Those who are inclined to the opin-

in the consideration of nonsensicaI

won III the election returns of last |
November, when the delegates to the
constitutional convention of New York
state were chosen by popular vote.
The honor has fallen to few men to
serve twice in such a position; but Mr..
Root was member of the convention
which codified and established the
present system of New York laws, and
1t was the good service which he rem
dered IN that capacity which made it
practically fore9one conclusion that
he would be selected to revise the
state 5 constitution.
1t Is unnecessary to attempt to de-
scribe, in detail, the great and lasting
service, which Mr.. Root has performed
for his country in the many positions
OF high honor and grave responsibility,
that he has held since he entered pub
| lie life as the district attorney of
! New York city, thirty odd years ago.
In the cabinets of President Mckinley
and of President Roosevelt, Elihu Root
was the leading figure, without any
question. To both Presidents he was a
faithful friend and a wise counsellor.
In both administrations his achieve
ments reflected credit upon the record
of the national governments. In two
negotiations of his day, the Alaskan
boundary dispute and the serious prob
lem of the Newfoundland fisheries, his
acumen, his broad knowledge of inter
national law, and his thorough fair
ness, combined with sound reasoning,
brought a peaceful end to issues which
had threatened serious differences be-
tween two great Anglo-Saxon nations.
The influence OF Mr.. Root 5 states
, manship, too, in pan-American affairs
can be estimated fairly, perhaps, only
by future generation. The import
tance and magnitude OF his quiet. order
", benefieent influence in Latin Ameri
can affairs have never been appraised
at their full value, as vet, by this gen
Grafton. We should not have been com
PEELED to witness the present hopeless
muddle IN Mexico, certainly, if Elihu
Root, rather than the itineraut Bryan
had held the portfolio of he state

able tact. his ability to see into thc

his steadfast and unfaiing courage t

and to hold unswcrvingly TO a patriot,

things were as typical of Secretary

from Mr.. Bryan :.
In the refusal of Mr.. Root to serv,
Y longer in the senate, the whole nation
sustains a loss. The people of his owl

Children and Gardening.
Bennington Banner.)

Barre school children are going to raise
garden truck this year. With the assist
ance of the Barre Woman's club an extern
slve garden movement has been started in
the public schools and free seeds have al
ready been distributed. As soon as the
frost leaves the ground the school children
and their instructors will get busy.
The project Is another feature in the big
scheme of keeping the minds of boys and
girls occupied in healthy manner during
a portion of the time when they are not
engaged with their studies. A boy at
work in a garden is getting just as much
exercise as though he were putting in his
leisure time throwing stones at the win
dows in deserted house and a girl can
breathe just as much fresh air while
wedding the marigolds as she can parading
the main streets of the town. The main
thing and the difficult part of the scheme
Is to make the study of the vegetables and
flowers interesting for the young folks.

The amount will reach $300,000,000
within a few years. Highway con-
struction was proceeding steadily but
slowly when the automobile came into
general use. With the increase in the
popularity of the motor vehicle there
has come an increase in interest in the
character of public highways. The more
good roads the state builds the more in
sistent becomes the demand for more.
The building of roads has been SO far
under the direction of the states and
at their expense or that of the minor
civil divisions The only states today
which have no state highway, depart
ments are Florida, Georgia, Indiana,
Mississippi South Carolina, Tennessee
and Texas-seyen states in all, only
one of them in the North. SO well
have the states met the responsibility
that there should be no question of
leaving to them this duty, which is
clearly theirs. There is regularly before
congress a proposition for federal road
building. Does it surprise you that
/ these bills find their chief support in
the South in those states which have
done nothing on their own account?
