RURAL CARRIERS
should be Better Paid and Roads should
be Improved.

Secretary of State Fred NJ. Warner
candidate for the republican nomination
for governor of Michigan, believes that
greater activity should be shown by the
officials of this state to bring about the
improvement of roads. EIe makes an
appeal for betterment of the highways
through the aid of the national govern
ment and adds an appeal for better pay
for the rural delivery carriers, who have
to use the roads 70 this end he will
appeal to all the Michigan congressman
and senators to use their influence to
bring about national system of road
improvement and to secure for the rural
carriers at least as much money as is
given to the city carriers for horses,
which the country carriers have to sup
ply themselves.
( Mr.. Warner recently said:
i think the good roads question is
one of the most important to be consid-
cred by the people of this state Where
the present system has proved to be a
failure, | believe changes should be
made at once, which should result in
much better roads with no additional
expense to taxpayers.
The laws of the several states which
have already adopted the good roads
system should be carefully gone over,
and from the results there obtained, we
should profit. The national government
should extend aid to all the states that
take this question up. The highways of
our country are as important as the water
ways. Many more of our people would
be benefited, and they are entitled to
such assistance.
Better roads would be great advan-
tage to the free rural system. On ac-
count of the efficient work of our Mich
igan congressman, at present we have
over 1000 rural carriers who cover daily
$4,000 miles of road, serving in the neigh
borhood of 100000 people. Good roads
would be a great benefit to this army of
carriers, who to-day are the poorest paid
men in Uncle Sans employ. City car
riers are paid from $500 to 81 900 year
and they are allowed $500 extra for keep.
ing horse, rigs, etc. The rural carriers
are at least entitled to this $500 extra,
for they not only do not have paved
streets to drive upon, but they are gen
orally compelled to have two horses to
do their work.
I'VE should all insist that our con-
gressmen urge this matter. | have no
doubt the Michigan delegation would be
only too glad to take this matter up and,
trust, with good results.
Il have talked with number of the
rural carriers about this matter, and they
all feel that they are badly used in the
matter of pay. All they receive is 5000 a
year, and by the time they pay for the
care of two horses out of this they have
very little left They hang onto their
jobs simply because they hope for better
things in the future"

Edif0ri0I Comment.

THERE are two prominent features in
the returns from Tuesdays elections
One is the magnificent triumph of the
republicans in Ohio, which is more of
personal victory for Senator Hanna than
as though he himself had been on the
state ticket; the other is the election of
the Tammany, "red light" nominees in
New York City. The Ohio result makes
Senator Hanna next to President Roose
welt himself, easily the most prominent
figure in republican national politics.
The Tammany victory in New York
shows that the great cities do not desire
long continued good government, the
majority of the voters favoring wide
open" town. rhe democratic press is
giving undue prominence to democratic
success in Maryland, but that state is so
evenly balanced politically that the as
cendancy of either party by small ma
jority need occasion no surprise. On the
whole, there is nothing in the returns to
cause the republicans to feel uneasy con-
corning the national campaign next
year.

Fencing IS Fine for Women Of the Stage.
TAX 4 vi

This is Kyrle Bellows bevy Of fencing
girls. They started tho fencing fad in
New York--a revival Of the pretty sport
that In the last three months has swept
through the feminine ranks Of the stage
and now has most of the society leaders
and other maids of high degree firmly In
dts grip.
The women have discovered the almost !
perfect adaptability of their figures for
this graceful and healthful exercise, have
learned that no other form of daily eXer-
cise-not golf, nor riding, nor walking-}
gives half the glow to the skin, supple
ness to 1.-the limbs or depth of breathing.
In other words. they have found that
fencing Is the simplest and best possible
medium for the requirement Of feminine
health, strength and beauty.
After the first night Of "A Gentleman
of France" at Wallacks, New York, and
the fight on the staircase" which had
proved veritable sensation to the blase
theater-goers Of the metropolis, the sword
fad broke out Immediately In the COM
pany. One morning three pretty girls of
Mr.. Bellows company waited upon him
at his dressing-room door and begged him
to request Arthur Butler, his fencing
partner and the master-at-arms Of his
company--to form a fencing class "for us
girls" .,-....- ~. .. -.-..
Mr.. Bellew received the idea with much
pleasure and said he would help them
was no infreQuent sight to see the actor
giving instruction to some obscure twelve
dollar a-Week extra girl on the stage at
Wallacks any morning. -..
The daily routine consisted Of short
exhibition bout between Mr.. Bellew and
the master-at-arms, followed by class in
struction conducted by the latter and
8hen the young ladies, properly dressed for
the more exciting work, were paired for
dueing. ,...
1t is a sight, indeed, to SEQ the twenty
four well set up girls Of the company par
ticipate in this concert onslaught. The
vigor OF their exercise heightens the color
of their fresh young faces to degree not
to be wrought by any lotions of the apoth
ecary.
These actresses have found that fencing
is the ideal exercise for women Of their
profession. Travelling about the coun-
try as they do the usual forms of gym
nastic training are denied, but the foils
mask and hauberk Of the fencing outfit
readily find place in the ordinary trunk,
and as for the sale darmes, they find
one ideally planned in the stage Of each
theater they visit.
Mr.. Bellew is quite enthusiastic as the
least member of his Chorus He is in
variubly present at the regular morning
exercise and frequently shares the work
OF Individual instruction with the mas
Ter. alarms.
This is accounted for perhaps, when it
IS told that in his hard luck days-a
struggling. unrecognized actor in London
-Bellew eked out his meagre salary as an
instructor at Bertrand's famous fencing
acadamy. Also during his sea-going days
Bellew was considered the crack man
with the navy cutlass on both the ships

attached
