EUGENICs AND EDUCATION.

Luther Burbank is said to believe that
much the same results can be obtained
with the human race that he has OBJ
tanned in his work with flowers and
vegetables. This is not surprising be-
lief. for eugenics theorists have been
studying the possibilities for years. They
can point, for example, to the successful
breeding of increasingly fine grades of
live stock.
1t is perfectly possible that in time
a race of men might be produced every
individual of which would be of a GER
tain height and weight aud standard of
health. But is it the most important
achievement desired for the human race
Would it not be better to produce a
race of men who, regardless of stature
or physical beauty were sound of body,
of mind and of ideals, men who under
stood the value of life and the art of
living, who practiced cooperation for
constructive work instead of vaguely be-
lieving in it?
This end may be harder to achieve,
but it is not unattainable. 1t is the end
toward which the best thinking and best
education of the day are already work
ing.

DANGEROUS AUTO RACING.

When the nation has succeeded in Sc
curing legislation to regulate stunt and
exhibit flying in congested territory or
near to crowds, it might turn it's atten-
ton to the control of automobile racing
in similar surroundings.
In the races at Kansas City recently
one driver was killed and several more
were injured. 1t happened that no on
lockers were hurt, although one car
jumped the barrier and burst into
flames. the driver being burned to death
before aid could reach him. 1t has hap
pened more than once at similar events
in many localities that onlookers as well
as drivers have been killed or injured
when the racing cars crashed into
crowds.
Speed tests may be a necessary fea-
ture of automobile manufacture, but they
could be confined to proper surroundings
and made under restrictions looking to
the common safety.

Nine Years for Auto Theft.
burlington Free Press

Judge H. B. Chase is deserving of
hearty commendation by all thinking
people for imposing in Windham county
court a sentence of not less than nine
years nor more than ten years for auto
theft. With this impressive sort of JUS
tiee dispensed generally the business of
stealing autos in Vermont and selling
them in the larger cities will cease
abruptly
1t is worthy of recalling in this con-
nectiOn that the crime of DEMONSTRATING
was made a capital offence on the
sparsely settled western frontier when
courts were conducted by citizens.
Death was more certain for the horse
thief than for the man who shot down
neighbor in cold blood. A fundamen-
tai principle that might not at ( first
thought appear in this connection was
involved. The horse there represented
the only mode of rapid transit. The
man who stole a horse could cover up
other crimes and make his getaway.
The auto is to modern crime what the
horse was on the frontier. 1t enables
men to murder and burglarize and rob
and escape rapidly into the night. In
most localities the auto has become the
chief unit of transportation. Its theft
means far more than stealing the same
amount of money, for it encourages
crime in general.
The confirmed auto thief is thus us
ually an all round criminal, and the
only safety of society is to eXterminate
him in effect by stern and sure justice.
Vermont rid itself of pickpockets by
making dipping" a dangerous occupa-
ton IF we all cooperate with Judge
Chase and carry out the spirit he eXem-
plifed. auto stealing in Vermont will
also become thoroughly unpopular with
criminals and other crimes Will incl
dentally be materially checked.

Edward l. Edwards, who * unonnosed
for the Democratic nomination for
United States senator in the New .Jer-
sey primaries today. is the present gov
ernor OF the state. Born in Jersey City
in 1868, he studied law for a while after
leaving college. but eventually gave it
up to accept a position-in a bank in his
native place. His banking experience
gave him an exceptional knowledge of
taxation problems. and after some wears
he became associated with the state tax
alton commission. He gave up this post
IN 1908 TO return to banking and before
his fiftieth wear he had become president
Of the institution in which he had found
his first employment. In 1912 Mr.. Ed
wards was made state controller of the
treasury. He retired in 1917. and in
the following wear was elected to the
state senate. He was elected governor
in 1919 on a personal liberty issue.

The Master Horseshoers' Protective
association in convention at Philadelphia
declared it to be next to impossible to
get young men to serve as apprentices
in the horseshoeing business. They say
there has never been such a demand for
horses now that experts have shown
that horsepower is cheaper for short
haul work than auto-power and that
every large city shows an increase in
number of horses in the past year. This
seems to show that the horse has not
had his day. after all, but the young
man, evidently, prefers a garage to a
blacksmith shop.

No Indictment.

No indictment was returned in the

with the well-founded conviction that
something ought to be done. and done

mont track is one of the most travelled
roads in the state. The approaches to
the crossing are about as blind as there
are in the state. The record of deaths

Nothing to Administer.

The idea of a fuel administration as
it exists in the towns of the state at
present verges on the ridiculous. Here
they area group of carefully selected
men with no fuel to distribute. nothing
to administer and no power to act any
way except in an advisory capacity.
That is to say. all they can do is to ad-
wise people to keep cool. and they are
brave men if they dare to do that with
the frosts of autumn near at hand and
no coal in sight.
