GOOD ROADS NOTES.
Toll Gate. in New York

The agitation in favor OF better and
cleaner highways has aroused pub
lie sentiment that Is no: likely 10 be
satisfied until the roads are every
where both good and free. A lawyer
in Albany, \. T., writes as follows to
local paper:
BY common consent the toll gates
and toll bridges which surround Al
bany are voted public nuisance that
should be abolished forthwith Their
tolerance does not argue we'll for the
intelligence or morals OF the commun-
lty. That they have been tolerated
for an hundred years IN the past does
| not indicate that they must necessarily
be tolerated for another hundred years
to come Some time or other, AMI
that In the near future, these relics of
harbarisIn will be prohibited forever.
There will never he time more fav-
orabla to begin the preliminary pro
ceedlngs than the time being. / am
aware thas the toll gate nuisance is
| pretty we'll entrenched III law; or the
the forms Of law. but I deny that they
have, in justice, any right TO legal
existence. | am also well aware that
any bill designed to abolish them will
meet with the desperate, sordid oD-
| position Of those who claim to be en-
dowed with so-called vested rights,
to wit, perpetual right to plundel
the public until the end of time. -
Take, as an instance in point, the
old wooden bridge at Waterford. THAT
massive structure was built by cor
| poration, chartered in 1903, the cor
| porate life OF which WAS limited
originally by statute to seyentyfvs
years, after which the bridge, with al
its appurtenances, was to become {

ROBINSON SHOW EXCURSIONS

Arrangements have been perfected
with all lines of travel for special ex-
cursion rates to the John Robinson
Greatest of All American Shows,
which exhibits in HAYS, Monday,
October 10. AS this is the only place
in the vicinity where this famous big
show will exhibit this season, the OPP
portunity to see it should be taken
advantage of by all who enjoy really
high-class circus performance. The
John Robinson name needs no intro
duction to the community. 1t has
been identified for seventy-four wears
with all that is best in arenic amuSe-
ments in the United States. and the
show this year is bigger, better and
more meritorious than ever. One of
the great attractions of the present
season is Louis Cyr. the wonderful
Canadian strong man, who holds on
his shoulders over two tons of solid
weight, besides performing many al
most incredible featS of lifting. In
addition to this special feature there
are hundreds of new and original cir
Gus acts; thrilling Roman hippo
drome. horse fair, containing over
$50 handsome horses, and Il grand pre-
liminary parade, in which the leading
features of the menagerie and hun
dredS of professional features are eX-
hibited free upon the streets.

For Governor.
w. E. STANLEY,
Sedgwick County.

We heard the other day that popu-
lists were attacking Mr.. Reeder on
the ground that he had through his
bank foreclosed on a good many Rocks
county people and driven them out of
their homes We took the trouble to
investigate this matter, and find that
Without & Reeder, who composed
the Bank of Logan. had in their bust
ness career of eighteen years foreclos-
ed on only one Rocks county loan.
They had loaned $500 to man in Bow
Creek township, taking a second mort
gage on his farm. In due time they
were forced to pay off the first mort
gage of 81 600 to protect their claim.
and they still own the property, never
having been able to sell it for the
amount of the first mortgage, let
alone the original loan of $500. This
is the only case where these gentle
men have been compelled to take in
the property on their loans in all their
extensive business transactions in the
northwest part of the county. y fur
Their Investigation shows that in the
four counties of Rocks, Phillips, Nor
ton and Graham the Bank of Logan
has during eighteen years foreclosed
in only four cases, the other three be-
sides the one mentioned. being loans
on chattel security. This is remark
able record, and fully refuteS all that
his opponents may say about Will
Beeder as forecloSer. Mr.. Reeder'S
operations in the past nine or ten
years have been in the line of farm
ing and stock raising. During that
period he has each year farmed from
500 to 500 acres of corn. and until the
millefs beat him out of his water
rights on the North Solomon, he cul-
tivated each year 90 acres of potatoes.
One hundred to 400 head of hogs have
been annually raised by him. Last year
he and his partner handled 1900 cat
tie, feeding 1.500 themselves. At the
present time he is feeding rs 2-year-
dds In fact Mr.. Reeder has for a
Hong time been far more of farmer
than banker and his principal
money has been made in the latter
pursuit. Mr.. Mccormick has never
been anything but a lawyer, and a
mighty poor one at that Rocks
