INEXPENSIVE ROADS.
Los Angeles Times: One of the rea-
sons why SO comparatively little has
been accomplished in the way of road
Improvement, in spite of the large
amount of writing and talking on the
subject, is the expense of building first
class macadamized roads. In this con-
nection circular has been issued by
the Better Roads Society of Pasadena.
in which. suggestions are submitted to
the city authorities as result OF
careful study of the local situation. The
society shows how, without waiting. for
the construction of expensive macadam-
lied roads, there is a large field for i'm
provement in the methods of making
and caring for ordinary earth roads IN
this section of the State. Many of the
suggestions made in this circular are
applicable outside of the city of Pasa-
dena.
The Better Roads Society suggests
that the city of Pasadena enter upon a
definite plan for the improvement of
the streets, in a less expensive way
than is necessary when permanent
macadamized streets are constructed,
a way which, at the same time, Will
give good streets, attractive in APP
pearance, much less dusty than at
present, and good for driving. Briefly,
the plan of the society is to make two
classes of roads. First, for those resi-
dence streets in greatest use we'll con-
structed earth road, thoroughly rolled,
and covered with a heavy coating of
gravel; and, second, for the other resi-
dence streets of the city, the same kind
of a road, emitting the coating of
gravel Much stress is laid upon the
Importance of scraping the surface of a
good earth road, to keep it free from
dust, and lessen the amount of needed
repairs.
AS We have said, there are points in
this circular which are of interest to
other places besides Pasadena. While
we are waiting for macadamized roads,
which we hope to be able to get before
long in Southern California, let US not
sit down inactive, but go to work and
build few roads that will be an inn
provement over the unsatisfactory
highways which are the most frequent
subjects of criticism on the part of Wis
itors to Southern California. The wheel
men of this section, alone. should be
able to accomplish this reform, if they
would take the subject up in earnest.

"A HEALTHY PUBLIC OPINION

San Jose Herald: The Herald" has
had considerable to say about civic in
differentism lately, but the subject is
by no means exhausted. Indeed it would
be difficult to exhaust it as it is always

1t must be remembered that it takes
many forms.

ferentism is liberation. We would not
be understood to favor intolerance in

For instance, a man was recently
brought back to this city under arrest
on criminal charges. 1t is impossible to
say what the result of the legal pro-
ceedings against him may be. That is
one of those things (which no one can
predict in the United States. But re-
garding the fact that he has for long
time pursued course of systematic
swindling there seems to be no room
for doubt. Yet this man, with the facts

Abstract of the Important Proceed
r -" ings.

In the Senate on Jan. 10 Mr.. Mason made
n speech upon his resolution declaring that
all just powers of the Government are de-
rived from the consent of the governed, and
that the United States will make no attempt
to govern any people against their will"
Distinguished editors and statesmen, !"
declared Mr.-Mason, say the Republican
party favors governing certain nations with
out the consent of its people. Who dares
speak in advance for the party that speaks
only in its conventions? That party sprang
like a young giant from the womb of consci-
euce and made its first fight for human
liberty. 1t has never bowed to the storm of
cxpediency, and, if 1 may he allowed TO
prophesy. predict that if the delegates rep
resent the Republican party, the old plank
for human liberty will so in again and the
rafters will ring again and again when they
demand the same independence for the citl-
zen of the Philippines as they did two years
ago Tor Cuba
We ought TO begin to learn the mex
orable law of compensation. You cannot
govern the Philippines without taxing them.
You have not yet their consent, and the
proposition OF taxation without representa-
on Is made again. Look olt for tea parties.

VeteranS' Opinions 0f the Pension Question
Austin Gould, Fiagtown, No., writes
"THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has given u
considerable criticism of the unjust cours
pursued by the Pension Bureau. 1t appear
that there has been inhumanity perpetrated
against the old soldier for the last five year
without any change except in name. Wher
LOchren was formulating his obnoxious rules
he was not blamed as much as Cleveland
Everybody said he had to cater to his wishes
in order to hold his job. Did the President
know how Evans would conduct the Pension
| Bureau before he was appointed? have nc
donbt that there are hundreds OF dollars
daily turned back to the Government by
| claims being cancelled by death"
Chas. Miller, Augusta, Ga, writes: 81
| know a veteran here who served all through
the civil war, was prisoner at AndersOnville
and Florence S. c., altogether, 90 months.
He filed claim under the new law a few years
ago and was allowed $6 a month. He filed
claim for increase three years ago. Fifteen
months ago he was examined by the. Board.
There was nothing to examine but skin and
bones; the flesh was left at AndersOnville.
He lives on two meals a day. He boards out
his Si3, by taking two meals day, and
when his SIS gives out, he is out, and has to
beg. borrow and almost steal until the next
draw comes around.
Another comrade served in Uncle Sans
army "a years in the civil war and with the
Indians. He had two ribs broken, and lost
an eve; had rheumatism and asthma, and
was totally disabled. He drew $l2 month
under the new law and had CLAIM pending
under the general law, but could not tind two
comrades whose eviden was needed. He
went to Washington, d. G. The Pension
Office replied: Sweeney, you must furnish
two comrades or die He came home, died,
aged and pauper, and was buried by the
city,
S. A. Justice. Stryker, O., writes: :" The
dallying and delays in the Pension Depart
ment indicate that the present incumbent,
II. Clay Evans, should be removed. The
action of Mr. Evans is grand encouragement
for our sons and young men to enlist III the
army"
Capt w. C. Armstrong, st. Thomas, On
tarip, Canada, writes So am in favor of a
service pension to all old soldiers who saw
active service in the field. There are thou
sands of deserving soldiers to-day suffering
from disease contracted while in active serv
ice in the field, who are unable to provide
for themselves and families, who have been
| trying to get :. pension or a raise for year
and have not succeeded, while many able
bodied men are drawing pensions.
John Roman, Florence, Wis, writes: is
| it not plainly evident that the Administration
has failed to faifillgits promises made re-
peatedly to the Union veteran prior to cleo

the experience of II NJ. Wilsie, of Brandon,
Wis completely upsets this theory
There is Il doctor in Adams, N Y, who has
discovered q marvellous system of treatment
that not only retains any kind of rupture but
also causes he muscles to grow together. Mr..
Wilsie heard of it and gave it test. The re-
suits were astonishing.

for more than twenty years. Mr. Whsle began
to mend at once and was perfect y cured in n
re III rkably short me- To-day he is hale and
n earty, a fine looking gentleman and complete
y restored from the slightest trace of rupture
He naturally recommends the system highly.
His cure excited considerable interest among
his neighbors, many of whom were also rup-
tured and have since been cured.
The system of cure is the discovery of DR.. W.
s X ice, one of the best known rupture special
lists in the country. He his recently issued an
illustrated book on the subject of rupture and
ends it free to everyone; his object being To
disabuse the public mind that rupture cannot
be cured. The beauty of his system is the alb
Sence of all pain; abs olute Immunity from
danger; no operation of any kind and not the
loss of minutes time from work. This is n
subject well worth inquiring into. ThOus nds
