Yesterday was another extremely hot
day in this village, the thermometer

veranda away from the sun.
George Littlefield of Prospect street,
who fell from tree while at work
about his home and was injured, was

and raped on the counter. AS the clerk
came forward to meet her he remem-
bered that she had been there about 10
minutes before. He wondered what she
wanted this time.

Vermont newspapers, some of them, are

another would like to have Governor Gates

The unreasonable weather of the past
few days doubtless has caused a good
many local people to view the approach
OF Valley Fair week with misgiving.
especially those for whom the week
means extra work with little or no adj
dltional compensation. There is strong
likelihood, however, that the hot wave
will be followed by a period of brac-
ing autumn weather which will have
an enhvening effect on business in gen
eral and make the work making this
year s fair better than ever q much
more comfortable job than it has APP
peared IN prospect. The outlook for
the fair itself is more than usually ia
vorable. The show of cattle is to be
large one in spite of the disturbance
that has been caused by the foot-and-
mouth disease regulations, and the fact
that none of the fairs to the south OF
Brattleboro will be able to have any
thing like the cattle exhibit promised
here ought to draw a lot of people
from Massachusetts who otherwise
would view the herds nearer home.

Autoists and Sunday Law.
(St. Adams Messengers


1t would be interesting to know on
Just what grounds The Rutland Her
aid holds that automobiling is vio-
lation of the Vermont Sunday law
The Messenger does not assert that
The Herald is wrong but it does con
fess that it is unable to see how the
contemporary arrives at its conclusion
1t Is true that the time was when it
was unlawful to travel at all on sun
day except of necessity or on charity,
and that a permission of a justice
of the peace was necessary for those
who would venture out on the
highways. But The Messenger is of
the opinion that such a state of af-
fairs became matter of history
some years ago.
As late as 1874 the supreme court
held that 'the necessity that will ex.
cuse one for travelling on Sunday must
be a real and not fancied one It is
not an honest belief that necessity for
travelling exists, but the actual exist
ence of Necessity, witch renders tray-
cling on Sunday lawful But later
the supreme court. held that there was
no law agafnst eSfhday travelling in
this state, as a consequence of legis-
lative action in 1891 when the Sunday
laws were revised. Possibly the con
temporary has ample reason for
its contention, and if it has, it ought
to bring it forth, for thousands of au-
tomobile users in Vermont would be in
terested to know whether they are in
fact violating the law when they start
out on a Sunday afternoon ride through
the countryside. Not that it would
make any difference to them, probably,
but just so that they might know what
they were doing.

One thing to which the village au-
thorities should give special attention
during the fair is the regulation of au-
tomobiles carrying people to and from
the fair grounds The number of vehi-
cles engaged in this business has in
creased greatly during the past few
years, and there is every reason TO ex-
peet that more than ever will be on
hand next week. Not only should the
authorities be particular about the
qualifications of the drivers of these
machines but they should bear in mind
that there is such thing as licensing
too many of them for the safety of the
public. Representatives of the secre-
tary of state s office have been at the
state fair this week to keep tabs on
the observance of the automobile laws !;
it might be well to get them to come
to Brattleboro next week.

The change in the leaving time of
the morning train over the Central Yer

not seem to meet with general approx

would offer connection at South Vernon

Palmer for INSTRUMENTATION, by the
way, which the early morning. train
over the Boston & Maine road does
not offer. Now, however, all Of these
connections are impossible, and the dis
advantage is one that affects Northfield

If, as is understood, this change in
schedule was made for the benefit of
towns at the lower end of the New

DOPE AND BOOZE-Despite the
reports sent out by the inflamed press
1 notice very little crime committed
by dope fiends in their present pre-
dicament.
Inever considered a dope fiend any
more dangerous than a drunkard.
Neither did I ever see a person de-
moralized mentally and physically as
bad from the effects Of dope as have
from the effects Of booze, and I have
seen a number Of each class.
l have found most drug users a
kind, mild and highly intelligent peo-
pie, always careful of their personal
appearance in regard to clothes,
linen, etc. And, contrary to the gen
eraI belief, they are entirely devoid
of the grossness and sensualism that
characterizes the drunkard so strong
". There are a number of business
and professional people who take an
occasional Shot for the sake of the
punch" it gives them in their work,
but are not confirmed drug fiends
and can stop it's use without much
inconvenience.
OF course, it is a good thing to be
rid of such a habit that was a jeopar-
dy to humanity, but fear it is not
any more so than the booze habit,
as recent statistics showed that
drunkenness was increasing to such
an extent among our women that the
only class that was exempt from it
was the middle or working class Of
