SHALL ROAD COMMITS
SIONERS BE APPOINTED?

For several years past there has
appeared annually in the warning for
the town meeting an article reading
like this: ''To see il the town vii.
vote to instruct the Selectmen TO APP.
poin. one or two road commits
sioners instead of electing them by
ballot" In every instance this article
In The warning has been dismissed,
II has seemed TO us for some time
that change in the method of caring
for the roads Of our town would not
be amiss and that instead Of electing
read commissioner that better re-
suits could be obtained if they were
appointed by the selectmen, and dis
missed BY them also in case they fail
ed Il do the work in a proper manner.
The town of Manchester has not as
good roads as il should have and we
are inclined 20 the belief that they
could be made better with a change in
the manner OF choosing a road COM
missioner.
When a road commissioner has been
elected he is practically responsible to
no one for what he does, so long as he
keeps within his appropriation. The
salary attached to this Office is insult
hcient il would seem to warrant any
undue scramble for the position, yet
at each succeeding meeting Of our
froemen the election OF the road com
missioner is the greatest exerciser of
the public mind
Manchester, Of all places III the
county, should have the finest Of
roads but we are free TO confess that
some Of the highways in our town are
about the worst specimens that we
have run across.
A change might not remedy this but
it certainly is we'll worth the trying
for a year at any rate.

We Americans seem to be in some
doubt as to what will happen after
the war" British manufacturers are
not. They have bought twice as much
raw wool as last year. The quantity
on hand is far in excess of visible
needs and greater than could possibly
be used in making war supplies. The
fact is that British factories know
they have free trade market waiting
them in America. In seven months
after the Democratic wool tariff be-
came effective, America increased her
purchases of wooden goods nearly ST.,
OO0, 900, or nearly S3,000,000 month.
The British manufacturer feels that
they are safe in laying in a huge stock
Of raw wool, for they expect the
American people to retain the Demo
cratic President on the plea that "he
kept us out Of war"

that" and who answered, "but sss
where / am"
That fairly we'll illustrates the
present political situation. The re-
publicans are now telling how Presi-
dent Wilson would not have kept
this country out of war, using mum
erous ''buts" and "ifs,' but the fact
remains that the president did keep
the nation out of war and there is no
denying it. He accomplished what
the people desired to have accom-
plished and it matters little what
means we're employed. 1t would
have been an entirely different story
had Roosevelt, now boosting the
candidacy of Hughes. been president
and no ''buts" or "ifs" could have
brought back the lives Of loyal Ameri-
cans who would have been slain and
neither could they restore property
lost. The great central fact remains
Tor consideration of the American
people, that the country is at peace
with the world though before un-
heard of obstacles presented them
selves and 1t Is all due to the far
sightedness of President Wilson.
The republicans, too, are prone to
tell you that the threatened railroad
strike should not have been settled.
Probably not, but it vas the only
solution available at the time, the
only thing that would avert the great
est disaster that ever threatened the
American people since the civil wal
and it was President Wilson who
brought about that settlement. He
and the democratic party are perfect
ly willing to assume blame for the
act, if any blame attaches.
The republicans would not credit
the administration of President Will
son with the passage of the Federal
Reserve act, the Rural Credits law,
the Child Labor law, but it was a
democratic president who recon-
mended and it was a democratic con-
gress which adopted these laws.
Through it all the administration
Of President Wilson has been an ad-
ministratfon of accomplishment and
it shall matter little to the American
people how things have been accom-
plished, just so they have been &C
complished. 1t mattered little to the
prisoner what the attorney said about
the law, the fact remained that he
was in Jail, regardless of whether the
law said he could be put in Jail for
the offense or not.
