1t may be said that the laws govern

par OF any law is failure to provide

ana especially is this true regarding
laws which contemplate the collection

FOR public purposes. 1t is a mockerv
upon the citizenship of the State to
permit other than justice in such an
important governmental matter. Sta
ustlcs demonstrate that in 1850 the
farmers owned substantially IS per
cent Of the total wealth of the coun-
try; in 1900 they owned less than % per
cent.-a depreciation of above 80 per
cent. in 40 years. This in itself, per-
haps, would not be significant if from
the same source of information il was
not shown that the farmers pay two

We have, in the performance of duty
been called upon to do many. to MS
disasreeable things. With the most
profound regret we have had to inter-
fere with the discipline Of several
oranges either by suspension of a
master or the charters. and if in any
instance we have exceeded our author

and. if it should be shown. would be

GOOD ROADS.
We wish to emphasize the position
taken last year in regard to road
building. We are unalterably opposed
to any such change as shall take from
the farmers of the State one iota of the
control which they have always had
over the public highways which run
through their land: in whose condition
none are 50 intimately concerned as
they themselves. and we are resolutc
in our opposition to any system which
will increase the burden of their main
tenance. We. too, want good roads;
We would readily and gladly welcome
better roads than We have, but insist
that as the better roads are mainly a
question of more dollars, the law which
may provide for them shall also pro-
vide for equal taxation. for that pur-
pose. of all kinds of property State
aid has in most instances (When tried)
been coupled with conditions so oner-
Gus as to increase. instead of lessen.
our burdens. Therefore. we are op-
posed TO the creation of bureaus or
official boards of superintendent
which will surely be costly, whether
efficient or not And we will strongly
oppose any proposed law which does
not provide for the equal taxation of
all forms of property Except that
exempt by the constitution for road
purposes.
AT the last session of the Legislature.
Two measures presented there We're
badly defeated by the combined efforts
of our members. Try the bill asking
for the creation of a State highway
commission, and a resolve asking for AM
increase of the salaries of the justices
Of the Supreme Court in amount $12-
900. There is no question as to the
influence of the grange in defeating
Doth of these measures. and furnish
another object lesson of what the agri-
cultural people can do when working
together for their common good. 1t is
Il good omen that our people are
awakening to the fact that their wei

A Plague Victim in Science.


A correspondent at Lisbon sends us some
pathetic details of the death of DR.. Ca
mara Pestana, who actually caught the
plague through his anxiety to learn all
that he could about it. He was dissect-
ing the body of a patient who had died
from plague. and in order to extract the
virus more thoroughly for analysis he put
aside his instruments and worked with his
fingers. The poison entered his system
under the finger nails and he was struck
down with the terrible disease which he
was investigating. He was at once re-
moved to an isolated ward set apart for
plague sufferers and there he set himself
to study his own case and to record for
the benefit of humanity his own symptoms
and the course of the disease He re-
fused to see his brother for fear OF infec-
ton. and IN every way, even in making
arrangements for his own funeral he took
every precaution TO prevent the spread OF

and's Prison Record.

and's Prison Record.
From Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
The first American newspaper started
IN Cuba was owned by Thomas Dawley,
the war correspondent whose confinement
in various Cuban prisons by WeyIer be-
fore the war almost brought about inter-
national complications.
''My first paper was published in Santl-
age and was called the Times of Cuba -
said Mr. Dawley, "when the natives
heard 1 was going to print a paper they
offered to get me a set of wardrobes.
Wardrobes are standing items authorized
by the public censor and appertaining to
weddings, funerals and births. When any
of these domestic events happens the ed
itor goes to the wardrobe, selects one of
the items. changes the names, sex and dates
and puts it into type. This saves trouble
declined the offer because wanted to
be original, but Santiago was conserva-
tive, and when 1 printed some truths
about the Cuban army l was threatended
with assassination.
"A friend told me that could save my
self by hiring a substitute te sit in the Of
flee and acknowledge the authorship of
any offensive item This / also declined
Perhaps Ii was a mistake, for a few days
later some of the townsmen came to the
office, and threw me bodily into the street
and ruined my presses and type. My next
venture was in another town in anotehr
province. / took the same old name and
followed the same tactics with the same
result. The next time the Times of Cuba
was started was in Havana. One of the
judges found fault with me because ca l.
ed him the Filipino judge, as he had been
appointed first by Queen Isabella in Ma
Mia. So / was hauled to court.
"He held court in his house, and when I
called he was eating breakfast. 1 told him
that he need not be in any hurry but he
said that the sight of me made him so
angry that it took away his appetite and
he would open court Immediately. 1t took
HIM about ten minutes to find me guilty
and sentence me to prison.
Tn willing TO go to prison., I said,
but have one request to make. During

every prison of any note on the island ex-
cept Cabanas, and IL 1t please your excel
lency 1 should like to be sent there I
have always had a curiosity to see what
this prison is like, and If you will grant
me this request l think l shall have es-
tablished an all-around prison record that
no other American has ever touched, and
this is worth something to me in my bust
ness.
This put a new phase on the matter,
and the judge said that rather than help
me make a record he'd see me hanged,
but as he could not do that, / was only
