ST. ia. BEATEN
In THE TENTH
Peoples Acadamy Had The Man
To Break The Tie Of Four In
gings
GAME WAS SLOW
But Close Scores Kept Interest to the
Last-Gallagher and Witty in the
Box for St. JOhnsbury-
Duffy Did Well for
MOrrisviIIe.

With the score tied from the sixth
inning, Peoples Academy came across
with two singles that scored Charles
Sulloway and landed the game against
ST. Johnsbury Academy at Morrisville
Saturday, to 8. Errors or slow work
figured in nearly all of the run-getting
but as both sides were guilty along
this line things were about evened up
and it proved a warm contest
throughout.
st. J. A. landed the first run in the
second frame on a hit by Witty and
an error by Battye. MorriSville forg-
ed ahead in the next session, scoring
two on two hits and two errors. They
maintained this Iced until the sixth
and then added another to it when
Bedell poled out a three-bagger and
scored on BedelPs single. Things
were evened up in the sixth by reason
of three hits by Ellis, Gallagher and
Tillotson.
Gallagher replaced Witty in the
seventh and from then on it was
pitchers duel between him and Duffy.
The latter had been working in fine
shape and the advent of new man
in the points for the visitors didn't
seem to scare him in the least.
The team went into the extra ses-
sion with a Determination to put some
thing over but ST. j. "A. didn't have
it with them. But three men faced
the Morrisville man and they were
cas- youts. In MorriSville's half
Burnham was out, being hit by ball
which he struck at. Charles Sullo-
way laid a single into left and took
second on the throw-in. He scored
on the next play, a single to center
by Bedell, which Branch was a bit
slow in returning The score.

Officers Elected BY Prospect Chapter

(Mrs. Ellen A. Staples Correspondent
Prospect chapter of the Epworth
League held its annual business meet
ing Tuesday evening at the Methodist
vestry. The reports showed the past
year to have been a prosperous one
in which the league accomplished
some useful work among which was
the purchase of so song books for
use in the meetings; furnishing flow
ers for Easter decorations, and giving
a sum of money for church benevo-
lence. The new board of officers are:
President, Mrs. Ruth Wilcock; first
vice-president, Mrs. Ellen A. Staples;
second vice-president, Miss Amelia
Lee; third vice-president, Miss Mary
Chayer; fourth e-president, Mrs.
Fred KimbaIl; secretary, Mrs. Della
Gour; organist, Miss Laura Cragg
The meetings of the league have been
changed from Thursday to Sunday
night and it was voted to restore the
roll call the first Sunday evening of
each month. A collection is to be
taken the first Sunday for the league
treasury, the other evenings for fur
nishing flowers for the sick, and Mrs
e. G. Morse was elected a special
committee for this work.
Rev. Mr.. Wilcock is organizing the
boys of the church into a company of
knights of King Arthur, of which he
will be the Merlin.

such irresponsibility the democrats
have been thwarted.
We are confident it will prove well
for the country. The Philippines were
not taken for territorial aggrandize-
ment but as an obligation to a people
whose government we had driven
from the islands. Incapable of gov
erning themselves some outside au-
thority was necessary and the United
States accepted the obligation. 1t has
fulfilled that obligation with great
credit but it's duty is not fully per-
formed The Fflipinos are not pre-
pared for self-government and are ut
terly unable to maintain themselves
as an independent nation. In fact
there is no evidence Of a real national
spirit among them. To refuse further
control of them and throw them on
their own resources in four years
would simply be throwing them as a
morsel to the territorial wolves Of the
Old World. 1t would be leaving be-
side the road the package we had
pledged ourselves to deliver at the end
of the route and bring us further dis
grace as an international power. This
country's record is not good enough
to allow it to scuttle the ship on which
it has guaranteed safe conduct for it's
wards.

THE COUNTRY CHURCH
cry to Tradition and Fear of
New Methods.
(From The Literary Digest.)

