These laws Were passed SO quietly that
but few knew anything about them be-
fore they became laws Even members
OF he senate committee on education
knew nothing of them until too late.
Already New York state is in an up
roar over the matter. A great non-par-
tisan state organization to fight for their
repeal is in process of formation.
What has happened in New York can
happen elsewhere. There is no more
TO prevent such legislative action in any
other state than there was in New York,
with the exception that in those states
where the referendum is operative the
people have a final veto power.
1t is evident that an attempt will be
made by the extreme militarists to get
other states to pass similar laws. The
armament crowd sells gun and ammu-
milton every time a child is added to the
school army roll. 1t sells gun and
ammunition every time new man is
brought into the war ranks.
The munitions crowd is busy promot-
ing such legislation as this. 1t delights
in every move toward con.erfption
And this is at time when it is only
by the hardest kind OF fighting that any
advance can be secured for labor in the
way of industrial preparedness.

Labor Statistics Shows a Drift to
Less Hours and Higher Wages

of representative establishments in the
states in which these industries are i'm

ing to approximately $4,000 employees in
the cotton industry, 10000 in the woolen
industry, and 22,0oo in the silk industry

SIDEWALKS ONCE MORE.

To the Editor of the Register;
A very generous offer has been made
on behalf of the College in the matter
of building sidewalks. The offer is
this. The College will pay one half of
the cost of putting down a good cement
walk, extending from the south line of
the Tilden place to the entrance to the
West cemetery, provided the other half
of the cost can be met by private sub
scription. This agreemeet has com
panion piece, viz; that the College
shall bear one half the expense of a
walk running along the east side of
Storr's avenue, and the village trustees
vote an appropriation to care for the
other half of this expense.
Now this walk to the cemetery will be
of no particular benefit to the College.
The proposal to join in building it is
most public spirited and ought to be
promptly accepted. In what other
way can we extend our sidewalk sys-
TEN with so little cost to the taxpayer?
And to do this work may, and should,
lead to something further. 1t ought to
to be made possible to walk, dry shod
from the Halpin place through the
Catholic cemetery and West cemetery
to this proposed new walk.
Professor P. N. SWEET estimates the
cost of walk to the cemetery at $500.
90. and | have been asked to look after
the raising of $4,000 by subscription,
! will be glad to do so. The Register
has kindly consented to publish the
names of all subscribers. Already 81. 90
has been given me. And believe this
it will be far better for two hundred
and fifty people to give one dollar each
than for one person, or ten people to
give the entire amount. Of course, if
a person feels he must give five, or even
ten dollars, it would never do to hurt
his feelings by rejecting so large con-
tribution. A subscription paper is al
ready drawn up.

ANOTHER HONOR FOR FORMER
MIDDLEBURY GIRL.
A. w. DICKENS.
To the Editor of the Register;

To the Editor of the Register;
Jane Grey, the actress in whom Mid
dlebury takes that keen interest at
taching to home folks" out in the
great world, has just met with dis
tinguished honor. She is to play
Miranda in THE Tempest" in the re-
vival of that play which the Drama
League of America is to produce on
Easter Monday as its part of the Shakes
peare Tercentenary. For this reason |
wished to interview the Middlebury
actress.
Eyes, this is Miss Grey" came over
the telephone wire, "and I'll be glad to
talk to you for the Middlebury Register
on Monday at twelve at the Century
Theatre"
So at quarter to twelve the writer
found himself in the Century Lyceum,
the miniature theatre upon the roof of
what was once New York's famous
New Theatre. :" Upon the stage, bare
of all scenery save brick rear-wall,
two rows of steam pipes, and festoon
of sand-bag weights hanging from "the
flies" above, woman and man, the
latter wearing Judge Donoway's
familiar black felt hat and flowing tie,
were going over and over the opening
speeches of the second scene of the first
act of 1.-THE Tempest" The woman
was Jane Grey and the man Louis
Calvert, a well-known English actor
who is directing the coming production
for the Drama League. Over and
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1916-04-14

