Good for Pres. Taft.

In a recent speech Pres. Taft said:
The evil of the corrupt control of
a congress or a legislature by private
interests is manifest and always calls
for condemnation. But there is an
other kind of legislative abuse as
dangerous to the public veal in GER
tain of its aspects as corruption, and
that is the selfish combination of the
representatives of the majority of the
constituencies to eXpend the money
of the government for the tempo
rary benefit of a part or with little
benefit to the whole.
1t is the duty of the majority and
the minority to legislate always for
the benefit of the whole people, and
any enactments that look to the sell
fish exploitation of less than the
whole at the expense of the whole,
and without the benefit to the whole,
is a species of legislative abuse that
comes very near corruption in its eff
feet and is perhaps more dangerous
than corruption, because of those
who support its defense.
The days of the pork barrel should
be numbered. The country is reused
against the corporate or corrupt con-
troll of legislative agencies, but it is
doubtful whether the constituencies
as yet are able to perceive the higher
obligation on the part of themselves
and their representatives not to use
their votes in combination to appro-
pirate to part that which belongs to
the whole.
Truer words were never spoken
and it would be one of the greatest
Announcements of recent times in
political service : this result could
be accomplished. The greatest diff
ficulty however will be to educate the
people SO they will demand it. The
test of a congressman today is very
largely what favors he can secure for
his constituents. The better errand
| boy he is the more his people think
of him. But such frank and fear
| less statement of facts as the presi-
| dent has made will help to open the
| peoples eyes and let us hope will
| ultimately arouse their condemnation
of such methods.

ment, and perhaps a little more
space may have been devoted to the
short time enjoyed at the Vail home
from which the opinion was formed.
The facts are, the trip included
nearly every town in the county.
The start was made south from the
village of ST. Johnsbury through
Barnet and Ryegate to PeachamA
Danville, Walden, the east section
of Hardwick, through the Orleans
county towns of Greensboro. Glover,
Barton, Westmore, and back
through Sutton, Burke and Lyndon.
About 125 miles was covered, all
that could be expected in one days
time, at the end of which the hos
pitality of Mr.. Vail was all the
more enjoyed. The highway trav-
eled over included some of as good
roads as can be found in the state.
Some not as good, OF course, but it
the party absorbed the object of
the tour in noting the difference,
how the best of the roads were con-
structed, and will carry the lesson
into the state legislative halls where
they can act more intelligently on
good roads bills that may come
up, it accomplished all that could
be expected. The good roads ques-
ton is growing to be more important
every year, and the present crusade
will do whole lot of good in further
ing the work which has been done
within the past few years in the state.
The writer speaks of what he has OBJ
served in the towns of Hardwick,
Woodbury. and Craftsbury. Grades
have been cut, roads widened and
the draining has beenselooked after
with more care than previously, and
it is also fact that there is more
uniformity in the work, which has,
no doubt, come about under the in
fuence of State Road Commissioner
Gates. Therein lies great portion
of the success of good roads sys-
TEN. Place sufficient authority in
the state commissioner so that work
will be- done in a uniform manner
and not in a haphazard, or 246

provement will be made Within

roads as bonding system can

PRESS COMMENT.
Not So Bad.

The Caledonia county good roads
tour turned out to be about as much
of practical object lesson as a
ride on a merry-go-round at the
fair. Not foot of highway outside
Vermont was travelled over, if the
newspaper accounts are understood
correctly, and no small part of the
time was devoted to q junket at the
hospitable mansion of T. N Vail.
No wonder the party voted not to
bond for roads, having seen nothing
but Vermont roads to bond for ST.
Adams Messenger.
The Messenger in it's comment is
making light of the trip taken by
the Caledonia county party, and the
Gazette believes it did not have good
reason for doing SO. Perhaps the
Messenger did not get full accounts
of the tour when it made the COM

for preventing tuberculosis in cattle

In his recommendations Gov Mead
shows that he has got in close touch
with some of the leaders in state
work and they are certainly intended
to benefit the state as a whole but
some of them are so unusual that
they are not likely to be enacted at
this session of the legislature.

InfantiIe Paralysis.

It appears that to date there have

authorities ought to result in pre-

FORM Our state health board re-
quires a quarantine of four weeks,
in a just-published order, and a re-
port of every case - excellent pre-

We note that in Rhode Island,
where poliomyelitis is epidemic, the
state board of health has ordered
the same system of quarantine. ap-
piled to members of the household,
school children and teachers as is
applied in case of scarlet fever, diph-
liberia and other communicable
maladies. 1t is further ordered that
the person affected with the disease
be isolated from other members of
the family, except the nurse at

period of isolation of the patient be
continued for a period of Fl days
