The educated critics of the practical re-
suits of public education complain that
lawless violence continues to break out
just as it did before common schools were
thought of, that lynch law is familiar in
the United States, riots common from Ber-
means of social and industrial regenera-
ton. Even religious persecution, these
critics say, is rife. The Jews are ostracized
in educated Germany and metropolitan
New York, and in Russia are robbed and
driven into exile by thousands. Are votes
less purchasable now than they were be-
fore the urban graded school and the state
university were known?
On the other hand, the least educated
and most laborious classes complain that,
in spite of universal elementary education,
society does not tend toward "A greater
equality of condition. They allege that
the rich man in modern society does not
bear, either in peace or in war, the grave
responsibilities which the rich man of for
mer centuries, who was great land owner,
a soldier and IL magistrate, was compelled
to bear. They point out that wars are
more destructive than ever, this century
being the bloodest of all the centuries. If
universal education cannot abolish or even
abate in seventy years the horrible waste
and cruelty of war, can anything great he
hoped from it for laboring classeS?-Presi-

Don't Remove the Grassy Banks.

The foe of natural grace and beauty is
the road commissioner, whose mistaken
zeal is allowed annually to remove the
grass which seeks to soften the dusty
outline of the road along its untrodden
borders and cutters. This is an ex-
pensive process and wholly unnecessary.
since adding to the dust capacity of the
street is the only service it accomplishes.
the short, thick turf affording no OBJ
struction to carriage wheels. This is
called cleaning up" the street, when
as matter Of fact it only adds to its
dirt.
Bat worse phase of the cleaning up
mania is apparent when the Jealous
commissioner proceeds to remove from
the banks Of the highway what he terms
weeds-namoly, the graceful mantle of
vegetation with which nature ever seeks
to conceal the wounds which man has
made. 1t is interesting to watch the
process by which the devastatiOns of the
road cutter are tempered to the eye by
the beautiful natural screen Of vines
and heritage, which, if let alone, will
soon cover the rough, unsightly places
with a drapery of verdure when the
reckless workman has left behind him a
shorn and barren waste.
After his inroads banks of sand and
gravel are left ON each side of the wide
road, from which every spear of grass
has been banished, the fences stand up
stiff and stark, the rocks protrude from
the soil, the trees which cannot be
felled have their lower branches rudely
cut away, so that their trunks are gaunt
and unsightly, stumps are left along the
edges of the fields. and the soft turf is
replaced by sandy slopes to be quilted
by the rain.
Without wasting an hour nature be-
gins her gentle but tireless work of
Transforming these ruins into beauty.
What can be more pleasing than the I'M
molested edge of an old road, where
hazel and elder hang out their fruit for
the birds, where the fragrant clethra
blossoms, where the wild grapevine and
the glossy bramble climb from tree to
tree, and wild roses and morning glories
brighten the shadows with their smiles:
Here in the spring the trientalis and
anemone make the ground beautiful
with their white blossoms, while the
shad bush waves IA welcome to the pass
erby. AS summer comes the sky blue
chicory clusters there, the milk weed
and the epilobium show pink and pur
pie amid the foliage, the mullen lifts it,
stately yellow blossom from its furry
leaves, while the barberry shows first its
arcs of yellow bloom and later its cora
clusters of fruit, that contrast well with
the great goldenrod and the splendid
purple of the wild aster in the fall.

An Old Story RetOld.

A merchant died at Ispahan in the earlier
part of this century who had for many
years denied himself and his son every
support except Il crust of coarse bread. On
n certain occasion he was overtempted to
buy piece of cheese, but reproaching
himself with extravaganza he put the
cheese into bottle, and contented himself
and obliged the boy TO do the same, with rub
bling the crust against the bottle, enjoying
the cheese in imagination. One day, re-
turning home later than usual the mer-
chant found his son eating his crust, which
he constantly rubbed against the door.
"What are you about, you fool?" was his
exclamation. st is dinner time father;
you have the key, so, as | could not open
the door, was rubbing my bread against
it, as could not get to the bottle" Can
not you 20 without cheese one day, you
luxurious little rascal? You'll never be
rich" And the angry miser kicked the
poor boy for not having been able to deny
himself the ideal gratification.-Casse IS

MOVEMENT FOR ROAD REFORM.
Public Sentiment Profound and Universal.
Organization Needed.


