Liability Law.

The question of employers liza
bility is under country wide discus
sion. In six states commissions are
at work upon this problem; namely,
New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Illi-
nois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. A
commission has also been created by
act of Congress to frame national
law. In &c countries or self
governing colonies liability laws are
in force. These, it seems. are all
based either on the English plan of
making the employer liable except
in cases of gross negligence on the
part of the employee, or the German
plan of having the state collect La
bility insurance from the employer.
A former Burlingtonian, Prof.
Carroll w. Doten of the Massachu-
sets School of Technology, is chief
investigator for the Massachusetts
commission for industrial accidents.
In a speech before labor union the
other day Prof. Doten laid down the
essentials to be considered in draft
ing an employers liability law.
These are five in number, and are of
interest in Vermont in view of possi-
BILE legislation by the incoming legis-
lature. The points named by Prof.
Doten are as follows
ssThe law must not be of such a
character as to promote carelessness
and malingering.
1t should be so framed as to pro-
mote the prevention of accidents.
It should be so arranged as to
eliminate law suits and the expenses
of litigation.
''It should be so designed as to
promote better relations between
employers and employees.
cit should not interfere with the
| free movement of labor"
The opinion of the News, long
held, is that obligation should be
| placed on both sides. The employees
| themselves should bear. a part of the
burden of accidental injury or death.
| 1t would not be fair-it is not fair
to assume that all the fault of in
| jury or accident lies upon the

Justices in High Places.

Judge j. L. Martin of Vermont
while serving in the United States
district court in New York recently,
sentenced Charles r. Heike, former
secretary and treasurer of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company to
serve eight months in the New York
penitentiary on BlackweIl's island
and to pay a fine of $4,000 on con-
viction of conspiring to defraud the
United States government by the
underweight of sugar. Judge Mar
tin granted a stay of execution of the
sentence pending an appeal TO the
United States circuit court of ap-
peals.
Heike's sentence is the culminat-
ing point in the federal governments

PRESS COMMENT.
Use of Road Drag Advocated.

A little use of the road drag is be-
ing made in the state of Vermont
but we believe that if it's use should
become common in every town in the
state, a great improvement would be
made in the condition of our high
ways with a comparatively small
expense. Pertaining to this subject
we copy the following from the Enos-
burg Standard
1.-The road drag has been used for
some time past on the road from
East Berkshire to Richford with the
result that that piece of highway is
kept free from ruts and holes and in
f1rst-class condition. Similar re-
suits have been. obtained from the
use of the drag on the highway from
Franklin to North Sheldon. In
Montgomery and Franklin, two of the
most advanced towns in the county,
as far as highways are concerned,
the local commissioners make regu-
lar and methodical use of the road
drag with the result that the main
roads of those towns are smooth and
hard
s.The roads on the Main street in
Enosburg Falls are and have been
all summer a disgrace to the village.
Rough and uneven and full of stones,
every rain has left them filled with
ruts and mudholes. The best high
way authorities, including the county
supervisor, agree that the use of the
road drag on the village street would
have kept them hard and smooth. Is
there any good reason why it should
not be used?-[ Vermont Union
Journal.

cass taken nearer and showing the
exposed rotten yiscera.
No. is a view of the hog pen.
The hog shown is dead and begin
ming to decompose. AS one gentle
man said, 1t was evidently too much
even for the hog to stand. =
No. is closer view of the hog,
showing it's bloated condition.
No. 6 is view of the heads and
feet shown to the left of l.
No. is view of the interior
of the slaughter house and should
receive particular attention. You
will notice the very filthy condition
of the floor, the side walls, blood
tub, and the barrel upon which the
quarter of beef is placed. This beef
will go directly from this disgust
ingly filthy resting place to some
market and eventually reach some
body's table You will notice the
live stock shut in with ready access
to the dressed meat. When
the door was opened the calf shown
was licking the quarter of beef on
the barrel
No. 8 is another view of the in
terror, showing the meat hung in
close proximity to the large wall
spaces which open directly into the
hog pen. 1t is thus directly exposed
to the foul doors which are readily
absorbed by. the fresh warm meat,
to the flies which infest such place,
to rats and other vermin. The OBJ
ject on the floor which did not
take plainly is a partly skinned
foetus which, from it's appearance,
had been there for some weeks.
I should be glad if you could and
would place these pictures where
they may be seen by all who may
wish to, and that they may cause

Vermont Institutions.

