Thou Shalt Not Steal
Rutland Herald.)

(Rutland Herald)
pathetic story comes from Bur
lington which illustrates the fact that
most children, unless carefully taught
have no notion whatever of property
rights and steal as naturally and in.
stinetively as kittens and puppies.
This might perhaps be modified by
the statement that Just as kittens and
puppies of trained and well-brcd stock
seldom steal unless driven by hunger
Just SO children of well-disciplined
families instinctively have a knowl
edge Of "mcum and teum' and seldom
steal unless taught.
In the Burlington case, three little
tots, from five TO seven years old
children of poor families, raised the
window of a toy shop, filled their arms
with the treasures which they had
seen by pressing their little noses to
the glass and were heart broken when
the loot was taken away from them
and the enormity of theft explained.
No doubt their parents were sean.
dalized when they learned of the raid
on the toy shop, but in all probabiIitF
the little folks had never been told
what theft meant, SO that the care
less, trust-to-teacher method of the
average parent may have been direct
~ to blame.
Few people will read the story of
this pitiful little episode without a
choke in the throat and wish that
something might be done, not only to
give little more pleasure and color
to such lives, but to teach them the
elements of common honesty.
The toys included tiny snow shov-
els, wooden automobiles, blocks, doll
swings, etc, the whole representing
less than a dollar in value. How MANY
times we have wasted five and ten
times that amount on matter of sell
fish pleasure, while these little ones
were playing in the street and with
probably not even a doll or a toy to
play with

NEW CAR STARTLES BROADWAY.
Premier Six With Magnetic Gear Shift
Does Variety Of Stunts.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1S-In less than
an hour and without the firing of a
gun the capture of New York was eff
fected today By a single long, low,
rakish looking craft with submarine
lines, which mysteriously appeared on
Broadway just as the morning traffic
was thickening and presently disap-
peared without warning and with no
explanation of her strange mission.
Later she was discovered at her al
ready prepared dock on the sales floor
of the Peugeot Auto Import Co., at
59th and Broadway.
Investigation disclosed her identity.
She is the new Premier Aluminium
Six with magnetic gear shift and rep
resents a new type of boat.
Her maneuvers on Broadway were
the most sensational ever witnessed III
city famed for adept motor ear exc
cution. Navigating at knot an hour
! on high, suddenly sprin2ing to twenty
knots, falling back TO five and picking
up to twenty in exactly seven seconds
by the stop watch, her actions sug-
gested those of black bass 1t was
on the traffic line, however, that she
distinguished herself most Held back b.
the traffic officer, when he finally gave
the ego ahead she beat the rest OF
the traffic across invariably by from
three to four car lengths
The speed with which she got under
way dumbfounded owners Of ears famed
for their acceleration-unti ii was
j learned that her uneanny power was
due to new device, with which she is
equipped, known as the Cutler Hammer
magnetic gear shift, which does com
/ pletely away with all hand gear shift
ing. making it possible for the craft
to hold all Of her speeds subject to
instant command
Time and again she demonstrated an
unheard of short turning radius by
wheeling completely around in q space
too narrow for even the smaller cars
j to turn in. The new Premier is said to
have the shortest turning radius of
any ear of its wheel base in the world.

visible supply running short every
month until November, when the price
IS standing tip-toe on the mountain
top. When we stand aside in a medi-
tatlve mood and watch the law of sup
ply and demand boost the price of hard
coal during the heated term, we are
inclined to believe that congress would
be more popular if it repealed the said
law and then adjourned.
There have been several earnest at
tempts in recent years to put kicking
straps on the law of supply and de.
mand, so that it would not rear M
every now and then and compel the
frugal householder to burn cobs in the
furnace. Several good and pure trusts
have been broken up into small chunks
but this law has stepped in and pre-.
vented them from losing any money to
speak of. In spite of these facts, there
are those in our midst who nave nc
confidence in the law of supply and
demand and would be pleased to swat
the same Just below the iugular vein
with a dull axe.

certain their ultimate purpose is to re-

agreed to take the field in the new rev

to unique but highly efficient means

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER is. 1916.
THE COMING ELECTION.

One of the most fascinating features
of our presidential campaigns for some
years now has been the New York Her
aid S forecast. Since the Herald be-
gan its straw vote counting among all
sorts and conditions of people il has
never missed in its final score ON the
Sunday before election. The Herald
hasn't any politics, though this year it
is supporting Hughes. or rather it is
opposing Wilson 5 policies in intcrna-
tional affairs. Its detachment from
any party has given it fairer chance
to be frank and honest in its count. As
the campaign advances the Herald s
forecast changes in about the same de
gree that most observers note change.
When the Herald published its first
straw vote analysis on October /, it
showed Mr.. Hughes leading Wilson by
a narrow margin. On October - the
count still stands with Mr.. Hughes. but
his margin is growing narrower. Two
weeks ago Mr.. Hughes was polling $40
per cent of the vote counted and Presi-
dent Wilson had As per cent with the
rest of the vote going to Benson, the
Socialist.
Last Sunday Hughes had dropped TO
oil of the vote and Wilson had adj
vanccd to 46.4. Mr.. Benson had come
up from 1.G per cent to % per cent.
This means that the election three
weeks hence will be one of the closest
ever contested in the country As the
campaign advances it is shown that or
gained labor is almost a hundred per
cent Wilson. If President Wilson
should win his reelection by this great
accession to his side it would prove
that an adroit man in the White House
could at any time seize an occasion of
this Kind to perpetuatc his power. ANY
organization with large vote back of
it might play its game around a re-
election president candidate and get
by. 1t is one of the best arguments
for one term for the president that has
ever been developed, though no presi-
idcnt before has ever made use Of such
a chance to attract large vote to him
self.
The Herald finds the woman votes
are difficult to poll, in Illinois especial
ly where they are voting for president
for the first time. On the whole If
finds that women are largely swaycd
by the agument that President Wilson
has kept us out of war. According to
the Herald they count that higher than
they count the suffrage chances of their
unenfranchised sisters of other states.
They have suffrage in the hand and are
going forward to the next step.
The Herald finds that four states.
New York, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana
VIII beyond all question decide the
election and that any one of them NAV
he the deciding state. All of these
states the Herald considers doubtful
at this stage, with Hughes holding the
better chance in Illinois, Indiana and
New York, and the Ohio situation
toss-up.' The Herald's count cannot
be accepted as final nor is it given as
that. 1t is merely what the man in
the street finds, but when that man
puts Massachusetts in the Wilson col
umn, his count must have been mixed.
Two things the Herald shows conclu-
sively. One is that if is not to ben
landslide. The vote will be in doubt
