provision of the naval appropriation bill.
with request for an opinion upon it's
constitutionality.
When the amendment to the naval bill
adopted the question was raised by
some senator's as to it's constitutionality
on the ground that as COMMUNICATIVE chief
of the army and navy the Presidents
authority in the assignment of the ma
rines to such duty as he should see fit
could Hot .be interfered with. Senator
Hale. chairman of the committee on naval
affairs, which reported the amendment,
restrictions have been placed in appro-
pration bills and complied with He
stoutly defended the right of Congress to
control in matters of this kind, which, he
contended, was not included in the powers
of command vested in the President by
the Constitution.
To Continue Roosevelt's Policy.
The friends Of the Marine Corps say 1t
is very evident that the new Secretary OF
the Navy, like his predecessor, has prac-
tically decided to continue the policy Of
President Roosevelt and keep the marines
off naval vessels if the statutes can be
so construed
In his letter to the Attorney General
Secretary Meyer said that as he enter
tanned doubt as to the constitutionality of
the provision respecting the duties of the
marines he had referred It to the At
torney General for opinion for the
guidance Of the Navy Department in the
matter
The line officers Of the navy are said
Ia be mainly responsible for the present
policy of the department against the serv-
ice of marines on board warships In
any event the duties of marines on ship
board are to be circumscribed so far as
possible, and it is not likely that they will

former status af1oat.
By Order of President
By order issued by direction of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in the last days of his
administration the marine guards or
naval ships were placed under the ai-
rect control of the naval officer in COM
mand of the ship SO that hereafter
they may be ordered to any character
Of duty on board ship. The main effect
of the order, it was explained. would be
to have the marines serve in the han
ding rooms or in the powder divisions
instead of manning the guns. which
had been their most important func-
tion during thS past century
II is admitted that the authorities have
practically abandoned the contention that
the word heretofore as used in the
paragraph of the naval bill referred to
the status of the marines on shore duty
exclusively as existed just before the pas
sage of the law, and not To their status
before they were withdrawn from ship
board by order of President Roosevelt.
Consequently the broad question of con-
slitutiondlitY has been raised against the

ume OF road soil from the surface and
loosen the small stones lying near the
surface. When the Glidden party passed
through Vermont the roadway was only
slightly damp, but heavy ruts were left
by the fifty machines or so which ran in
tandem across the State. 1t follows that
a similar effect results when the fifty
machines do not exactly track, the only
difference being that the wear is distrib-
uted.
The law passed by the last Legislature
providing for a tax on automobiles ac-
cording to their horsepower was de-
signed to temporarily make good some of
the wear of autos on our highways, but
it is evident that the proceeds of this tax
will go only a short way to repair the
wear on the highways of Vermont as a
whole,

a Wise Suggestion.

1t has been suggested, and with much
good sense, that eight miles an hour for
limit of speed of automobiles is much
better than ten, because much safer, and
this especially because it will permit
nearly all horses to keep ahead of any
automobile, coming from behind, such
distance as is necessary to find some
good point to turn out and let the auto
mobile pass. This provision might pre-
vent many accidents.

Broadway, near Eldridge place, that
city, yesterday afternoon, when he was
bowled over by good-sized automobile.
Cizinsky and his companions began to
cry and shrek. The driver of the auto,
described as a young man, stopped the
machine, got out, and lifted the boy to
his feet The little fellows face was
bruised and it was found later that his
left collar bone was broken.
The machine was at once surrounded
by an excited crowd. The man with the
car suddenly jumped into it and got
away. Cizinsky was later treated at his

Automobile Manslaughter and
the Law.
From the New York World.

Judge Swann's charge to the Grand
Juries in General Sessions on the ques-
ton of automobile manslaughter makes
it clear that there is no lack of law to
deal with this class of offenses. All that
is needed is to apply it,
The law, as Judge Swami pertinently
says, has proved sufficiently elastic to
cover the new conditions created by
modern invention, and it contains a
remedy for the new method of commit
ting old crimes Which has been intro
duced by the automobile. If it can be
stretched to punish contractors for fatal
titles due to negligence it can provide
punishment for injury and death caused
by reckless motoring. The streets, it is
pointed out, belong to the weak and the
infirm no less than to other users of
them, and men who speed engines reck-
lessly and without regard to the rights
of others kill or main "are guilty either
of manslaughter or of other grades of
crime" 1t is refreshing to have the doc
trine of the completely of owners in the
acts of chauffeurs known to be reckless
set forth from the bench.

Claiming the Right to Kill.
Prom the New York World. I

The severity with which the police
and the courts are dealing with reckless
drivers of automobiles seems to be fully
warranted by the mental attitude of
many of the culprits. In the operation of
motors, as in the higher realms of morals,
there can be no reform unless there is
appreciation and acknowledgment of
wrong Where there is no repentance
there is not likely to be serious correction
of error.
First of all, practically every chauffeur
under arrest vehemently denies he was
speeding. In the few cases in which the
charge is admitted there are pleas of
necessity or mercy. Such offenders as
write to the newspapers or otherwise
publish their views show surprising
ignorance of the laws of the road and
even greater indifference to the rights of
pedestrians.
OF a dozen such expressions at hand
not one recognizes the fact that people
on foot are entitled to leave the sidewalks
or that the racing motorist has any duty
in the premises more important than to
sound his horn. This attitude indicates
heartlessness as well as lawlessness. 1t
has its origin in ignorance or in brutality.
There can be no hope of improvement in
these respects unless the authorities by
drastic action retaliate in some degree
upon the terrorists of the streets for the
fear which has been inspired in others.
The only way to put an end to automo-
bile murders is to enforce the laws
against them regardless of such theories
as District Attorney Jerome advances.
A few thousand men assume that the
streets are speedways in which pedes-
trians venture at their own risk as tres
passers. Heavy fines, Jail sentences and,
on occasion, terms in the penitentiary
will enlighten all concerned not only as
to the law but as to the humanities.

"The Zulus,' said Noie shivering so that the water shook about her, they seek me.2
