Honey For Good Roads.

The national good roads convention.
held at st. Louis few days ago, was
attended by large number of enthu-
siasts who believe that the government
has the right to expend money for the
improvement of this country's highways.
Why shouldn't it Are not the highways
of as much Importance to the material
progress of this country as the harbors,
or some creek that cannot float cork
and upon which thousands of dollars are
expended annually?
There should be no hesitation on the
part of congress to appropriate money
for the improvement of the roads.
There is a constantly growing senti-
ment among the farmers that the govern
ment should exhibit more interest in
this road improvement business and if
the congressman listen to the voice of
their constituents they will vote right.

asks The Chicago Chronicle, and then
that newspaper goes on at some lenS'h
to discuss the case of Jackson w. Giles
vs. the Board of Registrars of Mont
pomerv county, Alabama, which 1t says
NAV be one of comparatively little I'M
portance or one of very great Importance,
Giles. a colored man, was oenIed the
right of registration as voter under the
new constitution of Alabama, and he
sought his right in court OF the Ohit-
ed States, claiming that the provision OF
fine state constitution under which his
rioht was denied was in conflict with
the national constitution and therefore
void The court below decided against
Giles and he appealed to the supreme
court. The supreme court sustained the
lower tribunal. According to state
ment from the bench by Justice Holmes
of the decision and reasoning Ct the court
the relief sought is denied on the ground
that the case is political. Justice
Holmes is quoted as saying that the
court declined to pass on the question OF
jurisdiction, but refused relief because
fine interference of the supreme court IN
cases presenting only political questions
would be "unheard Of" This would seem
rather a queer position for the highest
court in the land to assume. When the
question of the rights of citizen TO
cast his vote is involved that tribunal
takes the ground that it cannot inter-
fere because the case is political.
On the other hand, the court no doubt
takes the ground that each state has the
right to pass upon the qualifications OF
its own voters. 1t simply reverts to the
old question of state rights" In view
of the fact of many of the southern
states placing legal obstacles in the way
of the colored man and denying him the
right to vote, would it not be well for
those states to act honestly and fairly
in the matter and cease to have repre-
sentation in congress on the basis OF the
negro population. If the negroes are not
recognized as citizens of those common
wealths why should they have any rep
resentation in our national law-making
body? No doubt the supreme court
could decide this question with as much
grace as they did that of Giles.

Railroads and Highways.

President Roosevelt was speaker be-
fore the national good roads convention
held in St. Louis during the past week.
In discussing the subject of good roads
the president took up the matter of rail
roads, remarking upon the growth OF the
s'iron road" He said:
"Of course, during the last century
there has been an altogether phenomenal
growth in one kind of road, wholly un-
known to the people of old-the iron
road. The road of the railway Is, OF
course, something purely modern. Now,
a great many excellent people have pro-
ceedcd upon the assumption that, some
how or other, having good railways is a
substitute for having good highways
good ordinary roads. \ more untenabie
position can not be imagined. What the
railway does is to develop the country,
and, of course, its development implies
that the developed country will need
more and better roads"

The Object Is Not Obtained.

One of the laws passed at the recent
session of the legislature reads as fol-
lows:
Section l. Any manufacturer ven
dor or dealer who shall sell, cause to be
sold, fill or cause to be filled for the pur
pose of sale OF other use, any can or
other container with gasoline or ben
zine, in quantities of more than one
pint and less than six gallons, without
such can or other container being of
bright red color and plainly tagged, label
ed or branded in large plain letters, with
the name of the contents, or any manu-
factuuer, vendor, or dealer who shall sell
or cause to be sold, fill or cause to be
filled for the purpose of sale or other
use with kerosene or other illuminating
oils, in quantities of more than one pint
and less than six gallons, any can or
other container, when said can or other
container is not of red color, shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and,
upon conviction, shall be subject to fine
of not more than one hundred dollars"
The object sought by the legislators
is not obtained In order to protect the
public from explosions and their attend
ant bad results il was deemed advisable
to have some distinguishing feature in
the manner of canning gasoline and ben
zine, they to be put up in red cans, while
kerosene was to be canned in white recep-
tacles. This would have insured the

careful handling of the two former oils,
but as the law was passed kerosene must
also be put up in cans of carmine hue.
Servant girls who are in the habit of
using quantities of kerosene oil with
which to start the fire in the cooking
stove in the early morning hours when
the mercury is at low ebb will do well
to study up on the difference between the
colors, "red and bright red' for the law
says that the illuminating fluid over
which the Standard Oil company has in
fuence must be deposited in a can of the
brightest carmine. Failure to secure
knowledge on this particular subject may
lead them into trouble with the kerosene
can attached to their apron strings.

THUNDER MOUNTAIN.

Reports from the New Thunder Mountain
Gold Fields grow steadily better. There will
undoubtedly be great rush into the district
this year. Last year the news concerning
the new discoveries of free-milling ore had
only begun to leak out and before October
more than 20, 900 claims were filed.
From every quarter there will be people
going to Thunder Mountain, and all will
want reliable information as to the best route
and how soon the trail will be open. Many
who cannot go viii want to invest in good
property there, and the time to do that is now
when money is needed for mine equipment
The Thunder Mountain Gold Mining and
Milling Company has splendid property of
100 acres, across which there is tremendous
vein of free-.nilling ore 30 feet wide and run
ming right into Rainbow Peak Mr.. Charles
j. Perkins, General Manager of the Company,
spent all last summer in the district. He is
now at the Company's eastern offices in New
York, where he will remain until some time
in May purchasing equipment and describing
the property to all who wish to buy shares.
He also possesses full information regarding
the district and makes it point to answer
all questions about it, without charge, so that
all who are interested may write and get this
information free and at first hand.
The Company which Mr.. Perkins repre-
sents made its first public offering of stock in
January, and so many subscriptions have been
received that great deal of the equipment
for the mine has been purchased and prepared
for shipment as soon as the way is opened for
travel.
1t is estimated that fully three millions Of
dollars of machinery and equipment is now
on the way to Thunder Mountain for various
companies. One of the companies sold stock
year ago at so cents share and now it is
not to be bought for $500 per share. Thirty
other mines are opened and are getting into
richer ore every day.
The property which this Company owns is
second to none in the district, and the more
one learns about it and its officers the greater
the desire becomes to own some of it's stock.
For information regarding it, price of shares,
etc., write to
