Secretary of State Black is compiling
statistics of Vermont automobile acct
dents and will have something interesting
for the next legislature to peruse The in
crease in the number of accidents is com
mon in other states as the production OF
cars goes up. Vermont motor owners
who have visited other states are of the
opinion that drivers in neighboring states
take a greater chance than Vermonters
and on the whole do not exercise as great
precaution, probably due to the fact that
their main highways are built wide enough,
for three ears to pass abreast while Yer
mont roads except In certain places will
accommodate two cars with perhaps a
motorcycle for good measure. The heads
of the automobile department agree that
new drivers of mature years are uniform

The Need Of Courage.

Courage In its most practical form
is not the daring that takes great
risks, but the patience that endures
little trials without complaint. the
hopefulness which is always looking
for the bright side. the pluck which
works on faithfully. even though it
does not see the result of its labors.

BARRE Times. J

The Vermont state official family is
about ready to hold family reunion, the
state fish and game department having
concluded the moving of its headquarters
from Cambridge, the home of the commits
sioner, to the state house in Montpelier
There may be a few stray members of the
official flock still outside the walls of the
state buildings in Montpelier, but to all
intents and purposes the family circle is
complete. They should never be allowed
to scatter again from the home hearth
stone, The place for the conduct of state
official business is at the state capital.

Free Advice to the Motorist.

(By Fuller Vice.
Push the old boat on over the road
And step on the throttle with glee;
Drive as if bent for the Devils abode.
Don t stop if you run over me-
Crowd on the gas-don t take any dust.
Get there you must, so make it or bust t,
Make her hump with all of her
might.
If anyone dares to get in your way
Just ride right over his bones;
Don t giveadam what the people say.
Just grind them into the stones.
The automobile is boss of the road.
SO send her for all that she Is worth;
If anyone gets in the way of your load
Just grind them into the earth.

SECRET SOCIETIES
 AID IN REVOLUTION
Such Organizations in Korea Are Understood to Have Millions of Members

Peking, March 13.-Several secret socie- ties whose numbers aggregate millions Of persons are supporting the independence movement in Korea It is understood, Notable among them are the progressive party and the Heaven Worshippers, which together have membership of more than 2,000 900 persons. Others are the New Korean society and the Light Restoring society. Sixty thousand students of near ly all educational institutions, including government schools, participated in the movement. It is stated that the insur- rection was supported by Christian and Buddhist bodies
 The Buddhists in Korea number about 1,O00,000. They have 2000 temples and 1Oo,- GOO priests. The Japanese have attempted to use Buddhism to strengthen their posi- tion in Korea, sending many young priests to Japan to be educated. Nevertheless, many Buddhists are believed to have been closely connected with the insurrecton.
 Christianity has made rapid progress Tn Korea for 90 years. Two large mission ary bodies are working there. The Amer ican Methodist mission has 750 churches and 100000 followers, while the American Presbyterian mission has 2o00 churches and 200 GOO adherents. The Korean Chris tians are mostly men of character and have received higher education.
 The demonstration in favor of independ- cree which begin in nearly all towns and villages throughout Korea on March l. were at first orderly and limited to the delivery of speeches and distribution of copies of manifestos. Later the move ment took distinctly revolutionary char acter and this resulted in clashes with the Japanese authorities and in casualties on both sides.

of food suitable for children and the sick. Most of the hospitals are badly in need Of blankets, linen, surgical dressings and medicine There has been an alarming increa SC in the number of typhus cases, particularly among the poor, many of whom have only one outfit of clothing which they never change or wash until worn out They are therefore good sub jects for the typhus house.
 The American Red Cross commission to the Balkans has sent number of physi- clans and nurses to help the local au- thorities and has also given the hospitals supplies of clothing, surgical dressings and medicines. It has relief stations at Ragusa, Spalato, Plume, Mostar and Sa- rajevo. The United States food adminis- tration is sending large quantities of flour and fats into the interior regions where destitution is worse.
 The people and government are pros foundly grateful for this help from Amer ica On every hand the correspondent beard expressions of admiration and grat- itude among the Bosnians and Serbians for this timely assistance.
 It is no exaggeration to say that Amer ica stands first in the affections of the people, not only because America has helped them with food and clothing, but because they feel that the great nation overseas has championed their struggle fol national unity and independence.

BOLSHEVISM SURE
 TO BE TEMPORARY
Englishman Recently Back From Russia Says It Cannot Exist
 Without Fuel
By Associated Press

London, April 1-"The present conflag- ration in Russia cannot last. Without fuel, in the form of food and supplies gen. orally, bolshevism must burn itself out"
 Such is the opinion of an Englishman who left Moscow February and has just reached home.
 T find in this country" he said "a general impression that the bolshevik leaders are nothing but violent criminals and robbers But they have other quail fications as well, such as organizing abil-
 ty, ruthless decision and the power to rule
 Public opinion as to the advantages of bolshevism is widely divergent. Those who have secured through the revolution comfortable sinecure, with monthly sa. " of perhaps 1500 rubles in one of the innumerable governmental depart ments which exist in every town, are not anxious to upset the present order of things. On the other hand, speculators and peasants who, through the misfor- tunes of the aristocratic and bourgeois classes, have lined their pockets, are now rather inclined to clamor for more stable and constitutional form of govern ment which would enable them to keep what they have unjustly gained. "As a whole, however, the people are apathetic, and though many of them will confide to you that they dislike bolshe- | vism and desire it's downfall, yet I doubt very much if they would be ready to give personal assistance to any such move | ment.
 r Lack of food is the greatest danger the bolshevik have to face. Bread and other commodities are becoming scarcer every day.
 "Rabid socialism is the order. and everything is commandeered and sold on
 voucher system through few shops managed by the Workers and Red Army
 ccmmittees.'

 to London of the fact that about 40 British 1 naval and military prisoners of war, cap tured on the north Russian front, were 1 now in captivity in Moscow. The officers are confined in small cells, but the men, he said, are permitted to move freely
 about the city and may even visit British
 residents. They are provided with bet | ter food than other prisoners and with

Ninety Millions a Day

BaSSett Blackley, in Leslie s.
 The costliest Congress which ever met appropriated money at the rate of $9O,- 1S9873 a day for each of it's 632 working days. The Sixty-fifth Congress set stag gering record of expenditure and what war. costs, for business was transacted at an average of less than one bill a day. The record is also insignificant when an average of 35 bills were introduced in the war Congress each day. There was either negligence in the consideration given the legislation, or an overwhelming number of worthless measures were presented. Out of the 22.594 bills offered, only 453 passed during the longest session in history. with the exception of one. But appropriations amounting to S57, ,0G0 900 900 were approved and war declared and won in the mean time, and legislation enacted which up- rooted every American precedent. Much important legislation was carried through Congress, not upon an independent basis. but as a rider attached to another bill to which it frequently bore no relation. In the six appropriation bills which went through since last July. 22s items were carried which had no bearing whatever on appropriations. The bone dry law for the District of Columbia was carried on the war revenue bill Two items relating to shipping went on the army bill, the road-building project was put through along with the postoffice appropriation measure Riders are almost invariably attached to measures that only by such juggling will they be able to put through ,<<v . .vnfc-tc.
