: Following right on the heels of the
action of Jackson county in voting
for 100000 bond issue for good
roads comes Walton county with a
vote of four to one in favor of road
Improvement. All this is very praise
worthy as indicating the desire of the
people of those counties to place
themselves in position to share in
the influx of new settlers that is even
now coming to Florida in large num-
berS, and to reap the immediate eco
nomic benefits enjoyed by those COM
munities blessed with hard-surfaced
highways. Having voted the money
for road improvement it is to be hop
ed the funds will be wisely expended
Without a well-defined system no
county can make SUCCESS of road
building. The responsibility should
always be placed in the hands of a
capable, efficient and practical road
builder who should be responsible to
the board of county commissioners
for what is done. Surely by the year
1918, when the next legislature meets,
the solons will have come to the con-
clusion that some method of state SUI
pervision is highly desirable and alb
solutely necessary.-St. Augustine

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.

Signs of a change in the Democratic
situation multiply Mr.. Sheehan, who at
first supposed that all he had TO do was
TO see Murphy, now appeals 10 the peo-
pie" Representative-elect Martin W.
Littleton. who a short time ago believed
that with Murphy committed TO Sheehan
il was useless for him 10 avOw can
didacv for the senatorship, now boldly
nrnclaims his desire. The tradition uf
Murphy's invincibiity is shaken. The
"boss" has had five weeks in which TO
prove his mastery Of the Legislature and
has failed lamentably, 1t is plain now
that his support is q dead weight. Shee-
han goes about the state apologizing for
it and explaining that he can't help hav-
ing II. since IL is his own unequalled fit
ness which causes Murphy TO be for him,
and of course he cannot escape from his
own unedualled fitness. The support If
Tammany is the penalty which prodigious
qualification pays.
His light not having been hidden
under a bushel and Murphy having per-
ceived his extraordinary equipment for
the senatorship, Mr.. Sheehan is unable
sufficiently to apologize for the nature
of his backing. OF these difficulties
Mr.. Littleton has become aware and
starts in pursuit of the Office under
different auspices. The only thing he
has to fear, so far as we can see, is lest
Murphy should regard him as the second
best equipped man for the senatorship
and, abandoning Sheehan, be content
with no one but the next in order. Then
indeed would Mr.. Httleton have some
thing to apologize for! He writes much
better than Mr.. Sheehan does. If he had
q motto that would make him ridiculous
he would keep 1t to himself.

THE GOVERNOR'S LACK OF SUP
Port

THE GOVERNOR'S LACK OF SUP
PORT
The changes made in the highway bill
CARRYING out Governor DiX's plans were
made to meet the objections of the in
surgent Democrats. Whether they Will
render it any more acceptable to the
other critics of the measure remains TO
he seen. Last Thursdays hearing showed
that as it stood the bill had only the sun
port of Tammany. The intelligent ana
disinterested opinion of the state was
arrayed against il. The state Grange, the
automobile associations and all who are
most concerned with the development on
the states highways are satisfied Win
the work of the present commissioners
and alarmed at the prospect Of a change.
All the best Democratic newspapers OF
the state have declined to follow the Gov
ernor. The reason for this is that he mas
utterly failed To make out case against
the present highway management. HIS
charges of extravaganza and ineficiency
have been fully mt and refuted even he
lllllSPll
latest communication to the Legislature.
Against a system which is admirably
successful nothing is alleged but Mr..
DiXs opinion, las a business man. that
il is theoretically wrong, and for the
system proposed in its place no argu-
ment is offered but Mr.. DiX's opinion,
.as a business man. that it is theoreu-
cally right. All the business men in Tam
many Hall agree with Mr.. Dix that the
change is eminently desirable, and few
others.
The proposed change in the canal ad-
ministration, regarding which a hearing
will be held tomorrow. is urged on no
better authority. Governor Dix, las a
business man." says that the Advisory
Board of Canal Engineers is superfiuous
and that is all there is to it. The other
/ business men of the state who pay ht-
| tention TO canals say 1t is extremely
necessary. The Governor has the New
York Board of Trade and Transportation,
various chambers of commerce and ether
similar bodies against him. The barge
canal is an enormous public work. The
system of administering it under con
stantly changing State Engineer and
state Superintendent Of Public Works
is obviously bad. Yet the enterprise has
been carried forward without scandal
and promises TO be finished within the
estimated cost, an unusual result in pub
lie works of its magnitude. The busi-
ness men OF the state hold the common
sense view that much of the credit for
this success belongs to the Advisory
Board of Engineers.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Several articles have appeared re-
Gently calling attention to the extrava-
gsnce Of the modern woman of wealth. but
ignoring the chief reason for the unp-ece-
dented extent of this extravaganza and ir
responsibility. The chief reason is the fail
ure Of the government to make women re-
sponsible citizens of the republic in an age
when industrial development has taken
much of the work of the home out OF the
house and placed It in the factory and I'm
business.
The American woman in the earlier wears
Of the republic stayed at home not only on
account of the industrial life being centred
there, but also because the home was in
many ways more In touch with the outside
world. In these days there seems 10 be a
narrower mental life in the home. and as
the American boss is often a product of the
typical American home, is it at all likely
that we shall be freed from his narrow
ness until the interests OF the home are
mentally broadened? What better way is
there of accomplishing this than by en-
franchising his mother before he is born?
Women to-day say that they are not suR-
fering so much from oppression as from
neglect The Withholding OF the ballot is
an example. In this country at any rate.
