The Pope is dead. Expressions of sorrow go out from people of all denomi- nations, and it is universally agreed that he was grand old man, and the strength of his character and the gentle ness of his life compelled admiration from all peoples without regards to their creeds. What a change twenty-five years has wrought in the thinking ap- paratus of the people. Twenty y-fve years ago there were people who called the-Pope "Anti- Christ" The majority of Protestants and Catholics then knew but little about the others beliefs, and fanaticism was rampant. Pope Leo XIII by his life as head of the Roman church has done much to broaden the view of his own people and the Protestants. Let us be thankful that we live in a broader age than did our forefathers. The age of real religious liberty is with
 
 us. The Catholic church knows no more the spirit of the Spanish inquisition, and the Protestant church knows no more the spirit of Salem witchcraft. Humanity is reaching out for the good in life, and because one is working along different lines than you are it is no sign that he will not reach the goal of hap piness just as certainly. May the new Pope be as good man as Leo XIII, and may the relation of Catholic and Protestant advance in amicability as much in the next twenty-five years as in the same number past.

NOT A CONTRACT.
Highway Commissioner Sets the Towns Right On the State Good Roads Law.

Towns Right on the State Good
 Roads Law.
 Highway Commissioner Mcdonald i'll a circular letter just issued sets at rest misapprehensions which have existed concerning two matters within his proyince. In letter to the selectmen of the towns he says:
 I have very recently been asked a question by several towns of the State relative to the obligation of a town mak- ing an appropriation under chapter l25, general statutes, known as "An act to provide for the improvement of the pub lie roads, The question asked Is: Does any town enter into contract with the State of Connecticut and assume an ob- hgation when 1t passes a vote making an appropriation to expend the amount of money named in the resolution pass ed at town meeting?
 I deem this question of sufficient i'm portance for me to answer 1t ill general letter; and my answer has always been and will be, No. The act of town in making application for State appropria- tion simply gives the town the right to enjoy an allotment made by the State and to use it if the town sees fit and proper i'll the time prescribed by law. In other words, it is precaution and safeguard for all towns in protecting their access to portion of the appropriation of 19O3-4, and if any town in the state does not de sire to-through any financial embarrass- ment or otherwise-take up their allot- ment it will simply lapse or remain ln the State treasury and the town will be under no obligation to expend it.
 There is another matter about which some misapprehension has arisen, and perhaps it might be well to speak of it at this time, namely; an idea has gone abroad that 1t is absolutely necessary for a town to vote the entire maximum amount of $9, 900 in order to participate in this appropriation during the next two years. This is an erroneous idea, and has no foundation ill fact. Every town in the state has right to make any appropriation they see fit and proper, from $1 to 5000. It is not the purpose of the State, and never has been to ask any town to exceed ill any way the amount of money they can safely af- ford to expend. Hence, all towns have the right to vote whatever amount ap- peals to their judgment and the wisdom of their citizens when in town meeting assembled. They are the only judges of what is best and most wise for them tC do
