Economists all over the world win watch with eagerness the steps that have been taken in Canada to get pos session of all the telegraph lines and place them under the control of the gov ernment, says an exchange. It hap pens that the Dominion's treasury has a surplus of from S6.OO0OOO to s7.OOO, coo for the current year and for this reason the plan seems an entirely feasible one, especially since there is prospect of an equally large surplus for several years to come. Two com. panies practically control the telegraph systems of Canada at the present time and for this reason it will not be very difficult to come to some agreement on the sale. Only the sanction of the Dominion parliament seems now to he lacking to carry out the plan. Of course the instigators of the scheme believe that the Canadian government can supply the best service at lower rate than can private monopolies. This has been the contention of the so-called socialists in this country and the re. suit of the movement in Canada will have great influence on the future of our own politics

The placing of the statue of Frances Willard in Statuary hall in Washing ton is approved by the great majority of citizens who have taken any inter est in the matter. It is right and worthy that woman who had done as much and so selflessly for the good of mankind should be remembered fin this way, but it is deplorable fact that the statue as work is one Of the poorest that stands in the hall.

GOOD ROADS NEEDED
NO MATTER OF GREATER IN.
 TEREsT TO THE FARMER.
Manufacturers of Bicycles and Auto mobiles Pushing the Agitation Aid of Federal Government
 Long a Vexed Question.

One of the burning questions of tho day, which has behind it strong influ- ences and apparently an increasing popular sentiment, is that of govern ment aid in making good roads through out the country.
 This proposition is supported by many financial interests, also by manufactur- CTS of bicycles and automobiles, in ad- dition to the manifest interest which the farmers and the business men of towns and villages necessarily feel in the subject. Automobile and bicycle manufacturers favor the measure be- cause good roads contribute to the ex- tension of their trade, and are therefore profitable. Their support comes as simple business proposition. and joins with other influences to advance the cause.
 The propriety of the federal govern ment entering into this scheme is widely questioned, but there are cogent argu- ments in its favor. If a merchant can not send his goods upon the waterways of the nation, on account of shallows or sand-bars, the government removes the Instructions without expense to the merchant. If farm products cannot te brought readily from the farm to town, on account of impossible. roads, why. it is asked, should not the government extend helping hand? Local meth. ods, long tried, are found to be inade- quate. The almost universal habit ot allowing the farmers to work out their road tax, instead of paying 1t in money, results probably in loss of at least 50 per cent. of the nominal amount of such tax.
 The plan proposed by bills now pend. ing in congress is cooperation between the national, state and county govern. ments. Provision is made for an ap. propriation of $25, ,000, 900, to be distrib. uted among the states on condition that they respectively provide for at least an equal amount. Thus if the share of one state should be $1 ,000, ,000,i it must provide at least another million. The state in return offers to each county its share conditioned on it's raising at least one third as much. By this means every dol. lar furnished from the United States treasury will, it is assumed, secure as rule, nearly three dollars, cash expendi. ture, on the roads. As this expenditure Is to be made under the inspection and supervision of government officials, the supposition is that the best possible re- suits will be derived therefrom.
 The value of good wagon roads to the commerce of . country must be con- ceded, when we remember that 96 per cent. of all the trade handled by the railroads and steamships is first carted over the country roads. Hence the enormous aggregate waste, due to the fact that it may require four horses to haul load. which 1.-two horses should haul # the roads. were gQodd, dd,soqqrE soqr that 1t requires two days to haul what could be transported in one day-the farmer thus

Sliding Scale for Votes,

The number of votes held by the indi. vidual elector among the burghers in Finland varies according to the taxes he pays. so that a man who pays one tax unit has one vote. while others command a much greater number of votes. In most towns a maximum limit-in some towns 25. in others ten-has been agreed upon. ltis proposed that all voters shall have one vote only.

THE FARMERS LINE OF TRANS.

 giving one-half his time, % employed, to the bad roads cause.
 It is estimated that the average far. mer loses at least S10o q year to the cause of bad roads. This injures not alone the farmer but the village store keeper, because the farmer might earn $100 . year more and have that much more to spend.
 If one were called upon to decide which of the great American industries had in the last 70 years been most favor ably affected by legislation. he would be obliged to say that farming was that in- dustry. Much of this legislation has been only of indirect benefit, but it has all resulted in the farmers favor, from the railroad subsidies. which open up vast territories for settlements. to the tariff schedules, which have amazingly developed our manufacturing interests, and made home markets for agricultural products. All this favorable legislation has been of benefit to the whole people as we'll as to the farmer. Now if by im- proving the common roads of the coun. try, another direct and manifest benefit can be conferred upon the agricultural population. who is there 90 blind to the general welfare e to interpose an objec- toni THE SENTRY.

A MESSAGE FROM MARS.

There is a flavor of Charles Dickens Christmas Carol about "A Message from Mars" which Charles Hawtrey will present at Poli's tonight. Only. instead of an old Scrooge we have Hor. ace Parker. a selfish young man. who ims zines himself to be a scientist. and who. though he does not all de serve it. possesses the affection of q sweet and pretty girl. Minnie Teulpler. Parker's selfshness makes him ili-bred. He refuses 10 accompany his 1ancee to a party because there is snow upon the ground. and he wsnts to stay at home to read an astronomical article in a scientific review. Minnie. disgust cd at his egofism. breaks their engage menr and she and her aunt 20 oil to the dance n the carriage of Arthur Dicey. a rich young man. who is one of Min nie's admirers. Then Horsce sinks fo sleep in his armchair and dreams mat he is visited by an inhabifant of the planet Mars.

The audi ealce was not as large as is usually found on Monday night but the fall hiS on was not very noticeable and this certainly ought to he an indication that the stock company will prove popular fin Waterbury.
 There was m waits between the acts and this proved fo b. one of the popu- lar features. between the first ana sec and acts the audience WAS entertained with Illustrated songs and between the second and third moving pictures of Hop O. My Thumb attracted more thsn the usual amount of attention
 The drama is in four acts and con fsins morp than the usual amount of comedy which is furnished b two younR lovers vho make . decided irn- preston from the very starr The sfcry of the play has to do with an only daughter Helen Truman who falls in lore with Ros~rt Gray. voung attorney at lsv with an outlook of q very prosperous future she later throws down her first lover and mar ries aposber c United sfatee senator.
