UNITED STATES.
SENATOR EARLE'S SCHEME.
How lie Would Secure Good Rondx
In This Country.

The unique figure in the good roads
world is State Senator Earle of De
troit. He was at one time connected
with the department of good roads in
quiries at Washington as an expert.
which office he was obliged to relin-
quish upon his election to the senate
He has scheme which if put into
practice would soon bring the millcn-
NAL dawn of good roads, says the Phil
adclphia North American. In explain
ing his scheme he said:
First, would have the government
make good road maps Of each county
in the United States. showing all the
public highways. | would have bad
roads printed in red, fairly good ones
in blue and the improved roads in black.
These would be published in pocket
form and sold for > cents each at all
postofiiccs. This would in effect com.
pei every farmer to see to it that his
road WAS improved, for he would soon
see the advantage of having his farm
located on one of the improved roads.
Second. | would levy Il tax of 30
cents Il year on every vehicle in the
land. This alone would yield an an
nual revenue of several millions. 1t
would furnish all the funds necessary
for the purpose. The tax would be Il
trihe and would be cheerfully paid by
most people SO long as 1t was to be de-
voted to the betterment Of highways"

The XnIne of Good ROnIS.

Good roads, like good streets, make
habitation along them most desirable.
They economiZe time and force in
transportation of products, reduce wear
and tear on horses, harness and vehi-
Giles and enhance the market value Of
veal estate. They raise the value of
farm lands and farm products and tend
to bcautify the country through which
they pass. They facilitate rural mail
delivery and are n potent aid to educa-
ton, religion and sociability. Charles
Sumner once said. THE road and the
schOclmaster are the two most impor
tant agents in advancing civilization"

Rebuilding Dismantled Line Through
Texas to Galveston.

Galveston, Tex. Sent. 26.-It is relia-
bly, reported that the Gulf and Inter-
state railroad win be rebuilt to Calves
ton and that st. Louis trust company
is Gathering the project In which the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway Is
largely interested. The Gulf & Inter-
state extends from Galveston to Reau-
mont, being 70 miles between the two
cities, and the shortest route by over
so miles from Galveston to east Texas
points. 1t has been in operation before,
up to two years ago, but was badly
wrecked by the Galveston storm, and
went into the hands OF receiver
The new deal calls for the connect
ing of the Texas Southern and the Or
ange & Northwestern by building the
intervening gap Of 120 miles, From
Beaumont to Orange. 18 miles, a new
line will be built to connect the Gulf
& Interstate with the Orange & North
western. The reconstruction of the 80
miles of the Gulf & Interstate from
High Island to Galveston will complete
the 400 miles of new road from Calves
ton to Marshall, penetra ting a rich oil,
rice and timber section of east Texas.
with a deeD-water outlet to Galveston.
The proposed project has been fin
anced. and work O. Re Texas South
ern and the OraH. & Northwestern

MILLERS MAKE COMPLAINT.
Wichita Flour Makers Before the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

Wichita, Kan, Sept 26.-The interstate
commerce commission have considered the
matter of the complaint of Wichita
against the Santa Fe and Rock Island
roads for alleged determinations against
Nichita-made flour. The millers of
Wichita charge that Texas gets a rate on
wheat from Wichita, which makes a diff
ferential of five cents between wheat and
wheat products and that hence Wichita,
which is the center of the wheat belt, can
not make flour for the Texas trade. Wfch-
tia alleges that Texas which raises only
seven million bushels of wheat annually
can not be made a natural milling state
without determinations by the railroads
The Wichita millers claim that the differ
entail enables the Texas millers to come
into Wichita and advance the price of
wheat from to 8 cents, thus compelling
them to do likewise; and that this ad-
vance is burden to them as it will not
enable than to compete with Texas millers
in their own state. The railroads intro
duced Frank Kell, of Wichita Falls, Tex.
to prove Notwithstanding the differential
Wichita millers can sell flour in Texas Z
cents per barrel less than the Texas mill
ers can. The Oklahoma millers have join
ed in the complaint with the Wichita
millers for the same reasons. The hear
ing will be concluded today

CLOSED IN HARMONY.
Connecticut Democratic Conven-
ti0n D0dged *. C. Platform.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 26..The
Democratic state convention adjourned
after nominating full state ticket and
adopting platform. The convention
which had promised to be one of the
most bitter in the history of the party
in this state closed in harmony. The
ticket nominated follows:
GOyernOr-Melbert B. Carey Ridge
field.
Lieutenant Governor-E. Kent Hub
bard, Jr., Middietown.
Secretary of State-Arthur B. Calkins,
Old Lime.
Treasurer-Phillip Hugo New Haven.
omptroller-Edward G. Kilduff. Wa
terbury.
Attorney General-Noble E. Pierce,
Bristol.
man-at-large-Homer Scum
mingS, Stamford.
The platform caused a debate in the
committee room, but once presented to
the convention as recommended by the
committee, it was adopted without de-
bate. A strenuous struggle had been in
the committee for endorsement of the
Kansas platform, but the committee re-
fused to mention the Kansas City docu-
ment and the fight practically ended
there.
The platform as adopted by the con-
vention reaffirms allegiance to the De
mocracy of the nation and reasserts
faith in its principles. 1t declares that
tue prices OF the necessities OF lie nave
been raised through illegal combina-
tons fostered by Republican legislation
and demands the repeal of all tariffs on
trust produced articles. The most
stringent enforcement of all legislative
laws against trusts and the passage of
such new laws as are required to, sup
plement and give potency to existing
statutes are demanded. Legislation is
demanded compelling publicity as to
the affairs of CORPORATIONS engaged in
interstate commerce and the enactment
of laws requiring all such corporations
before doing business outside the state
of their origin to show that they have
no water in their stock and they are
not designed to monopolize any branch
of business or the production of any
articles of merchandise
Reciprocity with Cuba is favored and
immediate reduction of tariff on Gu
ban exports is urged. Other p1anks pro-
test against the granting of ship sub
sides, favor the election of United
States senator by popular vote and de-
mand legislation to prevent government
by injunction.
The nomination for governor was the
only one that required a ballot. all
others going through by reclamation.

JOHNSON TURNED DOWN.
Union Pacific Strikers Do Not Wan
Any Interference.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 26.-John Mcneil.
grand president of the Brotherhood of
Boflermakers and Iron Shipbuilders, says
that the striking boilermakers of Union
Pacific road would not accept the SER
vice of Lee johnson, labor commissioner
of Kansas, who is quoted as saying he
would undertake to settle the strike. He
said the members of their body were able
to settle their own differences when the
railroad signifies its willingness to treat
with them.
The application of the Union Pacific
Railroad company for an injunction re-
straining the striking shopmen from
''picketing" its shops or interfering with
the new men came up in the federal court
today, with Judges Mcpherson and Mum
ger on the bench. Attorney Baldwin ask
ed permission to file testimony for tn.
railroad by affidavit. but attorneys for tn.
strikers objected and 1t was arranged that
the testimony should be heard orally be-
fore three photographers and later sub
initted to the court. Attorney Baldwin
complained to the court that the injune-
ton was being violated, but Judge Mum
ger said the matter of contempt was not
before the court and refused to hear testi-
mony.
