Much as has been said in the press of
late with regard to the danger to the
general public from drunken autoists,
Nothing that has been said has been
at all exaggerated Serious and fatal
accidents recently in this State have
emphasized the warnings in the press
concerning this menace to public
safety,
This matter is engaging the atten-
ton of States other than our own, and
news dispatch says that the secre-
rotary of State at Albany has revoked
the licenses of SO operators of auto
mobiles, % of these, or 81 per cent
being revoked because of conviction
for operating cars while intoxicated.
Now why should not every person
applying for a license to operate an
automobile be required to sign a total
abstinence pledge? If railroads re-
quire their engineers to be abstalners
why should not the State require all
chaufTeurs to be abstainers, as well?
Save for the fact that the number Of
passengers he carries is vastly larger
the danger from a hand guided by a
muddled brain is more dangerous
when upon the steering wheel of an au-
tomobile than when upon the throttle
of locomotive. An automobile is
constantly meeting other vehicles upon
its own track, a locomotive almost
never. An automobile goes at any old
time, a locomotive upon schedule time
only. An automobile goes anywhere
its driver tries 10 steer it, if it can, a
locomotive only upon its two lines Of
steel. Where one pei son walks upon a
railroad track thousand walk upon the
path of the auto.
These are but few of the reasons
why the risks from a drunken autoist
are more and greater than from a
drunken engineer. Hence licenses as
chauffeurs shuld be issued to abstainers
only.
OF course, not every person who
drinks occasionally becomes intoxicated,
but even one drink, and that of a
mild beverage, increases the liability
to accident in that it inclines one to
take greater risks, and to be less OBJ
hvious to the danger. Hence, not in
any narrow and fanatical sense, but
simply and solely with a desire to pre-
vent the further duplication and re-
duplication of fatal accidents, the Re-
porter urges the condition mentioned
as a perquisite for chauffeur's Ii
cense. And this to be true for an
owner who runs his own car, as well
as for one who is hired to run the car
of another Booze and business, when
running automobiles, are dangerous
partnership, and should not be toll
Grated. That may lesson the number
of licenses but it will increase the pub
lie safety.

SPLENDID TRIBUTE.
Rutland News.

Bishop j. j. Rice of the Catholic
diocese of Burlington paid splendid
tribute to Bishop DeGoesbriand, for
nearly half century at the head of
his church in this State, in the letter
sent out to the people. The proposed
Sl50,OOO hospital in memory of the
honored name, this being the centennial
of the birth of Bishop DeGoesbriand,
will doubtless be speedily Forthcoming
through the efforts of Bishop Rice and
his priests and parishioners in this
State. A better memorial could not be
conceived.

CHRISTMAS TREES.

The Rutland Herald says: "The an
nual Christmas tree slaughter is about
to begin in Orleans county, which, ac-
cording to the Barton Monitor, is ex-
cellent business, If we happened to own
a pasture adjoining a woodlot, we
should prefer to have the trees grow
and become timber" Surprising that
was the only pasture you had, and
every new spruce tree made that less
pasturage for your stock, and few
years of letting 1.-THE trees grow and
become timber" would make it i'm
possible to pasture any stock, and thus
render your farm worth so to rs per
cent less, what then? In many cases
it is shortsighted policy to sell the
rapidly growing spruce trees for a
song, just as the Herald thinks, in
others it would be better to give them
away than to allow them to grow and
spoil otherwise good pasturage. This
the writer knows, having been born
and bred on farm where just this has
happened to an otherwise excellent
grazing field.

What this country needs today TO

a more extensive and intensive agricul-

like the one now being conducted in

ARRESTED IN RUTLAND.

