,so,.s kick and knock about trivial

people kick and knock about trivial
matters.
But one must kick sometimes,-per
example. | went from Wheeling TO
Moundsyille on the traction line. AT
Moundsville the assessor wanted taxes,
though | am a resident of Wheeling.
He said | had gained citizenship on
our trip down. knew that | should
have been shaved twice on that trip,
for | had a full beard when l got to the
corporate line and my friends didn't
know me.
A newly married couple from Wheel
ing rode down to Moundsville on this
line on a wedding tour and their friends
thought they were in Europe,-it was
so long before they heard from them.
After their arrival in Moundsville
doctor was telephoned for. l did not
learn whether it was a boy or girl.
On the way up from Moundsville TO
BenwooG a man with his wife and sew
eral children got very tired OF the
weary whizzing of the car and the man
got off and walked to Benwood, where
he waited for hours for his wife and
children. The oldest boy had grown so
that he was taken to barber shop and
was shaved and had hair cut He had
grown so that his pants had split some
what, but our friend, Joe Mahood
loaned him an ulster to go home in.
People used to wonder why the mo-
tor1nan on the Moundsville end gener-
ally has big clothes basket on the
front end of the car. 1t is his lunch
basket 1t is his breakfast, dinner and
supper, and a midnight lunch. They
bid their wives goodbye in the morning
and come back gray-haired men and
find a grown-up family.
Jess MARBLE and Colonel Fish seem
to defy these long trans-continental
voyages, for both seem hale and hearty.
But | have often detected Marble eating
dozens of sandwiches on the run to
Moundsvile.
Why do people take long trips to
Europe when they can take long trip
to Moundsville? There are numbers of
people in Wheeling and we know of
many in Moundsville, who would live,
or conduct their business in either place
but for the fear of infirmtles from trav-
Ell. This slowness was explained to me
by an honest mamie said that tick
cts were sold by the hour, not by the
mile. Hence 25 cents on this road will
knock Rip Van Wrinkle cold-almost a
perpetual slumber.

THE WALL STREET VIEW OF THE
STRIKE.


Bradstreet's, which of course takes
the trust side in, the present strike and
reflects the Wall street view of this as
it does of all matters, says that so far
as the stock market is concerned the
strike is a failure. After pointing out
that but 40 per cent. of the trusts pro-
duction is cut off Bradstreet's says:
"It was thought when the strike began
the representatives of the labor unions
being evidently OF this opinion. that one
OF the first results of trouble of this kind
would be to create a heavy depression in
the market quotations for United States
Steel stocks. This, however, proved to be
complete error, as was quickly ascer-
tanned by the bearish element in the mar
ket itself The powerful financial inter-
ests connected with the so-called steel
trust gave effective support to the stock
of the corporation. and, while there was.
of course, extensive liquidation by timid
and frightened holders and a good deal of
short selling on the part of speculative
traders, the decline was arrested and the
steadiness of quotations for the stocks
was restored in much shorter time than
had been deemed possible. With the grow
ing conviction on the part of the public
that the strike cannot succeed, there has,
Of course. been a material recovery In
prices for the United States Steel stock.
This has been helped by the remarkable
amount of investment purchasing. which
has been in progress in these securities
ever since their appearance in the market.

THE GOOD ROADS PROBLEM.

The agitation for good country roads
has grown from a question for county
action to one of State Importance,
thence it became national and now it
has attained the dignity Of an interna-
tional question.
1t is a question of serious economic
Importance especially to farmers. 1t is
calculated that any one of the better
class of permanent roads would enable
a team to draw on the level about four
times the amount drawn on common
dirt road in good condition. Consd-
erations such as these have led to the
question of road improvement being
taken up In earnest. This fall an in
ternational congress will be held in
Buffalo in the week beginning Septem-
Der 16. The call has been issued by
the National Good Roads Association.
It is intended to make this gathering
a means of interchanging knowledge
and experience between the old and the
new worlds, and it promises to be Of
great practical interest. A portion Of
the time will be devoted to demonstra-
tions OF scientific methods of modern
road construction by the building of
sections of the various classes of roads
including earth, gravel, stone, tar, ma
cadam, vitrified brick, etc. A train
fully equipped with modern road-mak-
ing machinery will be on exhibition,
under the charge of practical road ex-
perts and engineers. The delibera-
tons Of the congress will deal with the
science of road construction and main
tenance, and it will have the advant-
age of noting experimental tests sup
piled by the experience OF foreign
countries.
While public interest in the United
States has not yet caught up with the
interest In the same question in the old
world, it is nevertheless rapidly grow
ing as evidenced by recent good-roads
campaigns in Louisiana, Mississippi.
Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois. This
experiment was conducted by the Ma
tional Good Roads Association in CO.
operation with the Illinois Central
railroad and the Office of Public Road
Inquiries Over twenty miles OF sam
pie good roads were built and num-
Der of conventions held.
The great Importance Of good coun-
try roads becomes apparent when we
consider the vast quantities OF agricul-
tural products which must be carried
on them from the farms to the rail-
roads.
The International Road Congress will
be an interesting and important feat
ure of the Buffalo Exposition.

As TO A TARIFF WAR WITH GER


All Germany Is not united in sentl-
ment regarding tariff war with the
United States. The German protection
lists while on top in Germany, as are
the prohibitory-t ariffers-for- trusts-only
in this country, they are not altogether
the whole thing. In the United States
It ia aggregated wealth united in trusts
which sell cheaper abroad than at
home, that backs the tariff-for trusts
only. In Germany it is the landed ar
istocracy, which is making desperate
and final attempt to secure its long
time supremacy by fastening obsolete
agricultural ideals on a people whose
interests have become essentially indus
trial.
In the United States McDingleyism
is backed by an aristocracy of money:
in Germany the same thing is support
ed by an aristocracy of land.
Herr Barth, editor of the Berlin Ma
ton, characteristics the proposed Ger
man tariff as threat to the German
Empire. He deplores the proposal OF
the law by the Bundesrath. and asserts
that, while the measure is not con-
ceived in a spirit of exceptional hos
ti1ity toward the United States, its en-
actment would surely cause rupture
in the relations between nations which
have hitherto been good friends.
The sentiments of this leader of Ger
man Liberal sentiment must be graft
flying to Americans, but we should
meet the advance with something
more than words Of approval. A slight
modification of on. own tariff, which is
more unjust to ourselves than to any
one else, would to a certainty work
wonders in changing German sentiment
on this question from hostile to
friendly.
