There are of course some instances
in which individual carelessness is res
ponsible for the terrible accidents that
have been occurring with such appall-
ing frequency of late in this country;
but on the whole the public has only
itself to blame for them. We are
living so fast, we expect so much of
our public service, we demand such
lightning-like achievements in transit
and in startling and unusual amuse-
ment, that it is no wonder If enter
prise sometimes overreaches the dan
ger point in its zeal to successfully
meet public demand There are other
ways than physical safety, Also in
which we are suffering from overcon-
fidence.

OF course Mrs. Rogers the convict
ed murderess. ought to suffer the ex-
IRENE penalty-death-a our laws now
are: because if she is not duly exc
ecuted she will be pardoned by and
by, on one pretext or another; ana
she has shown herself a dangerous per-
son to associate with other human be-
ings. But if the next legislature
should abolish the death penalty and
substitute for it Imprisonment for life
with hard labor and no pardon except
for proven innocence, then we should
say. commute her sentence to conform
with the new law; because the death
penalty is wrong in principle and ac-
ceptable now only as the lesser of two
wrongs.

It's a low-down trick, this disfran-

is as well qualified to exercise right of

intelligent and industrious white man.
It's all right to disfranchise illiteracy

1t is thoughtless and uniformed
criticism that attributes to lack of en-
terprise the decision of the Vermont
sugar makers to make no exhibit of
their product at the St Louis exposi-
ton. The maple sugar industry in this
state has suffered greatly of late both
from the ravages in its orchards of the
forest worm and from the lowering of
its prices by the flooding of the mar
pure Vermont maple sugar" What
the maple sugar men need just now is
as it is product for the demand and a
fair field to work in. They are there
fore quite right in bending their en-
ergies and resources to the repairing of
their orchards and to the passing of a
pure food law which shall protect their
product from the cheapening encroach-
ments of frauds. If such a law is pas
sed there is a prospect that some large
western sugar packers may move their
establishments to Vermont and open
the way up to largely increased
and more profitable business for
state sugar makers. Considering all
these things it would be a pure waste
of money TO advertise the industry at
a worlds fair in its present condition
1t would be like gliding the spire of
a tall building when its foundations
were crumbling and it was in immi-
nent danger of falling.

Better Forestry Laws Needed.
Rutland Herald I

1t is to be regretted that our forestry
laws are not equal to the task of pro-
tecting our mountains as they should
be protected. A syndicate of capitalists
from outside the state, as our readers
know, hold an option upon 1900 acres
of heavily timbered land in the towns
of Searsburg, Somerset. Glastonbury,
Winhall and Sunderland. These in
vestments are made by men who pro-
pose to market lumber; they are not
interested in our beautiful state, nor
will their cuttings be made in a way
to preserve the peculiar charm of our
Green Mountain landscapes They are
after lumber and not a thing of beauty,
and our laws put no restraint upon
them in the matter of cutting. II they
would fell the larger trees, leaving
healthy young forest, the evergreens on
our mountains would not be threatened,
as they are now, with destruction.

The Barre Telegram believes that
short shrift is sometimes greater
mercy than unwise leniency' in the
case of the drinking man, and calls on
the officials of Barre to arrest DRINKS
on the streets and in public places 'as
soon as it is plainly apparent that they
are under the influence of liquor" 1t
holds that such men are dangerous to
the general public and to their wives
and children at home and should be
safely secured until they are sober

popular one but it is nevertheless
right.

The Public Buildings Crusade.

The great wave of popular attention
to public buildings started by the re-
cent tragedy in Chicago has produced
ripples even in remote little villages
and everybody is thinking of the
church. hall, opera house or factory
where he or his people go and whether
1t is safe or not Few such buildings
will escape a careful scrutiny and the
necessity of strict conformance with
existing laws; while in many cases
more stringent laws will be made for
the insurance of public safety. 1t is a
sad example of the shiftlessness of hui
man nature that so heavy a blow was
needed to jog it into line with duty
in this important matter
AS usual when any real duty calls
Vermont is prompt to respond TO the
recognized demand for greater care In
the construction and management of
nublic buildings. The state board of
health has instructed all the local
boards to examine such buildings to see
whether they meet the provisions OF
the law. and if not, to close them. rms
is another Illustration of the way we
make laws and then expect them TO
enforce themselves, 1t is a good thing
to make laws requiring certain condl-
tions to be observed in public build
ings but unless these laws are en-
forced, they are no protection to lie
or limb. Neither does a rigorous en-
forcement after catastrophe like that
of Chicago abate its horror one jot or
soften by shade its suffering.
Some of our people are having vio-
lent attacks of the reform fever whlch
has swept the country since the oc-
currence of the Chicago disaster. In
one town it is said proposition TO
close at once all public buildings, IN
Guiding mills, not properly provided
with fire escapes, was barely defeated
at a meeting of village trustees. we
are strong believers in the enforcement
of laws. especially such as are designed
to prevent loss of life and property.
but the zeal that tumbles over itself
to do the proper thing only when 1t is
frightened into it, settling into abJect
apathy in times of uneventfulness,
doesn't amount to much in the long
run Like "hot love" it's soon cold
We have been living for years in ut
ter indifference to these laws; and yet
weren't they always wise and kind and
deserving of honor? We ought to have
learned sure and lasting lesson from
the terrible outcome of Chicago's sim
liar carelessness; but we can at least
accept the lesson sobArly and with
dignity.
We can surely go to work no and
enforce our public safety laws wiz put
a general industrial and social upha1v-
al, or a recourse to Mysteries.

The Olney boom was formally start
ed by the Massachusetts democrats
this week and everything seems lovely
and harmonious in the democratic
ranks. Mr.. Olney did himself proud
in his platform" speech at NeY York
last week and is winning considerable
popular favor both by his utterances
and by the modest and dignified way
in which he accepts the honor shown
him by his party. Mr.. Bryan is back
from foreign lands covered with glory
and offering no disturbing influence to
the party plans, but rather uplifting
them by his inslstence on a CON
science campaign"--an issue between
man and mammon" And back of all
these pleasing preparations sits Grover
Cleveland, a great, rich, reserve fund
for the party to draw upon if occasion
demands-a man whose eminent pub
lie service the people have forgotten to
criticise, in contemplation of his I'M
failing wisdom and dignity as a man.
Surely the democratic prospects are
propitious.

The new temperance newspaper, the
Barre Telegram, printed in its news
columns this week a despatch from
Washington, alleging that members of

suaded" on various issues with 'all ar
guments moral, spirituous and narcotic
that can be brought forth from vigorous
imaginations and well stocked buffets.'
Assuming of course, that the Tele-
gram would print nothing but anthem
tic reports, we wonder If it's going to
be fair and impartial and keep up this
sort of thing all through the meetings
of the different political parties during
the next campaign? Or will 1t practise
a fine discrimination in selecting its
Temperance" news? There is a wide
and ungarnered field in this line of
Journalism to work if the Telegram
thinks it worth while.

"Quoth the Raven"

The superstitiously inclined are
pointing Mr. Roosevelt to the fact that
the next national convention of the re-
publican party will be its thirteenth.
They add TO this--to them-sinister
fact the other fact that no vice presi-
dent who succeeded through the death
of his chief has ever been nominated
and elected president to succeed him
self These superstitious people feel
that this makes a combination that is
sure to result disastrously to the house
of Roosevelt If they add to this com
bination the other and well attested
fact that the people are growing rather
weary of words not backed up by deeds
they will have a resultant combination
which will indeed be hard to beat.
