THE PIANIST-STATESMAN.

Ignace Padcrewski. the great Polish
pianist, arrived in New York recently
He has not come to reap fresh honOrs at
the piano, but to address some of the
Polish societies in this country and then
to rest. piano playing" he says, is a
closed chapter in my life" When it is
remembered that piano playing was his
life. the remark attains new significance.
When the war broke out Paderewski
gave up his career as musician and re-
turned to Poland to fight for and with
his people. The great war which saw
many sacrifices saw few, perhaps more
noteworthy than this Great artists are
scarce. Because Of their gifts they are
usually considered exempt from the
claims which fall necessarily upon lesser
men. If Paderewski had chosen to stay
in America, delighting audiences with his
music and sending only money to his peo-
pie, there would have been little criti-
cism. But the part he chose was in
finitely nobler
Even if Paderewski had gained no
fame in his new role. it would have made
little difference in the worlds moral es-
innate of the man. 1t was enough that
one who led the world in his own line
took all he had and gave it to his coun-
try. But the artist achieved the miracle
of making for himself name as a leader
of men. He won an honored place in the
couhseAEa Of Bsropeni governments. 1t

Hardness and the Legislature.
(Rutland News

If. as suggested in some quarters. Gov
ernor Hardness Yields to the Bates politi-
cal machine and reappoints the present
highway commissioner he will have lost
the confidence of the voters of the state.
Mr.. Bates is not the man for the job and
even if he were there are many others who
would do Just as well. Governor Hardness
was elected among other things to appoint
highway commissioner and the people
expect him to follow the dictates of his
own conscience rather than to bow to the
wish of any political machine.
As a matter of fact The Rutland News
does not believe the governor will yield; a
majority of the legislature does not want
to perpetuate the power of the highway
department machine; and. the governor
is fighter. The mere fact that the legis-
lature is angry at the governor because
of his methods is not sufficient reason for
casting aside the best interests of the
state. The Rutland News believes and
hopes that the reports of the contemplated
reappointment of Mr.. Bates are untrue.

An Ever-Present Possibility.
Barre Times.)

The diverting of steamers bringing
1000 aliens to the United States from
New York city to Boston brings the prob
lem of public health more closely home tC
New England people. There is nothing
to indicate that any of the passengers OF
those diverted steamers are suffering from
the dreaded typhus, or any other conta-
giouS malady; but there is the ever-pres-
ent possibility that disease of this nature
may be uncovered or that incipient cases
may get through the examination of the
passengers. 1t goes without saying that
the utmost precaution will be taken at the
port of Boston.

General +. Plutarco Gales, who is re-

over questions of policy, is chief OF cab

many he is regarded as the most foreefu

advisers, as he also is unique in some re-
spects. He is a Sonora man, like Obre-
gon. has served as governor of the state
and was long the military leader Oddly
enough Gales is something of Puritan
zeal cast and once attempted to impose
his IDEAS by decreeing that the sale of
liquor should stop i'll Sonora. 1t did
for a short time, but the decree was
found incapable of enforcement and
caused so much dissatisfaction that
Gales was forced to revoke it. Although
primarily a military leader, General
Gales has displayed craftsmanship and
executive ability of a high order.

The Meddter
"If the coat fits you, put it on"

1t is very evident that some of the up
state papers, particularly the Burlington
News. have misconception of Senator
Dunham's bill pertaining to Sunday OBJ
servance. 1t is true the measure pro-
poses to prohibit any play, sport, dance
or entertainment for which money is
charged. but its most important feature
is that it legalizes any Sunday sport,
game or play for which no admission is
charged and which does not interfere
with the public peace. In other words,
Senator Dunham's bill repeats the pres
ent obsolete statutes in regard to Sunday
observance in toto. and substitutes a law
by which only commercializcd sports and
entertainments are put under the ban.
observe the Sabbath in any way he
wishes provided such observance does
not interfere with that of anyone else.
Certainly the Durham bill seems to be
as liberal a measure as there is any hope
of getting through the legislature. and its
author is entitled to the support of all
believers in more liberal laws regarding
Sunday observance. The existing stat
utes relating to Sunday are wholly out of
touch with prcsent-day opinion. and in
many parts of the state no attempt is
made to enforce them. If Senator Dun
ham can bring about the passage of his
bill he will have accomplished something
that will stamp hhn as a legislator as
broad minded as he is influential.
One of the articles in the town meet
ing warrant will ask for exemption from
taxation for a period of ten years of the
Windham county cooperative milk
plant, now nearing completion. The
Meddlcr believes this proposition should
receive the same treatment that the town
has given to other new Industries. 1t is
his recollection, however. that such cx-
emptions have been given for five in
stead of ten-year periods. That, at least.

tions were granted the Kolstad-Taylor
Co, Fort Drummer mills extension. Mil
lers Falls Co. and Vermont Silk Co. at
the special town meeting last July, and
there seems to be no good reason why a
change should be made in the ease of
the milk plant. If at the end of the
five-year period there appeared justilica-
ton for a further extension there is lit
tie doubt that the town would extend it.
