spoken of in the Homestead; there
by on means has been anything like
a failure.
Seemingly Franklin county has not
shared any better than some other
districts. Swanton reports that the
run is over after a short and not very
good season, while Enosburg Falls
says that not much sugar or syrup
has been made yet, and it is the con-
sensus that the season is on the
brink of being over. Richford has
been obliged to content itself with
half a crop and Montgomery is face
to face with the fact that the season
has not been very good" Fairfax
comes forward with the remark that
the yield has been below the average
both as to quantity and quality. In
Fairfield scarcely one-half of the usu-
al crop has been gathered but there
is the happy qualification that the
quality is little above the average
So it would seem that the farmers
have been confronted with adverse
conditions that have resulted in a
curtailment of a crop which is Of nc
small importance. There is nothing
else to blame, seemingly. than the
weather But in the long run, Ma
tuTe compensates, and abundance of

Whenever the subject of railroad
accidents is up for discussion by
Americans there nearly always will
be someone who will drag out the
statistics of fatalities on European
and American lines, which. 1t must
be admitted, put the roads of this
country in a bad light. But figures
taken by themselves are misleading;
they surely are in this case as
consideration of the facts will show
The president of the Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy railroad, in LET
ter TO several governors of western
states, declares thats the one great
evil contributing 10 the many deaths
on railroads is trespassing. Mr.. Mil
Ter urges that legislation be passed
which will enable railroads to pro
tect themselves by protecting the pub
lie
The interstate commerce commits
sion shows that in the years 1902 to
1911, 51,1S3 persons were killed while
unlawfully on the property Of the
transportation lines of the country.
When this statement is compared
with the statement that the average
number of persons killed by derail.
ment is less than IL year. then Will
realization be had OF how serious
problem is that which is presented
by the trespassers. Death Is liable
to present itself anywhere and at any
time, of course, but sure death is sure
to be had on a railroad track If the
human tries to take up the running
time OF the train. There Is nothing
new In this, Il is no revelation. but
despite its obviousness, there are
fourteen people in the country every
day who refuse to pay any attention
to IL and as result serve as object
lessons that humans must come on
second best in personal encounters
with the iron horse.
Then again, trespassers present an
other menace. The tramp. dlsgrun,

anything to better conditions. They
find II difficult to secure convictions
under the present laws and ask foi

countries rigidly enforce their strict
laws against trespssslng with most
excellent results, and this example
the railroad heads use. Why should

MAY REMOVE BAN ON DANCING
Chicago Methodists to Urge New Poi
icy at General Conference

Chicago. ILL.,, April 29.-Chicago
Methodists will descend upon the
forthcoming General Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church at
Minneapolis on May prepared to
make a vigorous effort to have re-
moved from the Methodist Discipline
the ban now placed on dancing, card
playing, and theatre-going. This de-
csion was arrived at today by a
majority vote cast by the Chicago
Methodist preachers meeting.
The local organization by vote OF
So to % adopted a long memorial to
the conference. leaving under the ban
only the use or sale OF intoxicating
liquors.
II is explained that the reason for
this is not that dancing and card play
ing and theatre-going are in greater
favor in the church than formerly
but that IL Is deemed best TO handle
the problems in a different manner
leaving II to the free working Of the
individual conscience. Following is
the wording of the part of the section
OF the Methodist Discipline referring
to harmful amusements that the
preachers meeting recommended be
dropped.
Dancing, playing at games Of
chance, attending theatres, horse ra
ces, circuses, dancing parties, Of
patronizing dancing schools or taking
such other amusements as are obvi
ously of misleading or questionable
moral character"

AUTOMOBILES AND MAcAoAm

The justice of the laws taxing au-
tomobile owners for the benefit of
highway funds is becoming more APP
parent as time goes on. The advo
Gates of such legislation have main
tanned that the automobiles were
responsible for a large amount of
wear and tear on the roads, and that
the owners OF the vehicles should
bear a portion of the expense neces-
sary to keep up the thoroughfares
While the owners of the horseless
carriages have been backward in ad-
hitting all that has been charged
against the automobile in this connec-
ton, they have made but little If
any opposition to the tax. Provided
the money raised was expended upon
the roads, they appeared to be salts
fed.
That the automobile has come to

has been definitely established by

Vermont Man Won Broad Jump in

A. L. Gutterson, Vermont's great
track man, has returned to Burling-

part in the Pennsylvania relay races

he was entered with the mark of "a

lead of more than two feet three in

in the event, j. W. WATSON of Notre
Dame. The other positions were
taken by H. s. Babcock of Columbus,
A. l.. Jones of Pennsylvania, all OF
whom were grouped about the Il
feet mark
The metropolitan papers devoted
extra space to Guttersons perform
ance, which is considered all the
more wonderful because it was &C
complished in downpour of rain on
a drenched track. How far he could
have gone on fair day may perhaps
be estimated when it is known that
WATSON is a 23-foot man and was
able to only make q feet nine inches
