Mr.. Wilson has dreadful way with

The following reasonable proposition APP
pears In the columns of the Burlington
Free Press, which of late is giving some
careful attention to state matters:
If the people of Vermont want the lat
est and most up-to-date information rela-
tive to the best roads available for this
region and the way to get them. as is
the case with all of us, why not invite
our present efficient and willing state
highway commission and state engineer
to give US in brief form for general circu-
lation theirs recommendations under ex-
listing conditions. We often go cunning
for game with our noses UP in the air
and stumble over tame deer.
Certainly any comprehensive survey of
state highway conditions ought to take
cognizanee of the results Of highway con
struction and experiment, knowledge of
which must be on file in the Office of
the commissioner. In the case OF building
roads under the specifications of the fed
eral government, the experience of the
state should be particularly valuable
The conduct of the state highway de-
partment during the administration Of
Mr. Bates has been under conditions OF
some difficulty and embarrassment Sere
ing under former Commissioner Charles
W. Gates and later as the appointee OF
| the governor, the present highway com
| missioner naturally fell heir to most OF
| the troubles OF two administrations, a
| feature that also followed him into the
| Graham administration. Then came the
| war, and the entire business of the coun
| try was convulsed. Naturally, the prog
| ress OF the new highway work and mucl
| OF the maintenance work was seriously
| interrupted. Under such conditions. nat
urally the value of the work done wa.
much impaired.
| During the present year, there ought t
be some permanent work done on oul
state highways under conditions that
should be of some value in practical dem
onstration of modern roadbuiding meth
| DDS, but meanwhile it seems beyond dis
pntc that such work ought to be done un

emily lays his critics fiat and leaves
them helpless either by doing the very
things they had proposed and doing
them in "a manner better than they ev-
er dreamed of, or else by attaining his
ends in a way that robs their objec-
tions of every point. We are confident
that Mr.. Beck, for instance, must re-
greet the violence of the language he
used in his Lineoln's Day address when
he said that Mr.. Wilson s foreign pol
icy throughout has been black stain
of dishonor upon the American peo-
lple; that "his principles have been
a crazy patchwork of contradictions, -
consistent only in one idea, that the
war 'smust end in peace without vie
tory. If this be just criticism. then
Mr.. Wilson has as his accompliees in
dishonoring the American people, in
constructing ''his crazy patchwork of
contradictions, and in bringing the
war to an end without victory, some
| fourteen nations of the earth, including
the greatest civilized nations. Such
criticism recoils disastrouslv upon him
who utters it. Not even the natural
desire of great political party TO
| find or create "issues'' for the coming
Prudential election can give Judgment
in the minds and hearts of the people
to this climate of Mr.. Wilson s dis
tinguished service.
The day when the project of the COW
cnant of peace was approved in Paris
was one of the greatest in the world s
history. The people of all the nations
understand that; the people of Ameri-
ca, with their horror of war, cannot be
fooled about it, they cannot he mis-
led into any small and narrow view OF
Tits momentous promise. In bringing the
plan of the league into form and ac
leeptanee Mr.. Wilson has played a mas
ter role, every American feels that il
his heart, every American understand.
: that he brought great abilities, ex'
traordinary qualities of tact and per
suasion, and a profound need of al
the peoples to the performance of his
task. The American people viii be i'm
patient of any petty or partisan OBJ
struction put in the way of the accept
ance of this covenant of the nations a
