There is special merit in the recon-
mendation Of the utilization Of tramps
for roadbuilding, says the Philadelphia
Press. This would benefit the country
in two ways. 1t would improve the
ROADS and diminish the number Of
trampS. The latter now live on the
country for nothing. They are cur only
leisure class, and they are supported III
idleness by direct taxation. That taxa.
tlon Is levied upon the country farmers,
who feed the tramps, and the city PEG.
pie, who are held up on the street 70,
the price Of a nights lodging or Of a
cup Of coffee.
A class, tramps are simply lazy
frauds, many Of them dangerous ones.
Imprisonment without labor is no pun
ishment for them, and for this reason
most Of the tramp laws are without ter
ror fer the tramp. Let them be arrested
wherever they appear and put to road
making. Under this rule we would soon
have either good roads or no tramps.
and either contamination would be an
unmlxed blessing TO the state.

CHEAP ROADS ARE COSTLY.
Vast Sums of Money Wasted Annually In
Repairing Poor Highways.

The total length Of the common roads
in this country, good, bad and indiffer-
ent, is estimated by General Stone of
the road bureau of the department Of
agriculture a. sornethipg over 500, coo
miles, says The Manufacturer The ma
jority of these roads have been opened
by common iuou.,,s, h.l,u ~ io,ai sd
perviSaEs, and Ho engineering principles
have been observed in their caustruc-
ton. As result it costs more to keep
them in repair than if they We're as

Bad Roads Cost Money.

The authorities tell US it costs the
farmers Of the United States s946, 4o4, :
600 annually TO market their crops with
horse and wagon. Two-thirds of this
enormous sum could be saved if the
way to market was over good roads.
The farmers OF Pennsylvania would be
saved $l2, ,000. These figures prove
the inestimable value of good roads. IN
Italy we find farm horses good and ac-
tive at 80 years Of age, aud farmers there
and i'll France expect farm wagon to
last lifetime. -Philadelphia Ledger.
