BURLINGTON AS
TEACHERS COLLEGE
SITE IS FAVORED
Sunday Observance Law
Comes Up for Lively Dis
cussiOn In Legislature
(By Vermont Press Bureau)

MONTPELIER, March 4-With-
out word of debate and with only
nine votes cast in opposition, the sem
ate todaw gave its final approval to
the state board of education bill to
establish a teachers college at Bur-
lington. The bill now goes to the
house where the Stearns normal
school measure is meeting with diff
ficulty and it is predicted that Mr.
Connal of Newport town will intro
duce a substitute measure in an at
tempt to combine the features of the
Stearns and the state boards meas
ure.
The house, by vote of 159 to 80,
passed the attomey-generaPs salary
measure, increasing it from the
S2500 now provided to $500. The
house also voted to increase the pay
of the county clerks, passing the bl1
which two days ago, it had killed.
Under the terms of this bill the Or
leans county clerk will be increased
from S1700 to $2100. The clerk of
the county in which the general terms
of the supreme court are held VIII
receive $500 instead of $500 in ad-
dition to his salary. The county clerk
in Caledonia county receives an IN
crease from $4,000 to $4,000.
The senate was occupied with rou-
aine matters including passage OF
the apple grading bill until 1 o'clock
whei adjournment was taken so that
the senators might go to the hall OF
the house where the house at that
our ad resolved itself into a commit
tee of the whole to consider Senator
Dillingham's Sunday observance
measure.
Declaring that if Vermont were to
pass this law which permits CONNER
cialized and peace disturbing recrea-
ton on Sunday, the state would be
committing moral suicide, Dr. Mar
tin d. Kneeland of Boston, repre-
senting the Lords Day League OF
New England, argued against replac-
ing the old time Sabbath with the
Continental Sunday.
During the absence of Governor
Hartness in Washington the leglsla-
ture is marking time on the highway

ACADEMY PUPILS
ADOPT CHILD
OF NEAR EAST
ADpeal of Mrs. Enrich
brings Generous Response
In St. JOhnsbury

Following an earnest talk on con-
ditions in the Near East by Mrs. X.
M. Enrich at St. Johnsbury academy
Thursday noon, the student body on
the suggestion of Principal T. H. Will
son unanimously voted to feed, clothe
and educate one child for one year.
This will require the sum of $180,and
Stanwood Brooks will act as chair
man of the committee in charge of
raising the fund.
Mrs. Enrich has lived in Mesopo-
tamia for the past ten years, engaged
in relief work Her husband lost his
life in the cause and she is carrying
on his work. She has been in New
York this winter to aid in raising
funds for the campaign and returns
next month to Armenia to continue
her humanitarian work.
Addressing the school, Mrs Enrich
said she was assumping they had a
better idea of the geographical loca-
ton of Armenia, Palestine and the
other countries comprising the So
called Near East than did the two
United States Senators who were dis
cussing Admiral Dewey's mission to
the Philippines. Asked where it was
one said he wasn't sure but he
thought it was somewhere in the
Holy Land as he remembered of read
ing in the Bible of the Apostle Paul
writing a letter to the PHILIPPIANS.
The Near East problem, Mrs. En-
rich said, cahnot be settled by wiping
the Turk off the map. Only one thing
offers the solution and that is chris
tan education, and America is the
only nation to supply the solution.
America is the only nation that has
gone in to serve and to give The Turk
is convinced that religion prompts
Americas entrance and not personal
gain. America goes not for oils or
wealth or gain of any kind but to
LOOK for hungry child. For that rea-
son Americans are the only ones safe.
We are disinterested and they know
1t. This country is now caring for
10000 children and Mrs. Enrich is
here to plead for the thousands who
are dying from starvation. There are
229 orphanages in the Near-East but
every night the doors are closed to
hundreds of starving children who
beg for admittance.

right.
Immediately aftelward, the men,
bers of the House of Representatives
were announced. A seat had been
placed on the rostrum for Speaker
Glllett at the left of Vice-preSident
Marshall. The Representatives filed

rostrum. Vice President Coolidge was
escorted to seat on the platform.
The Senate chaplain, the Rev. J. J.
Muir, offered prayer and the Senate
of the 9th Congress was called to
order by Vice President Marshall.
AS silence settled over the chamber,
Vice President Coolidge stood beside
Mr. Marshall. Both men raised their
right hands. Mr.. Marshall slowly
spoke the Vice Presidents oath the
new Vice President repeated the
words, and then delivered his address.
While the new Senators were being
sworn in the remainder of the party
began moving out of the chamber
toward the East portico. All of the
party on the Senate floor and the
guests in the galleries by prearrang-
ed direction, moved alone the rotunda
in lines which converged at the main
entrance and thus out to the portico
steps, The guests were in their places
before Mr.. Harding appeared on the
speakers stand, a small structure 90
feet square, built with iron girders
and a covered canopy above housing

The whole was decorated with flags
and bunting.
As they came out of the Capitol

WILSON UNABLE TO

WASHINGTON, March 4-Yield-

family and physicians, President VIII

the White House to the capitol. The

the incoming president took the oath
Immediately after signing some bills.
In the presidents room Mr.. Wilson
returned to his motor car and drove
to his new home in S street. Walking
feebly with the aid OF cane, Mr..
Wilson had persisted in carrying out
so much of his part of the program
as called for him to accompany his
successor in tn abbreviated inaugural
procession from the executive man
sion to the capitol. When he departed
from the White House it was neces-
sary for secret service men to place
his feet on each succeeding step as
he descended and it was apparent to
all that it was next to impossible for
him to take part in the ceremonies
at the capitol He had been warned
that he would do so at the risk of
loosing all the gains he had made to-
wards health if not indeed his life.
Persistent at first, he yielded at last,

