STATE HIGHWAY CONTROL.

1t is long, tedious an at times dis
heartening process, this effort to put in
to effect the proposition of complete
State control in highway building and
maintenance in Vermont
The old policy of local or divided con-
troll, with it's waste of public funds, ne
Elect and inefficiency In construction
and upkeep and dearth Of satisfactory
results, still prevails, ana evidence Of
the futility and weakness Of this policy
Is found in the protests that appear at
frequent intervals in the state press.
For instance the Burlington Clipper
of last week contained a strong editorial
upon this subject. The Clipper article
opens with n reference to the Renning-
ton Banners wrathful condemnation OF
highways leading from burlington to the
adjoining towns, and declares that the
same condition exists about Bennington.
The sO-called lower road is instanced
as a disgrace to Burlington and In its
present condition an injury to the city.
The Clipper finds the local road commits
sioner system responsible for the unsatis-
factory results and for the conditions
described, and says;
1.-THE highway problem in Vermont is
not local or town issue--it Is State
question and should be handled from one
directing head or board. Centralize the
entire highway work of all the towns
and cities in one department and then
there would be efficiency in highway and
street work. Get politics out of road i'm
provement Better streets, better high
ways are of vastly more Importance to
the State than the mere success of Tom
Jones or Bill Sweeney as highway com
missioner of Goshen"
This is In line with the doctrine which
the Standard has been preaching for
years and which this paper firmly believes

MONEY IN GOOD TASTE.
A Woman Who Capitalized Her Sense
of the Beautiful.

A woman's good taste is part Of her
stock in trade and could be made much
more widely remunerative than 1t
now Is.
One would naturally suppose that the
success OF an auction depended mainly
upon the wit and skill Of the auction
eer. A prominent auction house In New
York city has discovered that a wom-
ans good taste In showing UP things
artistically, or in their true relations,
or with n suggested use, is QUITE as val
liable an asset as q volube auctioneer.
For example. in a sale Of oriental
goods wte some handsome old bird
cages, wonderful creations IL tortoise
shell, black lacquer, ivory ind jade.
There were seven cages I'm all, and so
spirited was the bidding that they
brought prices ranging from $40 to
800.
The thing that did II was not any
thing said or done by the auctioneer,
but the fact that In anticipat ton Of the
sale there had been put In each cage a
pair Of singing and twittering birds ex-
actly suited In color to the cages In
which they were placed. Cages and
birds made n symphony OF coh.1. With
out the birds in them the CAGES would
not have brought hnlf thu prscc. Who
but woman would have thought Of 1t :?
The same auction house has found
that suitable and artistic arrange
ment Of goods, all under the deft hand
of its woman specialist, adds many
dollars to the sales.-Leslie's.

church and the prevailing influence he
leaves upon the community where he
resides; for no church can be sue
cess or force for Christ until it be-
comes inbued with the spirit, and be-
comes spiritually minded; therefore it
cannot become living spiritual force
unless its head or pastor is truly a
man of God and baptised with the
Holy Spirit. Hence, its success as
church to bring men to Christ de-
ponds wholly upon the pastor as its
head and the layity working in
unison both filled with the spirit and
power of God. Again the power of
the man engaged is largely judged
and the success of his church assured
by the recognized influence he exerts
over his fellows with whom he daily
comes in contact.
That the Free Methodist church in
Deer Flat has been supervised for the
past year by such a man in the per
son of Brother James Sprague. and
that it has thus been spiritualized be-
yond measure, and that its success,
assured by many accessionS thereto,
is indisputable, and that the impress
he left upon the community for
Righteousness and Holiness will be
as lasting as time and enduring as
Eternity.
AS a Preacher of Righteousness.
like Paul, he declared the whole
counsel of God without fear or favor
of man, as he saw it in the light OF
Gods revealed truth, holding tenac-
uousiy to the olds tenetS of Wesley
fiercely, combating and condemning
sin wherever seen and whenever
found. If he chided oft it was ever in
humility and the spirit of love. to the
edifying of the church and all to the
honor and glory of God Thus he
became a power for Righteousness
and God in our midst by his ever in
cessent prayers, his whole soul be-
came a flame of impassionate glory, at
times in his passion for souls drift
ing into Enternity unsaved. his labors
were untiring incessant; so great
was his zeal for the salvation of men,
to labor to that end became his SUI
preme delight; loosing all sight of
