GLENDALE GREYS TO
 PLAY HERE TODAY

GLENDALE. March 5.-The Glen dale Greys again will cross bats, with the Phoenix Senators at Eastlake park Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. In the contest last Sunday the Greys emerged .victors by the close score of 5 to 8. Timely hitting, coupled with superb fielding and the steady pitch ing of Terrill, turned the tide of battle in favor of the Greys. The Senators, stung by the defeat. immediately scheduled another game with the hope of evening up the score.
 Manager Benz has given the boys a good workout this week and they are in the pink of condition. The game Sunday should be one of the best of the coming season.

THINGS ARE NOT so BAD.

The weeks cartoons shown by the lat
est Literary Digest are depressing.
Gloom seems to fill the world. A hor-
ribIe giant named War is driving tiny
prisoner laden down with arms. Il al
ways capture this one" he says. His
name is Taxpayer. Disarmament is
shown as a snail, starting to crawl
around the world. The Movement is
Under Way is the line. \ chart of
great navies adds indigo to the spirit.
Uncle Sam and Japan are chasing each
other around a tree, each believing him
self pursued, each yelling, Il darent
stop" Uncle Sam is being squeezed by a
gigantic mailed fist called Cost of
War"
The prohibitionist points with pride"
to a prohibition dam which is but a belt
of planking, beneath which flows a
steady stream. An energetic but tiny
Hedging is pulling at a worm whose loops
above the surface bear such labels as
Home-brew, COntraband Liquor, Bootleg
Whisky, etc. There are more than a
dozen loops, each reinforced by one I'M
derground. It's a Long Worm" is the
sad title. Then there is the tree of Ger
man propaganda, cut down by the war,
from which a vigorous second growth is
sprouting. There is a gas barrage of
German propaganda for sympathy strik-
ing the United States. The others are
no more cheerful. One gets a miserable
feeling that everything is bad as one
turns the pages.
Then comes the surprise. Glad It'd
ings of Great Joy" is the caption of the
article which says the Hoover Child
Feeding Fund has been raised in its en-
tirety. The children are guaranteed
their one meal day until the next har-
vest. The great thing is accomplished.
''rhree and half millions of pairs of
little arms are stretched out to us across
the sea, not in piteous pleading, but in
the passionate gratitude of childhood"
Things aren't so bad. Gods in His
heaven. All isn't quite right with the
world yet, but some of it is! How about
a dollar or two for China?

The Dereat of the Teacher Training Bill.
Tp-rra Times \

The overwhelming defeat of the teacher
college bill in the Vermont house AFTER
the measure had passed the senate o[
good-siZed majority means, IN all proDa-
bility. that the present system OF trdlili ~
teachers in Vermont will be continued Tor
another period of two years and that, III
turn. means that Vermont Will not secure
all the teachers of required standard
which the schools of the state need III Is
probable that the majority IN the senate
would block the opposing majority IN the
house so that the session viii emu Win
the age-long controversy still unsettled
and with Vermont the victim of prejudice,
prejudice developed to deadenng degree
lit is this sort of prejudice whIc ms nold-
ing Vermont back from the progress WhGh
i her right. We are harming the state by
failure to look at some of the great prop
lens from a broad viewpoint We do
not mean to say that there Is not merit
on both sides of the controversy, Tor there
undoubtedly are good points to be brought
up in favor of each contention; but there
*. we believe marked preponderance OF
merit in favor of the plan which proposed
To establish a state teachers college, con-
tinue and enlarge the present system OF
teacher training in secondary schools ana
conduct summer schools Tor the dement, ol
teachers already in the profession, In con
tradistinction to the policy OF sending
more of the states good money into two
normal schools which failed to demon
strate their worth to the state.
1t is probable, however, that the state
will not revive the mistake of appropriate |
ing money for the two normal schools at
Johnson and Castleton, the sponsors OF
which furnished the chief opposition to the
policy of state teachers college as out |
lined by the state board of education.
These later, led by Representative Stearns !
of Johnson, carried their point in defeat |
ing the state board of education's plan, I
but they probably could not convince
enough members of the senate, and per-
haps not of the house, to induce the state /
to continue bad investment If, as 1T i
seems likely, the state is to stanaon its 4
present platform regarding the training
of teachers it will be necessary to develop /
and strengthen the teacher training |
courses in the high schools and academies
Of the state which, by the judgment of
those in position to know, are doing good
work in preparing teachers for the rural /
and elementary schools of the state. We
ought to sink our prejudice and unite for
the time-being at least on a policy of
developing these teacher-makers.