over the speeches went the two
on the stage until at last the
exact vocal infections were produced.
Then, with a there that's it" Mr..
Calvert turned his attention to some of
the other members of the cast and Miss
Grey left the stage and came down into
the orchestra seats.
$50 you want to know what ! have
been doing lately, quaried Miss Grey
with friendly smile, "well, for the
past two months I've been doing moth
ing except rest after long, hard six
months work in the motion picture
studios out in Los Angeles. Yes went
out there last June and stayed until
January. was sorry to come back
but simply had to have rest. Cali
fornia is such delightful country to live
in and then moving picture work is,
well, rather profitable. While was
there | did some interesting pictures
of which Let Katy Do 1t" and
WAITS" were my favorites.
Then Miss Grey continued, 81 want
you particularly to say for me that in
all my acting there is one point that |
insist on. That is, the play or film must
tell decent story and when it is over
it must not leave nasty taste in the
mouth of the audience. The other sort
of play feel, and feel with the strength
of New England conscience, has no
place on the stage. | for one won t
have anything to do with such a play.
Art and the indecent to my mind can
never go hand in hand.
Then the talk shifted to recent Mid
dlebury happenings to hear about which
Miss Grey was indeed interested and after
that she went on, This part | am now
rehearsing, Miranda in 1.-THE Tempest, F"
! think is the most ambitious piece of
work | have ever done. 1t is infinitely
harder, you know, to read blank verse
lines correctly than any others. Also,
the rythm of "The Tempest" peculiar
to itself and is far from easy to master. "
Hardly had she finished these words
than the black-hatted man, Mr.. Calvert,
beloved forth Miranda" and waving
an arm excitedly beckoned Miss Grey
back on the stage and the interview
was over.

Bennington Banner.

The announcement of Roger W. HUI
burd that he will seek the nomination
for lieutenant governor quickly follows
that of John E. Weeks. This means
that there is to be a sharp contest
for the second place on the ticket.
Speaker Weeks is in slightly the best
Practical position from the fact that he
has been member of the two most
recent legislatures and his acquaintance
is therefore closer up to date. Then,
too, Addison county has had little
representation on the State ticket
in recent years while Lamoile has been
on more times than eff. Mr.. Hulburd
offsets this to some extent by an
nouncing that he does not seek to be
lieutenant governor with a view to
getting the next higher place while
Mr. Weeks is credited whether Justly
we know not-wth desire to become
governor two years hence. Neither of
the two men is at all well-known in
Bennington county, but The Banner
hopes that the canvass will bring them
both down here to get acquainted.
The voters will find them both high
grade men of ability and horse-sense
and be chiefly embarrassed to choose
between two such excellent candidates.

THE HON. SECRETARY OF THE
NAVY.
St. Adams Messenger.

Secretary Daniels of the navy, a
newspaper man and genial sort of a
person, seems to be out of his element
in the position which he holds, as a
sort of King of Uncle Sans "Navee, :"
to use a Pinafore expression. Accord
ing to all accounts he is laundering
around in pretty deep water and he
had better slip into life belt or grab
hold of raft. In assuming the office
he started in to reform things. Port"
and "Starboard, terms known to sea
faring men since Noah ordered the
Ark gang plank pulled in, Daniels
wanted to change to "Haw" and Gee, "
or something like that. This shocked
jack tars greatly and the suggestion
has never been adopted, so far as
learned. Then mixing up messing to
the extent of commanding officers and
ordinary seamen to grub together
was another innovation that the
secretary thought would be real nice
and sociable like. The sailors, how
ever, just hitched up their haring
trousers bit and kicked. No messing
with officers for them. They had
enough of officers when on "dooty,"
as Mr.. Dooly would say. Using war
vessels for bridal ceremonies and a
lot of other romantic ideas, altogether
foreign to the traditions of the navy,
did not increase respect for its head.
Now, according to reports, lot of
high up officers, used to giving orders,
are being "sassed'' and George Harvey,
of the same political faith, is after
Daniels pretty lively. One journal has
this to say of Daniels: "He has done
poor service to the office he holds. The
secretary of the navy who revies his
subordinates opens wide the way for
them to revile him. He shrinks and
soils great Office by his tenure of it. 3"

