The welcome assurance is received by
the editor of the Free Press that United
States Senator Carroll S. Page is rapidly
recovering his health under the invigorat-
ing effects of Vermonts bracing climate,
and he hopes to return to Washington in
the not distant future. Senator Page
was in Burlington a couple of days and
he is now including in his routine at
Hyde Park daily entertainment by moving
mixtures
There is not a man in Vermont who is
inclined to try to buck Senator Page off
the senatorial bridge. The great mass of
our people want him to complete his SER
vice unmolested. but they are inclined to
resent any effort on the part of others to
get in front of Congressman Greene In the
senatorial waiting list. Congressman
Greene. by the way, has shown the most
delicate appreciation of the eternal fitness
of things in connection with the situation.
He has not felt called upon to rush into
print, and Senator Page knows he is in
no hurry to don the senatorial toga. The
'Situation is reassuring on every hand, now
that Senator Page is rapidly recovering
his health

PLEASE DRIVE REASONABLY.

What is reasonable driving? There
are a great many motorists who drive
most unreasonably, carelessly and selfish
Iy. hurtling through city, village or open
country with no regard whatever for any
other persons or vehicles save their own
and not even for themselves, as many
bad accident proves.
There are also a great many motor
ists-snd perhaps they may even be in
the majority-who do drive reasonably,
following traffic regulations, showing
courtesy and consideration toward other
users of the highway, and maintaining a
speed which is neither a menace nor an
offense to the community through which
they pass.
1t is a question of how far arbitrary
speed limits affect either class of drivers
Certainly the reckless motorist pays no
attention at all to such a warning sign
as greets the tourist in most of the small
towns of the United States: Welcome.
Speed Limit, s Miles" Even the con
Slderate driver, II there Is clear road,
is very likely to continue on his way
at - to 20 miles per hour.
a current magazine suggests to the vii
lagos all through the country, IF your
town fiaunts a painted incentive to crime
like the above-pull it down." As a
change it suggests something like this
Welcome. Please Drive Reasonably"
In that case, again, the needless driver
may proceed at his own pleasure, but
he is likely to weaken and to treat that
town better than most. The ordinarily
courteous driver will do better yet. buy
ing gas and oil even if he doesn't need
them, admiring the town and probably
advertising it generously among his
friends as a regular place, both sensible
and attractive.

THE PROHIBITION JOKE.

Roy A. Haynes, the new federal pro-
hibition commissioner, wants the public
to stop making a joke of prohibition. In
his first public statement he says:
l appeal especially to the editorial and
news writer, to the cartoonist, to the re-
porter, to the scenario writer. to the
playwright, to lend every aid to law en-
forcement. The editorial, the cartoon,
the news story, the film or the legitimate
play, which has in it the direct statement
or inferential suggestion that the dry
program is easily violated-that is a
ioke-is not only harmful in the warp
ing of sentiment against the enforcement
of this one law, but obviously leads to
an unfair and unfortunate attitude to-
ward laws generally.
Possibly Commissioner Haynes exag-
gerates this joke evil, and fails to make
lean characteristic 1t is the American
way to jest with serious things. Kip
ling observed this quality when, in char
acterizing ''An American. he referred to
'the cynic devil in his blood which even
bids him mock his hurrying soul"
The fact that an American cracks
jokes about anything does not necessarily
mean tnat ne rs not serious ABOUT IL, or
even respectful toward it. Americans
jest about religion without being ire
igious. During the war there was an
infinite amount of joking about the
meatless' and ''wheatless' days and
other aspects of war privation, while the
public was taking them seriously all the
time. Many, perhaps most, of the prohi-
bition jokes are originated or repeated
by people who are sincerely in sympathy
with prohibition
1t may be, however, that all this jest
ing does harm by, exerting undue infiu-
enee on light and susceptible minds. 1t
is well, therefore, to keep the commits
sionerS warning in mind, and not go to
an extreme in the matter,

MAN HUNT AT KEENE.
Seek Charles Champney Who Attempted
TO Shoot Wife.

KEENE. n. H.. July Charles
Champney. farmer, who fired two shots
at his former wife on q farm here Wednes-
day morning, is still at large.
He fed to the woods following his act.
Though a posse of men and boys has
searched the district night and day no
trace of him could be found.
Search will be continued. The theory
has been advanced that he may have com
mitted suicide by drowning in one of the
many lakes in the vicinity of Rindge.
Champney is said to have possessed a
vicious temper and always jealous of
his wife. 1t is said that he had trouble
with his wife on various occasions and
she left him, but each time he had induced
her to return and live with him.
1t was % years ago he attempted to
kill his first wife with a 32-calibre revol-
yer. One bullet struck her in the neck
and a second in the back of the head, but
they did not prove fatal. After shooting
her he turned the gun on himself, the bull
let entering his forehead. He now bears

wound

Mr.. Langlois. who is a moulder en-
ployed by the Backus Heater company
in Brandon, returned from his work to
Rutland last evening about o'clock. He
keeps his car in the garage of Ernest
lie Blanc on Baxter street. He drove
his Ford ear into the driveway which is
on the north side of the house intending
to stop in front of the garage which is
in the rear. He evidently lost control and
could not stop. As he neared the garage
door he turned the car south and before
he could regain control, the machine trav-
eled south about 60 feet and went head
on over a 10-fOOt embankment into the
Tenny brook. The car turned turtle and
Mr.. Langlois was pinned beneath the
machine. The water was only about eight
or 10 inches deep.

County Highway Supervisor Coombs
evidently has put his finger on one of the
causes for the comparatively poor roads
in portions of this territory. He says the
trouble is twofold: A disposition of
town road officials to postpone state work
until late in the season, and unwilling
ness to allow the work to be done by out
side labor If Windham county road COM
missioners have actually acquired these
bad habits is it high time they were rec
tilted. There is no doubt that Windham
county's roads as a whole suffer in COM
parison with those of the rest of the
state and complaint has frequently been
made that this corner of Vermont did not
get its share of state road funds. How
ever, if town road officials have been
adopting the tactics Supervisor COombs
mentions it is easy to see why the state
funds have been going in other directions.

ATTEMPT JAIL DELIVERY.
Three Foreigners Nearly Saw Their Way

ST. ALBANS, July An attempt
by prisoners to break out of the Franklin
county jail was discovered yesterday
morning by Sher George p. Cstlin as he
was going through the corridors between
the cells and the outside windows on the
first floor of the jail. He discovered a
piece of white string tied to one of the
bars. When he tried to pull the piece of
string eff. an iron bar fell out. Upon ex-
animation he found the next bar had also
been tempered with and had been cut
practically all the way through,
Sheriff Catlin said that the attempt to
break Jail was made by three men who
have been in custody for the last three
months They are charged with entering
the country illegally and are awaiting de
portation proceedings by the immigration
department.
Sheriff Catlin searched the mems be-
Iongings and discovered hidden in q blan-
ket a small knife in which teeth like saw
had been ingeniouSly cut. Two other
pieces of iron which had come from an
old moving machine were also found.