(FrOm The Literary D1geSr.)
There are plenty of problems for
the rural parish, but just at present
their diversity seems to be lost sight
of in view of what is called the prob
lem of the country church. The lat
ter way of stating it is easy for discus
sions at conventions or in editorials,
but the son of D. L. Moody, now a
preacher at st. Johnsbury, VT, thinks
it doubtful if detailed examination
of one hundred, or even one thousand,
country ministers would yield any
thing like a clear answer as to what
was the problem of the country
church. To entertain the question is
to indulge in a great American
Weakness fondness for generaH-
ties' Rev. Paul Moody, as a preach
er in touch with country districts,
gives in The Biblical Review april,
New York; some of, "the problems,
economic and spiritual" that clamor
for solution in the country districts of
the East. The first of these concerns
the cityward drift of the native pop
ulation. Forty-seven per cent of our
people now live in the city, whereas
one hundred years ago IS to 80 per
cent of the American population re-
sided in the country. Not a single
community of Vermont, outside of
the towns or walled cities,'' he de-
clares, but what shows smaller pop
ulation now than before the Civil war.
Here are instances of what the coun-
try pastor sees of the city's demand
for young blood:
mo one but the pastor of a small
church knows what it means to see
the young man or woman, after a
college course perhaps, go. off to the
city, there to give the large church
the help so sadly needed in the small.
The pastor had looked forward to this
young man becoming the superin-
tendent of the Sunday School He
had prayed for this ever since the
youth went away to college, and he
reconciled himself to missing him for
the four years at college because he
looked ahead and saw the good he
was to do. This hope is shattered,
but no one can blame the youth for

The contest for the speakership of
the next house of representatives is
already developing. The Randolph
Herald and News says the people of
Chelsea should re-elect Stanley C..
Wilson town representative and the
house elect him speaker. On the
same day the Waterbury Record says
that if the voters of Montpelier
should elect w. A. Lord representa-
tive the house would surely elect him
speaker. Doubtless other aspirants
will be mentioned now the ice is brok-
en-, but if we were to choose between
Lord and Wilson we should say Will
son. The young man should have a
chance, especially after making good
in tie positions he has already held.

seen is the only man from the south
eastern section of the state who is a
real candidate. If his section of the
state is sohdly behind him the voters
in the other sections of the state will
be likely to favor his election.

The German Reply.

Boiled down to a few words the
German reply to the United States re-
garding the conduct of submarine
warfare is that it will not refrain
from the use of submarines but it will
not sink any more merchant vessels
without warning "and without saving
human lives unless the ship attempts
to escape or offer resistance" inside or
outside of the declared naval war
zone. But it will destroy merchant
vessels carrying war supplies to an
enemy. 1t also blames the United
States for not accepting the terms
made by Germany for the prevention
of accidents at sea.
We do not know at this writing
what the attitude of President Wilson
will BIT but it is evident Germany has
offered only half loaf where a full
loaf is demanded and unless the pres
ident is ready to back down we must
have action rather than words. 1t is
not the United States duty to coerce
England to observe the rules laid
down by Germany. Those countries
are at war with each other and this
nation cannot champion the cause of
either unless it breaks off diplomatic
relations with the one and allies it
self with the other. This the United
States is not ready to do unless it
becomes necessary for the protection
Of its own citizens and interests.
Germany promises no satisfaction
whatever for the offenses it has COM
mitted and condemns this country for
doing what it has done itself in all
former wars. supplying munitions to
the belligerents. To all who believe
the United States has the same rights
that other nations have always exer-
cised the reply must be unsatisfactory.
In view of the German conspiracies to
destroy American plants in American
territory, to foment strikes and dis
putes among American laborers fol-
lowing legitimate occupations in
American territory and plotting on
American soil for the destruction of
foreign property, we feel that diplo-
matte relations with that country
should be Immediately terminated.
Germany is our open enemy ready to
inflict any injury possible upon Amer
lean life and property and we should
treat her as such. The American
people are in a serious crisis but we
trust they will acquit themselves like
men.
The Vermont Tribune says: For
the first time in the history of the
state the election of a United States
senator is taken from the hands of
the legislature and put into the hands
of the people. At the September pri-
mary the people are to nominate a
senator and go on with his election in
November, when the other state Off
GERS are elected. There will be some
thing decidedly new about this nom
nation of a senator on popular
basis in lieu of his nomination and
election in joint assembly in Montpel-
Ter, and, naturally enough, it will take
some time too for the people to get
into line for the new privi-
lege." If we remember correctly Sen.
w. p. Dillingham; was elected by
direct vote Of the people in 1914. He
was nominated by a state republican
but this year the candi-
dates for senator will be nominated
by the direct primary held in Sep
TENDER. That, as we understand it,
is the only change in the method of
selecting a senator from the methods |
of two years ago.

Some discussion is underway local
ly to give up for a year at least the
election of a school superintendent by
the local school commissioners and
allowing the state board of education
to appoint a superintendent. This
would give the town the service of
men acquainted with the educational
ability of superintendent and the
state would then pay the whole of the
superintendent salary instead of a
part of it as at present. Such a
move would allow the town to get
back a little larger proportion of the
money it pays into the state treasury
for educational purposes. 1t would
not necessarily mean a change in SUI
perintendent but would mean less
expense to st. Johnsbury. The idea
seems worthy of consideration.
