AUTOMOBILE LEGISLATION,

We publish, in another column, very
excellent letter from Judge Jesse John
son, distinguished iurist, of Brooklyn,
N. Y, regarding automobile legislation.
Judge johnson is a native of Bradford,
VT, and has fine summer residence
across the river from Bradford in New
Hampshire. He shows in his letter the
natural interest, which all true Yer
monters always feel, toward their native
State. The letter is very able one and
we think will be well received by all
who read it, and especially by our Legis-
lators, at least three quarters of whom,
we believe, are in full sympathy with
Judge johnson in this matter.
We noticed that the General Com
mittee reported an automobile bill on
Tuesday, whether melted so to do by
Judge Johnson's letter which was pub
lished on Monday, we do not know.
This bill does not reflect at all the feeling
of our State on this question, but instead
the very opposite, being entirely and
expressly in the interests of the automo-
bile manufacturers; advising among
other things that automobiles be per-
mitted to run on the country roads at
the rate of 25 miles an hour; and this in
the face, too, of the horrible accident
that happened at Springfield Mass, on
Tuesday of last week, by which Yer
mont woman was horribly mangled, dy
ing soon after in hospital, because an
automobile WaS running % miles an hour.
The people of the State will unquestion-
ably be far more in sympathy with the
remark made in great earnestness by ex-
Gov. Stewart, when reading of this hor-
rible accident, that "no automobile
should ever be permitted to run in the
streets of any city or any village at a
greater speed than four miles an hour"
This report of the Committee has
been long delayed, as long as DOS
sible, and probably is brought out at this
time only because of the fear that the
automobile bills would be taken out of
their hands. And it is evident, as it has
been for weeks, that this Committee does
not at all represent the people of Yer
mont, but instead the automobile lobby
and the automobile interests. Whether
this accounts for the fact that the auto
mobile bills were referred to this COM
mittee instead of the proper committee
of Highways and Bridges we do not
know. But it certainly looks as if all
of this had been premeditated and ar
ranged by the automobile lobby.
We make no doubt that the bill re-
ported by the General Committee in
the House, will be promptly killed, and
we hope tins will be done by a yea and
nay vote. For we do not believe it pos
sible that the stalwart Yoemanry of Yer
mont, when their attention is aroused to
it, will be hoodwinked, betrayed or
driven by any automobile lobby, or any
other possible lobby that may exist in
the United States. They will follow
their Governor, and see that the interests
of the people of the State are looked
after, the comfort and safety of their
homes, instead of the profits of automo-
bile manufacturers or automobile trusts.

IStar in ''Zira," the strong emotional
drama.l
and professional standing, which gives
rise to the complaint that she is not
capable of human sympathy and emo
ton.
Higher education, culture and the
broader life that has been opened to
women in the last quarter century
have done more toward the develop
ment of real human sympathy and
feeling than all the artificiality and
affectation of the years before.
When 1 speak of higher education
I do not necessarily mean the accumu-
lation of a lot of college degrees in
dead languages or mathematics.
By the woman of higher education
and culture 1 mean one whose intel
lect has broadened by her life of train
ing and whose mind has been able to
comprehend and digest the facts which
education has placed before her. A
woman with keen sensibilities and a
well trained mind, a woman of strong
intellectually, despises the gushing
display of feeling. If the charge of
GOODNESS is brought against her it
should be with a word of thankfulness.
Lack of feeling is so often hidden by
the disguise of hysterical protestation
and gushing emotionalism that women
of culture and refinement shudder at
the thought of being placed in the
same category.
There is no reason why the hottest
of emotions should not be rational, nor
Is there any reason why woInan's
power of feeling be placed upon the
basis of absence of higher education.
The drama which reflects the emo
lions of real life is not confined to the
realms of the untutored to find its ex-
amples of great emotions.
Higher education cannot kill real
feeling in woman Sympathy, love
and affection do not need primitive or
elemental expressions to be sincere.

Gushing Display Of Feeling
Despised as artificial BY
Cultured People.
By MARGARET ANGLIN,

The claim has been made that high
er education for women chills the heart
in livening the intellect, that the devel
opment of the intellect along the path
ways of culture and higher thinking
makes women cold and cynical in re
gard to human emotions.
We are told that the unprecedented
college woman is incapable of being
swayed by the same deep feelings as
the child of nature who knows not the
meaning of psychology and TO whom
ethics and the subtleties of philosophy
are reduced to the primitive cOncep-
ton of right and wrong.
/ doubt this very much. The woman
OF high education or the professional
woman feels the same forces swaying
her, but she knows how to control
them.
What higher education and the pro-
fessional life do for woman. however,
Is to eradicate the ostentatiOus displa Y
Of feeling so long regarded as neces-
sary for the ''wOmanly woman"
The power TO repress the emotions
has no effect upon the ability to ex-
perience them. Convention and good
breeding necessitate self restraint, but
the woman who can control her feel
in2s and whose breeding and educa-
ton have taught her that unnecessary
display of feeling is vulgar expert
ences them just the same.
1t is this poise of the woman of cul-
ture and intellect, of business ability

Clubs and Tipping.

In clubs the best service is obtained
where tipping is forbidden. In poorly
conducted clubs tipping is allowed, but
in the best conducted ones a. member
found guilty of tipping servant would
be liable to expulsion. The majority
of clubs In America are luxuries.
Wines, food and tobacco cost as much
in them as in fashionable restaurants.
In these Gibbs, which have little reason
for existence, tipping is permissible
But in England the club is not a lux
ury. but an economy. The English
founded the club, and an Englishman
is clubman because he can get at his
club a good dinner. a good bottle of
wine and a good cigar at less than half
the price he would pay at the Carlton
or the Trocadero. In no English club
Is tipping ever countenanced. Men
have been expelled from English clubs
for habituai tipping. In many Ameri-
can clubs it has been found that a no
tipping rule, on the whole, bettered the
service.

INDIvIDUALISM VS.. SOCIALISM
Continued From Page Nine.)

deserved oGium, ana it Delooves the
individualist to address himself ener-
getically to this problem in order that
the advantages of competition may be
restored to industry. And the duty of
immediate action is made more imper-
alive by the fact that the socialist is
inclined to support the monopoly, in
the belief that it will be easier to in
duce the government to take over an
industry after it has passed into the
hands of Il few men. The trust mag
mates and the socialists unite in de-
claring monopoly to be an economic
development, the former hoping to re-
tain the fruits of monopoly in private
hands, the latter expecting the ulti-
mate appropriation of the benefits of
monopoly by the government. The in
dividualist, on the contrary, contends
that the consolidation of industries
ceases to be an economic advantage
when competition is eliminated. and
advantage which could come from the
monopolization of all the industries in
the hands of the government could
compensate for the sitting of individ-
ual initiative and independence. And
the individualiSts who thus believe
stand for morality and for a system
of ethics which they are willing to
measure against the ethics and moral
ity of socialism.
