Indications are that there won't
be much controversy over the organl
cation of the legislature next month
The fact that Mortified has elected
Charles A. Plumley to the legislature
makes him the logical candidate for
speaker. Young, keen and quick. and
at the same time with his years OF
experience as clerk of the House, Mr.
Plumley will make as fine a speaker
as Vermont has ever had. 1t is prob
able that there will be no other can
didate. Harry A. Black of Newport
first assistant clerk of the House for
the past three sessions, will probably
be elected clerk. In fact the promo
ton is practically essential as the
work is involved and exacting and he
is the only man in the state
who can take it up and carry it along
without friction. Should anybody
else be appointed it would be weeks
before they would have the routine In
hand. Mr.. Black fortunately is one
of those young men who are credit
to the state and who can be relied on
to give faithful service. One small
reform that The Banner would urge
on the House of Representatives this
year, is that it provide for a daily
calendar showing what measures are
TO come up for consideration. II
would involve only a little extra work
on the part of the clerks and the
committee on rules and would be of
much advantage especially to men
unfamiliar with Legislative affairs,
and practically all the members Of
the House this year are new in that
body.

CARPETS FOR ROADS.

An elastic Skin" Recommended by
English Expert.
/ A lecture was recently delivered by
a member OF the road board before the
| Royal Institution Of London on The
Road-Past, Present and Future" The
lecturer said the problem was to find
the best mode by which a road should
be constructed SO that its surface would
not be broken by traffic, 50 that the
transit might be easier for both pas
! sengers and goods, road which would
| form neither puddle holes nor exude
mud from vehicles and create no dust
when the weather was dry.
One thing was universally recogniZ-
ed-that the road of the future should
be truly bound road In which. what
should be held together so that 1t
would form crust. The lecturer sug
gested that what he called n carpet or
an elastic skin should be adopted as
the covering.
The carpet, he thought, should be

always remaining resilient and com
pressible and so migrating with the
crust of the road that there could be
no shifting OF the surface below.
The advantage OF such a carpet, IL
vas said. would be TO permanently
protect the crust. and Just as a carpet
on the floor softens the step so would
this carpet for the roads silence the
noise and reduce the shock Of rolling
vehicles. II was admitted that the

The interview given out by Clarke
C. Fits puts Rev. Fraser Meter in
a hole that he will have some trouble
to crawl out of. When a man solicits
a personal letter from personal
friend on personal grounds and then
uses an excerpt from that letter as
roorback in the last hours of politi-
cal campaign, he puts himself before
the public in an unenviable light
and especially when that man is a
clergyman and supposedly a believer
in moral obligations. There is also
one other point in this matter that Is
as to the character OF
Mr.. Metzger. 1t appears that so late
as April 20 he was thinking seriously
of becoming a candidate for the Re
nublican nomination for congress In
his district Bear this in mind IN
with what he has SAID
about the Republican party on the
stump in this campaign. However, II
doesn't really matter much for the
votes cast for Mr.. Metzger for COVER
nor were for him only incidentally.
They we're cast largely by men who
his unfitness for the Office
but who deemed 1t their duty to vote
for him in order to indicate their
support of Roosevelt. According to
all reports he has a good record as
clergyman and, even If he has shown
a yellow streak as a politician, he Is
not the first nor the only politician
who has done the same thing.
