Sutton Shuts Out Essex
Co. Boys While Team
Mates Score 3

Lyndonville shut out Island
Pond in a we'll played game on
Victory Field Tuesday afternoon.
F. Sutton's pitching was too much
for the Island Pond boys, twelve
of them going back to look for the
water pail afterdoing a stunt of
shadow batting. Two small
singles in succession was The net
result of their afternoons tussle
with "Freem". These came in the
third inning when with one out
Rooney hit safe. Taylor crackel
the ball hard over third, and
Rooney made a game try for the
plate: but Lovely lined the ball in
and Rooney ran into w. Sutton at
home.
Lyndonville earned a run in the
fourth. Ahern singled and stole
second and scored on Hazards fine
double. Hazard came home nttle
later on a wild pitch. In the fifth

fore he could be run down Lavely

acular order. The whole game was
remarkably free from errors,
Cushions failure to get Laveley's
slow roller to first being the only
one and this had no effect on the
score. Taylor pitched a good
game and kept the Lyndonville
hits scattered, and was given good

catches by Goodman in left, heip-
ing out a lot, and in the eighth,
Stevens took a screaming liner off

c. H. Davis, the well known pulp
dealer who has been manager of
the Newport team has been COM
PEELED on account of nervous
trouble to take vacation and has
gone to a sanatorium for rest and
recuperation. The management OF
the team has been placed Ill the
hands of John Prouty, the we'll
known Newport lumber man and
baseball enthusiast.
Mr.. Prouty spent Tuesday in
ST. Johnsbury and had a long and
very satisfactory conference with
Manager Hoernle. The two base
ball managrs wnt ovr the situation
very carefully and as they both
wish to give Northeastern Yer
mont the very best kind of base
ball it was felt that an Inter-City
series would be of more interest to
the fans than games with outside
teams who are little known in this
section 1t is expected that both
teams as they are playing today
will be kept intact as near as
poss bic for tie big series.

enough They felt confident that
level headed men would be assigned
10 the responsible position. This has
been done. The books have been
opened and the revelation is astound-
ing The financial condition of the
Shipping Board is an instance. No
enc supposed so many millions had
leaked through the sieve. These bills
must be paid. How to do it and get
up steam while doing it, is the big
gest undertaking of its, kind this
country ever faced. If it is to be
handled successfully it will need the
united Judgment of all the MELONS
in the Republican or the Democratic
party and all the Smiths and Joneses
as well. Furthermore it will need the
confidence and support of the pub
lie. 1t viii need the public's aid in
bringing pressure to bear on the
congressman. 1t will need a public
that will say: We know we have
got to pay these taxes; we don't ask
to have the dose sugar coated; tell
us what's What and let us go to it
with our eyes open. We don't want
TO be coddled, and humbugged and
the fellow who tells us he will find a
way to let us out of it is a liar"
If the people will bur get into that
attitude. viii look on the situation in
the light of truth and common sense
then it will be possible for our sec
rotary of the treasury to continue
telling the truth and securing the aid
which he must have for getting the
problems solved.

NEED A CHANGE

Out in Chicago it is fair to sup
pose are many people from foreign
lands who have not had an opportu-
nifty really to get acquainted with
this country, it's institutions and its
behefs. If the present regime which
is governing that city continues they
are not likely to do so. Here is
what is found in a book written by
Chicago's superintendent of schools
for the use of the pupils:
With practically no investigation
and with less than two hours debate
Congress voted the United States
into war"
"A nationwide propaganda was i'm
medlately instituted to prevent and
discourage the American people from
inquiring why we were at war or
what We expected to accomplish
through it,"
Nobody seems able to point to any
definite benefit which the American
people received from the sacrifices"
Evidently Chicago needs a different
superintendent OF schools as well as
new mayor.

THINK STRAIGHT AND ACT
ACCORDINGLY

II is said of our secretary of the
treasury, Mr.. Mellon. that at re-
cent cabinet meeting there was dis
cussion OF the desirability of scrap
ping" a plant in which the Govern
ment had twelve millions invested,
and he was asked for his opinion. He
Quietly replied that he had not been
able to give the matter suitable con-
sideration but would do so. He re-
called, however, that not long ago
the business with which he was con-
nected had a similar question re-
specting a twelve million dollar in
yestment and decided to scrap it.
y public official whose previous
life has been successfully passed un
der such a training must be inCapa
bile of approaching the petty de-
tails of what may be termed the pol
tiles of the situation. Men who have
got into Congress, largely, in some
instances, by appeals to the likes and
dislikes of their constituents rather
than to their calm, sound sense and
conscience. can't appreciate his view
point any more than he can theirs.
He has dealt with men capable of
comprehending, i'll some degree at
least dispassionately. He has de-
pended on his ability to secure sup
port by accurately ascertaining the
difficulties and explaining the rene
dies. Dealing with those capable of
understanding the situation, having
knowledge of the problem to be
them and enlist their support
The public is not so dependable; 1t
has not the comprehension; it is sus-
ceptible to influence which would
have 10 effect on the hard headed"
business man. This is not neces-
sarily discreditable to the public,
certainly not to large part OF it
which has not had the opportunity
through experience to acquire the
requisite knowledge And it doubt
less is of this public many of the
congressman. anxious for a reelec-
ton, are thinking.
The need is of congressman cana
bic of thinking of this revenue prob
! lem as Mr.. Mellon is thinking and
exercising that capability to the ut
most regardless of the effect it may
have on their political fortunes. We
ali know what is thought of the SOL
! der who plays politics in the face of
the enemy. In many ways the re-
sponsibilities on him were no great
er than are those now devolving on
the lawmakers of the country. They
are the ones whose duty it is to as
sist in stabilizing the peace which
the soldiers, who didn't play politics
won.
With regard to the financial con-
! dition of the country revelation has
! followed revelation. Doubtless those
who promised that the Republican
! administration would be able to re-
duce expenditures We're sincere
