wonderful work in overcoming the inertia
OF the rural districts, and in stimulating
the state legislatures in the good roads
movement But it had a long, hard fight
and did not accomplish all that was to be
done. The country is SO vast, the habit Of
permitting the roads to remain in semi
disrepair is so fixed. the cost of scientific
road-making on the great American scale
is so enormous that the wheelmen found
themselves only the 1eaven in the great
lump. Their influence, however, was ex-
cellent and produced results which have
been effectively supplemented by the gov
ernment's work and by the few associa-
lions of automobilists near the large cities.
The association of the interests described
will permit a great membership, covering
many states. and good results should soon
flow from the organization. There Is much
hard work to be done in the cities in in
surfing a proper regulation of speeds. With
truck owners and cyclists standing along
side Of automobilists in the same associa-
ton the public Is guaranteed that this new
body will not ork-exclusively for racing
rights for the automatic machines, but will
seek to secure a conservative speed allow
ance which will provide for the safety of
the trucks and wheels, as well as the
pleasure of the motor car owners.

A Connecticut Suicide Club.

Meriden. Connecticut. is greatly agitated
by the belief that a suicide club exists In
that city. Nine well-known citizens have
killed themselves in as many weeks without
sufficient reason in any case to warrant the
acceptance of the theory of mere coinci-
dence. The police are hunting for clues,
but have as yet found no tangible evidence
of the existence of such organization.
There was once an undeniable suicide club
in existence in Chicago. but it was broken
up after a few deaths had attracted atten-
clubs" have been exploited in various
cities
The supposed principle upon which the
suicide club is run is that certain persons
bind themselves by oaths to take their own
lives in an order determined by chance.
The motive for the pledge has never been
clearly explained. 1t is possible that a
few congenially morbid spirits might find
comfort in the knowledge of their agree
ment upon the futility of life. They might
perhaps discuss together the ways and means
and reasons for ending existence. But why
they should GO so far as to pledge their
own deaths, with every possible safeguard
against failure. is a mystery which has
attracted the inquiry of psychologists.
The unwholesome influence of such a
club cannot be over-estimated. The i'm
moral effect of a single suicide is bad
enough. When self-murders occur in Sc
quences. however. a demoralizing influence
of shocking possibilities is started

The Road-Users of America,

Ever since the automobile became a
fashionable fad the forecast has often been
made that the sentiment for good roads
would at last be given a winning head
way in all parts of the country. 1t was
felt that some such force was necessary to
convince state legislatures Of the neces-
sity of passing effective good roads laws
and that the influences behind the auto
mobile industry and use would forward the
campaign for such ends. But for some
reason the movement has Jagged until now.
The other day there was organized In New
York city THE Associate Road-Users of
America under the initiative Of some of
the foremost automobIlists of the rrietrop-
oils The association is a composite Of all
the interests concerned in the betterment
Of the American highways, the automo-
bilists, the cyclists. the road drivers and
the truck owners. This combination in
sures an active campaign not only for
better highways in the country, but for
good city pavements. The association Is
pledged to secure both and to work for the
satisfactory regulation of traffic, the cree
ton of street signs and road guide posts,
the proper lighting of streets and high
ways, the prohibition of the obstruction of
the highways with destructive materials
or their flooding with water, and, particu-
larly, the strict enforcement of all speed
ordinances.

Republican Conventions on Cuba.

The republican state conventions are IN
dorsins reciprocity with Cuba as rapidly as
they are being held. They are all largely
attended. The party seems to be in good
fighting form. Either these conventions are
representative of party sentiment, or they
are not AS a rule. jokes are not perpe-
trated in that way. 1t Is safe therefore
t. assume that these bodies are expressing
on this subject as on others the views OF
the people for whom they speak There
must be good reason for supporting the
President In the stand he has taken for the
relief of the new government the United
States has added TO the family of nations.
And vet the republican senators who are
opposing reciprocity claim to be represent
Ing republican sentiment and serving the
interests of their constituents. Yesterday
at Lincoln the Nebraska republicans met,
and nominated a state ticket and adopted
platform. The proceedings indicated conf
denCe In the November returns, and as one
OF the evidences of this there were seven
candidates for the gubernatoriai nominal
ton The platform adopted indorses the
party's record all along the line, and this
plank Is conspicuous:
We heartily indorse the administration
OF President Theodore Roosevelt. We es-
of the reciprocity policy with Cuba as en-
bodied in his message to Congress.
Now this in the language of the poet. Is
business 1t is directly to the point But
how shall we reconcile it with the action
of the two republican senators from Ne
braska last night. who attended their
party's conference and gave their support
to the movement to defeat reciprocity with
Cuba? The names of Dietrich and Millard
are on the printed list. Do they represent
Nebraska on this subject. or does the re-
publican state platform adopted yesterday?
Somebody is out of line. Nebraska cannot
be counted on both sides. At a venture,
one is disposed 10 accept the platform as the
expression of the republican sentiment of
Nebraska as to Cuba.
Ii is all very strange. The republican
champions Of beet sugar claim to be acting
IN prevent the destruction of that industry,
which they assert would be accomplished
by the reduction of the duty on Cuban sugar.
And yet their allies on the one hand are
low tariff democrats, and on the other are
republicans like Mr.. Elkins, whose propo-
sitiOn TO annex Cuba would remove the
tariff barrier altogether. Tomorrow will tell
tn tale. But whatever that tale may be,
the stand taken by the President was right,
and the country hOnorS him for it.
