A HELPFUL DEADLOCK

The people of Ramsey county will
not regret it if the deadlock in the
county board over the method of dis
tributing road funds shall continue.
The county attorney has taken the po-
sition, in which he seems to be fully
sustained by the law, that the road
funds must be expended only under
warrants drawn by the several town
authorities. The county commissions
ers and the county auditor are unwill-
ing that the money should be spent In
this way. The auditor refused to APP
prove the proper warrants, and both OF
them are in line for the old system Of
peddling out the peoples funds in lit
tie driblets for the advancement Of
personal politics.
Inasmuch as a beginning has already
been made of actual road improve
ment through the movement inaugu-
rated by the Good Roads association,
it would not be an unmixed misfortune
if it were found impossible by reason
of this deadlock to get any of the road
fund out of the public treasury for the
present at all. If the county attorney
were to forbid expenditure in one way
and the county auditor forbid the hon
oring of warrants in another way, the
public would lose nothing at all in the
way of road improvement, and the To-
cal politicians from the county who
have the handling of this fund would
be the only sufferers. For ourselves,
knowing that this money hitherto has
been practically wasted, we hope de-
voutly that this may be the case.
We are about to enter, we hope at
least, upon a new era Of highway
construction in this, county. The Good
Roads association has induced the
county board to designate a large sum
for permanent road work, and to be
satisfied with a much smaller sum for
the old purposes of alleged repairs. We
hope that county board will soon be
elected which will reduce the whole
item still further and see that it is ae-
tually expended for the purposes
named. But one word of caution we
wish to utter here. Let the Good
Roads association not think for mo-
ment that it has won the battle be-
cause it has scored it's first point.
It must maintain it's existence and
increase, rather than lessen, its activ-
ity. 1t must work for the selection of
honest and capable county commits
sloners. 1t must see that the contracts
for new roads are properly framed, let
to competent parties and honestly
carried out. 1t must look after a fair
distribution of the road fund. Already
it has been charged with having a spe-
cial affection for road to White Bear
lake. We know that this charge is not
true, that it's aims are large and it's
such SANDER and vindicate itself by
giving a large and careful and perma-
nent attention to the improvement of
all the roads in this county in their
proper turn, which is the only way
that good roads can be secured under
system Of permanent Improvement.
Let it go ahead on these lines; and
meantime the more tightly the county
funds are tied up the better for every
body, seeing in whose hands the con-
troll of them now rests.

Skipper was a police horse and the
pride Of the mounted squad until he
acquired q SPAWN. Then he was sent
to a sales stable. His experiences
there as told by Sewell Ford in
"Horses Nine" were as follows:
Skipper was led into q big ring be-
fore lot of men. A man on q box
shouted out a number and began to
talk very fast. Skipper gathered that
he was talking about him. Skipper
learned that he was still only six years
old and that he had been owned as q
saddle horse by lady who was about
to sail for Europe and was closing out
her stable. This was news to Skipper.
The man talked very nicely about
Skipper. He said he was kind, gentle,
sound in wind and limb and was not
only trained to the saddle, but would
work either single or double. The man
wanted to know how much the gentle
men were willing to pay for bay
gelding of this description.
Some one OH the outer edge Of the
crowd said, ''Ten dollars"
At this the man on the box grew
quite indignant. He asked If the 9th er
man wouldn't like a silver mounted
harness and lap robe thrown in.
Fifteen" said another man.
Somebody else said Twenty" an.
other man said twenty-five" and still
another Thirty" Then there was q
hitch. The man on the box began to
talk very fast indeed.
''Thutty. thutty. thutty, thutty! DO
I hear the fve7 Thutty, thutty, thut-
U. thutty. Will you make it five?''
"Thirty- fve," said a red faced man
who had pushed his way to the front
and was looking Skipper over sharply.
The man on the box said ''Thutty.
Ave" good many times and asked II
he ''heard forty Evidently he did
not for he stopped and said very slow
" and distinctly, looking expectantly
around: care you all done? Thirty
