Nearly $1,000 in Auto Fines.

Automobile cases made up a large
part OF the business in the Flatbush

to nearly 81 200. Second offenders were
assessed $50.
Frank Ritzo, chauffeur, of Spring

DRUNKEN AUTO DRIVERS.

"A Brattleboro automoblist has
been fined for running his car while
he was in an intoxicated condition.
The penalty is inadequate. His license
should be revoked forthwith. We re-
quire of man who runs a locomotive
many years of training experience,
knowledge of machinery, and absolute
sobriety. The locomotive runs in a
given track and cannot well diverge
from that. The requirements of man
who runs an automobile which goes
anywhere are small, but they should
include sobriety. News.
The contemporary has crowded into a
few lines about all that can be said on
this pr OPPOSITION. A drunken man has
no right to be at the wheel of an auto
mobile, whether the machine is running
to the country or on the streets of a
city.
The automobile itself is source of
sufficient danger without its potenti-
alities being increased by a mentally
dazed man being in charge. A man
who does not realize his responsible
ties enough to keep rum out when he
is driving an automobile does not de-
serve the right to run one. AS q
measure of protection, not alone tc
himself but to the sober users of oul
streets and highways, he should be
prevented from handling machine.
Therefore, not only should he be
punished for the given offence, bu
steps should also be taken to proven
him from becoming an offender {
second time, and that would mean thu
revelation of his license. st. Alban

HOT WAVE IN EAST.

Washington, June 8.-Most of the
country east of the Missouri river and
south of the great lakes sweltered to-
day in wave of heat that sent tenn
peratures up to points between 80 and
90. Only the extreme eastern cities of
New York and the New England States
blessed with cooling winds escaped.
While Boston enjoyed a maximum
temperature of 70 and thermometers
in New York registered only "a de-
grees, the mercury in Philadelphia
climbed above 80 and in Washington the
official reading was &c. Thermometers
on the streets showed much higher TEN.
peratures.
In Chicago the mercury climbed up tC
go degrees. Weather bureau officials haC
to 90 back as far as 1874 to find the June
record for temperatures in Washington
Then a mark of I02 was established
They said, however, that in recent year:
there had been several June days thai
were slightly warmer that 10 day.
Indications tonight were that the
heat would continue for day or two
except along the extreme east coast.

FRIDAY, JUNE II, 1914.
EXPRESS COMPANIES NOW MEET
ING PUBLIC DEMANDS.

The parcel post has been a sharp les
son for the express corporations. AL
ready several of them have gone out of
business and others are seeing the light
of reason-hoping thereby to continue
to see the light of existence. The most
enthusiastic advocate of parcel post
should have no particular desire to put
the express companies out of business
so long as they are efficiently filling
their own particular niche in the COM
munity and rendering a real public SER
vice.
There would be no parcel post today
if the express companies had taken the
right course long time ago. 1t was
only because of exorbitant charges, in
different service, high-handed methods
and arrogant attitude of private express
companies that the agitation for par
Gel post came into being, matured and
took effect.
Today such of the express companies
as have survived the blow of genuine
competition are assuming very diff
ferent attitude. Competition has
brought a considerable reduction in
prices and great improvement in SER
vice.
We hear now of such things as the
the order and food products bureau,
established by one of the big express
companies. By means of this the ex-
press company will promote intimate
relations between the producer or deal
er and the consumer. The company will
become clearing house for express
production-fruits, berries, butter
eggs, vegetables, fish, meat, etc., tap
ping the cheapest supply on the ont
hand and reaching directly to the con
sumner on the other.
This will be a great service, to b.
sure, and very useful, preventing waste
lowering prices, and opening up new
markets. But even this service ha
come out under the sharp spurs of tn
parcel post which has already begun
similar direct producer to- consumer sys
TEN of Transporting food stuffs.
Let the competition go on. The pri
vatey-owned express companies wi
keep the parcel post from getting int
rut; the parcel post will constant
force better service and lower price
from the express companies. The pub
lie has everything to gain and nothing
to loose by the competition, and the ex
press companies if they play the gam
with the brains at their command, actu
ated by an honest desire to create res
sphere of usefulness for themselves an
command only reasonable profit, wi
take on new lease of life. -Rutan

Four Hurt in Auto Ac d e Mt =.

