Another illustration of the un-
certainty of circumstantial evil
dence is shown in the return of
Jacob Johnson, the farmer who
was supposed to have been muir
dered near Miller last June. Large
rewards had been offered for the
finding of bis body or arrest of bis
murderer, and man named
Young, living in Jerauld county,
was awaiting trial charged with
committing the crime. The body
of man was found last fall in a
corn field in North Dakota which
was identified as the body of john
son, and the finder had made ap-
plication for the reward. This
week Johnson appeared at the
home of his mother in Brandon, S.
D. He is in a demented condi-
tion and can give no account of
himself or of his wand derings.

ing the month Of April every day
is Arbor day.

The Great Northern railroad
running into Huron has been
granted right of way from its
present depot in the west part of
town, along First street to Dakota
Avenue, and the supposition is
that depot will be built only one
block from the Northwestern de-
pot. The people of Huron believe
that this is the first move toward
the extention Of that line to the
southwest, crossing the Missouri
river at Wheeler. Owing to the
mysterious movements of the rail-
road companies in this state any
thing is considered possible.

supplement his recent campaign Of road
education in the respective counties with
personal inspection and instruction. and
this work must further improve the con-
dition of our highways as u whole.
Tho road makers of Vermont have
learned that drainage is one of the most
important factors OF permanent highway
improvements as we'll as Of ordinary road
construction and those highways which
arc we'll rounded not only dry more after
a storm but they are us a natural con.
sequence more durable than those which
are fat enough 10 hold water. thus being
in a situation TO become easily ruttcd.
Our people are paying more attention
to the kind Of material used for roads
than formerly and instead Of scraping
into the roadway whatever soil happens
to be nearest. good gravel Is drawn a
considerable distance in cases where there
is none Of this material near at hand
In low places where gravel would soon
be crushed out OF sight stone founda-
lions are laid, and either gravel or crush
ed stone covering put on. This applies
to those towns which are not in a posi-
ton to use either the macadam or telford
methods OF road construction. There Is
no town so poor. therefore, than can not
improve its methods OF road work. and
with care as TO material and methods
there is no reason why the highways
of Vermont should not continue to i'm
prove, even with the compare lively small
sums which are now devoted to pcrman-
ent roadway construction.
As indicated by the comments Of the
New York contemporary, our good roads
are already beginning to attract attention
on the part Of tourists, and with the
automobile rapidly sing in favor
as means of touring, this Involvement
to people Of means to visit our State
and spend some Of their wealth with our
summer hotels and boarding houses-
keepers and and farn-houscs will be-
come still stronger. There is every reason,
therefore. why the people OF Vermont
should persevcre and direct profit for
those who use them regularly. especially
those who haul large loads, but 1t Is
also the indirect source Of no little rev.
enue from summer residents and tourists

ENFORCING THE LIQUOR LAW.

Reports from different parts Of the
State tend to show that vigorous Of
fort is being made to enforce the Law
against the illegal sale of liquor Raids
are being made upon places where illega
sales are alleged to have taken place; thf
disclosure provision is being taken advan.
tage of. and intoxicated persons are beins
punished. in spite of the insistence that
extent which entities the inebriate to on,
sympathy rather than to punishment.
1t was not to be expected that with the
sale Of intoxicating liquor as beverage
in most of our cities and larger towns
there would be as much illegal sale ir
proportion as formerly took place. bu,
judging from all accounts of lawlessness
in different parts of the State perpetratet
by intoxicated persons. the viola tion OF
law has taken a new direction Liquor l.:
sold to persons under the influence of in.
toxicants to degree which should not
be tolerated in any community and there
are other directions in which the law is
violated with considerable impunity.
The report is current that liquor is be-
ing sold freely on Battery street in this
city in spite of the fact that the liquo,
commissioners granted no licenses to per-
sons residing on that thoroughfare, and
however this may be it is certain that
there are frequent symptoms pointing in
that direction The argument is made
that this section of the city should nave
licensed place of sale, on the ground
that liquor will be sold there any way
but If the law can not be enforced ex.
cept in spots. there is something wrong
While the champions OF license started
out with the claim that they would en-.
force the law. it is for all classes to use
their influence to see that the law is
lived up to in every particular.

GOOD ROADS IN VERMONT.

That the Jealous efforts OF the road

how it could do better Nevertheless il

engaged. with view to getting the best
possible results. Highway Improvement
Is constantly increasing in Importance,
and II is a wise State which takes ad-
vanced ground on the subject Vermont
ers rank far above the average in intel

perceivng how closely their interests

1t must he admitted that when one
drives over some of the smooth gravel
roads of cur State it Is not easy to see
how our system could be improved with
the means at command, and yet State
Highway Commissioner Gates has shown
that he Is possessed of various excellent
ideas the application of which can not
fail to result in material improvement
in our roads. Not all of our roads are
gravel, and there are places where i'm
proved methods will change our high
ways for the better. Commissioner Gates
