MUNSEY ON WILSON.

The Woodrow Wilson, who has stood
up to shake his fist in the face of stock
market manipulators, is not the Wood
row Wilson we thought he was in the
campaign.
He is bigger and better Woodrow
Wilson than the American people knew
in the contest for the presidency. He
may even be a bigger and better
Woodrow Wilson than he imagined him
self to be. A mans courage, suddenly
demonstrated in trying emergencies,
often astonishes himself more than any
one else; he shows himself qualities
that were never revealed to his own
consciousness.
We saw Mr.. Wilson in the presi-
dental battle as a third man, avoiding
some issues, skimming on the surface
of others, and giving quarter to some
men worse than few he put to the
sword
We feared that he was not fighter.
We never quite trusted III his stamina
or in his consistency.
If the majority of the American peo-
pie were not with Mr.. Wilson on cleo
ton day, the vast majority will follow
him on any issue like the one of letting
unofficial power ntimidate presidents.
The whole American people will be
at his back when he takes a stand like
this No question of partsanship can
come in here. After all, what the ma
ton wants is truly progressive govern
ment, and it will be glad to get it from
any party or any combination of parties
through which progressive government
results.
In carrying out progressive measures
! Mr.. Wilson needs the sentiment of the
whole country solidly behind him, fol
he will have to fight the big powers OF
his own party on some issues. He is
going about getting the people behinc
him in a way that will help him to win.
Yet, win or lose, if he follows the line
indicated by his address to the panic
makers he will leave record of which
the American people will be proud. -

rapidly under the care of DR.. Whitbeck
and it was expected that he would soon
be able to leave for his home. Yester-
day morning he was awakened by severe
pains around his heart and his wife who
had been with him constantly since the
accident, summoned DR.. Johnson, who
resides nearby. He died, however, be-
fore the physician arrived.
Mr.. Hayes was employed as the dis
tributing agent in this section for the
Rambler Automobile Company of New
York. On November 81, he brought
new car to this city and in the after
noon started out to deliver it to Gus

named Collins of Catskil was driving
and he was seated alongside of him.
Dennis Hester, jr., of this city was
riding alone in the tonneau. While
travelling along the State road between
this city and Stottsville, the automobile
skidded and it was turned to one side of
the road where it overturned. The oc-
cupants were thrown out and Hayes
was injured about the arms, chest and
head. 1t was thought at one time that
one arm would have to be amputated.

SMALLEST OF OYNAMOS.
Will Stand on Cent, but is a
Perfect Machine.

The smallest electric dynamo in the
world was exhibited recently before
the French Academy of Science. So
small lis this dynamo that its base would
not occupy all the space on an Ameri-
can penny.
The instrument is perfect miniature
of large machine and is practical
model in every respect 1t works with
hum that sounds like the buzz of a
mosquito. 1t weighs only one-fifth of
an ounce and is siX-tenths of an inch
thick.
The little dynamo can be used not
only as a generator, but as motor
consuming in this latter case two am
peres of electric current at pressure
of two and one-half volts. A small
pocket battery will operate it. New

TWO Injured as Motor Car Hits
WAGON.

Two persons were seriously injured
in collision between a large touring
car and lamplighter's wagon on the
Revere Beach boulevard at the Point of
Pines last evening.
Miss Marie Lambert of SO Appleton
street and B. l.. Thomas, the chauffeur
of the car, were injured and were taken
in an automobile to a physicians Office
in Lynn, and after being attended were
taken to their homes.
William Webster, a amplighter for
the Metropolitan Park Commission, had
a narrow escape from death, as the
team which he was driving was demol-
ished. Both he and the horse escaped
unhurt, however.
The automobile owned by motor car
company of "a Parq square, this city,
contained besides Miss Appleton and the
chauffeur Mr.. and Mrs. Harry G.. Wins
low of II Joy street
They were proceeding toward Lynn.
The lampighter did not notice the APP
proach of the automobile and started
to drive across the boulevard to where
one of the lamps was located. The au-
tomobile struck the team with consid-
cradle force, capsizing it and smashing
it to pieces.

