favorably with the best weeklies and

Lesson in Good Roeds.

The state engineer OF New York in a
recent report says that in 1907 New
York built 81 miles of good roads
and in 1908 $50 miles. The taxpayers
have authorized the expenditure Of
S50,OOO,00O for roads. and the legisla-
ture has added 100000. 1t is stat
ed that the contention for good roads
had to be waged for years to get the
work started. The farmers were the
strongest in opposition. New Jersey
and Massachusetts took up the work
before New York, but now the EN-
pire State is getting in line BY the
time the $61 100000 shall have been
spent the three states. which all join
at points. Will have a great system Of
roads. One may leave Philadelphia
and reach Boston on highways smooth
and solid. A good automobile may
easily beat the trains on this trip, and
surely the pleasure is much greater.

The Albanians.

The new Government at Constanti-
nople not being sufficiently expeditions
in settling their status, the Albanians
have started an instruction in favor
of autonomy. This most uncertain ele-
ment in the Ottoman population, at n
time the sturdiest defenders Of Yildiz
Kiosk and at another the most blatantly
noisy in celebration Of the Constitution,
is almost continuously in a state Of war
fare. When no enemy threatens from
without they carry on blood feuds that
permit no man to grow old, while at the
first warning Of a common danger they
patch up their differences and visit at
mountain passes. They fight as did
the Montenegrins, and that the Turk
ish forces are suffering severe losses
is only a repetition OF the results OF the
many unsuccessful attempts to conquer
those mountaineers.
What may be the outcome Of this
struggle or what is the real motive OF the
instruction is not now apparent. Al
bania, with its long u~ndeveloped coast
line and it's easily fortified mountain
passes, Is a prize that most Of the Pow
ers of Europe might we'll covet. Italy
has looked longingly across the Adriatic,
and Austria has peeped over the noun
tain tops; but neither nation has ap-
parently made moro advances than the
establishment Of schools for the in
struction Of the young Albanians in the
virtues Of the respective countries. The
Albanians have always been ready to
fight and have generally been mixed up
in every Balkan ~sluabble. Their goal
has always been autonomy, but the
nearest that they v came to it was
in the brief reign OF ScANDERBRG.
Men who have claimed descent from
this hero have often tried to arouse the
tribesmen TO revolt, and II IL II man with
this same claim that is credited
with taking advantage OF present con-
ditions in Turkey TO revive the old dream
OF self-government,

ment at the time OF the Berlin treaty,

thoroughly understood, but it has not


Is thoroughly understood, but it has not
become popular yet.
The corporations, exhorted by the
Tribune's court preacher to accept this
tax as a guarantee against an income
tax, are perfectly well aware, as Is
everybody able to 60 about without
a nurse, that the income tax DOGGY is
but a painted devil. Amending the
Constitution is not a lightning like
process. Besides, no income tax bill can
be passed by Congress, or by the Senate
for that matter, IL there is O serious re-
~sistance, a there would be.
Washington is the last and worst
place in the world to judge public oph-
ion. We can't imagine, however, that
there is any serious belief in official
circles" there that the corporation tax is
popular. About all the information pro-
durable is to the contrary. The Spring
field Republican, which has no overflow
ing love for corporations, Is within the
truth when it says that outside OF
Washington public opinion is praoti-
cally unanimous in opposition to the
corporation tax.
What, then, is all this prepared APP
plause, this official ecstasy, this alleged
docility Of Congress, assembled to pass a
tariff bill, not to foist trouble upon busi-
hess and biiuisiy- TO commit the country
to a suddenly disclosed, undiscussed, un-
considered policy and measured There
is something mysterious and sinister
about this entire proceeding. The Re-
publicans are not likely to gather laurels
for good faith or intelligence IL this
proposition, originating where it had no
right to originate, and reviving the spirit
of Rooseveltism, becomes law.

A Board OF Naval Design?

The persistent recurrence Of a rumor
to the effect that Secretary MEYER will
soon create a Board of Design, to pre-
cede il not to replace the present Board
Of Construction, is so very full of pleas-
ant and reassuring suggestion that We
hardly dare TO entertain it seriously.
1t is an old story in one sense.
Former Secretaries have played with
1t in their hours of ease, but nothing
practical has ever come Of it. II
has remained an iridescent but evasive
dream.
How splendid a contamination IL
would be II the officers who navigate,
maneuvre and otherwise command our
ships Of war should gain a controlling
voice In their design! There would be
infinite justice and propriety In such an
arrangement, to say nothing OF it's be-
neficent effects upon the efficiency Of the
navy, In q military point Of view.
Is Secretary MEYER, w wonder, seri-
ously considering this stupendous trans
formation? Let us hope 30 with all our
heartR
