Monitor, many who wander far afield
In search of the quaint and old-fash-
Toned might with profit wander down it
as it is today, though most of the land
marks have disappeared, and rumor
says that many of the old houses left
are soon to make way for the broad
road that is to take the place of what
was Cnce known as Church lane-the
only street in Chelsea.
Starting at the Queens Elm. a some
what grOtesque reminder of the ia

royal language commanded, LET this
henceforth be called the Queens tree. -
and also the site of the Chelsea turn
pike where, in 1913, court of guard
was established when the common
council of London, alarmed by the
near approach of the kings forces,
ordered London To be fortified, it
stretches like 4 link between the past
aud the present, to the Kings road,
once the Kings highway, where it cuts
through and narrows down TO the
veritable lane that once it was, at the
corner OF which the old church stands
guard by the waters of the Thames.
Fine Old Houses.
Though little more than a Stun. this
end of Church street Is full of interest.
for there are many old Georgian
houses left, and some red roofs in JUS
tice walk speak of when Fielding.
the novelist, dwelt here. while Law
renee street near by reminds one of
how often DR.. Johnson. in his broad
brimmed hat, must have wended his
way along this very spot. followed by
his housekeeper. bearing the covered
basket, on his way to the china fac
tory.
A little farther on stands the rec
tory, one Of the finest old houses of
which Chelsea boasts. Here, as far
back as 1854, Dr. John King. rector
and antiquary. wrote his manuscript
on Chelsea, speaking of it as "a sweet
and pleasant village situated on the
north side of the noble river Thames
next to Westminster" and here Eliza
beth Tudor planted mulberry tree,
under the boughs Of which the Duke
of Wellington often used to sit with
his brother, the rector.
Almost opposite to the rectory is a
low-ro0fed Georgian building. now
used as motor works, once the stables
of the old Chelsea stage coaches, while
beyond, where a picture palace stands.

village stocks.

Better Roads for Vermont

y & = 49,
Secretary of the Interior Franklin
K. Lane soon will visit Vermont in
the Interests Of better roads for this
state. The subject is onesof vital in
teFest to Vermont; and Incidentally,
it might be noted that whatever inss
provement is made in Vermont cohdi-.
tions is an improvement to the coun-
try as a whole. There are d few
stretches of good highways in this
state; but there are also many
stretches Of execrable roads. Com
pare the cost Of the highway anaintcn-
a.lcc today with that of twenty or
thirty. years ago, and We, find that it
takes several times the amount Of
money now for their up-kcep that it
did in those days. To begin with bet
ter roads are demanded. What would
do for the wagon will not answer for
the automobile. Also, by reason OF
much higher wages and less efficient
help, a hundred dollars will bring
about only a small fraction of accom-
plishment in road repairing that the
same sum formerly would do. But the
state assists the. towns and the ma
tional government is beginning to
help the states; SO, with strong
pull altogether and with wasteful
methods discarded, We may hope to
see our highways not only maintained
but also improved. We cannot legis-
late q man into Heaven; neither can
we lcgislate excellent highways. But
VIC can legislate a system of road
building and road repairing that, will,
cooperation on the part of the people,
and with national aid, will work q
wonderful Improvement in our high
ways 1t is worth striving for, and
we welcome whatever advice or en-
thusiasm that may be impaired to us
by any and all workers for the good
roads Observation-Disclosures Ban

subject, The Truth About Bolshev-
ISM according to advices received
from the Emerson Lecture association,
The Emerson association of Cleveland,
which is presenting Mr.. Ackerman.
has booked him in many of the larger
cities of the country during the last
few months. His Richmond visit will
be one of a number of western engage
ments. He will deliver an address in
Des Moines, Ia. two days later.
Considering the fact that during
1918, and the early part of the present
year he was correspondent for the New
York Times in Siberia, Russia, Japan
and China, there is perhaps no other
American journalist or lecturer so
fully qualified TO give a critical dis
cussion of this subject
Seats for Mr. Ackerman's lecture
will be placed on sale early next week
at the Westcott Pharmacy. General
admission tickets will be so cents and
reserved seats 75 cents. The pro-
ceeds of the lecture probably will be
turned over by the Press Club fund
for the redecoration of the Earlham

Escaped a Sure Thing

The New York World, which recently felt the
sting of the Burlesonized control of the telegraph
systems, recalls prediction of the postmaster
general 1t presents it in the following editorial:
When Postmaster-General Burleson's idyllic
government control of telegraphs and telephones
was comparatively new he wrote a letter to Chair
man Moon, of the house post office committee, in
which he said that the entire wire system of the
country could be acquired by the government in
25 years, without the appropriation of a dollar
from the treasury, simply through economy in
operation and that no increase of rates would be
necessary.
Even since that time Mr.. Burleson has been
increasing rates on the plea of higher wages and
other costs of operation his latest triumph hav-
ing been achieved in New England, where the
margin of profit in the telephone service is so
small that an increase of so cents day to 5000
young women operators and $4,000 linemen has
subscriber
If Mr. Burleson had been popular in congress
it is possible that he might have persuaded that
body to purchase the telegraph and telephone
properties on his assurance that under the wise
management of himself and other government
lownershippers they would pay for them
selves It's failure to respond to his very allur-
ing prospectus is perhaps the most gratifying
result to date of the impasse existing between the
acknowledgement and the legislative depart
