PRESS COMMENT.
Good work of State Board

The law regulating the practice of
optometry in the state of Vermont las
now gone into effect, and hereafter eve
doctor fakirs, and spectacle peddlers
doing business in the Green Mountain
state, will do so at their peril. All such
grafters, selling $50 glasses at 50 a pair
are barred. The dealer in general mer-
chandise can carry line of eye glasses
but he cannot make business Of fitting
spectacles without credentials from the
state board of optometry. 1t is mpos-
sible to say how many eyes have been
ruined, and how many people have been
Systematically robbed, especially in the
rural districts, by these peripatetic
swndlers, with their smooth speeches
and touching ways. But the game is up,
and the small army of fakirs who have
made Vermont their happy hunting
grounds in the past will have to turn to
some other species of graft or find some
place where the system of surveillance
that exists here is not in vogue. And
even this will be rather a difficult task.
since regulation of the practice of
optometry which obtained in only IA
states when Vermont enacted the law
has now increased to "a May the state
board keep an eye out for all those who
would violate this law for the profit
there is in it. Rutland Herald.

Yermont,s Good Record.

That Vermont is keeping we'll to the
front Of the library movement is shown
by the following from the Boston Tran
script: THE statistics showing the
number and condition of the libraries of
the United States given out by the ma
tional bureau OF education, spell oppor-
tunity for every man, woman and child
who desires to read to do so. Perhaps
were books a little harder to get, the
desire might be stronger and the taste
more discriminating New England is
conspicuous in the number of libraries.
Her states lead the rest of the country,
except that California is ahead of Rhode
Island. The former state has one library
for every 6,102 persons, while in Rhode
Island there is one for every 6,3S7. In
the number of volumes per capita, how
ever, the little state is ahead, having
two hundred volumes for each citizen.
New Hampshire, Massachusetts and
Connecticut are ahead in the order nam
ed and Maine, New Hampshire and Yer
mont lead this state in the number of
libraries.

Automobile Speeding.
Press Comments on the Recklessness of a
Few Drivers

Few Drivers.
The St. Johnsbury (Vt.) CALIFORNIAN
is to be commended for its plain speech,
as follows, and the indignation express
ed is widely applicable
IF DR.. Webb's son takes any pride in
the fact that he ran his French racing
machine at the rate of sc miles an hour
from Bennington to Troy, N. Y, last
Friday, he ought to be informed that
everyone else in Vermont is not only
indignant at his reckless performance
but ashamed that the incident occurred
in the Green Mountain state. Nothing
does more to perpetuate and intensity
the hatred of the farmers against the
automobile than this utter disregard of
the laws Of the state and the rights of
other people"
There is something about tie speed
possibilities of the automobile which
intoXicates too many of those who oper-
ate them to a degree which obiterates
regard for other people. This se6shness
incarnate is deplorably dangerous.
Laws do not reach the offenders, but
public sentiment, though slow of opera
ton, may have it's effect. A French
racing machine at top speed has no
place on the public roads, and if the
operator of it has done what is charged,
let the law in some way find him out.
Meanwhile every such performance
should be condemned in the sharpest
way possible for the public menace that
it is.-[Springfeld Republican.
There is hardly day passes but what
the public learn of some cases where
automobiles take unwarranted liber.
ties with the highway and endanger the
pubic who have equal rights on these
thoroughfares. These auto operators
fail to keep within the speed regulations
fail to warn teams of their approach at
bad places, fail to look after the safety
of those who have frightened horses and
often are road hogs in the full sense OF
the term. All this goes to make the
general public condemn automobiles
and their operators. Something will be
done by coming legislatures to remedy
this wrong, and the continued disdain
and high-handed treatment of fellow
travellers but hastens the day of punish
ment.
1t is, however, source of gratihca-
ton that there are Others who own and
operate automobiles who are consider
ate of the safety of others and take
every precautlon to safeguard against
accidents and respect the rights of fellow
travellers. One Of the automobiles in
this section most prominent in this
respect is Mr.. T. n. Vail of Lyndonville.
In meeting teams Mr.. Vail takes every
precaution, and in case of frightened
horses gets clear of the track, stops his
machine and personally looks after the
safety OF the other party. Such persons
show a consideration for the rights and
safety OF Others that goes a long way
toward counteracting the wrongs of
other automobiles who take the other
way. There are Others of MIR. Wallis
class who have regard for others and
are gentlemen, and The Times gladly
recognizes them and hopes Others NAV
follow in their footsteps and in SO doing
win the respect and good will of the
public [Groton Times.

At AbenakiS Springs.

