tanned.

II good roads are to be built, they
must be maintained. The Hampton
Monitor realizes the need of upkeep
in declaring that "a great mistake
has been made in the road making
plan of the Commonwealth in disre-
garding the fact that a fund for keep
ing the roads in order was absolutely
necessary" At the time when the
present road plan was being formu
lated the satisfying argument was
made that, if permanent highways
were built. the counties could surely
maintain them properly. Experience
confutes that argument. for six years
after the system went into operation
it is found that the counties will not
or cannot keep up the improved public
roads.
If the highways that have been con-
structed arc not maintained. then the
entire expenditure upon them VIII
amount to utter waste The State
must. therefore. devise method of
maintenance 50 that the funds which
1t has invested in better roads shall
not be dissipatcd. The Monitor. whose
editor Is an experienced legislator
holds the correct opinion that "somc
means must be devised At the next
Legislature looking to maintenance Of
roads" The General Assembly wiz

Voice of the People
4 Defender of Mr.. Bryan.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-The editor of the Roanoke
Times. in his editorial November s
and 20. is opposed to the Hon. William
Jennings Bryan being recognized BY
Elect Wilson in his Cabi-
net. The editor says he hopes Mr..
Bryan himself will have the good
taste and Judgment to withdraw from
any consideration as part of Mr.. VIII
sons Cabinet, as Mr.. Bryan has been
rejected three times for President; that
Mr.. Bryan's influence in the Baltimore
convention did not nominate Governor
Wilson. as Mr.. Bryan had instructions
to vote for Speaker Clark. Mr.. Bryan
proved TO be an honest delegate to his
constituency and to his State, as the
editor-NOvember 26-says Mr.. Bryan
voted for Clark thirteen ballots until
it was evident that Clark could not
win Then Mr. Bryan saw that Clark
had poIled all his strength in the con-
vention. and that some of the dele
gates were leaving the convention for
their homes, and that the convention
was on the eve of being wrecked like
the Republican convention az Chicago.
Mr.. Bryan took in the situation and
drew the line between the delegates
for the people and the delegates under
4 nd the money power in the conven-
ton. Nr. Bryan said. after he had
drawn the line, as long the money
agents and the ninety delegates from
New York, who represented the cor
porations and the money power. voted
for Clark. that he would withhold his
vote from Clark. It was then plain
to the delegates who were for the peo-
pie that Wf>liam Jennings Bryan had
taken side with them and as soon as
the delegates who Were for the peo-
pie saw Mr.. Bryan had left Clark. the
delegates for the people CONNIE need GO
ing over to Woodrow Wilson and nom
mated him. Mr. Bryan was the only
delegate in the convention that made
the issue TO draw the line in the con-
vention for the people and to save
the Democratic party from being split
ard wrecked. 7 do not believe the
editor and HIS political associates from
Virginia understood M. Bryans rcSo-
luton Mr. Bryan's object was 90 draw
the line in the convention between the
delegates. and the reason he put Viz
ginia in his resolution was that he
saw that Editor Williams and his po-
liticai associates from Virginia were
associating with the milliOnaires OF
New York. and that his resolution
would force tho editor and his political
associates from Virginia 20 show their
coiors for or against the people.

uo,rr; CHRISTMAS FOR TRAVELLERS.

II isn't always the poor who have
tho least fun Christmas. Sometimes
il is the man who is away from home,
a stranger in strange land. with "a
erouch too deep for words, and nobody
10 share even a good dinner with.
Travelling men. for example. have TO
face a lot of lonely holidays and lose
n lot Of the Joy OF home feasts. So

the travelling men who represent Rich
mond
In the first place. they deserve IT. In
the second place. they will apprecl-
ate it. In the third place, well. in the
third place. everybody Will have a
dne time. And that is what Christmas
is for.
The travelling man is likely TO be
overlooked as prime factor in the
prospcrity Of a city. He is out on the
road getting the trade and doing the
boosting and spreading the fame and
glory Of his home town. so he hash t
much chance at blowing his own horn
He does not get much publicity him

IT for his goods and his town. lie
isn't the snowy flowers OF the Dusi-
ness tree. but he is the vital roots
that run out in all directions to get
tho nourishment that supports the
whole plant. When he does get home,
then. for a week at Christmas say.
II is up 10 the home-stayers 10 see
that he is repaid for some Of those
long jumps in a day coach. and those
barren Sundays in the tank towns
with nothing to do but write lone
some letters home.
The travelling man doesn't get much
home life. His kids grow up without
him: his friends forget his existence;
he lives in suitcase. and gets his
welcome after a hard day from a bell
hoy or a hotel clerk. Yet most OF
them are good sports-with the ready
smile and the quick opening pocket
book 10 the hard-luck story. They
carry the Christmas spirit of faith
and good will along through the
whole wear. 7 cts see 70 - t'at the
home town shows its appreciation.
