OUR HIGHWAY POLICY.

In an extremely interesting letter to
the Burlington Free Press Fuller C.t
Smith of St Adams. erstwhile ma
tional bank examiner, takes up the
subject of Vermont 5 road building
policy and gives it several telling wal
Tops. In brief, Mr.. Smith thinks that
the state is not getting full value for
what it. spends in highway construc-
ton. He doesn t believe we are 60
ing at the proposition in the right
way, and he believes it would be wise
to spend a bit of money in finding out
what way is right before spending
much more along present lines. In his
opinion Vermont cannot afford not to
spend more money than is being spent
ut present in the construction of
trunk line highways. Mr.. Smith sums
up his contentious as follows:
I [. An investigation by compe-
J tent commission which shall determine
whether or not Vermont is pursuing
/ the right course in expanding a mil
lon dollars ii year upon its highways.
/ > The adjustment Of the string
/
trunk lines in our generation, or in
other words the same policy in respect
of this item as is being pursued by
every other state engaged in the work
of building state roads.
;. Greater permanency by better
and more modern construction.
I. Modern methods of construction
whatever the material may he.
). State maintenance, as well as
state construction.
Is. Adjustment of the town high
way commissioner and county super
visor system,
:. The substitution therefor of ex
pert engineering skill employed anC
directed by the state, and incident II
this the entire appropriation and con
troll of the highways by the state.
There are literally hundreds of PEG
pie in the state who win endorse Mr.
Smith s contentious and who will ap

OF The Fair Haven Era saws it is re-
ported that there has been an improve

censure given Superintendent Morgan
by the legislature may have been the
main reason for this change. As we
remember it, the legislature, or rather
the legislative committee, did not
''eensure the superintendent, but
rather damned him with faint praise.

THE LINEN CLOSET.
Beautiful Floral Designs In the New

Beautiful Floral Designs In the New
Display of Damask.
One OF the most certain tests of the
taste OF the mistress of the house
and. let it be whispered, OF the purse
OF the master-is the beauty and quail
ity of the table linen. Linens OF me-
dunn quality, weight and price, but of
the fine designs, will usually be pre-
ferred by the woman of average in
come, and this season affords such va
riety of charming combinations OF
style and pattern that the housewife
who once begins to buy will be sorely
tempted to spend all her allowance on
linen
Among the simpler styles and grades
one eau never so astray in choosing
the conventional patterns showing the
tieur-de-lis. snowdrops or the plain bar
and checks. These have the merit of
being wholly unpretenious. but al
ways in excellent taste.
For those who buy more elaborate
linens there are beautiful patterns of
tulips, roses, chrysanthemums and
ferns scattered or clustered around the
border on 4 plain background. Still
more effective, though requiring a lar
ger surface for its development, is the
large, many fingered leaf palm.
Perfectly plain satin damask of the
finest quality made up into cloths and
napkins lends itself we'll to the display
/ of silver and crystal Linen with Dor
ders in the MORE or watered ribbon
effect should have monographs in oppo
site corners of the cloth or else neal
the center and in the exact corner Of
the napkins.
The Irish and Sotch weavers con
tinue to show the distictive patterns o.
their native flowers. The English fac
tories put out some fascinating heral
die designs, while the French cloth
are enthusiastically lighter in weigh
and less staaely in design. The Aus
TRAN looms cling to simple but beauti
full floral designs.

A Liberal Proposition.
(Rutland NeMS.l

The proposition Of the Grand Trunk
Railroad company, as made by Presi-

Rhode Island should give the railroad
a2itators of that commonwealth some
thing to think about, at least. Under
the proposition Rhode Island can 90 in

and to have in addition traffic rights
as far north as Brattleboro. Or, the
Grand Trunk offers to rent the road
when completed by Rhode Island. at
five per cent interest per year. The
dual proposition seems to be most
liberal one, and it remains to be seen
what objection Rhode Island will make
to it.
