The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1916-07-27

The efforts being made by the Yer.
mont secretary of states department to
check up the automobile operators in
Vermont with view to correcting many
minor faults in the operation OF the law
are bound TO have a good effect because
they will round up the persons who are
running their machines on out of date
licenses or who have no licenses at all.
The first experiment was tried out in
Montpelier and will be followed by sim
liar efforts in many other places of the
state Motorists who are operating their
cars under bona fide licenses should vel
come the campaign started by the sec
rotary of states Office and they should
lend themselves cordially to the idea,
treating the representatives Of the secre-
tary Of states Office courteously. At the
same time it would be good policy for
all motorists. who have legal right 70
operate ears, TO carry their registration
cards with them To carry the cards
may save them some trouble later on.

safety first" as a motto for Vermont
motorists seems to have been thrown to
the winds, if one might judge by the ac-
cidents which have happened on railroad
grade crossings during the past few days,
the series eliminating in the collision
between train ami delivery automo-
bile near Fort Ethan Allen on Wednes-
day when a man was injured and boy
was killed As long as grade crossings ex-
list the motorists in particular must pay
attention to them and to the possibility
of being struck by trains. No person
with any degree of caution in his mental
makeup will drive onto a grade crossing
without first having taken a hasty sur
vey of both approaches. However, there
are still some people who foolshly place
them selves in the hands of luck when
they sit down back of the steering
wheel.

Irish Home Rule Middle.

| Members of the British government
appear to have wrecked the all but com
pleted agreement to put Irish home rule
into operation. They are not Irishmen
who have destroyed the promising plan.
1t has been ruined in the cabinet, most
ly by an English peer who is an Irish
landlord. The Irish leaders had agreed.
Mr.. Lloyd George, commissioned by Pre-
mier Asquith had presented the suggest
ed scheme of settlement, and both Mr..
Redmond and Sir Edward Carson had
submitted it to conventions OF their par
ties in Ireland, and mad been authorized
to accept it. The way was clear to ap-
ply the home rule act to all Ireland ex-
cept six counties in Ulster, deferring a
permanent arrangement in regard to
these till after the war.
But it seems that the plan was rot
sanctioned or not understood by the cab
met as a whole. Lord Landsdowne's
speech in the House of Lords twisted the
thing out of the shape in which it had
been accepted and hence the Indignation
now expressed by Mr.. Redmond and his
party. Once more we see that coalition
does not mean unanimty. On domestic
questions members of the ministry re-
main partisans. Mr.. Asquith thus tar
has handled the reins with a rare COM
bination of firmness and adroitness, con-
sidering that his team includes members
so antipodal as Lloyd George the ardent
Radical, and Jendsdowne, the frigid
Tory. \
What is the premier to do now?
Shelve the home rule question and have
the Nationalist party against the govern
ment, bringing Ireland to the verge of a
real revolution? Dissolve Parliament in |
the midst of the war, and hold general |
election while a vast number of the cleo
tors are at the front? Either horn of |
the dilemma would be calsmitous. And |
those who are responsible for the wreck
age of the Irish government will be held
guilty of criminal folly.-Boston Herald.

of the truth or not the truh at all. Tn,
confession should be considered in tn,
| light of other evidence in the case.
The mental condition of the respond
ent was briefly touched upon, but the
Judge said he did not understand that
the counsel for the defense placed much
emphasis upon that phase.
What motive had Williams to kill Jo-
seph Felch? 1t is not necessary in prov
ing crime TO show a motive; but if a
motive is shown it strengthens the ac-
eusation. Was Williams infatuated with
Mrs. Felch so that he should desire to
have Felch put out of the way and him
self to be separated from his wife so
that they could indulge in their improper
relations. 1t is conceded by the defense
that Felch was murdered Did Williams
do the deed? Or did he counsel, aid or
procure that the deed be done? Has the
state proven it beyond reasonable doubt
II you find that the respondent did it
alone or that he did ii with someone else
then he is guilty.
In closing his charge, Judge Stanton
said that Curtiss Brown would be fore
man of the jury and he instructed the
Jury that if verdict was found before
8 p m. the court would be ready to re-
ceive it and he doubted not that the law
yers would be ready also.
After the charge the counsel for the de
Tense gave notice of exceptions to the
charge; and the court announced that a
recess would be taken to o'clock Thurs
day morning.
During the whole charge, as well as
during the arguments, the respondent sat
placidly beside the rail, listening intent
" to all that was said but not betray
ing any emotion, although he seemed a
trife paler than he had been on the pre-
vious days.
As it was 8 o'clock when the Judge had
concluded his charge, the jurors were
formed in line and marched out OF the
courthouse to the hotel, where supper
vas served. Then the line was reformed
and they returned to the courthouse,
where they began their deliberations. To |
he few who watched it became evident !
hat verdict would not be announced |
,efore morning and shortly the members |
# the jury began to retire for the night, |
while the accused man housed in the |
ounty Jail was obliged to wait before
tearing the word that sealed his fate.
After the nights rest the jurors were
eady to announce their verdict when
curt reopened this morning.
A Liquor Case Taken Up.
Following the verdict, the court took
p the case of State VS.. Jose Aguero of
a liquor case. Attorney
'eneral Barber prosecuted, in the alb
ence of States Attorney Williams, who
as called to Burlington by the death
t his mother. William Wishart OF

