The Good Roads Question:

There is "a good deal of impotence
manifested, at times, because the ire
mendous task of laying broad, hard,
well-graded and enduring highway over
the probably 100000 miles of roadway in
Vermont is not being accomplished in
rush ORDER Some people seem to think
that practically nothing is being done,
and not few loudly call for au enormous
bond issue to raise several million dollars
aud complete the work within a few
wears. It's fact too frequently over.
looked, that Vermont has set to work in
an intelligent, practical and conservative
way, to improve her highways. The
majority of the towns in the state have
taken advantage of the state aid act and
have put their own dollars with those o
the state. In the vicinity of 100000 per
year is being expended on permanent
highways in Vermont, under very com
petent state and county supervision.
Formerly, there was basis for the com
plant that this money was mostly fritz
tered away; now there is none. Every
dollar has to be accounted for as applied
to the purposes of the law. Results are
beginning to appear already. IG ten
years Vermont will have put q million
dollars into permanent roads and every
body will then note the change and mar
vel how easily and effectively it has been
done. And there will be no bonded
debt to Cypress this or succeeding gen
eratiODS.

 The Nervous Mother.
 An AtchiSon woman who is very nervous and inclined to worry is the mother of a boy. She recently read of boy who was killed while roller skating and immediately put her sons roller skates in the fire Another newspaper told of boy who was kill ed riding the street cars, and as boys are frequently killed while walking by street cars running over them she chained her boy to the front door. Then she read of boy wflo died of blood poisoning caused bs his shoe rubbing his heel. and her boys shoes and stockings came off. The story of boy who bit off button on his waist and choked to death resulted in her taking off her boys clothes. He had left only flannel shirt, and she is reading now that wearing flannel shirts is the cause of great mortality and is thinking of removing that Atchison Globe.
 Passengers as Bouncers.
 A passenger in a full railway car. riage in England has a perfect legal right to push away any one else who tries to get into it. This decision was given at Marylebone police court when a man complained that he was pushed out of a carriage at Bishops road sta hon by another passenger, who said the car was full. 'Tt is the duty of conductors" said the court, ito see that the trains are not overcrowded. They are perfectly entitled to use reasonable force to prevent any one from boarding cars when they are full. If they fail to avail themselves of this right the passengers are entitled to act for themselves"
