Election of Selectmen.

Twenty miles an nour is an out
rageous speed to be permitted upon our
highways by any vehicle. But this is
permitted to automobiles by the law
passed last fall, unless the towns, through
their selectmen. make other regulation
The citizens of every town in Addison
County should bear this in mind at their
annual town meeting, and choose for
selectmen only those that may be relied
upon to do all in their power to protect
the people in this matter
1t is most extraordinary that the great
majority of the people of Vermont should
be called upon to do this, but it would
appear that the wishes of few wealthy
men in the State, who have bought auto.
mobiles, and the weather. trusts out of
the State who make them, have been
able thus far to pass legislation contrary
TO the wishes, and detrimental to the in
terests, of over nine-tenths of the people
Of the State.

Overlooking The Rails.

A paragraph in Senator Elkins' recent
report on railroad operations may furnish
a clew to the cause of certain accidents
which have appalled, the country during
the past few months. The report points
out that railway equipment is much larg-
err and heavier than formerly. Ordinary
day coaches are being constructed with
steel frames, Pullman cars are heavier
than ever, and locomotives are enormous
ly heavier. 1t is true that rails have
been made heavier, also, but it is POS
sible that the increased weight of trains
is proportionately greater than the
strength Of the rails. With trains larger.
longer. and heavier than ever, and with
speed pushed to the limit of the engines
capacity in the attempt to overwork the
equipment, it is not surprising that acct
dents occur. 1t is rather surprising that
there is not an incessant string of acct
dents.
There is a temporary protest against
running such fast trains as the Pennsyl-
maugh River the other night. But too
much weight should not be laid upon
public objections to high speed, imme.
diately following accidents. The railroads
run high-speed trains in response to the
public demand, and these trains are liber-
ally patronized. The public, in other
words, is willing to run the risk of dis
aster for the sake of saving few hours
time, relying upon the railroad manage
ment to protect it. The managers can
not escape responsibility by declaring
that great speed is demanded. They
must be the judges of the limit of safety.
The public does not know what the rails
will stand, and does not care, so long as
no accidents occur. 1t relies upon the
railroad managers to look after such mat
ters. The managers, therefore, must
bear the blame if they overload the rails
and run to excess in speed schedules. In
these days of crowded tracks it might be
wisdom on the part of the railroad man.
ayers if they would modify their fast
schedules and redouble their precautions
against accidents, even at the risk of re.
ceiving an occasional protest from speed
maniacs. a little more assurance OF
safety would be grateful to the great ma
jority of the travelling public. Washing

Town Meeting.

AS the Register has before suggested it
is important that all voters, if able, should
be present at our annual town meeting
next Tuesday, so that we may have the
full expression of public opinion, on the
very important matter of license or no
license, and also upon other questions of
general public interest
The town government is a pure democ-

the place where every legal voter may
express his opinion on questions Of pub
lie policy. 1t is not only his privilege,
but his duty, to do all in his power to
secure the highest degree of moral and
intellectual development as well as the
material prosperity of his fellow citi-

The Deadly Street Car.

If along every mile of street railway
in the United States a heads:one were
raised for every death by accident, the
routes we daily travel would resemble
one long drawn-out cemetery.
Within the limits of Greater New York
the total number killed last year rose to
227. For every person killed a number
are injured. some of them crippled for
life. That this slaughter and manning is
criminally needless is sufficiently at
tested by single fact:
In all London in the last year of record
1903 the total number killed was ten.
According to the royal traffic commits
sion, the tram cars of London for 1908
carried 405.079, 209 passengers. The total
traffic of Greater New York last year
was little over l $1,000, 900 passengers
carried. These figures, however, include
subway and elevated traffic, while the
records for London do not. But even on
the basis of a comparison of traffic, the
number killed in London is equivalent to
about 81, against about 227 for Greater
New York. And this is no exceptional
instance.

almost every other large city in America.
