There is no more encouraging sign of The progress

the latter must be transported for greater less dis.
tanees over the public highways. Here is where the
Improvement is especially needed. and it is gratifying
to note that the outlook is especially good for such i'm.
provement The railway and steamship services Of
this country have been developed an efficient and
almost a sufficient extent The pressing problem is to
develop the wagon roads correapoudngy.
IT has been shown that it costs more to move

erago road i'm the United States than to transport it
so miles by railway 1000 miles by steamship Bota
in the North and in the South farmers haze frequently
been compelled to let crops 90 to waste because the
bad condition of the country roads rendered it unproht
able to haul them to market. the cost of the hauling
being in excess OF what could be realized by the crops
Now all this is TO be changed The good roads

THE REAL THING.
Dear Jess, could but ride for you
AS in the days OF derring-do
A knight wont for ladye faire,
To make his charger paw the air
And with her guerdon on his helm
His Toe TO meet and overwhelm
Then would ride your behest
And win the joust or do my best!
Aye do my best cen though lost
And from my chargers back were tossed

Far better TO win where you are!
And victor from the hard fought fray
With you, my love- to ride away
But days of derrng-do are done
Though battles still are lost and won;
And deeds of blood have simmered down
To schemes for Mammon's smile or frown;
Hearts that might feel the battle lust
Today wrapped up in a trust
And broadcoth coats with long frock tail
Give way 10 old-time coats OF mail
Love rides each pace and evry trail.
And hearts, cen sans coat of mail,
Still feel the exquisite woe
That only hearts which love may know;
And he who fights in Mammon's way
May still be loser in the fray,
And l in the losers boat
For dear, haven't got groatl
But I have done my besti and
Still love you, Jess, just fit to die
I'd leave the world and climb tree
If that would bring you, dear to mel

FACTS IN THE GREAT STRIKE.

For the United States Steel corporation to have
granted this demand last week would have meant that
corporation has no future"
The foregoing assertion was made in New York bv 2
prominent member of group of capitalists who control
the great steel trust in eplaning to correspondent of
the Cleveland Leader the determined opposition of the
big corporation to the demands of the Amagamated Asso
cia1n Of Iron and Workers It is one of the most
significant and enghtening statements which have been
published regarding the labor troubles Of the largest
poration in America
The Amagamated Association leaders asked nothing
which would have inerfered under existing business
ditons with the prosperity Of the steel trust That cor
poTaton is ready and willing pay union wages for the
ensuing and its agreement with labor leaders as to
the price Of labor is made Of by its champions in
the present controversy For present purposes it would
have been cheaper TO grant all was asked than to
strike.
But the future is another matter The trust officials
looking far ahead They know that existing industrial
conditions cannot be counted on and that markers nav
change radically. The OF the whole question AT Issue
between the trust and the Amagamated association from
the corporation point Of view is the control Of the cost

That is what the representative Of the trust meant
when he said that TO grant the demands made for the

fairs il were forced time in the future to IN
dertake the impossible task Of paying interest on its bonds
and dividends its stock of which about billion dollars
is water in bad times and without ability to control the
labor market.
Under such conditions competition might make swift
headway against the huge corporation Its stocks might
be quoted SO low that its financial standing woud be
