A SORRY EXHIBITION.

The automobile collision in the town
Of Waterford on June II, by means OF
which baby was hurled from one ma
chine against ledge, following which
crash the machine, still able to turn
its engine, made away as fast as pos
sible from the scene without waiting to
determine the damage done or the in
iuries inflicted, calls for a rather thor
ough. going investigation. If it was a
Vermont car and the driver had Yer
mont operators license there is, OF
course, only one way--to revoke the IL
cense for the remainder Of the year.
That much for the state of Vermont's
part in the civil proceedings. What
might remain along the line OF crimi-
nal action or civil action for damages
by the party who sustained bereave-
ment and monetary loss is left for the
prosecuting officer and the party ag'
grieved, respectively. 1t was a very
serious case and while the driver Of
the car that speeded away may not
have been entirely to blame for the
collision there was something distinct
ly culpable in hurrying aawy before
determining the damage done.

Judge Anderson and the Aliens.

The decision of United States Dis
trict Judge George W, Anderson Of
Boston releasing nearly score of alien
reds who were held for deportation
by the federal department of labor on
the ground that they were undesirables
within the meaning of the deportation
laws, hinges evidently on the meaning
of the words "force" and violence" in
the federal act of October l6, 1918
Since the communist party advocates
the attainment of its program by the
general strike, beyond any question:
Judge Anderson was finally obliged to
decide whether Congress meant the
word force" to include the general
strike when advocated as a political or
economic weapon by aliens. The judges
conclusion was thus expressed;
1t would be strange to find Congress
dealing with the general strike in this
inadequate and disguised fashion. I'm
questionably the general strike is a
tremendous almost a terrorizlng
force. But it is not violence, although
violence may follow as an incident to
any strike, general or special. Did
Congress, by the act of October 10,
1918, intend thereby to outlaw the
general strike, at any rate when adj
vocated by aliens? | am unable to be-
lieve that such was the purpose of
Congress. For about century the
tendency of lawmaking bodies has
been to facilitate and legalize, not to
outlaw, strikes as forces in industrial
conflict The trend of American courts
has been to limit the power of the
courts to interfere with strikes by in
junction.
There is unquestionably gap in the
law, as the judge points out. A general
strike has not been declared unlawful
in express terms. There is much am
biguity and judges will find themselves
with considerable leeway and discre
ton If they have a general strike to
deal with. The Republican national
platform, in declaring against the
right" to strike against the govern
ment' was not explicit enough. for it
omitted to say whether il denied the
moral right or the legal right to strike.
A general strike. Of course, is much
broader in scope than strike against
the government. - Springfield Republi

Reports from state Offices in Mont
pelier assert that large number of
boys and young men have offered their
services for work on farms during the
summer vacation months and that the
supply of this sort of farm labor is
so plentiful that not all the volunteers
have been Assigned. In view of the fact
that there has been such protest by
farmers about their inability to get
help to harvest crops this is an odd sit
uation. There ought TO be no doubt
about the chance of a willing boy to
work if the situation is at all as de-
seribed by many farmers.

that he is not convalescent from 10

which Theodore Roosevelt cast at Chi
