States Highway Problem.

Having entire control of the state government in all its departments the republicans of Connecticut without a doubt will proceed as soon as may be to "reorganize" the highway depart ment. If they have any regard for their own standing in the confidence of the people to say nothing of .considera- tion for, the welfare of Connecticut, they will re-establish the control of our highways on non political basis. It is one of their greatest opportunities as party.
 For Connecticut's highway problem is a real one, and reaches so deeply into the welfare of the whole state that every other consideration should be de- fered for it's solution. We have called for "good roads" for the past twenty years. We have roads that are good compared with those we had at the be- ginning. We ought to have-we have spent money enough on them. But the worst of it is that the money we have spent is only all incident to what we shall have to spend to hold our gain. We have miles-a limited number-of really promising, and we may say per- manent highways in the state, such as tar-bound macadam, only fairly good when laid, and starting to deterioate with the first season. We must do something with that road to keep it good at the point where it's preservation is least expensive. And meanwhile we must find better sort of road, the sort which is ultimately most economi- cal.
 In word, we need to drop all inex- pert, piecemeal, makeshift, expedient, political highway management, and attack the problem in the large way New Haven Register. ,,,,-,.,, ,,,-..-

SUFFRAGE-PRO AND CON
Pro-.

The New London county campaign which opened last Monday is now we'll under way. This is the first time that the suffrage campaigners have at- tempted an automobile campaign so late in the year. All the earlier auto mobile campaigns carried out by the l Connecticut Woman Suffrage Associa- tion have been in the summer months But the c. W. $. A. now has an auto mobile of it's own, and Miss Emily | Pierson also makes use continually in her suffrage work of her own runabout. These two cars are making possible the present New London County campaign, a campaign that could not be carried out in any other way than by automo- bile for many of the towns are remote both from the railway and from trolley cars.
 Six meetings have been held this week already i'll six different towns in New London County. Tonight all three organizers-Miss Emily Pierson, Miss Alyse Gregory and Miss Isabella Sanders are advertised to speak at the meeting in Grange Hall, Lebanon, and tomorrow evening there will be a suf- frage meeting in the Union Hail, at Volunto wn. a, (which Miss All SC Gregory and Miss Isabella Sanders will be the speakers.
