The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-06-10

Governor Clement was reported to be
keeping within the four boundaries Of
Vermont for fear that Lieutenant Gov.
ernor Stone on being acting governor
for FIVE minutes might call special
session Of the Vermont legislature to
ratify the woman suffrage amendment.
II is quite generally believed that Lieu
tenant Governor Stone thinks a spe-
cial session should be called, but it is
not thought likely that he would take
advantage of an opportunity like a
Eve minutes acting governor term in
order TO put one over on Governor
Clement. The story will have to be put
down as delightful fiction.

The oratorically inclined in the Chi
cago convention should be reminded
that it took just 26 words to nominate
Abraham Lincoln in the first Repubi-
can convention go years ago. Similar
brevity might be as successful in the
present convention. II is too often the
case, however, that those who indulge
in heavy verbiage do so for the purpose
Of covering up the defects and defieien.
cies of the persons they are seeking
votes for. With all the other time max
ing features of the national convention
il would seem to be the part of wisdom
to make the presentation speeches
short and to the point

Low Content" Liquor.

The hope of those who look forward
to some "alleviationn of the aridity
produced by the supreme courts decis.
sion in the prohibition cases must rest
in some future Congress which may
make some change in the official defini-
tion of the term Intoxicating" So
long as Congress does not do violence to
the spirit of the 18th amendment it
has the authority to determine the al
coholic content of beverages Very
likely we shall have candidates for
Congress declaring for the raising of
the limit much above the now legal
ne-half per cent. Already we hear of
the intention at the opening of the
hole content of beer to five per cent
The most radical of the liberals ad-
init that high content" liquors are
never likely to come back, but they and
others not so radical intend to carry
on the battle for "low content" bev-
erages in Washington, and it may be
they will succeed in obtaining the le.
CALLING of liquors that contain several
times the amount of alcohol specified
in the Volstead act. Indeed, there are
many wholly high minded men and wom-
en- who believe that some such action
would be the best solution of the whole
prohibition controversy. and who af-
firmed that belief long before the com.
ing of the prohibition amendment, An.
drew d. White, former president of
Cornell and long in the diplomatic serv-
ice, was one of these. In his autohilog-
raphy he has some striking things to
say about drunkenness upon the one
hand and the use OF light wines and liq.
uors upon the other, basing his re-
marks upon his observations in foreign
countries. Boston Herald.

The new owners of the Newport
Express and Standard announce that
Charles G. Lord, formerly of Groton, is
in immediate charge of the newspaper
and its plant, being vice president and
clerk of the corporation. 1t is to be
assumed, therefore, that the new own
ers are to retain their newspaper proper
ty in Berlin, n. H., and to give it their
personal attention, Mr.. Lords friends
will be pleased over his appointement
to this responsible position and will
hope for him a large measure of sue
cess in the work.

The Springfield, Mass, Republican
calls attention to the fact that the
man who has been spanked the hardest
at Chicago is Senator George H. Moses
of New Hampshire and it is no exagger-
ton to say that he got what was com.
ing to him." Moses does seem to have
been deposed as leader, just as he
has been somewhat discredited as a
prophet.

4 One might judge from the court rec
ords that there are more short length
trout in Addison county than any
where else in the state. 1t may be,
however, that there is more vigorous
enforcement of the fish laws there than
elsewhere. OF course, it is out of the
question that Addison county people
are more lawless than their fellow
Vermonters.

HAND ON THROTTLE; BRAIN
FALLING SHORT.

The human element failed again in
the case of the train wreck on the
New York Central railroad near Sche-
nectady in the early hours of June a.
that element failing to take notice OF
the signals prepared for guidance OF
the oncoming train when an accommo-
dation train was halted to make minor
repairs. The brain that controlled the
throttle of the rushing locomotive did
not take cognizance Of the warning
fash far down the track, nor again
when the agency for providing that
flash was hurled into the cab as the
engine went by. Still the hand Of the
engineer was grasping the throttle
when his body was removed from the
vreckage, indicating that the engineer
must have been at his post OF duty
even though he failed to note the signal
which would have told him of danger
ahead 1t is probable, therefore, that
the engineer was going through tenn
porary pepiod OF released alertness,
such as may come to almost any hu-
man being unless resisted with great
will power. The wreck shows that
though We may provide our railroad
system with all sorts of mechanical
d,vices for the safeguarding of traffic
there is still something lacking if the
human element is not of the type pc
culiarly adapted to the needs of the
occupation.
