For the mast part we hear of noth- ing but atrocities committed by the men who are taking part in the co- lossal struggle in Continental Europe. Only once 'in a great while do we read of a heraic act. And this is because the rush of war is so great that heroes come and go, spring up in a night and are cut down in the morning with such regularity that no one finds time to record their deeds. Then again there are many men taking part in the slaugh- ter, that but very few can ever gain There be three or four names that will stand out above all others when the great brought to an end and when the peo- ple are searching for their national heroes. But only a paltry few at best. As it is with connecting men with great deeds, so it is in fastening in- cidents. Probably the men who c¢ould record some lfttle episode on the battlefields are killed off the next moment and the world is left in ig- norance of the pretty deeds of chiv- alry and valor that have always been handed down from the great wars to spur on the youngsters of future gen- erations. One of the few names that will live after the war is that of Adolphe Pegoud, the waliant avia- tor, who met such a tragic death in so recognition. may war s , the air while fighting with a German aviator.

It was fitting that Rhode Island’s grand old man, former\Governor Wil- liam Sprague, should die in Paris within sound of the roaring cannon, where troops are ever on the outward trail or being brought in \from the battlefields. For the life of William Sprague was-filled with actic-nand he died- as he lived, in the mi.'# of it all. From the time he took the reins of Rhode Island’s government in his hands, at the age of twenty-nine, until the adversities of later years beset him, William Sprague was ever wher; there was life. Heswas a man amony' men, in the social, political and In- dustrial world. Of‘old Revolutionary stock he knew the value of a fight and was ever ready to offer lis ser- vices. In the Civil war he fitted out his own regiment, at his own expense. It had been his fortune to outlive all his contemporaries, Lincoln, the Civil ‘War Cabinet, and most of the con- gressmén of that time. So, in the passing of William Sprague ‘the last leaf upon that sturdy old tree, that guarded the fate of the nation in '61, has dropped to earth. In his old home in Rhode Island, ‘‘Canonchet,” he was wont to s: Here in the quiet, after monwealth club of San Francisco that the policy of President Wilson and Governor General Harrison is creating a second Mexican situation in the Philippines. In some quarters it is held to be *disloyal” to question a president's conduct of “foreign rela- tions.

The state of Connecticut has now the heaviest debt in its history, but that portion of the debt which is rep- resented ‘in permanent highways is an favestment hearing heavy dividends. The more thoroughly our state is welded together by a mass of per- rect roads, the grealer the prosperity of the commonwealth. Almost every sort of finished manu- facture known in the modern indus- trial . world is produced in the state of Connecticut, and a large part of the raw material especially brass, coal, iron and steel come in from out- side, fow the moast part, and are dis- tributed by rail, by boat, and by motor truck. Practically every Connecticut manu- factory is dependent for all or part of its supplies upon some other Connec- ticut concern. Thus Bridgeport, which uses enormous . quantities of brass, gets a large part of its brass cupply from Waterbury. Bridgeport buys machinery throughout the state and sells machinery throughout the state. There is a constant interchange in progress helweein all the cities. The more this Interchange is fa- cilitated, the better for Connecticut. The railroad of course is doing, and will continue to do, the lion's share work, hut there is a great and ing field for motor trucks, es- ally in the shorter hauls, and here | the very first night. Did you think there was such innocence as that in Ohio ?—Houston. The dye manufacturers who have | been struggling for vears against the | day when they could mcoet the foreign | competitor on cqual terms; the textile manufacturers, forced by the failure of their foreign supplies to ask the up- | building of a domestic supply of dyes, are all urging the necessity of a high. | er tariff if a golden opportunity is not to slip from them. They do not believe that a higher tariff would raise the | price of dyes. On the contrary, they point to the fact that the small amount of American competition, laboring against difficulties for years, has held the price of the German-made article below the price that obtains in Europe—Amsterdam Recorder. Ex-President Taft fulfilled a pa- triotic duty when he told the Com- | in is where the good roads problem fizures industrially. The larger the state grows in popu- lation, the greater the problem of feeding that populace. Already the state farm bureau has announced that there no more abandoned farms in Connecticut. This means that Con- neeticut farm products are finding a readior market hecause of the in- crease in the state’s population, and are | are finding a means of supplying that market because of the improvements roads and motor transportation. Here again the railroad is an in- dispensible factor in all the longer | hauls—but the motor truck is an in- dispensible factor in all hauls, long or short. If farm produce is to go to market by railroad, it must go to the railroad by means of some vehicle, and the preferred vehicle—the kind which i{s making modern farming pfofitable—is the motor car. « Good-roads are the deciding factor in this extension of farm work, and in the bringing of the products to the consumer at a price which at once renders a profit to the raiser, and as- sures an economical purchase to the buyer The motor car has furthermore given Connecticut a distinet class of residents not before available to the state in large numbers. The “subur- banite” who works in New York and lives in Connecticut is an important fuctor in the citizenry of the common- wealth, anq adds much to the wealth #nd prosperity of the state. Here again the motor car, to take the com- | muter .to his railroad station or di- | reetly to his work, Is indispensible, and the good roads are the deciding factor. Then inside the state, the Foed roaq ang the motor car are help- ing to solve the housing prohlem.

As a result, many cf these state highways, built at con- siderable expense, have gone to pieces since their construction, while the debt which was incurred in their creation is still in existence. Others are requiring a heavy annual outlay for maintenance. That road building policy was all wrong and the state is through with it. Connecticut’s road problem will bave been solved when the state is paved with roads of mighty and en- during concrete, such as that laid be- tween Milford and New Haven. Such a road is truly permanent, will far outlast the bonds required for i financing, and will bring in a continu- cus revenue during its lifetime. | expansion ! | s The Colonel’s Opinion.
