Matthews was credited with a
lucky hit. and Hunt drove out a
ball to left field, that co-operation
between Tryon and Kennison
should have converted into an out.
Both out-fielders sprinted for the

not feared colliding with Kenni-

Fisk added a home-run to hi

he waited the ball past Benny Try

Fisk stretched a sure double into

The New York pOstoffce is resuming
the use of pneumatic tubes to dispatch
mail underground, after having discard
ed them three years ago. The object is
the expedition of the mail. which is sub
ject to much delay when handled in the
usual way. 4 New York pa
per suggests that the Guy gains as much
in traffic relief by getting 80 mail trucks
off the streets as it does by the increased
speed of the mail.
Street traffic is becoming a serious
problem everywhere The small town has
to wrestle with it. just as the metropolis
does. The multiplication of automobiles
and trucks has gone ahead faster than
anybody could have expected, and faster
than the communities could handle the
situation. Some cities are fortunate
enough to have been laid out originally
on liberal plan. with wide main thor
oughfares. They have comparatively lit
tie trouble. Others, with narrow bust
expedients to keep traffic moving and
avoid sitting their business activity by
clogged transportation.
The problem is being solved. little by
little. Order is coming out of chaos. Elk
! perience and bold innovations are show
ing the way Still there is much to be
learned about the relation of street width
to volume of traffic, and the best ways
to direct vehicle traffic and park cars
and route trolleys and lay out thorough
fares and handle pedestrians
We may have doubledecked streets,
or triple decked ones, sooner or later,
Also we may have sidewalks running
falong buildings high up in the air, and
underground. And before the automobile
Iproblem is solved, there will be the new
air traffic problems to reckon with, to in
sure the safe, efficient routing and park
ing of planes.

THE ILLINOIS BOURBON

Upon advice of his attorneys, Gov.
Small of Illinois refuses to submit to
arrest. He says he is immune from ar
rest and prosecution during his term. 1t
is quite possible that this point can be
sustained The man under fire who
wants to stand on legal technicality can
usually find technicality to stand on.
But if any man under fire wishes to
give an appearance of guilt, there is no
surer way to it than by adopting the pro
eedure Gov. Small has adopted. 1t is
usually the way of an innocent man to
court investigation of his acts, partic-
ularly those performed during his oc-
cupancy of public Office. Tie man who
wants public confidence in himself and
popularity for himself is likely to say
under such circumstances. There are the
books and records-gO right to it and find
out anything you like. I'll help YOU
all I can in any way to secure informa-
ton" This attitude is in itself disarm-
ing 1t creates popular belief in limo
cence. at the very least.
Whether or not Gov. Small is guilty
of the charges of conspiracy and en-
| bezzlement brought against him. his at
titude has been short-sighted in the ex-
treme.. The American people do not sit
quietly under such a kaiseristic king

commenting OH this situation. Editor
Wheeler of the NergenneS Enterprise and
Nermonter SAYS The Free Press puts its
finger on the weak spot in the execution
of Vermont criminal law. CnquestiOnably
many cases are disposed of in court by
sending offenders to NergenneS who have
no business there. In some cases it is
probably done because it is easier to dis
pose of them i'm that way. Youths are sent
TO this institution who have no business
there, and il taxes the ingenuity of the
management to deal with them properly,
and at the same time give the innocent
children at the school a fair deal \ re-
form along this line is long overdue. NJ
the same time the Free Press might look
into the matter further with view OF
finding out why it is that the number OF
cases committed to the various state in
situations from Chittenden county Is
greatly out of proportion tG its popula-
ton
We are glad that our NergenneS Neigh
Dor has mentioned these various factor
in the situation. We thoroughly be
lieve in throwing all possible light mp
on our state and other public institutions
If mistakes are being made in any uirec'
ton. either in Burlington or elsewhere

WHY FOREIGN TRADE?

Every now and again we hear the
question. Perhaps the fact that it is
raised so frequently explains why Ameri-
can foreign trade has not made more
substantial growth.
And yet it should be readily appar-
ent that a sustained and prosperous over
seas business will help directly in the
solution of the two most vexing problems
that the nation faces-labor and taxes.
So long as we do not have foreign mar
kets to absorb our surplus products. just
so long must our tax burden be borne
by internal business, and labor as a class
must be uenied the opportunity and the
reward OF maximum production. We
cannot hope for that ideal full day
work for full days pay" and the full
dinner pail that goes with it, until our
| foreign trade has provided an outlet for
the product of that work.
For half a century the nation has de
pended largely upon Great Britain for
the distribution and sale of our surplus
and for the transportation to our shores
| of what we require from abroad.' Today
as matter of self-protection in the
business way, we must have machinery
for the conduct of our trading which is
suited to the work we have to do.

Base Ball Running ON High

Baseball is hitting the high spots in
northern Vermont when a crowd of 1000
people will turn out to see game, as
they did at Newport one day recently

of varsity players from Dartmouth col

a fast pace that there is danger Of repe-
tition of disastrous financial results such
as the old Northern league experienced
when it began to supplement its already
highly paid college men with vacationists
from the major leagues. The st. Johns
bury team had a pitcher in the recent
game who once represented Philadelphia
in the American league. The promoters
cannot expect to have a crowd of 1000
every day. rain or shine; and crowd
of such ample proportions must be nee
essary in order to make both ends meet.

THREE ESCAPE JAIL
Other Prisoners Refuse to Walk Out

L1TCHFIELD, Conn, July 26.-
Three prisoners escaped from the Itch
field county Jail here yesterday. A posse
of deputy sheriffs last night was in pur-
suit of the fugitives, who were believed
to be heading for the Massachusetts line
= The men who escaped are Robert Bailey
and Ferdinand Rapp of Canaan, and
Charles Murphy of Winsted. Bailey and
Rapp were prisoners awaiting trial before
the superior court, and Murphy was serv-
ing a sentence for stealing.
The~~men. with about e12 or II other
prisoners, were in the workroom of the
Jail late yesterday when they unlocked one
door and cut the castings of two others,
opening the way to freedom. The other
prisoners refused to join them and waited
five or ten minutes before giving the
alarm.

SmuggIerS. Not Pirates
80. AIbans NIessengerl


Just because il has developed that
ships are engaged in efforts TO smuggle
liquor into this country no one should
be surprised. When there is a demand
for a commodity there will always be
those who will seek 20 furnish the supply.
Likewise. smuggling is as old as govern
mentS. Who has not read with more or
less tingle of nerves, of the wine and
rum Smugglers on the British coasts in
past centuries? Such episodes are com
anon To the novels of the past periods.
Evading the payment of taxes was the
motive then: today there is the added
motive of prohibition which puts sTill
higher premium on the liquor successfully
landed. And human nature is not 50
very much different than it was back i'm
the days Scott writes about. Today :
smugglers may not be such Il picturesque
person as was the rum-runner of the 18th
century. but it may be that the 18th cen
fury did not consider the product of ITS
day picturesque. Your old squire thought
his Burgundy which had been Struggled
tasted just little sweeter than that
which had paid duty. The modern man
knows that his Struggled whiskey tastes
infinitely better than the moonshine man
ufactured over night. 1t is safer. also.
Just in passing it might be suggested that
the smuggler is not a cause; he is an
effect.
