Learn to Stop Quickly.
(Rutland Herald. J

The st Iohnsbury Caledonian SAYS:
The list of automobile accidents il some.
thing terrible, but anyway the old junk
never tries to climb tree because a
piece of paper was blowing around in
the road
With all due respect to the flivver ex-
pert of the Caledonian. one is compelled
to observe that it has been done. though
not perhaps so literally as he describes it.
Let the driver of light car, fvver or
otherwise, be suddenly startled. and it
takes nerve and skill to hold the wheel
steady and carry on safely
One might recall the fatal accident in
which an insect suddenly striking a driver
III the eye. caused him to ditch the car
involuntarily: or the case where ashes
from a pipe or cigarette did the same
thing: or any one Of dozen similar cases
where a sudden or startling occurrence
causes the driver to do the unexpected.
The first and last thing every diver
should learn and practice is to disconneet
the power and put on the brake automat.
ioally when any such thing happens,
whether it be by clutch and brake or
planetary gear and brake. or with the
addition Of the emergency brake in either
case
There is no difference between cars in
that fundamental; every one must learn
to stop automatically and the sooner they
do learn the less apt they are to leave the
road and attempt to climb a tree or run
down a well, as the classic has it.

NC WAGE INCREASE CONSIDERED
Howard Elliott Says Railroads Must

WASHINGTON, May 24-The ST.
Ol7000,000 additional revenue which
the railroads are seeking through in
creased freight rates does not take into
account any increase in wages which
the railroad labor board may grant the
100000 railroad employees, Howard Ell

ecutives stated today before the inter-
state commerce commission. Mr.. Ell
hott 5 statement, made at the conclu-
sion Of his prepared statement at the
opening of hearings on railroad $ apph-
cation, was in reply to a question by
$. II. Cowan of the Texas Cattle Grow
ers association. Mr.. Cowan referred
to the proposed wage increase as "one
billion dollars. Events of the next
few months or weeks will determine
whether government ownership of rail
roads will come again despite popular
opinion, DR. Stull of New York warned
the commission, eontending that the Vi
tai thing at present is to establish a
feeling of security in the mind of in

CABINET CHANGES
Changes in Wilson'S Portfolio Recall
Shifts of Other Days.

On account of several changes in
President Wilson'S cabinet during re-
cent months, It has become quite pop
ular for many people to make the
bald assertion that more men have
served in the Wilson cabinet than in
the cabinet of any other President.
There We're considerably more changes
among cabinet officers during the
Roosevelt and Grant administrations
than has been the case thus far during
the Wilson regime.
A total of 90 men served in the cabi-
net of Theodore Roosevelt. That was
the high record in the country S his
tory, During that administration there
were six different secretaries of the
navy; five postmaster generals, three
secretaries of state, three secretaries of
the treasury, three secretaries of war,
three secretaries of commerce and
Tabor, three attorney generals, and two
secretaries of the interior. James Viii
son, secretary of agriculture, was the
only man who served in the Roosevelt
| cabinet during the entire adminlstra-
| tion.
Twenty changes were made dur
| ing Grant s administration, and there
| were only seven cabinet portfolios at
| that time, whereas at present there are
ten. President Grant had five secre
taries of war;. five attorney generals
| four postmasters general, four sece
taries of state, two secretaries of the
| treasury, two secretaries of state, two
secretaries of the navy and three secre
| taries of the interior
| President Tyler had 20 different mer
in his cabinet, and in his time there
were only six departments with cabi
net officers at the head He had five
| secretaries of the navy, four secretariei
of the treasury. three each in the state
war. and attorney general 5 departments
and two postmasters general.
/ With the appointment of a successor
| to Secretary Lansing. a total of 90 mel
| viii have served in the Wilson cabinet
Andrew Jackson came within one d
| having as many members of his officia
family as Tyler and Wilson. He ha,