cent to its depositors Such a law would
result in forcing the banks 10 make up
their surplus in a manner which is dis
approved by every accountancy expert,
and would do this solely for the purpose
of beating down the rate of interest which
the banks are now allowed to pay to the
people.
The feature of this bill that will con-
denim it for all fair-minded lawmakers lies
in the fact that it attempts to accomplish
this result aimed at in an undetermined
way. 1t does not set out openly to repeal
section 1886, which now forces the banks
TO include their accrued interest in sur
plus. Ii does not even strike out the
words accrued interest as they apnear
IN that section. What it does do is to
change the wording of this section so that
It viii not join and govern the latter sec
ton which authorizes a bank having a 10
per cent surplus fund to pay more than
four per cent interest if it so desires.
This is the kind of legislation that ought
to have disappeared before the march of
civilization

The Sugar Season.
{ Burlington Nv J


II reports from Brattleboro are to be
believed, the predicted early maple
sugar season has arrived in the southern
part of the state and soon similar re-
ports OF runs will be received from all
over Vermont. This years crop, in spite
of the earliness of the season will fall
far below last years according to know
ing observers, who claim tn the total
receipts this year will be less than half
of those of last year
While, not protesting to be on expert
on maple sugar weather conditions. the
News nevertheless is of the opinion
that there is just ground for the belief
that this years output of sugar will be
small i'll the fact that there has been
but very little of what is known as good
weather. The warm, sunny days and
the cold nights which are generally con
coded to be a necessary adjunct to a
good sap run, have been noticeably miss
ing this year. Then too, the price of
sugar has dropped which will be another
reason for a small output. The season
on the whole doesn't promise much in
the way of large profits for the Vermont
= makers

"Bluffing" the Legislature.
burlington Free Press.

If members of the Vermont legislature
can be made to understand the real effect
Of house bill 25S there can be no question
about the fate of this insidious measure.
The effect of house bill 2JS will be TO
prevent certain banks which now are
legally paying their depositors at the rate
of four and a half per cent interest from
doing so in the future. If the legislature
can be made TO understands that one fact,
the bill cannot pass.
The trouble with the whole matter is
that house bill 25S is drawn with such
cunning that the committee on banking
and insurance and many members of the
house were assured that it would have no
such effect. In fact. it was impossible for
the opponents of this bill to expose its
true meaning until after it had been read
twice in the house, and then had been
held up and laid on the table at the re-
quest of Representative Bailey of Col
chester.
At a subsequent hearing an examination
of the bank commissioner brought out the
true effect of the BILL The commissioner
stated that the effect of this bill, if en-
acted into law, would be TO change the
law of Vermont so that in deciding how
much interest they could pay to deposit
Ors banks would be forced to exclude their
accrued interest in estimating whether or
not they had the 10 per cent surplus,
which the law requires every bank to
have before il can pay more than four per

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

After all, the fundamental cause of
the railroads present poverty is not
high wages but loss of traffic The high
wages, with high rates to match them,
were based on expectations of a normal
volume of business. There is no reason
for believing that with the return of nor
NAL traffic the roads could not pay those
wages and make the profit calculated
for them under the Transportation act
They were beginning to make money
when the business slump came The only
absolutely sound reason for lowering
wages is that other industries are do
ing it, as a logical part of the economic
readjustment on a lower price basis.
1t follows that if railroad wages are
to drop, railroad rates should drop, like
wise. The two inevitably hang together
The rate increases were allowed for the
express purpose of enabling the rail
roads to pay the wage increases. Other
industries are cutting rates-or selling
prices-along with wages. In fact,
most of the other industries cut their
prices before they began the wage-cut-
ting. The railroads cannot expect to
have an advantage over the manufactur-
ers and other business groups by saving
at both ends, buying labor cheap while
they sell transportation dear.
Moreover, rate reductions are, per-
haps more than wage reductions, an OBJ
zsioas remedy fQr. what ais. the railroads.
Other industries have lowered prices in

for public sympathy He failed entirely
to set forth the proper claims of Castle,
ton in particular and of Johnson in
general His arguments were almost en-
tirely destructive and many of them
based on assertions that are known to
be false.
Take, for instance, his accusation of
being accused by the newspapers OF
every crime in the decalGgue. There Is
not a word of truth in that assertion.
There is no truth in his insinuations
against members OF the state board.
Mr.. Stearns has not been prosecuted.
His pet normal school has not been
strangled. There has been no conspir-
acy against johnson any more than
there has been against Castleton, and
the Castleton committee has never made
any such ridiculous claim.
Castleton people and Rutland county
people have right TO be out OF pa
preiudiced and injurious manner IN
thence with the arrogant, headstrong,
which Mr.. Stearns has conducted the
past controversy They have a right to
protest against a conditIOn-absolute "
of his own making-which probably
prevents Castleton from even having a
teacher training class during the next
two years. ~
what Mr.. Stearns attempted as soon
as he found it impossible TO get his
normal school bill through the senate,
and if destruction does not result 1T VIII
not be the fault of Mr.. Stearns.
