Massachusetts is getting along Win
its good roads movement faster than
Maine. According TO Chairman NC
,,IintNk of the Massachusetts, highway
commission. one-third of the length OF
the state highway when the good roads
system contemplates has now been
huiI,. Altogether tn are are 1880 miles
of public highway in the entire state Oh
Massachusetts, outside the cities, AMI
about one-tenth of This mileage will
ultimately be taken under the states
management. This will make about
1900 miles. and at the close Of the pres
emit season about 600 miles had been
built. 1t has cost a great deal of
money. and it is going to cost good
deal more. varying all the way from
$500 to $1,000 a mile. but probably the
state has got or will get its moneys
worth. Certainly the towns through
which the good roads run have.

An Unconverted Archbishop.

The Archbishop OF Canterbury had
such a fine time during his recent visit
to the United States. and was SD
charmed with everything he saw and
with everybody he met, that some
hopeful Americans really believed that
the head OF the English church had
this country and would go home TO
advocate the idea of free church in a
free state. They, have learned their
mistake and have discovered that the
genial English primate Is more of an
Englishman than ever since his trip TO
America. Since his return ne has writ
ten letter In which. he emphatically
re-afiirms his belief that the church Of
England as established by law is OF
priceless value" to the people. and
that its disestablishment and disendow-
ment would he great calamity. Il
should have liked" he writes. ito point

The Churchman. Of New York. the
organ Of the Episcopalians Of the
United States Is not only much disap-

promptness and energy from his views.

way is the best: with church and state
absolutely Independent OF each other:
and. Of course, practically all Ameri-

view of It. Moreover the Churchman
goes so far as to say that the English
church is hampered and hindered and
hurt by its dependence OH state support.

The Candidate in 1908.

The recent declaration Of Secretary
Taft, which vas doub:.@ss as sincere a!
It was sensibly expressed, that he has
no presidential bee ouzzing in his bon
net will not put an enc to the talk o.
hir many friends and admirers that M
is the proper man for the Republican
nomination In 1903. 1t is the habit OF
Judge Taft to attend H. faithful and
effective fashion to the work in hand
and just as he did his duty in the
PHILIPPINES 80 will he low devote him
self to the great department in MS
charge, with small regard To the pos
sif,le action OF the next national con-
vcntiOn Of his party. But since Presi-
dent Roosevelt has positively and
definitely declared that he will serve
only the term tn which he was elected
in November. 1t Is inevitable that
bOoms and boOmlets -or Judge Taft and
other strong and prominent leaders Of
the party should be launched from time
to time by Jealous friends and enter
prising correspondence. 1t is true that

leaders may die and now ones come 10
the front. while changing political
issues in the next few years may put a

considerations will not prevent talk

interest. and besides entertaining the
public and bringing rcmunerative re-
turns 10 Washington correspondents. it
helps to create and crystalline public
sentiment.
Secretary Taft is by no means the
only man who has been ''prominentlj
