Vermont may have been q little
late in plunging into the construction
Of permanent roads but this state is
apparently going to profit by some of
the mistakes that have been made
elsewhere without paying for the ex-
perience. Other states that went
heavily into road building, following
the perfection of the automobile, are
now learning that the methods they
have followed have failed to take in
to consideration the traffic to which
these new highways are being sub
jected. Costly macadam has failed
to stand the test without continued
expense for up-keep and many of the
experts have concluded that gravel
roads, such as are being built in YER
mont, are going to solve the problem.
1t is conceded by many road builders
that gravel stands up under auto traf-
fic far better than crushed stone and
there is no comparison between the
two methods Of construction.

A brief despatch that carried hardly
as far east as Washington or New
York a few days ago announced the
death OF CYRUS LELAND. Jr.. of Kan
sas. Not so many years ago his death
would have attracted national inter-
est. for he was Boss, a real Boss.
when bosses counted most.
His name was listed with those of
HANNA, OpEl.L and FoRAKER and a
dozen other men who aspired TO make
their power felt in State politics and
thus t. influence national affairs. CT
LELAND was an absolute car in Kan
sas. In his reign the imperialistic
idea in politics reached its height. The
Emporia Gazette says:
"Ue named our Senators and made
our laws and gave us our Governors.
And our Senators and Governors in
turn gave him absolute allegiance. He
was our last Boss--,iop bless him
LELAND aldicated in the first storm
of the revolution. He was smarter
than some other political rulers: he
could read the signs. Before we be-
gan making the world safe for democ-
racy we had dcthroned our own czars
and kaisers and had made the United
States unsafe for bosses.
