A NATIONAL NEED.

in an article on good roads, written
shortly before his death for the New
York News, Hon. p. j. Otey, late con-
gresham from Virginia, said:
in my opinion the most important
ouestion before the American people
today is that of good roads. Good
roads, like all other good things. cost.
Cheap articles are of inferior quality:
hence our bad roads. II we are to have
good roads we must pay for them. 10
nav for them we must be taxed. Then.
If taxed, how? BY the federal or state

expended in the fOrty-tive states and
four territories of the United States
ia proportion to population. 1t should
become a continuing appropriation till
good roads become network over the
land.
"Will anybody tell me why the
HATED States government should moi
construct good roads in the various
states and teri tories? Is there any
difference in thus applying public
money and applying it to creeks. rivers

A Million If He Marries.

In the town of Bowling Green, O., is

at once, Of course, be hundreds of
worthy women willing to assist the
young fellow to qualify for his Inherit

going into incOgnito and remain a day
laborer on the streets Of some city, in
order to be sure that the woman who
marries him will do so for love and not
tor his fortune. 1t will be well, there
fore, for young women not TO be too
quick TO repulse young street laborers,
as they may be entertaining a Schmidt

Selling the Philippines.

General Burt's solution of the Phil

1t has the earmarks of genuine
Yankee ingenuity about it, too.

But simple and ingenius as General
Burt's plan is, somebody must find fault

on to say: THE proposed selling

small amount we paid for the islands,
and it ia too low when we figure up

besides, what have the Japanese ever

A MONUMENTAL BLUFF.

One of the hugest exhibitions OF polit'
zeal trickery on record is the present
attitude of the republican leaders TO-
ward the paramount question OF trusts.
For a long time past, especially dur
ing the last few months, the entire
country mas been crying for congress
sional legislation bearing upon the
subject, but in the face of this the re-
publican majority in the house has
deliberately and de6antly held up all
efforts looking toward even the slight
est move to take some manner of action
in the premises. The democratic mi
nority was willing--it was anxious-to
do something, and even went so far as
to issue a public statement insisting
that something be done. This demo-
cratic minority also voted sOlidlv in
congressional session against adjourn
ment until some steps could be taken.
The democratic members placed them
selves unequivocally on record as true
representatives of the people, but the
arrogant republican majority ignored
almost contemptuously their wishes
and checkmated their every effort.
Now, forsooth, when congress has
adjourned, when it is too late to do
anything, comes the news that Presi-
dent Rooseyelt-he of strenuosity and
affection for Booker-is drafting an
antitrust bill. This would be very lu-
dicrous if it were not serious. It's
like locking the door after the horse
is stolen, or any one of thousand 9th
er foolish things.
Teddy and his lieutenants must take
the American people for pack of MIN
compoops indeed if they imagine that
they will be so easily deceived. So
obviously is the republican party IN
the relentless grasp of the trusts that
It's leaders have not sufficient back bone
and moral courage to even lift their
voices IN condemnation of the octopus.
But everything will come out in the
wash. and the washing will occur
simultaneously with the congressional
elections this fall, when indignant,
trust ridden constituencies will pro. |
coed to grit their teeth, land with both |
feet on the present autocratic majority !

CAR OF MELONS NET SI.4O.
Albany Grower Gets Check for That
Amount. Prices Are Off.

From the Albany Herald.
In spite of the reports that have
been received from some quarters of
the continued prevalence of good prices
for watermelOns growers have become
exceedingly wary, and take the glow
ing presentations of commission
houses with grain or two of salt.
Prices for both watermelons and
canteloupes we're satisfactory enough
early in the season. and for q time
they held up remarkably we'll, but in
the end quotations fell off and returns
became less and less satisfactory.
Several days ago a certain Albany
grower shipped to one of the eastern
markets u car of watermelOBs. The
fruit graded up above the average, and
fairly good returns were expected from
the house to which they were consign-
ed. The feelings of the gentleman
who shipped them may be imagined
when it is related that the check
which he received yesterday turned
into his treasury the sum of $l.40, out
of which must be paid the cost of pick
ing and lOaIlng, to say nothing OF the
expense Of cultivation.
Cases similar to this one may be dis.
covered upon inquiry, though no 9TH
err car has brought quite as little MS
81. 40.
In view OF the returns they are now
receiving it is not surprising that the
growers are 'tired" of shipping.

WORK is THE SOLUTION.

For the second time within the past
few years moaning wall has come
from Georgia's supreme court that 1t
is overworked. On the first occasion
the people, believing it, doubled the
number of it's members, which is now
six instead of three. Now comes a
second complaint. The members are
overworked, so they say, and they de-
sire that either another increase be
made in their number or else court
of appeals be established, which would
take much business OF their hands,
though not court of last resort.
Those are two solutions, but there is
is another just as practicable and
much more sensible, reasonable and
just. Suppose that instead OF adding
any more justices TO the supreme
bench the esteemed gentlemen who at
present hold these exalted positions
devote more time to their official du-
ties.
While Justice of the supreme court
is or should be unquestionably worthy
of confidence and respect he is neither
AN idol nor demi-god, but a necessary
servant of the people, paid by them TO
perform specified work.
Let the justices put in full days
work each day six days in the week,
as all other state house officers are
compelled 10 do, and not HE so fire.
quently away to pleasant resorts while
still drawing their pay.
Just little more work and a little
less sentiment would remedy things
wonderfully.

DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS.
Distressing Situation Of Farmers Arsund
Opelika.

If reports are correct the crops
about Opelika, Ala, are IN deplora-
BILE condition. One large farmer, who
has 900 acres OF cotton, says that the
entire plantation will not produce AZ
teen bales IF cotton this year. A dis
patch says this is a typical case. Many
farmers have cut down their corn for
fodder, and the fodder crop will not be
onc-tenIh the average. There have
been only four slight rains since
March, and neither of these was suffi-
cient to imI art any moisture to the
soil. One cantalOupe grower planted
800 worth of seed. and got returns of
$25 for his crop. This is a distressing
situation. 1t is sincerely hoped that
conditions are not so bad rs they now
seem.
