FRIDAY, MARCH 80, 1906.

We congratulate the town of Ripton
in getting entirely rid of the infinite
nuisance of automobiles upon their high
ways, and Middlebury the same upon its
principal highway. A very little cour-
age rids a town in a few minutes of
the most annoying and dangerous con-
trivance which has ever entered upon
our public roads, a menace to all who
desire to use them for the purposes for
which they were built.
We understand this monstrous outrage
against the rights, property and other
wise, of very large part of the popula-
ton of the country, was matter of
accident, for this new motive power
came suddenly and no one knew what
its nature was, or whether or not it
could be properly used upon our high
ways. But as the true conditions are
understood, either those using automo-
biles should refuse to do so, unless or
until, they can have their own roads;
or if they do not voluntarily respect
the lives and property and rights of
others, they should be made to respect
them.
Let each town assert its right, both
fundamental and legal, of protecting
its public roads go that they shall be
safe and comfortable for the use of
those for whom they were built, and
by whom they were built. There are
none who will modest the towns in doing
this-none who can modest them. And
there is no good reason, no reason at all,
why they should hesitate an instant to
thus protect themselves. Just as in
Ripton and the principal highway in
Middlebury, this nuisance is entirely
removed by a few minutes action of
the citizens, SO it can be in every town
in the state.
Our Legislature would have as much
right to license people to occupy our
homes, and cultivate our gardens, as
to license them to monopolize and terror
ize our highways. Any such action is
dependent upon its acceptance by the
towns, who can throw up the highways
If they want to, and of course If they
can throw them up can regulate their
use, and, indeed, are made responsible
by long standing laws to do this.
We hope, then, that every town tina,
suffers, will act and act at once And
let every town see that its representative
next fall, and especially every county
its State SENATOR and the whole people
their candidates for governor or lieu
tenant governor, are pledged. to enact
a law, under proper regulations, per
hitting Automobiles to build, their owr
roads, and providing that they shall no,
use any highways in the State, except
by special permission of the town in
which they are situated at a properly
called town meeting.

time was working on the generals house,
very near the private track where Fanny

The latter was rangy aud speedy horse,

r. s. BENEDICT
A N o BILE Life.


In the death, on March 10, of Mrs.
Henrietta NJ Parker, of Whiting, a long
and beautiful life comes to close and the
town of Whiting mourns the loss of one
of its choicest spirits. Born II years ago,
descended from one of the oldest families
of New England, with patriotic and pioneer
blood running in her veins, she was endowed
with noble qualities of mind and heart. In
her life were blended, in a rare degree, the
sturdy virtues and the mlder graces. Com
bined with broad intelligence, gentleness
of spirit, childlike faith, and loyalty to truth
and duty distinguished her.
For the long space of haf-a-century her
home has been among us and her life has
been blessing and an uplift to US all. She
became early identified with all good causes;
consistent Christian life was hers; she was
an active member and worker in the Con-
gregational church, charter member of the
Ladies Aid society, and ministering angel
to all in time of sorrow and need. This
woman was full of good works and aims deeds
which she did was literally true of Mrs.
Parker. Her loss will be keenly felt, not
only by her immediate family and friends
but by this entire community and by all who
knew her. Only the heavenly records can
fully tell the influence and power of her
gracious sweet life.
We part from her with sorrow; the tear
of love and friendship we would let fall.
She has left earths activities to engage in
higher service in the heavenly places. She
has heard the glad We'll done" from the
lips of Him whom she served long and
faithfully, but her influenced still remains.
Through the coming years the perfume of
her life will increase in fragrance and will
live anew in other lives uplifted and ennobled
by her presence Dear friend, farewell
Called to realms of Glory
She left her earthly abode
Gone to be with the Saviour,
Relieved of lifes weary load.
Her lips are forever silent,
Folded the helpful hands;
But her spirit still blends with ours,
United by Loves strong bands.
In grief we bow our heads,
Ours the tears and sorrow;
But e'er long we'll be united,
In the bright, eternal morrow.
