.Under Southern. Skies played to
4 good house at the Grand Saturday
night, andwhile there were some rath-
or glazing faults in the acting, as q
whole, twas all right, and the audi
ence was wen pleased. The stage set.
tings, while not elaborate, were good.
The story is rather a sad one. though
there Is enough fun mixed in and the
ending Is such happy one that one
doesn't feel in the least depressed at
the close.
Miss Laura Oakman, who takes the
part Of Leila Crofton, was by far the
best actor in the cast. She was q
typical southern girl, full Of life and
sweet hospitality, and she won the
hearts Of her audience the moment
she made her appearance She Is a
beautiful girl, with a good deal Of
character in her face. Miss Gussie
Luria, as Amer Lizer, afforded the au7
dience an immense amount Of fun.
The old Southern gentleman was en-
tirely missing from the cast, though it
was attempted by no less than three
Of the actors and the soft drawl Of the
southern people was also absent. On
the whole, however, 1t was a good
show. and held ones close attention
from startto finish, and the sad scenes
brought tears to the eyes Of many:

COMMON SENSE.

Hearst's Boston American in a lead
ing editorial concerning automobiles,
printed largely in bold type, well says:
There should be no excuse whatever
FOR INJURING A YOUNG CHILD.
1t should be distinctly understood that
the child has a RIGHT to be in the street
or on the road 1t is the business of the
man in the automobile TO SEE THE
CHILD AND KEEP AWAY FROM
IT. 1t is no excuse to say that the child
iran in front of the machine"
1t is the business of the man in the
machine absolutely to keep away from
the child, to slacken speed, TO MAKE
SURE THAT HE Is NOT GOING
TO DESTROY A HUMAN LIFE
because he knows the child is young,
ignorant. timid and incompetent
A man killing child under any cir
cumstances whatever should go to Jail
for a length of time sufficient to impress
upon him the value of child's life. If
that was the rule, it would not be
necessary to impress upon automobile
drivers the fact that it is their business
to look out for children and not the
child's business to look out for them.
A childs ignorance or mischief does not
excuse murder.

FRATERNAL CONVENTION.

The Thirty Second Annual Conven-
ton Of the w. G. T. u, held in st.
Johnsbury. October II to IA inclusive,
was one of unusual interest. Reports
show good work done in most of the de-
partments of work taken up by this or
ganization.
Last year we won and have held the
National Banner for Soldiers and Sailors.
The work done by that department, was
mostly at Fort Ethan Allen. The Men,
orial hour was observed, sad, on account
of SO many tried and true who have
passed on to life eternal. Particular
mention of our dear Laura Moore and
Miss Richmond, who so recently have
left us for the better land. Great gain
was reported in Prohibition territory in
the west and south, ten counties in
one State going over to Prohibition.
God grant it may not be long before the
Flag may wave again over our beloved
State.
The election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: President, Mrs. l. II. Read; secre-
tary, G. +. Davidson; treasurer +. NJ.
Denny; recording secretary, A. A. Wy
man.
The convention was greatly helped by
the presence of our sisters from across
the sea.
The address by Miss Christian Timing
was fine and deserves greater mention.
The one by Miss Annie Swankie Gamer
on to the Us was full of good advice.
Our sister from Canada, the Worlds Sec
rotary of this organization Mrs. Rev. j..
&. Sanderson, added great interest to the
congregation as also did Mrs. Ellen
Richardson, president of n. II. The
work of Miss Elsie Pease and Miss Erich,
superintendent of Y. work must not be
omitted A large meeting of children
Sunday afternoon told of the good work
done.
The attendance was unusually good
throughout the entire meeting. All
Joined in praise for Caledonia county in
always standing firm for Prohibition,
and as being the birthplace of our pro-
NOTED leader, Frances E. Willard.
Two wreaths were brought to the con-
gregational by Mrs. Chesley, made from
cedar picked from the Willard farm in
Danville. They are to be sent to Nation
al and forwarded to Row Hill cemetery
at Evanston aud laid upon the graves of
Mr.. Willard, Mrs. Willard and daugh-
ter. The latter both being laid in one
grave.
The convention closed by singing
"Blest be the tie that binds"

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1905.

