Governor Ladd on State Roads.

In an article entitled "a Typical Case
in Good Roads, Governor Ladd, of Rhode
Island. has some common sense views
on the question of highway improve
ment, with special reference to his own
state. 1t is in the country where good
roads are most needed, he says, that
bad ones are found. Occasionally an
enterprising town may attempt to I'M
prove its roads, but there is little en-
couragement for it if adjoining towns
do not take like measures, and in
sparsely settled regions the question of
money is a serious one. The governor
offers this suggestions:
State roads, or at least country roads,
would seem to offer solution of the
difficulty. A glance at the map of
Rhode Island will show splendid sys-
tenn of straight thoroughfare turnpikes
that were laid in the stagecoach days.
Most of the older states have such sys-
tenn, neglected, however, since the rail
roads came in. Put in repair and prop
erly branched, these large arteries would
drain most of the country to which
/ have referred and benefit as well
the state as q whole. In their original
objects and in all their engineering fea-
lures these roads are distinctly state
roads. And | think it would be profit
able for the state to redeem them or to
establish similar comprehensive sys-
tenn. The larger communities would
thus bear the greater share of the bur
den of maintenance, as they would de-
rive proportionate share of the benefit,
the prosperity of all the many smaller
communities directly contributing to the
prosperity of the larger.

An Evidence Of Old-Time Bour-
bOniSm

Mr.. Speaker Crisp evidently has not
strayed very far from continued adher-
ence to the old.time doctrines of the
Southern planters of making their eX-
changes with Europe - sending their
cotton abroad and importing all their
manufactured goods.
In recent speech made by Mr.Crisp
at Atlanta, he dwells on the Importance
of commerce, of the maintainace of our
foreign trade, but not a word has he to
say of encouragement of home manu-
features.
Mr.. Crisp says: Commerce and ag-
riculture go hand in hand" "When
commerce is depressed, agriculture Ian
guishes." Commerce effects an eX-
change of commodities "A protective
tariff is barrier; it prevents us from
exchanging our surplus of cotton and
other farm products for manufactured
goods abroad"
This was said in Atlanta, city that
has made marvellous growth of late
years by reason of the fact that it has
provided tie means of consuming the
cotton and other farm products of the
region in which it lies, at home, and
has ceased to give its whole attention to
providing the means for sending them
abroad.
The Southern planter had only one
SYSTEM: All that he produced was con-
sumed in the purchase of necessary
manufactured goods, obtained abroad
and in paying for the transportation of
products and goods. The Southern
planter was the supporter of the for
eign manufactures and of commerce,
and there was nothing left for him but
poverty.
The South, in the old days, had no
manufactures. Its one industry was
agriculture, and the only thing that
prevented it from utter impoverish-
ment was the fact that labor cost
nothing. Slave labor was like the labor
of other animals-the expense was only
for purchase and sustenance. Since the
abolition of slavery, as one of the re-
suits of the war, and under the uniform
policy of protection which has been adj
hered to for thirty years, there has
grown up new order of things in the
South, and no portion of that region
has been more favorably affected by it
than Mr.. Grips own state of Georgia.
These later conditions, it is true, make
less use of foreign commerce. They do
not require that southern cotton be
sent to the sea board and thence across
the ocean to Manchester to be made
into cloth, and thence brought back
with the stamp of the British loom, to
be worn by those who raised it. Ger
tainly, all this procedure was greatly
to the advantage of commerce. 1t gave
commerce something to do. Commerce
took the raw material of the farmer
and bore it away to distant lands to be
made into fabrics for use, and returned
with it in its multiple forms to be re-
purchased by the original producers.
But who paid for this transportation
Who were the supporters of commerce.
This journeying to far away lands and
return was done then as it is now, so
far as il is practical now, and always
will be, at the cost of the producer
But this is not all: Mr.. Crisp further
says that ''free trade promotes agricul-
ture, because it enlarges our markets
abroad" But how does it promote az.
riculture, when the increase of foreign
consumption and the cost of transport
alton are all at the expense of the
former?

Where the Opposition Comes From.

The opposition to the expenditure of
money to make better roads does not
come from the cities, which would have
to pay nearly all the expense, but from
the farmers. Both country and city
would be greatly benefited by improved
roads. and each should bear its share of
tie burden Of taxation Selected.

Blue-eyed Indians.

Ina mountain village, perhaps a
days ride from Mexico City, lives a
tribe of exclusive and arisIocratic In
dians called ''los Griegos" the Greeks }.
They are light compleXioned and the
majority have blue eyes and light hair.
They dress principally in two shades OF
blue and their clothing is good and
well made and generally ornamented
with the bead and silk embroidery of
which Indians are so fond. Their
houses are better built and furnished
than Is usual among Indians, and
many have planes and other musical
instruments, upon which they play
with considerable skill. These "Grie-
gos'' have no commercial or social con-
nections with other tribes, holding
aloof from even those who live at the
base Of the mountain on which their
village is situated. They raise their
own food, do their own manufacturing,
have their own schools, churches and
social institutions, and seldom or never

The WAY to Rest.

Rest is change. not idleness. When
men quit work and start Ia do nothing
they either get into mischief or go daft.
| The summer resorts are filed with
miserable women who do nothing but
sit around, dress up, eat and sleep.
They get no sympathy, but deserve a
great dead. TO map out a plan of rest
ing is as difficult rs TO arrange a sum-
mer menu-it isall matter of indi-
viduality; the cook calls it taste, and
the physician temperament 4 small
boy will go off with his dog, lie in the
grass and be AS happy as 4 harlequin;
his father viii sit on the string-piece of
the nearest pier and fish or smoke him
self into a mellow frame of mind.
One reason why so few women sue
ceed in getting rested is because they
get too thoroughly ready. Order is
Heavens first law, but il is helpful
and wholesome scheme to drop out of
order without any fuss once in a while.
Baking day, ironing day, sweeping day
and kindred days of torture might be
skipped twice a month or oftener if
the mercury is gavOrting round the
head of the column. Let the family
eat crackers and wear crinkled clothes
for change 1t will be all the same
in hundred years.
There is no rest in a rocking chair

abomination on rollers is conductive TO
round shoulders, bad thinking, hys-
terics, nerves, hollow backs and dislo-
Gated stomachs. The doctors say 50,
the Delstarte teachers say 50, and the
proofs speak for themselves.
''Get on a couch and go to sleep if
you are tired" Sargent, Savage and
the rest of the physical trainers say,
and when you wake up do something" :"
The most restful occupation, these ath-
letic physicians say il the one that ex-
ercises the mind most and the body
least. Mental supremacy is all-eon-
quering. That is why book-lovers,
dreamers and hobby-horse riders have
their own roads to happiness. a lover
of reading is one degree lower than the
musicians paradise. The restfulness
TO lie found in books-''the only things
that live forever'-is ineXhaustible.
The late William Walter Phelps,
speaking to some German ladies about
the various resources of his country
men, once said that 1.-The salvation of
the men and women he knew best and
admired most was their fads." He
then went on To enumerate the studies
his associates had prosecuted ever
since their college days, the club
schemes of the ladies, and the pleasure,
profit and rest he had got out of Ger
man grammar and work on horti-
culture. Instead of a change of phys
icaI action he advocated novelties for
the mind.
Sit not idly resting, saith the psalm
ist. Women think they think, where
as the mind often consumes itself
brooding, grieving, fretting over petty
troubles To this insidious habit nee
die work lends its haneful influence.
