THE DEAD PRESIDENT

M The country at large is profoundly

ohief executive. In this one thing at
least. there are no party lines. Inc
noonle are a unit in deploring the trag-
edy. -
The great majority Of the people OF
+ba south are opposed to the polltlcai
victiops which William Mckinley
advocated and cherished, but there
are none to deny the conscientious
honesty of those convictions, and none
r. impugn the sterling honor and IN
teor;tv Of the man. He was typical
American. broad minded and generous
the TYNE of ourcilizenship which has
made our republic and its citizens re-
snected in every country on the globe.
The high esteem in which he was held
throughout the length and breadth OF
the United States is attested by the
consuming anxiety with which the tel
eeraphic news from his bedside has
been awaited.
OF the anarchistic crank who com
mitted the dartardly deed that has cast
gloom over the entire nation it IS use
less to speak. He does not realize the
awful enormity OF the act. The nation
must have it's just vengeance. but the
lives of the whole nest OF anarchists
are not worth that OF the man he slew.

ARGUMENT FOR GOOD ROADS.

Alters careful inquiry it has been
found that the average haul OF the
American farmer IN getting his pro-
duce to market or the nearest ship
ming station is twelve miles, and the
average cost of hauling over the com,
mon country roads is % cents per ton
per mile, or So per ton for twelve
mile haul. An estimate places the 10
tai tons hauled at 100000, 900 per year.
On the estimate Of Sc per ton for twelve
miles this would make the total cost OF
getting the surplus projects OF the
farm to the local markets or to the
railroads no less than 5000, goo, OOO-a
figure greater than the operating e.
penses OF all the railroads of the Unit
ed States.
If ANYTHING could make an argument
for good wagon roads this statement
surely will, says the Poctland Orego-
