they will not forget to do. So much for
the deadly auto. 1t has deprived ladies,
who own nice teams, horses safe under
nearly all other conditions, of the pleas

children and taking their friends out for
a drive. One can hardly! venture out
without meeting one of the tearing,
highly-colored road devils with their
frightening 'honk-honk'. So we stay at

our pleasant drives and all the road, which
they seem to think belongs to them"
Several have reported meeting auto
mobiles on different roads, running very
rapidly, as was thought 40 or so miles an
hour, refusing to slow down when ur-
gently requested to do so by hand and
voice. One of these cases was on East
Middlebury road. The complainant was

Mr.. Battell.

Mr.. Battell.
Dear Sir: The enclosed clipping is my
excuse for writing you. 1t seems to me
that the people of Vermont must do
something to stop the automobiles for
invading our country roads. The great
part of our roads land especially the
State roads, are narrow and high as if a
horse SHES you have no chance only to
be tipped out. And then we all know
what the result is to the horse. l don't
believe many people realize there is any
law unless they have read it in the Stat
utes. Seeing machines go by at 80 miles
an hour or better would give one an idea
if there was any law it certainly hasn't
been enforced
Now, our farmers wives of Vermont
are kept from attending church, making
social calls, calling on the sick or going
out to do necessary shopping. l hear so
many complaining, saying they hardly
knew what it was to go to store having
to order their goods from the mail order
houses. Is it just that thousands of us
should be kept in for the pleasure of the
few?
Why are the people of Vermont rails
ing horses and what can we do with
them, as it seems almost impossible to
accustom high-lived horse to them
under all conditions. l am speaking
from experience. We are no amateurs
in handling horses and have tried to &C
custom our horses to the automobiles in
every possible way, but can't get them SO
they can be depended upon, as several
accidents will testify. 1 have always
driven good horse and enjoyed it SC
much, but after being tipped out a cou-
pie of times and seeing your carriage and
harness all broken, it takes off most OF
the enjoyment of riding.
I hope you will pardon me for intrud
ing on your time but l have felt so deep
ly on this question, 1 had to give it ven
in some way and feel l am voicing the
sentiment of the majority of the people
Sincerely yours

Side Judge, Northern District

We understand that Mr.. Charles S.
Dana will be candidate for side
Judge from the northern district. Mr..
Dana made very many friends by the
marked skill and fairness with which he
presided at the recent convention at Bur-
lington for the election of delegates to
the Republican national convention at
Chicago, and we believe, should he be
elected as side judge, will also fill that
position equally well.

FRIDAY, JUNE IL. 1908.
Autom o biIes.

We publish this week an excellent let
ter from a Rutland lady on the subject
of automobiles. We think that all will
admit that it presents the case in great
fairness. And it is one that ought to
appeal to every Vermonter to give perm
anent remedy.
The Register has from the start seen
the outrageous character of this attack
upon the peoples rights, mainly by the
wealthy for their pleasure; but it has all
the time believed, and does yet, that the
manhood of the State will come to the
rescue. There could hardly be any
worse invasion of the rights of the peo-
pie; and especially that part of them,-
a very large proportion of the WHOLE
who are engaged in agriculture, the
farmers of the State, their wives and
children. Many others are equally in
terested, and all, except the compare
lively very few who own and use auto
mobiles--about ten or fifteen in Addison
County and possibly 500 in the State
are indignant that a comparatively few
persons should be allowed to invade the
rights and jeopardize the safety and COM
fort of 100000 people. And certainly
there should be no good reason why peo-
pie residing out of the State should be
permitted to do this. The worst feature in
this whole business is the theft of the
roads.
The following are accounts of accidents
happening in our town and immediate
neighborhood within the last few days.
The first we clip from the Burlington
reported by one of our correspondents
"Mr. and Mrs. Moses Bushey while
driving to their home in East Middlebury
Friday morning were passed by a motor
cycle a mile from this village. This
frightened their horse which ran away
demolished the buggy and threw out
the occupants. Mr.. Bushey escaped
with few bruises but Mrs. Bushey was
badly shaken and bruised"
We are informed that the horse turned
square around, threw out both occupants
and one or two wheels passed over Mrs
Bushey.
"On Tuesday afternoon a touring cal
with one lady, two men and chauffeur
from Hyde Manor, Sudbury, on theil
way to Grand View came along anG

ME Bessette with horse and carriage
they passed them and the horse tool

An EvsnselistIe Campaign.

Rev. George R. Stair was in Burling-
ton last Monday attending State Con-
ference of pastors and delegates from
the various religious denominations
which was called to consider the adyis-
ability of holding an Evangelistic Cam
paign, to be conducted by Rev. j. Wilbur
Chapman, DID,, the world renowned
evangelist, and his corps of workers. 1t
was decided to endorse the movement.
The matter will be submitted to the
churches of the State for final action.
The plan is to hold simultaneous meet
ings in the northern half and the south
ern half of the State in succession.
About 20 cities and towns will have an
evangelist and singer for period of 10
days. This movement is strongly IA
vored by the religious bodies of our State
and is expected to be productive Of much
good. The suggested time for holding
the campaign is during November.

