Government Supervision of Highways.

Government Supervision of Highways.
1t has been suggested hat the American
roads be placed under a system of govern

as the french roads are:
First, national roads. These to be built

and be located with reference to military
and postal requirements.
Second, state rouds. These to be built
and maintained by the several states. and
connect the various localities of%fhe states,
and be planned with reference to the ma

Third, county or neighborhood roads.

WORLDS FAIR ExTRAyAGANCE

The congressional committee now in
Chicago investigating the charges Of
extravaganza against the Worlds fair
management has already found much to
justify its appointment. By invitation
Of the local corporation the committee
undertook the work, otherwise it would
have had no authority in the premises.
The sharp questioning Of members Of
the committee has brought out a fact
which was undoubtedly we'll known in
Chicago, that is, that every detail Of
management is In the highest degree
expensive. The Times, of Chicago, says,
speaking Of the information gathered by
the gentlemen from Washington: "The
congressman seem to be %astounded, as
we'll they may, at the readiness with
which money is placed. The answer Of
the mon expanding it is the answer of
men who would dispose of a fortune in
short order. Everything is upon a
scale of magniticence. Everybody is
magnificently compensated. The guards
are numerous. The help in all direc-
tions is more than abundant. Some
very shrewd suggestions have been
thrown out by these congressman. Why
improve the Lake Front, seven miles
distant from the fair grounds? Why
should $4,000 be paid for railway ter
minals. and part of that sum go to a
railroad company with a capital stock
of s4o,O0O,000 to aid it in the making of
permanent Improvements? Why should
the corporation think of constructing
at Its own cost an elevated railway
within the grounds when no doubt the
privilege Of such constructions could be
sold as one Of the concessions? Why
should the salary list all along the line,
local and national, be as liberal az it is?
The answer generally is hat the work
must ba pushed, results must be had,
regardless OF expense. But, after all,
in the administration of this great en-
terprise that care which a prudent bus
mess man bestows upon his own affairs
ought to obtain. The work is under no
such stress as to be made an excuse for
extravagant expenditure. If the local
authorities will carefully think over the
suggestions they have received in nc
unfriendly way from the members OF
the congressional committee the enter
prise will be benefited. The expendi-
ture must needs be liberal. 1t ought
not to be eytravagant."
The comment of the Chicago paper il
eminently conservative and in very good
season. The necessity for rushing prep.
arationB for this most gigantic under.
taking in the history Of expositions is
apparent and conceded, and for that
reason the highest order OF executive
ability and the most careful watehful
ness of expenditures is demanded. NJ
false sense of economy or inadequate
estimates Of the greatness of the under
taking should be permitted to hampe.
preparations, but on tho other hand til,
success of the fair will be imported b,
wanton extravaganza at this tune.

Jerry Re-Nominated.

The peoples party convention, at
Wichita, Tuesday, re-nominated, by
reclamation, and not single dissent
ing voice, the ''sockless statesman -
Jerry Simpson, for congress. The en-
tire convention was one continuous
ovation to Jerry, who was present and
responded to the long and loud calls for
him in one of the best speeches of bis
life.
The preliminary proceedings were
enlivened by .passage-at-armsb between
Mrs. Lease and Judge Snyder, of King
man, over the question of woman's
suffrage, which Mrs. Lease favors and
Mr.. Snyder does not.
The convention to nominate state of
fcers was called to order Wednesday.
No one but mind reader of Divine in
spiration could have made any certain
calculation Tuesday as 10 who would
be chosen Wednesday. There were
rallyings and stampedes repeated over
and over again on almost any candi-
date spoken of for a position on the
state ticket.
No word has been received from the
convention up to the hour of going tc
press-5:3O p. m, Wednesday. To the
best of our knowledge and, belief there
will be straight, middle-of-the-road
ticket named, which means three
straight tickets in the field for all elect
i've officers in Kansas.
