State Farm Burea U.

The State Of New York maintains a
department of agriculture of it's own.
One of its duties is to sell farms, and
during the past year it sold 256 farms
amounting in value to more than ST.
OOO,0 900. Over 10, 900 letters of inquiry
from persons in western states and
some from Europe concerning POSSIBLE
tiles of New York state farms were re-
ceived and answered during the year.
The department has record of at least
200 families who are expecting to move
into that state this spring, options
already having been taken on seventy
four farms, Land seekers are turning
their attention to New York state be-
cause they are encouraged to do so.
The State department has given special
attention to the matter of placing on
cheap farms foreigners who have had
some agricultural experience and are
competent to undertake farming in
America. During the past several
years an agent has been maintained in
New York City for the special purpose
of taking up personally with foreign peo-
pie who might be interested in the
opportunities awaiting them on farms
throughout the State. More than
1000 farm laborers have been provided
with places during the year. These
persons represented twenty-six differ
ent nationalities, the largest number,
1,745 being Irish, and 1,406 Germans.
Other agricultural states would do well
to pattern after New York. Burning

The Right Rev. OH W. Whitaker.
bishop of the Protestant Episcopal do
cese of Pennsylvania, died at his resi-
dence in Philadelphia Thursday, Feb.
ruary 8.
He had been in feeble health for
long time, and death was due principally
to exhaustion, following a severe attack
of grip, and to old age. At his bedside
when he passed away were two nieces
and other relatives. His wife died in
June, 1908.
Bishop Whitaker was born in New Sa-
lem, Mass, and prepared for the priest
hood at Middlebury College, and in the

coadj tor, and the wealthiest clergy

for treatment, and the other two were
taken to their homes.
The taXicab was demolished, but
neither the motor truck nor its occu-
pants was injured
The injured clergymen were riding at
the head of the procession. The big
motor truck that collided with the taxi
cab was laden with furniture and is
owned by Springfield firm. The truck
was operated by Henry Moore, who had
with him as an assistant A. J. Forgetto.
Both Moore and Forgetto live in Spring
field.
Although halted for few minutes by
the collision, the funeral procession kept
on to Calvary cemetery in Chicopee.
FIR. Duffy was cut about the face,
bruised about the body and sustained a
scalp wound. He will probably have to
remain in the hospital about week.
Besides an injury to his back, FIR.
Donohue received minor cuts. He will
be out in day or two.
The collision was primarily due to a
heavy pail of smoke which came from
mill chimney in the vicinity. The
smoke shut off view of the funeral
procession from the driver of the auto
truck until he was almost upon the taxi
cab. When the auto truck driver
changed his course the wheels slipped,
allowing the ponderous vehicle to crash
into the lighter machine. Boston Her

Cry OF BURLINGTON, VT.
Hon. Joseph BATTELL.

Hon. JOSEPH BArrEl1~
My Dear Yours of today received noted
in reply would say pleased with proposed amendments
and hope that they will be ratified by present Legislature as
they remedy the defects Of the present law Would pleased
appear any hearing held and explain situation here our city
to the trouble of getting convictions under present
Thanking you for the interest you taking this matter am
Very respectfully yours,
JAMES E. BURKE
Mr. Burke afterwards came to Montpelier, appeared
before the committee and urged that the law be
SO as to the ambiguity referred But we are
sorry say the Committee seemed be utterly Indifferent
to the matter On the other hand Mr. Burke what he
could protect the e safety and comfort of the citizens
Of Burlington
The latter part of above section is as follows:
Nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to a
feet the rights OF the selectmen of the proper oc
as Of city, incorporated village and said officials shall
have authority make special regulations to the speed
of such automobiles vehicles upon narrow or dan
roads ways Such special regulations shall be
subject to appeal to the state highway commissioner
whose decision in the shall be final"
This both assumes that the selecmen OF town have
authority and also gives them authority make special reg
ulaons the speed Of automobiles danger
ways something that the Legislature has complete power
to do We will refer the unanimous decision of the
Supreme Court of Maine regarding exclusion
biles from three Mount Desert Island Maine
recently published in this Journal But law deegatng such
authority any evidently beyond the power of
any Legislature to enact; that is make the dictum
final in the government of the State If it could
do this it could change representative government
absolute monarchy
The latter part of Section provides for the enforce
ment of the law regulating the operation automobiles
something which the present law makes provision for
Section is similar to the New York law which was
enacted of the features in automobng
namely seriously inurng people and then speeding away
frequently leaving them dead or dying on the road
Section provides that where there are parallel or nearly
parallel roads leading through town. automobiles can be
restricted to of these roads. This is much needed
reform, and would enable the women of Vermont once
to ride certain roads, least with comfort and
safety. No with right principles object to such
regulation.
