RANK I. HOWE, Editor and Publisher
Good Road Workers.

Inasmuch as the officials OF the Nat
lonal Good Roads association began
their Vermont campaign In Benping.
ton the following from the ST Adams
Messenger will be OF interest:
montpelier taxpayers have good
reason TO thank Representative John
II. Senter from delivering them from
the t,nder merclos of Messrs Loucks
aud Moore, the 800 good-ropds men.
The reports received upon these men
by State Highway Commissioner Gates
represent them as always ready 10
Ia TX good roads-for a consideration,
but that their demonstration Is likely
10 be acostly and disappointing affair.
The astute Mr. Senter penetrated the
plating OF the gold brick and his
courageous opposition probably saved
the city considerable sum oimoney. -
Montpelier Journal.
"Does Burlington feel as II she had
been slightly burcoed into holding a
Moore and Loucks good roads meet
ing? And how ABOUT MiddleburyY
The Register must admit that II was
wrong when II charged that they
were In the state In the interest OF the
automobile. II looks as II they we're
looking out mainly for the interest OF
Moore and Loucks. But J. II Senter,
who first saw through the scheme, ap.
parently put an end TO their opera
lions In Vermont "-Montpelier Jour
nal.
Not with intent TO underestimate
the far-sighted judgment OF our friend
Senter, but merely TO avoid suffering
his glory to hide the just claims OF
others, The Messenger might add that
the business men OF st Adams turned
down a similar proposition OF the
"Good Roads" men, and, unless this
paper Is misinformed, they we're the
first In Vermont to do so. The scheme
did not appear TO be any more de-
sirable to men OF this city than II did
to Mr. Senter, and the shadow OF the
same Ethiopian gentleman lurked
about the woodpile.
And yet some OF our friends do not
understand the why Of 1t, even yet.
here, for instance, is an editorial COM
ment from The Wilmington Tines
Because the city OF Montpelier
would not furnish the labor aud ma
terlal for road building demonstra-
ton the good roads convention when
was to have been held at the capitol
this month has been called of. II is
regrettable that the convention could
not have taken place for 1t could
scarcely have failed TO have 10 some
degree beneficial effect on the growth
OF an intelligent interest In this most
important subject"
Which shows that long-range criti-
cism is not always reliable.

Only Too Well Satisfied.

The husband who is always growing
over everything from his meals to his
laundry looked up from his paper and
remarked sulkily:
Madam, see where Chicago man
went from home. remained 30 years
and then returned and gave his wife
$4,000. If you don't do better you may
find me doing the same trick some
day"
The patient little wife looked up
from her sewing and replied sweetly:
"All right, James, but II you will
only remain away the 30 years you
needn't trouble yourself about the So
000." And after that he stopped
growing.