AS over 20 from this town have al
ready spent some time at Abenakis
Springs, 2. O., this season and quite a
number more are planning to go there
this summer, good many of our readers
will be interested in the following:
The week ending July "a was very gay,
adriving party, large progressive euchre
party, boat trip to Sorel, several success
full fishing parties, and on Saturday eve
ming special concert and dance were
given. Saturday, July "a, was also the
10th anniversary of the marriage of Mr.
and Mrs. r. G. Kimpton, and this is the
25th summer that they have welcomed
their friends to their very comfortable
hotel. 1t is not often that we are per-
mltted to celebrate such events, and
some of the guests desired to recognise it,
and make Mr.. and Mrs. Kimpton a pre-
sentation. To Mrs. Kimpton Was given
long gold watch chain and an amy
thest and pearl pin, and to Mr. Kimpton
a gold watch chain. The little son of
Mrs. o. l.. Henault from Montreal pre-
sented them with large box of candies
and from the chef large wedding cake,
which the bride Of 40 years cut and dis
tributed to her guests. The entertain
ment was in the hands of Mrs. w. r.
Chennell of Montreal, who asked Mr..
and Mrs. Kimpton to assist her in a tab
leau, and when they came forward to do
so she presented the good wishes and
congratulations of the guests and also
the wedding cake. She then called on
Charles E. LeBarbien Of New York to
continue the presentation. His remarks
were very bright and enjoyable, begin
ming at the marriage of Mary Brodio ]
and Rufus George Kimpton, July "a,
1864, up to the present enjoyable occa-
sion, where it is our good pleasure to
find them still enjoying good health and |
happiness and looking forward to their
golden anniversary. Although taken en-
tirely by surprise Mr.. Kimpton responded
in few well chosen words. Recitations,
singing and dancing, were kept up until
a late hour.
The hotel is full of guests and Mrs.
Harriet 7. Bachelor as matron, and
Mrs. Hultz as entertainer combine their
efforts to make the guests feel at home
and at the same time find sufficient en-

Women and Good Roads.

The ladies of Lyndon and Lyndouvlle
have done what the ladies in any live
community can do in having a public
meeting in the interests of good roads
and having specialists to present the sub
ject. The Village Improvement Societies
of those two villages hired Music Hall
and invited the voters to attend their
meeting, and the attendance was most
gratifying. The speakers were Gov.
Prouty and Hon. Charles w. Gates, the
state highway commissioner, the latter
making the principal address of the even
ing. Following the addresses light re-
freshments were served and a social hour
enjoyed The Governor spoke briefly but
in most practical way upon forestry.
Mr.. Gates gave an hour to the subject of
good roads, showing very clearly why
gravel roads were the best for this state
and explaining in detail how these roads
could be built economically and scientific
ally. The people of the town of Lyndon
had supposed there were no gravel beds
in their vicinity, but the day after the
meeting Mr.. Gates found several in the
limits OF the town. They are now plan
ming for permanent road between the
ST Johnsbury town line and the village
of Lyndonville, to be built along the
lines of the other state roads which Mr..
Gates has had constructed in other
places.
The result of this meeting must be
exceedingly gratifying to the ladies,
who, though deprived of the ballot, can
work for good roads and good citizen
ship. Later in the season the same
societies will have another public meet
ing to be addressed by Hon. A. F
HAYES, the state forester. and I'm.
doubtedly this subsequent meeting will
have lasting results.
AS was said in the beginning any com.
munity in the state can have a similar
meeting, and the more OF this kind that
are held throughout the state the better
roads we will have and the more they
will be travelled.

W. c. T. U. Meeting.

The July meeting of the W. c. T. U.
was held at the home of Mrs. ]. NJ. Frost
last week Tuesday. The scripture was
read by Mrs. H. N. Turner and PRAYER
was offered by Miss Kahlo. After the
roll call short business session follow

lect for the afternoon was "The Belted
Globe" Articles were read by Mrs.
Frost and Miss Kahlo on the influence
Frances Willard had in the W.C.T.U,
work and the great advancement the
South had made. Miss Mabel Parker
gave a reading entitled "Pro patria,"
which added much to the program. A
series OF short articles were read on the
Hopeful Temperance Conditions in En-.
rope" In France there is but one res
turant where liquor is not sold. Yet one
OF the most prominent physicians is
total abstainer. Temperance is taught
in the schools and the outlook is encour-
aging. In the great country of Italy
temperance is yet to come to the front
but it will, perhaps sooner than it is an.
ticipated, discard alcoholic drink. In the
mountainous cantons of Switzerland the
people are wonderfully influenced bv the
surrounding countries, yet in large num-
bers they have abjured the liquor habit.
The temperance movement in Germany
is largely among the upper and middle
classes. The Emperor's family is strong
ly temperate and the scientists are be-
coming more assertive. In Holland
large amounts of liquor are consumed
and many drink shops abound. Not
Wlthstanding all obstacles temperance is
securing foothold and societies are be-
ing organized. Although Belgium has
been called the most drunken country in
the world, yet Transformation is going
on and efforts in this line are bv no
means unsuccessful. The largest no.
license city in the world is Worcester.

than year. There has been a wonder
tul suppression in the saloons since 1909 |
began. In Michigan 10 new counties
have gone dry, closing about 600 sa-
looms and 10 breweries.
The meeting, which was most interest.
ing and profitable, closed with the sing
Ing OF hymn and the benediction.
After the meeting several of the ladies
who attended called on Mrs. c. Caswell
and were pleasantly entertained. Re.
reshments were served.
