GOOD ROADS PhuMUTInN.

The movement for the promotion Of
good roads is making steady progress
and there is good reason to think that
within the next few years we shall wit
ness a development in this direction
that will be Of immense benefit to the
country. The legislature of Pennsyl-
vania has just passed a bill that appro.
PIRATES SG,J00,000 for road improvement
throughout the state foc the next six
years and it Is not difficult to under
stand what this will result in for the
farmers Of that state, as well as for the
thousands Of people who will be given
employment in the building Of the roads.
In the last week of the present month
there is to be held at st. Louis an in
ternational convention for the promotion
Of good roads and a number Of promi-
nent men will make addresses NJ the
convention. among them President
Roosevelt. Undoubtedly this convention
will exert q great deal Of influence in
behalf of the policy for which il is
called and it is needless to ray that
ton Of good roads is worthy Of the most
earnest encouragement. The good roads
movement is one of those entirely prdc-
teal matters that means benefit for the
entire country and is worthy of the
heartiest support Of everybody.

HOW TO GET RID OF DRUDGERY.
Love of Work and Content Lighters
Every Days Task.
o. s. Marsden In suecess.

Every Days Task.
O.. s.. Marsden in Success.
Three things Ruskin considered neces-
sary to that happiness In work which is the
right as we'll as the privilege OF every
human being: They linen and women),
must be ht for 1t; they must not do too
much Of It, and they must have q sense OF
success in it-not a doubtful sense, such
as needs some testimony of other people
for its confirmation, but a sure sense, or,
rather, knowledge, that so much work has
been done well, and fruitfully done, what
ever the world may say or think about It,"
No man is original, prolific or strong,
unless his heart gives full consent to what
he is doing, and he feels a glow Of content
and satisfaction in every dsy's well-done
work.
II you are in love with your work. and
dead In earnest in your efforts to do II
as we'll as II can be done; II you are 80
enthusiastic about II that you fairly be-
grudge the time taken from 1t for your
meals and recreation, you will never be
bored by It; the drudgery which others feel
you will never know.
A fond mother feels no sense OF drudgery
in her homework, in the INFINITE details Of
sweeping. busting. cooking. mending and
making for her loved ones. The long days
and nights OF care and toll spent minister
ing to the crippled. deaf and dumb, OF in
valid child, have never a thought OF IN
willing labor in them.
What are years OF waiting and hardship
and disappointment, and incessant toll to
an inspired artist? What cares the writer
whose heart is in his work for money or
fame compared with the Joy Of creation:
What are long courses Of seeming drudgery
TO the poor student working his way
through college, II his heart is ahams with
desire for knowledge, and his soul IL athirst
for wisdom? What does IL matter how long
a man works II his work, even humble. is
a credit TO him?
In the production OF the best work. the
corporation OF heart and head Is neces-
sary. It's quantity as we'll as quality will
be measured by the amount Of love that Is
put into II.
He loved labor for it's own sake" said
Macaulay OF Frederick the Great. His
exertions were such as we're hardly to be
expected from q human body or . human
! mind"

Democratic Tnrin Threats.
PHILADELPHIA Press

David B. Hill, in a speech delivered on
Monday, declared that the issue in the
next campaign should be Immediate tariff
revision" Edward M. Shepard, who was
the democratic candidate for mayor of
New York against Mr.. Low, in a recent
speech said: Instead Of introducing doubt
into almost every business the democratic
party may we'll deal with the few SEIZED
ules in which, through practical monopoly,
vast fortunes have been made" The two
leaders differ materially. 1t does not mat
ter which course the democrats pursue
The republican party will attend to the
tariff at the right time, and it does not
propose that the business Of the nation
shall be upset by democratic threats.

THE coLoRED RACE PROBLEM.

