And now come some of the opponents
of Speaker Howe's lieutenant governorship
candidacy with the story that the state
superintendent of education, Mason s.
Stone, is helping along Mr.. Howe's cause
by letting him "new-Vermont" at various
towns. How foolish it is to accuse Mr..
Stone of playing politics in Mr.. Howe's
favor just because the latter's enthusiasm
in the cause of better and more progress
sive state fills him with willingness to
spread the gospel! Mr.. Stone will proba-
bly, play politics as long as he lives because
he is so constituted that he can't help it,
but his activity in this line is not aimed
toward the advancement of Mr.. Howe or
any other lieutenant governor prospect; it
is always and solely for the benefit of
Mason S. Stone. In saying this we are not
accusing Brother Stone of any pernicious
activity Of the premeditated variety. His
service as educational boss has been faith
full, and throughout the smaller towns of
the state has been valuable as we'll But
many of his sincere friends are often
amused at the ingenious and almost I'M
conscious manner in which he takes adj
vantage Of every opportunity to keep on
good terms with those who have a voice
in Vermont affairs.

When Shaw was secretary of the treas

three speeches and thereby showed here
his ability to talk longer than most men

such an artist in this respect that he

Carnegie Trust company thought his

to a conservative state senate) so that
corporations and individuals of world

Newspapers throughout the country are
commenting either gleefully or with regret
depending on their point of view on the
remark which President Taft made in the
course of speech at Chicago Monday.
Before what promised to be an unusually
enthusiastic republican audience the presi-
dent had the termerity to admit the posi-
bility of republican defeat next year He
said: 'If so be it that they (the people Of
the country desire to make change we
shall Loyalty support the new government
under any conditions, with the hope that
it will insure to the benefit of the country,
but with the consolation that if after one
trial the people think they ought to go
back to the old party that has served them
SO well in the progressive days of the ma
ton, they will do so-we can bear that my
friends" Naturally enough this frank adj
mission did not tend to arouse enthusiasm
among Mr.. Taft's hearers, yet We can see
no good reason why it should not have
been made. Poor politics it may have been
from the viewpoint Of partisan managers,
but there is nothing disquieting in the
thought that Mr.. Taft is a poor politician
in the sense that the term is commonly
used. Indeed it would be consoling if
similar thoughts could be entertained
about certain of his administrative assist.

Business men in Lamoille, Orleans and

mendable effort to interest capital in a rail
road line from Waterbury northeastward
through the towns of Stowe, Morriston,
Hyde Park, Eden and Lowell to North
Troy, distance of something like so
miles. Charters granted by the last legis-
lature are available for use land prelimin-
airy surveys indicate that the cost of such
a road would not be excessive. Those in
terested in the project claim they have
made careful estimates of the amount of
prospective business along the proposed
route and are confident that it is sufficient
to warrant construction. They lay particu-
lar stress on the development of the as
bestos quarries in Eden that would follow
railroad connection. Representatives of

Looking Into the Future.

(Randolph Herald and News.)
Some day, when our state highway
department gets fully organized and
equipped, the work of constructing and
improving our permanent roads accord
ing to the accepted standard of well
graded and well drained bed with good
gravel covering, will be carried on more
Systematically than at present. Instead
of few slow two-h horse teams drawing
one or two cubic yards of gravel, often
long distances, throwing it down in the
road or over the improved roadbed
where oman with hoeo smoothes it
out and sits down to await the next
load, the process of wearing the road
down hard being left to time and floun-
dering trafic-instead of this we shall
see well organized gangs of practical
and experienced road builders, with
competent boss at their head, doing
the work largely with machinery. Trac-
tion engines will draw the gravel and
roadbed material, it will be laid down
quickly and steam rollers will lamp it
into place Immediately. These gangs
will move over our main thoroughfares.
from town to town, under direct control
of the state department, leaving the
local roads to the care. of the town
authorities. There will also be an equip
ment for filling the ruts and smoothing
roads that only need this to put them
in excellent shape again. All this is
but little ways ahead in the progress
sion of the good roads idea.
