Big Liquor Raid at Sunderland.

One of the biggest raids ever car
ried out in Bennington county was
that Saturday afternoon by Deputy
Sheriff NJ j. Convey on the saloon
of Edward Morrisey and Patrick
Cullinan OF Sunderland. Three wag-
on loads of 'fxings," valued at 81 :
500 were seized. The men were ar
raigned before Justice Edwin Graves
of Sunderland, charged with selling
liquor illegally and were bound over
to await the action of county court
which meets the first Tuesday in
December. The penalty provided,
if the. are convicted, lis a fine of
$500 for each sale. They have been
doing business since early in June
1t is alleged that Patrick Guilt
nan and Edward Morrisey of Ar
lington bargained with NJ. Pike to
take the license for the sale of liq-
uor. They were to conduct the
business, the goods being shipped
in Pixies name and the empty bot
ties and other articles being sent
back under their own names.
The law makes it illegal for non
resident to sell liquor in Sunder-
land. Rev. Mr.. McCready, pastor
of the Baptist Church at Man
chester, interested himself in the
matter, which was later taken up by
Attorney Clarence j. Ferguson,
president of the state Anti Saloon
League. He secured infoi nation
which resulted in the issuance of
warrants. The deputy sheriff drove
to the place Friday, but found one
team not enough and sent for two
others TO carry away the "6xings "
1t is alleged that the opening
day. business of the saloon amount
ed to SITS and that if the fine of
$500 for each offepse committed is
imposed, the sum would amount to
$4,000
Edward Pike, father of the Ii
censee, furnished bail of 5000 for
the men.

Vermn1t in l790

An interesting documen is on file
in the office of the Vermont Mutual
Insurance Company in Montpelier
regarding the standing of Vermont
in the first census of the United
States.
The first census IN the country
was taken in the year 1890. and
although Vermont bad not been adj
mitted to the Union as a state, she
was one of The settlements to lie in
cluded in the census of that year.
Vermont then had more inhabi-
tants than either Rhode Island,
Delaware, Kentucky OF Georgia,
and in those states there was a large
centage of slaves. Vermont had
no slaves and only 16 free colorcd
persons Her total population WAS
SIS ,425, of which 1872 resided in
Windham county.

A New Railroad Assure !.

The construction of new rail-
road between Manchester and
Granville, n Y is now assured by
the Metowee Valley Railroad Co,
which will absorb the Manchester,
Dorset x Granville road and carry
the line on to Granville This road.
built several years ago reached only
to the Norcross and West qnarries
at South Dorset and extended over
only six of the thirty two miles be
Manchester and Granville Thus
it failed to relieve the res dents of
Dorset, Pawlet and Rupert from
the necessity of driving many miles
to reach the railroad
What has been desired all alohs
is conflicting lihk between thG
Rutland railroad at Manchester;
and the Delaware * Hudson at
Granville, which would tap rich
freight and passenger district.
The constant agitation of The resi-
dents of the towns interested re-
Gently took the form of meeting,
which led to the formation Of a
stock company.

Protective Order O. Elks in Phila-
delphia, Tuesday was marred by
prostration from heat of many per-

Bail Not Accepted.

A brief session of Windham
county court was held at Newfane
Friday to dispose of some criminal
cases. Frank Inman, a Tennessee
negro, recently arrested on a charge
of larceny from Bellows Falls res
idence, pleaded guilty and was sem
fenced to not less than two or more
that two and one-half years in the
state prison at Windor. In the
case of J NJ. Ryder, of Bellows
Falls, convicted of malpractice, ST.
600 bail was required. The amount
was offered but the court refused to
accept in considering the surety not
entirely safe Sentence was sus-
pended pending the position of
exceptions, to the October term of
supreme court.

the voyage instead of herding them
like sheep in the saloon after the
steamer reaches her dock. Then
there will be an entire rearrange-
ment of the inspection service on
the dock in New York and the re-
suit will be that the whole inquisi-
ton will be finished in half the time
and with quarter of the profanity
that has always marked the incom-
ing of the trans Atlantic liners.
One of the few changes of recent
years in the State Department has
been the organization this week of
an Oriental Bureau This will have
to do with all far eastern problems,
Chinese and japanese treaties, trade
relations and immigration questions.
It will be under two heads who
have served in the far East and
who read and speak Japanese and
Chinese perfectly. 1t will be the
first time the government has ever
had such a bureau, and it is be-
1ieved it will tighten the work of
the DEPARTMENT materially.

Water Question Up Aga n.

A petition was presented to the
V l age bailiffs Thursday afternoon
requesting them 10 call spt cial vii
lage meeting to act on the question
of buying the two water systems
owned and held by George E.
Crowell. Thus the water question,
which has stirred the voters of the
village two or three years, is before
the public again
The legislature of 1906 passed an
act whereby the village might offer
Mr. Crowell $26O,000 for his two
systems within one year and might
have the right to install an indie
pendent and competing system pro-
vided Mr.. Crowell refused to ac-
cept the offer. 1t provided that
the village should not install an in
dependent system uni IS it first
offered to buy the existing systems
for the sum named. The special
meeting will vote on the question of
offering S26O,OOO for the present
systems, and if it votes to buy it
will elect water board of not more
than twelve members and not less
than five members.
The warrant also will contain an
article to see if the village will au-
thorize the water board to spend
not more than 100000 in extending
and completing the systems, also an
article relating to the issuing of
bonds not to exceed $3.50 900.

