tie race often goes to tho machine which
has the least amount OF bad luck, rather
than to the machine which is capable OF
the greatest speed But even if the
Vanderbilt race resulted in the selection
of the fastest ear, as intended, the value
OF that determination will have to be
weighed IN contrast with the loss Of life
and serious injury to the participants
and spectators to see whether it is worth
while to permit the race. This year
four persons at least viii have paid the
penalty Of the speed craze with their
lives, and the number may be increased
from the list Of the seriously injured.
The greater percentage of the casualties
is to be found in the list OF spectators
who crowd along the race course. Ex-
perience has demonstrated that It Is inn
possible to entirely safeguard the lives
Of the hundreds Of thousands Of people
who flock to see the toying with death,
and experience further shows that it will
be next to impossible to keep the public
from watching the performance. There
fore in this failure il seems that it
would be better to eliminate the danger
entirely by forbidding such spectacies.
Lives are more valuable than the knowl-
edge what automobile can stay on the
track longest and still maintain the
highest rate Of speed.

VERMONT SHOULD DO LIKEWISE.
The state of Massachusetts, has taken
advanced ground, by the enactment of
law which forbids the use Of the common
drinking cup Of any description, the law
becoming operative last Saturday. The
law applies to public fountains, schools,
theatres, public halls and other like
Places and the penalty for breaking
the law is fifty dollars. The measure
was enacted through the efforts largely
of the state health department, and it
is a good move toward the preservation
OF the public health. Communication OF
diseases through the common use Of cups

mont legislature, which couyenes this
week, will be advancing the states in.

law of similar import to the Massachu-
sets statute. Indeed the idea is one
OF the most important which could be
brought before the legislature, ranking
with the good roads movement, OF which
SO much has been heard during the past
few months. The adjustment of the
common drinking cup is bound to come
in Vermont sooner or later; and if Yer
mont should pass a law Of this nature
now it would place itself wen up with
Massachusetts in progressive legislation.

cups used Unfortunately Is founded

Democrats In Vermont.

The Hon. Allen N. Fletcher. YER
mont Republican and member of the
legislature, tells this story;
"a Rutland man was invited to Phila-
delpnia to deliver an address. In the
course Of his remarks, he said that he
was from Vermont and that he was a
Democrat. At the close Of his speech
a gentleman in the audience rose and re-
marked that he WAS much interested in
what tile speaker had said But, said
this gentleman, You say you are from
Vermont and that you are Democrat.

you DO for good society y"

wonderful beauty of its architecture
is enhanced this year by the added
profusion of the artists decorations.
Suspended from its arched roof to

that at night and early morn will
glisten in the rays of iunumerable

the pillars is entwined holly in
plenty. Wreaths of holly on the
walls add to the beauty of the artis-
tic decoration. S.ssz
All this dazzling display of decora-
tion will not divert the eye from the
main feature of Christmas thought.
Deep in the wall of the sanctuary
stands the crib, and to the reverent
beholder the beautiful statues stand
forth in food of light. There will
