THE GOOD ROADS MEETING.

THE GOOD ROADS MEETING.
The discussion attending the meeting
of the good roads convention disclosed.
as might have been expected, two radi-
cally antagonistic conceptions of the
power of the state, the one Of which re-
CARDS it as the depository OF all power,
to be exercised in a wise, parental way,
and the other regarding it simply as
form of organization adopted for the
general convenience and welfare of all
the people, with limited functions per-
tanning to those matters OF general well
fare which are common to everybody.
The man was there who would have the
state assume entire control of the high
ways Of the state, create a department
of roads with Salaried head and nu-
merous body Of subordinate officers.
with appropriations from the general
treasury to carry Oil the work OF road
making and repairs, transferring from
the people of the locality the duties and
responsibilities of the care OF the road.
The meeting, however, as is evident
from the resolutions adopted, did not
sympathZe with the views of this eX-
IRENE paternalist, and formulated its
opinions in a series Of resolutions en-
bracing many sensible and wise Sug-
gestioIs. There are three factors in
the problem-if it is problem-of road
construction and repair: Admlnistra-
tration, cost and information. The
present system Of administration
has been tried long enough to deter
mine that it does not produce the best
possible results. LII its effort to avoid
cost it involves greater cost. Practically
all of the tax committed i'll labor applied
to the making Of roads is wasted. When
we add TO the cost OF this waste the i'm
mensely Increased cost of transporting
the products of the farms over its wagon
roads, it reaches sum whose amount is
astounding. 1t is not only the million
and a half dollars annually levied in
road taxes and very largely wasted. but
the loss of time to the farmers Of the
state in carrying their product to market,
because of the poor roads, which compel
light loads, that forms the much larger
item of loss.
The cities have demonstrated that we
cannot have good highways without the
expenditure of money. The country
districts must learn the same lesson.
While it is not feasible to grade and pave
all of the roads, or even to macadamize
them, it is possible to render them much
more permanent and less subject to the
elements than they are now. and where
the conditions are favorable process
of macadamiZing can be carried on
economically and effectively. Where
| the surface soil is sandy and clay is &C
cessible clay surfacing of the road pro-
| duces most excellent results. Where
the surface soil is clay and sand is &C
cessible surfacing of the road with
sand produces good and permanent re-
suits. Facts of this kind would come
under the head of Information. of which
every one familiar with the practical
working of our roads knows there is

with very much weight upon the mind
of this retiring Republican governor.
THE SENATORIAL CAUCUS.

The caucus of the Republican menl-
bers of the legislature last night was
not calculated to inspire respect for Oh
confidence in the party which has the
unQuestioned right to name the United
States senator. The arrangements
were made solely with a view
to permitting the interested parties 10
keep Il watch on the actions OF the
other interested parties, and with no re-
gard whatever to the rights or require
ments of the public. Those having the
matter in charge evidently had as little
confidence in the newspaper reporters
as the latter have i'll the man
ayers of the caucuS; hence the
public would be without a clear
knowledge of what TRANSFERRED but for the
intelligence ard industry OF the re-
porters, who, in spite of the obstacles
thrown in their way, and by the eXer-
else of faculte the lack of which Keep
the politicians out Of the newspaper
business, furnish a comprehensive re-
port Of the proceedings.
AS to the result, it is exactly what
for the past week. Those members
who want to see a long -drawn.out bat
tie and the introduction of methods
which will necessitate the use Of money
are satisfied They may be dlsappolnt-
ed in their anticipation of fight IN
which money will be the principal fac
tor; but if they are, it is not their fault.
They have done all they could to ac-
complish ii.
The defeat of Senator Washburn
seems practically assured, for he Will
probably never receive any more votes
than he received On the first ballot last
night. even should he remain i'll the
contest. which seems doubtful. Had
he been a practical man ne would
have recognized the fact of the
irIeconcilable opposition to him and
thrown his strength to some
man who could have defeated
Nelson. 1t now looks as thoagh it were
too late, and, while no unaccomplished
result can be called safe in politics, yet
the indications OH every hand point to
the elevation of Knute Nelson to the
United States senate, leaving ID. Nj.
Clough to take the gubernatorial chair.

