Bates'S Resignation.
(Rutland HeraId.)

Mr.. Bates rendered his resignation
saying that he was unable to cooper
ate further with the board, the breaking
point coming over the matter of minor
lty report of the commission which Mr.
Bates refused to write
Governor Hardness and DIR. w. n.
Bryant, the other members, felt, it is
said. that this was somewhat irregular.
but requested Mr.. Bates TO go ahead with
his minority report and submit il to the
board for consideration. Mr.. Bates re
signed rather than submit his report to
his colleagues, it is understood.
1t is said that Mr.. Bates has never
entered intellectually into the work
of the board. a point of difference was
the use of engineers in laying out federal
aid projects. Governor Hartness and
Doctor Bryant felt that it was better to
use the engineering force in laying out
these projects so that as soon as they
were approved work might be begun at
once. Mr.. Bates argued that the en-
glneers should not be used until the
money was in hand. The board felt that
the people were entitled to the roads as
soon as the money was available and not
be made TO wait for months with the
money being idle in the bank, as the
Bates plan required.
Differences were constantly developing
on the board, it is understood, and came
to a climax with Mr.. Batess decision not
to submit his minority report to bis
colleagues,-News Story in Burlington
Free Press.
Stoddard B Batess retirement from the
state highway commission, it is reported,
was the outcome in part of differences
between himself and the other two mem
bers of the commission. Governor Hart
ness and DR. w. y. Bryant, as to the
matter of policy regarding the use of
engineers in federal highway surveys.
This is one of the few public limitations
that things have not been running alto
gether smoothly in the business of the
highway commission for some time. due
in measure to the friction between Gov
prnor Hardness and Mr.. Bates on the
latters' retirement from control of the
state highway department. Mr.. Bates S
resignation from the commission at this
time does not mean that he will depart
from public life inasmuch as he is a
candidate for senator from Orleans
county and is certain of taking his seat
in the senate barring unforeseen circum-
STANCES. As a practical road builder. his
advice is worthy of consideration as he
has built some of the best highways in
the state; he may or may not be as

T0TD VOICES

N loud talking in the halls" is the
edict sent out by the heads of big
high school. A similar order probably
has been issued in every school in the
country. What a blessing it would be
if the movement could be broadened to
encourage low-pitched voices among chill
dren in their general conversation in
school and out.
1t is neither necessary nor desirable
that the shouts of playing children
should be repressed sternly, but on the
other hand there is every reason why the
child should be trained in voice pitch
and the pleasant modulation of his
speech.
An agreeable speaking voice is not
only restful to the ear. 1t is also a dis
tinct business and social asset for the
speaker 1t is a fact too often over
looked in the child's early training. The
shriIl American voice is notorious. II
the effort to suppress young voices in
school halls were elaborated just lit
tie. the timbre of the national voice
could be changed in a generation.

of bringing to Vermont large numbers of
visitors in addition to those who had al
ready discovered the charm of the Green
Mountain state.
What the Vermont hotel men have ac-
complished will be reported at their state
convention in Manchester. this week.
They have done good service not only
TO those directly engaged in caring for
the summer visitors. but it is to be re-
membered that the great army of tourists
stimulates business in many lines. The
vacation resort business is an asset of
great value to the New England states.
Such effort as that which has been made
in Vermont to foster it and the efforts
which are similarly being made in other
states are of general interest. And it
appears that these Vermont men are not
looking solely to the so-called summer
business" They are alive to the oppor
tunitieS that are offered Vermont by the
growing fondness shown by large num-
bers of people for vacation days spent
among the hills in the celebrating at
mosphere of a New England winter.
The Vermont hotel men who have
taken the lead in the present endeavor
to further the resort business should be
given cordial and active cooperation by
other interests. Chambers of commerce
and boards of trade may we'll enlist in
the movement. 1t is of general value 10
the state and should receive general and
generous support.

strong in administrative work-Barre
Times.
Comparing the news story from the
Free Press with the actual record of
the meeting to which the story refers,
shows that some one took particular
pains to put Mr. Bates in wrong.
whereas the facts are that his suggestion
for filing a minority report was turned
down" peremptorily by Governor Hart
ness and only partially reversed later
when the governor was remonstrated
with by his associates. Then he con
scented to a minority report if Bates
would submit il for the approval of the
majority of the board
There is nothing irregular about "a
minority report, and DIR. Bryant, an eX-
perienced legislator. knew il, but he was
not given an opportunity to make his
point, as the record shows that the gov
ernor arbitrarily refused to consider the
Bates proposition and the meeting i'm
mediately adjourned
Afterward, undoubtedly both DIR. Bry-
ant and Commissioner Dix represented
to the chairman Governor Hartnessl
that it would not do hence the Dix let
ter next day If Mr.. Bates had been
willing TO abide by the somewhat re-
markable conditions imposed he might
have had his report received and perhaps
edited by his associates. but evidently
he did not propose to have minority re-
port edited by the majority, so he de-
clined and resigned.
The break between Bates and the
board was probably inevitable, as Cover
nor Hartne$s has never forgiven the legiS-
lature for so framing the law that he
was virtually compelled to appoint Bates
on the board. and the presence of the
former highway commissioner thereon
has always been irritating to the COVER
nor.
The Bates report however, should be
urrittnu and if tho highway commission
does not care to include it as addenda
then no doubt -the legislature might
print it by resolution for distribution
to its membership

