GROVER'S HILL ROADS

Jona- than Thorne and other wealthy people who have summer homes on Grover 8 hill are said to object to having the roads about the hill used by the puhA lie. and particularly the east road
 For several years residents of the Third district have been trying to have the fact established that these roads are public highways. Those most in- terested in the matter were citizens and tax payers in the Black Roc1t dig trict before tie houses were built on Growers hill.
 Attorney Cullinan in submitting hls opinion last night called attention to an opinion submitted by J. D. ToomeE in 1893. The latter then city attorney found that the west road along the property of T. W. Pearsa1I and others and extending from the Beach road to Ash Creek, was a public highway and had been accepted by the city As to the east road he said there was less certainty He could not find where this road had ever been accepted either by the town of Fairfield or the city of Bridgeport
 Attorney Cu1Iinan called attention to the methods by which the thor oughfare might be made a public highway, condemnation proceedfnEsI etc, and he laid special stress on the fact that a thoroughfare becomes Q public highway by general acceptance and use and without particular action on the part of the city.

 For over two centuries the fifth of August was a holiday in England, commem orating the miraculous es- cape from death of James VI Of Scotland, afterWard James I. of Eng land. It was on August 5, 1900, that Alexander Ruthven, 8 younger brother of John Ruthven, Earl of Gowrie, sought an audience with the King, and told him an extraordinary tale of hay ing observed a man burying a pot of money in a field. Young Ruthven declared he had taken the man pris- oner, and invited the monarch to visit Gowrie House in Perth to see him The Kings curiosity was aroused, and where he was led through a. maze of rooms to a turret, and there attacked by RuthYen and his brtoher, the Earl of Gowrie. His Majesty's friends ar rived on the scene just in tineNto save his life, and the brothers were slain. The preceding Earl of ,Gowrie had at one time taken James a prisoner, and held him a captive in his castle for ten months, for this he was executed. It was to revenge their father that the Earl and Ruthven made the attempt on the life of the king. After the two men had been cut into small pieces, and were considered thorough fy dead, the ruler and his savfors kneIt on the bloody floor and thank ed God for their deliverance. Long afterward the fifth of August was eel ebrated as a day of thanksgiving, but the custom has now died out

Mr.. Taft may rest assured that his
tory will place its stamp of approval
upon his four years record as Presi-
dent. In the White House, as in all
other positions he has been called up
on to fill, he has measured fully up to
the highest ideals set for public Off
Gals by the American people. Ever
faithful and conscientious, inspired by
no other thought than that Of duty, he
has done his best.
When judged dispassionately, as his
tory will judge it, the accomplishment
during his administration will be found
notable. 1t has been an administration
of sound and genuine progress. Not
spectacular, but substantial.
In the role of party leader Mr.. Taft
has, manifestly, not been a success
Success in that role Is measured by
results at the polls. And yet it may
be well doubted whether any leader
has rendered more valuable service
