EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The supreme court of the state
of Nebraska has issued a witt oi
1nandamus ordering a teacher in
Gage county, of that state, to quit
reading the Bible in his school.
This is the first case of the en-
forcement of the courts decision.

year ago. 1t looks like queer

laws.
One of the principal facts
brought out ia the trial OF the
two Indians who murdered U. S.
Grant, the Siletz Indian, was that
''almost any kind of an Indian
could get all the whiskey he
wanted at Toledo. Truly a
fine recommendation for Toledo.
IF the matter of the trial and
punishment of the murderers OF
Grant had been left to the In
dams of the reservation them
selves, they would have gone
back of the tools at the river
bank and the party sentenced
would have been some saloon
keeper in Toledo. Justice some.

THE GOOD ROADS IDEA.
Pennsylvania Appropriates Six and
Onc-Half Million Dollars to
Help 1t Along.

The leaven of road improvement
seems to be working in all parts of the
United States. An eastern man, who
has recently taken a trip through Tex
as, says the enthusiasm with which the
people have taken up the good roads
idea" is wonderful. In some counties
they are in danger of going wild" on
the subject. Funds are being raised
mainly by issue of county bonds.
in Pennsylvania, the state idea has
taken firm hold. The plan just
adopted is for the state, the county
and the township to cooperate in
the work of building and improving
the roads. The state is to pay two
thirds of the expense. and the county
and township in which the work is
done each one-sixth of the expense.
The state has made available for this
purpose $4,000, 900, to be expended dur
ing the next few years.
The principle involved in the state
aid plan is exactly the same as that in
volved in the scheme for national aid
which has developed such popularity
recently. The fundamental idea of
both is that road improvement is not
merely a matter of LOGAN interest and
responsibility, but a matter of inter
est and concern to the whole people;
or, to put it another way, road build
ing is coming to be viewed as a species
of "internal improvement" belonging
in the same class as river and harbor
improvements.
Another reason why national and
state lid are becoming so popular is
the realization that, unless something
of the kind is adopted, the burden Of
bad roads, like the poor, will be al
Szays with us. The bottomless roads
os the country constitute a sort of
"slough of %despond" in which the peo-
pie are destined to founder until some
one ONE along to help them out. In
facn the expense for improving the
road, in many localities is a burden
which the local population is wholly.
unable to bear. 1t is believed that
whenever the state or the nation
reaches out a helping hand to such
communities, they will grasp it and
bend all their energies to the great
work Of improving their highways,
bnt they will undertake the job
without help from the outside.
The frequent spring rains madeGthe
roads almost impossible in a, majority
of the local communities throughout
the eastern half of the United States.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why
the good roads idea is uppermost in
60 many minds.

PRINTING OFFICE PRECAUTIoN
Every Line of Proof and Every Page
of Copy Is Kept for Ref
renee

"It will not be possible" said an
employee of the government printing
office, according to the Washington
Star, "for any n to place errors Oil
this office, for every line of proof and
every page Of copy is carefully pre-
served. This is done in order to pro
tect the Office. 1t is not an uncom-
mon thing for errors to be charged
to stenographers, proofreaders and
printers, and every precaution is
taken to guard against such.
.sThe universal use of the type
writer has robbed the labor of the
printer and ~proofreader of much OF
its humor and nearly all of it's mis-.
ery. Time was, and that not many
years ago, when all the copy for the
Congressional Record came to the
printing office in the chirography OF
the author. Those were days of pro.
family and drink, and no end of print
ers' yarns are yet extant among the
old ones of the place in regard to the
awful fist written by some of the
men whose names are immortal in
history, and that without the assist
ance of the Record. The list of these
poor penmen is legion. but it is pref
ty generally conceded that the name
of Reverdy johnson should be at the
head of the roster, though Pratt, o.
Indiana, is said by some to be deserv
ing of that honor. One excellent
compositor of that old regime, some
what addicted to rum, was said to bt
the only printer who could reat
Pratt, and he could do SO only whe1
he was drunk. Now it is the correc
tions alone that bother the printer
and all of these are obscure enough

Poor students at the University of

On the subject of his preaching the

much amusement the Judgment of one
of his critics that he was "a poor mix

A Presbyterian minister in London,
the Rev. r. Westrope, proposes to es-
tablish a new third order" of the

is to convert England to Christianity.

DR.. Patton was delivering a lecture
