With fatal accidents at Bennington,
Rutland and at Lyndon and two other
wrecks in which people were injured,
all within a week, railroading in Yer
mont shows its seamy side. Not all
railroad accidents can be averted,
but the fact that some railroads get
along with only very rare accidents,
proves that other roads could do bet
ter If they would. The probability
is that they will when compelled and
not much before.

The Vermont Election.

II needs no double barrelled. two
column editorial to tell the readers
of this paper the result of the elect
ion last week in this state. They
know and they know also what
caused the revolution.
Both state and national policies
figured in that result
Long continued rule by one party,
in which a nomination had become
equivalent to an election, had bred
discomfort among the voters, who
felt that they had little voice in the
affairs of state or nation.
Party leaders had manipulated
caucuses and conventions and par
celled out the Offices for years in
advance, and all that was expected
OF the people was to ratify, without
question, those nominations
Il was inevitable that a time would
come when the people would rise in
their might and reassert their right
to rule.
That is exactly what has happened.
Good men, men that the state can
not AFFORD to lose; men whose ser
vices are needed and whose record
is such as tor entitle them to continu-
ance in office, have gone down with
others whom the people believed
were not worthy the high places to
which they aspired.
The legislature will choose the
State officers for the coming two
years from the governor down.
Looking over the list of senators
and representatives elected, we feel
sure that they will act for the best
interests fthe whole state regard
less of party.
More important than all this is the
stand that a majority will take in
favor Of progressive legislation.
The election in a broad way signi.
fies the determination of the people
to have certain things done; certain
measures enacted into law, certain
obsolete laws repealed and others
that are manifestly unjust and
against the best Interests Of the PEG
pie replaced by those that are for
the good Of the common people and
the whole state.
We believe an honest attempt will
be made TO abolish the present in
iquitous system Of double taxation.
We believe that Labor will be Civ

exemption law will be passed.
We believe that there will be more
progressive legislation for the farm
ers, the greatest industry in Yer
mont, and the only one that has not
grown and kept pace with the prog
ress of the State.
Vermont will take her place with
progressive sister states in advertis-
ing the opportunities the State offers
to those seeking cheap, productive
farms near good neighbors, schools
and churches.
No state offers greater induce
ments to those seeking homes and
who are willing to work to win.
Whole farms with comfortable
buildings thereon can be bought in
Vermont, on the most liberal terms,
for less than ten acres of unimprov-
ed land can be had in the great Cana
dian northwest, twenty to fifty miles
from a railroad.
This is because the desirable class
of settlers do not know it.
They read the alluring advertise
ments put out by the Canadian gov
eminent, the railroads, boards of
trade, etc, regarding that far away
country, but nothing about Vermont
with its fertile farms that can be
bought for half what they are worth.
The work Secretary of State Guy
w. Bailey has done with a meager
$4,000 has demonstrated that great
results can be secured along these
lines if the legislature will give him
tenth part of the money to adver-
tise Vermont that a single province
in Canada spends every year.

The Connecticut Democrats have
renominated Governor Simeon e,
Baldwin. Governor Baldwin was one
of the Democratic campaign speakers
in Vermont during the recent contest
and while he did not strike his
Vermont audiences as an orator or as
an effective campaign speaker he
was greatly liked by those who met
him personally, and seemed to be a
fine old gentleman.

The report of the Senate committee that investi-
gated the Titanic disaster is largely summary of
conclusions already reached by the general public;
yet, it presents these facts and differences in man
compelling that the notice of all nations will
be won and it is to be hoped, speedy and worldwide
reforms accomplished.
The committees report, set forth by its chair
man, Senator William Alden Smith, shows that it's

from eyewtnesses of the great tragedy; and in max

the fated steamer is censured for having failed to
heed the repeated warnings of the iceberg ahead.
Captain Lord, of the California is denounced for
having wantonly disregarded the Titanics
signals of distress. The British board of
trade criticised for its axty in regulations and
inspection in shipping laws The undiscipned char
Ecter of the is held responsible for the fact
that the lifeboats took off only seven hundred and
four persons when four hundred more could
have been saved through promptness and efficiency.
The steamship company is condemned for having
provided life-saving equipment for only eleven hun
dred and seventy-six persons out of total of
than twenty hundred passengers and crew. Presi-
dent Ismay, of the White Star Line is justly blamed
for the reckless speed the vessel maintained under
perous conditions and for the lack of organized eff
fort toward rescue The need of stricter supervision
for wireless teegraphy operations is also pointed out
by the committee
Epitomized, the report stresses the dire import
ance of more rigid inspection of steamships of ade-
quate life-savng equipment of adequate regulation

the world powers act in concert to bring about these
