Society Going cOuntryward.

Society began long ago to smile APP
proval on the countryside. The motor
came into use and won its way into pop
ular favor at just the moment when it
was needed to bestow a compelling inn
petus upon the tendency toward out-of-
town living by supplying a means OF
linking town and country together. The
use of the silent. swift, and tireless
motor with its ability to cover great dis
tances within a brief time, has made the
far and remote country almost as sc-
cessible as was New York's uptown
quarter from the lower part OF the city
a few years ago.
The country. having once been really
discovered. became ever more and more
attractive. The city season began each
year a little earlier and ended a week
or two earlier. until now the greater
part OF the year is spent in the country,
and the city home. where IL still exists
at all is apt to be an apartment rather
than an individual residence mere
pied -terre-a foothold or resting place
in town. useful when one must leave the
country for a time. Thus we have fol-
lowed closely the example Of the En-
glish. whose real homes are their great
country-seats- and whose city houses are
often exceedingly simple. 49, Suburban

CURRENT COMMENT
The Dublin Ricts.

That "some one had blundered' seemed
70 be about all that could be said in the
British Parliament yesterday as TO the
origin OF the riots in dublin. There
was really a series of blunders, and it is
Iamentable that they should have led
to loss of life. and thereby caused a
serious political upheayal. How. foolish
it was to send against the National Vol
iunteers, carrying the newly-lsnded rifles,
Ia body of police who. were in sympathy
with them, and who actually cheered
them Police Commissioner Harrell must
surely have known that his police would
not act against the gun-runners. Was II
because OF his knowledge that he requi-
sitioned the battalion Of troops? Per-
haps so, but he had no right to do this
on his own responsibility, and therefore
he is severely blamed by the Irish secre-
tary. The soldiers did obey orders so
far as to dispense the armed volunteers
and seize few rifles, and it was for
this that they were mobbed when they
returned TO the city. That they were
roughly handled is admitted, but was
the firing justifablel 1t appears to have
been another blunder And the major in
command denies that he gave an order
to fire. Very obviously there must be a
searching judicial inquiry to apportion
the blame, impose punishment, award
compensation TO sufferers where pos
sible. and make certain that there shall
be no recurrence of such calamitous
laundering.
Mr.. Redmond rightly demands that
the law concerning the importation of
arms shall be administered impartialiy.
Yesterdays continued excitement in
Dublin was due not alone to the loss OF
life. but to the belief that this had been
caused by police and military action
which the authorities would not have
taken in Belfast. Bodies of so-called
Ulster volunteers have marched through
the streets Of the city anmolested. Gen.
Macresdy having been instructed not to
interest with them. Whether that be
right or wrong. and whatever be the
reason. there should not be one kind Of
treatment for the volunteers in the
north and another for the volunteers in
the south. Partially is ineXcIsable.
And We nav be sure that the govern
ment is not responsible for this. MIN
isters could not dream OF shooting their
home rule supporters, and letting their
anti home rule sdversaries 90 free IL
Is obvious that hundreds have done the
But, al the same, the people
Of Dublin have reason for their anger.
and the government must repair as best
il can the misfortune which has befallen

Important Work of State Board of
Health.

The almost ezar-like powers of the
Vermont state board of health are ex-
emplifed in the peremptory orders juat
made directing that the Madison street
school be closed until changes are made
in the building providing for proper ven
tilation and light.
There has been frequent criticism of
the condition of affairs in this state
which gives to this body such wide scope
and such great authority. However, the
criticism is ill-founded
1t is in the interest of the public well
fare that the state board of health have
the authority to do just such things as
in the case mentioned. The average To-
cal board of education would hesitate
long before taking such drastic measures
as the closing of a school building, no
matter how serious the sanitary defects
might be. The directions OF the state
board, it goes without saying, viii be
followed.
In every town and city in Vermont
the school buildings should be above
criticism in respect to healthfuI condi-
tions of work. IL is the aim of the Rut-
land authorities to have all the buildings
in this city OF high standard in this
respect
Ii the state board of health eompels
all country schoolhouses TO come TO
better standard. it will have performed
valuable mission. And the same stand
ard that is required of Rutland and 9th
er cities should be required of the small
towns and the country districts, where
the health of the children is of equally
great importance.--Ru Rutland News.

