The Speed Maniac.
(Rutland Herald. J

The Brattleboro Reformer calls atten-
tion to the actions of a speed maniac,
from somewhere in Vermont, - out
side of Windham county, who drove his
car from Greenfield Mass. to Brattle-
bore, , miles, in % minutes
The RefoEmer very properly observes
that this variety of motor madness is
characteristic Of "a fool who is en-
dangering the rights and lives of other
people,
The contemporary might have gone
further and called the motorist a law
breaker, because such a milc-a-minutC
stunt is against the laws of both Mas
sachusctts and Vermont. It is the nc
spectacle citizen S duty TO see that
such a maniac is restrained by law.
The great majority Of men who drive
motor-cars are fairly careful of theil
own lives and the lives Of others, bu
every man on the road is at the mere,
OF the speed maniac who Disregard
| the laws of his own state and all othc
states in order to crafty a silly pas
sion for rapid driving

thing has been done to lodge a com
plant against him.

The agricultural expert of the Brat.

picking apple blossoms in order to con
serve the apple crop next fall. Apple
trees which are well grown and blossom
freely have many times more blossoms
than they could possibly produce fruit
Picking blossoms from such tree is
entirely proper if it is done with iudg
ment and not too much in one place
A small tree or one with lust a few
blossoms should not he molested. 1t i.

was a pretty good lawyer. The fact that
tact with the courts for years as an
important state officer has given him
a rare opportunity to see wherein our
courts are at fault. In making his rec
concentrations we may rest assured
that Gov. Graham man of the
highest type of probitv and honesty
has reasons for the faith that is in
him. We feel sure that he will be will
ing to tell the members of both
branches of the legislature just what
led him to devise his plan for re-
organization of the courts. The county
delegations, III caucus assembled, might
ask the governor for an interview on
this particular subject. We believe he
would give them light.
Gov. Graham deserves support and a
fair hearing. A man with the moral
courage to work for changes which
viii affect some of his warm personal
friends because he sees in the prospec.
tive changes n better government and
a quicker dispensation Of Justice, is a
man worthy of confidence and support
1t is a time when the farmers and

much lawyer domination in Vermont
already.
