Senator H. b. Barden of Wal
Iingford believes in good roads
and according to the Brattleboro
Reformer here are the reasons for
the faith that is in him. Read them
over and see if they appear logi-
cal to you:
GOOD roads mean progress and
prosperity.
Good roads make every farm
and habitation along them of
greater value.
GOOD roads facilitate Transport
tation and add untold wealth to
the producers of our state.
Good roads give labor to the
unemployed, distribute the money
in all parts of the state and save
wear and tear and worry.
Good roads mean better schools,
social, religious and industrial pro-
gress from one end of the state
to the other.
Good roads will induce our
best young men to remain in our
state to develop our dormant re-
sources with Vermont capital.
Good roads mean prosperous
farms. Bad roads mean abandoned
farms and empty school houses.
THE state, county and town
cannot attain to their full share
of prosperity until each and ev-
cry mile has been repaired and
improved.
Good roads reduce the high
cost of living by reducing the
cost of transportation. They would
enable the farmer to market his
produce at a lower price and at
a larger profit
Good roads would bring us in
closer touch with the centers of
population and to the greatest ex-
tent solve the problem of the
Capitalization of our rural schools.
Good roads win invite summer
residents who win enjoy our
scenery and afford home mar
ket for our produce"

EACH PARTY ssEs HOPE.
The Washington Politicians Get Much
Consolation.

Washington. politicians ! in Wash
ington after closely analyzing the re-
suits of Tuesdays election, generally
concede that it somewhat complicated
the presidential outlook, with about
equal advantages for Republicans and
Democrats. Their views are about as
badly mixed as were the returns, but
Aall parties profess to find consolation
in the outcome The fact that local
issues entered into the various cam
paigns makes it difficult to use the re-
suits as 9 basis for accurate forecast.
Republicans say the overturning of
the legislatures in New Jersey and
New York and the character of the
chief magistracy of Maryland pretend
Republican victory next year. Dem
ocrats point to the revolt in such
cities as Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Col
umbus, and innnmerable smaller
towns, and the reelection of Foss in
Massachusetts,, as a harbinger of party
success next year and indicative of
the trend Of the popular mind against
the party in power.
w. l.. Houser, in charge of the
Progressive Republican League, or La
Toilette headquarters In Washington,
made no statement for publication
about the result, but he and those as
ISOLATED with him evidently believe
they see in the election of Tuesday
material gain in progressive senti-
ment

teen hundred infantry and 500 cavalry
of the Manchu First Division, who fed
from Shi Kia-Chuang after the as
sassination of General WI .Cheng,
arrived here and entered the city. The
Legations consider that all hope for
the Manchu dynasty has vanished.
All consular reports received at the
Imperial capital agree that the revo-
lutionary spirit has got beyond con-
troll throughout the empire with the
exception of Manchuria. The foreign
legations have arranged ample protec-
ton for foreigners. The officials OF
the British legation are preparing to
exercise their right of guarding the
railroad from Picking to Tien-Tsin
The temper of the Manchu troops
remains the most serious considera-
ton. The Chinese greatly fear that
they may precipitate q conflict. Al
lowing for recent assertions, 1t is
estimated that there are 1880
Manchu troops.
Prince Ching the acting premier,
stated that the Manchus did not in
tend, If besieged, to defend Peking.
Chinese officials believe that while the
Manchus intend fully to guard against
surprise inside the city, should the
revolutionaries make serious demon
stration outside the walls, the court
would begin negotiations, giving up, If
necessary, all but their lives and &C
cepting such provision for the future
as may be offered.
The city of Foochow is in the hands
Of the revolutionists. After taking it
they wiped out the entire Manchu dis
trict. The foreign. settlements have
not been disturbed, but fires have
broken out in several sections of the
native city, threatening its destruc-
ton. Foochow is one of the most i'm
portant cities of the south, having q
population of 100000. It is the seat
of naval arsenal, government ship
yards, mint, school of navigation
and large dry dock.
The situation in Annoy is quiet, but
a serious state of affairs is threaten
ed, owing to the scarcity of provisions.
Most of the city's supply junks were
captured by pirates in spectacular
raid, the entire crew of one ship be-
ing massacred

Hodgenville3 Ky.-The movement
inaugurated 1--WE years ago by Robert
J. Collier, Of New York. for the cree
ton of a suitable memorial to Abra.
ham Lincoln at the place of his birth
is now an accomplished fact. In the
presence OF q gathering in which
Mason and Dixon's Line was obliter.
atedN impressive exercises were held
in dedication OF the magnificent me
mortal structure surrounding and GOV.
ering the old log cabin in which Abra-
ham Lincoln was born. February IL,
1903.
The cornerstone was laid by ex-
President Roosevelt on the centennial
anniversary aof Lincoln's birth, two
years ago last February. At the dedi-
cation Thursday President Taft was
the central figure The exercises were
held at the Thomas Lincoln farm,
which was purchased by the Lincoln
Farm Association several years ago
with fund raised by popular sub
scription. After acquiring the prop
erty the association proceeded with
the erection of the memorial building
to protect for all time the lowly cabin
In which the martyr president was
born. The memorial stands on a
slight elevation where stood the
original Lincoln homestead. Some
years ago the cabin was removed for
exhibition purposes. but was restored
to its original site.
The memorial building Is an impos-
ing structure of white stone. of classic
design, with giant pillars ornament
ing the front and two sides. The
entrance is approached by a broad
fight of terraced steps.
The dedication exercises were Of a
simple but impressive character. In
addition to President Taft the speak
ers and prominent participants in
cluded Henry Watterson, Governor
Wilson, representing the State of Ken
lucky, and. Robert ]. Collier, who in
augurated the Lincoln farm move
ment.
President Taft said in part:
Few men have come into public
prominence who came absolutely from
the soil as did Abraham Lincoln. It
is difficult to imagine the lack OF COM
fort, accommodation and the necessi-
ties of life that there were in the
cabin in which he was born
The almost squalor in which he
passed his early, life made him fami.
liar with the sufferings thoughts and
sympathies of the plain people, and
when he came to great power his I'M
derstanding of their reasoning and of
their views gave him an advantage in
interpreting their attitude which can
not be overstated
He was not slow, but he was eau
tious, deliberative, attentive, as be-
fitted one who insisted on establish
ing every proposition that he adhered
to by. original reasoning from funda-
mental postulates.
THE diary Of his cabinet officers
show how, under his very nose and
generally with his clear perception of
it, political combinations against his
interest were formed only to=be dis
solved and fall harmless through the
patient tact of this master of men, this
greatest of diplomats"
