CURRENT COMMENT
Abolishing Cells at Windsor Prison.

Steps toward the abolition Of cells
at the states prison at Windsor have
been taken in the past four months
until now So men have been transferred
to dormitories, with just two guards
on duty during that time. The dor
mitories consist OF two rooms with
single cots and with a compartment
along the walls in which each man
keeps his personal belongings. The men
are permitted TO smoke In these rooms.
As method of punishment for any
infringement of discipline a man may
be returned to cell, he may be dc.
priyed OF the privilege of attending Sat
urday movies, or he may lose his right,
to correspond with friends or to receive
visitors.
Windsor is one OF the first prisons
in New England to attempt to abolish
cells. The practice is said to have
worked out exceedingly well. The
prisoners are allowed more freedom,
are less isolated and realize that
punishmnt will be meted out to those
who fail to respect their privileges.
Cells, of course, cannot be done
away with entirely as there are always
inmates who must not be allowed to
mingle with others. But the majority
of prisoners can receive great benefit
from dormitories. 1t is forward step
in prison reform that Windsor is TAX

The automobile registration depart
ment at Montpelier continues to urge
Vermont motorists to register their
vehicles now, even though they may
not put their cars on the road before
April or May, ii they wish to secure
their registration without delay.
That's reasonable. However, there's
the income tax payment, the replenish-
ing of the coalbin, the thousand and
one smaller things, which conspire to
make people hang onto their registra-
ton dollars until the last minute, Still,
the registration bureau is right--if you
are so tarnal impetuous you can't wait
few days after the mud clears up,
why, send in your registration dollars
now and be ready to jump into your
gas buggy at the first sign Of motor.

Foote'S Announcement.

| Lieut.. Gov. Abram w. Foote, who
has been tentative candidate fof
governor during the past year, makes
a formal announcement which appears
elsewhere in this issue.
There are two rather important par
| agraphs in the announcement III an
| unqualified endorsement of the pay as
you-go policy in road building as
| against bonding for hard-surfaced
| roads. and ~ a pledge in regard to
economy.
The lieutenant governor pledges
himself, if elected, to give his entire
time and attention to the duties OF
the Office, then, if legislature is elect
ed which win support him in the eff
fort, he guarantees that there will be
no dollar state tax.
This may seem like a rather large
order, but, as The Herald has pointed
out repeatedly, the matter of taxation
lies almost entirely with the legisla.
ture. The governor may direct, lead
and use his influence. but the sover-
eign power lies with the people them
selves, through their representatives
Mr.. Foote stands on his legislative
record, which is one OF conservative,
constructive accomplishment, as he
looks at it.
He stands for the states ."contin.
ued recognition of her obligations to
World war veterans, he reiterates his
former slogan of "a farm or village
home" for every young man, he admits
''the just demands OF labor" and be-
lieyes that the incoming tide of better
business win bring that industrial de-
velopment which has so far failed to
arrive as a result of campaign pledges
in other quarters.
1t is not q particularly startling
announcement. 1t keeps away from
too explicit details in regard to va
rious more or less incandescent Is
sues in Vermont. 1t will appeal very
largely to the plain folks" on whom
the candidate must rely for his sup
port.
Apropos of the latter, the candi-
date says he has mo campaign man
ayers nor means to employ a publicity
bureau so he takes his appeal di.
rectly to the people.
Without being very enthusiastic
about the quality of craftsmanship
promised by the document, The Her
aid Is bound to admit that il makes
an appeal which, like the man him
self, Is certain to invite support.

The World war seems TO have I'M

"The Young Mems Voters Club" Il
the name of new organization in the
political life of the city Of Newport
on the northern border, and the new
organization not only has numerous
membership but it is injecting great
deal of interest into municipal affairs,
Some of the old timers are said to be
trying to throw a wet blanket over the
organization or are damning it with
faint praise, all of which is stirring
the new male voters to renewed efforts.
The crime of being young seems to pre-
vail yet in some localities.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Brattleboro Reformer, seems to have
had the scoop" of the state on the for
NAL announcement of Lieut.. Gov.
Foote that he would be a candidate
for the governorship nomination,
Lieut.. Gov. Foote's nearby newspapers
in Rutland and Burlington having
come second. 1t is rather unusual for
a west side" candidate to go over on
the Feast side" to announce it first,
but it is admitted that the Brattleboro
contemporary is good medium in
which to start something politically.

