A NATIONAL COOP ROADS BILL.

1t is a dull Republican congressman
who cannot suggest some way of get
ting into the federal treasury. Rep
resentative w. P. Brownlow of Ten
nessee is not a duh Republican. He
has introduced a bill which, II passed
and put into effect, ought to relieve the
treasury of some millions of dollars
every year. 1t is a bill TO create in
the Department of Agriculture a bu-
reau to be known as the Bureau of
Public Roads, and to provide for a
system Of national, state and local CO.
operation in the permanent improve
ment of the public highways"
The purpose of the bill, if we I'M
derstand it, is to provide for the con-
struction of a system of good public
roads throughout the country, the gem
eral government paying one-half the
cost, and the state. county. township
or owners of abutting lands paying the
other half, according to whatever ar
engagements may be made between the
interested parties. Wherever state,
will furnish one-half of the necessary
money to permanently improve a pub
lie road, the general government is to
put up the other half. The bill starts
out with an appropriation of $50, 900, 900,
though manifestly this is regarded as
just a beginning. Once the work had
been started and the government COM
mitted to policy of good roads build
ing, it would take more than that per
year to meet the demands of all of
those congressman who would be dip
ping into the pork barrel. The scheme
is quite as ambitious as that of build
ing irrigation reservoirs for the pur-
pose of retaining the arid lands of
certain of the Western states. But, as
a matter of fact. if it is a proper func-
tion of the government to build such
reservoirs, and canals to and from
them, TO which the Republicans have
committed Congress, it is difficult to
see why the government should not
also enter upon a policy of providing
the whole country with a system of
good roads, at the expense of the fed
eral treasury. A vastly greater num-
Der of people would be benefited by
good roads than will be benefited by
the irrigation scheme.
But. except in cases where the gov
eminent would be directly benefited,
as in the construction of road for
military purposes, the improvement of
the highways should be left to the To-
cal authorities. There is no more
ardent advocate of good roads to be
found anywhere than the Morning
News, but we don't believe it is the
general governments place to provide
these roads for us. We ought to do it
for ourSeIyas

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier Journal
Dem.) says: 1.-THE presumption is we
shall have another abundant harvest
this year, and if the present business
activity keeps up we shall certainly
have another currency famine in the
fall. The requirements of our business
have grown so fast that they have
about passed the limits of our money
supply when the treasury begins lock-
ing up millions at the time of great
est activity. Either the treasury
should go out of the banking business
or we should effectually revise our
currency system as soon as possible
The Philadelphia Record (Dem)
says: "Mr. Rockefeller ought to pro-
vide professorship in the University
of Chicago for Prof. Taylor, who
teaches political economy and finance
in the University of Michigan. He
justifies Mr.. Rockefeller in raising the
price of oil on the ground of his benef-
cent use of the resulting income. In
this country, he says, we do not levy
taxes to secure money for big improve
ments. Private capital does it, and
taxes the public for it by means of
prices. When Mr.. Rockefeller raises
the price of oil few cents says this
learned economist, he forces the pub
~ " litOilSy lOI lnC COll6C-
ton of a great body of productive cap
ital.' That is, the money is so much
more useful in Mr.. Rockefellers hands
than in the hands of the people he
squeezes 1t out of that they ought to
give up cheerfully."
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd,) says: 1.-THE address by Chief
Justice Parker of New York before
the Georgia Bar Association next June
will serve a desirable end if it results
in having his picture printed For an
alleged presidential candidate. Judge
Parker is almost unique, in that his
countenance is unfamiliar to the vast
majority of the Democratic party. Not
one Democrat in 500 right here in New
England would know his portrait If
he should happen to see it unlabeled.
The Richmond Times Dispatch
(Dem.) says: THE great state
of Alabama is not afraid to
trust its interests in the hands
of old men. If we mistake not.
her two representatives in the United
States Senate are the Oldest men in
that body. Certain it is that Senator
Pettus, who was on Thursday re-elect-
ed to the Senate for another term of
six years, which will end on the 4th
of March 1909, at which time, IL he
lives until then, he will be IS years of
age. 1t may be said in passing that.
Notwithstanding the great age of the
two Senators, no state in the Union
is more ably represented in the Senate
than Alabama"

The Alabama House of Representa-
tives has passed bill prohibiting the
sale of cigarettes and cigarette papers
in that state. and a similar bill will be
passed by the Illinois Legislature. 1t
is stated that in each case the Legis-
lature is made UP of non-users of Gig
arettes, persons who are prejudiced and
therefore hardly competent to take fair
action on the question. If the authors
of these laws have the slightest idea
that prohibitory statutes would have
the effect of stopping the consumption
of cigarettes they are doomed to disap-
pointment. The greatest effect that
they would have would 5e to produce

A ROckefeIIer Story.

Speaking of Manhattan, says writer
in Money am reminded: Young John
d. Rockefeller turned a funny trick
with his venerable father and the lat
ter's associates in the Manhattan deal.
Rockefeller fills was wise to what was
going on and, being wise, he acquired
on his own personal account a consid-
cradle line of Manhattan stock. which
later he quietly unloaded onto his poor
old father and the others of the pool
at very handsome profit. 1t came
out by accident. and Rockefeller pere

lordship," quietly replied Mr. Haw-
kins, and proceeded to bring his adj
dress to close. Presently the judge,
in summing up, made use of the word
omnibus" Instantly up rose Mr..
Hawkins, and exclaimed: Pardon, me,

of suggesting that instead of saying
omnibus, your lordship would say
bus and you would then be more