Two hours at the top is all that
can be spared. A delicious repast
with hot coffee claims the brielest
notice, so absorbed are we in what
the upper air is revealing. Sutlce 1t
to say that the billowy ranges with
their intervening valleys and lakes,
the monster heads holding priority
as centres of groups, the near and
far blending in one vast region OF
titanic upheaval make an impression
for lifetime.
1t is nine miles down to the Adj.
rondack Lodge. Over a bold shout
der we pass into an abyss, then wind
into a mucky trail, Glowing our
way through brandy spruces to an
open space, where we turn to see our
guide standing pencI-llke on the
peak we have deserted, waving his
final goodbye. We move down
heavily amid the "hog brake" and
fallen timber. For this long slope
is the pathway of winter blasts
making new trails constant neces-
stv. Not until two-thirds OF the
journey is accomplished and the
knees have time and again wished
they could reverse and climb does
the path become enjoyable. At last
we stand by the little lake which
serves as foreground of the invit-
ing hostelry, and, in twinkling, are
at the office asking for comfortable
rooms and plenty of hot water.
Baths, dinner and a long sleep make
the nine mile jaunt next morning to
Lake Placid a light task. Here a
rest, the real luxury of which tramp
ers only know, is enjoyed to the full.
A volume would be required to set
forth the benefits of one such tramp.

stalk boldly through the land, but
buildings must no longer be erected
to fall down, like card castles, and
someone must be responsible tor
them. 1t is criminal carelessness to
neglect the matter any longer. Laws
governing the licensing OF architects
will probably be passed at the next
session of the New York legislature.
In Denver horror of an
other kind occurred last week
when a boiler explosion wrecked the
Gumrv hotel and killed or manned
three-quarters of the people in it,
This was caused by the boiler being
entrusted to the care OF youth OF
seventeen years, who not only was
not old enough to have such a
responsible charge, but was drunk
withal! Evidence shows that he was
habitually careless in his work, and
in this case the heaviest responsible
ty rests upon his employers.
Other instances have not been
lacking of like nature this summer
and we are constantly hearing OF
narrow escapes from disasters from
similar causes.
The building scare in New York
has directed attention to the thea
tres, many of which are declared
unsafe. The superintendent of build
ings reports that sixteen OF them do
not comply with the law with regard
to precautions against fire, and the
licenses of these places will probably
be suspended until the regulations
are complied with. May the wave
Of reform flow on.

A SUNDAY CLOSING VICTORY.

When Police Commissioner Roose-
welt announced that no liquor would
be sold in New York City on Sunday
a storm of opposition arose from all
sides. The saloon element, which is
still a powerful factor in that city,
had able allies in such influential
journals as the the World and iSun,
while several other papers continual
v criticised Roosevelt and his meth
DDS. When some one told him that
the reform ticket would be defeated
at the next election he said that they
better suffer defeat by enforcing the
laws than be reelected by not entOr-
cling them Gradually the rumsellers
of New York found out that Mr..
Roosevelt was going to have the law
enforced and last week they plead
guilty at Recorder COTS court as
fast as their cases were called up
An unprecedented ally was found in
the Wine, Liquor and Beer Assocla
ton, who unanimously resolved that
the law should be obeyed. ANY
member of the association, says the
resolve, "who shall hereafter keep his
place of business open, in violation
of this resolution and in violation oil
the law, shall forfeit all his rights
privileges, end benefits as member
of said association" Mr.. Roosevelt
has won a great victory agains
heavy odds and the enemy is now OF
his side. He is the most noteworth,
man of the day, and all friends o
temperance have reason for grea
rejoicing.

CRIMES OF CARELESSNE SIS.

The collapse of the Ireland build
ing in New York a short time ago
has directed public attention very
forciblv to the need of more string
ent building regulations. Since the
inquest has revealed the true inward
ness Of the constitution of that build
ing, people are surprised not that it
tell, but that it did not fall before.
1t transpires that the architect who
had the work in charge was secured
for much less than the usual pay for
an efficient man, and that he was
altogether incompetent for such an
undertaking. Eight persons in all
have been placed under arrest, four
of them being accused of man.
