Autoists, commendable course.

We have frequently sought 10 EN-
phasiZe the fact that Burlington own
ers of automobiles with very few ex-
ceptions are as careful as the owners
of teams in using the highways, and
that they are anxious to do everything
i'm their power to protect the reputa-
ton of autoists generally from harm
through the acts of occasionally reck-
less drivers as well as to protect oc-
cupants of carriages and pedestrians
The action taken by the Burlington
Automobile club under the lead of DR.
d. c. Hawley, president of the organ
ization, is having an excellent effect
in this direction, as indicated by the
following editorial in the Barre Times,
In formally endorsing the effort of
Mayor Burke TO stop the reckless lriv-
ing of automobiles in Burlington, the
Burlington Automobile club shows
that the autoists as class are not
DESTROYS of breaking the laws or the
ordinances Furthermore 1t shows
that they are as anxious as the next
person to see that the rights of other
users of the road are safeguarded.
Now if the club will go one step fur
Their and censure any of its members
who forget themselves and defy pub
lie sentiment in the use of the roads,
it will have done about all that could
reasonably be expected. But even
as far as the Burlington Automobile
club has gone. it has done much to
remove the prejudice which may fas-
ten upon the Vermont users of the
machine through reading of scanda-
lous actions of ehauffeurs in the me
tropoltan centers. This serves to
confirm the opinion that the majority
the great majority. of autoists in our
own state are not to be classed with
the motorists who have little or no
regard for others on the roads. In
this connection, also it may be well
to commend Mayor Burke for sincere
efforts to keep the reckless autoists
of his city within bounds. He ought
to get an undivided support from the
citizens of Burlington in this en-.
deavor.
The great body of motorists and the
great body of drivers of teams are
fair-minded, and if all of them use
their influence to restrain the hot
heads in both classes, to overcome I'M
reasonable prejudice and to seek to
promote careful observance of the
rights of all persons in the highways

MAY FISH ANY TIME
But This Fishing Relates to Private
Preserves


Montpelier, May 81. c. Brown has
sent to Fish and Game Commissioner
the construction placed by Attorney
J. II. Senter of this city on the stat
ute relating to fishing in private pre-
serves and as it is of general interest
the parties interested consent to its
publication. 1t reads as follows
Replying TO your favor of yester-
day, | will say that the law relating
to fishing in private or artificial ponds
is a trihe mixed mp but if YOU will
cad Section 52li as amended by Act
No l43 of 1908. you will observe that
q provides at the close of the section
But the provisions of this section
shall not apply to trout Matched arti-
icially or grown in artificial pools or
taken from private preserves or hatch
cries. -
Now Sec. 534S, Public Statutes, de-
fines private preserves as follows: "A
natural pond of not more than twenty
acres belonging TO common owner,
or any artificial pond made solely for
the purpose of fish culture"
The definition OF pond in Sec. $3.50,
Public Statutes, is by its terms con
fined to its use in that section and
cannot affect the provisions of Sec.
5264, Public Statutes and this last
section was passed by the legislature
of 1906, two years later than Sec. 5263
and makes no reference to the deinit-
ion OF artificial pond, or POND con
tanned in Section 1868 which last sec
ton limits its definition to that par
ticular section so in my opinion you
may fish and be d. in your own
private preserve from January | to

The Lost Leisure.

Leisure is gone-gone where the
spinning wheels are gone, and the pack
horses and the slow wagons, and the
peddiers who brought bargains to the
door on sunny afternoons. Ingenious
philosophers tell you, perhaps, that
the great work of the steam engine is
to create leisure for mankind. Do not
believe them; 1t only creates q vacuum
for eager thought to rush in. Even
idleness is eager now-eager for
amusement; prone to excursion trains,
art museums, periodical literature
and exciting novels.-George Eliot.

THE DISEASE
IS DURABLE

(Livermore, California, Herald)
The disease which ranks second to
consumption in fatalities and which
has been deemed equally fatal is
Bright's disease. That it is now pos
itively durable is known to compare
lively few people. Unfortunately the
new treatment for Bright's Disease
comes under the head of proprietary
preparations, and medical ethics for
bid a recognition of its merits. The
Herald takes the view that having
positive knowledge of cures effected,
its duty to it's readers and to human
| ity is to state the facts. The pub
| Usher knows of two cases in which
it has effected permasent cures and OF
two others who had practically aban-
doned hope, but who are now regain
ing their health. This paper is not
pecuniarily interested and this state
ment is made solely with a view of
aiding such people as may be afflicted
with Brights disease and have des-
paired of recovery Should any such
receive benefit we will feel amply re-
paid for Ndiverging from the beaten
journalistic path.-l.iyermore (calJ
