THE FOOTBALL VICTORY.

The residents of Middebury have
shared the happiness of the students of
the college in winning the football game
at Burlington last Saturday and so ac-
curing the football championship of
the State of Vermont Both the boys
and their instructors worked hard and
deserve all the honor and satisfaction
that has been coming to them. Their
friends in the village were pleased that
they celebrated their victory in an en-
tirely orderly and proper manner. Such
restraint increases the good will of the
community toward the college boys.
One of the most pleasing incidents
connected with the victory was the very
gracious and generous letter written by
President Benton of the University of
Vermont to President Thomas of Mid
debury College congratulating him on
the Middlebury triumph. This letter
indicates better feeling between the
two institutions than formerly pre-
vailed and is highly creditable to Presi-
dent Benton, not only showing the
spirit of good loser" but also as in
dicating the proper relationship be-
tween sister institutions. Here is what
President Benton wrote:-
"Let me avail myself of the first OPP
portunity after returning to my desk to
extend to you and the faculty and
students of Middlebury College my
heartfelt personal and official congratu-
lations upon the splendid victory won
by your football team on Saturday. |
want the young men of the University
of Vermont, in the spirit of true sports
manship, to learn how to be good
losers" In the Middlebury players
they met team worthy of their
prowess and while the honors have fall
len to their rivals, | shall seek to i'm
press the fact that they themselves have
been honored in being defeated by such
worthy opponents. hope and believe
that they will generously concede that
the victory was fairly won by Middle
bury College.
"The reports of the game that come
to me from faculty members and
students are uniformly to the effect
that our visitors from Middlebury Col
lege on Saturday, both spectators and
players, deported themselves as true
colegians and were ladies and gentle
men highly creditable to the institution
in which they have membership.
GAS the years go on, trust that
friendly rivalries Of this sort will in
crease reciprocal respect in our institu-
lions and rebound to the common good. "

Senator BOrah Against Any
Cant Strike" Law.

Washington, Dec. 29-In state
ment made public last week United
States senator Borah records his
opposition to all forms of can't
strike" legislation:
Il do not see just how those who
are advocating the Canadian arbi-
tration law for this country, OF any
law for effective compulsory inves-
tigation and arbitration, are going
to get by certain we'll established
legal principles, he SAYS.
There seems to be an impres-
sion that the whole thing is made
easy because we are to deal with a
body of men and not a single indi.
vidual. In other words ii is srp-
posed, apparently, that while you
cannot compel an individual to
work or to punish him b cause be
quits work that you can compel a
body of men acting collectively or
as y union to work or punish them
because they agree to quit work.
To say that the concerted action of
powerful bodies of men shall not
be permitted to stop the industrial
process of the nation does not meet
the situation at all. 1t is true,
however, that powerful bodies of
men acting together may quit work
and may decline to accept employ
meat and If their quitting work
has the effect of stopping the opera
tion of trains 1t Is nevertheless their
right to quit.

Bonus Does Not Fool Them

Chicago, Dec. 20. This is what
the official journal of the CONNER
cial Telegraphers' union thinks OF
the bonus recently announced by
the Western Union Telegraph con-
pany:
while any relief, no matter how
temporary ii may be, is always
welcome to the workers, the tele-
graphers employed by the Western
Union arr too intelligent to be APP
peased for long by anything short
of substantial increase in wages
for which the bonus given is not a
decent substitute
The company has followed It's
usual tactics of placing a subslan-
tial string 70 everything that il
may give 10 the workers. In this
case, the bonus is expected to help
them TO tide over a period when
the telegraphers could insist upon
living wage ard establish their
rights as an insurance against the
future. As it stands, should the
guess of the Western Union Off
cials be right, the telvgraphers will
sacrifice the permanent benefits IL
be derived through organization
because they received a 6 or 7 pei
cent bonus in 1916. Nobody car
tell what it will be in 1917, anC
what will happen TO telegraphers
when apother depression comes
IF the company had advanced
wages Z per cent in 1916, and then
reduced them year hence, con
siderable unrest would follow
But bonus is different. 1t car
be given one year and withheld the
next year For the thoughtless
the bonus is a great institution,
but among intelligent telegraphers
it will lack appreciation
Our program outlined for the
Western Union still stands. An
hour day, seven-hour night, S6C

CALLED THEM INDIANS.
How the Red Men of This Countr,

Came to Get That Name.
But" said the little girl who has
now reached the dignity of owning a
geography, why did they call the peo-
pie they found in this country Indi-
ans?' The people who live in India
ought to be called by that name"
Now, that was a very appropriate
question for the little girl to ask And
the answer to the little girl and to any
other little girls and boys who may be
puzzled by the same thing is that Co.
lumbus and his men didn't start out to
discover America They didn't, of
course, know there was any America
here What they did believe was that
the world was round and that by sail
ing far enough they would come up on
the other side You all know now that
what they believed is true, but in those
world was fiat and that if ship sailed
far enough out into the ocean it would
fall off the edge.
Columbus said that If he took a ship
and sailed and sailed he would at last
come to India Now, India was very
rich country, and for hundreds Of years
Europe had been trying to lind an
easier way to get there 50 what Co
lumbus said appealed to eool many
merchants and traders. and Spain final
ly fitted out some ships for ColNlhps.

did reach America, hIt ha believed he