St. Johnsbury. June s. One man was
so seriously injured that his recovery is
despaired of, another is in dangerous
condition at the Brightlook hospital here
and two women who have steadily re-
fused to give their full names are badly
shaken up as the result of an automo-
bile accident which occurred three miles
from here Sunday afternoon.
Z. The machine was being driven at
tremendous speed, according to wit
nesses, by w. Walter Mowrse of Leb-
anon, N. H., a vetinary surgeon, who
was the most seriously hurt. The party
had come from Lebanon and was APP
preaching this town on sandy stretch
of road. Suddenly the machine skidded
and struck culvert. Those who were
near the place declared the car turned
two complete somersets and landed
right side up, squarely on its wheels.
The other man was S. A. Sayer, also
of Lebanon. His arm was broken in
two places and his condition is con-
sidered serious. Upon the arrival at the
hospital the woman, who said she is
Miss Cass, collapsed and was put to
bed. The other woman was the only
one of the party able to talk, but she
would say nothing.
Other motorists who passed the au-
tomobile and several residents in this
town declared that the party was hilar-
ious. When the automobile, a touring
car numbered 1920 N. H., was towed
into town empty beer bottles and some
bottles which had contained other liquor
were found IN it.

landing of German arms destined for
Huerta, and even these supplies were
ultimately permitted by our govern
ment to reach their destination.
The. Wilson administration has now
gone step further and announced that
it will ask for no money indemnity for
this nation to repay US for the tremen-
dous expense we have incurred in con-
nection with the repeated revolutions in
Mexico and the measures necessitated
for our own protection. The government
can not speak, of course, for American
citizens individually, and many of these
will doubtless follow the example of the
English, who have announced a deter
mination to secure reparation for the
Benton outrage when stable govern
ment is re-estabished. American citi-
zens will be amply warranted in secur-
ing property damages.
All the American government de.
mands as condition of the establish
ing of former relations between the
two nations is that constitutional gov
eminent be restored, land condition:
reformed and other measures taken t.
ensure permanent peace.
If this result can be secured by the
Wilson administration without incur
ring the untold horrors of war, its Mex
lean policy will be indicated, and the
American people will stand before The
world as the most generous and philan
thropic and self-sacrificing nation OF
the globe. Burlington Free Press.

Woman Knocked Down by Auto

An automobile, owned and operated
by Samuel Gerard, knocked down Mrs.
McHardy of II Seminary street at the
intersection of Elm. Washington and
Main streets Sunday forenoon just as
crowd of church going people were
crossing from the Aidrich building cor
rer to the city park. The car was NOV
ing slowly at the time and was stopped
Immediately after the woman was struck
by a mudguard and she was not run
over. The only injury seemed to be a
bruise on the back of Mrs. McHardy' S
head, where it struck the pavement.
The place where the accident happened
is corner with many possibilities foi
far worse results than happened; anC
the danger in this instance, as at half
hourly intervals, was accenuated by the
fact that the Washington street trolley
car stands at the corner while waiting
for the arrival of the main line car from
! Montpelier and forms marked hind
rance to traffic. Barre Times.

ROOSEVELT AT LUNCHEON WITH
KING AND QUEEN.

Madrid June SKIING Alfonso and
Queen Victoria were the hosts of ex-
President Roosevelt today at luncheon
at their summer palace at La Granja,
forty miles from Madrid.
Colonel Roosevelt and his party, which
included Ambassador Willard, Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth, Kermit Roosevelt
and his fiancee, Miss Belle Willard and
Captain Norton E. Wood, military at
tache, drove to the palace. There were
many titled personages also at the
luncheon.
The Spanish King and the ex-president
are old acquaintance having met for
the first time at the funeral of King Ed
ward VII in London, and the colonel is
an admirer of King Alfonso democratic
ways. During the three hours they spent
together they found much time for dis
cussion of Spanish history, of which
the colonel has been a close student.
To the question of a Spanish news
paper man: How do you like our
King?" the colonel made tactful but
uncommunicative reply. He referred
to Spain in flattering terms and declared
that the Spanish language would
eventually supplant French in common
usage on account of the develop nent of
South America.
