The Moving Picture Show.

The nickelodeon has achieved an
amazing popularity, derived largely
from the INDECENT. You seldom see an
automobile at the door or person in
evening dress among the audience. Be.
ing essentially an amusement Of the
poor, it naturally attracts the agitatea
attention of those who believe, on gen,
eral principles, that the morals and
taste of the lowly always need looking
after. They would uplift and purify
the picture show until it possesses
these educat ional, ethical and aesthetic
values which are SO conspicuous in the
dramatic entertainments that are pa
tfonized by the well TODD and cultured.

THE WORK OF DANGER SIGNALS

The collision between freight train
on the Central Vermont railroad and an
electric ear at the Pioneer Friday night,
while not resulting seriously, has never
theless certain features which seem to
demand an Investigating. Happily
enough, the ear was empty, having no
passengers and having been abandoned
BY the motorman when he found that
he could not move the car as it pro.
jected over thea Central track, 50 that
the only damage was to rolling stock.
The feature which demands an investi-
cation more insistently than any other
IS the failure, Or apparent failure, Of the
signal to warn che crew of the freight
train that there was street car stalled
on the track. AIotorman Reagan Of the
car states that when be got into the di-
lemma there was no train within hearing,
that he switched on the danger signal
and that he then went to work trying
to shove the light ear back off the Cen
trail track. It was while he was engaged
in this undertaking that he heard the
approach Of the freight train, whereupon
he desisted from his work and stepped
back to % safe place to await the smash
which was inevitable. If Motfman Rea.
gan's reckoning Of time was right, there
Is every reason to believe that the danger
signal was set in ample time to warn
the crew of an approaching train from
either direction that there was trouble
ahead and to stop, That's what danger
signal means, according to the generally
accepted Interpretation of it. Ii the
signal was set, the crew of the train
were at fault in not regardingit. If they
overlooked set signal, they were also
at fault
IN any event, there was a condition
which. if repeated, might result in a
terrible wreck. for. as all travellers on
the Barre and Montpelier Traction ana
Power company's line know, there are
some very dangerous grade crossings be-
tween Barre and Montpelier. Electric
ars are as apt to become stalled on a
sing as at any other point on the line,
81 there cannot be too careful an OBJ
rrance Of the rules which require the
tting Of signals at grade crossings and
/. he needing of them by the crews Of
he steam trains. The B. & III T. & 2.
company and the Central Vermont rail
Dad ought to get together on this mat
ter and have 3 heart .to-heart talk as TO
whether they shah run trains and ears
pell. nssll or have some regard for the
safety Of the travelling public.
