From the New York Tribune.
The progress which the good roads move
ment is making in the United States is not
nearly so rapid as it ought to be, but, at
least it is not going backward. and it's pos
sibilities can hardly be exaggerated. To
the owners and tenants of farms in the
Union the improvement of the roads is
matter of vital Importance. Every culti-

terested in the planting and marketing of
the crops should help on their development.

From the st. Louis ReDublic

From the st. Louis Republic.
War would not be so horrible If all of its
evils were those of mere carnage. The
death of a thousand men by bullets is a
dreadful thing. but the death of ten thou
sand by the slow process of torturing dis
ease Is much more terrible. Every record
of international armed conflict tells it's
story of the ravages of disease.

A Boy on the Body.

The study of anatomy, recently
introduced in the public schools,
may be a good thing in some in
stances, but it was evidently thrown
away on a certain boy whose essay
on the human body was read at an
examination not long ago. This IS
what he has discovered after care
full perusal of the text books:
"The human body consists of the
head, thorax, abdomen and legs.
The head contains the brains, in
case there are any. The thorax
contains the heart and lungs, also
the liver and lights. The abdomen
contains the bowels, of which their
are fve-a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes
W and y. The legs extend from the
abdomen to the floor, and have
hinges at the top and middle to en-
able fellow to sit when standing
or to stand when sitting. -Philadel-

The Fond du Lac Reporter: The
Milwaukee Journal declares that
the privilege OF soliciting subscrlb-
ers for newspapers and periodicals
should be taken from the rural mail
carriers, and bases its argument on
the statement that the present
arrangement places the papers at
the mercy of the carriers who will
naturally work for the one that pays
the most. The argument is good
one. Let the government pay the
carriers fair salary, and not make
them depend on private sources for
an income. If their routes are
properly served they will have little
time to waste for the newspapers.
