We are spending at a fearful rate,

A Good Roads SUGGESTION.

The Maine commissioner of high
ways, Pau; ID. Sargent, makes Il strong
point when he emphasizes tho dcsira-
bility Of towns rc-elcctinG road com
missioncrS where such officials have
given satisfaction in their work and
proved themselves competent to fill
tho position. II is doubtless true. as
he suggests. that many thousands of
dollars are annually wasted on Maine
highways. while new road commission
crs are experimenting with them. The
returns from the towns of the STATE
show that 1874 commissioners were
Gle ctcd fm their first term in 1905.
The custom Of passing this office
around. or Of elcctinS Il new man each
year. is expensive for the towns. and
tends 10 greatly rctard the progress of
road improvement. A town can i'll at
ford to lose the experience which Il
capable commissioner has acquired.
Experience should be considered as
valuable an acquisition in road build
ing as in any other line of work; and
the sooner the idea that any man can
build roads ceases to prevail the more
rapidly will the highway system of the
State be brought into proper condition.
1t frequently happens that a commits
sioner is unable to undertake an inn
portant piece of work because the
money or time available during single
season will not suffice to complete it,
Were he assured Of his office for a
longer term he could plan his work ac-
cordinSly. This is something for the
voters in our country towns to think
over now that the annual election is
close at hand. Some law whereby a
town may vote to elect its road COM
missioner for more than one year (say
| three years. might be of advantage in
| many places. Such law has been III
effect in Vermont since 1894. and is
said to have worked in very satisfac-
| tory fashion in that state.

The appeal in behalf of the famine

presses upon the public the urgency Of

and secretary Of the Maine branch of
the Red Cross asks the Journal to
spread this appeal among its readers
i'm behalf of the great organization
which she represents.
The request foc American aid came
first from the American residents of
japan who realized the unhappy condi-
| tioa Of the faminc-stricken people of
| the three northern provinces Of that
country. and who feel confident that
| if the facts were known in this country

yielded only l. per cent. of the average.
ami the sentence of death hangs over a
qua rtcr 81 a million people if forgotten
and unai,led. In the eastern portion of
another province the yield is only Il
pcr cent. and three hundred thousand
people are in great distress aud on the
verge of absolute starvation. and in a
| third province it is certain that over
one hundred thousand persons cannot
live without speedy and prolonged aid.
They say:
| Already thousands in these three
provinces are reduced to shrub roots
and the bark of trees by which mere
life may for time be sustained. but at
the least calculation $4,000 people are
now facing extreme conditions. What
this means for their poor women and
children we who live in the center of
this on-coming misery find no words to
