The New Road Law.

We noticed in the Capital Of Mar.
2 4th letter from Senator Stewart
about the new road law which he
was instrumental in having passed
and Of which the Senator expects
much benefit to our roads. We give
the letter below in full as il explains
the intent Of the law, 1t surely is a
wise provision and properly used
may be made of great benefit.
TO the Editor of the Capital;
noticed few days ago, in COM
menting ON the work of the two
houses of the Legislature you spoke
of township road law in connect
ion with some other minor or unim
portant laws, and gave about equal
credit to each house, and you re-
ferred to this road law as providing
for taxpayers to 'work ont their
tax"
| have seen the same law referred
to by other papers AS claw to pro-
vide for making macadam roads. "
Now, in my judgment, the township
law is one of the most important
passed during the recent session, and
the Senate is wholly responsible for
it; for while it was known as the
House Bill No 25I, it received its
present form from the Senate and
only got through the House by the
most persistent effort on the part of
the Senators.
The law is not to enable taxpayers
to work out their road tax, nor is it
especially iatended to promote the
building of macadam roads. On
the contrary, j, provides for the
levy OF a road tax that must be paid
in cash, and goes into the hands of
the township board, and may be
used az the judgment of the mem
bers dictate in improving the roads
of their respective townships. The
money may be expended unt er con-
tract or otherwise.
II is a beginning in the direction
of having all road tax paid in cash

Dead.

Only forlorn, heartbr0ken, friend
less man. Only one out of the many
thousands OF such in this world. Rag
ged, dirty and unkempt. his dead body
was found in a hox car on the siding
here last Tuesday morning.
All ambition and self respect gone,
lie had evidently swallowed some poi
sonous drug and crawled into this car
and laid down on the hay tc die. Yet
he was not always this forsaken, for
gotten creature. Once somebody low
ed and cared for him, and pictured for
him a life OF usefulness and honor
Once he looked out upon the world
and was fired with an ambition to do
something and be somebody. Once the
inspiring spirit OF love filled his breast
and made the whole world look bright
and happy to him.
He married a woman who was to be
his guardian angel through life, his
guide and Inspiration. He fondly ex-
pected her presence and wiusome smile
TO smooth the rough and rugged way,
Three children came to bless their
home, which was 10 Wichita.
Then tho tempter, in shape OF a
smooth tongued, gaudy bar tender

Gated in Denver 10 her degradation
and shame. She took her children
with her, and G. ID. Baker, for thl'
was his name, became forlorn, heart
broken wanderer, careless OF himsel
and everything else.
And thus. after all the light ant
happiness had gone out Of his life, h,
ended his miserable existence, alOu
and friendless in this wide world. Th
above facts of his life we're gleaue'
from a package OF old well worn letter
in his pocket. written by his childre
and his repentant wife. The remain
