Notwithstanding the remarkable prog
ress that is being made in the navigation
of the air, it is altogether probable that
highways upon the earth will be a neces
sity for a good many years. This fact
being true, it is important that we de-
vote our attention IN an earnest and in
telligent manner to the subject OF good
roads in Vermont. The journal is very
much gratified to hear that through the
efforts of the Montpelier board Of trade
there is strong probability that WASH
ington county will follow the excellent
example set by Franklin county, and
take its members Of the general assem-.
bly, on good roads pilgrimage to q
neighboring state, for the purpose Of
inspecting the improved highways to be
seen there.
Among the many important matters
awaiting the consideration Of members
Of the legislature, that of better roads
is one Of the most pressing. The argu-
ments for good roads are too familiar
to need repetition IL is not a question
Of need, but rather one Of methods that
eonfronts us At the outset we start
with the fact that many Of our dirt
roads are much better than those Of
neighboring states and do not require
the same kind of treatment that must
be used elsewhere.
We need some central control of the
trunk line highways. rather than the
local policy, which sees only the need Of
a single town. It is probable that there
are many sections where gravel viii an
swer every requirement, at q cost much
less than that Of stone roads In this
part of the state, there should be careful
investigation Of the possibility Of utiliz.
ing the granite waste for road improve.
ment in other parts OF the state, where
gravel cannot be obtained easily and
where the soil is more difficult to work,
the problem is more difficult OF solu-
ton.
An inspection Of roads good and bad,
a wider knowledge Of methods and cost
of road building in otner states, is Ger
tain 10 be OF benefit to our law makers.
The automobile furnishes quick aud
easy method Of visiting considerable
section Of country in such a mission.
The project is one to be commended
most heartily As The journal has re.
marked before, It would be of great ben
eft to the state If every senator and
representative were able to make such
a tour Of inspection as the one proposed
for Washington county.
The members would be better equipped
by such tour to serve the interests Of
their constituents and to legIsiate wisely
for the good Of all the people Of Yer

sisting the temptation to loaf the
states time and money away. The new
members, because of their inexperience,
cannot be expected to set the pace.
Hence, the responsibility rests upon the
officials and the old members who have
been returned by their towns or coun-
ties. If the session Of 1910 is drawn out
to New Years it will be largely their
fault; if it is concluded by Thankegiv-
ing it will be to their credit. The
amount of business in view at the pres.
ent time does not warrant a very long
session, and the people Of the state
certainly do not expect protracted
sitting of the legislature Let the legis-
lators bear that in mind.

countless laws, at great cost to the state,
whose only purpose seemed to be to
make work for the printer and cause
annoyance to members Of the legal fra

a short session that enacted no laws
but simply left the state to moosey

T. tnot Theodorel Woodrow Wilson,
the Democratic nominee for governor OF
New Jersey, is receiving far more pub

publican opponent, Vivian NJ. Lewis; but
the latter is entitled to some favorable
notoriety as the author of the pure food
act in that state, as leader in the con-
seryatiOn of natural resources and as
being sympathetic with progressive
ideas. President Wilson thinks he has
the advantage of Lewis because he got

BERG NEVER HELD
BOY UP rs TARGET
Was Denounced But Not Guilty Of Tie
COwardly Act.

New York, November 3.-TLe mos
execrated man in New York was
Adolph Berg. He had been seen tc
hold up little boy as a chield against
the revolver of his enemy, thus saw
ing his cowardly life at the sacrifice
of the c.ild's. The papers denounced
him, the magistrate fayed him. His
name became a byword in the great
city.
The most ill-used man in New York
is Adolph Berg. For he was not stand.
ing within five feet of little Charlie
Fisher when TIE shot was fired that
was meant for him, bat killed the
boy. The supposed eye witness now
denies having seen any of the things
he had described to detective and
two policemen; other witnesses testi-
fy to Berg's innocence and the whole
story, in all its convincing circum-
stantialIty, crumbles into notLingness.
Had such a story gained much head
way before the days of newspapers,
Adolph Berg, with all his iiI-used in
nocence, could never have lived it
down. He can never be compensated
for all the unjust odium which he
suffered, but the Injustice is reduced
to a minimum. THUS, even in its mis-
carriages. the modern printed news
has the advantage over the ancient
news by word of mouth.

DEMOCRATS SHOULD
TURN OUT TUESDAY
Georgia Should Show Large
Vote for Congressman.

Newman, Ga Nov chairman
Wright OF the State Democratic Exec
utlye Committee, las issued an appeal
70 voters 70 turn out next Tuesday and
pile up large vote in the Congress
ions, election. Says he,
For many years the white primary
has practically settled all political
contests in this State. and our people
have therefore come TO regard the reg
ular elections following as mere form
alities AS a result, only a small per-
centage Of the registered vote IS US
ually poIled in tie general election.
This apathy is to be deprecated, for
many reasons. Our nominees are en-
titled 70 the compliment Of a fall vote
in the general election. Moreover, It
is a duty We owe TO the party, and at
this particular juncture It Is OF espac.
ial and peculiar importance that the
electorate Of Georgia show its full
strength in the approaching Congress-
ional election For many years past
certain Republican members of Con-
gress have sought, session after ses-
sion, TO agitate the question Of reduc-
ing the South's representation in that
BODY, and in support Of this effort ref
erence IS always made to the light
vote polled in our general elections,
nridious comparison being made with
TIE heavy vote recorded in the North
ern, Eastern and Western states. IN
view of the recent census, ii is expec.-
ed that Congress will, at its coming
session, undertake the enactment OF
measures providing for the re appo--
tionment Of the representation Of diff.
ferent states in that body for the next
decade. Under the new census ii is
believed Georgia will make such a
showing as will entitle her to another
Representative. Yet the apathy of our
people and their lack Of interest in the
approaching election may seriously
jeopardize the chances Of adding a
new member to our list Of Represen-
tatives in Congress.
