a disposition to recognize the rights Oh

A Plea for Good Roads.

Several road-m making machines which
were ordered by some OF the neighbor-
ing townships We're delivered in Butler
last week.
That reminds us that this is the time
of year when some good solid stone and
some good honest labor can be judici-
ously used in improving every yard of
road in the county.
The roads are not 70 be improved for
the benefit of the man with a bicycle
only. Good roads add very greatly to
the land value of the farm, make the
markets more accessible, and save wear
and tear on the horses and wagons.
How much better it would be to drive
into town over a solid road bed than
through mud foot or two deep.
We have seen men working out their
road tax who tried to see just how little
work they could make pass for a day
labor. The man who shirks his road
work hurts himself and his every
neighbor. And yet about election time
that same shirker makes it a point to
ask some 4ayor Of his neighbor which
he does not deserve. DonL Le afraid
to do little extra work ont he roads
You are sure to be paid for it in maay
ways. ID.

The Libel Law

In the House last Wednesday the
first section of the bill to hberaliZe the
libel laws of Pennsylvania so as to per
NIT the truth to be pleaded in mitiga-
ton or justification of the alleged libel
was voted down, and the whole bill fell
with it. The first section simply pro
vided that when a man was convicted
or acquitted of libel in one county OF
the State he could not be prosecuted IN
any other county.
1t is simply amazing that the Legisla
ture of Pennsylvania should exnlbit
such an illiberal spirit towards the
newspapers of the State. OF the forty
nine States and territories IN the Union
