"REPUTATION AS FAST DRIVER"

Over in Washington county last Sat
urday night one man was instantly
killed and another probably fatally in
jured by being struck by rapidly
driven automobile, the speed Of the
machine being indicated to some ex-
tent by the fact that the dead man was
thrown "a feet and the two victims
were found 72 feet apart in the road
way.
The owner and driver of the car
was arrested on the charge of man
slaughter and the states attorney Is
conducting an investigation, which, it
is expected, will determine to what
extent the driver can be held crimin-
ally responsible.
In the meantime it is not re-judg-
ing the case to note the statement
made in the newspaper account of the
tragedy that the driver "has reputa-
ton as a fast driver" having figured
in an accident last summer when he
ran into a carriage smashing it up
badly and proceeding on his way with
out stopping to see if anyone was in
jured.
For this escapade he was arrested
and paid damages, but it is evident
that he still holds a drivers license,
for this spring finds him again loose
on the highway with the fatal results
above referred to.
Aside from the question Of how this
particular party, with reputation as
a fast driver" was able TO secure
certificate as a careful driver and
license based on such certificate of
there arises the very per-
,inent question of how many automo-
,ilists, with reputation for fast driv-
ng, are running wild on the highways
# Vermont with drivers license in
heir pocket.
There are undoubtedly large num-
'er of this class of drivers throughout
Termont, whose reputation for reck-
ess driving is merely matter Of local
omment until there occurs some such
atality as that just recorded in Wash
lgton county, and someone falls a
ictim to the speed mania which in
scts small but vicious element Of
ne growing army Of automobilists.
Vermont stands first among the
ew England states in per capita own
-ship of automobiles, one for every
persons. The restrictions
nposed upon automobilists by the
ate or, generally speaking, by town
I'd city ordinances are not over
ringent and do not affect the reason
Die rights and pleasure Of the careful
yner and operator Of car.
On the other hand the record Of ac-
dents in Vermont indicates laxity
the state in the matter OF
inging sharply TO account the reck-
IS and incompetent drivers and see
g that they are deprived Of the IL
nse under which they operate.
If reckless driving resulted only in
ath or injury to the one indulging
erein, the speed maniac might be
t TO his ultimate fate.
But he is a serious and constant
mace to his fellow-men, to the pc
strian and 10 the owner Of car who
ives with some regard TO the rules

GROWTH OF TEMPERANCE

No student of Vermont conditions
as they have developed for the past II
years, could fail TO observe the sur,
and steady growth of temperance as
a personal and community asset,
Part Of this is due to an enlightened
public sentiment and part to efficient
and reasonable laws, The latter is by
no means the least important, but the
strong and underlying continuing
cause for the growth of personal tenn
perance is the increasing business de-
mand for men who are complete alb
stainers in and out of business hours.
Railroads and large corporations
are rapidly adopting the principle that
the man who drinks habitually, either
on or off duty, is not the sort Of man
TO select for position of trust. Yet
these same concerns are seldom or
never found enlisted in visionary at
tempts to make men sober by fiat,
TO legislate temperance into the indi-
vidual by force of probationary
law
The law of temperance is the law
of reason, and reason alone dictates
a course Of personal conduct which is
an efficient and continuing moral force.
Always and everywhere, the attempt
to reform men by statute has failed,
and it always will fail, unless demand
ed and accompanied by a public senti-
ment that is itself the true sustaining
and inspiring power.
Grafton of Vermont are more sober,
more fixed in habits of temperance,
more firmly convinced that the law of
self-government is the only true and
lasting life policy.
One sees this by scanning his own
circle. Where, 10 years
ago, no gathering Of normal, active,
men was complete
without the convivial glass, to-day
these gatherings do not find liquor
necessary either in business or pleas
lre. And where the friendly glass
survives, it is to-day almost invariably
illed with beer or some cool, light
vine, instead of the hot and angry
liquors of better-forgotten days.
Some of this may safely be charged
o the sager counsels of maturity, but
t is certain that the bringing of the
iquor business into the open, the
harp regulation of its powers and the
,ublic scrutiny of critical commun-
ty have made drinking unpopular and
nexpedient. ,
This is the sort Of thing that is CIV !
ng pause to the propaganda for re-
urn to more concealed and stealthy
of liquor under an impos-
ible prohibitory law. !
Sensible men, employers of labor, /,
eads of great corporations are loath .
, give up the principles of self-gov- :,
and yearly freshening of the !
ubic conscience which the present :
Iw provides.
They hesitate to imperil the new
,und temperance sentiment which
arvades the state to-day.
They will only very reluctantly con- !.
