FOR SANER FOURTH.

The action Of the Brattleboro bailiffs in
planning to closely restrict the sale Of ex-
plosives on the Fourth Of July will be
generally commended, although IT is un-
fortunate for the dealers that they were
not notified in time to countermand their
orders for goods which will be under the
ban. Each Fourth Of July has numbered
its victims for years in a ghastly array
nearly equal TO the total American casu-
alties in the Spanish American war
Within the past five years the movement
for a saner Fourth has been spreading
rapidly, and the governors Of nearly all
OF the states are now enlisted in this re-
form movement. Many Of the Massa-
chusetts cities had already taken the mat
ter in hand 10y issuing drastic orders ap-
plicabe TO their respective local fields
but yesterday Gov. Draper, by signing
the hill passed by both branches Of the
legislature, put very stringent law into
effect throughout the state. II restricts
fire. crackers TO two inches in length. with
black powder as the only explosive, and
no fireworks can contain picric acid or
picrates When the Massachusetts SEN
ate discussed the bill one member said
he was a dealer in fre-crackers. but he
hoped the bin would pass because he
recognized it as a humanitarian meas
ure.

George Westinghouse OF Pittsburg, one
OF the most famous and successful Ameri-
can inventors, has completed another in
yention which he believes will rival in
Importance his air brake. He says 1t
will reduce the expense of running all
rubber-tire vehicles 60 per cent His
device is in the form of an air spring,
which is a series of plungers working on
air cushions, on the same principle as an
elevator plunger. The air spring is
placed under each corner Of the frame of
an automobile, and absorbs the shock,
Each spring is a cylinder about three
inches in dimeter and 10 inches long, the
plunger connected with the frame of the
car working up and down, as increas sing
or diminishing weight requires Mr..
Westinghouse claims that an automobile
fitted with solid tires and with the air
spring works more easily than the rubber
tired automobile in general use at the
present time.

z to Il POUND SALMON.

The finest fishing in Vermont is found
at Averill lake in Essex county, where the
catches on the first day Of the open sea-
son included $50 pounds of salmon and
many trout and lake trout. number Of
the salmon weighed from to Il pounds
each. This shows what can be done in
our Vermont lakes by stocking and pro-
tec;ing them. Large catches have also
been made at Caspian lake. several lake
trout weighing from 16 to q pounds and
salmon weighing upwards of pounds
each having been landed.

James X. Batchelder is in favor of the
state building and owning the main trunk
line highways, but does not approve the
assessing of a direct tax or the bonding
of the state to accomplish. such result.
The Springfield Reporter evidently thinks
Mr., Batchelder has presented a puzzle
picture, for it calls upon him to explain
in these words: IF he can show how
more taxes may be squeezed out of cor
porations, or If he can point out sufficient
extravagancies which, if corrected, would
help his trunk line highway scheme, he
has a better chance to serve the state
than he ever had before in all his long
public life or is ever likely to have again.
Let him show how the state may get,
without direct taxation or by bonded in
debtedness mortgaging the future, any
considerable number of miles of trunk
line highway at $4,000 mile, if he can"

The Boston Journal scored a scoop on
all the other New England papers Tues
day 1t announced in a headline that
Countess d'Ossol is 100 Years Old,
and followed this in the text with the an
nouncement that Margaret Fuller,
Countess d'Ossoli observed the Tooth an
niversary Of her birth yesterday at her
home, II Cherry street, Cambridge,
Mass" This statement was rather start
ling in view of the fact that the noted
woman referred TO was drowned in a
shipwreck off Fire Island, New York,
nearly 60 years ago.

Brattleboro, the town which objected
to the Proctor sanatorium, now has a
tuberculosis camp. The only difference
is that Brattleboro will simply have its
own patients to care for. which, however
does not explain away the former repug-
nance to the state institution. 1t must be
that Brattleboro thinks better Of the idea
in general-[Barre Times.
Here is another case of going away from
home to get the news. We never knew
that Brattleboro objected to the Proctor
sanatorium, or had a chance 10 object to
it, One of the selectmen of the town once
objected to the proposed use of the Aus
tine fund for the purpose of establishing
a hospital for consumptives, but he simply
expressed his own opinion and did not
speak for the town as a whole.

TO THE CANDIDATES.

General apathy is stil in command OF
the gubernatorial campaign. Everybody
admits this. \ sure way to arouse inter-
est and enthusiasm is TO bring the four
avowed candidates together to discuss
state issues, the gathering to assume the
form OF a joint debate as far as possible.
The PhnniX viii gladly arrange the de-
tails for the first meeting, TO be held in
Brattleboro. il each Of the four candidates
will consent to appear. We want the
entry list complete, with all four can
didates under agreement to be present, or
no debate to be arranged. What say you,

Wilmington IlmeS.l
Thus far three announcements of can
didates for the second place on the ticket
have been made: George H. Leland of
Springfield, DR.. F. Thomas Kidder of
Woodstock and L, p. Slack Of St. Johns
bury Leland and Kidder are from the
same county which fact will, in the nat
ural course of things, eliminate both of
them Mr.. Slack is making an aggressive
fight, but his candidacy does not meet
with the approval which its sponsors ex-
pected.
The name Of E. w. Gibson of Brattle-
boro has been often mentioned in con-
nection with the position. 1t is under
stood that Senator Gibson is averse to
the making of a fight for the place be-
lieving that the time has arrived when
the kind Of campaign which has been nee
essary in the past ought to be discouraged
He has been working consistently for a
primary election law because he believes
it ought to be adopted in this state, and
doubtless feels that his work in that be-
half ought not to be encumbered with an
active candidacy for any office.
Senator Gibson is the president pro
tempore of the Vermont Senate, AS a
presiding officer he won the commenda-
tion of the entire Legislature. 1t is safe
to say that Windham county will unan-
| imously support him.

For Clean Elections

Our statutes make it punishable Of
fense for any candidate for office or his
agent Ito use any money or other valuable
thing, directly or indirectly" except for
personal expenses, to secure his nomina-
tion at a convention. This strikes di-
rectly at "heelers," secret agents, and
delegates who accept car fare, dinners,
liquids, etc And they can be called be-
fore a court or legislative Investigating
committee and be compelled to testify
under oath. AS nothing so strikes at the
vital interests of the community a fund
is now being raised TO see that this law
Is enforced.-[Political Advertising.

The Springfield Reporter in commenting
on the lieutenant governorship says: 80
far as Hon. George F. Lelands candidacy
is concerned, the Reporter is duly author
lied to state that if the honor comes to
him he will under no circumstances ask
for or consent to promotion" This has
an old, familiar sound. 1t does not. how
ever, constitute a very strong argument
for recognition.

The Woodstock Age, in recording the
results of the first day Of the fishing sea-
son in Windsor count, tells of one man
who caught 90 trout. The legal catch in
a single day is limited to five pounds or
so ounces. Here, then, we have the prop
ostion of 63 trout, each over six inches
in length, and averaging but a little over
an ounce each in weight. Too thin.

Or. Mead was quoted as saying in a
speech al Rutland that he would favor
legislation compelling arbitration in dis
putes involving capital and labor. This
is the kind of talk that sounds well in
campaign, but no compulsory arbitra-
ton law would stand the test. 1t would be
sure TO be declared unconstitutional, for
the reason that it would involve the prin-
ciple of taking property without due pro-
cess Of law.