THIS COUNTRY LEADS IN FA-
TALITIES

The Boston Herald is impressed by
the fact that the proportion of ia
taltes in aviation is much greater in
the United States than in foreign coun-
tries. II says that aviation had its real
beginning in this country through the
genius of the Wright brothers, but that
the country is falling behind half a
dozen others in the development of the
science, as shown by the far larger
proportion of fatalities.
The Herald says: Gin the United
States AZ out of 300 aviators have been
killed in the last four years, or one in
seven. This terrible mortality rate has
been unapproached in any other land.
France, with 5000 licensed aviators, has
lost but 70 in the four years, or one in
Al; Germany, with 1900, has lost one
in %; England and Italy, with about
300 aviators each, the same as in this
country, have lost one in 20, or one
third the death rate here; Russia, Bel
GUM and Austria, with 100 to POO
aviators each, have also lost about one
in 20"
The reason for this startling differ
ence between the United States and
other countries in this particular field
appears clear to the Herald, which says
further: "This means that American
airmen, with scanty training, are given
too much to circus stunts and too little
to the scientific study that marks most
of the work done in Europe under gov
ernmental supervision.
This is undoubtedly true. The United
States is remarkable for stunts
which cost life. Many of them are
performed with flying machines, many
with automobiles, and many with revol-
vers and stilettos. AS people we are
far from scientific in the use of these
things. We merely break loose and dc
"stunts" with them.
And so when killings in this country
are compared with those in other cOun-
tries we must not confine the COMPARE
son to the field of aviation 1t must be
spread all over the range of activ-
tiles which involve the taking of human
life.
When it comes to killing, the United
States is truly progressive. 1t can
put it all over" any other civilized
country on earth. Rutland News

The system used for many years in
Vermont for the election of the legisa-
tors had certainly very great advan-
tages over the present one, in that the
members were elected for one year and
it was generally understood that they
would be returned for a second term.
This enabled about one-half of the
Legislature to become accustomed to
its duties and therefore much better
qualified for their work.
Upon this subject very capable cor
respondent writes:
The suggestions of the Free Press in
regard to lengthy sessions due to mex
perienced Legislators are worthy of care
ful consideration. 1t is very evident
that there are grave difficulties con-
nected with our present method of legis-
lation, Most of our representatives are
inexperienced In legislative matters, as
very few are returned for second
term; the wages have been raised to
such an amount that probably it is an

ancial motives, to prolong the term as
much as possible and there is altogether
too much influence permitted at our
Capital from lobbyists.
Under the old system of annual ses-
sions the aforementioned difficulties
did not exist; quite a good number of
members were ratllrnad for second
term; the pay of three dollars per day
did not offer large inducement to
prolong the session, and we
think there was less outside in
fuence eXerted over the members
while engaged in their official duties.
We do not wish to advocate return to
the method of annual sessions but we
do claim that some plan ought to be

devised to insure the return for a second
term of certain number of Legislators.
OF coul Sc, we all know that the most
capable and upright men in the differ
ent towns ought to represent them; but
this is something that is difficult to
regulate by statute.
We make these suggestions to
awaken a consideration and if possible
a general discussion of this question,
believing that in such case a satisfac-
tory solution will be found.
We understand that bill called Inn
Keepers license bill has been intro.
duced, which provides that in any town,
even though that town votes no license,
an inn keepers license may be granted,
thus overthrowing the will of the peo-
pie. Everyone can see that such law
would be very pernicious it could have
but one effect, viz, to very much in
crease intemperence in the State and
open avenues of illegal selling of intox-
icants which do not at present exist.
1t is perfectly evident that no such
bill as this ought to pass, nor do we
think it will pass, if it receives proper
consideration.

WILSON READY TO FIGHT.

Woodrow Wilson rouses high hopes as
he nears the presidential chair He is
making new declarations of his pro-
gressiveness in principle. He is arming
himself, ready to fight for this program
if need be. He goes further, for he
practically declares that he expects to
be forced to fight, and when he does,
while he will seek to look pleasant, he
will use the sharpest weapons at his
command.

