DEATHS BY AUTOMOBILES.

The Spectator, an insurance journal
of high standing, after making an anal
ysis of the accident mortality for the
past thirteen years says that the auto
mobile alone of all means of public trans
port continues to be an increasing men
ace to human life. Automobile accidents
began to be reported by the census of
fee in 1906. The census returns show
that while steam railway fatalities have
decreased from a rate per million of
population of almost 100 in 1906 and
over 1877 in 1907 to 100 in 1918; that
while street railway fatalities have de-
creased from a rate iu excess of thirty
five in 1906 and almost forty-four in
1907, to a trife under twenty-nine in
1918; and that while fatalities from all
other vehicles have decreased from a
rate Of over thirty-six in 1906 to twenty
seven in 1913, that automobile fatalities
in the same lapse of time have in
creased so rapidly as to more than off
set the reduction in mortality from all
the other vehicular highway accidents, 8"
so that the total vehicular accident ia
talities have mounted from a rate of 245
in 1906 to 253 in 1913. Moreover, ia
talities from all other kinds of accidents

4 MISTAKEN NOTION.

Samuel Gompers in an article review
ing the results of the election draws
conclusions which seem to be unwar-
ranted. To him the result appears to be
evidence of hostility to organized labor.
The formation of such an opinion is, no
doubt, a reflection of his personal opin-
ion. Mr. Gompers is unwilling to &C
cept at their due valuation the circum-
stances of the time. These are working
against certain excuses committed by a
by a certain portion of organized labor as
they are working against the eXcesses COM
mitted by some managers of industry. The
motive for these excuses in both cases
was selfshness, and to say that the pO-
litical action of the November election
was taken with any especial hostility
to any one group of people is to mistake
its purport altogether. The hating of
industry and the unemployment conse-
quent upon it proceed from natural in
fuences and not from the choice of men.
They proceed from the operation of forces
hat affect all the people alike. Mr..
Gompers sees in them only reactionary
influences.
In one sense there are reactionary in
fuences at work, but they are involun-
tary and they do not originate from a
will that is malevolent any more than
there is maIevolence in the ebb and flow
of the tides. There is in the present
economic situation that which makes for
reaction. and the disagreeable associa-
lions which Mr.. Gompers attaches to the
word would be relieved if readjustment
We're to be substituted for reaction.
1t has just been announced that the
New Haven railroad is obliged to dis
pcnSe with the services of about 10 per
cent of its employees. There is no malev-
olence towards organized labor in this
reduction. The compulsion is in the
force of circumstances. The let-up in
industry is reflected in the amount of
traffic to be handled by the New Haven
railroad, and railroads all over the coun-
try are experiencing the same sort of
reaction, which Mr.. GOmpers wrongly
ascribes to a desire to break down trade
unions. The point to be borne in mind
is that no man or group of men, no one
industry or groups of industries, escape
its consequences. 1t is reflected in all
markets, and to these markets Mr.. Comp
ers needs to look for drawing conclu-
sions, rather than to the. result of the
last election.

combined have shown substantial de
crease; the rate in 1906 was 685 and in
1913, 564, reduction of IS per cent.
This showing is ample justification for
all efforts being made to curb the reck-
less driver and to keep the automobile
traffic under control. 1t should also
awaken people to the necessity of more
stringent laws against the operation of
automobiles by persons under the infiu-
ence of liquor. Perhaps it shows the
necessity of a law making Imprisonment
for period of not less than a year the
penalty for a person convicted of oper-
ating a car while intoxicated. Certainly,
if man knew he was liable to impris-
onment for a long term, he would hes
itate about taking a drink before start
ing out with his machine-or at least
hesitate about starting out with his
machine after taking drink-and either
result would tend to make the road safer
for everybody.

A Burlington despatch says that the
public service commission is undertag-
ing an examination of the gas companies
of the state to secure information as TO
the quality of gas furnished and the

The public will not object to such ac-

have it provided that the basis for
charges to consumers should be so much
for a foot containing a standard number
of thermal units.

Rt. Rev. Peter Trimble Rowe, who to-
day rounds out a quarter of a century
of the Protestant Episcopal church, is
missionary bishop of Alaska, his do
cese extending on both sides of the Arc
tic Circle. A native of Canada. the fu-
ture bishop received his education in
Toronto and in 1880 was ordained in
the church. Service in Canada and in
upper Michigan gave him valuable prep
aration for the work which has been his
since 1895. when he was named as first
missionary bishop Of Alaska. Some idea
of the arduous nature of this work may
he had from the statement that in a
single year Bishop Rowe has travelled
10000 miles in the frozen north, making
his Journeys by boat in the short summer
and by dog team and reindeer in the win
ter.

Saturday, the Rutland high school team
demonstrated that there is at least one

that there is more than one Vermont
team that would keep Brattleboro de

has no apology to offer for it's defeat by
Rutland last Saturday. 1t is not true,
however. as the Times seems to infer,
that the local school football management
has been backward about meeting any
Vermont team. Financial as well as
geographic considerations make it nee
essary for Brattleboro to play its early
season games with nearby teams, and the
majority of these are outside the state,
but there has never been a time when