air, and then driven to all parts of the country at will.
Another free attraction striving for steler honors
is the diving horse and lady exhibition under the direc-
tion of California Frank. Omaha has had diving elk
and diving horses, but never before has the public
been given a chance to see a beautiful young woman
ride a fiery steed from a great height into the water
below. The tank for this attraction is the old cellar
on the Rosewater lot, which is situated high in the
air where all may see the whole show. 1t makes ones
blood tingle to see the horse and woman go sailing
through the air with thousands wondering whether the
women will be crushed by the fall.
1t is an expression oft heard among showmen that
the Omaha public has been "ginned," which means
that Omaha has seen the best of all that goes, and that
nothing but the best will satisfy the Omaha public.
That does not mean that all Omaha will not turn out
to see something new and novel and interesting, for
Omaha will and does. There is no better show town
in this broad land than Omaha and many a show of
merit has left Omaha with it's Golfers filled for having
produced something that the Omaha public likes. And

costumes. Neimy's Beautiful Orient" will be a careful
reproduction of life in the Orient, particularly in and
about the palace of the sultan. To lend more realism
to the attraction a herd of camels is used in the pro-
duction. Turkish sword fighters, Egyptian musicians,
Arab acrobats and magicians, gun spinners and whirE
ing dervishers will be shown in their various exhibit
tions, while the oriental dances peculiar to the far
east will be portrayed by Turkish, Egyptian, Arabian,
Algerian, Russian and Mohammedan maidens.
Colonel Halls animal circus includes rare speci-
mems of the brute creation from the jungle and lair.
Among the colonel's collection will be shown an i'm
posing group of genuine forest-bred African lions,
trained to perform in a mammoth steel-bound arena.
The trained wild animal circus carries many novel and
interesting features which are attractive to both young
and old. One of the features of the show is the rid
ing leopard, which is trained to ride horseback around
the steel cage. The trained cats and mice and the
$4,000 white rat which swallowed a handful of
precious stones on the occasion of his visit in company
with Colonel Hall to a prominent ~lapidary in London.

then, there is the hamburger man, who supplies the
wants of the inner man in a way; and ice cream cones
and cider. For years the cider press has stood in the
same place and dished up the sparkling juice made
from Nebraska apples. Apples are abundant this
year and the glasses are correspondingly large. You
can take your girl in the merry-go-round or on the
ocean wave, or on the Ferris wheel, and through the
dark paths of the Red Mil.
The Kings Highway has a serious side, for the
Douglas County Agricultural society has big exhibits
which are we'll worth the time for a visit. There is
no extra price. Corn, grown especially for the Ma
tional Corn exposition, is shown in abundance and all
the products of the farm are shown in competition for
good and valuable prizes. The agricultural exhibit
has been changed since last year and is now on Doug
las street, between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets,
in more commodious booths than were used in previ-
Gus years.
For real fun and amusement the visitors will go
to the Kings Highway, where people from all nations
will reproduce their national pastimes in their native

Proclamation by the Good King Ak-Sar-Ben XIV

So it stands even to this day, grown more mighty,
grown more beautiful, grown more golden. For now each
year its broad fields are flooded with an ocean of waving
grain, turning yellow to the harvest-its rich corn lands
are weighted with their golden tasseled stalks. So much
so that as there comes around the season for the garnering
of these bounteous gifts, he who sits on the throne of Qui-
vera and reigns in the great kings place, under the name
and title of Ak-Sar-Ben, is moved to make a festival for
his people.
From the Chronicles of Quiyeral-
Therefore in this year of grace, Ak-Sar-Ben XIV
than whom none has been gteater-does decree and pro-
claim his Harvest Feast, ard to do meet honour to all the
glorious regions in this sunset land of ours, does further

gold in this land of wonderous promise. Suddenly spake
the king, Lift your eyes, oh we sordid ones. Look We for
goldf Not the alchemist in his crucible nor we with your
miser gaze in the dust, would find it brighter than here
before ye.' And looking as he bade, they saw spread out
before them a beautiful and rolling plain, covered with
countless yellow blossoms until it became even as a cloth
sunset unto which their faces were set and into whose
molten depths seemed to flow the waves of this vast
prairie sea. And they cried out even as one man; Why
should we journey furtheri This is indeed the land of
gold. Let us set up here our homes and raise our city and
found our kingdom
And so in this land of the Golden West, beckoned
hither by the finger of fate, as it were the rod of a diviner,
did they build up the Kingdom of Quivera.

A previous attempts knocked hollow" was the
way Doc Breed. amusement director of the Kings
Highway, expressed it when asked if he was satisfied
with his efforts in bringing big attractions to Omaha.
Il do not hesitate to say that Omaha viii sit up and
take notice before this show is over. This carnival
is strong enough to draw thousands from Nebraska
and surrounding states to Omaha and Ak-Sar-Ben
XIV may well be proud of the tented shows he has
offered for the patronage of the public. Shows from
everywhere, representing almost every land and Ian
guage, are in Omaha, and the board of Governors has
spent more money in shows and free attractions this
year than ever before. Several Of the attractions are
the largest which are on the road today"
All the attractions OF the Kings Highway do not
cause the visitor to loosen his pursestrings, for more
free attractions are furnished than were ever before
put on a carnival ground in the west. Several Of these
attractions vie with each other as to which is the top
liner. The board of governors has a show of it's own
which will attract considerable notice. That is the
balloon race which will take place each afternoon.
Two huge balloons are owned by Samson, and he will
have these race with each other as far as they can go.
Baysdorfer makes daily flights from the carnival
grounds in his new and improved airship. This is