The number of automobile accidents
reported demonstrate that action must
be taken by the authorities to prevent
reckless driving Of motor cars, to Jail
automobilists who drive cars while in an
intoxicated condition and take action
against those who operated cars after
having INDUCED in intoxicating liquor
even ii they are not what is commonly
termed drunk. Rum and gasoline make
Ian exceedingly dangerous mixture. Pro-
vision is made in the Vermont statutes
to take care of these cases. Licenses
should be revoked in every instance of
this kind, and it is higS time that action
was taken.
A careless driver on the road observes
so much recklessness among operators
of cars, that he deems it a wonder that
accidents are not fourfold in number.
Light cars are to be seen running at
very rapid rate of speed swaying from
side to side, and covering the entire road,
big touring cars shoot around blind cor
ners and turns in the highway like shots
out of cannon, and condition exists
which must be corrected, and the sooner
it is done the better, for it will have to
be done eventually.
The majority OF motorists are careful
while driving about the county, appre-
ciate the rights of others and avoid put
hing themselves or other occupants of
the highways in serious predcaments.
There are others, and the number is not
large, who do not appear to know what
courtesy is and who frequently cause
narrow escapes from collision. They
must be curbed and if the authorities
take away few licenses wholesome
lesson will be taught. Montpelier

He insists that the accused "has nc
heart in the great big cardinal principles
OF the Progressive party, "--whateyei

so called leaders are ashamed TO put w

not wear clean linen and creased trous'
ers."
"a grimy machinist from the Win
ooski wooden mills may be the Abraham
Lincoln of Dr. Jacksons Dreams" in

All of which is impressively charac-
teristic of the situation in the Progress
sive ranks. the leaders of which have in
etiectually drummed the state from West
Berkshire to Pownal and from North
Derby to Vernon in search OF candl-
dates.
There is no more coherency in the Bull
Moose to-day than there was at the
tower of Babel. On one side are the
leaders" and selfappointed Greathearts
of the 60 h. p. pilgrimage. They repre-
sent very small proportion of the
crumbling Progressive party, and the
party itself has degenerated into an
army of generals without enough pri-
Yates and non-commissioned officers to
go around.
On the other side are the men who
constituted the backbone and brains of
the Progressive movement and who are
merely waiting the announcement of a
Republican leader and platform worthy
of their support so they can take charge
OF the party they belong to and make it
what it ought to be.

CRIMES AGAINST
RAILROADS ON
The INCREASE

Crimes committed against railroads
are increasing. according 10 the an
nual report OF the police department
of the Baltimore and Ohio system,
which shows that iS.l29 arrests were
made during 1913. as compared with
tO.8fi arrests during 1912. There
We're s.44q convictions in 1913, while
in i912the number Of convictions was
s,5iO. RMS Increase in crime added
materially TO the expense OF the rail
road for doing business during the
year.
sue report of G. A. Ogiine, super
ntcndent OF police. covers all classes
OF criminal offenges, from petty lar
leny ard disorderly conduct 70 train
wrecking, highway robbery and muir
der. THE most frequent offenders
we're those who "yiOlated railroad
laws.' for which S,303 arrests of
tramps and others unlawfuly using
the railroad property we're made. Ar
rests for intoxicatiOn and disorder
numbered 2.526. with 1867 arrests for
larceny 17e for burglary and for
murder For receiving goods stolen
from the railroad there were 50 ar
rests.
Commenting upon the large number
OF arrests OF respassers-tramps and
other vagrants and loiterers about the
railroad Superintendent Ogline says;
"It is evident that the number OF
persons unlaWfully riding over the
railroads aud trespasaiug upon tb,
property in other ways is on the in
crease. but the officials have osen
badly Handicapped in coping with this
eyil on account Of the lack of CO.
operation on the part OF authorities
The courts will handle . few offend
er but Il is continually impressed
upon the railroads police department
that the arrests to trespassers must
be held 70 the minimum because the
cities. towns and counties are unwill-
ing to bear the expense Of harboring
this class Of offenders In jails and
other institutions OF detention"
The head of the police department
further states that In numerous in
stances where reports were made Of
chstructions having been placed on
rails missiles thrown at trains, etc.
it was found that very small chill
dren were often guilty OF these Of
fenses." and the railroad officers tre-
oucntly brought the cases to the at
tention of parents in an effort to cor
rect the trouble.
Convictions we're secured under the
Carlin Act, federal law, for the rob-
berry of cars on the Baltimore and
Ohio lines and heavy penalties we're
imposed for such crimes.
