Tonight is Halloween or the eve of
All Saints day, day which had its
origin back in the seventh century as
a day of commemoration in honor of
all saints. Halloween, however, has
nothing churchly about it, but is one of
the gayest evenings of the year and
devoted mostly to sports and practical
Jokes. Even though old H. c. L. has

An Opportunity Room.
(Rarton Monitor

A feature new to this paper is being
tried out in the North Troy schools, in
the way of an opportunity room In
this room pupils who find it easy tc
keep ahead of their work, may go
there advance as rapidly as possible
and. when ready, enter the grade next
higher Likewise pupil who finds his
work too difficult, or finds certain sub
iects are holding him back, may get
special help in the Opportunity
room. The plan appears to be one oil
great merit and the working out of the
theory will be watched with much in
tcrest.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.


One hears a great deal about the an
tagonism of capital and labor, as
though they were separate and antag
onistic things in themselves. This is
erroneous as they really are the same
thing. Capital is an accumulated prod
uct of labor possessed in a very large
degree by labor itself Both are con
structive forces in industrial and mer-
camille enterprises. Capital to pur,
chase the raw material, pay the labor
and carry the finished product to the
con sumer is just as necessary as the la
Dor expended upon all manufactured
products. Capital cannot be employed
in industry without compensation any
more than labor. Reasonable pay alone
makes life possible to each. Capital
and labor as articles are not antagonis-
tic to each other. On the contrary
they cooperate with each other, depend
upon each other and thrive or perish
with each other. There is too much an
tagonism between the managers of cop
ital and the managers of labor but not
between capital and labor themselves.
| The antagonism between the mana
gers of capital and labor is less than
generally supposed because they are
more identified with each other than is
generally understood. In Vermont, we

is over $l00,0OO,000 of Vermont CAPT

Vermonters. A very large proportion
of these depositors are laborers in one
industry or another, also capitalists.
Every one of them has deposited his
money in the bank that it may carr
him an income. 1t can earn no income

that such a plan would practically solve
the difficulty with which the tax collec-

There is still a considerable feeling
locally that allowing discounts for tax
es paid within a certain date is bad
plan, but the discount system would
not have to be adopted. The last SEES
