Good Judgment Needed.

A road, like house, must have a
good foundation in order to last. If
built without one it will not wear long.
They are having an experience of this
kind down in Ten nessee, where the
authorities yielded to popular clamor
and built many miles of macadamized
roads. In order TO extend il over as
great an area as possible only about
six inches of macadam was laid, with
the result that in short time the
the roads were in bad condition Ii
does not pay TO construct roads on the
Cheap John plan. 1t Is far better to
lind out just how much money can be
expended each year, and then build
the roads on a durable and lasting
plan, extending the work as rapidly
as the finances will permit, but no
faster. The people of this country
are becoming alive to the necessity
OF having good roads but in the con-
struction of these roads sound iudg =
ment and good business methods
sould be employed.

The case of the government against
the Northern Securities Company has
been decided in favor of the former
in the St. Paul courts under the anti
trust law, And so this wasn't a mere
bluff of the Roosevelt administration,
after all. The government has won
before tribunal composed of men of
high judicial standing and against the
most eminent counsel which the trusts
could secure. A more notable victory
has not recently been achieved and a
more popular one with the people it
would be difficult to imagine. Con-
gratulations are due to the President
and to the Attorney General, the first
a man of firm purpose, the second one
of the most accomplished and high
of American lawyers. This
decision mist be rather convincing
evidence that the Republic fight
against illegal combinations is not
sham battle.

Funny Side of II.

Some persons up in Montcalm
county say that, now local option is
carried there, it will be so dry around
Howard City, Greenyille and Stanton,
that wagons will go around with their
tongues out and ice will have to be
soaked all night in water before it is
wet enough to make lemonad They
say the fish will kick up dust in the
bed of Mud Lake and that the lake
will have TO be sprinkled before one
can go fishing: that sparks from the
railway locomotives will set fire to
the ponds and burn up wagon loads of
bull frogs before they can be extin :
guished, and the ground will be so
hard and dry that the crawfsh holes
can be pulled up and shipped off for
gas pipes Grand Rapids Herald.

A Tickling Tribute.

The Bedding Banner is one of the
cleanest local papers in the state.
Its editor, f. B. Lapham, is a fair
minded, courteous gentleman whom
IT Is pleasure TO meet. Mr. Lap
ham was candidate for mayor on the
republican ticket at the recent city
election, and in last weeks issue he
made very complimentary mention of
his opponent. In these days when to
differ from one in political views is
little less than a crime,-if one is to
judge by the daily press,-it is re-
freshing to meet men who speak of
their opponents in terms of commen-

The weather for the past week has
been very disagreeable in this region
the wind has continued steady in the
east and heavy rains with an almost
incessant downpour have made bad
work with the roads and streets in
many places. Cisterns are full to

cellars are flooded. These are days
that make people living in cities wish

American Protective Wool is max
ing money for the sheep raisers. Ohio
Xxx washed wool has sold in the last
four years from 2S1sc to 3l1ac pound
against 10 cents pound during the
three years which the Wilson tariff
act, with its free wool clause, was in
operation. This rise in price has
greatly stimulated wool production,
the clip of 1902 being 346, BAL 900 pounds
against 269, 1853 02l pounds in 1897, at
the end of the free wool period. This
has occurred in spite of the fact that
the high price OF meat during part
of this period has induced many far
mers to kill both lamb and mutton.
