Commissioner Gates Policy.

In the apportlonment of the money
collected for automobile registrations
in Vermont Windsor county, as a
liberal buyer Of motor cars, gets
$2lO3 %, a sum that is exceeded by
that going to only one other county,
Rutland. This money onght to
smooth out a good many rough
places in our roads, and State High
way Commissioner Gates, the public
is told, will at once give early atten-
ton to the emergent needs of main
travelled thoroughiares One of these
is the Rutland Woodstock road
which, according to reliable informal
ton, is badly out of repair in spots,
and for this money can be drawn
from the appointments of both
Windsor and Rutland counties, Rut-
lands being $4,000, and Windsor's
above $4,000.
These sums do not suggest the full
amount that may be available, for
Mr.. Gates has lovely plan to double
them for the improvement Of our
roads. The Free Press outline OF
Mr. Gates policy says that he will
insist that all towns wherein this
money is spent, in every county,
match up dollar for dollar of THEN
own highway funds for the same
Improvement
This is one of the unique features
of Mr. Gates policy, as the Free
Press notes, and it will be fine
thing for the roads if he has authority
to carry it out.

In swearing in jury in the superior
court, Chicago, recently Judge Kava.
nagh took occasion to rebuke jury
dodgers and to eXalt the service that
jurors give the public The general
idea that jury service is onerous is a
mistaken one" said the court. ~ don't
believe that any one who has ever
served two weeks on jury would ex-
change his experiences. Jury service
calls for the highest order Of intelli-
Gence and for the most honorable of
men. 1t is not alone a privilege to
serve as a juror, but it is an honor"

To think of others in the game,
To let my visitors 80 first
To take the smallest piece and worst
And see that others had enough
And not be greedy cross or rough.

CASTRO REVOLT RuMoR sTiRs.
Venezuela in Foment Over Reported
Plans of Fallen Dictator.

Caracas, Venezuela, Nov. 24.-For-
mer President Castro, an exile in San
tander, Spain, is accused daily by the
highest officials of the Venezuelan gov
ernment of attempting to foment
revolution against the Gomez regime.
The continued agitation caused by
the wholesale arrests of Castro parti-
sans. by the recent sensational split
in the liberal party when an attempt
was made to reorganize 1t. and by the
near approach of the next session OF
congress, which will elect a constitu-
tional president for four years. has
stirred political feeling until again to-
day a spirit of unrest and uncertainty
exists.
Either a serious condition of affairs
does exist in Venezuela. due to steps
being taken by the overthrown dicta-
tor to wreak vengeance on President
Gomez, or there is an object which in
spires the government to make 1t ap-
pear that Castro is busy conspiring
with his followers. This object, the op-
ponents of Gomez say. is perhaps to
Justify the wholesale arrests which
have been made.
Every one believes Castro will never
rest until he has made another effort
70 ruin those who were responsible for
his ignominious downfall. Times are
hard for his friends in Venezuela to-