Says Senate Is
Stronghold of Liberty

WASHINTON, March 4-Vice
President Calvin d, Coolidge in his
address said: ,-.
Give generations ago there was
revealed to the people of this nation
a new relationship between man and
man which they declared and so pro
claimed in the American constitution.
Therein they recognized legislature
empowered to express the will OF the
reople in law a judiciary required to
determine and state such law. and an
executive charged with securing obe-
dience to the law, all holding Their
office not by reason of some superior
force but through the duly determin-
ed conscience of their countrymeh'
To the house close to the heart of the
nation, renewing its whole member
ship by frequent elections, represent
ing directly the people, rejecting
their common purpose, has oeeh
granted a full measure of the powers
of legislation and exclusive authority
to originate taxation. To the senate
renewing its membership by degrees
representing in part the sovereign
states, has been granted not only
full measure of the legislation but if
possible far more important functions
To it is entrusted the duty of re-
view. that to negot alton there may
be added ratification and to appoint
ment approval.
But its great function of all too
little mentioned and too little under
stood, whether exercised in legislating
or reviewing, is the preservation OF
liberty. Not merely the right of the
majority, they little need protection
that the needs of the minority from
whaever source they may be asailed.
Whatever its faults, whatever IT'S
human imperfections there is no le-
gislative body in all history that has
used its powers with more wisdom
and discretion, more uniformly for
the execution of the public will, and
more in harmony with the spirits Of
the authority of the people which has
created it than the United States Sc
nate. take up the duties the people
have ASSIGNED me under the constl-
tuition which we can neither enlaroe
nor diminish or pressing over THIS
senate agreeably to its rules and reg
ulatons.

Vermont Is Greatest
Maple Sugar Producer

The following is an extract from
Leon NJ. Estabrook's report, Bureau
of Crop Estimates, Washington, DC.
This report covers thirteen of the lar
gest maple sugar producing states.
1t is just possible that even some of
our Vermont sugar makers who take
justifable pride in all things per-
tanning to our growth and prosperity,
will be surprised at the COMMITS of the
report
For example, our sister state of
New Hampshire made 334,8O0 pounds
of maple sugar last year. Vermont in
1920 made $685.. pounds. Yer
mont made more than 100000 pounds
of maple sugar than all the other
states combined. The other states re-

F|SKE'SATTACK ON

War Secretary "Unworthy" Of
Trust and a ''FaIsifier," Says
Retired Admiral.

High naval circles were buzzing
with excitement today over the lam
guage used by Rear Admiral Bradley
4. Fiske, retired in expressing his
opinion of the manner in which Jo-
sephus Daniels conducted the Navy
during the war Admiral Fiske ex-
pressed himself with unprecedented
force in writing an Introduction to
Lieut.. Tracy Barrett Kittredge's
Naval Lessons of the Great War;"
which has been privately distrubted
to heads of departments.
Admiral Fiske bluntly calls the
former Secretary of the Navy "un-
worthy" and fatty charges him with
falsifying. The book Is dedicated to
Admiral William S. Sims. and is gem
orally looked upon in naval circles
as Sims explanation of his long and
bitter controversy with Daniels.

Shows that the principal naval les
son OF the war is the menace to the
national honor and safety that was
involved in committing the manage
ment of the navy to unworthy hands.
THE Secretary of the Navy should
be a man Of the highest order of abil-
ity, knowledge and foresight. This
book shows that Secretary Daniels
was so far below the standard that

Receipts at keith's on That Day
win Go to Insurance
Fund.

Washington theatergoers are prom
ised real treat at Keith's Theater
on April 8. which is the date set
for the annual national testimonial,
of the National Vaudeville Artists
entertainment in this city.
= An elaborate entertainment of fur.
melody. foolery, and other elements
Will be offered as special induce
Tnent to the people OF Washington
TO turn out in large numbers and
give the National Vaudeville Artists
q bumper sum as the quota from,
this city. Vaudeville theaters all
owes the country will turn over to
the organization the entire receipts
of the matinee performance on that
day.
The wonderful Improvement in the
quality of amusement offered in
vaudeville is said to be due, to a
large extent to the efforts of this
organization. In previous years va
riety was considered a, sort of lark
to be indulged in by a star when no
other form of engagement was Of
fered, and then only under cover of semi
secrecy. Today vaudeville is the ac-
knowfedged amusement of every
class, nationality and creed. and its
entertainers are of the best that
the stage has to offer.
This great change for the better
has been brought about through the
influence that the National Vaudeville
Artists have exerted themselves in
eliminating the discord between the
actor and the people associated with
him in a business way In recogni-
ton of the important part that the
organization has played in the eleva-
tion of the vaudeville business, the
vaudeville managers have set aside
one day each year when the proceeds
from the matinee performance will
be turned over to the artists.
The proceeds will go toward estab-
fishing and maintaining a permanent
insurance fund for each member of
the organization. This testimonial Is
not in any sense an appeal for charity,
as patrons of the performance are as
sured full value for the money spent
in admission to the entertainment.