Edward Holcomb Of Vergennes was
arrested in Rutland few days ago by
Policeman S. C. Warren and taken to
Vergennes where he is wanted on a
charge of burglary. The immediate
cause of his arrest was the decision of
his bondsmen to avoid the responsibility.
Holcomb was located by the Rutland
police where he had been working for a
few weeks. 1t is claimed by the State
that the man broke into the home of a
relative a short time ago and stole
some lead pipe. For the alleged offense
he was arrested and three Vergennes
men, one of them Arthur w. Hawkins,
went the $500 bail. The young man
promised to pay so much a week to the
bon dsmen so when his trial came off in
December he would be prepared to meet
the expenses of the case. He neglected
to do this and his bondsmen asked for
his arrest.

VERMONT OPINION
HANDLING FIREARMS,
barre Times,

Every youth who takes a rifle or shot
gun into his hands should bear in mind
the sad case of the l4-year-old boy at
Marshfeld who was killed when thrust
ing a shotgun, butt first, INTO a boat.
The safe way to handle firearms is with
the butt toward the holder and the muz-
zle pointed downward, A still safer
way is to leave firearms alone until the
bump of caution is sufficiently de-
veloped.

Decries Preparedness as
Promoting Tendency Towmd
War in Miners Report
BY Associated Press

Indianapolis Ind, Jan. 19. A
declaration against military prepar-
edness as promoting a tendency to-
ward war and a recommendation that
the United Mine Workers of America
go on record as opposed to the ma
tional administration plans in this re-
gard. were contained in the annual
report which William Green. secre-
tary-treasurer of the union, presented
to the convention of the organization
here last night.
This preparedness program, this
warlike policy, is directly opposed to
the traditions of our nation and the
high ideals of our form of govern
ment,' said the report. "A large
standing army is menace not only
TO the peace and safety of the AM
erican people but of the entire world
as well. The laboring people of our
nation are against militarism and war.
This convention, representing such a
large number of people. engaged in
such an important occupation as coal
mining, ought to give expression to its
attitude toward this so-called pre-
paredness program
The report showed a decrease in the
average paid up membership of the
union for the fiscal year ending De-
cember l, 1915, but added that the
figures were gratifying" in view of
confronted many of the locals. The
effect of the Ohio and Colorado strikes
was dwelt on in connection with the
membership and financial figures.
The report said in part:
During part of 1914 and all OF
1915 the United Mine Workers OF
America, in common with all other
labor organizations. felt the blighting
influence of an industrial depression.
Many mines were idle for long periods
and thousands of men were thrown
out of employment. The monthly re-
ports of local union officers show that
these conditions were nationwide"
OF the new wage agreements to
take the place of the present ones ex-
piring March 81. he said:
The work will he trying and will
test the wisdom and ability of those
who represent you in these wage
conferences. Industrial conditions
are more favorable now and 1 hope
as result of the brighter outlook we
shall be able to work out wage con.
tracts in every mining section of the
country without involving our mem
bership in either n strike or lockout"

Await Appropriation For I'M
provements at Rockville;
Changes at Sunbury

Additional appropriations for fur
ther improvements in Harrisburg and
Enola yards are expected early in
February. 1t is said that with the en-
largement of the yard facilities at sun
bury. more track room will be needed
at Rockville and Enola to take care
of increased freight traffic from the
north.
Four tracks will be added to the
Sunbury yards. each one and one-third
miles in length. This will require the
filling in of the bank along the Sus-
quehanna river at that point. The cost
will reach 100000. These new tracks
will be used exclusively for freight to
and from Harrisburg and Williams
port.
The capacity of the Harrisburg
yards is at present taxed in handling
east and west bound freight. The
four new tracks now being put down
will take care of this rush. With more
freight coming from the north, it is
said. new tracks running from the
local yards to Rockville will be neces-
Sary.

Ten Feet Limit Of Film
Kiss in Pa. Is Opposed

Washington, Jan. 19.-The effect of

clared Stephen Bush, editor of the
Moving Picture World, appearing be-
fore the House Committee on Edu-
cation, conducting hearing on the pro-
posed national censorship of movies.
THAT is, out of thousand feet OF
film in a picture the censors in Ohio

feet" said the witness.