of the treasury, four secretaries o
of state, three secretaries of war, tire,

masters general and two attorney

Besides being financial founder and
pathfinder, Mr.. Morton became social
power He "evoluted so far from
the village. store as to become sort
of glass of fashion and mold of form
at New York, Washington and New
port. He was the American magnifc
for good many years, but he suffered
nothing in his spiritual integrity for
this service rendered to American So
ciety. 1t must vertically have been
the sturdy New England inheritance
which enabled him to sustain the bur-
dens of the life he had lived up to
an age far past the scriptnral limit of
fourscore, and to die in a sort of fri,
umphant way at last while receiving
messages Of eongratulation on his nine
ty-sixth birthday anniversary
In the field Of politics and finance
Levi p Morton exercised an excellent
influence. His banking firm played q
conspicuous and valuable part in
helping the republic to weather the
fierce gale which attended the resump
ton of specie payments in 1879. The
crime of 1872 signalized by Bryan
and really one of the most notable
acts of economic virtue that the United
States government ever performed
was accomplished largely through his
aid and influence. He was bulwarl
against the soft-money heresy. Fol-
this, his countrymen owe him a worthy
monument New England will claim
him as a typical son.

MONTANA'S SCHOOLS
BEST IN COUNTRY
SO Pronounced BY Russell Sage Foun-
dation-Schools In the East
Are Growing Poorer.

NEW YORK, May 24-The state OF
Montana has the best alaround public
school system in the United States ac-
cording TO the results of comparative
study of state school systems made public
today by the Russell Sage foundation. The
report assigns second place to the schools
of California, third place to those Of Ari-
iona, fourth to New Jersey and fifth to
the state of Washington.
These findings are contained in report
by the department of education of the
foundation. The volume is entitled "An
Index Number for State School Sys-
tens and the author is Dr. Leonard p.
Ayres, director of the foundations de-
partment OF education.
Other findings OF the report are that
the school system Of the United States
as whole has doubled in efficiency
during the last so years, having an index
number or rating of 26 in 1870 and one
Of 81 at the present time. Since these
index numbers are figured on the basis
Of 100, the school system Of the country
has now an effectiveness or efficiency OF
only - percent according to the report.
The figures for the individual states
as given by the foundation show that
during the past 80 years the West has
been coming up educationally while the
East has been going. down. During this
time the greatest increase among all the
states has been made by Utah while the
state to which is attributed the greatest
falling off in relative standing is Mary
land In the East the only state that
has gained instead of losing il New Jersey.
in the West the state that has the best
and most consistently high record is Cali
i0rnia
Vermont stands 32d in the list Of states
with an index number of SIS
Among the interesting results of the
study is the conclusion that the school
systems Of the United States territorial
possessions. such as Hawaii. the Canal
zone, and Porto Rico, have higher ratings
than those Of many Of the As states. That
of Hawaii is reported better than those
Of the majority Of the American states.
Ten Southern states have records poorer
than that of Porto Rico.

second.
The only Presidents who never made
any changes in their original appoint
ments were: William Henry Harrison,
Zachary Taylor. Franklin Pierce and
James A. Garfield. Even George Wash
ington seemed to have considerable diff
iculty in keeping appointees in his cab

of state, three secretaries Of war, three
postmasters general, three attorney
generals and two secretaries of the
treasury. There was no such official as
secretary of navy at that time

A Pretty Good World After All.

This world is a pretty good world, after
all,
Ii you look on the side that is bright
If you measure the blossoms and blessings
that fall,
Instead Of the sneers and spite,
If you let the dead Past bury all its dead
dreams,
If you leave to the Future its norrows
and schemes,
And are not too eager in. seeking for
seams,
rs a pretty good world after all
This world rs a pretty good world, after
II you look on the side that is fair;
If the hopes that have frightened your
days you recall,
And not the defeat and despair.
IL you don't tear the old wounds apart,
il you Jet
With tear drops no longer your lashes
be wet.
And learn, if you cannot forgive, to for
get,
It's a pretty good world, after all.
This world is a pretty good world after
all,
If you look on the side toward the sun,
If instead of lamenting for what you have
lost,
You rej6ite in the good you have won;
If smile you will offer instead of a tear
To the care-burdened creatures who
with you here,
And gladden. the sphere of the souls at
mosphere,
It's pretty good world, after all.
This world is a pretty good world, aftel
all,
IF you look for its best, not its worst
If you note the occasions when virtue ha
blest,
And not when transgresion has curst
If you scatter song or flower as yol
go,
If you root ont the thistles of malic
and woe,
And leave the first stone for the smiles
to throw
It's a pretty good world. after all