AN AFFRONT TO A FRIEND.
The Western Missouri Court of APP
peals has decided that mule is a
treacherous ard vicious animal, and
that so well known is this fact that
If workman is injured because of
those traits of mule disposition, the
employers cannot plead ignorance of
the mules nature in defense. Not to
put too fine a point on it, this is ju-
dicial libel on one of mans most pa
tent and accomplishing friends. The
mule has been insulted in the house
to whose fame and fortune he has con-
tributed in no small degree. Except
for the mule. Missouris wealth and
civilization would have been much less
advanced than at present.
Mark Twain was able to find only
twenty-nine original jokes, and the
mule joke stood near the head of the
list, sandwiched in between those of
the mother-in-law and the goat. Prob
ably it is to the mule joke, and the
goose-like propensity of the human an
imal to follow the leader on all occa-
sions, that is due the evil reputation
which has been saddled upon one of the
most docile and useful of all domestic
animals. The jokers have maligned
the mule, and the unthinking multitude
have accepted their jibes as being
based upon adamantine fact. 1.-The
business end of a mule is a stock
~, NJ
man, yet the fact remains that no
mule ever does business with that
! end unless he is provoked to it,
except when his temper has been
previously spoiled by the teas
ing, hectoring or cruelty of some
biped brute. BY nature the mule
is of peaceful and even affectionate
disposition, and his friendly regard is
more constant than that of the horse.
Phrenologists and others will affirm
that large ears betoken mental strength
and activity, by which token it may
safely be argued that the mule has
more sense than the horse. And in
view of this, it may be that what has
been called the stubbornness of the
mule is merely the result of the far
sightedness of the animal, who can
foresee beyond the ken of man that
evil consequences would follow certain
actions, which he refuses to take.
In ancient days mules were highly
honored. They were reserved as the
particular steeds of princes and poten-
| tates. Mahomet was partial to mules
and owned a wonderful pair of them.
In Biblical times prophets, priests and
kings rode upon the backs of mules. In
Italy to this day the high dignitaries
of the church make their journeys on
mule back, as they do also in some
parts of Spain. But in this country
we put the mule to mental service: YET
he does not complain. Throughout the
seasons and in stress of weather the
mule remains faithful to his task, do
/ ing twenty-five to forty per cent. more
work than his kinsman, the horse
could possibly accomplish. and yet re.
ceiving less than half the attention
that is given to the horse. The mule
has innumerable provocations to a sour
temper, including the race question
yet as a species he retains his aplomt
and lends his powerful shoulders to the
advancement of the material interests
of the country. In peace he is an in
4 despensable factor, and in war a high

President Roosevelt thinks the off,
Gals of the government are too verbose;
that they write too many words in their
reports, and that the reports ought to be
cut down. Senator Penrose of Penn
sylvania takes an opposite view of the
matter, and has just introduced a bill
to appropriate $4,000 for the purchase
of 5000 copies of somebody's thesaurus
to be distributed among the depart
ments and to government officials
throughout the United States, to aid
officials and employees in finding the
proper words to convey their meaning
when they are engaged in writing. One
does not need to consult thesaurus tc
find the proper word to characterize
Senator Penrose as a reckless spender
of public money.

A Fish story.

Senator Clapp of Minnesota has had
a visit in Washington from a constit-
uent, Charles Christadoro. who stirs
the imagination with great fish sto-
ries, remarks the Washington Star.
Mr.. Christadoro is very familiar with
the vicinity of Cass Lake, where Sem
ator Clapp goes fishing nearly every
summer, and has been trying to have
the national park located up there
somewhere in the neighborhOod of the
Lake of the Woods, but without much
success. 1.-The Wall-eyed bass are so
numerous in Cass Lake that they are
tame" said Mr.. Christadoro. They
come up out of the water and we give
them names to which they answer"
Mr.. Clapp rather hesitates to indorse
this story.

SENATORIAL SCANDALS.

There is no probability of course that
the Senate will pass the bill provid-
ing for the election Of senator's by the
people-that is, there is no probability
that it will pass il in the near future.
About all of the senators find argu-
ments which are very convincing to
them why the present system of elect
ing senators should be retained. The
trouble over the election of a senator
in Colorado, the scandal connected
with the senatorial deadlock in Della
ware and the doubt that Plat of New
York would have been reelected if the
people could have expressed their
will have revived the discus
sion of the question of electing sena-
tors by popular vote.
Senator Teller secured a reelection
by a majority of one. though Colora-
do is now a Republican state. 1t is
probable that the fact that the silver
sentiment still has a strong hold there
had something to do with his cleo
tion, but it seems to be admitted that
il he had been compelled to go before
the people he would have been de-
feated. 1t is pretty certain that in
Delaware the Addicks scandal would
have been brought to an end long
ago if the people had the right to
choose senator's.
1t is a fact of course that money can
be used to much better advantage in
a senatorial contest that is in a legis-
lative body than it could if such a
contest were before the people. Still,
it is doubtful if a better class of men
that is ADLER men-would be sent to
the Senate If senators We're chosen by
popular vote. The people are apt to
be influenced largely by snowy rather
than by substantial qualifications. A
man who can talk entertainingly. al
though not blessed with an unusual
amount of common sense. is a better
vote winner than the man who is a
thinker rather than a talker. And
a man of popular manners will make
two votes where a much ADLER man,
lacking in the ability to make friends,
will make one.
Just now it looks as If there would
always be enough senators in the
Senate who believe in the present sys-
TEN of electing senator's to prevent
any change in that system, notwith-
standing the resolutions of political
conventions calling for the election of
senators by a direct vote of the peo-
pie. They would rather take their
chances for reelection in a legislative
body than at a popular election.
