rhe Good Roads NIovement.

Standing out very prominently as
a conspicuous achievement Of the
present state administration is the
growth of the good roads movement
in West Virginia and the activity be-
ing displayed Throughout the state
for the construction OF permanent
highways
because OF typographical condi-
lions West Virginia has been slower
than adjoining states in erecting
much progress in road building, but
there are indications that the pres
ent movement has taken root in
deep soil and in the next few years
there will be remarkable improve
ment for permanent highways.

The Blanket Ballot.

Direct voting and primary elections
have gone to the limit, In the primary
in West Virginia in 1912 the names Of
about 200 candidates appeared upon
the ticket, which was about four feet
long; but as huge as this ballot was,
it was a baby compared with the bal
lot that will be used in the Democratic
primary in New York this fall. This
ballot will be eighteen feet in length,
it will be printed in six foot sections
and pasted together, and will contain
the names of several hundred differ
ent candidates. Eventually these bal
lot monstrosities work their own end.
People Will refuse to handle them and
to vote them. AS matter of fact, di-
rect primaries can only be effective
with reasonably short ballot and a
reasonably small number OF names
upon the ballot-Wheeling Intelli-
gencer.

Sutherland, OF I1ilEins. Il one q the

secured the enactment of legislation
Ia 1908 which was Of material as-
sistance to the plans for improves

later repealed and replaced with
statutes Of more practical value.
Governor Hatheld was nominated
and elected on a platform in which
he was pledged to support the move
ment FOR the construction of perma-
nent roads He is an enthusiast
over the subject, and, with Senator
Gray silver, shaped the legislation
which passed the legislature last
winter.

The Cabell county authorities have
recently closed deal with the Ches-
apeake and Ohio railroad for the
purchase OF the old roadbed OF that
company and similar action may be
taken by the Putnam and Kanawha
commissioners.
The authorities of Kanawha coun-
ty have enlisted in the movement by
contracting for the first three miles
of permanent road in that county
Some dispute has arisen that the
contract price was too excessive, but
this will likely be threshed out sat
tsfactoriIy as Governor Hatfield and
"A. D. Williams, the new state road
engineer. have taken hand in the
matter.
1t is a gratifying fact ana a token
of real, substantial progress that the

rolls around the state will have
made such showing in this respect
as to reflect great credit upon the ad-

The general movement for good
roads Is growing rapidly. Il Is adj
mitted that the automobile has done
more than anything else to crystalize
the sentiment in favor of the good
roads movement. Improved high
ways are beneficial to every class of
people, 1t enables the farmers to
more easily market the product of the
farm. 1t increases the value OF the
farm land. 1t brings people into
