.CONGREss ON HIs HANDS.

Worcester Gazette.
II will be a mistake, we believe, to
expect very much of this session OF
Congress. It is a body at skies and
sevens. The 912 election is less than
a year away and all parties, Republi-
can regular, Republican progressive
and Democratic, are sure to be too
busy nomination hunting to spend
much time upon business of prime
concern to the general public.
President Taft most certainly has
little to hope for from Congress. II
he gets any measures through which
rebound TO his political prestige, We
venture to say that the thing will be
accomplished either through the ag-
ency of marvellous strategy or through
the working of a miracle itself. Dem
ocrats will be hard at the task of fry
ing their own fish; progressives will
be likewise engaged, and as for the
Republican regulars they are simply
impotent Surely, President Taft can
find no joy IN having Congress on his
hands"

MAINTAINING ROADS.

THE good roads problem involves not only
4 heavy expense in the construction of fine
highways but great expense in maintaining
them. During the present year New York state has
already spent almost $3,000000 for the upkeep
of state, county and town roads and the COM
missioner of highways thinks that under the new
system of having more extensive good roads the
state will be forced to pay annually for manten-
ance $l0OOO,000
The commissioner says that many of the good
roads in New York have been built so that they
are not able TO withstand the constant traffic
Then, it seems, that some roads which are too eX-
pensve have been constructed in rural districts
Complaints reach the highway commissioners
Office daily to the effect that some of the roads
for the use of farmers are so slippery that the
farmers have to drive through the fields or scram-
bic along the shoulders Of the roads as best they
can. A cheaper road would have been just as SER
viceahle and far more satisfactory says the COM
missioner. In other words certain kinds of roads
are suited for different localities.
This experience shows that great care is re-
quired in road building so that the cost of main
tenance shall not he too heavy. But no matter
what the cost OF upkeep may be- it is essential that
it shall be borne. To build good roads and then
let them slowly 90 to ruin is the acme of folly.

VACANT LOT GARDENS.

A FEATURE of particular interest in connec-
tion with the annual convention of the
American Civic Association, which will be held in
Washington, December 49, IA and Is, will be the
outlining Of a program for what will be known
as the Vacant Lot Gardens campaign, upon
which much of the attention of the Associations
workers will be concentrated during the ensuing
year.
An illustrative example of the civic betterment
which may be secured through the cultivation and
Identification of vacant lots in cities, will be Of
fered to the convention delegates in an address by
Leroy ]. Boughner, of Minneapolis Mr.. Bough-
ner has important place in the program OF the
session which will be devoted to discussion of 'The
Communities We Live ln," and he will give de-
tailed description of the results secured during
the past summer by The Garden Club of Mime
apos."
This club in 1911 had planted in vegetables and
flowers 500 vacant lots or approximately 2,225,OOO
square feet, of which 100000 square feet we're
planted TO vegetables. The city was divided into
six districts, about sixty gardens to a district and
each district in charge OF an assistant gard
ener furnished by the Minnesota Farm School.
Each individual having a vacant lot garden thus
received earefnl instruction in gardenng. An
idea of the extent of the work will be offered in a
statement showing that the club gave out $4,000
cabbage and tomato plants on May 25, and there
also we're given out on May / /. $4,000 packages of
gardening in the city that the stores in the same
season sold 10000 packages of nasturtum seeds,
end it was estimated that fully $4,000 to 10000
homes we're decorated with these plants, most Of
which we're in bloom by July T.
With the Garden Club acting as Intermediary,
every vacant lot on Hennepin avenue, one of the
PRINCIPAL thoroughfares of Minneapolis, was
cleaned and planted to grass and flowers. About
600 vacant lots in other parts of the city we're
cleared of rubbish. Twenty thousand feet frontage
= Of vacant lots we're screened with sun flowers or
other bushv plants. Through the influence of the
Garden Club. too. hundreds of private individuals
were inspired to cultivate vacant lots and a sum
mary of the year showed 1000 vacant lot gardens
under the control of the club. of an area OF 40
acres, and $4,000 home gardens, of an area of 1000
acres
II will be shown by Mr.. Boughner that the total
cost Of all the cleaning seeds. instruction super
vision and machinery was $4,000 while. with the
experienced gained, the same work could be dupli-
Gated for $780,

BoYS AND PUsHMOBILEs.

Chester Times.
The pushmobile, the latest device
for juvenile sport, is one of the best
contributions to the realm of enjoy
ment, because it is the outcome OF
juvenile invention, while its use
whether In the competition Of races, or
the mere run on the smooth streets,
compels healthful and blood-tingling
exercise.
As the possession of an automobile
is only a dream of manhood, the boys
have more than anticipated that period
Of prosperity by bringing into being
a vehicle that gives to the juvenile
mind fully as much pleasure as can
be enjoyed by any millionaire who
rides in the most expensive product OF
the shops Moreover, the boys get what
the millionaire does not-a form of
diversion that aids digestion, toughens
the muscles, stimulates the mind and
fits the youth for vigorous days in af-
ter life.
AS all of the boys games involve
competition, the race is the natural or
ganized use of the pushmobile. The
diversion is by no means a tame affair.
In the large cities the municipal gov
ernment exercises oversight of the
races, assigns courses on the streets
and gives police protection. Moreover,
city officials supervise these games,
thus giving a recognition to the
thought that we'll organized play is an
essential part of the work of making
good citizens.

ARE THEY e1N WRONG.

u OR some time it has been known that a vigorous
Il effort would be made by the enemies of Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson in his own state to pre-
vent the New Jersey delegation TO the next Demo
cratic National Convention from supporting him.
The Governor has made many and powerful enc
mics in his own state, but Cleveland did the same
thing in New York when Governor.
The opposition TO Mr.. Wilson has taken tangible
form in New Jersey, and one of the old time lieu
tenants Of the late Leon Albeit and of
former Senator Smith has taken charge OF the
movement. The friends of Wilson will have to
fight and fight hard TO secure the delegates Had
the Democrats carried the state at the recent cleo
tion there would have been little chance of sue
cess for the anti-Wilson revolt.
1t is a singular coincidence that news Of the or
ganized revolt comes shortly after some of cur
leading Democrats flew The Wilson banner to the
breeze in this state. end the question may be
asked whether they have got in wrong Time
alone will tell, but thing is certain that the
fight has not yet been won, if it will be at all
for Wilson.
Although it is stated that letters show an over
whelming percentage of Delaware Democrats in
favor Of Wilson, it is likely that most Demo
Gratis will wish to see nominated the man who has
the best chance of winning, whether he be con-
servative of the Harmon stripe or a radical of the
Wilson stamp. Aud most of the sentiment for
Wilson is probably prompted by the belief that he
has the best chance of being nominated

SOCIETY OF coon CHEER.

II HE HON. WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, Pres
i ident of the United States of America, is now
an honorary member of the Society of Good Cheer
and he initiated himself with smiles and cheer
when he ordered all the flowers showered upon him
in San Francisco, TO be sent to ST. Lukes and ST.
Mary's hospitals of that city.
More and more it is coming to be recognized
that the men and women oonvaleSoing in hospitals
and in boarding homes need expressed love to
help them in the twilight days of health. When
the doctor leaves, the patient begins to find an
added need for friends, and mental consolation;
some get il at home, thousands toss in sea of
despond weary worn, unfriended.
Now these are the days when resolutions come
to our minds and peace and joy take form. In
few days good will to all will reign for one har-
monious day. why not make it a good cheer day
for the people in the hospitals and the GONZALES

creed of the place, send books, magazines flowers,
