WASHINGTON. D. c.. March "a

w ASHINGTDN, ID. o., March "a.
The Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, after due and care
full consideration, has dismissed the
petition filed by Rebecca G. Taylor,
niece of Representative McCleary,
for writ of mandamus to compel
the secretary of War to restore her
to clerical position in the war de-
partment. 1t Will be remembered
| that Miss Taylor took occasion to
severely criticise the administration
upon its conduct i'll tho Phi. :, -. .
Her excoriations were partlcu. 49,
severe, and naturally were res ii ., ,
by the secretary of war, who orde :
her dismissal. Now that the go : !
has decided the question, it So. :
strange that Miss Taylor's advisers )
ever permitted her TO contest the
authority of the secretary. 70
have granted the writ which she de-
manded would have robbed an ad-
ministrative officer of every power
to exercise discretion in the manage
ment of his office. 1t would have
| left him without shred of author
ity in the selection of assistants in
| the performance of his work, and
put a premium on disloyalty.
1t is considered as rather remark
liable, however, that the distin-
guished secretary of war should
have seen fit to take this matter 80
! closely in hand, and the dignity of
This position has not been increased
Thereby. 1t would appear that some
i'other means could nave been found
to settle this matter which did not
require summary dismissal.

Road Building.
plant.

The rapidity with which the senti-
ment in favor of national aid to the
common roads of the country has
spread and the aegerness with which the
proposition is welcomed since the in
PRODUCTION of the Brownlaw bill in con-
gress, have not only been highly crafty
ing to the friends of the measure, but
surprising and astonishing to its oppon
ents. The truth is the great body of
the farmers of the land are slow in
demanding what they are justly entitled
to. Had the same necessity as the want
of good roads among the farmers existed
in relation to the manufacturing, min
ING or commercial interests of the coun-
try. such necessity would have long
quate appropriations from congress.
The tilers of the soil do not work in
concert for their own advancement. The
census of 1900 showed the whole number
of people above the age of ten years
engaged in gainful occupations in the
United States was 29O74,l77. OF this
number lO,3sl, 765 were engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits. No other specified
occupation employs so many.
The manufacturing and mechanical
pursuits employ only 7,0S5,992 persons;
trade and transportation, 4,166,964. and
professional service, l,766.964. And yet
the farmers of the country, who con-
tribute more to its permanent prosper
ity than all other classes combined, have
the smallest amount of consideration
priations In all the history of the leg
islation of the country few efforts have
been made to equalize the benefits of
congressional appropriations. Until the
rural mail routes were established a
citizen living in the country rarely re-
ceived direct benefit from the money
expended by the government except that
for the agricultural department.
The commerce of the country felt the
exuberance of fresh and lusty life and
vigor from the improvement of the riv
ers and harbors. but this eXuberance
would have been vastly increased had
half the money appropriated for rivers
and harbors been applied to aid in the
improvement and maintenance of the
public roads, the very foundation of
commerce.
1t must not be imagined that anyone
proposes that the government shall en-
err upon the work of building public high
ways without the cooperation of the
state. county or other political sub-divis
ion. The policy of the government
should be to help those communities
that help themselves; to stimulate ac-
ton and enterprise. rather than to re-
press it by appropriating money to
those communities that do nothing for
themselves-N New York Tribune Farm

There seems good ground for the be-

among the civilized nations of a senti-

we are near a position in which it will
be possible wholly to prevent war or
that just regard for national interest
and honor will in all cases permit of
the settlement of international disputes
by arbitration, but by mixture of pru-
dence and firmness with wisdom we
think it is possible to do away with
much Of the provocation and excuse

substitute some other and more rational

Hon HarVie Jordan, of the state far
mers' institute, arrived in the city
on q belated train yesterday afternoon
and made very able address at the

A number of farmers from several
portions of the county, the members
Of the agricultural society and num-
Der of citizens were present and en-
joyed the splendid address.
Mr.. Jordan discussed the scope and
the work of the farmers institute and
begged the people of this senatorial
district to take the matter up and form
organizations looking to the better
ment of the farming and agricultural
industry geserally.

understood and in divers ways it is
benefit to farming interests.
