THE Deeper Significance of the Boston Tea
Party" which is either elaboration or an
earlier. more detailed form of the narrative OF
the same incident In Fiske's 'American Revou-
tion." Here the author is consistent with him
self. but by a combination Of errors reaches a
completely untenahle conclusion. Mr. Fiskc S
thesis, in brief, is that through the committees
Of correspondence the will Of the people Of
Massachusetts as to wHat should be done with
the tea had been asrcrt;iiIitd 10y a species of
referendum. and that, consequently, the de-
struction Of the tea was the deliberate and
coolly reasoned act OF the people Of Massit-
chusetts" H. 1872 He continues: But my
point now is that the action of these committees
Of correS OndeIicc expressed the deliberate S''-
Of the commonwealth as truly as amy act If
legislature could have expressed it.

Something over fifteen years ago Mr- Fiske
announced that he had in preparation a history
OF the American people. At the time nf his
d'+.th he had covered the entire ground except
the first part OF the eighteenth century and the
national period. However, he had gone over
both these fields in his public lectures, and their
Inhlication during the last few months in his
NV France and New England" and in the
frst Of these two volumes Of essays, in
nl.lSure completes his original design. The

UNINIPRovED ROAD.

the fall The road will then be hard
and smooth and the gravel will be
packed down, but not worn out, before
bad weather sets in. 1t depends on
what shape the crown of the road is in
what the condition of the road will be
for travel through the winter. If the
crown is in good shape it will shed the
water to the side bitches, and If they
are in good shape the road will remain
dry and solid
"Now, l will tell few ways to spoil
a good road:
THE surest way is to use the road
grader and pile all the mud, sod and
weeds from the sides and bitches into
the center of the road. This makes the
road soft and muddy, and 1t will be
impossible for the next coat of gravel
to unite with the old roadbed. The re
suit is the road will be spongy. The
best plan is TO scrape 1t up into piles
and haul it TO some gully, of which all
roads have few, and dump 1t there.
"The road grader is a good road
builder in the hands of man that
knows how TO use it, but otherwise he
will do Il great deal of damage.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1903-09-04

In his address before the national
good roads convention President Roose-
welt made some good points. Among
other things he said:
st is the habit of road building that
gives to people permanent greatness
1.-THE development of the iron road
has been all that one could wish, but
1t is mere presumption to consider good
railways as substitutes for good high
ways.
1--WE want to see cities built up, but
not at the expense of the country dis
tricts.
IF the winter means to the average
farmer long line of liquid morasses
through which he must painfully force
his team if bent on business and
through which he must wade or swim
If bent on pleasure, if an ordinary rain
storm means that the farmers boy and
girl cannot use their bicycles you have
got to expect that those who live In
the rural districts will not find farm
life attractive.
I'VE should all encourage any check
to the unhealthy flow from the country
to the city"
