The increasing number of minor auto
mobile accidents hereabouts is an index
of the increasing number of automobiles.
if such were needed in addition to the
daily demonstration OF the growth of
motor travel. Where the point of sat
uration Is nobody can foretell, but al
most anyone can figure out that if the
number of automobile drivers increases
during the next year or two as it has
this year and last the problem of traffic
regulation and highway maintenance
will be among the largest with which we
have to contend. Here in Brattleboro
there is altogether too much careless
ness in the use of motor vehicles, al
though the situation probably is no worse
than in almost any Vermont town of the
same size. One thing which officials of
the department should bear in mind is
that motor car operators require a
greater amount of skill as the number
of machines increases, and on that ac-
count they should gradually but steadily
advance the requirements necessary to
secure a drivers license. The same
idea applies to traffic regulation. What
We're adequate rules two seasons ago are
scarcely strict enough now.

Yermont's gypsy visitors are finding
Vermont very inhospitable state this
summer, which is due to the fact that
the gypSies have outlived their welcome
and made themselves outrageously
nuisance. The authorities in the cities
and villages have taken up the right
course in sending the wanderers along
without permitting them chance to
work out their schemes and commit their
bold depredatiOns. Moreover. when the
thieving gang has got in some of its
work some individual has been forced
to make restitution. which is contrary
to precedent in gypsy land. Let the
good work go on; shove the gypsies

In what promises to be lean year in the
tourist line, on which they are very
largely dependent.
As far as the effects of the prolonged
rain are concerned, everyone has suf-
fered more or less. When a month that
can be as glorious as June knows how
to be elapses with a record of but three
clear days the situation deserves more
than passing notice. Aside from dam
age to dispositions in general, the abnor-
NAL precipitation has had bad effect on
crops throughout New England. To-
bacco plantations along the Connecticut
valley report the loss of thousands of
plants which have been beaten down by
the heavy rains. Fruit trees in some
sections have been stripped by combin-
alton of rain and high wind. Truck
gardens in many localities are having diff
ticulty in surviving. A bountiful hay
crop is promised-if the weather stays
settled long enough to allow the farmers
TO cut it.
One who has had occasion lately to
make frequent visits to the local station
has inquired of The Meddler in this
fashion; What's the idea in having
three perfectly good central doors to the
station and yet keeping two of the three
locked continually? There are times. as
l observed on the Fourth, when a num-
Der of people are coming and going at
one time and instead of having easy ac-
cess to and exit from the station by three
doors a line has to form to get in and
out of the one door that is left unlocked.
Aside from the need of having all doors
open at few rush periods it is a con
slant source of small annoyance to trav-
elers to have them locked even at quiet
hours. | have seen many strangers in
town vexed, in the same manner as my
self, by seeking entrance or exit at the
doors, only to find them locked and then
going from l to ? and finally TO No. 3
before getting through. And | dare say
they all mentally. if not audibly, regis
ter the query: What's the idea, any
how?" On the face of this evidence
The Meddler is of the opinion that some
body ought to unlock the station doors
and throw away the key.

According to resident of Bennington
the summer tourist business in that part
of the state is suffering greatly this sea-
son on account of the prolonged rain
and the fact that many persons of the
leisure class who heretofore have spent
their summers in Bennington, Manches-
ter or the country between are this year
flocking abroad. One Manchester hotel,
it is said, prepared for the season by en-
gaging 200 employees and for several
weeks had only score of guests
Whether or not this be true, it is not inn
probable that falling off in tourists
interest in Vermont is due as much to the
attractive wetness of European shores
as to the uncomfortable dampness of the
state itself. Doubtless Bennington and
Manchester are not alone in their suffer-
ing yet they are deserving of sympathy

In accord with the best tradition OF
the American spirit of religious toler-
alton, there were included in the Vol
stead act. certain generous provisions,
which permitted the use of fermentcd
wines for sacramento purposes for
such groups as eonscientiously believe
in the use of spurious wines for re
ligious rites. A number of restric-
tons were devised to safeguard the
sale of these wines; but as matter
OF fact the greatest safeguard should
have been the spirit of appreciation
and honor among those who were
thus recognized ir matters of con
science.
1t is more than to be regretted. it
must be absolutely condemned, that
these generous provisions have been
outrageously violated, and that by
