THE GOOD ROAD MOVEMENT

In yesterdays issue of The
Star-Journal were described the
steps that are being taken to bring
about good roads in this section
of the country. and the story is
of great interest. 1t is becoming
more and more generally realized
that good roods are among the
most valuable assets that the
state can have, and every effort
erected toward procuring them
deserves the hearty support of
the people.
Thus, the attempt to have the
legislature and the state roads
commission aid in procuring sew
eral great highways. and also to
have neighbour 6 states Join in
the movement and even to enlist
the support of the general govern
ment, IS one that should be given
every possible encouragement,
and all the counties. together with
the state itself and the general
government, il the last can be en-
listed in support of this move
ment, should be able within a
comparatively short time to make
the Rocky mountain secticn a
paradise of good roads and one
of the most attractive touring
sections in the world.
AS general proposition we are
all IN favor OF good roads, but
frequently we are extremely
shortsighted in our methods of
procuring them Given fairly

might be all right to have these

TT IS RIGHT. THOUGH

Friends and supporters of Andre Maurel and IL. w. Frey, erstwhile candidates in their re- spective wards for the office of aldermen, are loud in their complaints against the action of the city council in turning down the nomination papers of these gentlemen and eliminating them as contestants at the primaries to be held on April 23.
 The disposition of these cases was not at the pleasure of the members of the city council. Their action is guided and directed by the new primary law, which is quite plain and compre- hensve on this particular point and should have been readily understood. That the candidates in question secured an excessive number of sig natures to their nomination petitions IS ad- vanced as evidence of their popularity and the wishes of the people in their respective voting precincts All of which may and may not be true. There was great wisdom displayed, how ever, when the legislators placed a maximum and minimum percentage of signatures to be se- cured and estopped voters from signing the pa pers of only one candidate for named office. It makes it impossible, first, for the really dis

FRAMING A NEW ISSUE

The English house of lords may reform itself without waiting to be abolished. The result of the recent elections was so indefinite as to give it another lease of life. It evidently will try to take advantage of this to make itself permanent
 At this time no king would be justified in ere ating 200 or 300 peers to give the necessary ma iority in the lords to pass measure taking from it all of its essential rights, leaving par lament in effect one-house body. So far as the election shows, this is not what the English people want.
 But they do want change, and it would be suicidal for the lords to appeal again to the peo- ple with the issue as it was and still is. So Lord Roseberry has proposed a trinity resolution which declares, first, that there should be a strong and efficient second chamber, with the ability and experience to take part Tn national legislation authoritatively.
 Second, that in the United Kingdom such a chamber can best be formed through remodel ing or reconsttution of the house of lords. Third that such a change or transformation should be based on merit rather than or primo geniture, which is to say, by election or some other form of choice, but that every peer should not be of right member as an incident of birth.
 This will be subject to discussion by the lords as statement of general principles or policy along broad lines. The stronger opposition will probably lie in those peers, who seldom, save as driven in at time of emergency, take advantage of their present right of membership; and in those who are least able and least capable and who regard their membership much as they do any other herditary right which has fallen into disuse, but still exists
 But if the lords are wise and adopt this state ment, it will then be followed by bill putting it in practical form and calling for body, much like our senate, chosen by election or otherwise, from the whole body of the peers. If the com mons refuse this, it will still form a new issue, and one with which the lords will have far bet ter chance of success in case of appeal to pop ular vote.

 A high school building is one of the present necessities. The people are ready to entertain a proposition born of the wisdom of the school board and are willing to give literally of their money to supply the demands in this direction. Persons familiar with conditions and those who have given the matter study assert that $5OOOO will be ample for the high school necessities of the city for the present and for a number of years to come It is estimated that this amount of money will buy lOt erecta suitable building and supply the necessary equppage In treat ing this question the board should eliminate from consideration the increased tax burden; an increase of tax is to be expected.

When the taxpayers are confronted with the real facts they will endorse the action of the board and give to it the support required to carry to a successful issue the building of high school.

SELECT GOOD MEN

The voters in school district No. should eX- ercse great care in the selection of a member to succeed J. S. Miles on the board of trustees. In school affairs, as in the administration of matters municipal, we are on the eve of con siderable necessary expansion and men of good iudement and business sense should be named to fill the places
 It will be the duty of the new school board to pass on the record of Professor Smith, whose term of office will terminate at the close of the present school year If they find that the guild ing hand has been faulty to a degree that has ieopardized the best interests of the schools and the pupils for whom they have been maintained, then it will be the duty of the board to select successor who will give to the parent and pupil the service expected. If. on the contrary it is discovered that Mr. Smiths administration has been all that could be reasonably expected, per sonal feeling and prejudice should be eliminated and the endorsement freely made We speak of this, however, simply as a prospective incl dent in the early life of the new board. It should
