procity Is the natural outyrowth of our
wonderful industrial development.
Foreign Outlet Needed.

What we produce beyond our domes-
tic consumption must have vent abroad
The excess must be relieved through a
foreign outlet, and we should sell every
where We can and buy wherever the buy
ing will enlarge our sales and productions,
and thereby make a greater demand for
home labor.
The period of exclusiveness is past
The expansion of our trade and commerce
is the pressing problem. Commercial wars
are Improbable A policy of good will
and friendly trade relations will prevent
reprisals. Reciprocity treaties are in
harmony with the spirit of the times;
measures of retaliation are not. If per-
chance some of our tariffs are no longer

should they not be employed to extend
and promote our markets abrOad?
THUS did Mckinley in his last public
utterance declare for reciprocity.
THE broadening effect of the national
responsibility Mckinley had to carry
shows itself in no respect more con-
spicuously than in this change of view
on his part in respect of policy Of
which he had always been the chief eN-

change that he advocated may soon find

VERMoNT,s ROAD PROBLEM.

The latest bulletin of the Vermont de-
partment of agriculture known as the in
stitute number contains a very interest
ing article on Good Roads" by Hon.
Charles W. Gates, state highway commits
sioner. In this he points out that Yer
mont has $4,000 miles of road, Massachu-
sets about the same mileage, and Con-
necticut a trine less. The number Of in
habitants to the square mile in Vermont
is 80, while in Massa chusetts it is $50 and
in Connecticut it is 1856. This fact in
dicates the difficulty of the road problem
in this state.
With the money available for highways
it is easy to see that Commissioner Gates
could not get very far if he began a poll
cy OF building stone roads at a cost Of
from $4,000 to $4,000 a mile. Even the
high priced roads are not permanent The
action Of the automobile upon the best
macadam road is very damaging. In New
York state the high priced roads need
surfacing once in four years and this
work, done with a mixture Of ground
stone and tar, costs $4,000 a mile For
this and other easons it is plain that
Vermont cannot build the most costly
kind of highways. With our mileage So
called permanent roads for the entire
state would cost from s75 900, 900 to $685.
100000, to say nothing of the cost OF
maintenance.
Mr.. Gates finds characteristics always
present in any good road: "a road must
be wide enough for use; a road ought to
be straight enough to be safe and es-
pecially now when automobiles are so
plenty; roads built on our loan and clay
need drainage and some Of them under
drainage; the sharp hills and pitches need
attending to so that the alignment Of the
road Is good; the width of the road, the
grading and draining are characteristics
that are present in every good road,
whether of dirt or macadam" He de-
termined the best policy for Vermont was
to improve the worst places on the most
important roads and for this purpose the
best material to be found in the locality
good gravel or hardpan was used
AS an illustration of the sort of i'm
provement needed Mr.. Gates calls atten-
ton to piece of road in Ludlow where
at the present time. only one ton can be
drawn with good team, owing to a pitch
or two and sharp hill. perhaps thirty
rods long. He proposes to cut down the
hill, fill in a hollow and then make a
good road over which a team may draw
two tons. This is a permanent improve
ment and one that will be a positive
financial benefit to all persons who draw
loads over that road.
Mr. Gates believes that not enough at
tention has been paid to sandy roads
which are worse the year around than
muddy roads. He hopes to be able this
year to do more for the back roads than
ever before and there will be more auto
mobile money to spend on the main high
ways.
With the increased interest shown in
good roads, with the comparatively good
condition of many of our natural dirt
roads and with commissioner who COM
bines expert knowledge with good Yankee
common sense, the outlook for better
roads in Vermont is distinctly encourag

LOCAL OVERFLOW.

Several people in Brattleboro have re-
ceived letters in the "chain" started in
the name of a mysterious Miss Mills,
whose address was given as Covington
hotel, Philadelphia The favored ones
were asked to send 10 cancelled postage
stamps, the claim being made that the
collection of a certain number of stamps
would assure the building of a separate
ward for children in a hospital at Fit
Georges, New South Wales Australia
Hundreds of thousands of letters have
reached the hotel in Philadelphia, and
many thousand have been destroyed after
being forwa rded to the dead letter Of
fee. The whole scheme is pronounced a
fake by the post office authorities, who
have been unable to get any trace of
Miss Mills
A new rule in the traffic department of
the New England Telephone and Tele-
graph company went into effect last week
and the public will be expected by the
officials to follow it in order to improve
the service. For the past few years
numbers coming in pairs have been asked
for over the telephone as doubles" as

to call "two-doube- one" Hereafter
