Expensive Wood.
Waterbury, Record.

Montrclcr'- municipal wood yard is
attracting attention throughout New
England. The fact that the CAPITAL
city owns its own wood land, is quite
a factor in solving the fuel problem.
According to some figures given ont,
the cost of cutting the wood into four.
foot measure is placed at $500 per cord
and drawing at $500, which to "coun-
try folks il rather expensive. Some
experts have figured it out that the
heat units in cord Of four.foot wood
compared with ton of coal is less
than onc-third. In other words, coal
ut $40 per ton, is cheaper to use for
fuel than coid wood at $500 per cord.
TO pay $500 per cord for cutting four
foot wood is II fabulous price. The

REV. F. II. COLE TO LEAVE.
Appointed to immigration Service at
st. Adams. Vermont.

Rev. Frederick II. Cole, pastor OF the
Cnivcrsaist church, resigned his pas
toratc Wednesday on receipt Of notifico-
ticn from Washington that he had been
appointed to the immigration service
at St. Adams, VI. He will take up his
new duties the first of next week. Rev.
Mr. Cole had an application on file, but
lie had no notice that he was to be ap.
pointed until tho notice came.
Rev. Mr.. Cole came to the passionate
here from Derby Line, VT, over five
wears ago, and he has been very en-
crgetic and valued resident, taking part
in many activities besides those cspc-
cially connected with his parish. Last
August he received an appointment to
tie immigration service at Ellis Island
and went to New York, but very soon
returned, as the position there was not
to his liking, and resumed his pastoral
work. As on the former occasion, his
leaving will be regretted by the towns
people.

for the capitalist, the laborer, and
for the people"
But Congress shirks its plain
duty. Apparently it does not even
recognize that duty exists.
1t could regulate big business, it
could regulate the brotherhoods and
other organizations, it could fix
maximum and minimum prices if it
would.
But it don't. 1t simply shoots
hot air and hits nothing, and never
intends to hit anything.
1t encourages the existing condi-
tions by its refusal to regulate.
The favored ones win out and the
people pay-as they have always
done.
One side or the other must give
in, and since neither is willing to
pay the freight, the helpless people
perforce must do the paying. And
they do.
And it will always be so until
the people wake up to the fact that
they are the masters and not the
servants.

UNDER CIVIL SERVICE

President Wilson has removed
from politics 1927 postmasters
of the first, second and third
classes. In a blanket executive
order he directed that these postal
appointments in the future be made
in accordance with the fitness and
qualifications of the applicants, to
be determined by a civil service
examination and not on the recon-
mendation of members of Congress.
As a result of President Wilson's
order, practically the entire post
Office machinery is now under the
civil service. The general impress
sion that the first and second and
third class postmasters, as the re-
suit of this executive order, have a
lifelong grip on their positions is
correct. 1t was explained by Post
Office Department officials that in
cumbent postmasteTs who have no
records of efficiency may be in
structed to resign and their places
filed by men who are known to be
qualified to handle the postal bust
ness under the civil service rules
to be made later. In this connec-
tion it was said that most of the
present postmasters have records
Of efficiency and will not be dis
turbed, but there are some post
masters who have not handled their
offices satisfactorily to the depart
ment and they will be removed un-
less their work shows improvement.

ITO HE'LL WITH THE PEOPLE"

We are not mincing words in this
article, but are stating facts ex-
actly as we see them, without fear
or favor.
"To hell with the people," seems
to be about the attitude of both
labor and capital. And, being of
the people ourself, we object.
By the skin of our teeth we have
just missed a disastrous railroad
strike-missed it because the rail
roads themselves bowed to the de-
mands of the brotherhoods as the
country totters on the brink of
actual war.
The railroad executives declared
they would fight to a finish before
they would surrender to the de-
mands of the brotherhoods. In
turn the brotherhood chiefs swore
they would paralyze the railroads
of the country in order to win
their point.
In vain did the press and people
of the country urge mediation, com
promise, postponement, anything to
avoid the calamity of a strike.
But the pleadings of the people,
the prospect of untold suffering,
even the national danger itself fell
upon deaf ears.
1t was a case of "to hell with the
people," with both sides joining in
the chorus.
But when the emissaries of the
president of the United States dis
closed the national peril to the con-
testants, the railroad presidents
threw up their hands and granted
the demands of the brotherhoods,
granted them because they knew the
government would seize and operate
the roads if they did not grant them.
1t will cost the roads approx
mately $100,00O,000 a year, but
this will not come out of the pockets
of the railroad corporations. No
indeed! The people themselves will
pay the freight in the shape Of in
creased charges on their freight.
We are not ehampioning the cause
of the railroads, nor are we plead
ing the cause Of the brotherhoods,
but We ARE asking for justice for
the people, for those who foot the
$1OO,9OO,OOO, bill. But where that
justice, is coming from we don't
know.
Every where we turn it seems TO
be just a plain case Of "to hell
with the people"
Capital disregards them, labor
disregards them, and even Congress
disregards them-after the vote is
east.
Prices are mounting up by leaps
and bounds. Living conditions are
becoming intolerable, and no one
seems able to cali halt.
We have a Congress which is
sent to Washington to make laws
that will insure just and equitable
treatment for all Of our people
