FOR THE FARMER,
Good Roads and Country Life.

says Popular Science Monthly This
demand is rapidly growing in vol
ume and is taking on the system
attic organization which is essential
to the success of such a movement.
That bad roads in this country
cause an enormous loss of money
each year to those who use them
may easily be proved, but this fact
is yelled from many persons because
they have never known anything
better The farmers are the great
est sufferers. Where wagon wheels
sink hub deep in mud at some sea
sons, a farmer who has much haul
ing to do must keep one or two
more horses than he would need if
he had only hard, even roads to go
over. and his loss in the wear and
tear of horse flesh, harness and
wagons is heavy tax on his in
come. 1t often happens that far
mer finds the roads absolutely i'm
passable with loaded wagon just
at time when his produce would
bring the highest price if he could
haul it to railroad. and he is forced
to wait and take lower price later.
Livery stable keepers and all other
owners and users of horses and
vehicles suffer from bad roads in
similar way.
In order to obtain better roads
two things are necessary The first
is to create general conviction
that the improvement of our high
ways is imperative, and that the
money wisely expended for this
purpose is sure to return. The
second requisite is to place all road
making and mending under the
charge of competent road builders.
Various efforts to secure these ends
are being made and the aid of
country and State authorities, and
even the National Government, has
been invoked to further the move
ment. While it is very desirable
that the highways of adjoining To-
calities should be under some CEN
trail supervision, so that they may
be made to perform connected
whole, it may be questioned whether
the National Government could be
an effective agency in road improve
ment. Why, for instance, should
the jewellers beyond the Mississippi
and on the Pacific Coast be taxed
to maintain in Washington a school
for road engineers and a museum of
road construction that few, if any,
of these distant communities could
derive any benefit from? A more
practical scheme would be to have
instruction in road engineering
given at each of the State colleges
of agriculture and mechanical arts.
In country showing such wide
differences in soil, rainfall, temper
allure and topography between diff
ferent sections as the United States
does, road building can be taught
and administered far more efficient
ly by the State or the country than
by the nation.
There is need of much intelligent
care in framing legislation in the
interest of the movement for better
roads. Annoying prohibition should
be no part of the policy of the road
reformers. For instance, large loads
carried on wheels having narrow
felloes and tires do great damage to
roads; hence it has been proposed to
prohibit narrow tires on heavy
wagons. A much better policy is
that adopted in Michigan, of giving

see why manufacturing may uOU De sue
cessful under American management in
the Philippines as it is under English
management in Bombay, thereby expos
ing ''our industrial population to unre-
strained competition with the low-priced,
ill conditioned and coolie labor" With
such all open recognition of the tremend-
Gus industrial menace, involved in the
annexation of 5000, 900 Malays, it is in
credible how any intelligent man can
tolerate the annexation proposition,
while, at the same time, harping on the
old cry of protection. The industrial
danger of Philippine annexation should
be enough of itself to put a stop to this ex-
pansion folly but it is only IL of the
many dangers, difficulties and response
bilities with which the administration
needlessly proposes to saddle the Ameri-
a republic by it's Philippine policy
Boston Post.
Neither as permanent settlers nor as
temporary ones doing fighting or garri-
son service does the United States want
to furnish human sacrifices in further
repetition of these historical lessons. 1t
may be in order for it to take the Phil
ippines temporarily-that may be the
shortest cut to more fitting disposition
of them-but it wants to get rid of them
as soon as possible, and to stand in no
other relation to them than to other far
off quarters of the world to which it's
territorial possessions do not extend, and
in which no conservative American Cit
izen wants them to extend, though the
conditions are such as to excite just as
much sympathy for the people in such
regions as for those of the Philippines
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette (Rep.).
1t will be fortunate for the country if

