1t is worse than useless to create
expensive and valuable highways,
TO have them only cut to pieces by
the use of narrow tires, as now used
for the hauling Of heavy loads in
this state. When an expensive
highway has been created it must
be taken care of, and methods here
tofore permitted must be changed in
order to help maintain it. Wide
tires are of the greatest value in
preserving ordinary dirt roads. In
France every freight and market
wagon is a road maker The tires
are from three to ten inches in
width-usually from four to six
inches. Most loads are carried on
two. wheeled carts with a single
horse, the loads weighing over two
tons. With the few four wheel
vehicles used in France the tires are
rarely less than six inches in width.
and the rear axle is about fourteen
inches longer than the fore axle, so
that the rear or hind wheels run
about one inch outside of the level
rolled by the front wheels. In Ger
many the law prescribes that all the
wagons drawing heavy loads, such
as coal, brick, earth, stone, etc.,
must have tires at least four inches
wide. European countries have long
ago discarded narrow tires, in order
to preserve and build their high
ways, and also because it is an
economy in the use of the vehicle
and the weight that a horse is able
to draw. Wide tires are not only
lighter in their draught than narrow
ones, under nearly ali conditions,
but they roll the roads smooth,
instead of cutting them TO pieces
A four-inch tire ona wagon carrying
a heavy load is a road builder.

ANOrHnn RAILROAD
A Project which il Contaminated
Means Great BsneHt to
the County

A recent issue of the North Amer
ican contains an article Of much
interest to this section. It is a
statement that a construc ion COM
pany is DOW being organized TO build
a railroad from Pittsburg to Port
Jervis which it is strongly intimated
is to be a connecting line to the east
for the Wabash system. One factor
in the move is the independent coal
operators, both in the bituiniuous
and anthracite fields. The survey,
as made, establishes the distance
between Williamsport and Wilkes
barre as seventy miles, or thirty
miles shorter than by any route, with
not more than one per cent grade
at any place. and for twenty y-eight
miles as level as a floor From
Wnkesbarre 20 Port Jervis is So
iuiles, and at Port Jervis connection
is made with the o. q w. to tide
water. Arrangements have already
been made with that road for a con-
nection and it will receive a large
traffic in anthracite coal from indie
pendent operators.
The proposed new road is made
possible by an old charter granted
to the Lehigh and Eastern in 1868
which was very liberal in its provis-
ions and which has been kept valid
by partial construction and legisla-
tive enactment. This charter gives
a right to build a road from a point
in Luzerne county and extend its
lines to almost any point in the
state. It can bridge the Delaware or
any other stream and cross the lines
of any other railroad at grade or
otherwise. 1t is a liberal charter
and one of the kind granted when
charters were not so valuable as
now. Under this charter, it will be
remembered, considerable grading
was done in this county in 1874.

Congressional Sarcasm

During a recent filibuster debate
IN congress democrats denounced
the republicans for doing business
on the Sabbath, whereupon Mr.
Grosvenor remarked that "when the
Lord said six days shalt thou labor
and do all thy work perhaps he did
not forsee the presence Of the demo
cratic party on earth, STILL" he
added, "He might have done so. T"
Phe injunction about rescuing the
OK or ass on Sunday if it fell into the
pit certainly foreshadowed the
coming of the democratic party.

give bonds for the discharge Of
their duties, to give corporate secur-

by the proper county, and another
authorizing county commissioners

Trnin Children ct Hnms

The home should give more at
tention to the formative period of
the child life. There seems to be a
tendency to turn the pupil over to
the schools at too early an age and,
in this way, the child is deprived of
much of that wholesome educational
influence which properly belongs to
the home Mothers should not
become so busy with social and
political reform as to neslect the
training of their children. The
home can best cooperate with the
schools by doing the work which
properly belongs to the home. The
best way to institute lasting reform
is to teach the boys and girls of
today so that we will not need to
reform them when they become men
and women.

Better let it alone or you may be

The Sussex Register whose editor
is always apt to say just what he
means, said something last week
about people who would not take
home paper. A few of his remarks
bear repeating People sometimes
decline to subscribe to their home
paper for the reason that they al
ready take several papers published
in New York and elsewhere pub
lished out side of the county. Yet
those same people often ask and
receive favors from the local paper
while none IS received or expected
from the outside journal.
When a death occurs in the home
they expect the local paper to report
it in tender, sympathetic strain, and
to extol the virtues of the deceased,
When birth or wedding occurs in
the family they expect the local
paper to give a glowing description
of the event.
When they are trying to build
churches OF schools, the local paper
is asked to give them good, strong
puffs.
If there is battle for right in the
precinct, the editor is expected to
, bear the brunt Of it.
Thus people are constantly re-
| ceiving favors from the local paper,
, but many fail to show their appre-
, citation by subscribing for it.
, Yet they oheerfully pay their
subscription annually in advance for

After all the fuss and feathers il
developes that the sideboard from the

to saloon keeper was not the one
presented to Mrs. Hayes by the W..

was ever presented to her by that
organization. The article in question
was bought for the White House
during the incumbency of President
Arthur.
On a par with this story is a
criticism that the portraits Of the
mistresses of the White House are
hung in the "cellar." The fact is
that these portraits hang in corridor

The Philippine Tariff

The urgent telegrans sent by Gov
ernor Taft from Manila to the presi-
dent and Secretary Root have caused
the president to send a special mes
sage to congress urging the passage
Of suitable tariff law to relieve the
serious conditions in the islands. The
president suggests a special reduction
in tariff levied against Philippine
goods coming into the United States.
He states a series Of calamitles have
befailen the Philippine people. Just
as they were emerging after nearly
six years of devastating warfare, there
has occurred an epidemic of rinderpest
destroying 30 per cent ofthe carabaos,
the Philippine cattle, leaving the
people without draft animals to do
farm or other work. The presidents
message to congress is a very strong
one, but it is doubted whether such a
law as he urges can pass that body at
this time. Although low tariff is a
democratic doctrine, there are ele-
nents Of the democratic party, such
as Senators Teller, Patterson, Dubois
! and others hailing from beet sugar
and cane sugar states, who will work
to prevent any such tariff bill becom-
ing a law.
