TIE COAL SITUATION.

\ coal strike on April l would prob
ably be more of n misfortune for the
miners than for anybody else. The oper-
.ators apparently would welcome it. They
have n big surplus stock on hand, and
could then get rid of it and hold prices
up and possibly crush or cripple the
union. The public would not suffer much
unless the strike were prolonged. In
duStry is not demanding fuel this year
as it did in boom times.
If the miners are wise, therefore. they
win go Sow with strike plans They
will probably have to make wage con-
ccssions, too. They have already decided
to forbcar asking for a wage increase.
and could hardly have been serious about
that in the first place. 1t is a time for
deflation. and labor will have. to stand its
share of defation. in every industry.
ManifcStly. what the coal miners need
is not n higher wage scale. or even n
continuance of the same wage scale. but
more work. They are starving now be-
cause the mines are idle most of the
time. The mines are idle because in
dustry is depressed. The miners cannot
prosper until industry revives enough to
create bigger demand for coal, and a
reasonable attitude on their part would
promote such q revival
The same reasoning holds true of the
operators. The miners might reason
ably offer to take a moderate reduction
in wages in return for an operators
guarantee Of reduced prices, thereby in
surfing stronger demand for their prod
uct.

WAsHINGTON's BIRTHDAY.

There is perhaps no patriotic ami
versary dearer to the American people
as a whole than Washington's birthday,
of which we celebrate the 19Oth anniver-
sary this year.
We like the stories of him as a boy
his fine young manhood, his bravery as
a soldier and then his wisdom and cour-
age as the first president of the United
States. We can show our respect TO his
memory in no finer way than in earnest
and patriotic efforts to support and pre-
serve the government which he and his
great associates brought into being.
\ quaint obituary written at the time
Of his death, and Hastily topped with a
pair of skulls and crossbones. and two
hour glasses wherein the sands have run.
will bear quotation:
Our feelings will not permit us to
forbcar observing that the very disinter-
ested and important services rendered
by George Washington to these United
States, both in the field and in the cab
uet have erected in the hearts of his
C1untrymen monuments of sincere and
Unbounded gratitude, which the mould
ering hand of Time cannot efface and
that in every quarter of the globe where
u free government is ranked among the
choicest blessings of Providence, and
virtue, morality; religion and patriotism
are respected, the name of Washington
will be held in veneration."
One hundred and ninety years after
his birth, 1873 years after his death, the
words ring true

DIR. G. A.CARTER
WINS. IN THE
HARDWICK CASE
Jury Returns Verdict In
His Favor in Malprac-
tiCe Case

The jury in Caledonia county
court decided in favor of Dr.
George A Carter in the Hardwick
malpractice case brought against
him by Fred Montgomery of
HardWick.
The trial, which lasted nine
days, was one of the most strenu-
ously fought legal battles in the
recent records of the court
Mr.. Richardson who is a Hard
wick plumber, was injured in an
explosion of a bomb in the Fourth
of July celebration last summer,
DR.. Carter was called to attend to
Mr.. RichardSon's injuries which he
diagnosed "a severe Sprain of
the left leg. 1t was later discov-
cred that the leg was fractured.
The patients recovery neverthc-
less was as cod as the averape.
The plaintiff brought suit to re-
cover $1,000 for malpractice. There
was a treat volume of expert teS-
timony bearing on the case, DR.,
J. NJ. Allen and DR.. W. B. Fitch
of st. Johnsburv Drs. Crane, Kin
ney and Ferris of Hardwick and
Easton of Craftsbury being
among the number, The plaintiff 5
case claimed that the degree of
skill displayed by DR.. Carter was
rot up to the standard and that
his attention to the case and advise
was faulty. In defense DR.. Car
ter'S evidence was to the effect
that he gave the injured man his
best medical attention and the
trend of the expert testimony for
the defense was to the eject that
he did so.
NJ. G.. Morse and Dutton and
Shepard were attorneys for Rich
ard were attorneys for Richardson
while s. f. Darling Jr., and J. K.
SearlcS were the attorneys for DR..
Carter. The case was contested at
cvnrv step.
The arguments were concluded
late Thursday afternoon judge
Wilcox made a masterly clear
cut presentation of the law appli
cable to the case in his charge to
the jury and the Jury took the case
at 5.43. At 7,45 the jury, through
its foreman F. A. Bigelow of Lyn-
donville returned a verdict in fo-
vor of the defendant. Judge Will
cox commended the iur" for their
careful, naticnt attention to the
details of the evidence in the
case after which tho were dis
charged from further lutics at
this term.
