motor cars disintegrate all roads except
the highest class. Much of the heavy
class of motor traffic of England cities
is business and profit making traffic,
such as omnibuses and other passenger
vehicles. In South Kensington, a part
Of London, the tax rate has declined
$25, 900 in six months owing TO the
vibration and noises, dangers and poi
sonous gases from this traffic. 1T is
clearly unthinkab that such evils can
be tolerated"
1t will be seen, from this brief sum-
mary of long and able magazine ar
ticle, which itself is "A summary of three
important public reports on motor car
traffic, that Great Britain takes very
serious view of the evils and dangers
of the automobile. Neither of these
reports give any definite solution of the
question however, but 1t seems to be
clear that something must be done.

Make an APPROPRIATION.

Among the important measures yet to
come before the the legislature is the
house bill No. 264 an act to provide for
the participation of the state of Vermont
at the ter-centennial exposition to be held
on or near Hampton Roads, Va, in the
year 1907. This bill provides for the ap
pointment by the governor of "A COM
mission not to exceed five members to be
known as the Vermont commission to
the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposi
ton, the governor to be member and
president of the commission. The pur.
pose of the bill is to secure a full exhibit
Of the resources of the state and also of
the history of the state showing what
has been done in the upbuiding of the
Cover nment from the days of its earlieCt
beginning to the present time. The bill
authorizes the commission in their dis
erection to erect building on the exposi-
ton grounds of such character and size
as will best serve the interests of the
state.
This proposed commemoration of the
first English settlement in the United
States should be of especial interest to
the people of Vermont, it is asserted
preceding as it does by brief period the
ter-centennial of the discovery of Lake
Champlain by the great French explorer,
Samuel de Champlain. The settlement
of jamestown in 1907 and the entrance
of Champlain upon the waters of the
lake bearing his name are historical
events so closely connected as to unite
Virginia and Vermont in bonds of sym
pathy and historic association.
The United States government has APP
propriated 81 575, 900, and the state of
Virginia $4,000 for the exposition.
All of the New England states with
the exception of Vermont and New
| Hampshire have made appropriations,
and the buildings of Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, Connecticut and Maine
are nearing completion 1t only remains
FOR the Green Mountain and Granite
states to fall in line to make the group
complete, and it is hoped that Vermont
will vie with its sister states in making a
comprehensive exhibit of its vast wealth
of resources.

an official whose duty it is to correct
such abuses. The officer charged with
the enforcement of the law for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals is bound to
attend to the betterment or extinction of
these intractions on the comfort of the

be prevented by recourse TO the laws if
they persist in their wrong doing in this

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 90, 1906.

We copy the following from the Bur
lington News of November 49, 1t is a
valuable contribution to the automobile
discussion, and forcibly illustrates the
fact. which we believe will soon become
evident to all, that the only possible solu-
ton of this question is for automobiles
to have their own roads; any attempt
to regulate their Use upon the highways
inevitably resulting in failure.
We are also gratified to see that so
able newspaper as the Burlington
Daily News recognizes the importance
of this subject, and is helping to
discuss it. In doing this, it will UNI
questionably gain prestige, character and
circulation. For. as the Register has
said before, the people in this crisis
need the assistance of every Yer
mont paper, have a right to expect it,
and do expect it. Nor can we see how
any newspaper can afford not to give
it; still less, how they can afford to go
on the wrong side:
Vermont is not alone in its trouble
with motor cars. The kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland is also in the throes
of an excited discussion on the question:
The English people take the ground in
a general way that automobiles have no
common law rights worth mentioning:
and that for the comfort and safety of
the people they must be regulated by
legislation. To show the general power
of the lawmaking body over vehicles
writer in the Quarterly Review. to
whom we are indebted for the facts in
this article, says: I'm the era of toll
gates,l for instance, it was legal to i'm.
pose rates of toll which were practically
prOhibitory." He cites specific instances
and then calls attention to the first En-
glish legislation in 1896 in regulation of
au tomobiles, which made the maximum
speed fourteen miles an hour. This was
followed by great increase in motor
cars, so much that in 1903 new l. pis
lation was demanded, but after a fight
f or limited speed or no limit. an act was
passed with twenty mile limit. The
author of that bill alluded to "the dis

Thus it is shown that the utter disre-

motorists.
These abuses and others brought the
question to the breaking point again
and Royal Commission was appointed
to advise regarding new legislation for
this year. The English writer discusses
the road question and the destructive.

SOME GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES.

New York Mail. -
 The United States Board on Geo. graphic Names has done q number of foolish things. such as abolishing all possessive case marks, thereby turning Kings Highway Into Kings Highway. and Bills Luck into Billsluck. and so on, in violation of the plain significA- ton of words. But some things are to be placed to It's credit. It is not an enemy of the jaws of the American people To illustrate: In New Hamp- shire there is beautiful stream flowing from the north into the Souhegan RiV- CT in Hiilsboro county. This stream. of- ticially, has borne an Indian name which has been spelled variously in the following manners: Quohquinapassa- kessamanagnog, Quonquinapassake nanagnog, napassakesananna quog and Quoh-quinpa- passa-Kessa-n ma nag-nog. How 1t is pronounced nobody who lives away from the banks of the Quohquinna. etc., has the slightest This verbal testimony to the lingual athleticisim of the aborlgine has been wiped out. The Board on Geographic Names has changed the title of Quoh- quinnapassakessam to Beaver Brook. which is commonplace but pro- nounceable.
 So far as we are aware. the same service has not yet been performed for several lakes and rivers of New Eng land which seem to require the atten- tion of the board. There is, for instance Lake Chaubunagungamaug, the authen- tic title of a beautiful lake in southern Massachusetts near the Connecticut line. In Maine, the noble red man still inflicts nomenclatory revenge upon his eXterminators. The hunter and camper have to inquire theIr way, if they can, to Chinquassabumtook, Mole chunkamunk, Mooselookmaguntic, Um- bazooksus, Pattagumpus, Sisladobss and other similarly named places It would be a pity to obliterate any pro- nounceable or really authentic Indian name, anywhere in the country, but when it is remembered that most of these names are barbarous corruptions of the Indian designations. which shamelessly libel the aboriginal da- lects, the motive for clinging to them disappears
 But if the Board on Geographic Names is justified in occasionally changing a degenerated Indian appella- tion into plain English one. it ought if it could, to reverse the process and bestow euhhonious Indian designations upon certain places which now by utterly squalid and barbarous English titles; Skunk Creek, s. D.; Dog Creek Ind. Cat, Ark: Pig, Ky: Shantytown. Wis. Bad Egg. N. C.; Big Bug Ariz. {; Big Patch. Wis. and a few similarly entitled places may be quite as Area dian in appearance as their names are not, but surely there must be some nat ural featurein the neighborhood, even If the aborigines left no trace. which would supply a more romantic designa- tiOO.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-02-27

The Portland Oregonian suggests a political possibility in that State that may. or might, cause some complica- tions if certain contingencies arise They are to have a primary election in June at which a United States Sena- tor is to be elected, or selected. Now. suppose the nominee of the primary should be Democrat and a majority of the Legislature are Republicans, would the latter effect the man select cd? If the nominee is a Republican and the Democrats should control the legislature The oregonian doesn't be- lieve that body would elect the nomi- nee. but we do not balieve that Dent ocratic Legislature would be more like ly to ignore the choice of the people than a Republican Legislature would. In either case 1t would be clearly within the power of the Legislature to set aside the man chosen in the primary and elect another man. Perhaps it wouldn't be fair. but 1t would be legal and political.
