Where newspapers are so numer-
Gus and the cost so little. there shou!i
not be Il home to which one or mrre
good papers do not make reynlat
visits. There are homes, though not
very numerous, where no paper goes.
We pity the children in such homes,
no books. no papers. the neighbor-
hood gossip their source of infnrma-
ton. Parents have no moral right
to thus criminslly neglect those
given over to their care. They were
yivrn to them for better purpose.
Books, good books. and wholesome
newspapers trim away much of the
rough and make polished men and
women out of crude material. We
declare that the vulgar or Sensational
journals should not lind place among
the readers of any home. But we
tsk- pride in saving but few. if any.

lima are addicted to the habit of pub

A SIMPLE PLAN.

Lay of SYSTEM of roads consisting
Of two public highways crossing At
right angle in the county seat Of each
county and one running North and
South, the other East and West and
meeting the roads from al Joining
counties, let these be macsdamized
or made otherwise good, permanent
roads.
Let the State bear one half Of the
expense, the towns one fourth and
the county the other fourth. Let the
construction OF these be com pleted in
ten years. 1t will be found by exam
inatIon that ten wears Of animal road
tax in most Of tho counties will be
equal To the cost Of the roads.
The State might pay most, or all Of
its half in labor amt material.
The towns will receive The greatest
benefit from the roads for long time
taxed for their fourth. The country
people will be bel lped so much that
they can easily afford TO bear their
share Of the burden. This pan would
give us a system OF parallel roads
running each way throughout the
whole county about tweIty miles
apart. The people seeing the advan-
tage OF these would soon devise ways
Of building cross roads AID feeders.
And at The expiration Il ten YET ars the
plan could be extended aud modifird
go as To suit the local surroundings
and the whole country soon supplied
with good roads.
The State would soon get back all
OF it's money in the increased value Of
taxable property. We have not room
TO go into details as to engineers,
suprrin,endents and travelling prison
cages, etc. but all OF these can easily
be arranged.
What we want to saw is this or some
better plan should be at once de-
manded by the people 30 strongly
that every legislator would feel it bis
duty and interest TO see that it is al

THE INTERSTATE TRAIN ROBBER.
Baltimore Sun.

Among its other excellencies the
United States excels. unpleasantly, in
the matter of train robberies. Train
robbers have become 50 bold that rail-
road trains are held up in thickly
settled districts and the robbers are
seldom caught. This state of things
is discrcdit ablc 10 us. There are no
train robbers, it is said, in Canada
nor in Mexico. Ii is only in the
United States that Government mails
are seized by force and travellers muir
dered-all on account Of the remis,-
ness Of the Government. We have
an Interstate Commission to regulate
the running Of trains and to interfere
with rates and pooling. but no inter
state railroad detective corps TO pre-
vent the stopping Of trains and loot
ing Of passengers by making the train
robbers business Improbable. II the
masked high"ayman who stops "a
train and goes through" those
aboard did but once get 1t into his
head that train robber i, followed
persistently and Is as sure Of capture
Il
"mponshine" whiskev, the robbing
business would become unfa,hionable.
Ii may be said that it is the function
Of the States to detect and arrest
train robbers and that the Federal
Government has 40 jurisdiction. Bat
ii ne Federal Government has a right
to protect mail trains from strikers IL
surely ha- the RI hi 10 protect them
from robbers. The ingenuity that
based on interstate commerce the
idea cf Fe,ieral regulation nt railroad
management and Of the sale Of oleo-
margarine could tiud no d ilirulry in
d-vlsinr q basis. for interference with
less lawful occupations. The train
roober, like a burglar. is a murderer,
if need be. in the prosecution Of his
enterprise. How long will it be be-
fore Congress will ~ to protect the