With the converting of the legis-
lature the management and needs
of such state institutions as the in
state aided schools and colleges
come to the front again and will de-
mand a large amount of careful con-
sideration by the law makers, because
it is on these institutions that a
very large proportion of the states
money is expended. If the money
for these institutions is wisely ap-
propriated and expended it will go
long way toward making the incom-
ing administration a financial sue
cess.
Annual reports already issued
show what two of the institutions
desire. A write-up of the industrial
school shows that off from the farm
of 200 acres the boys of the institu-
ton have produced the following
crops this year.
Two hundred tons of hay, 500
bushels of oats, 800 bushels ear corn,
1900 bushels Mangrel wurtzels,
$50 tons ensilage, 100 bushels beans,
500 bushels potatoes, 5000 heads
of cabbage, 40 bushels green peas,
40 bushels string beans, rs bushels
onions, 200 bushels turnips, 100
bushels table beets, two tons squash,
so bushels carrots, 40 bushels to-
matoes, etc.
The boys also care for the dairy
and make the butter and are given in
struction that will qualify them to
operate the best creameries. The
girls are also given as good train
ing in dress making, cooking and
other house work.
There are about $50 inmates now
and the buildings are intended to
accommodate only 100. The appro-
priation per capita in 1861 was
$20S.33, and in 1909-10 it was
$172.S3, which shows that the in
stitution is we'll managed. The sug-
gestion of the management is that
as the state has no place to care for
homeless or worse than homeless
children that it should establish such
a place in connection with the in
dustrial school where they could re-
ceive the same practical training
that children in the penal institution
are receiving. These unfortunate
children would be housed in cottages
built on the grounds, but free from
the stigma of being convicted of
crime
The other institution which has
made it's needs public is the state
hospital for insane. We recently
spoke of some of the economies that
had been effected by the present eff
cient management here. We did not,
however, say all that might be said
The report of the officials of that in
stitution gives considerable space to
a report of the fires in the third ward
and the paint shop last winter. A
criminal insane with shop where
some mechanical work could be done
and a building on the woman's side
where tubercular patients could be
kept, we'll equipped hydrothera-
peutic bath apparatus and green
house are things asked for this year
in addition to the regular appropria-
tions.
1t is not our purpose to discuss the
advisability of doing these things
as we are not qualified to judge, but
we place them before the public fol
it's consideration.

Haskins Seeks Revenge.

Ex-Congressman Haskins of Brat
tleboro has sent a circular letter to
the epresentatives-elect from Wind
ham county urging them to favor
Judge H. S. Peck of Burlington for
the house speakership on the ground
of his superior. fitness over the other
candidates. Col Haskins has a right
to this opinion, if it is an honest and
unbiased one, and if he deems the
good of the state requires it perhaps
he is justified in going to the trou-
BILE of urging it upon others. There
is room for the suspicion, however,
that Col. Haskins has not forgotten
the attitude of F. E. Howe of Ben
nington, another leading candidate
for the speakership, toward him when
he was seeking his last reelection to
congress; nor Mr.. Howe's outspoken
hostility to Speaker Cannon, who was
Col Haskins' special patron; nor,
indeed, the whole newspaper bunch
who opposed his reelection two
years ago. Judge Peck is man of
ability in certain lines, but utterly
without legislative experience, and
to choose him in preference to Editor
Howe, man of superior natural
capacity, trained during many ses-
sions of constant attendance, as re-
porter, and with the experience of
the last session in actual legislative
work, frequently occupying the chair
with notable efficiency, would seem
to be taking the wrong man. Col.
Haskins' self-imposed task seems the
more ungracious, coming from Wind
ham county, the birthplace and early
home of Mr.. Howe, and we do not
imagine it will have much effect

Said Old London Also Has Produced
 the Chantecler Face.

New Workout of staid old Lon don has come something new. this time. or. to be more exact. two new things. the Chantecler jacket and the Chantecler face. It would be diff cult to say which is the more star tingly novel of these two latest prod = ucts of the London fashion houses.
 The Chantecler jacket is reminiscent of the Hen Pheasant's costume in Rostand's play. The jacket is cut pointed in the back. giving it the appearance of a birds tail. and it is said that the new style has already had quite vogue in London.
 The Chantecler veil makes it's owner appear little like a Maori chieftaiu. ess with tattooed features. On tic gauZy meshes of the veil are ern- bossed chandeliers with growing heads. Tapping wings and flowing tails. The combination of jacket ind veil is nothing if not novel.
