CURRENT COMMENT
Regulation Not Welcome.

"The Vermont House of Representa-
tives voted down the proposition pro-
posing to compel all vehicles TO carry
lights at night We cannot refrain from
regarding this as mistake The same
regulations that pertain to motor We
hicles should apply also to horse.drawn
vehicles, for the mutual protection OF
those using the highways, Rutland
News
The reason this law failed was because
it represented a degree of regulation
over the farmer which was not welcome,
the attitude of many of its opponents
being that the average man was a COM
potent Judge of when it was necessary
TO carry light at night and when it
was not. In other words the represen-
tative Of the farming glass in goodly
numbers felt as the railroads do when
strict and seemingly unnecessary laws
are passed regulating the most minute
railroad action. In this case the farm
ers were able to ward off the blow; the
railroads do not have that power. This
experience may enable many legislators
to put themselves in the place Of bust
ness with keener appreciation OF what
regulation means, and, if it does this,
good will be bound to result.-St. Al
bans Messenger

Value of the Wireless.

Day by day, the Importance of tho
discovery of wireless telegraphy becomes
more apparent. That it has played and
is playing a big part in the conduct OF
the war, no one can doubt. BY its means
the whole progress of the war is ac-
tolerated and all the parties concerned
have a grasp of the situation that with
out this space-annihiliating means OF
communication would be quite impossi-
Bile And now we have another concrete
example OF the inestimable worth of
wireless as it is employed in the pur-
poses Of peace. BY its aid La Touraine
on fire 700 miles from the Irish coast
is able to acquaint number of ships
Of its sorry plight and to bring to it's
side such help as it needs. SO that all
fear of loss of life on shipboard is ban
ished. And it is not only those on board
the ships that really face danger that
owe a great debt of gratitude TO the in
ventor of the wireless. All people at
sea now have a sense OF security that
was not known before this new invention
put them within speaking distance of
the rest of the world at sea and ashore.
Where once there was a feeling of help
less isolation there is now one Of well
grounded confidence that help is always
within reach And il tends to add
to the serenity of all who are
"roeked in the cradle Of the deep -

RUTLAND IN DILEMMA.
Citizens Refuse Money to Make Repairs
State Health Board Demands.

Rutland, March g.-Will the state
board Of health grant an extension Of
time to the Rutland school board in
the matter Of repairing the high school
buildings
In case no extension is granted, will
the board open the school according TO its
constitutional duty to provide proper
educational facilities?
! In case the school is opened in defiance
OF the state board of health, would the
latter Immediately enioin the board and
shut up Rutland's principal center OF
! education, according to the statutes?
! These We're the questions that agitated
the school board at last nights special
meeting, called to discuss the situation
precipitated by the failure of the voters
to vote the bond issue of $4,000.
II was held by some members of the
board that the state board Of health
could hardly refuse, in the crcum-
stances, to grant the extension but If it
was not granted, then the school might
be opened and the validity of the law
tested in the supreme court, which
might not be decided until the next city
meeting.
The objection to this was the posi-.
bility that, in case the time was not ex-
tended and temporary injunction grant
ed, the burden of proof would then come
on the school board, with the school
building closed meanwhile by the courts
There was a good deal OF discussion
by the commissioners as to what was
the best way out OF their dilemma, as
the changes ordered at the high school
would cost about $4,000, and the board
planned other changes elsewhere II was
finally decided to name a committee to
wait upon the state board and ask for
an extension of time as regards the
order for the changes
This committee is to consist Of Chair |
man Webber and Commissioners McCar- !
ty and Kingsley of the board, and, if !
possible, Mayor B. /. Stafford.
II was the opinion OF all the mem
bers present last night that the voters, if
called upon for another ex-
preston of opinion on the bond issue,
would vote Just as they did week ago
to-day.
Some commissioners thought that IL
the board had asked for a little less
money, or figured costs OF the proposed
close TO the margin and
asked for exactly what they would need,
there would have been a better chance
IF success.
The meeting was adjourned subject 20

IS 20 whether a special city meeting viii

POWDERY SCAB
ON POTATOES
Has Led Department of Agriculture to
Discontinue Further certification
of Seed Stock From Infect
ed Districts.

The rapid spread of the powdery seal
disease OF the potato in Maine and New
York and the difficulty which has devel-
oped in detecting, by any practicable IN.
spection, the presence Of slight infection
by this disease, has led the department,
after an experience OF five or six months,
to discontinue from March 3, 1915, fur
Their certification of seed stock from tie
| infected districts under quarantine. 1t is
believed that seed certification under ex.
| listing conditions, instead OF being ben
eft to the purchaser, may become a
source of positive danger, for the reason
that the purchaser is given thereby n
false sense of security. Without such
ceftification the purchaser, having been
duly warned, will make his purchase for
planting with full understanding Of
the risk
The only federal eertifcation of pota
toes as condition of movement from
the infected districts will hereafter be
as table stock potatoes, and a strong ef-
fort will be made to place table stock
potatoes on more reliable basis as 10
freedom from infection. As all potatoes
grown in Maine both in districts believed
to be uninfected as well as in the known
infected districts are under regulation
as to interstate movement, federal certi-
tication will be continued for seed po.
tatoes grown outside of the infected re-
gions of that state.
The modification makes no change in
the status of the unaffected districts Of
New York, which have been free to ship
seed potatoes without federal inspec.
ton.
The public is warned that all seed po-
tatoes hitherto shipped from the infect
ed districts may contain powdery scab,
and that there must necessarily be some
risk accompanying their use, of the in
PRODUCTION of the powdery scab disease
Undoubtedly there are farms and in
some instances fairly considerable areas
within the infected districts in Maine
and New York, which are still free from
but it is not possible to deter
mine this fact without close scrutiny OF
every tuber, and such action is imprac.
ticable.
In relation to the southern market for
Maine seed potato stock. il is fair 10 |
state that this disease has not estab- |
lished itself, and there is some evidence
that it possibly could not establish II.
self IN the southern Atlantic coast and |
The gulf states. In these states the de-
partment experts are inclined TO believe
that the disease, if it appears at all. will /
be limited to the mountainous and colder
regions
