GROUNDS ENLARGED
Students Need More Room
for Military Drills.

The work OF enlarging the high school
athletic field was begun yesterday. and
it Is claimed that within few days the
present campus will be twice the size 1t
is now, The field as 1t lies has a row of
large trees directly in the middle OF II.
To the south Is A running track and an
athletic field OF considerable size, and to
the north are small trees and brush. BY
clearing out the trees and the brush the
field Will be made over twice its present
size. The main object for doing the
work is to make larger parade ground
for the cadets. Considerable inconven-
ience has been felt by the cadets in
their fancy drills because OF the small
grounds they have on which TO carry
on their maneuvers. and with the trees
cleared out and the space doubled 1t is
thought that they can do much more
proficient work. One OF the oldest trees
In the neighborhood OF the school was
pulled down yesterday by a squad OF
about fifty high school boys. After chop
ping the roots out as much as possible,
the old-timer was brought down with a
single pull Several others will be taken
out today and It is hoped that by the end
OF the week the campus will be entirely
cleared.

The Larchmont Horror.

The ugly charge that the captain of
the lost steamer Larchmont deserted his
vessel in the first boat that was launched
is met by an explanation from the cap
tain which leaves much to be desired.
He declares that he called upon pas
sengers to jump into the boat, but that
in the darkness and confusion, they did
not hear him. He says the boat was at
tached to the steamer with rope which
had to be cut in order to prevent be-
ing sucked down when the steamer sank
Then. he says, he gave orders that the
boat should be rowed to the other side
of the steamer in order to pick up pas
sengers but that the gale prevented.
The public is very liable to conclude
that a captain who would jump into the
first life BOAT at hand would be guilty
of other infractions of duty. The sus-
picion will be aroused that all was not
cident; that perhaps the crew was not
disciplined and the live-saving apparatus
regularly overhsuled. The captains duty
was plain. He should have remained
with his ship to the last. No explanation
can remove the fact that he failed to
obey the first duty of commander in time
of danger, which is to risk his own life
for others.
The loss of the Larchmont should lead
to rigid enforcement of the laws de-
signed to protect passengers at sea. Evil
IDENTIFY the lesson of the Slocum was not
taken to heart by steamer owners. The
Larchmont could not have been staunchly
built and adequately protected against
the effect of collisions. While trans
Atlantic steamships have been equipped
in every way with )ife-saving apparatus,
and constructed with a view to with
standing collision without sinking,
coastwise steamers of ancient and I'M
seaworthy type are permitted to carry
heavy passenger loads in the stormy sea-
son, when conditions conspire to test the
strength of the most modern vessels. Are
the laws inadequate, or is the enforce
ment of them left to weak or venal hands?
Have the steamship companies sufficient
influence to evade rigid compliance with
the law; One frightful calamity after

Town Meetinq

We believe that the feeling is very
general in Middlebury that a bad mis-
take was made last year, and which as
we understand was largely the result
of accident, in the town voting for license
For there is hardly any citizen, whether
at times using liquor or not, but what
realizes that the town is better, stronger
and happier, when it avoids the unneces-
sary sale of liquors. And we believe a
large majority of our citizens, realizing
this, will not fail to be present at the
annual Town meeting and vote against
license.
We particularly hope that the young
men of the town, who will soon be its
most active citizens, will see this matter
correctly, and lend their great influence
towards such action in the towns policy,
as will secure the highest manhood in
the individual and the greatest thrift
and happiness in the family, and there
fore in the whole community.

this power of regulation is left with the
proper officials of city and incorporated
village, or the selectmen of a town, and
therefore in all cases it is important that
these officers should be carefully chosen;
men that will make such regulations
as the towns or cities desire. And doubt
less the safest way is for towns or viii
lagos to instruct their selectmen or pro-
per officials, at their regular town meet
ings, to make all regulations proper in
this matter for the safety and comfort
of the people. In making such regula-
tions our citizens should remember, that
lures in this law, as passed in the last
session, over the previous one; there is
one feature which introduces very
large amount of increased danger from
the automobiles and that is permitting
an increased speed from fifteen to TWEEN
ty-five miles an hour, on all country
roads, unless restricted by the action of
the towns. 1t permits also twelve miles
an hour in villages or cities, which at
many points is altogether too great for
safety, whether made by an automobile
or a horse. Such rate of speed over
the stone bridge at Middlebury, and the
narrow road connected with it, by any
vehicle, and especially an automobile,
would be very dangerous and should not
be permitted. Gov. Stewards idea was
that six miles an hour in villages was
as fast, as would safely be made. The
limit in New York City and suburbs is
ten miles an hour. At Washington with
its extremely wide and fiat avenues, a
twelve mile an hour limit is permitted,
but we are told that quite number of
children and others have been killed or
injured during the last year. In the law
recently introduced in France a limit
was made of twelve miles an hour for
all country roads.
In considering the subject of speed it
should be remembered that the wear
upon roads from automobiles going over
twelve miles an hour, is very great, and
if there are many, increases very largely
the expense of keeping the highways in

