good roads by an overwhelming

M. Babcock, one man of whom the
state can well feel proud. During
his regime in Office he has succeed

miles of good roads and by his bond

automobile tax pays the freight, and
no burden is heaped on them. On
the other hand we will have the
benefit of these good roads now and
payments are stretched out for

ROAD OPINIONS.

1t seems to US that those who ad-
vocate the highway bond issue have
the better of the argument and for
this reason: 1t will mean that instead
of waiting ten years to complete
our good roads program it can be
completed in two years and we will
have the use of the roads eight
years sooner without one cent of
extra expense. The interest on the
bonds and sinking fund to retire
them in ten years can all be met
from the motor vehicle taxes each
year. Mr.. Babcock assures us that
there will be no need of making any
extra tax levy.
It means pushing our good roads

out any extra expense to the tax
payers of the state.-St. James

gels playing was of a sensational
nature all season long, and many
were the games he broke up with a
lengthy wallop or saved with a
marvellous catch. Cunningham was
used against lefthanded pitchers
and Stengel against right-handers.

manded, Casey" remained in the
game to prove that he could wallop

coast with the reputation of being
a great hitter and a daring base
runner, but one who can learn