INCREASING SUBSCRIPTION
PRICE.
DeerGeld Valley Times.

b''iH''A '"''S ih''N'
With its issue of June The Times
will raise its subscription price to Sl.5O
a year instead of Sl,25, the present
price.
This increase has not been made
without due and long consideration of
ways and means whereby the paper
could be published at the old rate, but
to no avail. The printing business has
reached point where raw materials
are costing double and triple the price Of
two years ago and yet prices have not
been advanced as in other lines of bust
ness to cover the advance. There is less
money IN the printing bushes today than
at any time for years, all of which is
due to the increased cost of material.
White paper has gone up 20 per cent
to 80 per cent, some kinds of colored
papers are out of the market entirely,
ink, primers rollers, type, leads,
brass rule and a thousand other
things in the printing of newspaper
have advanced beyond all reason and
the printer stands the increase. The
time has come when it is absolutely
imperative that the yearly subscrip-
ton price must be advanced in order
to carry a proportional part of these
increases. Further advances may ne
cessitate cutting down the size of the
paper and increasing the advertising
rates. The Bennington Banner has al
ready served notice in its editorial
columns that its rates for advertising
will in all probability be advanced July
if no change in the situation occurs
prior to that time.

COMMUNICATIONS.

FRED ROWLEY FOR SHERIFF
TO the Editor of the Register
+. Il, Rowley Of New Haven will be
a candidate for sheriff on the Republi-
can ticket at the September primary
and would be an excellent man to
nominate and elect. Mr.. Rowley has
been a deputy sheriff for many years
longer than any other man on the force
and has done much more work at county
court. Mr., Rowley is an excellent man
to have charge of jury and to serve
papers, and will receive strong support
in Middlebury and other parts OF the
county. He was complimented by
Judge Waterman. who presided at re-
cent term of Addison county court as
a most excellent officer. Mr., Rowley
has been constable, and collector for
New Haven for about l6 years, New
Haven has not had sheriff for about
40 years, since Isaac M. Trip was
elected from that town and then moved
to Middlebury, but it is not on account
Of location that we urge the nomination
of Mr.. Rowley, but because we believe
him to be the best all around man for
the position that we think he is entitled
to the nomination and election at this
time and that he will make most ex-
celent and efficient sheriff of Addison
county. FAIR PLAY

Rutland Herald.

With the announcement elsewhere
in these columns of the candidacy of
Roger w. Hulburd for the republican
nomination for lieutenant governor,
The Herald feels an embarrassment of
riches. By the canons of neighborli-
ness and on the basis of past perform
ances, its choice lies naturally with
Judge j. E. Weeks of Middlebury, but
it would be impossible to overlook Mr..
Hulburd's claims to consideration.
'The gentlemen from Hyde Park
has seen legislative experience. A
member Of the House and Senate, he
held good committee appointments and
represented his constituents faithfully.
AS an orator, his gifts are second to
none in Vermont He has also been
faithful in his party allegiance and SER
vice.
Mr.. Hulburd's nominating speeches,
though touched at times with the caus-
tic of satire, were in the main models of
eloquence, and delegates to important
gatherings will remember their polished
phrases and the round, mellihous.voice in
which they were delivered.
The Lamoille county candidate will
bring to the primaries the prestige of
"spunky Lamoille" and will command
a considerable following in Washington
county and elsewhere, depending
largely on the character of campaign
ing which is developed.
Political students will be curious to
note, also, the effect of two important
candidates, not only from the same
county and town, but from the same
group of party affiliations. The ques-
ton is: Can Senator Page and Mr..
Hulburd both command the suffrages
of their fellow-citizens in numbers suf-
ficient to assure a nomination?
The result will be watched with in
terest and doubtless with admiration.

CRITICISM OF THE BOARD OF
EDUCATION.
Orleans County Monitor.

Most of the criticism of the State
board of education is undeserved. Prob
ably no board ever worked more
conscientiously and unremittingly for
the good of the State and its growing
youth than the present one Perhaps
no board ever worked under greater
difficulties and more trying times, and
as the Monitor sees it, there should be
less hasty editorial criticism and more
willingness to learn and lift.
