The System is Wrong.

Referring to the published report
that the towns in Vermont have appro-
priated $4,000 more then last year
for permanent roads, the st. Adams
Messenger we'll slys.
And VIII does this $4,000
amount to toward such an object when
all around US the business of road
making on scientific principles is be
ing taken up by sister states with a
broad comprehensive view of the duty
of the commonwealth toward the high
way problem? How long can we ex
pect to stay in the race on our pinch
beck system of permitting 246 towns
TO do or not to do as they please about
mending or making the public high
ways, when progressive neignbors are
adopting and actively putting in force
the only true principle in this depart
ment of the public concerns and put
ting the states highways under the
jurisdiction of the state itself?"
Continuing, the Messenger advances
the following sound and unanswerable
proposition:
1.-The making of modern highways Is
not local question; 1t is a state prob
lem. The roads belonging TO all the
people that use them, not to the mere
political divisions known as townships
in which they lie. The essense of this
property right lies not in possession
but In use"
1t is utterly impossible to have a
continuous system of permanent high
ways in Vermont under the present
methods. Take a local Illustration OF
how the system now in vogue operates
Last year the town of Sheldon and tne
village of Enosburg Falls joined in
building a section of modern highway,
meeting at the town line, but instead
of continuing the work this year, max
ing it possible for this section of road
Ito be part of trunk line from St. AL
bans to Richford. all of Sheldon's
money this season will be uaed in
other parts of the town and II may be
years before this section of permanent
road will be further extended.
II is impossible to look for a system
of state highways from the individual
and inharmonious action of GAG units
presenting as many different problems
in road work because of local c~ndit
ions where the work depends on the
personality of the individual road com,
missioners, and where differences OF
opinion feuds and factional contests
delay progressive movements for
years, if they do not entirely prevent
them.
Vermont should enter upon the con
struction of a system of trunk lines
beginning at the south part of tAs
state and extending throu bout its
length, following the sane plans OF
highway construction adopted by the
other New England states. The work
should be done at once, in the same
manner that cities and villages now
| issuing of bonds and the payment Of
construct sewers and walks, by the
the same installments.
| In this manner will be obtained the
immediate results that sound business
and good economy demand, and The
present generation will realize some
of the benefits that secure from good
roads.-Enosburg Standard.

THE MAN AND THE PET FERN
Hair Grey Many Years Before
Her Time.

After supper Mr.. Man lights a cigar
and sits down for comfortable
smoke. His wife, with a regard for
husband and the neatness of her home
evenly divided. places an ash tray on
the table near him, and cuspidor on
the floor. The man is comfortable
and happy, and would get mad IL any
household disturbance caused him to
leave his chair, but he notices ashes
on the end OF his cigar, and gets up.
passes the ash holder and cuspidor.
and crosses the room to drop the
ashes on his wifes pet fern. The
wife has piled as many as ten ash
trays near the man, and surrounded
him with cuspidors, but he ignores all
u them to find his way to the pet
fern The wife objects, and has been
known to put the net fern In another
room to save 1t, but the man passes
the ash trays and cuspidors and walks
into the next room to flick off the ash
on his cigar. The same man will
walk through six rooms, II need be,
and pass S75 burnt match holders to
drop his match beside the pet fern. II
does no good for the woman to object,
or to invest all her pin money in more
ash trays, burnt match holders and
cuspidors, for the man viii never see
them on his way to the pet fern. And,
80 far as domestic history relates, this
is the only recognition the man ever
gives his wife's plants. And he never
does give recognition to the ash trays,
cuspidors or burnt match holders.

Work for the Unemployed.

of February ID, 1872: 1T is of the

want of employment among the labor

not be found in a nation of which the

There were atthattime, nearly 100 years
ago, 10000 unemployed in Liverpool.
The same writer, after asking: rs
war the only employment that the
state has to give the poor?" goes on to
show that the pyramids of Egypt and
the elegant edifices of Greece" were
built with the object of giving con-
tinual employment to the laborer."

AN ITCHING PALM.
No Cure for It,. Other Forms of Itch
inc Preferable

There is no cure for an itching
palm-the money kind. Even poslam

it. But when 1t comes to eczema
the most annoying of itching skin
troubles, poslam will stop the itching
at once and cure the worst cases in a
few days. So with hives. rash. scab-
les, split toes, piles, and scaly scalp,
all of which are different forms of &c
zema, accompanied by severe itching
and caused by imperfect digestion
and careless diet.
Poslam comes in two dollar jars but
fifty cents worth will answer in cur
ing any of the diseases mentioned. 1t
can be had of any druggist. VIM. l..

That results are immediate will be
amply demonstrated overnight by the

DOG CATCHER
RUNS UP AGAINST
A TARTER
is CRUELTY ABUSING A SMALL
CANINE WHEN BYSTANDER
INTERPRETERS.

For beating small dog with an
iron bar yesterday morning, James
Clifford started to administer a well
deserved chastisement to jackson
Rhines, the official dog catcher of
Tonopah. Rhines was leading the
small animal who kept Juggling at
the rope and was somewhat unwill-
ing to be led. This apparently an
gered the official dog snatcher and
he was tapping it lightly over the
head with an iron bar he was carry
ing. Clifford happened along and
noticing the dog being cruelty treat
ed picked up a rock and let it go at
Rhines' head. Bystanders then in
terfered and prevented further hos
tilities. When the dog man started
to continue to the pound he discov-
cred that the last blow he had land
ed had resulted fatally for the canine
for its soul had passed to dog
heaven. The rock that Clifford cast
at Rhines narrowly missed his head
and had it landed there would have
been a job for physician.
