His subject was the tragedies Of

the salient points of Hamlet. Othello.
Macbeth, King Lear and Julius Caesar.
He said that for the frst three acts
Hamlet is slower than anything else
THAT Shakespeare ever wrote. After
those, when Hamlet thrust mis- sword

the action became swift and went on

GOOD ROADS.

1t may be truly said that each adj
vanced step in modes of travel tends to de-
stroy the earlier method of transportation.
As long as the commerce of this country
depended on wagons as mode of carriage
and the great cities could be supplied
only by them. the roads were kept up,
but when the railroad, which was a
cheaper as well as quicker way of
transportation, was introduced it led the
people to neglect their wagon roads.
At the present time the people of the
different towns of the state elect road
commissioners for a term of years to
keep the roads in repair, but many times
the money for this purpose is not spent
in such way as TO get the most good
from it, A large amount of road may
be repaired with the fund, but the ques-
ton is, will the road be durable or will
| ii have to be reconstructed in a few
years? This mistake in construction
may be due to the fact that the commits
sioners have not made study of road
material.
The idea seems to prevail among the
taxpayers that good work cannot be ac-
complished without a large sum of
money. The first cost of good road
may be somewhat large, but in the
course of a few years it will prove
cheaper than one that was poorly made
which requires an outlay each year.
liz order to have good roads careful
study should be made of the different
materials, and those selected that are
likely to prove the most satisfactory. 1t
cannot be expected that poorly drained
road, built of clay or other material that
is without body, will be durable if there
is to be much heavy traffic upon it.
The old Roman roads furnish IA good eX-
ample of durability. They have stood
for centuries with little repair, and at
present are in better co diIiun than many
of the newly construct, d ores. Would ii
not, then, be economical for the state to
have charge of the rod building. since
poor roads make burdrnsome taxes and
yet do not satisfy the people:
Good roads increase the value of prop.
erty. Il can be shown in states where
state roads have been constructed that
property has been sold ct a good prce
that had been on the market several
years before their construction.
At present the postofiice department is
establishing free delivery routes in many
parts of the state. but these cannot be
satisfactorily maintained unless the
roads are placed in better condition
Some of them are almost impossible
during the spring and fall rains. This
may be accomplished by having a state
highway commission appointed capable
of making roads scientifically, and fur
nished with machinery necessary fol
testing road material. The Legislature
should make laws to carry on the work
preserve the roads and give the state
system of road making thorough trial
as the present system1s bungling as wei
as Unsatisfactory to the pt ople.

De NOUNGED TRUSTS
Commercial Congress Passes
Resolution After Decision to
Drop the Question.
The Vote on the Proposition Was
Close, Following Heated
Debate.
Trust System Declared to be
Destroying Hope Of Country's
Youth.

ST. Paul Aug 22-Altho yesterdays
discussion of the trust question and the
later action of the resolutions commit
tee in ignoring the question had been
regarded as the end OF the considera-
tion of that problem before the trans
Mississippi Commercial Congress, such
proved not To be the case. When the
congress was called 10 order today for
the closing session j. a. Gardner. OF St.
Louis, secured the floor ana moved the
adoption of a resolution which he pre-
sented. These slightly differed from
the Wetmore resolutions OF earlier IN
the session and precipitated another
lively debate. The point OF discussion
was more whether the proposition
would be generally looked on as parti-
SAN action by the congress than on the
merits of the case. Little OF impor-
tance had been left over for this closing
session and the attendance MAS small
but the warmth of the debate made up
for that A vote was finally reached. a
resolution was adopted 20 to 19 as fol-
lows:
"Whereas. the trust system has been
and is a menace to our republican IN
stitutions, and
"Whereas. if allowed TO continue to
form combinations in restraint OF trade
ana the elimination Of competition. the
wealth of the entire country viii be
concentrated in the hands OF the few,
and
"Whereas, said combinations are cal
culated To destroy the hope and anbl-
tion of the youth of the country, IT be-

"Resolved by this congress. that the

specttully urged to Use all power vested
