OF the 20 Windham county members
who voted on the vehicle lights bill before
the legislature II were in favor of it and
eight opposed, but the bill was killed 131
to So. Here IS the way Windham county
voted -
For the bill-Ailcn Of Putney, Eddy of
Stratton, Garland of Rockingham, Gleason
Of Jamaica, Higgins OF Newfane, Howard
Of Dummerstou, lngraham OF Guilford,
Leonard OF Grafton, Melendy of London

Against the bill-Austin of Brookline,
Corbett of Wilmington, Butterfield Of
Westminster, Jenison Of Windham, Smith
of Athens, Thurber of Halifax, Ware OF
Townshend, Wheeler Of Nottingham.
ii the affirmative votes had been as
strong in other sections of the state as in
Windham county the hill would have
been passed by a good majority. The law
has been tested in Massachusetts and New
Hampshire, where it is recognized as of
great value in protecting lives and prop
erty and an attempt to repeal the meas
IRE in either one of those states would be
given scant consideration

In the strike of 800 men employed by
the Springfield street railway system the
question with the public is not whether
the discharged men are or are not guilty
of the charges made against them The
one great point is that the men have
made mistake in striking instead of re-
sorting to arbitration for the settlement
OF the disputed questions that have arisen
between the employees and the corpora
ton It Is very evident to ali clear-mind-
cd, thinking men that a strike is no way
to prove the innocence Of the accu ed
men On che other hand a board Of athi-
traitor can bring out all tile actual facts
in the case. in any case there is no rea-
soil why the people should be made to
suffer.

Hope in the Rule of Reason.
lNew York Times.l


There IS hope for good business in the
steady application by the lower courts OF
the rule of reason That is the significance
# the decision in the Shoe Trust case.
Its authority is considerable, because ii
does not stand alone. This trust has won
over its prosecutors three times in the
American courts, and on similar issues.

port of the theory that four decisions are
wrong and that the trust is not notwith-
standing a bad trust Is nevertheless not
absent The function of the courts is to
settle disputed points. When the courts
settle them repeatedly the corpse should
not be resurrected for another wake
Yet the decision is greeted with the orig
NAL assertions of eXtortion and oppres-
sion. 1t is said that the trusts business
methods are obnoxious because they com
pei the Use of all of its machines if any
are wanted. 1t is said that the machines
are so good that the users must have them
or go out of business, and the trust is
blamed for that. 1t Is thought a suitable
substitute that the buyers of the M.
chimes should invoke the compulsion of
the law to require the trust to sell on the
buyers terms. The only compulsion in
the power of the trust IS the excellence
of its machines.

The Boston & Maine Situation.

The Boston 4 Maine situation is men
aced by three factors:
Particularists who want their special
interests looked after at all costs.
Obstinate reformers, reaching FIR per

other human contrivances.
Trembling legislators afraid to legislatc

There is inst one determining consid

What this little group Of interests wants,

Thanks to the senate there is still hope
that Vermont viii have decent direct
primary law. The bill as passed by the
upper branch Of the legislature yesterday,
makes it apply to all candidates, town
and county, instead Of only to state and

eepts the measure as it comes from the
senate the bill viii be practically in its
original form before it was "hamstrung2

PRICE OF PERMANENT PEACE.


Professor Kuno Franci;e, head Of the
departemnt Of history of German culture,
Harvard university, makes the statement
that Germany viii only make peace on
condition that the British sea power be
curbed. TO quote Professor Franclle:
"Engand's tyranny of the sea has be
come so fagrantly aggressive that it GER
tainly must cause the public to think once
more Of embargo on arms and munitions
Of war as means of enforcing neutrality
Universal establishment of freedom of
ocean trade, even in time of war, will
diminish the occasions Of war; will inev-
itably lead to reduction of naval anna
ment and viii do away with the necessity
Of naval supremacy by any one power -
England must have a mighty sea force
to keep in touch with her colonies that
cover the world. The sun never sets on
British possessions England has not
abused this supremacy Of the seas. In
times Of peace she has done more than
any other world power to develop trade,
promote civilization and good fellowship.
England Is the worlds leader IN coloniz-
ing. This war IS a practical proof of the
wonderful loyalty of her possessions.
Prof. Francke fails to appreciate this in
his attack. The British sea power can
never be the menace to the world that
the German miItarism is. That is a dam
gerous octopus, the growth Of 40 yeas.
The iron hand" of Bismarll must lose its
grip before there can be permanent peace
in Europe.

The committee educational bills Gov
er appropriations aggregating some
thing over 100000, so it will be seen
that the proportion of 90 per cent
of the state S appropriations for per
cent of its children has been still fur
ther distorted The Herald holds that
this is practical violation of section
Al of the constitution which provides
that "a competent number of schools
ought to be maintained in each town
for the convenient instruction of
youth"
A competent number of schools, pro-
viding for 81 per cent of the pupils,
cannot be maintained if one-fourth of
the whole amount appropriated by the
state goes to the institutions of high
er learning. 1t is a mere matter of
arithmetic
The Herald would not depreciate
the office and Importance of the col
leges and universities of the state in
connection with education, but that
Importance is not in the proportion of
u to 4.
Three per cent of the pupils should
not absorb more than 30 per cent of
the state s money.
