New York. April s-The officials of
the postoffice department are greatly in
terested in the vast scheme contemplated
by the $50 900, 900 bond issue authorized
by the New York legislature to be used
in the improvement of public highwa avs
in that state, says Washington dispatch
to The Sun. This interest lies in the fact
that of the $4,000 miles of public high

by 1913 rural carriers in the delivery

Since June, 1906, the office of the
fourth assistant postmaster general has
been cooperating with the state high
way officials of New York in the effort to
secure the systematic and general i'm
improvement of the public highways,
and postmasters and rural carriers were
authorized and directed to lend their aid
and furnish the state engineer and sur
veyor such information and data pertain
ing to the public highways as he might
request of them.
While the condition and structure of
the roads covered by rural delivery in
New York are probably above the aver
age, yet of the total number of miles
Travelled by the carriers l ,342 miles only
are over macadamized roads, or less than
one mile to each rural route in the state,
the remainder of the roads being gravel,
sand, or earth.
The department is cooperating also
with the highway officials of the state of
Maine in their efforts to secure greater
Improvements in foads. In Maine there
are 441 rural carriers, who daily travel
10, 1863 miles of roads, only 80 miles of
which are macadamized. New Hamp-
shire has 215 routes, covering 1885 miles
of roads. of which 81 miles are macada-
mixed. Vermonth as 324 routes, covering
7 452 miles of roads. 70 miles of which
are macadamized; Massachusetts 270
routes, coverng5 ASP miles of roads, SS7
miles ofwhich are macadamized; and
Connecticut POI routes, covering 1926
miles of roads, 2SS miles of which are
macadamized. Delaware has 10l rural
carriers travelling 1928 miles of roads, 26
miles of which are macadamized, and
New Jersey 269 rural carriers, travelling
?, 262 miles of roads, 704 miles of which
are macadamiZed.
According to the department, farm
values have materially increased since
the establishment of rural delivery, the
increase in New York ranging from
per cent to 200 per cent, in New Jersey
from ? per cent to 80 per cent, in Della

Lament of the Old-Timer.

The country's going dry, oh, dear

IT'S water, water all around,
But not drop of rye.
A man must buzz around for booze
In sections I've been through;
The temperance wave now holds tn,
hook
What are we coming to?
In little old New York, they say
No betting must he done;
Folks will to racetracks only go
To watch the horses run;
Wall street must wear its business
straight,
No shady deals will do,
And gambling must he stopped in stocks
What are we coming to?
Stage Johnnies. laws are asked to keep
Away from stage door pose;
And next, perhaps, policemen will
Yank bald men from front rows.
We cannot do single thing
That once we used to do,
And life is getting on the bum
What are we coming to?

VERGEN mn ES,

An artesian well dug on the Wheeler
house property, owned by Phelps &
Warren. yields a large supply of good
water. 1t will be recalled that Vergen-
mes is one of the places in the state where
the water supply has been condemned or
at least, where the state board of health
has recommended that efforts be made
toward securing pure supply. The re
suit of this experiment. it is said, shows
that water sufficient in quantity to sup
ply the needs of the city may he obtained
from two or three such wells, which
would greatly simplify the water question
1t is said there is no question but that II
new source of supply must be obtained
soon but the question at the present time
is where to obtain supply adequate to
the city's needs, and also the cost of con-
structing new system, which is estimat-
ed as high as 500, 900, which would
mean burdensome debt for years to
come.

Their Political History and Re-

The first third party in the strict sense
to make its appearance in American his
tory was the anti Masonic party, which
nominated William Witt for the Presi-
dency in 1899, and is of interest to us
mainly as having originated the national
n minating convention. In 1874 the Abo-
lition party placed in nomination its first
candidate for the Presidency, James G..
Brney, who drew enough votes from
Clay in New York and Michigan to elect
his Democratic opponent, Polk.
Again, in 1S4S, a third party candidate
proved decisive factor in the election of
President. Martin Van Buren,, run

votes than Cass. the Democratic candi.

