Lesson In Good Roads.

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
S50,00O,000 for roads, and the legisla-
ture has added $11.O0O,OOO 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 SCI 100000 shall have been
spent the three states. which all Join

There was a bill in the late legis-
lature making the furnishing of
false information to newspapers a
criminal act, but we believe it died
some kind of a death. New York
Is living under such an enactment
and last week the law was invoked
to punish a lawyer who had given
a reporter false information which
when published, reflected greatly
on a respectable woman. The JUS
tice in summing up the case said:
81 want to say that it is illegal
for any one to parcel out fakes, or
false stories, to newspapers. For a
lawyer to be guilty of any such in
discretion it is doubly criminal, for
the reason that he not only does an
injustice to the newspapers, but he
puts the Bar Association in bad
repute. Both have troubles enough
without anomalies of the character
in the papers before me. "
This was the first case that has
been tried since the act became a
law two years ago. The lawyer
was fined $50 for his offense.

1t is generally understood that
Bradford is to have a Fourth of
July this year marked in other ways
than by the "red four" on the
calendar. As-- we are con-
cerned this is the first time in
number Of years that any effort has
been made to make the day a holi-
day. A few chairmen of commit
tees are not going to be able to make
this thing a success. OF course,
they will do most of the work and
get most of the kicks, but that in
itself won't make the day a success.
Every man, woman and child will
have to get interested in this event
and help it along. In the first place,
funds are needed. The business
men have done their part, for the
most part. Now let the rest of us
take hold. Let a hundred people
give a dollar a piece, let another
hundred give fifty cents a piece
and, with the fund already raised,
we will have money enough to pro-
vide for a good celebration. An
other thing let us begin to make
plans to take part in the events.
Let us plan to do something toward |
the general fun of the day. Some
are needed in the sports, some are
needed in the horribles, we can all
help by decorating our homes with
flags and bunting. All we need is a
little enthusiasm to show how easy
t is done. We have had a good
zap, now its time that we wake up
md get busy.

eve talk a great deal, write q
great deal, about public pride and
use the phrase as if it were merely
some rhetorical generality to make
pompous sound in a speech or
pompous parade in an editorial. But
of we were to put more of its spirit
into practice in this little city of
ours, if each man and neighbor of us
were once to take home to himself
the keen realization that the beauty
of the city was his to enjoy and it's
reputation his to preserve as a val
liable property asset, it would not
be long before st. Adams had cult
waited public pride that would no
longer neglect its duties and oppor-
tunities as it does today"
Most of us could take this para
graph as a text and preach a SER
mon that would apply to our town
or city needs. We are far too fond
of rhetoric and too little the doors
of deeds when it comes to civic
pride. Here in Bradford we have
a right to be proud of the way we
keep our homes and our grounds,
and practice and precept has brought
this about gradually, but what
about our streets? Country roads
are smooth as a floor in comparison
with our main street.

N. Y. We are sorry to see our in
dustries going outside the state, but
business is business, and where it is
successful it is conducted on bust
ness principles. Vermont is able
to offer inducements for industries
to locate within our borders, but
so are many other states. One
great detriment to Vermont is the
labor problem. Mill laborers are
more likely to flock to the large
centers than to come to the smaller
but thriving Vermont cities, and it
is handicap which the smaller CEN
tiers have to contend with in getting
mills to locate. But our case is not
at all hopeless as the Bennington
Banner says, "The only remedy is
for the people of the state to look
over the general situation in the in
dustrial world and to endeavor to
secure manufactures to which eX-
listing conditions appeal" In other
words, let us make the most of
those things which we do possess.

EXCHANGES.
(Brooklyn Eagle.

The Governors approval of the
Hamilton bill will simplify the
problem of the Forest, Fish and
Game Commission in caring for
the wooded areas of the Adiron-
dacks and the Catskills, and will
make less probable the destructive
fires which have already denuded
so much of that territory. The
new law authorizes the commission
to enlarge its system of fire patrol,
compels railroads running through
forest lands to patrol their tracks,
increases the penalties for setting
fires and gives the Governor the
power to suspend the hunting
season in times of unusual drouth.
This last provision may provoke
protest from hunters, but it is an
indispensable precaution if the
dwindling forest reserves of the
state are to be rescued from the
peril besetting them in every dry
autumn, when camp fires are multi
piled and the chances of confagra-
ton increased. The expense put
upon the railroads for private
patrols is not unjust, for they
divide with campers responsibility
for most of the fires.
The State of New York has been |
negligent in caring for its
forests. That it is no worse than
most of the other states is not an
excuse. Foremost in population I.
