A bill has been introduced in the
house of representatives increasing
the pay of the vice president to $50, 600
and of cabinet officers to $15, 900. No
mention is made of the judges of the

be added later. At least they ought
to be. $40, 900 would be none to high

Gov. Lind in his parting words as
governor commended the grain inspec-

it could hardly be expected that he
could condemn them, even though in
inspecting wheat and handling the
Irvine plant of the state they were
both huge failures.

To the Highest Bidder.

A great future is ahead OF Mr..
Morgan. If he acquires the owner
ship of the Panama waterway and
puts the canal in good running order
the American people will be so daz-
zled by his success that they may
even propose to him to take entire
charge of the government OF the
United States in addition to bis
South American possessions. 1t is
generally believed that Mr.. Morgan
is already powerful factor in this
government and events may so
shape themselves that the people
may ask him to organize syndicate
and acquire all rights which he does
not now possess. The tide is NOV
ing so strongly and swiftly toward
concentration that such result
would not be shock to the nation.
Having begun by eIccting our presl-
dents as an expression of confidence
in them, we may yet end by dispos'
ing of the Office to the highest bid
der. In this way our multi million
aires can acquire distinction and al
be made to serve as a source OF ma
tional revenue.-Baltimore Sun.

Bad Roads Cause Big Loss.

Kansas City Times: Iowa, the state of
small farms, presents one of the richest
agricultural areas in the world. Yet its
profits have been lately suffering con-
siderable diminution from the effects Of
an obstruction all too common in many
western states.
1t is reported that in the country towns
of Iowa business stagnation is prevailing
to considerable extent on account of
impossible roads. No hauling can be
done because of the depth of the mud.
1t is next to impossible for the farmers
to take anything to town to sell, and their
only travelling thither is done on horse
back when they 60 to the postoffice for
mail.
There are doubtless parts of Missouri
suffering from the same conditions. Both
in the interior of the state and in the val
ley lands of the Missouri and the Missis-
isippi, especially in March and April,
every year, the roads are in such state
as render it practically ruinous for vehic-
les with heavy loads to attempt to
traverse them,
Ii the money which farmers of the
western states lose every year by reason
of bad roads could be approximately es-
timated the sum would stagger belief.
The Chicago Tribune declares that the
amount thus annually lost is much larger
than would suffice to pay the charge for
the maintenance of the very best quality
of roads. The yearly damage to the
farmers from bad roads certainly runs
far up into the millions. Country mer-
chants are likewise big losers from this
cause.
Under these plain facts, it is rather
surprising that farmers and other dwell
ers in the rural districts display such
little interest in the good roads move
ment. They do not seem to understand
that while they are lying idle waiting for
the mud to dry they are losing large
percentage of the profits which would
come to them if they had the proper
system of highways. They appear not
to realize that they indirectly pay an
enormous tax every year in the shape of
wasted time, lost opportunities to market
their crops. breakage OF vehicles and
wear and tear on animals.
The sum thus lost, if applied to road
building, would vastly increase the pros
perity OF nearly every rural community
make its earnings larger and enhance the
value of its farms from 20 to so per cent.

Jc I'm Moore, Loses Ba II and Con-
tents iy Fire


On the night OF the 18th, John
Moore, who resides near Bessville,
lost his barn with four good work
horses, all his harness, leaving him
not single bride or rope on the
place; about 800 bushels of corn;
leaving him without corn for seed
or bread, together with other feed
and some lumber that was stacked
around the barn. His barn was a
new frame 40 by A feet. Making a
conservative estimate, his loss a.
mounts to about 500. Having a
large family and having had many
misfortunes during his life, his loss
is very distressing. The writer has
known Mr.. Moore twenty-five years
and can say, he is good, hard work
ing citizen. Beginning poor, he has
had quite struggle. Six years ago
his wife died, leaving him with IL
children to care for. There can be
little doubt that his barn was fred
by some sneak. John, like other
men, has some enemies. The neigh.
bors are aroused and feel like hang
ing the rascal there is a strong prob.
ability OF his being caught as the
eyes of men do not lie, and if be is
caught, from the evidence at. hand
and something is not done to allay
the strong sentiment against him,
woe unto. BIN. CITIZEN.
