THE PROFESSORS SCORE

1t is often said the college prof
essors are dry-as dust students,
whose knowledge has no relation
to the affairs of everyday life. We
have noticed lately, however, that
when the public wanted to know
what sort of place Floyd Collins
was trapped in it asked the prof
.essors of geology, and when an
earthquake shook New England it
was glad to hear what the prof
essors had 70 say; and that more
recently the meteorologists who
discussed the western tornado and
explained it in words of four let
tiers were listened to with inter-
est-New Bedford Standard.

shops of the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad at Clinton. Iowa, is
rather conclusive indication that
experts in shop management have
studied similar experiments put
into operation by Canadian roads,
by the Baltimore and Ohio, and
by the Chesapeake C Ohio, and
have found them effective.
Co operative management means
recognition that worker and man
ager share responsibility for the
efficient conduct of the industry.
This idea is comparatively new in
railroad work, where, especially
in the shops, there has been a
great deal of industrial discord.
The plan is at least hopeful
compromise. On the one hand,
the working force, becoming, as it
were, an associate in the manage
ment of the plant where he is en-
ployed, presumably takes an in
creased interests in its tasks. On
the other hand, in the words of Sir
Henry Thornton, chairman and
president Of the Canadian Nation
al railways, operation involves
the realization that trade unions
are not the enemy of capital" and
that sit is better to work with the
unions than to fight with them"
From the point of view of the
railroad stakeholder and the pub
lie, great interest attaches to the
spread Of the operative idea in
corporations of a semipublic char
acter, because of its promise of IN
creased service efficiency.

WHO WANTS A RAILROAD?

Any young man who would like
to go into the railroad business
has an opportunity open to him
in Vermont if he can arrange for
q certain bond The railroad he
can have without price, according
to statements made by John r.
Cushing, agent of the Central
Vermont at Brattelboro. He told
meeting of the Kiwanis club
there that the Central Vermont
stands ready to turn the West
River railroad over to any indi-
vidual or group Of individuals,
who will give bond to operate
the road and pay the taxes.
The man who accepted the offer
would come into possession of SO
miles of railroad extending from
Brattleboro to South Londonderry.
He would also have turned over to
him an operating deficit of $780,
900 annually and tax bill from
the. state of Vermont for $500
additional. AS he rode over the
road, he could catch occasional
glimpses of the motor vehicles that
compete with it. It has been fignr-
ed out, incidently, that a sufficient
number of trucks to handle all
the railroads business would pay
the state only about $500 a year
in license fees. 1t is clearly a
glorious opportunity for the right
man. If he could put the West
River railroad on a paying basis,
it goes without the saying that
he could name his own salary In
response to demands for his SER,
vices elsewhere. = Boston Trans

SOLD MOON,
large FINE


For some time prohibition Off
GERS have been after Al Ronsit of
Madison who has been driving
ear over Sank county roads and
selling moonshine, it is alleged. On
January 30 and March 80 liquor
was found in possession of Otto
Soldwedel Of Loganville and when
he was arrested he was made to
realize that he faced serious trou-
BILE unless he made known where
he obtained the liquor. At last he
acknowledged he purchased the
goods from Ronsit. Ronsit was ar
rested by the officers and taken
before Justice H. L. Halsted this
morning where he was bound over
to a higher court. Judge Kellogg
of Portage was summoned and he
fined Ronsit $S45.48, also gave him
four months in the Sank county
Jail. His time will be out when
watermelons are ripe.
The incident is told that some
time ago the officers at Sparta
confiscated a. car belonging to
Ronsit but the car was not secured
in the last case because it was
not definitely known which car
was used in the transportation Of
the liquor.
For some time Soltwedel has
been selling liquor contrary to
law, it is alleged, and there was
considerable satisfaction at Lo-
ganville when the officers pounced
upon him. District Attorney H. J.
Bohn promised he would recon-
mend a light sentence if he deliv-
cred a truthful tale. When Ronsit
gets out he will probably not sell
to Soltwedel again.
Before Judge J.. H. Hill SoIt-
wedel was given a fine of $3.50
and costs, totaling $486.40 He paid
up this afternoon.
