Nye was, therefore, forced 10 face the
probability Of the trial Of the case where
hs had expected plea Of guilty. Blixt
made no explanation Of his action and
the state asked none.
The defense Of Blixt will be on the plea

nnnn ROADS

The Philadelphia Times offers the
suggestion to those who are making
literature on the subject of good roads
that few specimens Of good roads IN
as many localities as possible would do
more to help the cause than great many
speeches. because they would afford
object lessons o. the economy OF good
roads. Millions of words have been
written by the friends Of good roads
and printed in newspapers, books and
pamphlets, aud yet the roads are not
improved. The Ttmes summarizes the
road condition 10 the Northern States
when IL says:
The roads remain as impossible as ever,
and those who drive over them would VIII
Iuglv get along with less literature on the
subject fl signs of practical improvement
10 the roads were multiplying 4 Few
miles OF experimental highways have been
constructed under tho New Jer,
sew road law, little gOOd
road building has been done m
Montgomery county OF this State, and the
town of Cauaudaigua, New York, has con
structed few miles of stone road which
may be truthfullv called good. With these
few exceptions the roads Of the Northern
States 10 not show much signs OF improve
meat as a result Of the recent agitation.
The same may be said Of West Vir-
giuia, where after years OF talk the
roads are just as impossible to-day as
they we're years ago. While mem oers
OF the Legislature are being nominated
through the State the subject of road
improvements might be considered by
the people.
Men should be selected who will pledge
themselves TO do what they can in the
Legislature for the Improvement Of the
roads Of West Virginia. There ha:
been enough literature and talk, II
is time TO act.
