That this record is far out of proportion

September, automobiles killed forty-six

carried perhaps one hundred times as many
people; wagons, four. For full year the
number would be 84S. All

causes, scarce half as many in two years.
The population of the state may have

cent. Childhood and extreme age are most
threatened BY the new terror, but no age

Where Mr.. Roosevelt is Wrong.
New York World)

A~N' wi n " Cliu.f
We did not go to war to make demo-
crazy safe, said Mr. Roosevelt at Johns
town, and we did go to war because we
had a special grievance
1t Is true that we had a special griev-
anee, but on the main issue we went to
war to make democracy safe. because
otherwise We ourselves could not be
safe
Let us suppose that Germany offered to
redress our special grievance to abandon
ruthless submarine warfare. to make full
reparatlon for all the injuries done to ms
to apologize for the plots and conspiracies
against the safety and security of the
United States and to give pledges for ire
proaehable conduct in the future. Would
Mr. Roosevelt favor making senarato
peace and abandoning France and Great
Britain Certainly not Nor would any
other intelligent and patriotic American.
There can be no safety for the United
States against German aggression excent
as there is safety for the British the
French, the Italians, the Belgians. the
Russians, and for every other people en-
gagged IN the struggle against Prussianism
The security of every one of these demo-
cratic peoples depends upon the security
OF all, which is what the President meant
when he SAID we must make the world
safe for democracy"
Mr.. Roosevelt is wrong if he thinks that
the United States is pouring out its blood
and ITS treasure merely to redress "a

Don't Spoil Your Sport.

state Fish and Game Commissioner
Leavens makes q few sensible sngges-
tons TO sportsmcn starting on their fall
trips and informs them, among
other things, that while title to the wild
life Is vested in the state or nation. the
right to hunt on most of the land in the
state rests with the people who own il.
A hunter s license carries no land per
init. 1t is up to the 90. 900 Nimrods in
Vermont, he reminds them. to act as field
agents for landowners by assisting in
the prosecution Of any violation Of
rights and in seeing that the
country does not suffer from their sport.
The commissioner warns the hunters
that the destruction OF more wild life
each year than comes into existence
means rapid and complete extermina-
ton and the only way to prevent this is
to Kill vermin, feed birds in winter and
observe reasonable bag limits Insec-
tlyorous birds are of untold value to
the land, and their preservation should
be the hunter $ special care. Too MANY
sportsmen entertain the erroneous idea
that evading the fish and game laws
adds zest to their sport. but those laws
were enacted for their benefit and I'M
less they live up to the slogan Of "sput
ting back two birds for every one
taken applying the same to fish and
quadrupedS-they only spoil their own
fun.

The old boys of Company ! of Brattle-
boro, who in 1898, when the war against
Spain was declared, volunteered their
service to their country, just as thou
sands of a younger generation have been
doing the past few months, feel a sense
of personal loss in the death in a New
York hospital Of Gerald King of Bel
lows Falls. Gerald was a soldier of
fortune, scion of distinguished mill
tary family lie was only a youngster
when he went with the Brattleboro bows
to the fever-infested camp at Chicka-
manga, but he was possessed of an in
dependent income, and when his little
"pink' checks arrived he shared his
patrimony freely with his less fortunate
comrades His good cheer and kindli-
ness win always be remembered by those
who were associated with him in the
days when the young soldiers waited
and waited in unsanitary conditions for
orders to active service which never
came. In recent years King had been
well known as an actor, but he turned
aside from the stage to 60 to France
as an ambulance driver, and while there
was stricken with paralysis, which ter
minated in death in a New York hospi-
tai after he had been brought back help
less to this country.
