MANCHESTER DISTRICT
NURSING SERVICE MEETING


There will be public business
meeting of the Manchester District
Nursing Service on Saturday, May l.
at a. p. m. in the vestry of the Bap-
fist Church. A report of the finances
for the year ending April 9th will be
given and changes in the scale of
nursing fees discussed Owing to the
removal of the office of the County
improvement Society to Bennington,
whose former secretary, Mr.. Morse,
was also secretary and treasurer of
the District Nursing Service, it is
thought best to elect local secretary
treasurer. The first years financial
report is most encouraging with all
bills paid and a small balance in the
treasury. Those who are interested
in the continuance Of the service are
urged to be present at this meeting.
Mr.. Bartlett, the new secretary of the
Bennington County Vermont Improve
ment Association, will be present if
possible.

MANCHESTER MINISTER'S
ASSOCIATION MEETS

The April meeting Of the Manches-
ter Ministers Association was held
Monday, April Goth, with Rev. w. A.
Melntire. Of Dandy. Though the at
tendance was the smallest in the year.
yet the meeting was one Of the most
successful which the association has
held. This was very largely due to
the untiring and gracious hospitality
Of Mr.. Mclntire and his wife.
The morning session was held in the
beautiful rooms Of the Dandy Library.
President Bamford was in the chair.
The members present were; Messrs.
Bamford, Perkins and Brown Of Man
chester; Bradford of North Dorset,
and McIntire OF Dandy.
The discussion of the morning was
led by Mr.. Mclntire as he presented
his theme: First Impressions of Billy
Sunday and his Work" The discus
sion was informal, and the speaker
was often interrupted as the men fir
ed question after question suggested
by Mr.. Mclntire's remarks or by their
reading in connection with the many
side reports of the famous Sunday,
which appear in the religious and
daily press.
At 12:45 p. m. the meeting adjourn
ed to the parsonage of the Congrega-
tional Church to enjoy the tangible
proofs of most hearty welcome on
the part of the Mistress of the
Manse."
After dinner, Rev. P. A. Bradford
presented an outline sermon based on
Rom. 5.11. "The Atonement." The
theme and its presentation in Mr..
Bradford's own forceful way opened
thoughtful and prolonged discussion,
in which all present took part.
After passing votes of thanks and
appreciation tothe hosts of the day,
and the speakers, the association adj
journed to meet Monday, May 24.h,
with DR.. and Mrs. G. H. Gilbert OF
Dorset.

A PAGEANT OF HISTORY
A Fine Rendering OF Historical Scenes
b. Burr a Burton Students

The Pageant Of History given Tues
day evening for the benefit Of Nh
Senior Class was by far the mos
ambitious and spectacular attempt il
the line Of amateur dramatics under
taken by the seminary students an'
teachers, The staging and genera
plan OF the play was well conceive,
and ably executed by the corps Of
teachers and assistants; the parts wei
chosen and well performed
An audience Of nearly 400 apprecia'
tive citizens Of Manchester and vicln.
ity were in attendance and gave most
flattering evidence Of their interest by
close attention TO a somewhat lengthy
program and by their frequent and
spontaneous applause. The gross re-
ceipts were about $4,000 and though
the expenses for costumes, etc, were
considerable over $4,000 will be Melted
for the Seniors.
A full account Of the program was
given in last weeks Journal and so
will not need repetition here. II is
difficult TO comment upon the different
episodes, each so nearly perfect in its
way. But after making due allowance
for minor mishaps and imperfections,
the "tout ensemble" of each scene
proved delightful surprise to the
majority of the audience as evidenced
by later enthusiastic comments. The
costumes were for the most part, very
effective, the acting and defamation
good, showing painstaking teachers
and students. The effective handling
and conscientious work on the part of
over 80 participants in six rather elab-
crate scenes with so little confusion
and delay reflects great credit on Prof.
h. c. Jenkins and his corps Of assist
ant teachers and drill masters. Espec-
ial credit is due Miss Ruth Perkins and
Miss Jane Perkins for the success of
the undertaking; also to Miss Arnold
and Mrs. James l.. Davis of Manches-
ter Center; likewise to Miss Eleanor
Eglgeston for valuable assistance Mr..
Arr Brownson, the genial stage-car-
penter, scene shifter, property man,
and general factotum, proved himself
invaluable through Ais ubiquitous SER
vices. Miss Marion Bennett is to be
commended for so ably assisting with
the music at rehoarsals and during the
performance; also to w. X. Bennett
for his assistance in making up"
some of the boys who took part. Other
helpers, too, deserve credit whose
names do not appear. An expression
Of thanks is due to all who so kindly
loaned swords, dresses, etc, for the
occasion.
The question sometimes arises
the time and expenditure and
energy of both students and teachers
devoted 20 such public exhibitions is
justified in view Of the demands of the
regular work of the school. But
there can be little doubt that such
serious attempts as that Of the enter
tainment in question form legitimate
and desirable part of the students ac-
.ivities and prove of distinct educa-
ional value when engaged in within
reasonable limits. The event as a
whole was a revelation to many of the
old, results along many lines being
accomplished at the Seminary.

