games, stories, comics and instruc.

Good Roads Bills.

Governor Hum, Of Delaware,
has signed the Tyre good roads bill,
passed by the legislature of that
State, and appointed Cornelius j..
Harrigan, of Wilmington as State
Highway Commissioner. The law
calls for an expenditure by the
State of $4,000 a year for two
years in each of the three counties,
which will contribute a like
amount, raised by the Levy Court,
for improved roads.
In Pennsylvania Governor Pen.
nypacker has signed the Good
Roads bill and it has become a law.
1t provides for the establishment of
a State Highway Department.
The State Highway Commissioner
will supervise the expenditure of
money appropriated for the roads,
the State to bear two thirds of the
expense of road building, the coun-
ties one sixth and the townships
one sixth. The State aid is to be
apportioned among the townships
according to the mileage of roads,
the County Commissioners having
the right to select the kind of road
to be built. The $6, 100000 appro-
priated is to be spent as follows:
first and second years, 100000
each; third and fourth years,
81 ,250,O0O each; fifth and sixth
years, 81, 100000.
Maryland, which seems ever to
occupy the position of a trailer in
every movement of reform, should
adopt some such measure as those
of her adjoining sister States for the
betterment of the public roads. No
delegate should be elected to the
forthcoming legislature who will
not pledge himself to use his in
tluence and support in behalf Of
the passage of bill for improved
roads. Thousands of dollars have
been spent upon the public high
ways in the counties of the State
year after year but the results in
the form of permanent roadways
are few and far between, the money
being distributed about in little
driblets over large mileage, and
little better than virtually wasted.

Some amusing stories are coming back
from the Presidents special train. One
is to the effect that one of the newspaper
men provided himself with a most elab-
crate outfit to wear during the two weeks
stay at Cinnabar. Among other things
he had gorgeous pair of russell boots
laced up with red silk cords. They
attracted the attention of the President
and he inquired what they we're for. ITO
wear at Cinnabar," said the newspaper
man. That's too bad" said the Presi-
dent. "Why?" asked the owner of the
boots. WELL" said Mr.. Roosevelt,
there's snow out there and l am afraid
the pretty things will get wet" and he
returned to his private car amid the gen.
eral laugh which greeted his remark.

Speeches were made in which it was de-
cIared that the demands Of the labor
unions had become so onerous that, not
withstanding the great prosperity OF all
branches of trade, the employer was
absolutely powerless in the direction OF y
his own business. 1t was also declared
that il was absolutely necessary that the

WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY H. 1905

Typ ppp1opIcAL friction between
European governments and Turkey has
attracted the attention Of the world LOT
several weeks, and the trouble Is by no
means waning. The Turk has been an
eyesore for centuries, but ne has not,
SO far. been compelled, in the language
of the late Mr. Gladstone, to pack bag
and baggage and cross into Asia, where
it is thought he really belongs. Turkish
rule is doubtless bad; it is perhaps as
had as that of Russia. 1t is at any rate
more hopelessly bad than that OF Russia
because while there is always chance
of reform and the establishment OF a
constitutional government in Russia,
there is practically no possibility of any
thing of the sort in Turkey. The only
redemption from misgovernment tna'
land can hope to have lies in the over
throw of Ottoman rule and the partiton-
ing of the remnant of the empire among
Christian powers, and there is where
,he danger to the peace of the world will
lie. There is, however, another side TO
the picture which has been produced IN
cxtenuation ofTurkish government. A
simple of injustice to the Turk is seen at
this time in connection with the Salonlca
outrages. There is no question tha'
those outrages, peculiarly infamous and
abominabe, were committed by Bull
garians, belonging to Bulgarian pohti'
cal organization which has generally en-
loved the countenance, if not the actua
patronage. of the Bulgarian government
Now. Salonica is a Turkish city, anC
Turkey is held responsible for whatever
happens there. Naturally, the Turkish
government demonstrates vigorously
with the Bulgarian government, an'
moves for the prevention OF further out
RACES bv force This is perfectly cor
rect line of conduct. But Bulgaria re-
CARDS it as grave offence to her, an'
other powers agree with Bulgaria an'
deny Turkeys right to suppress Bul
garian deyiltry within her own dOminions
This will seem strange in the light o
the fact that nearly all the continenta
powers are.spurring the Porte on to in
troduce radical reforms in its European
possessions. Turkey, therefore, seem
powerless to do anything which vii
meet with the approval of its EuroPea
possessions to be swallowed up by othe
powers who have for many long year
been waiting to devour the carcass o
Turkey in Europe.
