A funny story is told of John Kelley

Tuesday. Kelly is one of the boys
and was called to act upon as second

friends down at Copey Island last
summer. AT first some wag placed

from an insistence upon making one

But as to the general interests of

that the best preventive system of rear

ROAD LEGISLATION I'M THE EAST.

Road making is easy on paper. There
II wonderful simplicity in the state
ment of Iowa's needs in hard high
ways and in road legislation to secure
them. Road plans are readily formu-
lated, but they fail in the carrying out.
1t is a safe proposition that everyone
wants good roads. 1t is not safe, how
ever, to assume that everyone is anN-
ious or even willing to assume his
share of their cost. Good roads en-
thusiasm burns bright In council, but
enthusiasm fails to build roads. 1t is
one thing to acknowledge a need, but
another to supply it. Raising money
to build roads with is in the nature Of
q surgical operation.
Iowa is not alone in her road trou-
bles. Maryland is seeking the passage
Of law whereby the state may re-
stock the breeding beds of her oyster
industry, divert the revenues from the
oyster bsds to road making, and thus
taxation from the agricultural COM
munities. Farmers clubs are pushing
the masure upon the legislature and 1t
Is likely to carry at the coming ses-
sion. The trouble will come when the
farmer is asked to take up his share
of the burden and build roads. So far
there has been much talk and little
road making.
The Pennsylvania legislature set
aside $6,500.000 to pay two-thirds OF
the cost OF road making. the county or
township asking for the appropriation
to bear one-third the cost OF the road.
The law is a disappointment. The
counties and townships are not willing
to take the appropriation and tax
themselves for the other one-third.
The $6.500,e00 with Its extremely lib
eral provisions remains in the Penn
sylvania treasury uncalled for.
In New Jersey enough of the states
money is appropriated to pay one
third OF the cost and the law contains
q clause permitting a two-third vote
f OF property owners to force road inn
proyement by guaranteeing one one
tenth OF the cost. The county or
township must then order the improve

JAPANESE NEWSPAPERS.

One of the fundamental reasons for
Japans marvellous progress and devel-
opment Is set forth In paper on Jap
anese newspapers contributed by Mr..
Ed l.. Rainsford to the Editor and
Publisher. The facts as stated by Mr.,
Rainsford will astonish many Ameri-
can readers who have looked upon ia
pan as a half-heathen tho progressive
nation. It appears that all classes of
Japanese are diligent newspaper read
ers and that the proportion of Japan
csc publica tons to the population OF
Japan is at least as great as Brit
ish newspapers to the population OF
Great Britain. The typographical work
turned out by the printing offices at
Toxic and Osaka is said TO be equal to
any similar work turned out by New
York or London presses. Their meth
DDS are the latest and the linotype is
In common use.
In the large cities of Japan good
newspapers are TO be expected. II Is
the disc inination of excellent rural
newspapers that awakens astonish-
ment. Mr.. Rainsford assures us that
in the rural districts. as in the United
States. there Is not small town or
village that does not publish local
paper, weekly. bi-wsekly. in some cases
and these not a few-even daily. each
carefully edited, and exercising dis
timely educative influence upon the
community. In this respect Japan is
ahead of Great Britain and Ireland.
and Infinitely ahead OF France, Bel
GUM, Italy, or even Germany, with the
result that in Japan the rural and aru-
san population is equally far ahead of
the corresponding communities in in
teliigence, morality and go-ahead-
ness.
AS in America, the freedom of the
press is respected. There is no gov
eminent censorship. In fact. with the
exception OF the United States and
Great Britain. there Is no country In
the world where greater latitude Is al
lowed to the newspapers. Progressive
and liberal sheets are urging the linn
itation of the monarchy. with no inter
ference on the part of the government.
There has been but one instance of
governmental interference and that in
the case OF q blatant socialisuc organ
which for the publication OF infiamma-
tory articles was brought before the
criminal court and suppressed. AS
rule, however, the japanese newspa-
pers deal rather with the material
pros per,ty Of the country. and. while
they by NO means ignore politics, DO
their best to raise the tone OF CONNER
cial and social morality, Increase the
energy and enterprise of the merchants
and business men, and augment the
efficiency of the army and navy, so as
to enable the empire to hold Its own
agains, the encroachments of its ambi-
ttous and grasping neighbors.