CURRENT COMMENT
Experience VS.. Popularity.

The Bennington Banner observes of
two candidates for the position Of state
auditor, to be vacated by the promotion
to the goyernorship of Horace F. Ora
ham, that Benjamin Gates of Montpelier
is best known and that Thomas H. Cave,
ir, of Barre is the best trained. This
being the case, there should not be any
question in the minds of Vermont vot-
ers whom to choose for the office. No
matter how popular Mr.. Gates may be,
nor what his rare qualities of good fell
lowship may be, if Mr.. Cave, by virtue
of his experience, is the best qualified
the latter should be overwhelmingly
nominated for the position of auditor.
1t is peculiarly an Office in which bus
mess training, and not political favor,
should dictate the selection of its hold

chow BRITAIN PREPARED"
Park Theatre Monday, Tuesday, July 5;
Aug. /.

In days when we are almost surfeit
ed with war pictures and preparedness
propaganda, this film manages to stand
out, and is deserving of especial atten.
ton. Not only is it of value as study
and a lesson, but it is an excellent enter
tainment.
One of its chief virtues is its evident
genuineness. And right now, when
charges of flake" are being shouted
against numerous importations of battle
field films, this may be largely responsi-
BILE for its appeal. A wide variety OF
subjects is covered; they are assembled
in orderly and logical sequence; the story
they tell and the message they bring is
clear and Ineligible to all.
Moreover, the photographs were made
under the personal supervision of that
expert in photography, Charles Urban. He
has dared the winter of the North sea,
to get striking views of the great feet
at work; he has invaded the training
camps and the front, and the result il
well worth the great effort required.
The film is divided in two parts, the
first dealing with the organization and
drilling of Kitchener's great army, and
the second dealing with the sea, and the
naval side of the war. The first part Is.
subdivided into Recruiting and Drill
ing of Volunteers" Making Munitions,
Trench Work" Cavalry, Artillery and
Infantry" Field Telegraph
and Signalling Corps" Royal Flying
Corps" Motor Cycle Machine Gun Sec
ton" Provisioning an Army" His Ma
jesty, King George v" "of to the
Front" and Destroying a German
Blockhouse in Flanders" The second
part consists of Building and Launching

by what is generally believed to be SUI
perior army in numbers and by supply
of ammunition that is at least as good
as that of the Germans, bids fair to &C
complish the desired end. The British
drive has been kept up for a period of
about three weeks, considerably longer,
we believe, than any previous effort by
them, and now shows no signs of weak
ening. The British are able to bring up
renforcements from their reserve
strength and if the supply of ammuni
ton is maintained, the continued ham
mering at one point is likely to crumple
the German defense, courageous as it has
been thus far. The capture of Pozieres
which was effected only after the most
bitter struggle, is in itself an important
step forward in the offensive because the
heights of the place are such as to give
the attacking forces a commanding posi-
tion over the German third line of de-
Tense. The actual ground covered in that
victory is not nearly as great as that
gained further to the south along the
wide salient which the British and
French have been enabled to thrust into
the German line, but it will serve to
straighten out the British line on the
northern end, toward Thiepval where
desperate resistance had served to hold
up the advance.

Vermont's allotment of the national
good roads money is S22,S44 for the cur
rent year. somewhat more than New
Hampshire's, considerably larger than
Rhode Islands and quite bit less than
Names, Massachusetts, or Connecticut's.
As compared with the amount which the
state OF Vermont and the towns are put
ting into the good roads movement, the
national aid is small indeed; but it will
lend its help toward a splendid purpose.
Moreover, the amount will be much larg-
er in succeeding years, as the total fed,
eral appropriation increases by $4,000,
900 each year during the next four years.
