; and it is useless to bring
forward his name in connection with the
Republican nomination for president Of
the United States. He is in his proper
environment as a member of the supreme
court bench and he is well satisfied to
remain there for the rest of his active
life. The work in connection with the
judicial position is entirely TO his liking,
and for il he is eminently fitted.

who tried to prove his side of wager
that man could go into a fve-and- ten
cent store in Boston and steal dollars
worth of goods undetected, was caught
by the sharpness of sales girl after he
had appropriated IS cents worth. There
fore, we conclude that Mr.. Syn flor that

quarters right in his original claim. But
to take a whole dollars worth-that was
another matter.

Besides introducing an era of good
roads in Vermont, the automobile de-
mands that the roads be made safe as re-
CARDS bridges, culyerts, etc. The easy
going policy of former days has outlived
its usefulness and the up-and-doing pol
icy has taken its place. Those towns
which are slow to adopt the new policy
are likely to be called upon to suffer the
consequences, or at least to defend them

WORK DONE BY BARRE WOMEN.

The work which the women of Barre
are doing for the betterment Of their
community was in part related TO the
public through the reports submitted at
the annual meeting of the Woman's club
Tuesday afternoon and printed in yes.

of municipal activity which the women
OF the community seem best fitted 10
perform, and il is noticeable that Barre
women have discovered what those
phases are and imbued with deep local
pride, have accepted the work willingly
and energetically. In consequence of
their acceptance Of the responsibility, the
city gained greatly during the past year,
both in those results which are tangible
and those which are intangible. We ven

CHESS is NOT so SLOW.
Fifteen Moves an Hour ls the Rule In
Championship Games.

Fifteen Moves an Hour ls the Rule In
Championship Games.
What is the average length of time
that a chess player in an international
championship contest takes to mover
Among mere human players there
are many traditions of how these peers
of the game scorn to make a move In
less than All hour; nay, more, how they
consume whole evenings and often
times days In a single move. Such
tales are rife In rural chess circles.
Now, In hard fact, these superplay-
ers move more rapidly than the ev-
eryday expert. The common limit In
international championship matches Is
fifteen moves an hour; a player falling
to get within this limit loses the game
no matter how commanding his posi-
ton; an average of four minutes to the
move is considered ample time. In
deed, when Capablanca challenged
Lasker for the worlds championship
he was held to be justified In refusing
Lasker's condition that the limit be
heightened to twelve moves an hour.
In championship games a chess clock
is always used. This has two dials.
each dial controlled by a plunger. I'M
mediately after black has moved white
strikes his plunger, which starts the
hands on his dial recording time. At
the instant he moves he strikes his
plunger again. halting the mechanism.
Black then strikes the plunger of his
dial, starting his clock in tnrn. The
dials thus record the net time each
consumes IN moving.
or course in practical play the con
testant gets more than the four min
utes. The first eight or ten moves arc
almost always book plays, made in less
than n minute each. This allows much
time as credit on later moves Fur
thermore. even when his opponent is
moving. u player studies his own next
move. based on the probable move Of
his opponent. But the day long or
even the hour long move exists only in

The Union Soldiers PRIVILEGE.

A peculiar privilege came to the men
who fought for the Union. There is
no other civil war In history the stings
of which were removed before the men
who did the fighting passed from the
stage of life. So that we W those
men something more than a legal re-
establishment of the Union. We owe
them the spiritual re-establishment OF
the Union. for they not only reunited
states. but they reunited the spirits of
men. That is their unique achieve
ment. unexampled anywhere else in the
annals of mankind. that the very men
whom they overcame in battle join in
praise and gratitude that the Union
was saved.-President Wilson.

This recalls to the loving memory of
her relatives and many friends, the
beautiful and unselfish life of Mrs.

passed on to the "Home over There"
where we're waiting, "Those loved lol g
since, bat lost awhile" to welcome her
TO a blessed reunion, the joys of which
the finite mind cannot conceive. In
lifeNshe brought her tributes of warmest
love and devoted service to lay at the
feet of her Saviour and King.
AS visitor for the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union in Philadelphia,
she carried the cheer and hope of the
Gospel to the prison cells of Moyamens-
ing and the slums of Saint Mary's
street.
Moving her residence from Philadel-
phia to Brideton, she identified herself
with the temperance cause there, serv-
ing as president of the local Woman's

vices was made q life member of the

as President of the Cumberland County

OF men whose firmness. never overthrow,
Proved itself steadfast, which did add to

Speed, vision, certainty and ever grown
More terrible as more enduring shone
A fire of retribution and swift hate.

Unsullied In our breast and pure and

Since sacred memories and the tears men

Alone can keep a nation at its height.

Department Of Justice Forms
Special Corps Of Agents Who
Speak Foreign Tongues.

A special corps of men particularly
qualified through linguistic ability and
experience TO handle cases involving
violation by foreigners OF the American
neutrality laws Is gradually being form
ed nv the Department of Justice.
All new special agents must speak a
foreign language. A number OF agents
have already been replaced with ap-
pointees fitting this specification.
The new plan Is part of the co-opera-
tive work agreed upon by the three
Governmental agencies available for
special detective work-Justice. the
secret Service of the Treasury Depart
ment, and the special inspectors Of the
Postofflce Department-who are now
working together to unearth con-
spiracies against neutrality laws.
The Department of Justice expressed
qualification today over the disclaimer
OF the German embassy that Captain
matte OFFICIAL, or that he represented the
German government. This Is expected
to facilitate Won Rintelen's extradition
from England for a trial in New York
in connection with propaganda work.
1t is limited that the New York grand
jury may return additional indictments
against him.
The department has no additional
word today regarding the alleged bomb
