STATE ROADS.

We see and hear much these days
about good roads in Vermont. Meetings
are held, experts are invited here to
address the meetings, and large sums of
money are expended on so called perma-
nent highways. After a great deal of
experimenting and much discussion, the
experts have decided that water must
be kept out of the roads, that there
must be foundation and that for YER
mont gravel surface is best.
A little common sense and no expend-
iture of money will enable the average
man to reach the same conclusion. In
1875 the road between East Middlebury
and West Middlebury was probably the
worst in the county for an equal dis
lance and no doubt sustained the
heaviest traffic of any. The town began
that year the construction of a stone
and gravel road and in a few years the
road was changed from the worst to the
best road in the county, and that too,
without any aid from the State and
without bonding the town. Since 1875
all that has been done on this road is to
resurface with gravel from time to
time.
One trouble with State road construc-
ton is that it is too expensive. Large
sums are expended in digging down
hills and filling up hollows. This makes
a road in some respects better and in
others much worse, but it is too expen-
sive for Vermont. 1t also makes many
dangerous banks where one is liable to
drive off and meet with serious accident
and also where the snow is very liable
to blow off in winter and leave the roads
bare.
We are informed that the worst sec
ton of road in Middlebury this spring is
the State road built last year north of
Chapman hill. We did not have this
experience with the roads built in 1875.
1t is reported that the State road con-
structed in Monkton last year has been
impossible this spring because the
bottom dropped out of it. Experts
ought not to make such mistakes. We
venture to say that the people of
Monk ton, knowing well the natural
conditions, had they been given the
money, could have constructed road
that to say the least would have been
passable this spring.

JUDGE GEORGE M. POWERS FOR
CONGRESSMAN.

This paper suggested recently the
name of Judge George M. Powers of
Morrisville as Candidate for Congress-
man to fill the place of the lamented
Hon. David ]. Foster. We were lead
to suggest it from hearing Mr.. Powers
so universally highly spoken of for such
a position. We believe that this is the
general opinion. We believe it is not
too much to say that if Vermont elects
him to that office he will from the start
be the equal to any of the lower house
in position and influence; and in the
natural order of things, when a vacancy
occurs in the Vermont delegation, Judge
Powers would naturally pass to the
Upper House, where he would undoubt-
eddy become one of it's ablest members.

DISCUSSION AND LIBERTY.
From the Outlook |

Only that nation is free whose people
can, and will, freely discuss their prob
lens, and freely form and express their
opinion of public servants.
The old view that the king could do no
wrong, and that public criticism of the
acts of the king was form of dsloyalty
to the nation, was, so long as it pre-
vailed, and so long as kings had real
power, an obstacle to freedom. AS
people under monarchical rule have dis
covered this fact, they have gradually
removed the obstacle; they have either
got rid of the idea of lese-mdjeSt1, or
they have got rid of their kings, or else
they have made of their kings mere
figureheads concerning whom it is not
necessary to say anything, good or i'll.
In free government, therefore, where
there are neither kings nor traditions of
kings, and where the state is identified
not with the ruler but with the people,
the spirit of disloyalty, if not treason,
is to be found, not in those who en-
courage free discussion and scrutiny of
public servants, but in those who by in
timidation or ridicule or sophstry at
tempt to prevent such free discussion
and such scrutiny.
There is evident on the part of certain
newspapers which are subservient to
powerful special interests, or are par
ticularly sympathetic with the strong
and the privileged, deliberate purpose
to prevent or to minimize such free dis
cussion. Either consciously or uncon-
sciously; they feel that such free dis
cussion is inimical to the interests they
serve or to the special classes they
revere. So they denounce as dema-
gogue, reckless agitator, enemy of his
kind, any man who effectively, so that
the people will listen, points out what
he regards as contrary to public welfare

SEED WHEAT VITALITY.
From Sowing Wheat Of Unknown

There are millions Of dollars lost

Scientists throughout the country,
both state and national, have spent

of vitality-has been sadly neglected.
While a high vitality Of seed grain Is
desirable. yet, 1t is not always OBJ
tainable, and the only way to counter
act the low vitality. and obtain a max
imum outturn. Is by increasing the
amount Of seed sown according to Its
disability to grow.

the most common are immaturity.
