YERMoNTs LEGIsLATuRE UNIQUE

NEhNlBNI > ifitiSisA M 0NtN4NH
As usual at this season, biennially,
the Vermont Legislature comes together
for the transaction of business. Among
all the forty-six states, it is an abso-
Iutely unique xnibition.--Boston Her
aid.
II is not apparent from the contem-
porsry's statement wherein lies the "ab-
solutely unique" feature of the Vermont
legislature when compared with the 9th.
ers in the United States. If the con-
temporary refers to the fact that It is
unique because it convenes only once in
two years, the Characterization is imper-
feet, since forty-one other states and
territories likewise have a biennial ses-
sion of their legislatures. We must,
therefore, look elsewhere for the distinct
features which set the Vermont legisla-
ture apart from the others. Possibly
The Herald mas heard of some Of the
bits of legislation that misguided mem
begs try to foist on each assembly; but
even there the Characterization of
unique" does not fit, for such proposed
measures almost never get through both
branches. tits neither unique in that the
members are paid three dollars day,
for Oregon, Michigan and Kansas give
similar compensation to their law.mak-
ers.
1t is left for the contemporary to en-
tighten its readers as to the underlying
sense of its little paragraph.

TIE SALE OF PolsoNS.

That the demand of the Vermont drug.
gists for q more strict enforcement of
the law regarding the sale Of poisons is
timely is borne out by the renewed ag-
tation for an effective law in New Hamp-
shire. A single illustration Of the need
OF such law in New Hampshire is fur.

bit more than double the parent system.
IL makes quite a remarkable railroad
system, indeed. BY the way, il must be
pleasing to the management Of the rail
road to have the state board OF railroad
commission give II such clean bill of
health, so 10 speak.

REyOKING AUTOMOBILE LICENSES
Recent revocation Of licenses to ope
rate automobiles in other states, recalls
that Vermonts law for regulating tn
use Of the motor car has section which
states, THE secretary Of state may, al
any time, suspend or revoke license
for violation Of a provision of this chap.
ter or any of the regulations made there.
under; and said secretary or his duly
authorized agent may, after due hearing
suspend or revoke certificate or license
issued under this chapter, for any cause
which he deems sufficient"
But this is such clumsy way of
going about the matter of revocation
that it would be an exceedingly rare oc-
casion when the secretary of state should
revoke or suspend an operators license.
The secretary Of state would have to
set himself up as a judiciary body and
tnen hear all the evidence submitted in
ttiS SusNs requiring lIfC gaining VI tHHHii-
cradle witnesses and experts regarding
motor car speed together with witnesses
to tell about the danger of operating a
car in the particular locality mentioned
in the complaint. A better way to do
would be to allow the secretary of state
to take the testimony submitted in one
OF the regularly constituted courts of
the state and on that as a basis deter
mine the liability of the automobile ope-
rator. 1t would be far less cumkar-
some method and it would provide a
more speedy process Of punishment of
the reckless drivers of motor cars. We
DO not anticipate that there will be
many charges Of this nature to be heard
in Vermont for some time; but it would
be well to have remedy that is easily
appealed to.

The aMerv widow Dying.

The national dancing masters associ-
alton has put the ban on the Merry
Widow" waltz It's not tit for the polite
society ball room they say. So. sound

which bears the name Of Merry Widow.
THAT reminds of another Merry Wild

Merry Widow" hat and all its contrap.
tions OF evil. IT gets in the way on

face in the street car II causes various

hats into the Dump These are some OF
the reasons that ought to send the AIer
ry Widow" hat into oblivion
Its awkward, too, if one can believe
his sight as he secs the women so
rooted wedging their way through
doors and crowds. In this connection,
the efforts Of Barre woman to pass
through the entrance to a Pullman car
a while ago serves as an illustration.
The woman in question wore one OF the
mammoth platters on her head and she
went boldly into the car until she
brought up with a snap as her headgear
lodged in the entrance. She wiggjed
and twisted and finally got the hat dis
lodged. Then, 10 the intense amuse.
ment Of the onlookers. she tilted her
head ustil the hat reached position at
right angles TO its former position and
and thus. with her neck awry. she was
able to pass through the Pullman car
entrance.

Widow hat should be sent back to Paris
or tn South Sea Islands, wherever it
came from,

The report of the state board Of

divorce to $50 marriages and one for
1922 marriages in 1906. There were
6.13i deaths in 1907 to 6,24l in 1906.

Speaking Of wide things and getting

experience Of "Old Cha arie' Mcmillan

OF the granite manufacturers visit.
"Cha arlie" was viewing the sights OF

with all sails set as before spanking

of them are narrow This happened to

question. They finally summoned a po-

him TO flip coin to see which
