The American steel trust lately

@rhScencerns that entered the trust

600 men. but not all Of them gain
the increase. TO be plain, as soon
as the trust was formed, several Of
the minor plants were closed,
throwing thousands out Of work.
This in itself is crime that can
not be atoned for by raising the
pay Of the men left undisturbed.
In any event the pay roll OF the
steel trust, raise or no raise, has

ANOTHER Plea Foa GOOD ROADS.

Highways are what we make them. In
this cou. try they are creation OF the
trinity of bungle, blu der and botch,
and like the common roads OF other ma
tions, they bear the imprint Of their ma
kers skill. A country road, like every
other piece of human work, is bad, or
tolerable, or fair, or good, or excellent,
or splendid, just in proportion to the
amount OF sense and ingenuity that has
been put into it's construction. Every
we'll done job ia testimonial Of It's ma"
ker's intellect.
In my judgement the reason why our
roads are bad is because they haven't
had sufficient place in the public mind.
They are slovenly limitations OF bad
model, chums to custom and strangers
to sense. They have cost us thousands
of dollars, but not an hour of thought,
and the past year in this town very lit
tie labor. We should Judge the public
lacked the sense OF realizing that it WAS
possible to have good roads and perhaps
the majority do not consider II Ut cesssry
to have good roads or that iG is any ad-
vantage to the town but He that hath
brains to think, let him think" It pays
to think there's money in it. Thought