FOUR MILES A MINUTE.
(By H. H. Windsor, in the December Popular
Mechanics Magazinel

Probably the most outstanding accomplishment
at the recent aviation meet at Mt Clemens, Mich,
the fight of Lieutenant Vaughan u S. Army
pilot who broke all worlds records by flying at the
rate of four miles minute. This means 352 feet or
ordinary city block in one second-while you
count, one, two, three, four! No other human ever
travelled so fast and survived to receive the honor
maintained it would reduce the time between Chi
cago and New York to two hours, 40 minutes At
present such speed cannot be maintained to exceed
very few minutes, which would probably be the
life of any engine we have now. What develop
ments may occur in the next few years would be
hazardous to predict, though Of course there is
limit somewhere to all things made of man
While the human mind seems obsessed with any
thing which makes for speed the practical utility of
excessive rate of travel quickly reaches its lim
tation Even the cheaper type of automobiles can
occasion do 100 miles an hour, but 80 or 35 miles
is quite sufficient for all ordinary purposes Excess
siye speed is too expensive to become common; for
instance, there only few really fast trains in

ue; and these owe much of their so-called
speed to an elimination of the stops made by other

ocean liners? The records made in aut races are
Impractical in daily service. Without in any way
detracting from the glory of accomplishment in
breaking worlds records-and America holds its
full share-the public is more interested in much
less speed which can be depended on under all
conditions

DIMES AND DEVASTATION.


There is organization which has for its purpose
the rebuilding of devastated France
To secure funds with which to carry out its aims
the idea of Good Will Contest" was conceived.
Popular young ladies' gold star mothers, and
others who command votes and money are entered
as contestants
The prize is pleasure jaunt to France for con,
testants making a required score
A vote costs dime.
A portion of each dime goes to pay for the trips
to France.
The balance Of the dime, less other necessary ex-
France
1t is necessary to the success of the scheme that
there be contestants 1t also necessary that those
contestants be popular and able to command votes
Votes are synonyms for dimes.
1t is preferable that the contestants be employees
Of an organization In that way they have the vot-
ing strength of the organization behind them.
Rivalry is encouraged rivalry produces votes
votes produce dimes.
AS producer of dimes we take our hat off to this
scheme, It's good one. The aggregate will be a
vast sum of money And charity is the greatest of
all virtues
But, how many of the winning candidates would
be willing for sweet charitys sake to sacrifice the
trip and turn its cost back into the general fund
for devastated France?
AS we said BEFORE contestants are necessary to
the of the plan. If there trips there
would be no contestants No contestants-no dimes
The worst feature of the whole thing is that the
financing of the successful candidate trip to France
is done largely out Of the pay envelopes of fellow
employees, many of whom can i'll afford contribu-
ton to any cause whatever yet feel that they must
donate or lose standing with others not entirely de-
pendant upon their salaries for an existence.
And while we are on the subject what about
devastated Georgia devastated Cobb County?
The boil weevils trail is that of a destroying
army
Poverty and suffering, ignorance and misery are
all around us
this side of the Atlantic.
More funds will be needed for the alienation Of
misery right here in North Georgia this winter than
will be obtained.
And isn't it strange that vision extends across
the sea while blind to the 'gaunt faces pressed
against the pane" right here at home?

Grain Buying General,
With Uneasy Tone Erased

CHICAGO. Jan. 4.-The uneasiness
among grain traders which was so
noticeable at the close yesterday van
ished into thin air overnight and
with general buying, May wheat
opened as much as 3 cents higher,
touching Sill. There was lack
of pressure early and also some buy
ing by houses with foreign connec-
tions. Houses with Eastern connec-
tons sold on the advance and made
reaction. but at no time were prices
as low as the previous days finish
up to noon. There were strong indi-
cations of a liberal export business
under way, with sales of $1,000 BUSH
els hard winter at Omaha to the
Gulf. and some business was put
through there with 100000 bushels
Manitobas claimed at the seaboard.
Milling demand was only fair. Re-
ceipts have fallen off materially in
all sections. Some moisture was re-
ported in parts of the Southwest. but
IN sections where 1t was most needed
it was very light.
Corn and oats averaged higher
with wheat. and on lessened pres
