1t is common talk on the streets
that 20 native is wanted in govern

On the face OF it and on first hear

to bs very feasible and quite plausi-

We quite agree with the remarks

this We do OF our own accord with

Why is it that the morning paper
during the campaign always referr-
ed to the Democratic speeches as
"rehash," and to those of the Re-
publicans as "magnificent" or "tell-
ing" addresses And yet among
the Republican speakers there
wasn't one who could hold candle
to orators like Kinney, Waller and
Iaukes. How very childish or
narrow minded a man must be, who
cannot sse the good points in an

New Jersey gives annually $3.50. 1000

cost, the counties two-thirds, and ten
per cent. of the counties share may be
assessed on the townships. The state
has apportioned in the last ten years
$l,500,0O0. The counties have spent
more than double this amount, as they
pay for bridges, surveying and inciden-
tails. There have been builded by stats
aid $50 miles Of road in New Jersey,
and at the beginning Of the year there
had been applications for the improve
ment Of 480 miles. When the law was

ROAD AFTER IMPROVEMENT.

America. Experience has taught them
that macadam roads in the country were
being madeneedlessly costly. Macadam
was laid on oo;thick and the roads were
made too wide. When they began to
get out of the mud in New Jersey they
made the macadam IL inches deep. and
the stone beds were generally 16 feet
wide. Now most of the roads have only
six inches of macadaln and are 10 or
IL feet wide. Six inches of macadam
instead of 10 means that material for
merly covering five miles of road now
covers ten. A reduction in width from
l6 to IL feet means further rs per cent

New Jersey has been one of the lead

It was the first to pass a state aid law,
ameasure that is in force in every state
where systematic work is done to pro-
duce uniform good roads. The money
given by the state is not of first impor-
lance in this plan; it is the state super

WHO IS MORE GULLIBLE?
The City Man Il Not a Bit Behind His
Country Cousin in This
s.s Respect.

lis the man Of the country more guilt
BILE than the man Of the city," asAed
an observant man, in the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. There is suspicion
that an answer in the affirmative would
fit the case Yet. It may not be SO.
An interesting experiment has recently
been made. according to story that
comes out OF, New. Fork, and the result
seems TO have been a little disastrous.
According ito the story this attempt to
prove that the resid ents#M the country
districts are more gullibles than those
of the city has nearly resulted In asjail
sentence for college student employed
as q street car conductor in Brooklyn.
He Is said to be member Of we'll
known family in Maine, and was a
student at Brown university in the class
Of 'O6.
Financial reverses sustained by the
family compelled him to seek work in
the city, and he became a conductor not
long ago. In July friend Of the con-
ductor residing in Maine received .
letter Offering to sell him. at low rates,
counterfeit money made in Mexico.
The Maine man turned the letter over
to the secret service officials and the
conductor soon after was arrested. He
was indicted and has been in jail since
July. The prisoner explained that the
letter was only joke and an expert
ment in sociology, finally giving the
district attorney his true name, which
he formerly had concealed. Investiga-
ton proved the story to be true, and
when the case came before Federal
Judge Holt the district attorney ex-
planned. The judge ordered the joker's
plea Of not guilty to be withdrawn,
entered one of guilty and then suspend
ed sentence. He warned the student OF
sociology. however. to be more careful
in his future experiments.
But this does not by any means Set
tie the important question; and despite
the common belief in the gullibility of
the man from the country now and then
we run across happening which shows
he has an element of shrewdness which
will often put the city man to hard
test of his wits. . :
