We are exceedingly anxious for road
improvement all over the State, and for
that reason we shall regret to see be-
ginning made at rates that will virtually
prohibit future work A cost of nearly
5000 per mile for level road, conven-
lent for water and land transportation,
and near the quarries means much
greater cost for roads not so favorably
situated. II is hard fact that we can
make no general road improvements at
such a cost. Possibly it cannot be done
for less; if that is true the bids should be
rejected and the project abandoned. We
understand that in New Jersey similar
roads are built at from 5000 TO $1,000
per mile, and the stone is shipped from
Delaware at that. We know, too, tha
some Of the finest roads in that state ar
built of gravel, and that they have laste'

POLICE ARE AFTER
GAMBLING MACHINES
Captured Three in a Raid
on Two Democratic Clubs
Last Night

As the result of a raid made by the
police last night, three slot machines
were taken from club rooms and removed
to the police station. The clubs entered
were the North End Athletic Club and
the Democratic League. Two machines
were taken from the latter place and all
three were well stacked with money.
The removal of the gambling devices
caused considerable excitement in the vi
clnity of the two club houses and when
the news spread, members of both or
ganizations gathered in groups in front
of the city hall to discuss the situation.
Other organizations who possess ma
chimes may be visited tonight. Al
though il is said that warrants had been
issued, no arrests have as yet been made.
The police will not talk on the matter,
but il is thought that the captured
gambling machines will be destroyed.
The Democratic League has retained
Josiah Marvel as its counsel and he will
make formal demand OF Chief of Police
George Black, probably to-day, for the
release of the machines.
The attorney contends that the police
had no right in the first place to take
the machines and will fight the matter
if necessary, in court.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Louisiana the Paradise Of wives

Louisiana the Paradise Of Wives
From the Chicago Record Herald
The Louisiana Supreme Court mas
affirmed the constitutionality OF an act
passed by the Legislature at its last
session which provides for the punish
ment with Imprisonment at hard labor
of men who desert their wives or fail
TO support their wives and children. A
number of arrests We're made shortly
after the law went into effect but pun
ishment OF the culprits was suspended,
as the act was supposed TO be unconsti
tutional. The Supreme Courts decision
now settles the matter. and in future
the Louisiana man who gets married
must expect TO bear the consequences.
II is to be hoped that the law will
not have Il tendency TO discourage
matrimony, and there is no likelihood
that IL viii. II IL does, the ones who
permit themselves to be frightened
away from marriage by it will be better
single anyway. Louisiana has made a
good start in this matter and should
now provide for the Imprisonment at
hard labor OF wife-bcaters. That done.
the State will have a clear lead in at
least one important respect.

The committee has been in the field
less than six months, yet vast major
ity Of the saloons are closed on Sun
day, and the great public gambling
house has closed altogether the asser-
ton being made by those interested in

operating the saloon after the gambling
annex was destroyed. Several other
small saloons with gambling anneXes

Hioher Mathematics.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The Democrats are carrying Indiana
again. They do It on the eve of every
important canvass. Sometimes they
used to carry the State on election
days, but those times ended several
years ago. Cleveland carried Indiana
i'm 1892 but since then it has been con-
stantly Republican, and the chances
are that it will be so in 1904. The old
Democratic combination of the solid
South. with New York New Jersey.
Connecticut. and Indiana worked for a
few years. but II is no longer feasible.
Even IL it should be made to work In
1904, It would not carry the country
The Democrat who can figure out "a
nearer approach to victory for his
party in 1904 than IL made i'm 1900 has
command over the resources Of
mathematics which might be Of advan-
tage to him If applied in some legiti-
mate business.

THE ADVENT OF A NEW POPE
II Generally Brings a Change In All
Great Appointments.

Rome July 9.-Although Pope Leo
is one Of the bestowed Of the popes,
the situation in the church now is
that while there is one party which
would do anything possible to have
him longer, there is another which
thinks a change in the papacy would
further their interests as well as those
of the church. The former party is
composed OF all the friends OF those
who are now in power and who have
secured the best posts. both with re-
gard to honors and positions, as well
as financially. These understand that
change may mean practical oblivion
for them.
The other party is composed OF all
those who have been kept in the back
ground and whose only hope is in the
new administration.
II must be considered that a new
pope generally brings a change in all
the great appointments. including the
papal secretary Of state and vicar of
Rome. the representative of the pom
| tiff in spiritual affairs; the vice chan
cellor. who has charge Of Issuing the
papal bulls; the grand penitentiary.
who presides at the tribunal OF peni-
tentiaries, granting absolution under
certain circumstances, and the librar-
ian Of the Holy Church, besides all
other positions more or less important
connected with or depending on these
great dignitaries.
There is only one man who holds
such position as to be sure TO profit
by the election of a new pope. II ths
usual custom is observed. This Is the
secretary of the consistorial congrega'
ton. who during the conelave. acts al

that their control will be exercised in

has in a measure justified itself in the
