FRIDAY, MAY II, 1906.

The following protest against the
monstrous crime by those using automo-
biles of stealing the highways of the
country and numbering thousands of
men, women and children, which if not
throttled soon will become the greatest
crime in history, is by the well known
correspondent of turf journals, and
prominent horse breeder, NJ. T. Grafton
of Preston, MINI.
The suggestion in it that the people
can have their way in this matter, if
they will unite and act, is absolutely
correct: and that the first step should be
TO withdraw patronage and support from
every journal and public man favorable
to such abuse of our roads, is eminently
in order.
Middlebury and Ripton stand today
where every town in the State should
stand, protecting their rights, and observ-
ing the law for the abatement of
nuisances; the only regret being that in
Middebury the amendment of Mr.. Chap
mdn was Hot PdSSeu' duIhoiiZins Ihe
selectmen to post other roads as they
thought best. But this is not neces-
sary. 1t is the duty Of every board of
selectmen in the State to post their roads
at once against the nuisance of automo-
biles, nor do we believe it possible for
towns to escape the payment of Ill
damages resulting from such neglect
should suit be brought.
Again MIR. Grattan well says: ''The
law does not require that an act of self.
defense be too late to be effective"

show at Rutland is at least favored if not
designed by Mr.. Clement, with the in
tention of thus humbugging the people
into the belief that present conditions
are all right.
If we are mistaken in this Mr.
Clement can easily set us right, and
we shall be pleased to publish a letter
from him, any letter that he wishes
to send, but especially one stating that
he is heartily in favor of the principle
that automobiles must have their own
roads, and will do all that he can for
its full and immediate accomplishment
in Vermont.
1t is perfectly futile for Mr.. Clement
or any candidate to stump the State
of Vermont at this time as an lnde-
pendent candidate for Governor, unless
he has determined to support the peoples
rights on this question, for the tide of
public opinion all over the country, and
indeed in Europe as well, is strongly
turning in the direction of efficient
regulation of automobiles and that must
mean soon, in the interest of ALL two
systems of roads.
Governor Stewart. who was in Europe
last summer, tells us that in Switzer-
land over the Simplon Pass, perhaps the
most renowned of all the Alpine passes,
automobiles are not allowed
1t remaines now for the people of
the State, the merchants, the farmers,
the artisans, those who have children,
hundreds of which over the country
have been murdered by these machines
in repeated instances before the eyes
of their parents-and those who have
not, to see that they vote for representa-
tives and senators of our next legislature,
who will not misrepresent them on this
question. And very soon the public
highways will belong again to the people
who built them, and can be used once
more in safety and comfort by the
women and children.

Automobile Accidents

We learn from Judge Flint of Bethel,
VT, that on recent Sunday the owner
of an automobile in his village started
out for run, the first one of the season
He stopped at the house of neighbor
and while his machine was standing still,
a gentleman with horse attempted to
drive past, when his horse became
frightened, ran away and the buggy was
wrecked, but fortunately the driver
escaped serious injury. This horse was
not supposed to be afraid of automobiles
as he was purchased in the city. After
this accident, the owner of the auto
started on his trip but before he got out
side the village limits he met another
team and that horse, which was an old
one and supposed to be perfectly safe,
ran away but did no serious damage.
OF course similar accidents might happen
in any town any day, where automobiles
are allowed upon the public highways,
and sooner or later, as in thousands of
cases over the country, one or more per-
sons will be killed or very seriously
injured. Isn't it full time that the select
men of the different towns prohibited
this nuisance on the highways? Failing
to do this we cannot see, if suit should
be brought, why any town would not be
held liable for damages.

good roads-one of his hobbies-so that
he can run his automobile to advantage.

The Menace Of the Automobile

To the Editor of The Trotter and PAGER
An irrepressible conflict between people

them for pleasure is in progress. Every

casualties equal those of war. Every
time one is obliged to risk an assault

same sentiments stir the breast that con-

determination, according to tempera-

their own roads, and exhibit in their own

such purposes only, everyone will wish

After Car Thieves.

James Owens, a driver for a Casper
drayman, pleaded guilty to petty lar
ceny in justice court there and was
fined $50 and costs. This is the first
action taken to suppress the robberies
which, it is alleged, have been COM
mitted by freight handlers in Casper
for the past several months and a SEN
sation is promised when other suspects
are arrested.
Owens had several small articles in
his possession, but large quantities of
merchandise have disappeared from
cars in the railroad yards and one car
load of stovewood mas been stolen.
Railroad detectives are at Casper and
are working on the case with the local
officers. Many private residences have
been searched in an attempt to locate
stolen property, but NO developments
have as yet been made public.

Issues UItimatum.

James Murdoch, fourth vice presi
dent of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trimmer, last night issued an ulti-
matum to all of the railroads centering
at New York, with the exception Of the
New York Central and the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroads
that unless the yard employees are
granted an increase Of wages of 5 cents
an hour by tomorrow they will be with
drawn from the service of the roads.
About 5000 men are affected. Mr..
Murdoch's ultimatum was the result
of a conference with the local officers
of the brotherhood. Most Of the roads
affected have offered a Accent increase.
The New York Central and the New
Haven roads granted the 5-cent raise
some days ago.

day at Chicago with managers of all
railways systems in the west. The
demands cover AZ, 900 men on forty

The railroads covered in the pro-
posed demand include the Illinois Cen

the south. All roads west of a line
from Chicago to Duluth on the north
are included.
