company with several others was engag-
ed in blasting and shortly after o'clock
he attempted to set of two blasts at once.

had gone out. 1t exploded as he drew
near and three of his ribs were driven

Auto Laws and Road Protection.

1t is stated in connection with the
meeting of automobile owners in Wash
ington to secure federal regulation of
automobiles, that William A. Thibe-
deau, general counsel for the American
Automobile association criticised the
Vermont law most severely. He said
it was impossible to go into the State
without violating the law, and expressed
the opinion that, in view of the fact
that Vermont does $14, 900, 600 worth of
business yearly, much of it with outsid
ers, it could afford to amend its auto
mobile law.
On the other hand, it would probably
be impossible to compute the expense
to the State growing out of the damag
ing of our highways through the excess
sive rate of speed at which many of the
visitors drive their auto cars; and it is
only fair that they should bear some
portion of the expense of repairing the
same.
Restriction of speed was imposed at
the outset almost wholly as a matter of
protection to people. Developments in
connection with the effect of excessive
speed on macadam and other modern
roads have shown that restriction must
now be imposed also as protection for
our permanent highways.
When our visitors realize all this they
will appreciate the fact that Vermont 5
auto legislation is simply what all States
will be forced to adopt sooner or later,
if their roads are to be preserved. -

If present plans are carried out Bur

Although plans have been drawn with
the view OF occupying the site of the
Walker block, in addition to the site of
the former Hotel Burlington, negotia-

dowments, or by the state. but 10y the
subscriptions of the people. At the
head of these subs rption lists was al
ways to be found the name of Gamaliel
Painter, in "a bold, large hand followed
by sums of money equally large.
IA colleges work must not be the
carrying out of theories, but the study
ing Of the needs of the community, aud
the setting at supplying them. Thus
was Harvard founded. The colony
needed ministers, and the college was
founded to supply that need. Then doc
tors, and lawyers were needed, and in
their turn the college formed way of
making them. SO 1t was at Middlebury.
The college was founded for the training
of men i'll the law, because the commu-
nifty needed that. We may have been
led astray by the pursuit of culture.
Our fathers would not have seen the
practical use of it. Now we must sup
ply what the State needs, so we have
started our department of pedagogy. 1t

! Only one-half of the rural schools are

SO in Vermont alone. In Connecticut
conditions are even worse. This is the
/ fault of Yale college. Yale was founded
! to give Connecticut what it needed, and
not for rich mems sons from Pittsburg.

we are going to get more money. We
should not turn so much to Rockefeller,

We rememberaMr. VIM. Henry Dean
of Ferrisburgh, as being one the ADLER
members of the House in the session of
1902. We know that his many friends
would be much pleased to see him sent
to the Senate, from the northern dis
trict of this County. Mr.. Dean is not a
man who would seek the Office; but he is
just the kind of man that we need at
Montpelier, and especially at the coming
session. For the State cannot afford to
have any mistake made in regard to the
passage of the Corrupt Practices Act,
such as Mr.. Fleetwood has suggested

other good legislation, unless we senc

stop or pay any attention to the mat
ter; and Mr.. Sargent says he did not
dare to use the horse after. In the
case of Mr.. Stowe the horse was held
with difficulty, but there was no cessa-
ton of speed of the auto. These cases
took place in Cornwall and Bristol.
We add another instance, taken from
the Troy Times, of a plucky boy being
pushed off from the step of an auto,
when going at high speed, so that he
should not get the number of the ma
chine which had just knocked down his
father.
These are only instances of what is
constantly taking place and always will,
so long as autos are permitted to use
the peoples highways.
We are pleased to see that the Bur
lington Free Press has a sensible edi-
torial on the general question of regu-
lation Of autos, which we copy in the
Register this week.
No man should be elected to the
Legislature, either House or Senate
who is not known to be in favor of laws
for the protection of the citizens OF
Vermont in the use of their highways
But this can only be done by eXclud
ing automobiles entirely from certain
roads. These highways and these onl!
will be safe for either those using horses
or going afoot.

Chopper Kills Two Coons.

b, II. Ross, an employee of c. W,
Brownell at Burlington, killed two coons
few days ago while chopping wood on
Brownell mountain in Williston. In
company with James Hammond Mr..
Ross was getting ready to haul a large
Eastwood tree to logging skidway
when coon suddenly ran out of the
hollow trunk and scampered away. Mr..
Ross caught up an axe and ran after the
animal and soon captured it, knocking
it over the head with the axe. He
thought that there might be another one
concealed in the trunk and peeking in
saw two sharp eyes. As the log was
being hauled away the other coon came
out and ran away 1t was caught i'll the
same way as the first and Mr. Ross has
two handsome skins as trophies and the
carcases were made into hot pies. These
little animals that formerly We're plenti-
full i'm most any woods are now scarce
and are rarely seen in the winter.

Atte m pied Murder Follows Strike

An Italian who would not or could not
give his name lies seriously wounded
from the effects of murderous attack
upon him believed to have been made by
members Of the anarchist society in Bar
re because Of the attitude he had taken
in the granite strike.
The fight was first noticed 10y George
Noyes, Of Montpelier, who was at the
corner of Granite and Main streets and
heard the cries of the terrified Italian
way crossing. He FASTENED to the scene
and found two men struggling in the
center of the track with the snow about
them darkened with the blood of the in
iured man, who was being slashed I'M
mercifully on the head with dagger.
Moves did not wait nor call to them to
get up but grabbed the under man by
the collar and with one pull yanked him
10 his feet and away from his assailant
who made one swing for him and then
ran.
| By this time several others who had
heard the row, appeared upon the scene
and one of them ran for the police, so
that within short time two officers ar
rived and the injured man was taken
care of. While one of the officers was
taking the man to the nearest doctor,
which happened to be DIR. Edward
Ghidella, on Main street, the other pat
rolman made a search for the man who
tried to commit the murder, but he
could not be found. 1t was learned
however, he was Ricco Maggini an an
archist, the man who shot conductor
Perkins few years ago on slight provo
cation, and who later served four years
in the house of correction for the offence.
AS it was, he was allowed to leave be-
fore the time was up on account of good
behavior, and has still eight months OF
serve. 1t was thought by the authorit-
les that he was hidden by some anarchis-
tic companions.
