A GREAT MEASURE.

Pioneer Press: Mr.. Foss' great
measure passed the house yester'
day. It was bill to prohibit
people from sending flowers to
prisoners. Mr.. Foss had conceived,
from reading the newspaper com.
ments on these mantle stations of
feminine foolishness, that the
practice was Objectionable, at least
to high. toned people like the
newspaper men. If anybody OBJ.
jects to anything there is, Of
course, BIT one thing in the world
to do about it, and that is to pass
a law to suppress it. If you dis.
approve Of yellow dogs, pass law
to extirpats the breed. II you
think it not quite the thing to eat
friend onions, pass law about it.
At least that is the view Of states
men. Ordinary persons might
III dulge the easy going notion that
public opinion might be left to
take care Of all the infinitely mul.
hilarious objects Of somebody's dis:
approval. But your true statesman
must have his statute for every
thug in the world that doesn't
just suit him. Mr.. Foss is a states
man. His name will go down to
history'linked with the great meas
ure that is to deprive foolish
women Of at least one opportunity
to make fools of themselves. But
there are several thousand oppor.
tunities left to women to make
themselves ridic ulous. Does Mr..
Foss propose separate penal
statute for every distinct nantes
tation of feminine weaknesse
There is a great career before Mr..

A Permanent Improvement.

The chief of the board of road inquiry
at Washington is responsible, for the
statement that it costs the farmers Of
the country an average Of over s. ton
to market their produce, nearly two
thirds of which might be saved by the
construction of good roads. The value
of the saving that would result in any
farming state in single year would be
very large. If rightly constructed, good
roads, when once established, should be
a permanent Improvement, SO that the
addition to the wealth of the country
from tha economy they afford would be

Repair of Stone Roads.

Experience has shown that the way to
preserve stone roads is to roll them after
rains with steam roller, or, where that
is undesirable, with heavy horse roller.
The steam rollers can be bought for
about %, 900, and the expense if each
township owned and operated it's own
roller would be slight. Weak tfidRes
are sometimes an obstacle, but it is Ger.
tain that, without rolling at the proper
time, the best stone road is bound to be
destroyed by the sun, wind and wear
and tear. - s5,l ,.-, 5,1., .... ~ 49,. 49,
