FOR GOOD ROADS.
GREAT PROGRESS BEING MADE IN
THIS MATTER.
All Southern States at Work and
Many of the Northern States
Interested and Anxious.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The official re-
ports of the bureau of Road Inquiry show
an increased interest is being taken in the
good roads movement and that large
proportion of the railroads have agreed to
further the movement by offering very
low rates whenever any general move
ment is started. General Stone. in charge
of the bureau, and who has been spending
some weeks attending road conventions
in the west as representative OF the agri-
cultural department, has returned to
Washington. 10 reviewing the progress
of the movement today General Stone
said: I'm Indiana and Missouri great
interest is being taken in the movement.
Kansas is interested in the question and
is anxious and will undoubtedly take up
the matter and make decided changes in
legislation. Nearly all the Southern
States are taking steps In road building,
either by increased use of convict labor or
by county bonding. Michigan will take
some important steps this winter to make
county roads laws more successful. A
very energetic movement is in progress in
Wisconsin. In New Jersey the state aid
will probably be doubled this year. Mas
SachuSetteS' state commission has asked
for 100000 to eXpend in the conStruc-
ton of state roads. There is opposition
to this. but an appropriation will be
granted. General opinion faVors convict
and tramp labor for road Improvement.
The main idea is to use states prison con-
victS in preparing road materials, work
ing in quarrleS, where they can be guard
ed, and the use Of trampS. county prison

Rich ard Mansfield.

On Wednesday night, at the
Grand Mr.. Richard Mansfield aud
his excellent stock company will
appear in his famous characterize
ton Of Napoleon Bonaparte. This
will probably be Mr.. Manstield's
last visit here for some time to
come, owing to the fact that he is
wanted in the larger cities for long
terms. His repertoire is now so
extensive that he could easily APP
pear in any one of the half dozen
big cities of this country for an
indefinite period. Theatre-goers OF
this city will hail his appearance
here with delight and will proba-
bly, show their appreciation by
way OF attendance at his perform
ance. Miss Beatrice Cameron, who
is Mansfield's leading support, is
woman of charming Characteris-
tics and manners, as well as an
actress OF the highest ability. Her
talent has been one of the features
OF Mr.. Mansfield's support for the
past few years.

other desirable points OF eXpositions for

English Onera.

At the Opera house next Wednes-
day night, January % the Travary
Grand English Opera Company
will commence brief engagement.
The coming OF the organization to
San Antonio is an event of no little
Importance to the musical world.
Many years have elapsed since
grand English opera was last pro.
perly interpreted here and since
the Tavary company is the only
one that will be heard in the Unit

has never been equalled on the

WHICH P
To the Daily LIGHT:

To the Daily LIGHT:
1t il evident from the proceedings OF
the ElmPndorf nominating meeting, that
Mr.. Herff was not the unanimous choice
of the meeting for treasurer. Mr.. Hertz,
or rather the San Antonio National bank,
has been treasurer so long that there is a
disposition to have a change. The fact is,
it would be well if this particular office
had a change at every election. Not that
there is any particular reason to have the
money counted or the books examined,
but Just as a healthy provision. Mr..
HCrff has made good treasurer, no
doubt, but to have man in for life be-
comes mOnOtOnOuS.
Opposed to Mr. HerfT is Mr.. J. J. Stew
enS-we have all known Johnny
from his childhood; that lucky
star rose over his cradle may be a
cause for envy with the less fortunate,
but let il be said TO his credit that TO his
own eRdeavOrs he owes his success in life.
Look at him as a citiZen,-nO public en-.
terprise, no private cause or work Of
charity has ever passed him empty
handed. He deserves an equal consider
alton at the hands OF his fellow citizens.

Yesterday as the Post mail wagon
driven by Private Hutchinson. who was
accompanied by the very popular Mail
Clerk Private Conrad, was returning from
the post office after delivering there the
Post mail, 1t was run into at the corner
of Avenue ID and Fourth street by a red
line Government hill car. The car came
along at furious rate of speed and with
out signal IL hit the mail wagon amid
ships, raked it from stern TO stem, the
shock having turned it, stern on. The
driver and mail clerk, who were occupying
the quarter deck at the time, were
thrown overheard, becoming tangled
among the rigging. The mules
attached to the vehicle kicked them
selves loose. first, however, having pulled
the wagon over the legs and arms Of Pri-
vate Conrad and having implanted seve-
raj kicks on the anatomy of Private
Hutchinson. The S65 watch of the latter
was badly broken and rendered useless for
all time. After the collision the car peo-
pie stopped to see II they killed anyone,
but finding they did not they started off
again in search of another victim. The
question now is who is going to compen-
safe Private Hutchinson for the loss of his
watch, and who will pay the arnica and
porous plaster bills of Private Conrad;
the government can grapple with
the car people for wagon and har-
ness repairs. This is the second
time inside of two months this line has
run into army transportation. The first
time they came near iniuring an ambu-
lance load of sch Dol children.
All indications are in the direction that
the recommendation of the War depart
ment to transfer the prison to the de-
partment of justice, will be carried into
effect through appropriate legislation.
Under instructions from the House the
appropriation committee has inserted
provision into the Sundry civil bill pro-
vidng for the transfer and its govern
mant under the Department of Justice.

Traitors to Their Country.

To the LIGHT:
The man who sells his vote is a
traitor and should be treated as
such. In all countries the penal
ties for spies and traitors is death.
If our politicians did not as a class
make use of the traitors they would
have long ago instituted laws fix
ing a severe penalty upon such
crime. Nothing less than disfran-
chisement for the rest Of his life.
The safety OF our institutions lies
in the vote Of honest people. Trait
ors will also vote for traitors. File
upon the man who betrays his
country. REV. n. SCUHLTZ.
