FAIRLEE
Motoring Party from Lisbon, NJ H., Had
Bad Spill Off Highway.

A motoring party from Lisbon, \. H.,
consisting OF three men, a woman and
| five children had a marvellous escape
from death Sunday noon, when the Ford
car in which they were riding, skidded
on the hill leading into the hollow by
Perkins mill pond, and turning turtle,
landing right side up, two feet from the
water, headed in the direction from
which it came. A bad piece OF road, with
deep sandy ruts, was responsible, caus-
ing the driver to lose control of the
steering wheel As the car went over
the ten-foot bank the passengers, with
the exception of one child, were thrown
out When the dust cleared the child
was found sitting firmly upon the rear
seat, uninjmed.
Ami George, who resides across the
pond from where the accident occurred,
was the first one TO reach the scene
of the accident He found no one badly
injured, but took the party to his house,
where. with the aid Of Mrs. George, for
merly nurse. first aid methods were APP
piled with good results. DR.. Stetson
was also called in. The party returned
to Lisbon in a motor hired in Fairlee.
All day Sunday tourists and the curious
surrounded the scene OF the spill.

Organ and the Vermont Idea.

Information gathered from other states
by the Globe shows that Ma jor- General
John F. O'Ryan of the New York Ma
tionsl Guard occupies position at least
unique if not enviable as the recipient OF
a double salary since being mustered into
the federal service States which pay
National Guard officers anything for
militia duty think that one salary from
the United States government is ample
to meet all requirements when they are
drafted into the regular service. New
York state. staggering under burden of
debt that almost has bankrupt it, clings
TO the double pay idea for its gold-laced
favorites.
If any member of the National GHarc
needs extra pay it is the rank and file
Privates, who get Sl.26 day when in
state service, receive only 50 cents day
when working for Uncle Sam. That
they are not overpaid certainly is not
open TO argument. which is more than
can be said in General Organs case.
Vermont has called a special session OF
its legislature for next Thursday to pro-
vide state pay of s. a month for nom
officers and enlisted men
while in federal service. as was done
during the Civil and Spanish-American
wars. The Vermont idea is the right one
and there would be plenty OF iustifca
tion for taking similar action here. But
to give o'Rysn pay at the rate Of Sl6.-
600 a year is indefensible The legisla-
ture at the earliest possible moment
should correct the fool law that makes
such a thing possible.
New York may point with pride to the
fact that il has the tallest this and the
biggest that in the world. But there is
nothing 10 make the chest swell out in
the fact that Just now it can boast Of
possessing the highest salaried officer in
inv army OF navy in the world.-New
York Globe.

CURRENT COMMENT
Vermont Ready to Do What Is Right.

Notwithstanding that no other state in
the union has yet done anything as a
state to increase the pay OF its soldiers
at the border or to assist their families,
Vermont will do its duty just as soon as
that duty is clear. There has been until
very recently lack OF knowledge con
corning the situation, both regarding the
needs and the plans of the general gov
eminent for relief. 1t is now clear that
in not few cases families are undergo
ing real hardship owing to the absence
of the breadwinners. Congress has been
slow to act and whatever it does can well
be added to that which the state will do
Every prompting of humanity and even
duty calls for an early and generous ac-
ton by the state. Let Vermont lead of;
other states will doubtless foIlow.--Ran-
dolph Herald and News.
