The Lust for Speed.

The awful yearly statistical showing of
KILLED and wounded as a result of railway
and motor accidents demonstrates beyond
cnvil that the limit Of safety has been
far overstepped. The insane demand for
speed should be treated as an insanity.
Our great public highways should not be
turned into shambles. The right to live

Kentucky Not Republican.

The disposition among the more mer-
curial Republicans to count the Repub-
lican plurality In Kentucky last week as
d notable party victory is hardly justified.
That result was brought about, in reality,
by the failure of the Beckham machine
to herd the Democratic voters as has been
customary; enough of them, in disgust and
shame. Sremaiped away from the polls to
allow the Republicans to win. Under
Beckham the machine which Goebel per-
fected has been used SO rnthlessly and
With such utter disregard of the Demo-
cratic rank and file that the strength at
which it aimed has become its

lican state; but not Observation-Disclosures

Let the company make sure it gets all the money coming

decent treatment and not harass them with fines and penalties for
riAing mistakes, and let them make it unnecessary for people to

BY following some such lines the company will be serving

will the company be able to dssipate the antagonishc feeling

Imnrisonment for Fines.

Judge DeCourcy believes that the prac-
tise Of Imprisonment for non-payment OF
fines is productive only of great cost to

would be to suspend sentence when the

and to permit him to earn the amount OF

No Time for Chnnged policy.

General business has not been injured
by the recent incident in New York. The
country is too prosperous and financial
institutions as a rule are too sound to adj
nit of confidence being shaken by a pass
ing event of this kind. Far from calling
for a reversal of executive policy, the
trouble was itself an example of the very
evils which the administration has set out
to correct. The time is ripe for a care

reform. 1t will not even do to say that
there must be a change of method, nut not
a change of policy. for in this case a
change of method will be a change of
policy. What is desired is not a change
of rlethod. or less method. but more

1t is notorious that the company does not get all the money
that belongs to it. The amount involved in the stealings on
the part of conductors and fraud on the part of passengers is
purely a matter of conjecture, but in the course of a year it
must run up to an extraordinary sum-. With every fare col
lected and turned into the company's treasury, honest and com
petent employees could be paid wages commensurate with tae
harassing and trying work which they have to do, and the pub
lie could get better ervice-with better results and better feel
ing all around.
The company has on all its lines men whose honesty,
capacity and loyalty have been tried and tested; they could
have more of such men if the inducements were more aluring.
As it is, transients are coming and going all the time; they
don't expect to remain long and try to make hay while the
sun Shines regardless of the rights of the company or the
public, and this reacts on the whole system.

Passengers see conductors knocking down" fares and they
see other passengers blking the company, but 81 great is the
prejudice against the company that few will bother their heads
to help stop this.
Here ire some suggestions offered in good faith for the con-
sderation of the trolley moguls:
Sell tickets six for a quarter and thus crafty the public
while relieving conductors o n change-making.
Equip conductors with a handreceptacle for tickets and cash
fares, such as i used in Montreal, Toronto, and other cities.
Require conductors to register passengers the moment that
they step on the cars, as is done on the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit ears.
Weed out the dishonest, inefficient, careless and i1-mannered
employees and then pay the highest possible wages, 81 as to re-
tain permanently in the companys service the right kind of
men.

There is nothing chimerieal or ~faneiful about

There is nothing chimerical or fanciful about these sugges-
tons. If adopted they would make it possible to give the
public improved accommodations, both as to quality and quantity;
hostility against the company would be greatly lessened, it would
have much better prospects of obtaining favors or privileges
from the various municipalities, and-a reasonable prospect of
paying fair dividends to the stockholders.
The trolley service would then have no attraction for dis
honest men the company would get all that the Conductors col
Ilected and the average passenger would see to it that the people
around him paid his fare rather than have the loss fall upon
the conductor, as would be the case if he failed to collect all
the fares after registering each passenger.

Two Musical Treats.

The Schubert Symphony Club and
Lady Quartet gave their concert in
Music Hall Wednesday evening under
the auspices of the Knights of Pythias.
Although the audience was not large it
was an appreciative one and the soloists
were generous in their encores The
quartet work was well given and the
violinist, Thomas Purcell, delighted his
audience with the way in which he
handled his instrument. The soloists
were all enjoyed and the readings of
Miss Arlie Hinman added much to the
evenings entertainment.
The South church was filed Sunday
evening to listen to the Sacred Concert
given by the Academy chorus, assisted
by the semi-chorus of the Choral Society
The concert was one of the finest ever
given in St. Johnsbury and great credit
is due Mr.. Kingsley and the soloists,
Mrs. Don c. Stiles, W. B. Atwood, Ralph
Parker; Miss Merrill, who presided at
! the organ, anu HuSH MdckluHou, WHO
accompanied the soloists in such an
! artistic manner, for the amount of hard
work and time spent in making the
evening the success which it was. In
Gounod's "St. Cecilia's Mass" the chorus
drilling was especially noticeable, while
in the rendering of Dubois Seven Last
Words of Christ" the work of the
soloists was most pronounced and all
parts were rendered in a most creditable
manner. Special mention should be
made Of Hugh Mckinnon, who has ac-
companied the Academy chorus in former
concerts and whose accompaniments
that evening were rendered in mastery
way. His touch is one that delights all
lovers of music and he has the promise O
great future before him.

SNOW HEAVY IN MOUNTAINS
Southern Pacific Trains Stuck and
Delayed Six Hours in Tehachapi
R-nue

All trains on the Southern Pacific
from the north arrived in Los An
geles yesterday four to six hours be-
hind time. The trainmen reported
heavy SHOWS along the Tehachapi
range, piled up across the tracks from
five to ten feet deep.
Nathan Cole, jr., one of the pas
sengers on a belated train, said last
night:
"It was a new experience for
Southern California man, on the bor-
derland of his own genial climate, to
be stuck in a snowdrift. But about 1
o'clock this morning 1 felt the train go
kerchug and then suddenly stop. We
all tumbled out of our berths, think
ing probably the train had jumped the
track. But no; we were in a snow
drift, on top of the Tehachapi. And
there we stuck until o'clock. when
one train managed to push through.
1t did remind me of old Missouri in
midWinter, sure enough"
