troversy.

Congress has acted in accordance
with Pres. Wilson's instructions to
pass a law making eight hours days
work for trainmen in this country.
The settlement is entirely one-sided
and may not prove a settlement at
all. We wonder when Congress was
given the power to fix the wages Of
employees of a corporation. If it has
that power wages will become at
once a political question and decided
by the number of votes behind the
demand for political plumber. We
shall be surprised if the railroads
submit to this political robbery.

A week from today comes the pri-

enough voting to be done to draw out
the voters if anything can do it.

Thomas H. Cave of Montpelier
seems to be gaining in strength as a
candidate for the state authorship.
He has had practical experience in
the state treasuTer's Office and in
banks and should be we'll qualified for
the auditors work. Some talk has
been passed around that a lawyer is
necessary in that position. We fail
to see why and think it might be
well to let some one besides a law
year hold a state office for a time.

BY the way, Congress did not pass
any legislation allowing the railroads
to increase rates to provide revenue
to pay the 25 per cent increase in pay
to their organized employees. Suppose
the railroads should threaten lock-
out and the tieing up of all transporta-
ton, would you call that fair?

There are two important qualifica-
tons for a successful man in public
life-honesty and common sense. If
a man is honest in the payment of
his taxes, in his business and adver-
Using and in his stand on public
questions the people have confidence
in him He will not betray the peo-
Piles interests while holding a public
office. If in his private business he
transfers his bank stock to escape
taxation, he advertises that all of his
banks money is invested where it is
not, he pays commissions to men in
violation of the law or persists in his
attempts to evade the law after he
has been warned by a state officer to
stop it he certainly is not acting hon
estly and people cannot feel conf
dence in his honesty. If he does
these things in his private business
he does not show good common sense
because the great volume of business
today is done on strictly honest lines.
The tremendous transactions of the
day would be impossible without per-
sonal honesty and responsibility. Po-
litical leadership cannot be acquired
and held without it. Sen. G. S. Page
cannot win the standing and honor
for his state that he could had he
not been tricky in the conduct of his
private business.

Showed Real Craftsmanship.

We note with pleasure that when
the holdup of the House of Repre-
sentatives by the representatives of
the trainmen's brotherhoods, Yer
mont had one man courageous
enough to protest Congressman F.
L. Greene made a strong speech in
the House last Friday. We cannot
give it all (although it was short)
but we reproduce excerpts from it
that we endorse in full. He said:
1T seems to me the only thing that
presents itself here to US today as
men intrusted with the responsibility
of government, and men upon whose
shoulders for the time being-how-
ever unworthy individually We may
be-the self respect and majesty of
this government of ours rests, is
this:-When any man or set of men,
whether they be friends, schoolmates,
fellows, companions, trusted conf
dants, or kinsmen, hold up the Con-
gress of the United States and say
they they shall have certain legisla-
ton passed between this hour and
Saturday night or they will bring ma
tional calamity, bloodshed, suffering,
starvation, misery, and want upon
this land it is time for somebody to
stand up in the United States and
say that the government of the
United States is greater than any
combination of men under it.
But say today, as we stand here
facing this proposition, that the
merits of this dispute are no longer
involved until the Congress of the
United States asserts it's dignity and
majesty and self respect and refuses
to be held up by anybody at any time
under any threat or under duress.
once begun, where is this surrender
ing to end?"
A democratic president and
democratic Congress have simply
sold themselves in the hope of receiv-
ing a few votes from organized labor.
They have disgraced themselves and
their country by doing so and we ad-
mire the courage of Congressman
Greene in telling them so.

Joe Tinker's crew of North Side
Cubs returned to Chicago last night.
With only two scalps out of six in
their belts they are planning on a
real squirt and rush to the top of the
National league when their home
season opens Wednesday,.
Rain stopped Tuesdays game in
St. Louis and gave the Bruins a
chance to get home for a sleep in
real beds instead of on the train. To-
day the whole outfit, weather per-
hitting, will be out getting batting
practice.
Tinker reports that what has been
wrong with his outfit has been lack
of morning practice. THE real race

said. From now on the boys will
get the early day workout. That will
put them on their feet. Then look
out for us.
Right now the whole team is in
good physical condition. Steve

are a bit worried over their Tun-in

II is one Of the disheartening features of
American politics. that the individual voter
will not realize, and utilize the vast power

Instead of examining the candidate on mat

sacred weapon, with which he can protect his
life, his liberty, and his property, the good
natured, easy going American citizen throws
away his franchise, upon some trivial matter
of personal like or dislike, keeping bad men
in office, because they fawn upon him, hatter
him cater to his prejudces, and pretend in
general way to be devoted to his interests.

NECESSARY EQUIPMENT

Many people believe that in order
to succeed by the cold-pack method
of canning it is necessary to buy ex-
pensive commercial canning outfits.
This is not true. Wash boilers, lard
cans or other vessels with a tight
tight cover and which can be fitted
with a false bottom can be success
fully used in the canning of fruit,
vegetable, soup or meat. The only
advantage of commercial Gamers
over homemade devices is the saving
OF labor and time their use makes
possible.