A few weeks since the Burlington Free
Press came out with an enthusiastic
editorial of encouragement to a Good
Roads scheme that was being exploited in
the State by benevolent parties from Mis-
souri,. The scheme was attacked by the
Register and one or two other papers, as
glaringly in the interest of outside parties.
The bubble was pricked, the thing fell to
pieces, and, as we understand, it was
afterwards proven that it was in the
interest of rubber and automobile trusts
What led the Burlington Free Press to
champion so evident humbug, we do
not know, but it certainly leads us to be
suspicious of its judgment
And therefore, not with surprise but
with very grave doubts, we notice that it
has come out again with a similar but
more carefully prepared editorial, eek
plotting Vermont Attractions" 1t SAYS
1.-The article is based upon the work
instituted by Representative Barden, of
Wallingford, looking to the organization
of State Improvement Society for the
purpose of exploiting the resources of our
State and inducing capital to develop
them"
Which may be all right, and we are
willing to suppose is, so far as Mr.. Bar
den is concerned. But with past expert
ence we are doubtful of the Free Press
editorial.
mn
Thus the fourth paragraph is, "Ver-
mont's failure to keep abreast with New
Hampshire and Maine, in the work of
securing outside capital and attracting
summer visitors is due in no small de-
gree to our neglect of the reasonable
legislative measures essential to the
encouragement of movement like that
contemplated"
If our Legislature passes law protect
ing the safety of our highways, as it is
very certain they intend to do. from the
remarkable cheering which they gave
to suggestion of that kind by Governor
Proctor in his inaugural address, they
will accomplish two purposes; first, one
of the most important of all things,
establishing safe highways for the use of
our own people; and second, a condition
resulting which will attract the largest
possible number of summer guests. For
there are hundreds of thousands of our
city friends who more than ANYTHING
else seek in summer a quiet country
home, and especially one free from
the dangers which of necessity connect
with the use of automobiles
Will the Free Press specify the legisa-
tive measures referred to in this para
graph?
Then follows this still more peculiar
paragraph
ut is to be borne constantly in mind
that the first work of State Improve
ment society must necessarily be the
framing the laws needed for the prosecu-
ton of its operations later on"
Possibly this advice is simply the re-
suit of want of good sense and sound
judgment But at time when vital
attempt is being made to rob our people,
as well as the people of the country
generally Of their highways, we cannot
be too careful of the nature of legislation
in the interests of outside parties.
Will the Free Press inform us how it
can tell what kind of laws it wants for
the prosecution of operations to be de-
cided later on?
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1906-10-19

ent automobile law so as to give towns
the right to decide upon what highways
automobiles may be permitted, is the
best possible for the carrying out of
the suggestion of Gov. Proctor's message,
which was so enthusiastically cheered,
of protecting certain highways from the
use of automobiles. This right of towns
we believe to be fundamental, and that
it would be so decided by our Supreme
Court, but such law passed by our
Legislature would make a test case
before the courts unnecessary, saving
much trouble and expense.
The great majority of the people of the
State will hope for the prompt passage
of this bill.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1906-10-19

This illustrates the rising sentiment
in regard to this nuisance of our city
friends. A very intelligent gentleman
from Philadelphia, who spent several
weeks at Broad Loaf this summer, said
that they were considering very seri-
ously shutting automobiles out from a
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1906-10-19

When this bill is put upon its passage,
in either house, its friends should not
fail to demand the yeas and nays, for the
whole of the State want to know, and
should know, how every member votes.
Our experience in every town where
petitions have been circulated, is, that
over nine-tenths of the voters seen are
anxious to have such law passed, and
we think this proportion would hold
good in the State as whole. In many
towns it would be practically unanimous.
Mr.. Clement chose to disregard this
almost universal feeling, and was buried
by the popular vote Nor do we believe
that any man who is opposed to the re-
lief which the people demand in this
matter, will ever be nominated by either
party to any high Office.

In the city, where children are play
ing in the streets, automobiles should be
run at very low speed all of the
time.
In very dusty country roads the driver
of an automobile should go slowly when
passing carriage or in passing women
and children on the side of the road.
A man may have FRIGHT" to throw
clouds of dust into the faces of other
human beings, but he is not fit for
human society if he exercises that
right.
The various automobile associations
should frame rules and enforce them.
They should use their influence to have
laws passed compelling automobiles to
respect the rights of citizens under pain
of forfeiting their licenses.
Such action on the part of automobile
owners will prevent other and much
more disagreeable action on the part of
the public.

The bill introduced by Representative
Cady, of Middlebury, amending the pres
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1906-10-19

Drivers of automobiles have no right to
BRIGHTEN ANYBODY. They have no
right to come so close to a carriage as
to brighten the people in it, They may
know, or THINK they know, that there
is no danger. But the elderly man or
woman in the carriage does NOT know
that. And it is as much of an outrage
to BRIGHTEN an old person as it is to
strike that person.
The same is true of elderly people on
feet. For an old man or an old woman,
the machine should be slowed down or
stopped, with plenty of warning and
plenty of room given. The man who
has so little consideration for age as to
terrify an old man or woman, no matter
how well he may know that there is no
physical danger, is NOT FIT TO
MANAGE AN AUTOMOBILE.
