HIGHWAY MANAGEMENT

The st. Adams Messenger thinks it
has discovered the real issue of the po-
litical campaign now supposed to be in
progress in Vermont 1t isn't economy,
because in the opinion of The Messen-
ger there isn't much of an issue in that
proposition it is the administration of
the highway department. few men,
in the opinion OF the Franklin county
contemporary, are making a quiet but
deliberate effort to control the next leg
islature with a view to abolishing the
present state highway commission
which Governor Hardness brought into
being and to substitute the one-man
plan which was formerly in effect.
Now the Messenger avows it has no
hostility to the one-man plan itself, ex-
cept that it has outlived its usefulness.
1t thinks the highway department too
big for one man to handle that special
lists are required on the job, and further
argues that while such trimmings mean
more overhead expense they also mean
more good roads-per dollar of the tax
payers, money.
The Reformer is inclined to agree with
The Messenger that highway depart
ment administration is one of the issues
in the present campaign, but it does not
believe that any particular group of
men is trying to put something over on
the people of the state in this connec-
ton.
In this part of the state there is plenty
of open talk about the highway depart
ment Nobody has to go behind a barn
to hear it said that it is so loaded down
with map-makers and other experts that
it overfows into the capitol corridors
and makes necessary the printing of sew
eral extra menus at the Pavilion hotel.
General opinion, talked right out in the
open. is that the department with all its
trimmings isn't doing any more for the
roads than Stod Bates, with all his
shortcomings, succeeded in doing. You
can't make one man in a hundred in this
corner of Vermont believe that the pres
ent highway administration is getting
more road per dollar of expenditure than
the previous one And Furthermore, The
Reformer doesn't believe anybody can
produce actual figures to prove such an
4
assertion.
The principal reason for the excessive
/ cost of state government is the existence
| of elaborate governmental machinery,
which theoretically is very valuable but
| actually is more expensive than the
state can afford. Not until some radical
i simplifcation is brought about will it be
possible to effect any great saving. The
| Reformer looks upon the present state
| highway commission as one of the things
! that ought to get the axe" in the course
of such simplifcation. 1t agrees with
/ The Messenger, therefore, that voters
ought to inform themselves as to the
views of legislative candidates on this
question, although not exactly for the
same reason as The Messenger advances.

A Brave Act as Related.
BARRE Times.)

We second the motion to give a Car
negie medal to little 13-year-old Helen
Dorr of Brattleboro who, while on a
visit to Lancaster, \. H., saved three
year-Old boy in her party from death be-
meath the wheels of n Maine Central rail
road freight train. The little boy had be-
come separated from his playmates antl
was finally seen sitting ons the railroad
track and some distance away from the
house. At the same time the screech of
the locomotive whistle was heard. lmme-
diately sensing the danger, little Helen
Dorr was the first to respond and she
rushed through barn, vaulted fence
and raced to the track, just getting there
and hauling the little tot from harm as
the great wheels of the locomotive ground
by, the engineer in the meantime having
pressed on the brakes and having reduced
the speed of his train somewhat 1t
seemed, however, to trainmen and specta-
tors that the brave girl and her precious
burden would be drawn under the wheels
and sigh of relief went up from all
when they saw the girl carrying the boy
away from the track. Such presence of
mind coupled with such courage, deserves
the highest commentator, and, undoubt
eddy, a Carnegie medal.

