NOT AFTER OFFICE.
Nor Does Martin A. Brown Propose to
Have Newspaper Organ.

The purpose OF Martin A. Brown in
acquiring the principal ownership Of
the Deerfeld Valley Times in Whining
ton is thus set forth in the current is
sue of that journal;
"And the Reformer is near enough TO
get good view, and is correct in as
Stunning that Mr.. Brown has no inten-
tions of making this political organ.
His business interests are too large, too
important to warrant him in accepting
any further responsibility, and his con-
nection with the paper has been from
the first and is now purely financial,
the sole result of desire on his part to
preserve to the people of southern Yer
mont. and more particularly those Of
the Deerfeld Valley, their quarter-of-a
'eentury-old newspaper. Nor does he
see at this time any of the rosy bust
ness opportunity" to which the Barre
Times refers.
LESS than year ago Mr.. Brown as
sisted w. d. Policy financially because
IL was put up to him that the paper was
TO be sold and probably would be dis
continued, unless he. or someone else,
would come TO the rescue. He has now
taken il over not only to save himself
further monetary loss, but also to pre-
serve this home paper TO the valley in
which he was born and reared, in which
naturally his sentimental interests are
paramount. This is the status of the
matter as regards Mr.. Browns eonnec-
tion with the paper. He has stated en-
phatically TO the editor what the latter
now states publicly, that he does not
desire to have nor will he exert any ed
itorial control Any uttsrances which may
be made in the columns of The Times
the editor will be solely responsible for,
and il will not be a mouthpiece or organ
of Mr. Brown. The paper is for sale if
the right purchaser comes along, as was
announced last week
"The Times will be conducted solely
for the people, for the further upbuild-
ing and advancement of the community
in which il has been published for so
many years, and we ask for our efforts
the cooperation and assistance OF all.
We shall endeavor to give you a paper
which shall be worthy in all respects Of
your support.
In connection with the matter, the
editor of The Times takes the opportu-
nifty to state that in an interview with
Mr.. Brown the latter has stated en-
phatically that he will under no circum-
stances accept any political Office Of any
character.
This il case Of a mo" which does 1
not mean -yes." as can be testified to /

Martin Brown denies that he has ac-

public wants. Moreover, he's going to
unload If the proper chance comes. Pub
Usher Brown is entitled to be taken at

In his most recent communication
Gov. Fletcher told the public nothing
new regarding proposed special session
of the Vermont legislature. To have
been considering the proposal to call such
a session was only in line with his duty;
had he neglected to consider such a pro-
posal in the present state of affairs he
would have been dereliet to his duty.
Therefore, we trust that Gov. Fletcher
will keep on considering.

The death of a youth in the Brattle-
boro hospital from the effects of a cur
rent of electricity which went through
his body following his act in touching a
wire on high power transmission pole
at Mortified, Mass, is warning enough
of the danger of such foolhardiness. 1t
is hazardous enough to touch wire of
unknown connection as it lies within
easy reach, but to climb power com
pany pole and touch one of the wires Is
nearly the extreme Of foolhardiness. The
lesson of this young boys fate should
be enough to stop such an act on the
part of other careless young peoples 1t
should even stop the practice of investi-
eating wires that seemingly have no con-
nection with dynamos.

Caledonia county's Possible Dilemma.

st. Johnsbury was likely to become u
candidate for congressman in the second
congressional district, and he has been
well spoken of by the press of the state

mind. however. that another prominent

The young man who shot three pas
sengers and terrorized whole train out
of New York City because of his domes-
tic troubles is now sorry for his act Of
responsibility. If sorrow could recall
those three bullets and wipe out the
reign of terror that existed when he ran
amuck, then sorrow at this time would
be of some benefit rather than serving
merely to ameliorate the enormity of his
crime when it comes to the appeal to
human nature which is inclined to forget
and forgive, But the bullets have done
their work.

HERE AND THERE
ABOUT BARRE

That there is need for some sort OF
automobile traffic regulation on Barre's
main street is easily apparent to anyone
with bump of observation. One OBJ
servant citizen counted 20 machines
lined up against the curb on either side
of the street between Depot square and
The Times Office at one time, the ma
chimes being so thick in spots that there
was continuous line and with lane
between for passing traffic that was very
much congested in the late afternoon
rush hour. Indeed, il was quite a feat
of engineering to drive horse or steer
an automobile down the lane without
humping into moving or standing
vehicle.
Therefore, comes the necessity Of re-
curing the placing of automobiles 50
that they will be headed in the same di-
rection as the moving traffic ON that side
of the street. In other words, the motor
vehicles should be drawn up to the curb
on the side of the street on which they
would, by all laws of the road, be driven
when in motion. And while such a re-
striction is placed on automobiles, it
vehicles, else there will be confusion
worse COMPOUNDED when teams and autos
are almost inextricably mixed in the
crush of the street traffic.
When such regulation is thoroughly
learned and strictly enforced the traffic
will move along without such great con-
fusion as now prevails during the bus
lest periods of the day.
Moreover. the practice of leaving au-
tomobiles parked on the chief business
street of the city has its drawbacks
other than those incident to the eonfn-
sion of traffic, Every automobile left
in the road becomes a possible object
of collision from runaway horses, in
which event there probably would be no
redress to the owner of the automobile
in case of damage being done. And. too,
there is the chance of being struck |
through the careless driving of another
motor vehicle, in which contingency the |
owner of the damaged standing machine
might have TO go to the expense and |
bother of law suit TO collect damages, |
with the added possibility OF losing his
case. 1t is risk to keep an automobile |
standing on Main street and the owner |
runs many chance of loss in so doing.
But If the machines must be left on the
street. they ought to be placed in &C.
with definite system, as out
lined
This is becoming more apparent every
lay with the increase in Che use Of mo-
tor vehicles. The automobile census in

Is prepared by the secretary of state,
lhowed 202 privately machines,

which demand about as much road when
