national lines, the result showing that
the rank and file of the people are not
satisfied with the league of nations as
presented to congress by the president.
In Massachusetts Gov Coolidge's
stand for law and order in his hand
ling of the Botson situation during the
police force strike was indicated by
a tremendous plurality, the governor
elect receiving the highest vote ever
cast for that office in that state. In
New Jersey the democratic candidate
came out on a platform opposed to
national prohibition and won by \
substantial majority. In Maryland pro-
hibition was again an important factor
in the election, and the democratic
candidate won out by very narrow
majority over his republican opponent.
In Kentucky, as stated, the election
was fought out on national issues, and
that old time democratic stronghold
elected republican governor by over
10000 majority.

Thanks wholly to the earnest efforts
OF the ladies who had the drive in
charge 321 names were secured in Oro-
vile as members of the Red Cross last
week. This is splendid showing and
a credit to the ladies who worked so
hard and SO persistently soliciting
membership. 1t is true that many more
names were enrolled last Christmas,
but at that time this district embraced
a large section of the valley. This drive
was confined to the people of the town
and there are mighty few families that
cannot hang out the Red Cross banner.

sent letter of congratulation to gov
ernor Coolidge of Massachusetts upon
his election, and in the same mail re-
peated his congratulations to Cover
nor-elect Edwards of New Jersey. As
one governor was elected for standing
for law and order and the other elect
ed for opposing a newly adopted law
it is hard to reconcile the president s
position, unless there is some truth in
the report that he is suffering from
brain lesion.

President Wilson was generous in
his distribution of congratulations fol-
lowing the election in several of the
states Tuesday of last week. In Massa-
chusetts Gov. Coolidge, a republican.
was reelected by an enormous plural
ity running on law and order plat
form, his election being an endorse
ment of his stand against the striking
Boston police force. In New Jersey
Edward l. Edwards, the democratic
candidate for governor, was elected
running on platform that opposed
national prohibition. The president

Col. Theodore Roosevelt was elected
to the New York assembly last week,
starting out upon his political career
just as did his illustrous father. 1t is

father was, yet he is bright and force

spent several days making ar

low the latter part of January.
On account of the Ford auto

past several months, only II lin

were turned ont and consequent
~ the demand for them could
not be met. Since the war has
ceased the plant is fast assum-

lars by Mr.. McAdoo, have been

Good Roads
Association
To Be Held at Richmond on
January 18th, 18th and
10th, 1910.

Richmond, Va, Dec. % An
nouncement III made of the
eighth annual convention Of the
Virginia Cool Roads Associa-
tim, to be held in Richmond
on January l4th, 10th and 18th.
With the prospects of peace
and the removal of the restric-
tions upon constructions work,
imposed by tho National Gov.
eminent on account of the war,
the question of highway i'm
provement has again come to
the fore. Work of this kind
promises TO. be II most potent
factor in providing suita bile EN-
ployment for our returned sol
diers aud those released from
war industries.
Many do not realize the inn
portunt changes made in the
road laws of this state during
recent years, whereby Virginia
has put itself in line with the
more progressive states by rs
tablishing II estate Highway
System" connecting the prin-
cipal cities and county seats, to
be constructed and maintained
wholly by the state. 1t has nj
80 provided for the designation
of "County Highway Systems, +"
to interlock with the state sys-
tenn in all the counties of the
state, to be constructed and
maintained jointly by the state
and counties.
The method of providing the
necessary fund for the building
of the roads embraced in the
state aud county systems has
been only partially arranged,
and it is generally admitted
that if the roads are not to
be simply con paper" and if the
people of the state are TO have
the benefits 10 be derived from
their use, within the life of the
present generation, il will be
necessary for considerably larg
er appropriations TO be made.
Some favor an increase in the
state tax rate while others pro
pose a state bond issue
The question of the proper
balancebetwcen appropriations,
by the state and county sys-
tens, is a matter that viii have
to be decided.
These and other matters OF
Importance relating to road i'm,
provement in this state viii be
considered by the convention
and resolutions Will be- adopted
expressing its conclusions. Be.
cause of the representative
character of the Association
and the careful though proges-
sive policy it has followed its
resolutions carry great weight
with the members of the Gener-
al Assembly, las has been shown
by the enactment into law of
a large number of the recon-
mendations of the Association.

tion are President, Wade FL.