CURED BIZ NATIVE HERB

On board a vessel bound for India
recently a man was bitten by poisonous
reptile: both the ship doctor and fam
GUS surgeon failed to control the poison
fast spreading through his system.
In a day the vessel reached port. An
Indian medicine mea was sent for, who
produced native herb which quickly al
layed the poison and the mans life was
saved.
Roots and herbs are natures assistants
in combating disease. That ell-known
medicine for ailments peculiar to women,
Lydia r. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
is prepared from roots and herbs, possess
ing medicinal properties of great value
in the treatment of such ailments.
This is proved by the letters of recon-
mendation we are continually publishing
in this paper for it.-AdTertisment.

three or four summers ago. The county
prosecutor, on complaint, has forbidden
Sunday baseball the players have con-
tinued to play and have been arrested !;
they have very naturally rctaliated by
pointing out the law breaking golfers,
and these have been notified that golf on
the SABBATH viii no longer be tolerated
by those whose duty it is to enforce the
law. 1t remains to be seen whether the
golf players will defy the law as the ball
players did, and what will happen to the
latter who are to go on trial next Mon
day.
T I Happily. as The, MeddIer views it,
such a situation is no longer possible
in Vermont, thanks to the passage of
the Durham Sunday law at the last ses-
sion of the legislature. Here in Brat
tleboro, for example, there is Sunday
golf and Sunday baseball but both are
conducted in a way to which no reason
able person ought to take exception. In
fact, an officer in one of the local evan
gelical churches who attended last Sun
days contest on the fair grounds is au-
thority for the statement that it was
''as decorous as a prayer meeting" The
one thing that believers in reasonable
Sunday observance should watch out
for is an attempt to repeal the law at
the next legislative session. That there
viii be such an attempt is more than
probable, although it will stand little
success if the matter is hn ndlpd nrOperly
Speaking of the Durham Sunday law
brings to mind the county political sit
uation for the reason that there seems
to be an increasing sentiment in favor
of renominating MIR. Durham as senator.
With two candidates from the north end
of the county in the field, the situation
in the lower tier of towns remains unset
tied Several names have been men
toned, including Otis Amidon of Hall
fax. Ernest Dunklee of Vernon, Adm
Miller of ,Dummerston and Merton Bar
Der of Wilmington, but it is doubtful
whether any of these would want to run
against Mr. Durham, who hasn't said
he wouldn't accept denomination even
though he is known to be averse to max
ing a fight for it. OF all the available
candidates Mr.. Durham is best fitted by
previous legislative experience to serve
the state, having had two terms in the
important still, he hasn't any political
axes to grind or any pet measures 20

ACTION IN COAL STRIKE

1t is unfortunate that efforts to settle
the coal strike were not started when
the strike itself was started-or indeed,
before that. Operators and miners have
been stubborn, and until lately the pub
lie has been apathetic, and the govern
ment. rightly or wrongly, has felt itself
justified in intervening only as last
resort. Now it is evident to everybody
that there must be action.

elapsed, there might have been worked

The MeddLe7-
eff the coat fits you, put II on"


The Meddler wrote brief and mild
paragraph last week on the growth of
automobile traffic and need of stricter
regulations to govern the increasing
number of drivers. One result of the
item was the positive assertion of an
acquaintance that, it wasn't half strong
enough to cover the local situation.
why don't you come out and tell the
truth about the way automobile laws are
defied in this town. said this person.
we have village regulation prohibit
ing the use of muller cut-outs but there
is hardly night when it isn't violated
from six to 20 times on Western avenue
alone. We have parking rules for the
business section but they are carelessly
observed, and when you ask a police
officer why he doesn't enforce the avs
more strictly he shakes his head and
makes a reply which gives the impression
that if he did he wouldn't get any back
ing up from the folks higher up. It's
joke, the way automobile traffic is
handled in this town, and you ought to
, come out and say so"
The Meddler is inclined to think that
the foregoing quotation somewhat over
states the situation locally, although it
is unquestionably true that the cutout
ordinance is too frequently ignored and
traffic on Main street might be better
handled. The difficulties of traffic regu-
lation, however, are not peculiar to
Brattleboro. Every town is having them.
and new rules are continually necessary
to keep pace with the situation. Up in
Barre, for example, the aldermen have
just voted to mark all cross-walk loca-
tions on Main street in the hope of pre-
venting what they term jay walking"
and have forbidden parking within 80
feet of all street corners.
