WHERE FAkMEItS GAIN.
Good Roads Will Enable Him to
Reach Highest Markets.

At the recent session of the Ma
tional Good Roads convention, held
in Chicago, H. H. Gross, road ex-
rert of the department of agriculture,
addressed the convention saying IN
part
"The influence of hard roads on
farm property is to add S. in value
for every 81 spent on the roads. This
is true because, given hard roads 20
the farmer eau market his first crops
when the market is right instead of
marketing them when the roads are
right, he can get two, three, four and
five cents bushel more for his grain"
Ninety-five per cent of the farmers
products reach market over wagon
roads.
Would it not be good subject for
the Farmers Institute to discuss how
to get the crops to market, as we'll as
how to grow them?

Mythology of the Partridge.

As the hunting of the bird ls now
on we give the following bit Of bis an
cient history: "Daedalus was the most
cunning of the Athenians and be first
invented the plumb line. the auger
and the glue, and many a tool with
which wood is wrought. He first set
up masts in ships and yards ana his
son made sails for them. But his
nephew, Perdix, sxcelled him, for he
first invented the saw, copying its
teeth from the back bone of the fish.
He invented too the chissl, compass
sas AID the pottsrs wheel which
moulds the clay. Therefore Daedalus
envied him and hurled him headlong
from the temple of Athens. The
Goddess pitied him and changed
him into partridge which fits for
ever about the hills"

An Electric Road in Our Valley

The people of Athens are moving
in the matter Of building an Electric
Railway from that town up into th'
mining regions. and thus secure t.
their merchants some Of the trad,
which is mostly carried by local rail
way trains into NelsonvIlle, and ha'
given this town a commanding posi-
ton in our valley.
Some years ago the editor Of the
SENTINEL urged the building OF ar
electric line On the BERN bank or tow
p,th of the canal. The money te
build the road was assured by Co
lumbus capitalists. The author Of
the bill to lease the canal for railroad
purposes agreed to offer no opposi.
ton TO the MEASURE. The lease re-
quired an act Of the legislature. The
Board of Public Works and all of
the canal ssrats" and the Hooking
Valley rail road opposed the measure
and the men in the Legislature who
ought to have been concerned, de-
clined to take any part and so the
scheme was abandoned.
Then came the organized forces
bent on acquiring the canal property
for speculation.
The canal was leased to tho "Sleep.
er Rail Road Co." The canal was
abandoned. A pretence was made
to build rsilrUad. The Federal
Gas Co., q wheel or rather a ring
within ring lease from themselves,
the Rail Road company. Our canal
property is in no ones possession real
lY, and adventures are speculating
upon the peoples substance.
why can not company OF reiia-
bic business men move in tina matter
Of leasing or condemulng. or taking
= way on tow path or BERN bank. and
build an electrical line out, up and
down from Logan. The graded, lev
el track is here, the money can be OBJ
tanned in day. Will our Board of
Trade take up the question.
1t is not a matter for argument the
benefit to our town, to all the peo.
pie in the valley. 1t il q matter of
how to 60 about it. and how to do
it.
III is plain proposition that an
electric railway on the canal proper
ty, will not interfere with the opera
ton of the Sleeper railroad. 1t will
not diminish the flow of gas from
the Federal wells. 1t can not dam
age the property of Ohio If the canal
is hers, nor the adjacent land owners
if the property is theirs. 1t will help
US all.
What will We do about it!

and seriously advises what we should
DO without knowing what We are do
ing or propose to do. This Kathodic
insight into the chambers of Democ-
racy would afford us fun, only tt at
the Doctor anticipates it, and to
attempt to be funny would put the
joke on US like or surprise party
when the surprised knew all about
the affair before it happened.
The Doctors contention that the
Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution are at variance, are not
democratic, Is old straw threshed 30
often as to be but little but fine chat
left, and is not a matter for discuss
ion. Only the "new lights" of De-
mocracy, Anarchists, Socialists. the
Communists, Popullsts and Union
Reformists agitate it. The recent
phase in which this doctrine of dissen-
ton, of social and political disinte-
grafton, is called the s.Initiative and
and Referendum" the English of
which Is that all laws must be first
thought of, inspired, suggested, orig
mated, conceived by the people, and
before put in operation, force and
effect. must be submitted to the peo-
pie again for a vote of acceptance.
This plan of government never OBJ
tanned on this earth, except in FROM
tier mining camps, mobs and where
lynch law obtains, and never will ex-
ist in organized. civilized society.
We are q representative govern.
ment of the people. We select or
assume to select honest, intelligent
men to make our laws. They know
or ought to know the laws best adapted
for the common good.
The laws regulating the matter for
publication in a newspaper are no
more a subject for referendum"
than the laws regulating the practice
of medicine or pharmacy or the place
Of building a bridge. The legisla-
tor considers a condition and in his
judgment presents bill. 1t is ex-
amined by presumably capable meo.
1t is passed to statute. The doctor
diagnosis his case. He takes counsel
from his associates, his teachers, his
books, bis fellow practitioners. He
prescribes medicine. Are the COM
munity to take vote on it before
administered to the patient?
The great body of the people know
as little about The proper legislation
Tor the varied interests of the state as

about the propriety of giving a dose

The Democratic party made fool
If itself by tagging on to it lot of
'rankery, momentary impulses, pop
