VERMONT SCHOOL SYSTEM.
Rutland News.

kutanu NtWs.
1t is pointed out that the largest
salary paid to any State official IN
Vermont $4,000 a year-very properly
goes to its commissioner of education,
Milo B. Hillegas. His work is of the
highest Importance, for upon it rests to
a large degree the quality of the citizen
ship of tomorrow.
The department of education, under
the quickening influence of Mr.. Hillegas,
is going to bring about new Vermont
in this most important of all State de-
partments. That is evident to all who
have listened to the addresses OF the
commissioner or who have read synopses
of his talks in various parts of the State.
Commissioner Hillegas commends HIM
self to progressive people by reason OF
his modernity of ideas, and he has already
given ample evidence that he is the man

INJURED BY VICIOUS BULL.

Daniel S. Moulton, well known
farmer, aged about 60, living at Mos
cow about two miles from Stowe, suf-
fered the fracture of both bones in one
leg Just above the ankle, when crowded
against his barn recently by a bull
He was leading the animal to water,
guiding him with a stick. His atten-
ton was momentarily diverted, and it
is thought the animal took advantage
of this and brushed Mr.. Moulton
against the side of the barn. He was
knocked down and it is supposed the
bull stepped upon him, although the
affair occurred so quickly that Mr..
Moulton was too confused to re-
member.

WILBUR S. HOLCOMB.

Wilbur S. Holcomb, a prominent
farmer, died Sunday morning at his
home in West Addison from the
effects of shock suffered Saturday
evening. He had been confined to his

THE CHAPLAIN AND THE POLL
TICIAN.
Rutland Herald.
The Bradford Opinion says;

less distinct, that President Thomas
was asked to resign as chaplain of the
First Vermont. Very few would be-
lieve such rumor, but Col, Reeves,
president of Norwich university, has
done real service to the State in stat
ing positively that there is no basis of
fact for the rumor The pleasant
things Col. Reeves says of President
Thomas ring true to those who know
the quality of service Middlebury' 8
president gives to public affairs.
This is true so far as it refers to the
high quality of the service rendered
by DR.. Thomas, and the Herald could
add nothing to the high econiums al
ready pronounced on his work. There
is another side to the question, how
ever, which has not yet seen the light
of Vermont publicity, and that is the
attempt of Wilson administration poll
ticians to interfere with the chaplain S
right to freedom of speech.
With the regiment slated for an
early home coming and the opening of
Middebury College demanding the
presence and oversight of its president,
it is perhaps true that no other
motive was needed for his resignation,
but another motive was gratuitously
provided by the war department,
headed by the Mr.. Baker who once OBJ
served that there was no material diff
ference between Villas brigands and
the ragged continentas of Valley
Forge,
President Thomas himself refers to
the incident in an article published in
the Independent, with which is now
consolidated Harper's Weekly. He
says:
| learned that a keen watch is kept
on all public utterances even of mil
tia chaplain. wrote letter to the
home people which was published in a
little country newspaper, IN which |
said that Texans of the border seemed
to have the same high respect for Pres
ident Wilson's Mexican policy that
Green Mountain republicans had. 1t

to account and informed that as an
army officer | had no right to make
anv such observations. 1t seemed that
United States senator had noticed
nv little letter and called on the war
department to silence me, which they
did. Such limitations may be neces-
sary to military dicipline, but if this
country wants strong men as chaplain $
in its army, men of the resolute per-
sonal independence sufficient to exert
influence over soldiers, some way must
be found to give them a little more
freedom of speech.
This is the same war department, so
bound around and wrapped up In bu-
reaucratic red tape that the Vermont
regiment had difficulty in getting
shoes and socks for its soldiers, yet
apparently it had time to maintain a
department of censorship and was per
fectly able to threaten chaplain with
military discipline if he even dared to
hint at the need of better brains for the
Mexican problem.
The incident is small fish and few in
catch, but Vermonters who may
cherish some high remembrance of

superlative admiration the attempt of
Newton D. Baker to silence John NJ.

for silence was voiced by an exalted
patriot of the u. S. Senate.

Matthew 5:13- 20.

Ye are the salt of the earth: but If
the salt have lost his SAVIOUR, where
with shall it be salted? it is thence
forth good for nothing, but to be cast
out. and to be trodden under foot of
men.
Ye are the light of the world. A
city that is set on an hill cannot be
hid.
Neither do men light a candle, and
put it under a bushel, but on a can
dlestick; and it giveth light unto all
that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men
that they may see your good works
and glorify your Father which is in
heaven.
Think not that I am come to de
stroy the law, or the prophets; I am
not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
For verify I say unto you, Til
heaven and earth pass, one jot or one
title shall in no wise pass from the
law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break
one of these least commandments
and shall teach men so, he shall be
called the least in the kingdom OF
heaven: but whosoever shall do and
teach them, the same shall be called
great in the kingdom of heaven.
For | say unto you, That except
your righteousness shall exceed the
righteousness of the scribes and Phar
isees. ye shall in no case enter into
