"DOrian DAYS."

A volume of poems by Justice Wendell
P. Stafford, of the Supreme Court OF
the District of Columbia, is announced
for publication in the immediate future.
The title, Dorian Days" comes from
the fact that the beauty of ancient Greece
is in great measure the inspiration of the
volume, This return to classic art and
classic myths on the part of one who has
played so prominent part in the life OF
his own day as Justice Stafford is
particularly notew orthy. The Mac
milan Company is to bring out Dorian

Good Roads In Vermont.

TO those who advocate bonding the
state tor the purpose OF building trunk
lines OF permanent highways there is
much for consideration in recent adj
dress by James H. Mcdonald, highway
commissioner of Connecticut, who has
accomplished highly satisfactory results
IN permanent road-making in this state.
Mr.. Mcdonald says on this point:
1T is unwise for any state in nv
Judgment, to appropriate too large an
amount OF money at the outset. 1t is a
Did ter the extravagant and wasteful
expenditure OF the money, by reason of
the tact that no commissioner can in
telllgently and economically spend too
large a sum wisely and economically
excepting he has full knowledge of
every condition by which the require
mcnts OF his state are surrounded. 1t
has been the policy of this state (Con.
necticut) to make haste slowly. Now
IN my Judgment, any state will act
wisely when she carefully considers that
particular feature of how to economicallv
use the money at her disposal for high.
way improvement.
This, if the News is not mistaken is
practically the position of Vermont's
state highway commissioner Charles w
Gates. Another point made bv Mr.
Mcdonald in his address also AGREES
with the views of Vermont's highway
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1909-12-01

Perhaps the difference of opinion is the
result of different ideas as to what con-
stitutes good roads To the class call
ing for trunk lines o. permanent high
way nothing but macadamis good road,
while other people believe that good
dirt or gravel roads are good'roads.
We accept the latteridea as the correct
one for Vermont. ANY one at all familiar
with Vermont roads can recall MANY
sections of highway of dirt or gravel
that are good roads the year round.
Between them are sections of road that
are not good roads at any season of the
wear. To build trunk macadam roads
would mean the tearing out of the poor
and good sections Of the highway alike
and rebuilding them at a great cost
The present method of Commissioner
Gates is to leave the good sections of the
highway as they are, unless minor re-
pairs are necessary, and thoroughly re-
build the poor sections. In this way the
state is getting good roads much faster
than it could by building continuous
lines Of macadam road and at a much
less cost Vermont will do we'll to take
full advantage of its natural good roads
and road building material to its fullest
extent and conhne its stone road work
to the poor sections for the present and
it will soon be able to boast of good
roads secured at the lowest possible

commissioner, in regard to road material
~ nd h.1ildit,cr IL -,

| commissioner, in regard to road material
and building He says in part:
After you have commenced under a
small plan cooperating, and it would be
wise, in my judgment, to take the
smallest plan under which you can work,
indeed very few states can afford to
establish macadam system. We do
not find even in our own state small as
it is, that we can yet afford to import
material into the several towns of the
state to use; we purpose to use the
material we have in these towns. 1t is
wise at all times to reduce grades to a
minimum; 1t is good road making to
take out all unnecessary rocks and
boulders from the road, to properly
underdrain and take care of the surplus
water, ar ! then wait until such time as
the people can feel the Importance of
further improving the roads, and can
contribute of their means without
running into any excessive burden of
taxation and any large expenditure of
money. 1t is better to have a road
system grow along with the times, and
be an assistant to the town and the
people rather than to be constant
burden and menace to the citizens.
We have built some very good
gravel roads that accomplish the pur,
pose just as we'll as the best macadam,
and even better in their own particular
section. We have built other roads of
nothing but the natural earth we found
in the locality, and have made some
splendid roads doing nothing but
putting in culverts, raising the road and
putting in proper drainage
Greater progress has been made in
good roads for Vermont than is shown
in the number of miles built, because
each piece of road scattered over a good
many OF the towns Of the state has been
a valuable object lesson. Today there is
not so much need to advocate the
advantages of good roads as to discuss
the most practical methods of obtaining
a larger mileage in continuous length
each year, and thus make more rapid
progress in deriving the greatest benefit
from them.
Good roads could we'll be made lead
ing issue in the coming state political
campaign. Not merely used as a slog N,
but definitely discussed with plans and
purposes to attain practical end. In
such discussion, however, it will be well
to keep in mind that an attempt to do
too much, like shouldering a big debt
onto the state for complete trunk lines,
would probably defeat the object hoped |
to be attained Mortified News.

Good Roads Discussed.

In another column will be found an
editorial from the St. Adams Messenger
and another from the Mortified News
on the subject of Vermont roads. The
two editorials represent two conflicting
policies Of securing good roads in this
state. The Messenger and quite num-
Der OF influential citizens would have the
state incur a large Indebtedness and
begin demonstration of trunk macadam
roads. This as the Mortified News sug.
gests is not the policy Of the present
state road commissioner and we believe
is not the method desired by large
majority of the people of Vermont.

A project to hold an exposition in

sary of the freedom of the negro race and
to show the industrial progress of the
negro since that time is being discussed.
