those inside either killed or most seri-
ously injured.
But there does not appear to be any
reason for more discussion. In the first
place the great body of the people
throughout the State are practically
agreed upon this matter. They are not
going to permit automobiles to terrorize
our highways much. longer. We do not
know of a single exception in our locality.
In other localities the question may
not have been as much discussed, but it
will be soon, and as fast as it is fully
understood, the conclusion must be the
same.
And in the next the decision of Judge
Wheaton acts as a searchlight upon the
whole subject, showing that the relief
for the automobilists, and their only
possible relief, is with the Legislatures in
a law granting them necessary privileges
to build their own roads.
For if corporation, as that of turn
pike, in the exercise of sound judgment
may prevent the use of their road by au-
tomobiles; the corporation of a town, ex-
ercising similar sound judgment, may
do the same. There can be no possible
question in regard to this. But the
power to act in such cases is in the
nature of duty, and its neglect plainly
carries with it responsibility for damages.
This would be especially true of towns
because of the statute which requires
them to remove all nuisances from their
highways.
This liability of towns is pointed out
in the article of the Horse Breeder, and
there can be no question that if towns
longer neglect their duties in this respect
they will be sued for damages, should
any occur.
In the meantime all the towns in the
State should have such roads posted
against the use of automobiles as would
be especially dangerous if so used-or
the whole Of them if necessary. The
500 automobiles in Vermont can re.
main at home until they have roads
whilst all those people from other
States who want Co visit us, must con.
form to our way of travel.

The Automobile Nuisance Upon
the Highway Approsching Its
End.-Towns Clearly Liable for
All dents.-Necessity for Inn
mediate Action Lessons of
Judqe Wheaton's Decision.

Our neighbor of the Middlebury
Register seems to be suffering from an
extreme case of autophobia. The fact
that the editor of this paper owns an
automobile seems to the Register
abundant cause for our editorial attitude
on the fad-notion of separate highways
for the motor cars. This doesn't figure,
one way or the other; the question
comes to whether or not the Registers
proposition is practical.
At the outset, it goes on the false
supposition that motor cars are des-
troying Juggernauts and always will be,
quoting in defence of that fantastic
notion statistics from everywhere else,
almost, excepting right round home,
where everyone is interested.
Tell us something about the men,
women and children, neighbor, ground
to an awful death in Vermont That's
what we are interested in.
AS the horse gets used to the
auto, the machine will cease to be an
acknowledgements Enterprise.
This doesn't require any answering
unless it is to say that the Register is
trying to prevent the grinding to an
awful death men, women and children
in Vermont This is perfectly sure to
occur if vehicles, propelled by other than
animal power, are permitted permanently
to use our highways.
1t is impossible that highways can be
used with safety or comfort by the two
methods of travel, automobiles and
vehicles propelled by animal power,
certainly any highways that we have or
can afford to have. and this is so plain to
the Register that it has but little patience
with those who would ignore it. 1t
does not seem to us possible that any
person with sonnd Judgment can fail
to realize it.
Thousands of accidents are occur
ing over the whole country every
week, from this cause; many of them
fatal; more resulting in broken limbs
and fractured skulls; others in bruises
more or less serious. and destruction
of property. Conditions are growing
worse and must grow worse so
long as the two sort of vehicles
continue to use the same roads.
For the numbers off the automobiles are
constantly increasing, and so also their
possible rate of speed. We noticed
yesterday a flaming advertisement in
the Boston Globe of a large automobile
that would be put upon the market next
summer capable of going two miles
in a minute. OF course in the long
run Vermont must suffer her share
of the accidents. Probably no State
thus far has had fewer Of these
nuisances than Vermont, but there are
enough already to emperil the safety
damage the property, destroy the com
fort, and interfere seriously with The
business interests, of nearly all of oul
citizens.
The talk about horses getting used t
them is entirely in the interests of tn,
automobiles, and is not true. This every
horseman knows, and indeed any MAJ
with ordinary common sense knows it
For the instinct of self-preservation i
implantedsstrongly in all animals as il
in man. That is, all animals have intelli
gence as well as man, and perhaps non
after man more than the horse. But tn

COURT AFF|RMS 4.
REGENT DECREE
Date for Issuance Of Mandate III
Northern Securities Suit
Fixed for April 18TH.
{By Associated 1'ress.)

H
WASHINGTON, April ain tho SUI
preme Court of tho United States today
Ethc chief Justice handed down the opinion
of the court IN the case Of Hartman vs..
fthe Northern Securities Company, tho
decision In which cnsn WIS announced
several weeks ago. The motion for the
Immediate issuance Of the mandate was
denied, the date for Issuance being nxcti
for April nth After stating the case
at length, the chief Justice said:
"1n the present case coinplanants seek
the return Of property delivered to the
Securities Company pursuant to oil, exc
cutcd contract Of sale On the ground Of
the illcgallty OF that contract, but tho
record dlscloses 10 special considerations
of equity, Justice or public which would
justify the courts in relaxing the rigor
OF the rule which bars n recovery.
ut is clear enough that the delivery
to eonlplainants OF Il majority Of tho
total Northern Pacific stock and d iatabe
distribution OF the remaining assets to
the other Securities stockholders would
not only be in itself ineuuitnblc. but
would directly contravene the object of
the Sherman law and the purposes of the
government suit.
Si'Doubtless 1t became the duty OF the
Securities Company to end situation
that had been adjudgcd unlawful, and
this could be effected by sale and gdistrl-