quirer (Dem.).
Chicago negroes in a meeting at Bethel
Methodist church Tuesday evening
adopted resolutions relative to condi-
lions in the South, among which was one
expressing opposition to the acquisition
of more territory by the United States
until the government can protect its
citizens at home. This protest is very
significant. When the nation is unable to
insure to it's own citizens, within it's own
domain, the rights solemnly guaranteed
by the constitution, because of ace pre-
JUDGES and animosities, it should hest
tate before taking into the United States
still other alien races.-Chicago Record

of antagonism to expansion. The CLAM
our of adding foreign colonies to our
home territory dazzled the people, highly
strung by brilliant victories over Spain
and at first the imperialistic idea took
possession of them. But, since they
have had time to mediate on the mat
ter, the glamour has, to a large extent,
died away and, having begun to weigh
the disadvantages of the acquisition of
such territory as the Philippines against
the glory of the possession, they are in
clining to change their minds, and to
believe that we'd be better without the
encumbrance of these Pacific isles, with
their hordes of semi-savages. When
the people have begun to view the mat
ter in this light, it will not take long for
the same anti -imperialistic ideas to per-
colate through to senators II repre-
s~entatives and this, in conjunction with
the powerful anti~-annexation element
already existing in congress, is what
gives us the hope that neither treaty nor
resolution which includes the annexa
ton of the Philippines may commend
itself to the Judgment Of either house

gress. New Orleans Times Democrat

Governor-elect Lind of Minnesota,
who carried a state, solidly republican
for thirty years, for a democratic-fusion

pansion doctrine to consult.-Boston

To acquire the Philippine islands

ago the horrors of the Sepoy mutiny &C.
curred) and the loss of thousands of
lives of Americans. In a campaign of
less than six months the lives of nearly
5000 soldiers were lost. In a campaign
of at least ten years in the tropical jun
giles of the Philippines it seems safe to
conclude that the lives of 81 $1,000 Ameri-
a soldiers would be sacrificed, and the
cost of such a war would probably not
be less than $40, 900, 1000 a year. 1t is
generally estimated that a military pol
icy would cost between $50, 600, 900 and
500, 000, 900 a year. 1t is admitted that
the m of the Philippine islands
is not tempting enough to justify such
an expenditure. 1t is probable that be-
fore the campaign in the Philippines had
progressed five years, the sober sense of
the American people would refuse to
justify any further waste of life.-Bos-

cipal argument of the expansionists is
based upon fact, if the trade of the
Philippines is of vital Importance to
the United States, if the develop
ment of these islands will furnish a
fertile field for American cap
ital, there is no justification for the pol

Detroit Tribune ISL. Rep.
Whether an overwhelming majority
of the American people desire the re-
tention of the Philippines and Cuba re-
mains to be seen. To retain the latter,
unless it's people desired it, would be
deliberately to violate a most solemn
pledge, and the retention of the Philip
pines and their annexation to this
try without their consent would be to
repudiate an implied promise and to turn
our backs upon the fundamental princi-
pies of our government. We do not be-
lieve an overwhelming majority of the
American people want to 10 these
things. There is hardly a single news
paper in the state of Maine supporting
this policy, and only a single member
of our congressional delegation is
known to favor it, while most of them
are known to be nnalterably opposed to
it.-Portland (Me.) Press (Rep.).
The Dispatch publishes elsewhere a
collection of interviews with all classes
OH the subject of the proposed nnexa
ton of the Philippines. Since the allie
cation is widely made that there is
an overwhelming popular demand for
this measure, it is cogent to point out
that these inquiries among business
men, professional men, politicians and
labor leaders show the reverse of that
statement, so far as Pittsburg is con
cerned. The drift of the expressions
quoted elsewhere is that more business
men are opposed to the imperialist pol
icy than in favor of it the clergy and
bar are divided about equally; the rep
resentative women frankly confess that
they do not understand the subject suffi-
GENTLY to form a Judgment, and the
two most significant features are that
even the politicians are divided IN the
question, and the labor element is dead
against it.-Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep.).
