The difficulties arising from the
general rule OF law that an owner IL
not responsible for damages inflicted
with his car unless at the time OF the
accident the car was used with HE
consent, express or implied. and for
his benefit or purposes, has resulted
In the enactment OF statutes In some
states which purport 10 impose lia-
bility upon an owner upon mere
proof that his csJ was In an accident
and that the person who was driving
IL was guilty OF negligence which re-
suited in another's damage. Such a
statute was passed by the legislature
OF Michigan, but in a recent decision
OF the supreme court OF that State the
statute was declared TO be unconstitu-

Trainer Out After Dale's Place.

Raymond Trainer of White River
Junction, candidate for congress
against Porter H. Dale of Island Pond
has given out the following state
ment:
GAS / am a candidate for congress
for the second district, the voters of
that district should know my position
on important questions that will pro-
badly come before the next congress
for consideration.
81 am opposed to the Volstead act.
If elected / would vote to amend it
to permit the manufacture and sale
of beer of small alcoholic content,
high wines and cider under the state
Local Option principle.
at is, and always has been, my
opinion that all constitutional amend
ments should be adopted or rejected
by a referendum vote of the people
This procedure was not followed in
placing the eighteenth amendment
in the federal constitution. However
if the Volstead act were amended, as
Il have indicated, l do not believe
there would be any serious agitation
for the resubmission of the constitu-
tional amendment
Congress or the state would pre-
scribe the way in which beer, light
wines and cider could be sold. Public
opinion has abolished the former
American saloon forever, and / per-
sonally do not believe that the saloon
should be reinstated as a method of
distribution of these beverages.
81 am-not advanced as candidate
in the interests of any labor organ
iZation or any business enterprise.
am grateful for the endorsement /
sfaiy 10
unions in my town and know that
this enforcement was given because
of a belief that / would give labor
square deal and nothing more. Cap
ital is as essential to the welfare of
this country as is labor, and is entitled
to and will receive from me /, if elect
ed, the same consideration and treat
ment that will be accorded the Just
and reasonable demands of labor In
the disputes that may arise between
the two / shall feel that it is my duty
to consider first the public welfare and
interests.
at is my belief that federal taxes
now levied and collected are an i'm
portant factor in the high cost of
living. If elected / pledge my sup
port to such legislation as will correct
the injustice now existing and fur
tnSf pIeuSe mySeI Tor an economical
administration of the affairs and the
abolition of unnecessary and expensive
departments
Il will vote for the enactment of
laws that will prove beneficial to the
agricultural interests of this country.
Il am in favor of a reasonable
adjustment of the requests of the ex-
service men who participated in the
World war.
Il will be pleased to state nv posi-
ton on any question of legislation at
any time to any voter"

Running True to Form.
(Enosburg Standard)

When Governor Clement wrote his
remarkable letter to the Republican
state committee, refusing the request
that he call special session of the
Vermont legislature to act upon the
woman's suffrage amendment he un-
doubtedly thought his reference to the
committees request as political
propaganda" enhanced his reputation
as a wit and master of sarcasm, and
that his contention that such legisla-
ton infringes on the constitution of
the state, showed a capacity for ex-
pounding constitutions as profound
as that of old John Marshall himself.
On the contrary the governor, as
usual, only made himself ridiculous
and exposed his ignorance of the
fundamentals of constitutional law.
Whether his conclusions were evolved
from the operations of his own mind,
or were based on poor advice, Mr..
Clement is merely running true to
form as a reactionary, with no SYM
pathy with progressive ideas or meas
ures but little interest in any public
question but that of his pet hobby of
booze.
Thirty-four states and including all
of the eastern, northern and western
states of the Union, except Vermont,
Connecticut and Washington, have
ratified the suffrage amendment Six
states only, all southern, have refus-
ed to ratify. Of the eight states yet
to act the necessary two will eventu-
ally ratify.
Vermont, through the perversity of
a reactlonary governor, is placed in
the unenviable and humiliating posi-
ton of failing to do its share in a
matter of political justice, and prob
ably preventing adoption of the
amendment in time to give women the
right to vote for president this year.

A Plainfield Murder and Suicide.

In a fit of rage, perhaps because
the woman refused to marry him at
one, Hoyt, Gallup, aged 60, Plainfield
farmer, shot and killed Mrs. E. M.
Fenwick, aged 81, widow, at her
home i'm Barre town on the Plainfield
road early Monday morning and then,
after driving in mad haste to his own
home, killed himself with a bullet
through the heart. They had been
together much in the last year and a
half, and Mr.. Gallup had let it be
known that he expected to marry
Mrs. Fenwick, the first date named
by him having been year ago this
month. So it is expected that disap-
pointment over postponement of the
marriage, or possibly refusal by
Mrs. Fenwick, may have been the
cause of the double tragedy.

State as Mother and Trustee.
(Rutland Herald)


In report of hearing before the
municipal court in st. Johnsbury the
following significant paragraph APP
pears:
Mrs. Bumps testified that she did
not love her children except the
youngest one, and did not care any
thing about them. States Attorney
thompson filed a complaint against
Mrs. Bumps for neglecting her chill
dren, to which she pied guilty. The
court thereupon sentenced her to the
state prison in Windsor for a term
OF not more than two years nor less
than one year and eleven months, and
placed her on probation under the
charge Of the state probation officer,
who LAID down some strict rules for
her future guidance, which her past
conduct seemed to require.
The case is typical of many which
come before the state board of chart
ties and probation This Bumps wom-
an, who lives in Barton, is the mother
OF three children, one of them vic

them neglected, according to the re-

A little study of the yes and no
vote IN Orleans county convinces ono
that there is nothing i'm the fact that
tour towns, Bloomington, Irasburp
Jay and Lowell voted for license tbis
year and that the yes vote in the
county was 40 against only 661 no
therefore making the proportion of
yes to no votes run very much higher
THAN 1T has ever done before. The
Tact is that the yes vote is smaller
than 1t has been many years in the
past In 1908 when the local option
test was made Orleans county cast
Iof votes for local option law. In
1914 Orleans county cast 451 YES
votes and IN 1916 cast 456 yes votes.
while this year the yes vote was 41O
IN some years the vote has fallen be--
10" these figures, but the no vote has
SIMPLY fallen "out of sight" from it's
usual average. In 1903 the no vote
was Zol9 IN Orleans county, and in
dSl4 1t was 1866 and in 1919 II woS
1906 This would indicate that fully
QUO OF the no vote did not put in its
appearance while the yes vote was
very nearly normal. The only COM
lott we can see for the wet crowd in
lnese returns is the beautiful apathy
OF the prohibition crowd.