What Others Say.
Editor Sitter:

Editor Sitter:
In reply to your courteous COM
ments upon my open letter to Mr..
Battell in regard to the use of our
highways for automobiles, [ would
say that the fact that [ have ridden
upon them has given me better OPP
portunity to Judge Ct their workings;
and more fully convinced me that
they are unsafe for the ordinary
horse, with the ordinary driver up
on the ordinary highway.
Possibly you are influenced some
what from the fact that your place
of residence is out of the main route
for the stream of touring cars which
are rushing across the mountains
from the big watering places upon
the west side to the White Mount
aims.
For the small home runabouts
driven by parties residing near US
who have their reputation at stake,
the objections do not so strongly ap-
ply. But for the SO horse power
touring cars which rush through
MANY of our villages in a steady
stream, there can be only one YER
dict by the calm and disinterested
observer.
Is the fact that YOU heA of no &C
cident in your vicinity decisive in
this matter? Is the question to be
decided wholly upon the point of
personal safety to life and limb :?
Has the fact that in order to insure
this safety there is an immense
amount of deprivation and inconven-
fence no bearing in the matter? Is
not the fact that large part of the
pleasure travel is cut off and that
the wife and child can no longer
drive the old family turnout to
church or post Office, worthy of
some consideration l?
The condition of affairs is patent
to all. When big touring car is
met upon the ordinary road there is
only one process to be gone through
. the team takes the ditch, the car
takes the road. No prudent head
of household will trust his wife or
child with the reins under such con-
ditions. And he don't trust them,
hence your Failure to hear of acct
dents in your vicinity
When our friends from abroad
call for team we can't give it to
them unless they will accept two
seated rig with driver, skilled and
cal eful-the accommodation being
lessened and the expense heightened.
When the machine overtakes the
team, does it pass, or attempt to pass,
in the ordinary way ? Not bit of
it, The toot behind says ssClear the
track, give the road" and as it goes
rushing by, there is not even word
of thanks to the driver houndering
in the mud and stones of the ditch. |
And then the stencil! Should I |
traverse the town in my buggy, and
leave such nauseating trail behind
me. I should we'll be complained of
Even as I write these few lines,
three of these monsters, breathing
of the fumes of the devil have
passed my door. You can call it
playing 10 the galleries if please,
but [ still raise my hands in pro-
test against this selfish, unmanly in
human use of our highways, de-
signed and built chiefly for the use
of one of the noblest ami nails which
the Lord has created for our serv-
ice.

Old Home Week is near. The
latchstring is out.
That fierce storm of Saturday aft
ernoon is the nearest approach to a
tornado Vermont has seen in many
years,
King Oscar of Sweden is trying
to coax Swedish emigrants back to
their native country. We hope he
does not succeed with those who
landed in this country.
Some agitators complain because
team las to take the ditch when
it meets big touring car upon the
ordinary road. Isn't the same
thing true when the team meets any
heavy vehicle-a load of lumber, for
instance?
One of the very best ways of as
surfing greater safety to the tFordi-
nary driver with an ordinary horse
upon the ordinary highway" is to
have the brush cut which grows so
thick and heavy to the very edge of
the narrow roads in some towns;
then the driver and the approaching
,~+ Dth II
sooner, and lessen the liability for
accidents fifty per cent or more.
An adjourned session of the
Windham county court has just
been held in Brattleboro, aud now
that town is once again fired with |
the desire to have the county seat
permanently established there. |
Good reasons exist why that loca-
ton is desirable; and if the county |
seat were not already established, |
no doubt Brattleboro would be |
chosen for it. But the county can
not afford to bear the expense of
making the change Bellows Falls
would be so much better accommO-
dated that we have expected she
would assist Brattleboro in holding
out a financial inducement to effect
the change. We are barking.
Two interesting letters on the au-
tOmobile question are published on

submit to the inevitable, but use all
precautions to avoid accidents;
while our idea is to execute our laws.
We already have laws to regulate
the speed of automobiles. Now,
when those big touring cars go
rushing through Manchester and
Peru villages at a reckless rate of
speed, why do not the prominent
people of those towns tly to enforce
the present law even while they are
aSitating better Legislation on the
the subject? If we haven't ''back-
bone" enough to get after the
reckless drivers who bring curses
upon themselves and all other au-
tomobilists, when there is only tn e
present light penalty attached, how
shall we be likely to muster cour-
age to bring heavier penalty upon
them?
The fault is not in the automo
biles as dangerous vehicles for trav-
cling the highways; it is not wholly
the fault of our laws, although we
believe penalty other than that of
fine alone should attach for over
speeding; but it is partly our own
fault for not letting the autoists
know that We mean business with
our laws in this vicinity. After
few hold-ups the word would be
passed along among the fraternity
touring between New York and the
White Mountains, and soon would ;
be seen their mystic chalk marks
along the main route through Man
chester, Peru, and Londonderry I
which the drivers would all know to
mean, "Better not overspeed along
here"
WHEN NEW YORK I!..,,,;;'T VOTE.
