Head longs. Long Exposures and the

An event was the taking of the first
photograph in the olden days. when
photography was still hampered by
pitchforks and long exposures. There
are few good baby pictures of our
fathers. The fond mother and father
sit bolt upright. frozen or petrified,
while between them is a very starchy
little dress surmounted by very
bury little spot which represents a
composite of several partial likenesses
of the hopeful.
But 1t was with the child of ten or
twelve years that the old time photog-
rapher succeeded best, the child that
has reached the age capable of feeling
the tremendous responsibility of hav.

The above statement of owner or
driver of automobile being blameless, is
occasionally made by those ignorant of
all law in such matters, but perhaps
more frequently by parties themselves
owning automobiles, is arrant nonsense.
In all cases those who use automobiles,
are responsible for the damage done
by them.
Individuals are PERMITTED to own
dogs, and the State grants to them a
license to do so, but if any of these
dogs kill sheep or do any damage the
owners of the dogs are liable for it.

FRIDAY, JUNE "a, 1910.
Proposed Platform for Republican
State Convention.

The Burlington Free Press of We'd
nesday gives the draft of platform to
be submitted to the Republican State
Convention held at Montpelier June 3d.
In the main, it would appear to be very
excellent, touching upon the Tariff,
Reciprocity, National Department of
Public Health, Political Primaries, La
Dor, Education, Weights and Measures
and Conservation of Natural Resources.
The proposed changes in our Con-
stitution, recommended by the commits
sion created by the Legislature of 1908,
we may have occasion to mention again,
when we have the recommendations be-
fore us.
There remain the suggestions con-
corning highways. The trouble with
the committee here is that they are en-
tirely behind the times. The present
question, in which all the citizens of
Vermont are deeply interested, except
ing a very few who own automobiles,
or hope to get some lucrative office in
connection with bodybuilding, is, how
can we make our roads safe, now so
unsafe as to make it impossible for
many Vermonters to use them at all
To this there is but one answer, that
automobiles must be restricted to GER
tain roads.
All the remarks of the committee
upon the subject are in the interests of
auto mobiists, large part of whom live
out of the State. That is, the people of
the State are expected to act the part of
serfs in building roads which neither
they nor their families can use without
serious danger to their lives, not to
mention the loss of all pleasure or COM
fort in driving over our State, one of
the greatest blessings of our lives.
No man who is man, or true Yer
monter, when he thinks it over, will vote
for any person for any office who is
instrumental in destroying the safe use
of our highways.
Yesterday we drove some fifty miles
over our county roads, selecting the
poorest so as to avoid automobiles,
and this, although we pay large taxes
in number of towns, much of which
is expended on highways, and the
automobiles for whom the best roads
are to be built, pay little or nothing.
1t is true that the highway surveyors,
County or State, are well paid for their
work, and therefore are strongly in
favor of State system, but we do not
believe that the great body of tax
payers in Vermont are DESTROYS of pay.
ing, or will continue to pay, large sums
for roads they cannot use in safety, OF
at all.
At dinner we stopped at Eagle Inn,
Orwell, very creditable and handsome
hotel, that used to have guests for the
season, but the landlord told me that
this trade now was a thing of the past
because of automobiles. He did not
know how the automobiles had affected
Mr.. Hyde's business; but we know il

In 1901 Mr.. Marlatt, of the Bureau

for Toxic upon the trail. Striking in
to the interior, he found plenty OF San
Jose scale, indeed, but only in those
districts where American orchard
stock had ben introduced from the Pa

none was found. So it appeared that
America was the sinner instead of the