Organization Needed.
The latest phase of the agitation for
road improvement-the calling of g
meeting al Chicago during dedication
week"-was for the purpose of uniting
the friends of the movement throughout
the country in national league for good
roads.
This proposition advanced with some
hesitation by the writer) has been taken
up with great enthusiasts: the call for
the meeting was signed by the most ac-
tive road organizations in the country.
by boards of trade, agricultural societies.
members of congress and others; the
management of the exposition promised
its hearty cooperation, and there is
every prospect of valuable results.
The importance of this movement
cannot he overestimated. The public
sentiment in favor of road reform is pro-
found and universal, but as to exact
methods and ways and means it is all at
sea and brings no practical influence to
bear anywhere. If it can once be massed
and crystallized upon definite measures
it will be irresistible. This can only be
accomplished by organization. reaching
every interest concerned and especially
the farmers.
Heretofore the latter have held some
what aloof from the movement under
the apprehension that the chief burden
of building roads would fall upon them
and be more than they could bear. but
if they take advantage of this oppor
tunity and organize in every school dis
trict they will be in great majority in
the national league and safe from any
adverse action, while they will have the
satisfaction of being largely their own
deliverers.
They can feel assured in advance that
their labor will not be in vain. and that
means will be found, satisfactory to
them, to accomplish the work and dis
tribute its burdens, and that when they
decide what they can do and what help
they want, that help will be forthcom-
ing. Already various plans for state
and national aid to road building have
been proposed and received with favor,
and it only requires thorough discussion
to develop others and decide upon the
best.
When this end is gained, and the peo-
pie speak with one voice, legislation is
easy, and the work for good roads being
swell begun" will be half DONE

A good road costs great deal of
money, it is true, but not SO much as a
poor one. The money wasted on the
wretched country roads of the central
states since their settlement, if judi
ciously expended would have built the
same mileage of roads equal in quality
to the best Roman military roads. 1t is
almost pity that we could not have
had Julius Caesar and his army with us
during the first fifty years of our exist
ence.-Exchange.

GRAFTON the extra expense he incurs in
hauling loads over our poor roads. From
reliable sources it is learned that ton
can be moved on a good macadam road
with but forty pounds power; therefore
it is easily seen how much greater

HUMAN NATURES INEQUALITIES.

The Sort of Consolation n Philosopher
Finds in His Thoughts.
1--WE lost faith in human nature" is the
common expression of many who have been
deceived by strangers or wronged by pre-
tended friends.
81 don't behave in anybody or anything"
says the cynic.
when all is said and done life is not
worth living" say the bruised and heart
broken men and women who have grown
weary of the fight.
Not one in hundred who utters such
sediment believes word of it, No, not
even while it seems wrung from them by
apparently justiiying circumstances. 1t is
the utterance of the sublime egotist. HUI
man nature deceives only those who mis-
take human nature. Having assumed it
to be something it is not, they are disap-
pointed because it disturbs their cherished
and carelessly constructed ideal Human
nature is weak and beautiful and change
able and true, and bad and solid and full
of holes. The man who is conversant with
and really clo,e to human nature is never
disappointed in it. If we are equally good
and true and irrevocably upon the same
perfect plane physically, intellectually and
morally, then indeed life would not be
worth living.
Perish the philosophy which would re-
duce us to that
Life is alone worth living because of its
inequalities, as beauty is worshped be-
cause of it's rarity and strength and good
ness, and riches give pleasure because of
their widely contrasting oppostes. On the
dead level of equality we might as well be
so many senseless hogs in the warm mud
fat, insentient, fit only to eat, lie in the
warm sun and to roll over and die. With
nothing to stimulate love or hatred, with
nothing to provoke laughter or tears, with
nothing to command respect or awaken
contempt, with no incentive to thought
and no use for physical strength, with no
ambition and no development-that is just
what we would be.
Thank God, | say, for the weaknesses,
the strength. the -ooGness, the badness,
the beauty, tie ugliness, the grandeur, the
insignficance of human nature. For in
this unevenncSs we reach the highest phys
zeal, mental and moral development, and
