auto drivers rave been particularly de
fiant in their attitude toward speed regu-
~lations, and the presence of a bad curve
near the Bloody Brook monument has
caused some of them to pay an unlocked
for penalty. Speeding of Individual cars
was not the worst of the situation. In
stances nave occurred where impromptu
races were put on, with all the peril
which events of this sort entail when
staged on a public t~horoughfare.
The law relating to speed is not an OPP
pressive one. 1t simply requires the mo-
torist to use the good Judgment which
everyone ought to exercise, if only for
their own protection. Reasonable speed
on open roads between towns is not inter
fered with. But rushing through resi-
Dental and business sections at a fast
road gait cannot be permitted, and is not
attempted by the driver who makes a
practice of observing due care.
The crusade is already having good re
suits, in that it has put a little fear Of
the law into the minds of the reckless.
If a decline in death and accident rate
follows, it will have been distinctly
worth while.

"When a farmer orders a box of
bolts of a certain make and size he
does not expect to find a thin layer of
the bolts specified on top and assorted
ones underneath, " says the department
of agriculture. In the world of com
merce a manufacturer who pursued such
practices would soon be bankrupt. The
same principle applies to the sale of
farm products. For instance, it is es-
timated that in 1919 the potato grow
ers in Virginia increased their profit a
half-million dollars by grading their
produce. Most of the apple growers of
the country have found hat grading
means increased monetary returns and
it applies as well to any other crop of
vegetables or fruit.

THE SOVIET CONSTITUTION.

LII ~ AS4N !
In an article by Mark Vishniak, who
was secretary of the All-Russian con-
s%tituent assembly, a searching analysis
is made of the Soviet constitution
which saw the light of the world in
the ninth month of the Soviet rule. He
asserts that the very fact of writing
the constitution was merely one of the
concessions which Bolshevism found it.
self compelled to make. He says ''the
Bolsheviki had always frowned upon
all constitutions, particularly upon
written ones, regarding them as sur
vivals of bourgeois society" When
the Bolsheviki succeeded in overthrow
ing the sort of government headed by
Kerensky, and to which they referred
as an "imperialist republic" they
framed a constitution to give judicial
expression to the system which they
intended to set up.
Section one of this constitution con
sists of "The bill of rights of the toll
ing and exploited people," Vishniak
calls attention to the fact hat the part
of the constitution that follows after
the bill of rights was framed at an
other time, when "the hopes of the
Bolsheviki appeared nearer realization,
when Bolshevism was not merely try
ing to keep floating, but on the con-
trarv. to drag into its whirlpool, to fire
by its example, by its tablets of the
new dispensation, all other countries. ,
Vishniak contrasts sovietism in the
explicit form of its constitution with
the representative forms of government
of the western democracies. He says:
''The fundamental principle of present
day democracy is universally and
equality of right and duties; there are
no rights without duties as there are
no duties without rights. This prin
ciple, however, is r%epudiated by soviet
ism. Those who do not work, being
deprived by the Soviet constitution of
even the right to eat, are naturally
deprived of civil and political rights.
In conformity with the thesis of lib
erty not for all, but only for the work
ing and exploited masses, the %consti-
tuition deprives the so-called 'exploiter
classes not only of liberty, but of all
rights whatsoever. Their portion has
been made to consist of duties only. In
the place of democracy, of popular rule,
| this constitution grants power to a
privileged faction of the nation, to ia
borocracy.' Herein lies the soul of
sovietism."
It is pointed out in this article that
what constitutes work is, in the mean
ing applied to it by the Bolsheviki, Of
very limited definition, and the Soviet
constitution expressly prescribes the
limitations. Vishniak affirms that
Heven in the ranks of the working
class. which the constitution endows
with civic and political privileges,
there is no room for universally or
equality of rights. In the midst of
this privileged class there exist still
more privileged, or equally favored,
classes and groups. The Soviet consti-
tuition grants the right of suffrage,
not to all workers but, outside of the
soldiers and sailors of the Red army
and navy, only to those persons who
earn their living by productive and
socially useful work, and also TO per-
sons engaged in lousehold duties which.

The sale of a considerable portion of
the Bradley farm north of West river
to the county milk producers associ-
alton is a business transaction of more
than ordinary Importance when consid-
cred in the light of developments that
may follow. The milk plant which the
association plans to erect not only will
represent a sizeable investment itself
but promises to turn a large amount of
business toward this town by making
it the dairying center of the locality.
There is also the possibility hat re-
lated industries, like cheese, butter and
ice cream plants, will follow the cree
ton of the milk station. The stimu-
lating effect that the project should
have on the d~airying business here
abouts already has been pointed out,
and the fact that milk producers are
the men who are investing their money
in the new corporation show pretty
clearly what they think of it. A good
deal of the credit for bringing the ven
ture to its present state of fulfllment
belongs to County Agent w. P. Frost,
who is enthusiastic over the possibili-
ties of a milk plant in this town and
has worked z~ealously and intelligently
for months to put the plan in opera
tion.

An Average American.
(St. Adams Messenger

They say Calvin Coolidge is a poser.
Because he passed his vacation on the
Vermont farm where he was born and
while there did chores, MIXED the cow,
cut hay, etc, it is said that he did all
this for effect. Then, when he went home
to be notified of his nomination and
helped get ready for his guests by NOW
ing the lawn, it is said this was done for
effect also.
Being criticized in this way is one of
the prices men nave to pay for being
prominent in the public eye. 1t doesn't
matter much what such a man does, he
viii get the criticism just the same.
What Calvin Coolidge did on the Vermont
farm and at his home were the natural
acts of the average American citizen.
