The good roads movement may as well
be put over until the session Of 1906.
Meanwhile the opinions Of the people OF
the state ought to be crystalizing into
some definite plan Of procedure, 50 that
by the time the legislative body Of two
years hence comes together there win
be something really decided upon. AS
conditions are now there exists a chaotic
tumble Of ideas respecting what the
state needs and the best means Of meet.

owing to the Importance Of the matter.
No issue Of prominence finds a unanimi.

Therefore, beginning now, there should

good roads. Let the subject be common

Of pines invaded by a maestro and his
twenty pupils. each with a piano and
each practicing from four to seven
hours daily. More than one American
girl was turned adrift from her lodg-

maestro and pupils were besieged by
committees of police. press. and
populace. Behold the finesse Of the
maestro! For by playing at a great
charity concert for the poor of the
town all voices We're stilled. though
the fingers of pupils worked all the
