Public Sentiment and Good Roads

(Stanstead, P. O., JournaD
The Reporter of Springfield con-
tinues to ozark at the moon," but that
luminary or reflector of light moves
on undisturbed. 1t pays the Orleans
County Monitor the compliment OF
being the "mouthpiece of the former
Highway Commissioner Bates" In
the Reporters perpetual editorials on
the roads of Windsor County, there is
quite little Of the spirit that comes
from liver that functions badly. Ii
Orleans County had the roads the
Reporter claims for Windsor County
we would shut off the publicity splg-
got, call the selectmen, highway com
missioners of state, county and each
town in the county together and get
somewhere. Evidently public opinion
in Windsor County is asleep at It's
post on the highway problem, If what
the Reporter reports is reliable.
Scolding about Orleans County hav-
ing better roads than Windsor County
and tweaking the ear of the. former
commissioners is waste of tine, ink
and wood pulp. This kind Of thing
will not build an inch of highway. 1t
initiates against all efficiency.

The scheme to standardize rural
schools as outlined by special COM
mittee of the Vermont Woman
Teachers club of which committee
Miss Bertha Field of Orleans is a
valued member, has many things to
commend it. The plan attempts to
bring buildings and grounds, equip
ment, teacher, pupil ard the commun-
ity into closer touch with each other,
bring about standard requirements
with recognition from the state board
of education when such standards are
met Anything that will bring the
parents and people of our commun-
tiles to the school, that will bring
about closer touch between teacher,
pupil and parent and emphasize the
needs in the way of buildings, grounds
and equiment is destined to do some
thing worth while for rural schools.

tons of the country, in this state

tons of the country, in this state
perhaps.
Are not these hold-ups and "sei-
cures" of contraband liquor the work
solely of the tribe of "dog eat dog 2"
From reports at other points along
the northern border than in Vermont
it is apparent that smugglers of Hq-
uor are being duped by those who pose
as revenue officers. The stories OF
cargoes of booze being stolen read
pretty much alike. In the majority
of cases party Of men get wind of
the fast that one or more of their
same llk are to bring load OF liquor
from Canada into this country and it
matching of wits. AS the Messenger
says in such cases "there is no cause
for regret as to results.
From what we learn in newspaper
reports of these hold-ups, the Herald
is not inclined to believe that there is
going to be general terrorizing of
the communities along the border by
highwaymen during the summer.
Isn't it fairly good assumption that
the men who pose as government
agents are bootleggers who do not en-
gage in any other business and who
know what motor cars to hold up and
who are extremely careful not to an
noy those not engaged in smuggling :?
If this assumption is correct is
there particular reason to believe that
yeggs and other types of criminals
are to take advantage of the situa-
ton and locate in Vermont as high
waymen? The sheriffs along the
Vermont Canada border are bound to
make that territory unhealthy for
highwaymen but these state officers
have not the resources necessary to
patrol all of the roads in lookout for
smugglers. The federal government
has men supposed to be clever enough
to capture smugglers and when the
latter get into the country and fall
victims to their own kind there has
been, to a certain extent, an enforce
ment of the laws against smuggling.
The smuggler loses his liquor, and
sometimes his motor car. Who cares.
Despite these reports of men i'm
personating revenue officers, are
those who live in the northern tier
of counties in Vermont really afraid
to use the highways nights lest they
be held up?

One or two papers closest to the
Vermont administra ton have been
poking fun at Benjamin Gates. First
because he questioned the legality of
the bills signed after the adjournment
of the legislature and now because he
speaks of ''joker" in the so called
slump sum" salary bill. The caution
exhibited by state officials in the first
instance appears to this paper like
good judgement, and the omission of
comma in the salary bill, making
it read "$400 and 20 cents per mile
for traveP' instead of "$400, and 20
cents per mile for travel" and the
mere calling attention to the joke
hardly needs to bring down the wrath
of a state administration of its
spokesman.

PRESSCLIPPINGS

From the opening day when Cover
nor Hartness delivered his meaning
less salutatory to the closing day
when he declared in the House that he
chad had the time of his life," there
was absolute absence, as far as the
executive department. was concerned
of anything in the way of a construct
i've policy or indication of necessary
remedial legislation. Not only die
the much heralded "plan of progress
fail to materialize, but no plan of any
kind, or part of plan was in evid-
ence.
The executive department was up
in the air throughout the session and
the first sign of a purpose to return
to earth was the administrative
measure introduced in the closing days
to provide aviation landing fields at
convenient points in the state.

How searchIight Is Tested.

The searchlights made use of IL
warfare and for few other purposes
are put to "a severe test before they
are regarded as completed. Elaborate
instruments are used to measure the
intensity of the beam, but it's diameter
is measured by an immense eyard
stick" located 1900 yards away from
the light. A long narrow stretch of
lumber supported on trestles has III
visions at regular intervals just like
those of the measuring stick, and
when the beam is directed at this
structure. Il is easy to measure the
diameter. In a small house at one
end is photometer, by which the IN
fensity of the light may be measured
at any point.

Asbestos Corporation of Boston with
a capital of more than $250,0OO and
assets of over $1,OOO,OOO. It is sur
missed that this concern has some con-

that the corporation will make new