American politics. Taking advantage Of
the approaching dissolution of the Whie

has issued the following statements
l deeply appreciate the desire of some
that should represent the State in the
United States senate. Many whose adj
vices and wishes alike deserve great
weight urge me to be candidate now.
| have however, been reluctant to leave
the business with which have been so
long and happily associated, and have
had grave doubts whether / ought at this
time to do so. Aside from my private
interest have peculiar duty and re-
sponsbility for its success. 1t touches
and affects so many that its interests are
more than private. | have also felt
great aversion to entering into political
contest while Governor of the State, or
permitting my friends to do SO for me.
1t is my present highest ambition to
complete my term of office as Governor
untrammelled by any other considera-

The Beginning Of the End.

Charlottetown, P. E. l., April 5.-On
the ground that the operation of automo-
biles constitute menace to public safe
ty, the Prince Edward Island Legisla-
ture has voted resolution favoring the
complete exclusion Of motor cars from
the province, and bill carrying this
resolution into effect will be introduced
and passed at the present session, the
members of both political parties being
in accord on the question.
Previous to the passage of the resolu-
ton the matter of operating automobiles
was threshed out thoroughly at several
committee hearings and the question has
been given close study by the members
of the provincial parliament.
At the present time there are only nine
automobiles in the province, although
during the summer season this number
is swelled somewhat by tourists from the
United States
During the past few months public
meetings have been held in different
parts of the province for discussion OF
the automobile question and reports were
presented showing that church attend
ance at some seasons of the year has de-
creased because the country people are
afraid to drive their families to church
when there is possibility of meeting an
automobile on the road. Statements
presented showing the frequency of &C
cidents resulting from runaways where
the horse has taken fright at an auto
mobile and other inconvenience alleged
to have been met by those who consider
ed themselves sufferers from the opera
ton of automobiles led to the action OF
the provincial parliament in declaring
against such vehicles.
Doubt is expressed in some quarters
as to whether the provincial parliament
has the legal right to exclude automo
bles from the province, and it is expect
ed that after the passage of the law thu
question will be carried to the highes
court in the dominion for settlement.

FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1908.


The tariff revision plank of the Indiana
Republican platform, adopted on Thurs
day, was written by Vice. President Fair
banks. 1t expresses the belief that re-
vision of the tariff now would be bene-
fetal, and insists that it should be made
speedily, in order to minimize the harm
full disturbances that tariff changes nee
essarily produce. And it adds:
"We therefore favor the calling of an
extra session early in November, 1908, to
make such revision, and recommend that
Congress take immediate steps to secure
the proper data by experts for intelligent
revision, as advocated by our Senators
and Representatives from this State; but
we also insist that in such revision the
protective principles shall be maintained
and that maximum and minimum rates
be imposed so that our export trade can
amply be protected and foreign discrimi-
nations against us be prevented"
This is plain, straightforward avowal,
fixing definite time for beginning the
work of tariff revision, and paving the
way for speedy action by providing for a
commission to prepare data. 1t is dec
laration that reflects credit upon the
author and upon Indiana Republicans
for its frankness and courage If the
Republicans in national convention at
Chicago should adopt the Indiana plat
form, word for word, there could be no
honest criticism of the attitude of the
party toward revision.
President Fairbanks has again
demonstrated in this incident the clear
insight, steadfastness, and faithfulness
to the public interest that have marked
his career. In many ways the Indiana
statesman resembles President Mckinley,
who was one of Mr.. Fairbanks admirers
and confidants. A considerable portion
of the Republican party has discerned in
Vice. President Fairbanks the qualities
that are most desirable in President,
and it is universally conceded that if he
were in the White House the interests of
the country, and every part of it. would
be safe. The Indiana convention spoke
with exact truth when it said:
He is wise in counsel. His judgment
is deliberate and sound He possesses a
steadfast purpose and conservative cour-
age. His heart is kind, his sympathies
sincere and wise, his dignity modest, but
real; his sense of justice exact, equal
and abiding. His private life is pure, his
home life ideal, his public life unblem'
ished."
The Republicans of the United States
will not be embarrassed by a lack O.
suitable material for the Presidenc,
when they gather at Chicago to select
leader. If circumstances should combin,
to turn their attention to Charles w
Fairbanks, of Indiana, they would no
find anything in his private or public if
that would make discrimination unwise
In the opinion of The Post, the politician
of the party are mistaken if they thinl
the American people do not have higl
respect and admiration for Vice-Presi
dent Fairbanks. Washington Post.
