COMMUNICATIONS.

Editor of the Register:
have been a subscriber for eighteen
years and would say that during the
past six months your paper has made
more progress as a real newspaper than
in all the previous time have taken it.
The column of Vermont news, aside
from the usual news of Addison County,
is step forward.
The fact that you are now getting the
paper into the mails so that the New
England subscribers are enabled tc
read it by Saturday night, is to me
worthy of commentator. 1t is my
personal impression that if all non.
resident natives of Addison County
knew how good paper you are now Is
suing, they would become subscribers

STRICTER AUTOMOBILE LAWS
NEEDED.
LUDLOW Tribune.


Speedomaniacs and drunken chauf-
en- are getting unpopular in Massachu-
sets. The fact that autos caused thir-
ty-three deaths in that State during,the
month of September, and that num-
Der of these fatalities were due to indi-
viduals herein mentioned, has awak-
ened the highway commission to the
need of more stringent regulations. The
commission now proposes holding up
the licenses of habitual drinkers till
they sign pledge not to drive after
drinking, frightening of the period
Of suspension of license for operating a
machine while under the influence of
liquor, and establishing speed limit of
twenty-five miles an hour for the entire
State. The recent long lists of auto
accidents in our own State would natu-
rally suggest that restrictions which
seem necessary in Massachusetts would
prove good enough also for Vermont.
That branch of our State government

has grown more particular of late, and
the incl easing number of cars owned
and operated by Vermonters empha-
sizes the need of vigilance in enforcing
existing regulations. Especially should
short work be made of the man who at
tempts to drive car when his brain is
muddled by liquor. His freedom at the
wheel means peril to others.

Newport Express and Standard
There is something in the law about a
man being allowed to shoot deer if it
is found damaging his crops. Yet a
man in Dover was fined 500 and costs
for shooting a deer which he alleged
was doing this same thing. There is
something wrong about the law or else
the Dover man must have seen the deer
doing damage at long range.
Probably the court knew the facts.

EDUCATIONAL FAIRS.

A good sign of the season has been
the increasing number of town and
Grange fairs, where the agricultural ex-
hibits have frequently been as interest
ing and meritorious as those of great
amusement centers which attract thous-
ands of people. There is an education
al side to the small local fair through
the personal interest which it arouses
and the competition which takes place
among the progressive farmers, their
wives, sons and daughters, to excel in
growing the finest crops in field and
garden and in preparing many of the
products for domestic use IN attractive
form.
