GOOD ROADS.
Some Practical Hints From d Southwest Cor
respondent.


Editor of The Times:
Sir.-,Just now we hear great deal about
good roads Just now. when what we
have are well nigh impossible. we are
full of good resolutions as to not letting
them get in this condition again. But as
have had their effect-See story OF Arhan-
sas Traveller.
We want good roads. How much? All!
there's the rub. II some kind fairy would
only build them for us free of cost, we
might accept the gift, though even In
that case the kicker would be nightly
in evidence. The location would be wrong
or the kind not wanted.
We want good roads. How Will we get
them? There it is again, II we could
build them ~ WITH bh wind What r9ads eorf
days, pursuant to call and resolutlng
would accomplish the desired result. no
good fairy would be needed. Talk is
cheap" but we must use something else
than our tongues to lick roads into proper
shape. 1t takes muscle of men and horses.
it takes tools and machines and steam,
above it all it takes good judgment and
know how
Now, Mr.. Editor, 1t takes money, all
these things require money and heaps
of it before you get the good roads you
wish for and resolute for but never dive
deep into your pockets for. Some people
are perfectly willing 10 invest 81 in order
to make ST. but insist on having the y
first. Well there is no sort of doubt that
good roads is one Of the investments
which pays two for one but not III adj
vance.
But after we have made up our minds
to raise an adequate fund, q fund large
enough to justify the employment Of cost
ly machinery and of costly supervision,
so that the work done this year won't
have to be done over next year. nor, for
that matter, ever. there is another diff
ficulty in the way. 1t is our idolatry. Our
real God is dirt. We worship dirt above
all else. The law recognizes this wor-
ship. For. on a judgment for debt, the

"CALIFO RNIA VENUs
WAS MURDERS VICTIM.
Story of Her Fast Life Told by Her
d Slayer, Edward NIarshutz-Loved
Wine md Cigarettes.

i ~
SAN FRANCISCO, October 22-(spe-
cial)-The story Of the circumstances
which led to the murder of Marian Nolan.
known as the California Venus by
Edward Marshutz, is told graphically in
history written by the dead man and
sent to a friend a few days after he had
determined to take the womans life
Julian Brandon, friend of Marshutz, has
turned the letter over to Coroner Leland
1t is the story Of man attempting to
reform a vicious woman. It begins by
describing how he first met the beautiful
artists model. In February three years
ago he was in the private rooms of a sa-
loon singing when the Venus in the
next room, began joining in the same
song.
They soon made one party. He did not
think he would ever see her again, but
some days later received message to go
to her. This acquaintance suddenly be-
came 4 strong friendship In a short time
he learned she was married. and declared
he could not associate with married wo-
men.
Then she told him she was getting d-
vorced privately. The divorce was sue
the house, claiming it to be the son of
her niece. Marian later acknowledged.
with much weeping. to Marshutz, that
the child was hers, and said: "Oh, Ed, I
don't want you to marry me, only see
that I get on the stage"
Another child was born to Marian No
Ian, and Marshutz was the father. In his
sad story he constantly speaks of his
"angel boy and if the little one had
lived things might have had different
ending.
She fell in with a low set of drinking
women, and from all appearances became
one of them.
What I could write on this awful pc
riod would make one shudder," he writes.
The baby died and Marshutz seems new
er to have been the same man again.
He tells how it affected him. He then
writes:
Il told her that would defray all her
expenses to New York and pay for her
studies at the Lyceum there. together
with all her living expenses and other
wise. But she could not get out of her
early way of living off the bounty Of 9TH
ers"
He tried vaudeville for himself and went
to Chicago. Three weeks later he got a
telegram about the baby's death. and re-
turned to find the Venus" still the victim
Of champagne and cigarettes.
This maddened Marshutz, but he en-
deavored to break her of her habits Fin
ally he resolved that she were better
dead, and for himself life held nothing
of value.
1T is the end he wrote and now that
I am finished with this. which has taken
several days to prepare now 7:45 P. NJ,
