Ladies, Week at Montpelier to Be
Held Last Week in October.
Ladies' week at Montpelier will
be observed the last week IN oct
ODER. On the evening of Tuesday,
the 25th, will occur the public re-
ception at the state house, given by
the governor and Mrs. John A. Mead.
On Wednesday, the 18th, Mrs. Mead
and. Mrs. L. P. Slack, wife OF the
lieutenant-gover will hold pub
lie reception and tea in the parlors
of the Pavilion for the women. The
governors ball on the evening of
the new city hall. The foregoing in
cludes the state functions, but other
festivities are scheduled for the
week.
On the opening day of the ses-
sion. Wednesday, October 5, the
bronze memorial tablets, authorized
by the legislature of 1908, in honor
of Maj-Gen. George J. Stannard and
Maj.-Gen. William Wells will be dedi-
Gated between IL and 1 = o'clock.
These tablets have arrived and will
be placed IN position in the upper
lobby this week. The tablet COM
memorating General Stannard was
procured from the Gorham Manu-
featuring company of New York by
A. G. Mansur of Burlington. The
one for General Wells was designed
by Miss Mary Stiekney of Rutland
and was made by the Roman Bronze
company of New York.
These tablets will be accepted in
behalf of the state by Gov. G. H.
Prouty. Gen. T. S. Peck of Burling-
ton will speak for the soldiers of
thes seven regiments from Vermont
who served under General Stannard,
and Capt Henry O. Wheeler will
speak for the 1st Vermont cavalry.

determining the course of national
affairs. Their places will be taken
by men who lack their knowledge and
experience 1t will retard legis-
lative progress until the new men
have learned their powers and the
extent to which they can carry out
their purposes. There must be
complete readjustment in the mem
bership of the next congress. = 1t will
mean the Introduction of many
measures that are well intentioned
but really dangerous to the stability
and welfare of the country. These
will tend to brighten capital and may
for a time check it's activity and re-
tard for a time the country's pros
perity.
On the other hand this extensive
change has been brought about by
the desire of the people for purer
politics and for a more complete re-
demption of the party pledges made
in 1908. The new. men have been
chosen because they are expected to
more faithfully serve these honest
purposes and they enter upon their
duties enthused with clean inten-
tions. With the new sense of res
possibility on them they will be
sobered to an extent that will make
them safer and more conservative
and we shall be surprised if they
jeopardize the best interests of the
country. Out of it all we expect
to see the republican party emerge
with its honesty strengthened, its
claim for confidence increased, its
power enlarged and the cause of the
common people more faithfully serv-
ed than it has been sometimes in
the past.

Wave of Progressiveness.

That a progressive spirit, is making
itself felt in the republican party
is evinced by the state conventions
in different sections of the country
both in the choice of candidates and
the platforms adopted.
In New Hampshire After their
victory in the primaries, the pro-
gressives of New Hampshire have
adopted a platform which declares
for
Republican achievements of the
last congress under the leadership
such large measure the policies in
augurated by Theodore Roosevelt;
a tariff to conform to the national
republican platform of 1908; the
appointment of non-partisan tariff
commission; reciprocal tariff re-
lations with Canada; conservation
of national resources; the establish
ment of a parcels post is favored;
the recent changes in the rules Of
the national house of representatives
be necessary to make it impossible
for any man or small group of men
to prevent the consideration of legis-
lation.
This certainly is declaration
against the old order of things in
congress-
In New YOrk-Probably of more
national influence is the complete
victory of Theodore Roosevelt in his
fight against the "Old Guard in
New York state. New York's most
astute politicians of recent years
were lined solidly against him and
yet he beat them on every issue by
large majorities in the state conven-
ton at Saratoga. Not only did he
secure the election as temporary
chairman and the adoption of plat
form containing many of his ideas
but he selected the candidate for
governor and announces that he will
take the stump in his support. This
is certainly a bold move for it has
been considered doubtful for some
time if the republicans could carry
the state of New York. Had Roose-
welt chosen he could have retired
somewhat after his personal victory
and if the party fails in the election
claim he had nothing to do with it.
This he did not do and a defeat of
the party would mean direct
rebuke to Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t must
be stated however, that it looks
more like republican success than it
did before he took the helm

compare their roads there with the
roads the party had just been over.
He declared that he was ready for
any scheme that we could afford
that would give us good roads faster
than we are getting them now but
he was not ready to abandon present
policies until he was convinced that
changes would bring improvements.
The gathering was then thrown
open to informal discussions and
questioning and more than an hour
was spent in talking of good roads,
During this time w. P. Russell of
Kirby rose and moved that the thanks
of the party be extended to the Com
mercial club for it's entertainment
which was quickly voted.