THE YEARS MUNIFICENCE.

The $500, 900, 600 estimated as the ag
gregate amount of the notable gifts of
the year in the United States furnishes
a record of unprecedented benevolence
characteristic of a public spirit un-
matched anywhere else in the world.
If it is in part conscience fund.-" so
much the better for the land that wit
resses such moral awakening. The
colossal total has been given for the
most part to colleges, churches, art
museums, hospitals and institutions at
work raising moral and material stand
ards 1t goes towards increasing Amer
ica's unparalleled opportunities and
gives inestimable promise of happier
times to come, when health and wealth
will be much more general than it is
today.
This $500, 600, coo stands for the dis
tribution of wealth on a lavish scale,
but it is only part of the years munif-
cence, which must include the incalcu-
liable sums given by the more modest
millions to local institutions, which are
all playing their part in this wonderful
period OF social progress. - Boston

FRIDAY. JANUARY 8, 1913.
VERMONT PAYS THE PRICE OF
INDIFFERENCE.


The following excellent article is from
the Burlington Free Press of January 2:
We of Vermont complain because
our legislators take long time for the
enactment of little wise legislation
and some that may be termed less wise.
Doubtless there is ample ground for
just complaint in this direction.
Who is responsible for this condition
of affairs? We, ourselves, who help
make lawmakers.
AS intelligent and reasoning beings
we know that the custom of limiting the
service of our Legislators as a rule to
one term is more accountable for the
slow progress of good lawmaking than
any other one influence, and possibly
all other causes combined, and we can
not reasonably expect anything differ
ent 80 long as the people of each town
in Vermont persist in treating an cleo
ton to the Legislature as an honor
created for the benefit of self-seeking
individuals rather than as a position to
be used for the benefit of all the people
of the community as whole.
Every time we are moved to grumble
about the slow Legislature let each one
of US stop to think how great has been
our part in helping to make it slow by
sending every year absolutely new men
from our respective towns to help make
our laws
We would never think of taking a
green hand from the store or the farm
as blacksmith and expect him to put a
good set of shoes on horse in a neat
and efficient manner.
We would never expect a woman, who
never sewed, to make a neat fitting and
trim looking dress.
q, We would not even expect man
during his first day of experience in a
barber shop to give US satisfactory
hair cut.
We do all this and more, however,
by picking out Tom, Dick and Harry,
or what is worse, letting them select
themselves, for the important task of
solving such great questions as the
equalization of taxation, the regulation
of banking and finance, the solution of
the problem of water conservation and
storage, the development of our natur-
al resources, the codifcation of our fish
and game laws. the solving of the great
problems involved in progressive modern
education, pure government, social JUS
tice, material and moral uplft and
other tremendous issues.
And then we complain because these
men green at the most unimportant law
making spend two months in learning
first how to make common laws.
Let US hang our heads in shame over
our lack of common sense every time
we pass around legislative position to
new men and then protest because they
do not solve in three months problems
that some of you have been trying all
your lives to help solve, but as yet
without success.

THE SENATORSHIP.

The course of the Progressives in the
Massachusetts Legislature on the
question of the United States senator
ship is plain enough. They will agree
on their own man and will support him
in the balloting Not one of the can
didates brought forward by the Re-
publcans as possibilities can be con-
sidered an out and out Progressive in
genuine sympathy with the platform or
in full support of the principles.
Some of the men in the field nave
aided legislation on Progressive lines
more than others. But no one success
fully meets the test. Not one but
would be found if sent to Washington
in opposition to some part of the
present program.
The Progressives in the Massachusetts
Legislature, like those in Maine and
New Hampshire, will do more to for
ward their organization and its objects
by centering all the time upon its aims
and by pressing them increasingly.
They are at work for principles, not
for men. And the choice now for a SEN
atoral candidate must naturally be for
one who stands for their entire pro-
gram and in all sincerity. Boston
