Rural Delivery Notes

Applicants for the position of rural
carriers are subjected TO an eXamina-
ton in respect to their qualifications
for the service and the esteem in which
they are held by the inhabitants along
the routes. Seventeen to tifty-five Is
the age limit except in the case of war
veterans who are physically competent
to do the work.
A member of congress. speaking of
the rural free delivery not long ago,
said that were the service dead loss
financially to the post Office depart
ment he would be in favor of meeting
the loss out of the public treasury be-
cause of the educational benefits al
ready shown.
Rural free delivery is becoming po-
tent factor in the construction OF good
roads and their proper maintenance.
A good rural service means good roads,
and as the people insist upon the for
mer they must eventually obtain the
latter.

FOR GOOD ROADS,.
The Advantages of State Aid In
Highway Improvement.


When Mr. Brownlow of Tennessee
introduced a bill in congress appropri-
ating S2O,OOO,00O as fund for national
aid to road improvement in the United
States a good many people were star
tied at the size of the figures. The
amount, however, seems very small
compared with the sum that single
state now proposes to raise and spend.
The New York Legislature has adopted
q constitutional amendment proposing
to raise and spend S5.OO0,OOO annually.
for ten years, or S50,OOOO0O in ALL
This amendment must pass the legisla-
ture again in 1905, and then it will go
before the people for ratification or re-
lection. 1t can reasonably be expected
that the measure will meet with popu-
lar favor The people of New York
have given the principle of state aid
thorough trial, and the results have
been highly satisfactory.
One of the objections most loudly
urged against both state and national
aid is that it will encourage local COM
munities to neglect the improvement
Of their roads and depend on the state
and the federal government to do the
work for them. But this objection has
proved to be purely imaginary. In no
place where state aid has been tried
has any such result appeared. On the
contrary, aid from the state treasury
only stimulates local self help. 1t
arouses warm competition among the
counties and townships to secure a
share of the state aid funds. Instead
Of sitting down and folding their hands,
as predicted, the local communities are
raising a great deal more money under

Good Roads In Maine.

1t is stated that Maine for the first
time leads the United States as n
granite producing state. The greatest
increase for the year 1901 over that of
1900 was in limestone. One Of the
chief factors of the industry during
the year was the increased value OF
crushed stone, which covers granite,
limestone and sandstone. This is at
tributed largely to the increase in
building better roads.

The disadvantages OF such q state

REPUBLICAN SUCCESS CERTAIN

REPUBLICAN SUCCESS CERTAIN
Less than 1900 votes were cast in
the recent Democratic primary, al
though the last Depocratic registra.
tion held few weeks later, shows over
2100 Democrats. This leaves the Dem
ocratic gang guessing where the other
500 or more Democratic votes will &c
in Novemb Der. They can safely wager
they will not go for Mr.. Yeiser. He
got less than 1000 In the recent pri'
mary. and he will do well If he gets
that many in the general election. II
i we'll known fact that many of the
Potter men will not vote for him. No
sensible Republican will support the
Democratic ticket. and Mr.. JEFF J.
Read will start out with almost the
solid Republican vote Of over 1900. A
few Republicans may not vote, a few
soreheads may vote the independent
ticket, but none will vote for the Yei-
ser ring. With less than 800 major
ity of registered Democratics, many
of whom are not Democrats and will
not vote the Democratic ticket, and
the Potter and independent elements
Of Democratic to reckon with, there
are no reasonable grounds for claim
ing the Democratic ticket can win.
Mr.. Read and the Republican ti,het
will get the solid Republican vote.

A LESSON FOR OTHERS.

The salary of the msyor of PaducAh
was raised to $500 year before May
or Yeiser went into Office. for three
reasons. The first was that the new
ordinance required the mayor to main
tain regular Office hours and give bis
whole time to his duties. The second
was that it was anticipated that Padu-
cab was to soon go into the second
class, and it was deemed consistent
with the dignity of the position aud
the increase in responsibility and du.
ties, to increase the remuneration Of
the mayor. The third was chat DR..
Lang. the mayor, was one OF DIR.
Yeiser's staunchest friends, and used
hiS influence to have the salary raised
partly as an evidence of his friendship
and good will.
Now watch the rerult. The salary
was raised and Mayor Yeiser was
elected, largely through the influence
aud support Of Mayor Lang. One OF
the first things he did was to begin
neglecting the Office hours, and it il
said it has been persistenflv kept ny
since. Often the mayor. cannot b.
found, and not long ago when several
Louisville visitors were here on pub
lie business, the mayor could not be
located anywhere, and never once
showed up to Welcome the strangers
within our gates.
Next the mayor began to busy him
self trying TO prevent Paducsh's 30
in in the second clsss. and was said
to be instrumental in having the in
junction suit lied against the city in
order TO prevent it, although the
prospect OF becoming second class
. CITY it WAS one of the main reasons the
salary was made larger. y
