AN ABUSED STATUTE.

The Law for the Destruction of Weeds
Along the Highway to be Enforced.
The present law as amended last win
ter provides;
That supervisors of roads may allow
the owners or Occupiers Of real estate to
cut and destroy all brush, briers and
weeds growing along the limits of the
highway on such real estate, and may
allow therefore $1.25 per day and shall
credit the same upon the road tax of
that year assessed against the premises.
1t further provides that the supervisor
after giving the owner or Occupier of
such lands five days notice in writing,
shall between the 10th and 30th days of
June, between the 18th and Both days Of
September Of each year cut all brush
briers, Canada, or common thistles, or
other noxious weeds growing within the
limits of the highway in this district,
and that he shall be allowed not to ex-
ceed $1.50 per day by the township trus-
tees to be paid by the township treasurer
out sof the road fund for all necessary
labor therefor, and the amount so paid
shall be certified uptO the county anditOr
and become a lien upon the land and be
collected the same as other taxes.
1t appears from the above that the
owner of real estate shall first be given
the opportunity to cut and destroy nOx-
Gus weeds and brush growing upon his
land, within the highway, and shall be
allowed credit on his rOad-tax at the rate
of $l.25 per day for time necessarily
spent in so doing, and if the same are
not cut down and destroyed by the owner
that it shall then become the duty of the
supervisor to cut and destroy the same,
and he may be allowed $1.50 per day for
time spent, the amount to be collected
as tax on the land, he, however, giving
the owner five days notice in writing of
his purpose so to do.
The law further makes it the duty of
township trustees, when notified in writ
ing that Canada, or Russian thistles,
wild lettuce, or wild mustard are grow
ing on any lands in their township, tC
give to the owner of the land five days
written notice to cut and destroy such
nOxOus weeds, and if at the expiration
o such five days, the same are not so cut
and destroyed, the trustees shall cause
the same to be done, and all expense
therefore shall become lien upon the
land, and be collected the same as Othel
taxes are collected.

SohNtn'ioh Oh Coloreu RepuDllcanS.
Some time since Congressman Kerr
promised the colorod men of Lorain
county that as soon as he could find
vacancy he would appoint one of
their number to a position in one Of
the departments at Washington. As
there are hundreds of applicants for
every vacancy it was no easy matter
for Mr.. Kerr to find the des red
place. He did not, however, forget
his promise and recently asked the
colored men of the county to select
he man whom they wished to have
appointed to place in the Treasury
department.
A convention of colored republicans
was held in the court house at Elv-
ria on Wednesday evening for the
purpose of making the selection. Mr..
ID. C. Fisher, of Lorain, was chosen
chairman, and Mr.. Geo. w. Hill, OF
OberIin, secretary. Wellington was
not represented but was allowed one
vote by proxy.
William G. Smith, of Oberlin. was
chosen for the appointment ON the
first ballot, receiving nine votes out Oh
the fourteen votes. Mr.. Smith is a
painter by trade and will no doubt
be faithful to whatever TRUST may
be assigned to him. The other candi.
dates were Wesley Davis, of Elyr a.
and Andrew Bunce, of Lorain, both
of whom stend well, but Mr.. Smith
was evidently the popular choice.
Resolutions were passed unani
mously indorsing the nomination oi
Hon. W. S. Kerr for representative
in congress and asking Mr.. L. B
Fauver, chairman of the republican
county central committee, to for
ward the proceedings of the meetings
to him.

soon enough. 1t would be interesting
to have Mr.. Ralph's own views; in the
meantime, however, his work must
speak for itself, and it is sufficient
here to note how forcibly some of Mr..
Smalley's thoughts on modern jour
nalism are illustrated by the pecul-
iarly human and realistic qualities
of Mr.. Ralph's story. The sharp and
quick insight of character, the keen
ness of wide awake observation, and
the tendency to write naturally and

AMERICAN LITERATURE

Among the many cheerful and
memorable remarks made about
America by Mr. Matthew Arnold were
some pleasant observations on our
newspapers, written in letter to his
daughter, when he was sailing for
home. He said: "The greatest re-
lief will be to cease seeing American
newspapers Their badness
and ignorance are beyond belief.
They are the worst feature of life in
the United States" 1t is somewhat
comforting to believe that Mr.. Ar
nold's sweeping and startling opin-
ions were warped occasionally by
violent attacks of insular prejudice,
but his views deserve consideration,
at least, and any comments of such
an eminent critic of life and letters
can hardly fail to be of some sugges-
tive value. The sentences above quo
ted were written ten years ago; what
should we say if asked whether, since
then American newspapers have
grown better or worse? Has the in
fuence of the American press increas-
ed or decreased during a period when
so many papers have joined the class
which we may justly call sensational?
Does their influence make for the
public good, and is it effective in
strengthening and unifying our com
pleX national life? Such questions
must suggest themselves to every
thoughtful citizen with especial force
at times like these, when the nerves
OF the country are keyed to concert
pitch by the existence of a national
conflict
Any discussion of the matter is
futile without a correct understand
ing of the conditions and problems
OF modern journalism, it's practical
as well as its theoretical side. and
no one can be better equipped in the
subject than an old and trained iour-
nalist, who has experienced all the
phases of his profession, and finally
attained prominence as a critic and
man of letters. For this reason it is
worth while calling attention to an
article by Mr.. George w. Smallev in
the July number Of Harper's Maya
zine. modestly entitled, "Notes on
journalism" The fairness of Mr.
Smalley's discussion Of the MANY sides
of his subject is no less attractive
than the readable, intimate STYLE on

idle to conjecture how effective Mr..

SHORT ROAD SERMON.

Slight Increase in Expenditures Would
III Make Great Improvement Possible.
1t is constantly being remarked in
conversation and printed in interviews
and editorials in the papers that better
roads are very necessary, but that they
are too expensive community is too
poor to do anything, and there the mat
ter ends.
This need not be 50. There is hardly a
town or county in this country in which
the money now annually expended is not
sufficient to procure much better road
surfaces than now exist, while a very
slight increase in expenditure would
make great Improvements possible.
First. Road taxes must be paid in
money and not in labor. Good results
have never been obtained by working
out road taxes and It's not in the nature
of things that they should be. Whatever
is to be spent on the road must be avail
able for use in the employment of ex-
perienced help under intelligent super
vision.
Second. Proper grading must be Sc
cured hills reduced and filings made
until no steep hill exists that the farmer
must "load for" every time he hauls
over the road.
Third. The bed must be thoroughly
drained, or a good surface will be i'm
possible, and the surface must enable
the water to flow off readily. Nothing
ruins road so quickly as water stand
ing on it or soaking into it.
Fourth. The rOadbed must be crowned
enough to shed water, and must be kept
in condition by system of regular re-
repairs and continuous oversight.
Fifth. After good surface is secured
by the above methods, it must be pre-
served and maintained by permitting
only the Use of wide tires on heavily
laden vehicles, thereby continually roll
ing and improving it.-GOOd Roads.
