The Rutland Herald in some com
ment, reproduced in another column
on the trunk line bill calls attention
anew to the principle now steadily
coming to tne front that the highways
are not town but a state issue and
ought to be a state charge. This is
manifestly true at least so far as the
main roads are concerned. 1t will
come in time and in the meantime the
state can play second fiddle to New
Hampshire and a mighty poor second
at that. AS the Herald says. the
trunk line bill was introduced early in
the session. the second week in fact,
but the self constituted leaders" kept
it back till that could get their pet
measures disposed of and after the
treasury had been swept clean and
also the final chaos had begun. In
fact the particular time selected to
dispose of the bill was the day It's in

An aged resident of Dummerston
Hill was brutally assaulted last week
by a drink crazed desperate who
had formerly been in his employ.
Two women who were passing the
house at tne time found out what
was going on and ut once telephoned
TO Brattleboro for an officer to arrest
the assailant. The first thing the
deputy sheriff wanted to know was.
we are told, who was going to be
responsible financially for his trip to
the scene of the crime Very natu
rally the woman replied with some
show of indignation that she didn {
know, and nung up the receiver.
After several hours a Dummerston
officer was induced 10 make a trip to
Dummerston HILL but of course he
found no trace of the criminal
Here certainly is a pretty state of
thingsl A brutal assault, immediate
notification of the authorities and no
officer upon the scene until hours
too late to be of any service! Per
haps the deputy sheriff was right in
refusing to make the trip without
being sure of his expenses, we don't
know. Perhaps tne woman who did
the telephoning notified the wrong
persons; we don't know, nor did she,
nor would one out of hundred peo-
pie under the circumstances. The
facts remain-and they certainly are
a sad commentary on the prompti-
tude of Windham county Justice

THIS MONEY
WELL SPENT
BY THEC|

A coat of pure white enamel ap-
piled to the woodwork and a part
of the. furniture, cream colored
kalsomine to the walls and ceiling
and a little delicate trimming and
finishing, has converted the city's
emergency hospital into about the
most inviting place in the city
hall. Ever since this little depart
lnent was established for the care
and attention of sick prisoners in
the city Jail and for the purpose of
administering first aid to the in
jured, hardly a cent has been ex-
pended from the city's money to
improve its appearance or add to
its equipment until now.
Lives have been saved, broken
and dislocated bones set and band
aged, bullets have been extracted
and hideous gaping wounds from
which the life blood of poor, home
less creatures was fast flowing
away have been washed and
dressed there in that little COM
partment. 1t is smaller even than
the average of the humble homes.
Only two beds are there for
patients. and the whole place has
been maintained and operated on a
minimum allowance from the city.
Drs. Roark and Eikenbarry, the
hospital physicians, pay countless
visits there every week to give
special attention to bruised unfor-
tunates who find their way into the
city jail Steward Woodruff is
nearly always there to give imme-
date attention to all who come,
the penniless as we'll as others.