Legislation to provide square deal
for the Legitimate child will be pushed
when congress convenes again. Under
the proposed law the obligation for the
education and support of such children
will be placed upon both parents. The
tendency now prevailing to throw the
burden upon the public and the mother
and let the father go free viii receive a
needed check. If the law goes through,
the government will stand back of the
mother and child to insure that the
father acknowledges and fulfills his re-
sponsibility for the support and educa-
ton of the child during its years of de-
tendency. Failure to pay money for that
purpose in sums fixed by the court will
be considered criminal offense, and
punished as such This is activity in the
right direction. 1t sets no premium upon
illicit love. 1t offers the innocent child
a chance to which he is entitled BY
the fact that it throws responsibility

\ WELCOME FOR THE ALIEN.

Former Commissioner of Immigration
Wallis is lifting his voice for better con
ditions at Ellis Island. where the immi-
grant gets his first experience of Amer
lea. He feels that Americanization work
should start at that point. You can
make an anarchist over night at Ellis
ielaud." SAYS Mr.. Wallis.
This is not the first time it has been
suggested that the situation at Ellis
Island needed improvement. 1t is pity
the suggestion needs repetition 1t would
no a very difficult matter to make con-
ditions ideal, but much could be done to
better them. The trouble arises not be-
cause of the Indifference of those hand
ling the immigrants when they come in.
but because the subject as a whole never
has been provided for on the big scale
which its needs demand.
First impressions sink deep and often
are lasting. After handpicking and sift-
ing immigrants at the foreign ports, the
newt best step toward assimilation and
Americanization undoubtedly would be
welcome at the gates OF America which
prediSposed the alien to believe in and
trust the new land to which he has
ccm". If he leaves the port of entry
uely and disillusioned. it is bad for him
and bad for the country which must har-
b"r him. Tn the general reform of our
Immigrant policy this point should not be
forgotten

LONGER SKIRTS. HIGHER BOOTS.
Trade Paper Declares Women Demand
Them-High Priced Lines Coming.

Longer skirts NOr women are an estab-
lished fact. They may be seen in increas-
ing numbers on the fashionable streets
of every city They have displaced short
skirts for morning, afternoon and evening
wear. This question is not debatable
The commercial interests which imagine
they will be adversely affected by this
radical change in women's gowns are
still harping on the old string that the
women of America will not accept the
edict of Paris. but their arguments are
disproved by their own women folks n
home.
The hosiery manufacturers and the
trade papers which contain hosiery ad
yertising are doing all they can to stem
the tide. They fear that long skirts will
sound the knell of silk hosiery. They
are mistaken Women have been wear
ing silk underwear for years, and having
acquired the silk stocking habit win not
depart from. it except as they may be
driven by poverty Furthermore there
will not be a return to the feet clutterine
impedimenta of former days. The new
GOWNS, as far as ankles are concerned
are of the half concealing, half revealing
type. They will call for hose and boots
which will entrance by flashes of eX
posture rather than the frank but less eff
fective display of the knee-length skirts,
High cut boots for women are coming
back also. but not in force Immediately
They will be featured first in the high
priced lines. Boots are not returning
to favor because of longer skirt lengths
as much as for the reason that low cut
shoes have already outlived their ex-
pectancy of life. Fashionable women are
demanding a change and the industries
involved have not to reason why, but to
obey orders and go ahead.
The fashion designers of Paris are
evolving boot designs. but not following
the old ideas of plain, heavy footgear
suitable for wading through snowdrifts.
The coming boots will reflect the artistry
of Paris. and will be things of beauty, if
perhaps too frail to be joys forever.
In despite of anything the hosiery peo-
pie and the papers interested in hosiery
can do. the modish, attractive boot for
women is coming The advance guard
is here and the cohorts will arrive in

A New Cold Remedy /.

A method of curing a common cold,
devised by Dr. Wilfred Glegg of Bir-
mingham, Eng, was highly praised by
Dr. E. P. Poulson of London at meet
ing of the Royal Society of Medicine.
1t consists in nothing more than allow
ing mixture of paraffine and vaseline
to run from a funnel down each nostril.
Enough vaseline should be added to the
paraffin to make a thick viscous mixture
that will run slowly out of the funnel.
Less yaseline should be used in cold
weather.
