The editorial columns Of majority
OF the newspapers of the state are devo-
ted almost entirely to the discussion of
political questions aud political cand-
dates SAYS the Nergeunes Enterprise aud
Nrrmourer. II i surprising the amount
Of interest the people in general show
in political matters and the records and
regulations OF the various candidates
are made public extensively without any
reservation whatsoever. With very
few exceptions the newspapers of Yer
mont are very fair ia their treatment ol
the candidates. OF the different aspirantS
for office, aud the Very few papers that
practice the policy of unftirneS> and IN
lecency and whose editors stoop so low
as to dip their pens into pools Of mud

that resort to such low practices are
either owned or controlled by some poll
tician who possesses vindictive DISPOSE.
ton aud has some political axe to grind,
Irrespective of the wishes of the patrons
of the paper aud without any regard for
public sentiment 1t is true that some
papers make mistakes and it is not at
all surprising when we reflect that the
man behind the pen is human, but the
tact to be deplored by all lovers OF a
high standard in newspaperdom is that
there exist to-day certain publications
that take advantage of the principle of
''freedom of speech to advance private
interests aud to condemn the champions
of reform. We are very fortunate to
have only very few such publications
in Vermont. and those few are fast
ceasng to he considered public organs
| anu HdNt l'IlS hS' i'Sl Iltli itHu'dtiplI
as moulders of public opinion. In this
connection is it at all surprising that
the public is beginning to discount the
editorial opinion of all newspapers
Just one illustration is the attitude OF
good many noted publications toward
President Roosevelt's campaign of re-
form, and now many of these same
newspapers have withdrawn their fire
of condemnation, Just because the peo-
pie are with the President in his work,
and his administration has been ap-
proved in every republican convention
The only restoration for publications OF
! this character is to reform immediately
and to practice henceforth in political
affairs the principle expressed i'll the
following:
| Henceforth in these conflicts exciting,
Learn, whether by speech or by pen,
With principles sword to be fighting,
And not to be slandering men.

County Road Meetings.

At the Essex county road meetings
held at Guildhall, Friday, April l.. two
towns of the county were unrepres-ntrd'

missinners of Concord aud East Haven

visor Geo. 6. Temple Of I.uueuhurg MAS
also present. The meetings were under
the direction Of Charles W. Gates, the
state highway commissioner.
The forenoon session was given over
10 a discussion of the rules for building
state roads as laid down 10y the state
commissioner, and their application 10
the various conditions that exist in Is
sex county. Besides the state commits
sioner. County Supervisor Tempe, o. NJ
Gallup and others entered heartily into
the discussion The commissioners
were urged to use more cane IN laying
out the work in reference to the width
lines, and grades, and to employ an en-
gineer on all important jobs. the cost to
be figured in with the expense of build
ing the road. The Importance of under
drains and of greater care in construct
ing and finishing all state work WAS
urged as one OF the requirements for
1908.
The afternoon was taken up by the
state commissioner in explaining the
duties of town commissioners in caring
for the selected highways aud those
built with state money and also the gen,
eral expenditure of town money, urging
them to put the earth roads in shape
early in the season and then caring FOR
them regularly through the season as
long as they are bare of snow, on the
d" stitch in time" plan. Attention was
called to the fact that large proportion
of our highways will continue to be COM
mon earth roads for long time to come
hence the importance of maintaining
them in the very best manner possible
The use of proper machinery and tool
was urged, and plea was made for the
taxpayers who live on the back roads
who have rights to be respected by the
road commissioners, and who are emit
tied to decent road.
This was the largest meeting ever held
in Essex county and the interest was
better than ever shown at any of these
meetings. In 1907 seven towns i'll rs
sex county voted $500 to take adran
tage of Act Ill, and this year ten town'

quiry he informed us that he was
sixty-four years old and had been in
Bryan moro than forty years; before
the town was started here and about

here when the II. & r. c. railroad