SOME ONE BLUNDERED
And as the Democratic Party is il
Control They are Responsible

Washington, d. c., April 90 A
blunder signalized the legislative ca.
reer Of the present administration.
The Democratic tariff bill, first in
the articles of Democratic faith, and
the one achievement on which natural
by they would be expected to expend
their most exhaustive study and care
was so clumsily executed that it failed
to accomplish the results intended
The failure was due to crude, hasty,
nnscientific, secret Legislative methods
Designed to furnish sufficient rev.
enue to finance the United States
treasury, it has proven absolutely in
adequate for that purpose.
In writing the tariff bill the Demo-
Gratis dimly foresaw possible reduc-
ton in customs receipts, although
they did not know how much and did
not ascertain the facts. So the in
come tax provision was Incorporated,
in the hope that it would make up for
any miscalculations in the tariff bill,
although the Democrats did not know
and did not ascertain the facts.
But what happened when these pro-
visions went into effect?
Customs receipts were millions Of
dollars below the amount needed from
that source, and at the same time col
lections from the income tax fell many
millions below the amount needed
from that source. The inevitable re-
suit was to leave the treasury without
sufficient money for its needs,
The failure was caused by careless
ness. Had there been conscientious,
open consideration Of the revenue bill,
sufficient TO enable members Of Con-
gress to study and understand it, the
reduction in revenue could have been
properly safeguarded. But instead Of
getting accurate information and ade-
quate estimates, the Democrats guess
ed at it. And they guessed wrong.
The results Of this first mistake
should have been warning. But the
startling fact remains that the Demo-
Gratis committed the same kind Of an
error again. Forced by their needless /
ness to provide more revenue they
passed "war tax" in time Of peace. /
Based on a guess instead of an estim- (
ate, the war tax did not produce mon
ey enough. For months the receipts
OF the treasury have been daily falling
short Of expenditures at rate reach
ing at times more than million dol
lars a day. According to official es-
Inmates the deficit will probably l
amount to one hundred million dollars
by July /, the end of the fiscal year.
No chain is stronger than its weak
est link. The fatal weakness that has
characterized the work of this admin
is,ration from its inception two years
ago has been its eagnerness to propose
laws, carelessness in drafting them,
haste in committee action, and stub
born refusal TO permit intelligent
amendment in either House or Senate
after the party brand had been affixed
by the all powerful caucus.

RAIN BROKE
INTERESTING GAME

Rain in the first half of fifth inning
broke up an interesting game at Jas
psr Yesterday evening with Pikevilie
at bat, and one out. The score was In
favor of Jasper, to 0, but will not
count as game as not passing fifth in
ming, If Pikeville had taken its full
turn at bat, it could have been called
a game. Pikeville had runner on
first with one out, Dummy Payne
who ran for Hutchinson after his hit,
having been out in chase between
second and third. Pikeville got three
men on base in second inning, but Mo-
sier captured high fly in center,
which finished them after which they
vera not dangerous until fifth. Blan-
sett. of Chattanooga, was in the box
for Jasper, Bennett receiving in SPLEEN
did style. Each team stole base a.
niece. made three hits each and three
errors each, but Pikeville's errors re-
smiled the more seriously. Jasper's
first baseman from Chattanooga dis
tinguished himself by some clever
fielding, his back hand stop of hot
skinner being a feature. Blansstt' 8
stop of a fierce hop WAS also another
brilliant fielding feature. A. jackson,

made a nice catch of line drive,
which was tagged more runs for Jas