Filtration In Two Cities,

Referring to the fact that the "organi-
cation" in control of that city has de-
layed filtration until sit is overdue by a
full four years." the Philadelphia Press
declares that "the organization and its
leaders are responsible for every death
due to this delay, at least 5000" The
Washington Post made a charge similar
to that against the ring in Philadelphia
long ago, but did not furnish an estimate
of the number of victims, letting it go at
thousands" Recent events in this city
have shown that the Press may be mis-
taken, While it is quite true that the
corruptionists ''are responsible for every
death due to this delay" and true also
that the number may be greater rather
than less than 5000, the experience of
Washington in the matter of filtration
and typhoid opens wide area of doubt
as to the cause of the prevalence of that
fatal malady in the Quaker City. Before
the filtration plant in Washington was
completed, all of our people believed that
the ravages of typhoidal diseases here
were due to microbes in the Potomac wa.
ter. When, at length. the filter was in
stalled and put in operation, early relief
from the chronic affliction was conf
IDENTIFY expected. The filtration was
and is all that had been promised, and no
one regrets the cost of it. The microbes
are reduced to a comparatively infinitesi-
NAL number. But typhoid did not depart
with the microbes. 1t stayed. and its
rear guard has not yet moved out San
itary science has seldom attacked a more
difficult problem than that of asertaining
why this is so. And it is very far from
impossible that when Philadelphia has
filtration-if the ringsters should finally
permit that consumation-the same dis
appointment may come to that city that
came to Washington and similar prob
lem be put up to her medical and sani-
tary scientists.

Regulation of Autom o biIes.

The Register would call the attention
of the people of the County and also of
the State. to that feature in the new
automobile law which permits towns,
acting through their officials, to regulate
the running of automobiles upon all
narrow and dangerous highways. This
would include practically all highways;
that is nearly all, if not all, are at places
narrow or dangerous, or both. 1t GER
tainly would cover all the more danger

ways running near detiles, or along rivers
with unprotected banks, and marrow
highways" will include many of the
roads of the State.
1t is true that this provso has a string
tied to it, which is especially disgrace
full, and fundamentally unconstitution-
al, attempting to permit one individual
to override the possible vote of every
town in the State. We can hardly con-
ceive of more infamous invasion of the
peoples rights. Practically we do not
suppose that this feature will cut any
ice. Who this highway commissioner is,
we do not know, but we do not suppose
he had anything to do with the passing
of this law; and have no doubt that
he is genuine Vermonter, recognizing
as much as any of us, the rights of the
majority to rule and will have nothing
to do with interfering with the regula-
lions which any town thinks necessary
to pass, in regard to such a subject.
The reading of this clause is as fol-
lows: Nothing herein contained shall
be so construed as to affect the rights
of the proper officials of city, incor-
porated village, or the selectmen of a
town, and said officials shall have au-
thority to make special regulations as
to the speed of such motor vehicles upon
narrow or dangerous roads or ways.
Such special regulations, however, shall
be subject to an appeal to the State
highway commissioner, whose decision
in the case shall be final. No such
special regulations shall be effective I'M
less notice Of the same is posted con-
spicuously in such road or way a rea-
sonable distance from a point where

Too Big q Majority.

Good reason exists for serious doubt
if President Roosevelt's hand has been
strengthened by reason of the late ad-
dition to his party's numerical strength
in the Senate. Analyses of the per-
sonnet and affiliations of the new group
of Senators suggest, indeed, that the
President may prove the weaker for the
suppositional added strength of the Re-
publican majority.
If President Roosevelt shall be elected
again in 190S-and there seems increas-
ing indication that such a thing may
happen-the country would do well to
send up a very close House of Repre-
sentatives, and to close up somewhat
the gap between the forces of the parties
in the Senate.
Mr. Roosevelt is the sort of President,
and represents the sort of policies, that
must find support on both sides of the
party line. His present term would
have been more fruitful of results if his
party had not held such overwhelming
control of both branches. Washington