A Bad Guess.

The Caledonia county good roads
tour. turned out to be about as much
of a practical object lesson as ride
on a merry-go-round at the fair. Not
a 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 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 Mes
senger.
This is one of the worst attempts
to discredit an opinion that does not
agree with it's own we have recently
seen. AS a matter of fact the tour
of the Caledonia county men was
over some of the best roads in YER
mont and the tourists saw what could
be done with Vermont material. The
visit to T. N. Wallis place also gave
them an opportunity to ride over and
inspect macadam roadway quite as
well built as any to be found in
neighboring states So the tourists
saw all the different kinds of roads,
heard the unbiased opinions of men
who had seen much more road than
they had and had no more more of
a junket than the Franklin county
men did when they side-stepped to
visit to Dannemora prison.
The opinion of the Caledonia county
law makers may not agree with
some others, but it was honorably
reached and cannot be scoffed out of
court.

Ver1nont's Road Policy.

The general interest shown in
Vermont's highway problem by the
various good roads tours this fall in
dicates that the road policy of the
state will be one of the live issues
in the present session of the legis-
lature. The project of bonding the
state for the construction of trunk
line highways will be advocated with
new vigor and perhaps will draw new
strength when the vote is taken.
The good roads tour in Caledonia
county last week gave the law max
ers from this county an opportunity
to hear some very practical sugges-
lions regarding Vermont roads and
if we could gauge the sentiment cor
rectly it did not advance the cause
of trunk lines. First, that tour show
ed the good results that can be at
tanned with dirt and gravel under
the present system. 1t also revealed
the fact that nearly every town feels
a live interest in the construction of
good roads within its borders and
that with this sentiment rapidly
growing it will be but short time
before every town will be following
progressive policies and doing its
part in giving the state good roads.
The remarks of T. N. Vail and High
way Commissioner Gates showed
that in all public undertakings it was
necessary to have the support and
cessful, that the people of the towns
are not benefited so much by hav-
ing things done for them as by the
things they can be induced to do for
themselves. Another fact promin-
emily brought out was that the con-
struction of trunk lines in solid sec
lions by the state could benefit but
a small proportion of the people at a
time, whereas the present system
is beneftting every part of the state
some and will benefit more as the
| work is enlarged. = The strongest
argument against the trunk line pro-
| position was that the state of Yer
mont could not afford to build stone
| mense expense of keeping them in
repair after they are constructed.
| Mr.. Vail also stated that the stone
roads of England and New Jersey
were not so good roads to ride over
as the Vermont roads today owing
to the holes that always form in stone
| roads.
With the testimony of such prac-
teal men as those quoted above be-
fore them, the people of Vermont
should be very slow to involve the
state in heavy indebtedness for
roads it cannot afford to build or
maintain and which make very poor
roads unless very thoroughly cared
/ for. To our mind it seems much
more desirable for the state to con-
ening portions of the highway where
needed, rebuilding such sections
where the soil will not make good
! roadway and adopt methods that
| will enable it to keep it's dirt roads
| in better repair. Let's not attempt to
tax the people of the state to build
roads that will benefit only small
portion of the state, but continue
to build good roads in every town
with town and state money. This
benefits all sections of the state and
gives the people all the good roads
| they are willing to pay for. Yer
mont is getting good results with
out indebtedness from its present
road policy and with the experience
acquired it will get even better in
the two years to come. Let's con-
tinue it for two years more.

the water will not stand on it.
At $50 that night the party sat
down to fine spread at the Avenue
house. When supper was finished
w. j. Bigelow called the party to
order and introduced Lieut.-Gov. L. P.
Slack, who spoke briefly and said he
was firmly convinced that the state
did not want to bond to build trunk
line highways.
State Highway Commissioner Gates
was next introduced and he talked
at some length regarding the present
road policy. He said that he would
not be afraid to have the party take
a circuit, 40 miles long (the same
length as the trip of that day.
