President Taft Yielded.

In letter written by Secretary
to the President Norton to a prom
inent republican leader in Iowa
he states that while pending repub-
lican legislation in congress was OPP
posed to certain republican leaders,
the president felt that his duty to
the party and to the country re-
quired him to withhold federal pat
ronage from those senators and rep
resentatives who seemed to be in OPP
position to the efforts of the adj
ministration to fulfill the promises
tude, however, ended with the prim-
airy elections and nominating con-
ventions, in which the people have
declared themselves. Now the presi-
dent looks upon progressive" and
regulars" only as republicans, en-
titled to his support and the support
of the party. In the future all will
be treated alike, and federal pat
ronage will be restored to those from
whom it was withheld.
HIS may U0 nd11SQ do OdNh
down on the part of President Taft.
1t certainly is change from policy
the wisdom of which was question
able. But there was no other course
open to the president. The primaries
have shown the sentiment of the
country to be with the progressive
element and the president acts
wisely in gracefully accepting the
verdict. 1t reveals willingness on
the part of the president to allow the
people to have what they want with
out even mentioning my policies"
1t is also something of a contrast to
Speaker Cannon's course. Cannon
is obstinately riding to defeat while
President Taft in his obedience to
public, will is winning a greater de-
gree of the peoples confidence.

Gates to accompany such tour.
In this tour these are some of.
the things that should be shown,
good examples of road building in
Vermont with state money, places
where good roads have been con-
structed and not properly cared for
after the improvements have been
made, examples of good dirt roads
where proper care will maintain as
good highways as can be secured by
more expensive methods Of construc-
ton, the neglect of maintaining good
sign-boards by some towns and if
possible, stretches of roads where the
road drag has been used. This move
on the part of the Commercial club
will prove very efficient aid to the
cause of good roads in Vermont.

One Way of Doing 1t.

The good roads problem, which
is in process of solution by various
methods throughout the East, ap-
pears to command considerable at
tention in many parts of the West, as
well. In Ransom county, North Da-
kota, for instance, prizes of one
hundred )llars, sixty dollars and
forty dollars have been awarded to
the township road overseers having
the best stretch of road III the county,
the second best stretch of road, and
the third best, respectively. The
competition was open to all road
overseers in the county, and was in
augurated by the Ransom County
Good Road association for the pur-
pose of arousing interest in the max
ing of better roads. So numerous
were the entries, and so successful
was the plan this year, it is under
stood that the same plan will be fol-
lowed out next season. This appeal
to town pride will undoubtedly be
effectual in producing the desired re-
suits. A town whose road overseer
is naturally inclined to do his best
may not benefit so directly by this
spur of competition, though even
that class of town can hardly fail
to benefit Indirectly: but the town
whose road officer is characterized
by extreme moderation in the matter
of work under ordinary circum-
stances is apt to benefit directly,
since no public official can afford to
suffer too great a contrast between
the results attained by him and those
attained by men in corresponding
positions in neighboring towns. The
tendency, therefore, is to make poor
roads good. and good roads better;
