Industrial Courts.

As long ago as 1906 France created
Industrial courts, and the example has
been followed by Germany, Switzer-
land, Italy and Belgium. A president,
who represents the public, and an
equal number Of workers and employ
ers sit as jury rather than as a
court. Lawyers are barred. The par
ties to the dispute take turns relating
grievance and defense, and in conse-
quence of this simplicity 80 per cent
Of the cases are adjusted without
formal hearings. In event Of threat
ened strikes or lockouts the courts
have the power to sit as boards of ar
bitration, and it is only in rare cases
that satisfactory agreements are not
reached.
Compare the simplicity of this pro-
cedure with the American method of
frequent trials, frequent appeals, re-
versed decisions, remanded cases,
court costs, lawyers fees and months
Of delay gantlet that no poor man
dares to run. The dollar out of which
an alien is cheated may mean to him
the difference between bed or a park
bench, and certainly his sense of in
justice will not inspire him with re-
spect for democratic institutions

Red Sox Close Season

The local fans have been continually
asking the Red Sox manager to get some
teams here that could be considered as
being in the class with the locals. Several
nearby teams have made offers to come
here but we feel that the public is en-
| titled to their moneys worth so they
have refused to play the minor teams.
Through great effort and big guarantees
two of the best teams of the state have
been secured to come here.
The first game will be played here
Monday evening, March ~, against a
fraternity team that "Beany' Parker
brings from MiddIebury. They have
been playing all through southern Vel-
mont and have established a record equal
to that of st. Michael, although they
nave been unable to arrange games with
the amateur champions of Vermont (St.
Michaels). "Beany' guarantees good,
fast, clean game and says if the Red Sox
defeat them it will be the first team that
has had that honor. For further particu-
lars see posters and flyers.
Tie second game, the last game of the
season, will be played here Friday even
ing, March 81, against the professional
champions of Vermont, Co. L of New
port. They have been defeated only once
out of nine games this season, that at
Woodsville, N. Fl. Newport defeated us
by six points on their floor and are CON-
ing hero with reinforced army of
pros, expecting to carry off another
victory as easy as their others have been.
But our army will also be reinforced
with the best men we are able to procure.
We are after victory from the cham
pions and if We don't get it we will die
hghting for it. MGR. OF RED SoX.

Jefferson's Letter.

A few lines written by Jefferson to 6
friend in a foreign country ruined the
warm friendship which had existed be
tween him and Washington. The let
ter is known historically as Jefferson
letter.
Jefferson sent letter to Philip MAJ
zei, an Italian, in April, 1906. Maize
published an Italian translation of il
in Florence the next year. 1t was re
translated into French and published
in French newspapers, from which il
found its way into the British papers
and to America.
In this letter jefferson opposed the
Jay treaty and commented freely
against Washington and his admins
tration as Anglican, monarchical and
aristocratic. This letter destroyed
Washington's faith in jefferson.

THEY DID AND
SURE THEY DIDN'T

We said they did, but they didn't. We
mean those Georgia exhibit cars that
were to have been here Friday. A grape
vine telegram was responsible for our
biunder, besides several times during
the day we tried to phone the railway
station, but over the wire came the
sweet and fragrant refrain line is
busy" We are told that the reason
why the cars did not reach here as
scheduled was because they were held
up at Dawson through a misunder-
standing. Because of this the sched-
ules had to be somewhat re-arranged,
so that now the cars are expected to
arrive over the Seaboard Air Line rail-
road some time today.

AMERICUS LOST IN
ATHLETIC EVENTS.
WITH Al BANY CREW.

The athletic events at the Y. NJ. C. A.
Friday were the best yet held in the
local gymnasium. And the fact that
the Americas lads lost the count,
should not discourage them in the least
degree, because their work was far
above the average, and they are to be
complimented on the wonderful fight
they put up in several of the big con-
tests. Americas, as was expected
from the advance dope, succeeded in
capturing the mat-events. The work
OF the locals in this particular branch
v as brilliant. The next event sched-
uled was the tug-o.-war. Americas
.o2ce more put the Albanians to rout
and the contest seemed destined to be
won by the local juniors. Albany, how
ever, settled down to business at this
stage of the carnival and in quick sue
cession won three big races-the relay
race, medicine ball race and two pen
runs.
In the basketball game, more inter
est was shown than in any other event.
and the Americas boys made a very
good showing. The final score was p
to 10 in Albany's favor. But the local
lads made them fight hard for the vic
tory

wrestler of the Americas aggregation,

export was appointed to take his
place. This boy had never practiced
and his display of skill was wonderful.
His opponent had thrown everything
around Albany, and James vas not ac-
corded much hope of holding his heav-
Ter and more experienced opponent.
After two falls, the judges announced
that the contest was draw. James
secured the first fall and his opponent,
Louis Camp, succeeded in pinning Dav-
exports shoulders in the second.
1t is hoped that another contest can
be arranged between the two associa-
tons in order to play off the tie now
existing. In the four contests already
held Americas has won two and Albany.

owners to oil the streets in
front of their residences for the pur-
pose of laying the dust 1t is said
that about two applications of oil to
be used per year will be all that will
he necessary to lay the dust, and that
property owners so far approached on
the SUI ject are heartily in favor of the
idea 1t is approximately figured out
that the cost to each property owner
would be about Sc or 81 per year, pro
vided all the Lee street citizens would
agree to pay their part in the oiling
OF the thoroughfare. Lee street citi-
zens will be the first to be canvassed,
it is understood, and, perhaps, other
streets will be canvassed in the same
way.

The I. D. C. essay contest was held
this month, and the subject, Recon

entire state. Some of the Americas
papers were splendid and showed hard
study
There were 125 contestants here,
and all papers were written in the pres
cree of teachers during school hours.
After the essays were submitted to
the teachers they selected the six best
from each school and sent these to the
committee composed of Mrs e. L. Cars

the twelve papers and selected the one

which was the best of these two.
