A Sensible Policy.

State Highway Commissioner Chas
W. Gates has sent letter to the first
selectman OF each town In the State,
In which he says:
Il want to call your attention to one
or two matters that believe are be-
Ing neglected In almost every town in
the State-matters that the law re-
Quires the selectmen to look after.
THE frat is the cutting OF bushes
beside the highway. and the law
places the supervision Of the cutting
OF these bushes on these selected
highways in the hands of the State
officers.
II wish you would at once look over
the main highways OF your town and
see that the bushes are cut back
promptly 80 that they will not inter
fere with the highway In any way.
Cut them back especially on the bad
turns that make the road dangerous
In meeting automobiles; this is es-
pecially essential for the safety OF the
man driving the horse. In doing this
however, be very careful to preserve
every shade tree that stands a proper
distance back from the highway that
will add to the beauty OF the highway
no matter how small the tree may be.
Caution along this line will. after
while, make Vermonts highways the
talk OF the world and hope you will
cooperate with us in trying to beau
tify the highways just as fast as
possible. You will also look out for
the cutting OF bushes on your town
roads as the law requires you TO do.
Another suggestion ! wish 10 make
Is the matter OF erecting proper sign
boards to direct the traveller ! find
IN many towns an abundance OF these
signs that causes any amount OF in
convenience. other towns have done
splendidly. and are causing great
deal OF favorable comment. II you
have not already attended to this
matter. please do so promptly, as con-
ditlons OF travel are changing very
rapidly and the need Of these signs
Is more imperative today than II ever
was"
In very many towns one OF two
things has happened. Either the

crowded out into the road or every
green thing between the wheel track
and the fence has been cut. The
State il fortunate In having az the
head OF its highways system a man
who appreciates the beauty and the
value OF shade trees, and who Issues
his directions according TO his ideas
and his ideals. II this policy had
been pursued for the past fifty years
by this time most OF our Vermont
roads would have been beautifully
shaded.
Almost every person who has occa
sion TO drive over our highways II
summer draws long sigh Of relie
when a shady stretch OF road is reacl

The matter OF guide boards is on'

Expensive "eettIng Even"

Champ Clark was hardly playing
the broad.minded statesman when, in
his rather acrimonious discussion Of
the presidents attitude toward tariff
legislation. he threatened to cut off
the source of supplies by which the
Presidents tariff board is maintained.
That may appear to one in rather
excited state Of mind to be getting
even" with Mr.. Taft, but In reality 1t
is doing an injury to the public SER
vcie and the American people who
have arrived at that stage of politi-
cal development where they want the
tariff taken out Of politics and its
occasional revision conducted under
the advice and counsel OF a scientific
board in permanent commission and
daily study OF the question from a
non-partisan viewpoint. To upset the
presidents first move toward the at
tainlnent OF this much to be desired
public benefit just because OF a polit-
zeal quarrel with him, is simply cut.

asornt Baseball slanaIs.

"Perhaps you never realized that
there Is an exact science in coaching
and signaling" says Hugh s. Fuller
ton. writing on the secret tricks OF
baseball coaching in the American
Magazine; that the two men out there
near first and third bases. who seem
to be making fools OF themselves or
trying to annoy the majestic man in
blue serge. are the wigwag men sig
mailing TO runners or batters just what
the general sitting on the bench wants
them to try to do. Sometimes the gen.
eral Ii on the lines himself. looking
Just as foolish as the wigwag men or
more so, but somewhere. hidden In his
meaningless or hackneyed phrases or
his wild gestures, there is a meaning.
he Is telling the batter not to bit the
next ball or to bunt It or informing
him that the next will be straight
fast ball and at the same time inform
ing the base runner that the batter In
tends to hit and that he must start
at top speed when the pitcher starts to
wind up"
