They Are Not Too Proud to

Louisville, Oct. 1S.-Asserting that
for three years there had been mo pro
lection of our citizens abroad" Theo-
dore Roosevelt is an address here to-
night on behalf of Charles e. Hughes,
Republican nominee for President, as
sailed the course of President Wilson
in dealing with Mexico and his con
duct of the countrys foreign affairs.
1T combined lofty promise and com
plete failure in performance. II con
sisted of words which were nullified
by deeds" he said in summing up his
view of the Presidents course
Entering Kentucky in the forenoon,
Col. Roosevelt delivered more than a
dozen rear platform addresses before
reaching Louisville. Crossing the
Ohio River at Cincinnati, his course
took him almost to the Tennessee
line At Paris and Cynthiana he told
his audiences he was glad to be in
Kentucky. where if it was necessary
the people were not too proud to
fight"
His largest audiences were at Win.

SKIN ON WILSON, S
FINGER TORN BY
SHAKER
President Forced t, Use His Left
in Greetings
GHEERED BY LARGE CROWDS
Made Only Brief Remarks at Stops
Between New York and
Chicago.

Syracuse, n. Y. Oct 19.-President
Wilson, on board his special train, was
greeted by cheering crowds at 10 New
York cities and towns during brief
halts made yesterday afternoon and
last night as he passed through the
state on his. way to Chicago to speak
there today In this city he got his
first glimpse during the campaign of
red lights burning in his honor.
The president refused to make ex-
tended speeches at any of the stops,
but in each town he thanked the
crowds briefly for coming to see him.
At Albany he said: Il am very poor
hand, my friends, at commenting my
self You all know just exactly what
has been done by the present admin
istration and you know just as well
as do how to judge it, so that | am
perfectly content to leave myself in
the hands of the jury"
The presidents hand was shaken so
vigorously at Albany that the skin
was torn off a finger on his right
hand and for several minutes he stood
with a bloody handkerchief in the hand
shaking hands with the other. Its
good red blood, anyway" called out
one man
Last night DR. Cary T. Grayston, the
White House physician, bound up the
injured finger and Mr. Wilson shook
hands with his left hand.

BISHOPS BAR WOMEN
TWO Equal Rights Proposals Denied
at st. Louis.


St. Louis. Oct. 1S.-Women were de-
MED equal rights with men in two ac-
tions taken today by the House of
Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
church.
proposal to give women equal
rights with men in the convention was
sponsored by Robert H. Gardiner of
Gardiner. Mo. A similar resolution is
now on the calendar of the House of
Deputies, and it was pointed out, to-
days action in the upper house does
not preclude it being discussed by the
lower body. Since concurrence of the
two houses is necessary. in the event
the House of Deputies should approve
the proposal it will so to the House of
Bishops for reconsideration.
Establishment of permanent
church publicity bureau because of
the increasing dependency of the
church on the press" was urged in a
resolution adopted by the House of
Deputies 1t is to be acted on by the
House of Bishops. The bureau, accord
ing to the plan announced, is to study
means of getting the cooperation of
newspapers in carrying on the work
of the church.

NEW COLGATEROAD
NOW COMPLETED
AND OPEN
Probably the Best Piece of Country
Road in Vermont
TOTAL COST IS NOT GIVEN
New Section Is Mile and Quarter in
Length and is Macadam Laid on
Telford Foundation.

The new west end road from Antho-
ny crossing to the state line was COM
pleted Wednesday and is now open for
travel j. H. McCusker the contractor
has his men picking up his material
and will do little work for Mr.. Col
gate before leaving town.
This new road is great asset for
Bennington and for this end of Ver-
mont. When the short section in the
New York state side of the line is COM
pleted it will mean high class mod
ern highway all the way from Ben
nington to Troy, Albany and New
York.
The cost to the town of Bennington
has been very small. Three thousand
dollars was raised by subscription and
this added to what the town voted and
the state furnished made $4,000 and
the remainder of the money was pro-
vided by J. G. Colgate who has already
done so much on the road west from
Bennington village. Bennington is
very lucky to get so much for SO little
money.
The road is the best that can be
built. It is macadam laid on a telfOrd
foundation. That is after the grade is
established a foundation of rough
stone is laid and above that are lay
ers of crushed stone gradually grow
ing finer toward the top and the two
upper courses being laid and bound in
tar and OIL
There is no such thing as a perma-
nent road but the grade and founda-
tion of this road are as enduring as
they can be made and the surface will
last for several years and then have
90 be renewed.
Special attention has been paid to
the bitches and drainage which is the
place where most road builders fail.
The length of the new section is
mile and quarter and the width of
the macadamized section is 16 feet.
but the sides are built up so the
available width is about "a feet. There
are no bad grades and shoulders and
corners have been wholly eliminated.
The material for the road came from
Mr.. Colgate's quarry on the road back
of Mt Anthony and Mr.. McCusker
says that this rock is splendidly
adapted to road building.

FOR A COMMUNITY CENTER
School is Only Institution Which
reaches Into Every Home.

reaches INTO every rome
Prof. Peyser. Principal of Public
School No. 39. Manhattan, writes in
terestingly CT his experiences in max
ing "The School the Community Cen
ter" in a recent number OF The Sur
vey
As a reason why the school should
be the community center he says. In
the first place the school is the only
institution which reaches into every
home in the community In the sec
ond place, it is the only agency which
realizes the problem before the crisis
is reached. before the crash comes.
The charities receive the case only
after the lowest level has been reach
ed. the hospital, after there has been
a complete breakdown; the police and
the courts. after the crime has been
committed The school feels the prob
blem before it is too late for the happy
solution.
The school is thus the pulse of the
community Moreover. in this way the
school will be serving its truest func-
ton. that of character development"
were about three times as many cases
of juvenile delinquency and twice as
many felonies among adults as in any
other district of the city. Prof Peyser
and those working with him have sue
ceeded in reducing the delinquent acts
among the children to almost none.
This seems a wonderful record when
it is considered that before, their work
began as high as Is per cent of the
boys in his district had court records,
some having been arrested as many as
eleven times
To accomplish this It was necessary
TO investigate home conditions and as
far as possible to improve them But
most of all worthy things were sub
stituted for the unworthy in the chill
dren's lives Prof Peyser says truly.
The child Graves activity; he must be
doing something all the time Nearly
all the delinquency that is found
among children represents misdirected