We think that nearly everybody will
agree with the view expressed by ex.
Ere sident Cleveland in regard 10 the
problem respecting the colored race. Mr..
Cleveland declared himself to be the
friend of the colored man and to desire
his education and intellectual improve
ment. That Is what every man should
wish and seek for. The intellectually
cultivated negro is the man who will
make a good citizen and without such
education the colored man can not be
depended upon to discharge his obliga-
lions as a citizen. He will be simply a
creature On the hands of the white man,
following not his own judgment, but
that of the person whose influence con-
trolls him.
The intelligent colored man of the
north is an Independent man, casting
his vote according to his judgment. He
is very generally a republican because
he recognizes what that party has done
for his race, but he is not absolutely
bound to that party ard there are many
colored men who vote the democratic
ticket. Mr.. Cleveland was entirely right
in urging that the colored race should
be educated and that 1t is the duty OF
our people to do all that is possible to
promote the intellectual advancement
Of the negro. In that is to be found the
only real and certain solution Of the
great race problem which confronts the
country.

One member of the Philippine com
mission expresses the opinion that the
administration of justice in the Philip
pine islands Is substantially as good as
it is in any state in the union. This is
saying a great deal, yet 1t must be ad-
mitted, however humiliating, that the
administration of justice in many states
Of the union could be wonderfully i'm.
proved without great effort at that.
The Filipinos have the advantage, ap.
parently, of our forms of judicial pro.
cedure and the groundwork of our law
as transplanted for them, without the
abuses that have grown into the system
here. We may yet learn something
from the Filipinos about the administra
ton of justice and effective suppression
of crime and lawlessness.

The discovery has been made that
losses to the extent Of approximately
100000 have been sustained by the
state school fund Of Indiana from bad
loans on real estate security. Nebraska
had its experience with land mortgage
loans of its school money the first few
years Of its statehood, with a similar
result that thousands Of dollars loaned
out were never repaid. The revised con-
stitution Of Nebraska put a perpetual
stop to this practice by prohibiting the
investment of the school fund except in
specified securities, from which real es-
tate mortgages are excluded. Nebraska
perhaps shut the door too tight, but In
diana evidently would do better to profit
by Nebraska's experience as well as its
own.

EXCHANGE OF STATUES NOT
LIKELY


 We believe Mir. Joseph Hodges Choate to have been entirely serious when speaking in London on the Fourth of July he expresses the hope that one day there would be statue of Wash ington in the city of London and a statue of Queen Victoria in Washing ton. The Saturday Review, however, has deemed it needful to explain that the American ambassador was merely perpetrating joke, and that there is no occasion for the loyalists of the pro- vince of Ontario to work themselves into a fury of indignation and sign a petition to the authorities of Vest minister Abbey protesting against what they describe as proposal to "erect a monument to George Washington in Great Britain's historic edifice." The Ontario loyalists declare that the erec- tion of statue to Washington in the British metropolis would be regarded in Canada as a condemnation of the sem tinlent of loyalty to Great Britain. They apine that statue to Sir John Macdonald would be more appropriate. The Saturday Review would be as furi- ous as are the Ontario loyalists if the project to which the latter take excep- tions were really on foot. <.
 'We might just as we'll" says the Review. put up a statue to one of the Cape rebels whom we have just dis franchised, or to one of the Irish boys of '9S'-Wolfe Tone. for instance. The Review thinks, indeed, that statues to the Irishmen of '9S would be more justi- liable, because ''the Irish certainly had infinitely more just grounds for rebel lion than had the Yankees" It goes on to say that the Dutch in South Africa were a different race, and owned the country before the Britishers, whereas the Americans, people of our own

 All this is antiquated. West Point has served its day. The most success ful soldier in the United States-chosen for his place by the wisest head in the nation-never wasted any time in pre- pairing for a military career. A glance at the records of the 494 men he has passed in the race for the prize they all coveted reveals how they wasted their time. Some of them were honor men at West Point, a number of them spent their time in study during the Indian wars, and many of them were brevetted three and four times for the old-fash- toned soldering at Antietam, Balls Bluff, Lookout Mountain and Gettys- burg. But so deficient are they in the knowledge and duties of a soldier that few can distinguish between collie and appendicitis! How many of them can discover the psychological moment for administering subordinate of bismuth or coloeynth hyoscyamus? It is such soI- dierly duties as these that call for the abolition of West Point and the estab- lishment of greater school where the future geierals of the army may learn the art of medicine and the science of smooth palitics.-New York Evening Sun,
