system employed. or We would better say
tho lack OF system. says that the first
step In the direction Of better roads Is TO
make the most Of the money that the
counties are now expanding for this pur-
pose. lie calls attention TO the fact that
the Board OF Supervisors. who handle
the road Improvement fund, and who
direct the work on public roads. arc re-
sponsible 10 no. one. That they 30 on
from year 80 year expendlng the money as
they see NJ. and that their accounts are
never inspected. lie does not believe
that the money appropriated FOR public
roads is always expended in a way TO
produce the best results, does not believe
that the people are doing the best that
can be done with the means IN hand.
We would not appear to reflect upon
the integrity OF the Board Of Supervisors
of any county, but The Times has often
and again called attention to the great
need Of the inspection system in Virginia.
We believe that every man who handles
public funds. or who discharges any pub
lie function. should be responsible TO some
one else for his acts. and should be re-
Qu.red regularly and as often as need be
TO render an account OF his stewardship.
First OF an, each county needs trained
engineer who shall supervise the work Of
road improvement. and see to it that all
such work Is done in the right way and
that the money is expended to the best
advantage. This we regard as a matter
OF prime Importance. for as our roads are
sometimes worked the money is thrown
away. After this there should be an in
spection from time TO time Of the ac-
counts. and in every instance these ac-
counts should be made public.
We do not believe that any county In
the State is beginning to appropriate as
much money for road Improvement as is
necessary to give frst-class roads, but
whether the appropriations be large or
small the people should see to It that the
money they pay is expended to the very
best advantage We repeat that we are
not making any indictment against the
Supervisors. but we do earnestly COM
mend to ahe Legislature the reforms
which We have outlined.

Whipping Post For Boys.

An exchange says, that a whip
ping post for boys who are indiffer-
ent to parental control has been
esta blished at Evansville Ind.
This seems to be one solution of
the perplexing problem of what to
do with boys who are violators of
the law, but too young to punish
otherwise or tine. If parents would
establish small sized "whipping
post" at home for these incOr-
riSibles there would be no need
of establishing such things pub
licly, or passing "Cerfew" laws,
and when ever such things become
necessity it isn't hard to tell
what kind Of parental control is
exercised. Boys, and girls too,
"go TO seed" too early these days,
and parental authority, and even
respect, is unknown in many homes.
"Home' means to many children
what the pen is to the pig-simply
place to eat and sleep when the
time comes. Boys should be given
freedom, but not license unre-
strained. There are places in
other towns that we could name
besides Evansville, where a fe p"

A New View of 1T.

We have heard and read many ar
guments in favor Of good country
roads. We had supposed that near
ly everything had been said that
could be said on the subject. 1t was
left for West Virginia editor to
produce bran new argument, AS
will be seen from the following.
which we find in the Charlottesville
Progress:
a West Virginia editor think :
there has been a decline of religion
in the country due To the horrible
condition of the public roads. In
his opinion one good road surveyor
is worth more to the Christian relig-
ion than 20 missionaries to China.
Now, if this West Virginia editor
is right, all the good people in the
country ought at once to join III a
league TO promote the cause of road
Improvement. You might as we'll
not have churches il the country if
the roads are SO bad that the people
cannot get to the churches. How
would it do to employ the West
Virginia editor to travel through the
Commonwealth as a sort Of home
missionary to preach the gospel of
good roads? lie might do a great
deal OF goo | by waking up the peo-
pie and convincing them that it is
not only their interest, but their
religious duty to improve the high.

Scarcely a day passes that we

devastating casualties, still many

still are not appeciative.
