ing two fast games of baseball to be
played at Cambridge, Monday, July
5th, this morning signed Smoke"
Rogers, of Baltimore, who has been
pitching this season in the Blue

No trouble or expense has been
spared in making next Mondays

worth by attending in large numbers,
and at the same time show their ap-
probation of having such fast ball
brought to Cambridge without pass

ing out subscription lists as is done
in other towns. The first game next

East Side Political Rumors.

Passing through Montpelier" we
hear it intimated that the "east side
is to launch new candidate for the
governorship in the very near future
who will give Mason Stone a formid
able battle, that is. of course, if Mr..
Stone is really in the field, no anthem
tic statement to that end having ema-
mated from him mp to this time.
We also heard it limited that proyid-
ing our representation in Congress is
not changed by the census John w.
Gordon Of Barre will seriously consider
tossing his hat into the arena against
Congressman Dale or any other aspir-
ants that may develop.
This, Of course, is but semi-oflicial,
as it has not yet appeared in the bible
of "east side" politics, the Mortified
News, but possibly we have gained a
lap on the genial deacon while he is
busy trying to clear up the great mass
of job printing that filters his shop.
That even more portentous events
may impend is suggested by the mys
terious smile Lynn Hays 10 carrying
around with him. We doubt not that
the big show at Chicago may be trans
cended in interest by home happenings
in the next few months.

no doubt, appreciates more fully just
now the definite place that the news

The experience of that city was not
unlike that in Seattle during the gem
eral strike which made Mayor Ole Han

pend publication, and as result a
yeritable reign of terror existed, owing
to widespread rumors of an alarmst

If we accept Mayor Hanson's asser-
tions, was due to the rock ribbed Amer
icanism of the one paper that managed
to get out daily edition and which gave
wide publicity not only to the true
state of affairs, but also the promised
course of the mayor in determining to
go ahead and operate all public utilities
regardless Of the attitude Of the strik-
ers.
The newspaper finds fullest apprecia-
ton, perhaps. when some situation
arises that temporarily interferes with
its publication and in communities
which have gone "newspaperless" for
one reason or another the full value of
the newspaper finds quick recognition.
Our security to-day rests almost as
much upon the newspapers of the ma
ton as it does upon its army and navy.

$4,000 More Year for Rutland
Teachers,

Vermont Teachers association are max,

would do credit to any cause. The prop
uganda put out by the pedagogues is Of
a persistent and yet quite persuadinq
nature. The current circular distributed
makes reference to large increases CIV
en- to the teachers in Illinois, Michigan,
New York and half dozen other
states.
The most practical suggestion thus
far noted comes from Governor Calvin
Coolidge of Massachusetts,, who has APP
pointed a special committee. headed by
the state commissioner of education, to
make detailed study of salary condi-
tions, with view to arriving at some
Standardization of salaries TO prevent

minded, thinks the laborer is worthy

recognizes that under present condi-

also recognizes that the increased bill
must be paid by himself.

student of national politics could prop
erly regard the coming election as a
foregone conclusion Of victory for the
Republicans, no matter who the candi-
date might be.
y A party with the White House and
cabinet in its possession, with the dis
tribution of patronage running through
two terms and the usual federal and
state machines pretty thoroughly or
ganized on the good old reliable"
spoils basis, is no mean antagonist un-
der any conditions. There are evil
dences, too, that certain subterranean
forces are at work for the Wilson
treaty plans which, if the latter be-
come an issue at the polls, will be pre-
pared TO take an important and strong
~ financed interest in the election.
Cocksureness and over confidence are
uniustifable under any condition, SO
the advent Of Hoover should not need
lessly disturb Republican plans; nei-
ther should it be regarded as unimpor-
tant. There is nothing settled about
any candidate for either party as yet,
so The Herald's best advice is to sit
tight and await developments.
Furthermore, the final disposition of
the treaty covenant and other matters
pending in Congress may change the
political aspect of the couatry over
night. 1t is a good time for Republi-
cans, particularly, to keep their hearts

The Value Of Newspapers.

account of the action taken by Cana

ply them further, that they might reap
larger profits by selling their product in
the United States. That large and mod
ern city, as result, was without any
sources of news for several days, and
the net result seems to instance the
vastly important place that the news
paper holds in community life at this
time.

This is the question which industrial

/ for the living wage which the farmer
receives2 We doubt it,
Why have food prices gone up? The
continual raising of wages, strikes
and demands for more money and
shorter working hours, less production
which added to higher wages for that
production, mean increased costs of the
manufactured product, all help to boost
the cost Of living still higher. And the
farmer is not independent of the world,
as many people seem to think. The
farmer and his family have to have
shoes and clothes, farming tools, furni-
ture and many other things which have
to be bought in the open market. He
has to buy much of the grain which he
feeds to his stock, and he is not any
more independent Of prices than is the
industrial laborer. Without figuring in
the value of his labor, he must raise
the price of the products which he sells
in order to get enough to live.
And what If the farmer should strike
for higher wages and shorter hours
What if he should insist on So for an
eight-hour day, a five-day week, and
time and half for overtimeY What
if this should happen and your baby
should be left without milk, your fam
lily without food, because the farmers
had refused to produce until they got
what they wantedg Did you ever
think of thisY And has not the farmer
as much right to hold up production as
others, If he does not feel that the
world is treating him property
If every industrial worker in this
country could be made to understand
that every time he strikes and holds
up production, he automatically raises
the price of the loaf of bread which
goes on his own table would he not
think several times before he walked
out from his work? OF course. there /

Sit Tight.

The Manchester IN. H. Union
speaking as a Republican newspaper
"welcomes with delight" the prospect
of the nomination of Hoover by the
Democrats, and gives its reasons there
for as follows:
Every supporter OF Leonard Wood
will hail the entrance of Hoover as a
Democratic possibility with gratified
relief. The most serious and threat
ening obstacle in the path of success
Of the Wood campaign is the prevalent
disposition, especially among politi-
clans, to assume that the election is
as good as over; that the Republicans
could nominate whom they please and
the people, regardless OF the candidate,
would turn the Democrats out and put
the Republicans in. 1t is this feeling,
coupled with a desire on the part of
certain political leaders TO have in the
White House a Republican who win be
certainly and surely amenable to party
demands, that explains the under.
ground effort which il being made
throughout the country to prevent a
majority of the delegates coming to
Chicago pledged in advance to any man,
a man like Wood, who
has reputation for independent think
ing and independent action. The poll
ticians want a chance TO 'dicker' They
want to deliver delegates They want
to establish claims for patronage in
the future"
So far as The Herald has observed,
no shrieks Of delight have gone up from
the Republican camps at the prospect
81 Hoover's being the choice OF the
Democrats, although there is much
force in what the Union intimates
about the cocksureness of Republicans

The action of large majority of the
merchants of Barre in deciding to close
their stores on Monday evenings, be-
ginning next Monday, Feb. 2, is in line
with movement throughout the mer-
camille world, as well as in other lines
to reduce the hours whenever possible.
For long time the stores of Barre
have been keeping open two nights of
the week, Monday and Saturday: but
it is now felt that one of these nights
can be eliminated without proving a
hardship to the purchasers, and with a
distinct advantage to the merchants
and their clerks alike. So it was de-
cided to close the stores on Monday
evening, leaving Saturday evening as
an open night because of the un-
usual demands that night for purchase
of articles for Sunday. The public ac-
customed to trading in these stores win
be able to adjust itself to the new ar
rangement, and will also be ready to-
cooperate in increasing the leisure
hours of the people connected with the
stores.
