Between the Two Extremes.
Randolph Herald.)

Vermont Congregationalists, at their
recent annual conference in Brattleboro,
took a stand in favor of SO modifying
the state law relating to Sunday observ-
ance as to remove the ban from such
forms of recreation as do not infringe
on the right of all to a quiet day of rest
and worship, but opposing commercial
lied sports. This matter should receive
the earnest attention of the next legis-
lature. The position of the largest Prot
estant church body in the state is sig
nificant. 1t means a movement toward
Sunday regulation that can be supported
and enforced, which the present law can
not be. The ground taken is liberia
enough for those who do not subscribe tt
the Puritanic Sabbath and conservativ,
enough to suit those who want to pre-
serve it primarily as a day of religious
observance, or at least don't want i
made a common workday or a mer,
weekly festival. We believe the major
ity of people would pitch their tents oil
this middle camping ground between tn
two extremes.

Spelling books have been dropped by
the Philadelphia public schools because
they start with "cat' and "rat" and
include so many words seldom used in
correspondence and business, and until
book has been compiled which meets
their idea of what a spelling book
should be teachers will use their own
list of words. Knowing how to spell
"cat-" and "rat" might help in such
words as catalogue and "ratify,"
but most modern correspondence could
get along without an intimate acquaint-

choue, gallinaceous, "kaleide-

SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1920.
ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.

The first Republican controlled con
gress since 1912 finishes its sessions
this afternoon. 1t was believed MANY
beneficial things would be accomplished
when the Republicans got congress back
in their conrtol. Some good things
have been done and many remain un-
finished.
Probably the greatest accomplish
mont Of this congress is the passage of
the railroad bill, allowing for the re
turn of the railroads to private owners
This act stopped tremendous loss to
the government and provided for the
financing of the great private trans
portation properties The act was con-
structive as well as economical An
other constructive act was the increase
of pay for postal employees which will
save the postal service of the country
from further Generalization 1t de-
stroys forever Postmaster General Burl-
eson's surplus in the mail service
but will ensure better service. The
cutting OF the estimates for the next
fiscal year over billion dollars is a
further credit to congress.
This congress also passed the army
reorganization bill which will reduce
the expenses Of the war depal 'ncn1
but gives the country a larger army
than it needs for police duties and not
large enough for any military activity
The passage of a budget bill was
also an act freighted with great pos
sibilities if it gets by the President ::
veto. To prevent duplication of ap
preparation and unregulated estimates
of government expenses will be grea
advance in government economy
Other creditable performances of thi
congress are largely of negative ma
ture and the greatest of these perhap
is the failure to en.ct soldier bonu
law. The treasury is safe from thi
tremendous raid probably for consid
cradle time as there will be less biddin
for votes for TIL. next two years.
This congress has failed to brin
peace, to define the country's foreig
! relations, to provide sufficient revenue
J for the conduct of the government
to provide military training or
enact any constructive industrial law
outside of passing the water pow'
? bill. This is a great volume of una
, complished tasks of pressing necessit
