A Terror to Criminals,

M. Bertillon's recent successes In the
Identification Of anarchists have drawn
much attention to the Anthropometric
department Of Paris, over which ne
presides. He is the official OF whom
the habitual criminal is most In dread,
for he has brought his system to such
a state of perfection that five minutes
sometimes suffices for the discovery OF
the photograph taken perhaps years
ago, and to which are appended vari-
GUS telltale details, including the dates
of the condemnations which the culprtt
has already undergone. The ease WITH
which this is done Is all the more re-
markable owing to the fact that the
department contains upwards OF one
hundred and fifty thousand similaf
documents. Everything is SO weu
classified that photographs which may
not have been looked at for years are
promptly discovered. Nine measure-
ments of prisoners are taken, and the
men employed in this work are so ex'
pert that It is done in q few minutes
After undergoing this process the cul-
prit is photographed. Occasionally ~
sistance Is offered, but this Is rapidly
overcome. There is no deceiving M
Bertillon, who is ssid to be the special
horror Of pickpockets from the British
side of the channel.

came wagon roads, and subsequently the
pike of modern days. Where there were
swamps the old-time corduroy" with all
its bone-shaking features, answered the
purposes of the pioneers, who met obsta-
cles with plain and homely means, and
without the aid of any consulting eng1-
neers.
The old settler will recall the condition
of that part Of Ohio reaching from the
middle and western portions to the lakes.
1t was a rich and fertile stretch of land,
commonly known as the Black Swamp,
owing to the softness Of the soil. II was
In this section that the early roadmakers
found some of their most trying difhcul-
ties, but In the end they brought the
communities together by passable roads,
It was the fact that the early settlers OF
Ohio SO speedily brought the several sec
tons of the State into easy communica-
ton that caused 1t to rise so rapidly In
national Importance.
Since those pioneer days much has been
done in the way Of improvements, but not
all that could be asked. The lighter vehi-
cies now In use facilitate transportation.
but they are only useful where there are
improved roads. With no other reason
presented, economy alone demands OF the
public improved highways.
In any enterprise Of this sort the ques-
ton of expense is the leading feature.
The repair and maintenance of roads falls
largely upon the farmers. As ciass
they have been willing contributors, be-
cause their own interests have been 90
deeply involved. The agricultural CLASSES
of late years have borne heavy burdens
In the way of taxes for local, state and
national purposes. There is, however, q
future Of promise. The recent political
revolution has called q halt upon admins
tratiye extravaganza. Without partisan
illusions or disposition to lay the blame
In any special quarter 1t has been plain
that plethoric treasures have stimulated
unnecessary expenditures. State legisla-
lures followed the example of open-hand-
ed Congresses, and the local officers of
the municipalities, townships, and coun-
ties have kept up the pace set by the
higher bodies. AS under most systems OF
taxation the farmer paid the big end of
the bills. Now we have heard their de-
,mand for a reform, and II will be en-
forced until relief from excessive taxation
will be secured With national and state
taxes reduced there will be more for each
community to spend around home, which
is always a good place to put surplus
money. With the opportunity thus pre-
sented to improve the roadways without
any increase in the present tax rate, l
think the advantage will be seized upon.
In good roads lies the prosperity Of any
agricultural country, and the better they
are the more Is saved In time, labor and
money.-Senator Calvin S. Brice, In Good

a curious objection urged against
road reform is the assertion that ID Is Q
movement simply for the benefit OF
riders and makers of bicycles. A par
row path answers every purpose OF the
riders of bicycles and II is far more
reasonable to suppose that the bicy'
clers, composed as they are Of intelli,
gent, enterprising and public-spirited
men, have been peculiarly impressed
with the horrible condition of the
roads in their trips through the coun'
try and that they have learned to pp

What ohIo's Democratic Leader Thinks OF
the Road Question-Economy Demandi
of the Public Improved Highways
The present widespread interest in the
improvement of the public highways indi-
Gates the tendency of the people Of differ
ent communities TO become more closely
related both socially and commercially.
The first step in the direction of civiliza-
ton was the creation of means by which
products could be transported from one
section TO another, and the degree of civ
ilization attained in each part of the
world since that time is clearly indicated
in the advancement made in methods for
easy and quick communication.
Soon after its organization as State
Ohio began to take rank with the fore
most commonwealth then comprising the
Federal Union, and 1 am happy TO OBJ
serve she has retained and strengthened
her position among the first with each
succeeding year. Her rapid development
and ensuing prosperity was due to the
heroic and painstaking efforts of her pio-
neers, who in a few brief years turned q
wilderness into one of the most favored
sections on the face Of the earth.
The fret of their efforts was the con-
struction of roads. Through the forests
pathways were formed, which later be-

between a huge steamer and schooner,
who, in avoiding him, were getting up

"Ahoy. Bulldog, ahoy," called the
mate, "stand by to pick US up. We've
got him"
The skipper smiled in an agonized
fashion as he shot past, hotly pursued
by his boat. The feeling on board of
the other craft as they got out of the
way of the Bulldog, and nearly ran
down her boat, and then in avoiding
that nearly ran down something else,

something to say to him, busy as they
were, and the remarks were as monot-
onous as they were insulting. At last,
just as he was resolving to run his
boat straight down the river until he

mate caught the rope he flung, and the
Bulldog went down the river with her
