1900, and, with the assistance of gov
eminent officials, built the first sam
pie road" near Port Huron, Mich.
Mr.. Earle's doctrine is national,
state and local cooperation in making
good roads. He states it tersely as
follows:
'"The principal consideration is not
what kind of road is best, but to get
something in sight to build roads with.
My idea is to provide funds for that
purpose. The government collects an
internal revenue tax on tobacco,
cigars, cigarettes and Intoxicating
liquors. 1t is what I call 'hindering
tax. Now by the use Of these articles
a large crop of unfortunates is turned
out, for the taxpayers to look after in
their institutions. Isn't it fair that the
government should pay back some of
this money to improve the highways
and reduce the cost of transportation,
SO as to save the taxpayers something
on that end Of the line.
"Our government has spent $780,
100000 on waterways, over $138,000,-
600 in aiding railways, and has given
196,OO0,000 acres of land, a total of
$1,45O, 100000 in aid of the two, and it
has been spent wisely. The railroads
do not need any more aid. Why
shouldn't the government now divert
this money to improving the farmers
highways?
And why should not our cities and
villages help build roads out Of the
license money they receive from the
liquor traffic. They pave city streets
with the money. The liquor traffic
makes lunatics, feeble-minded and
criminals, and the whole state pays fer
their care. Why shouldn't the farm
er get some Of this money back for the
Improvement Of his highways?
think my idea is worth studying on a
WHILE
The American Road Makers and the
National Good Roads association have
no quarrel, says Mr.. Earle. They are
working to the same end. The Road
Makers are composed mainly of men
who know how to build roads, while

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
Interesting Review of the Situation
Opens the Proceedings.


The convention was called to order
at $3.50 this afternoon in the K. P.
hall, second floor of the Masonic Tenn
pie. The first order of business was
the annual address of the president,
John w. Barry of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.,
Mr.. Barry expressed his apprecia-
ton of theugIpp6rt given him dur
ing the past lr by his brother Off
time time to o Il the assb sts zion work without
hope of reward, except the general
benefit Of the organization. AS to the
mem bers, he said it was their bust
ness to be loyal to association prin-
ciples.
Like the famous message OF one of
the presidents, the Northwestern Lum-
bermen's association is at peace with
all the world and the rest of man
kind It is acting in unison with
fifteen other retail associations, rep
resenting 5000 yards, which make a
combined total of 1900 yards, ran
ging from the Alleghenies to the
Rockies and from Winnipeg to the
gulf. It is estimated that in this
vast territory "a per cent Of the lum-
es the consumer thru the retail yards
In the Northwestern Lumbermen's
association are concerns representing
$22,000,O0O, and the insurance organ
ization has in force s12,OO0,0O0 of in
surance, which costs only one-fifth
the amount formerly charged by old
line companies. The relations with
manufacturers are, on the whole, cor
dial, and the right of the retailer to
the trade of his locality is generally
recognized.
President Barry mildly criticized
members who insist on their pound
of flesh rather than work to prevent
further trouble. He said that these
kickers were, as a rule, the least
loyal to association principles.
Secretary Hollis Report.
w. S. Hollis, secretary Of the asso-
citation, presented a brief report. He
said that the association now had a
membership of 1900 retail yards. In
the territory covered there are about
$500 yards, so that two-thirds are
affiliated with the association, and OF
the other third, about 800 are owned
by firms already identified with the
| association. The work Of the asso-
citation could be much improved il
there was an additional income OF
about $4,000 a year. The efforts OF
the association have stopped about 80
per cent of irregular shipments Mr.
Hollis urged that all cooperate with
the work of the new lumber secreta-
ries' bureau Of information.

err, in all probability, with minimum Of

But the weather men were doing things
yesterday. They arranged gale yester-
day afternoon that has seldom been
equaled in a local midwinter for speed
and duration. From 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon until 9 o'clock last night a
southeast wind blew with gusty vigor
at the rate of thirty to fifty miles an
hour. During most of the quarter day
the velocity of this Florida zephyr aver
aged forty miles an hour.

LAWYER IS VOICE FAILS
James A. Peterson Suffers Peculiar At.
Fiction In Court.

James A. Peterson, the prominent law
yer and politician, suffered from nervous
ness and loss Of voice to such an extent
yesterday afternoon when attempting to
address a jury. that the case had to be
continued until this morning. Another at
tempt this morning resulted in the same
manner and the jury is now excused until
tomorrow. The attorneys affliction is not
serious and caused amusement as well as
sympathy.
The case is that Of DR.. William Russell

days. In order to accommodate some OF
the jurors the attorneys in the case had
agreed to finish up the case yesterday.
The defendants attorney had presented
his arguments to the jury and about five
o'clock Mr.. Peterson rose to conclude the
case, but after the first few words his
vocal organs refused to work.

THE greatest humorist that we
have read after for some time is
the Houston Post correspondent
from Halletsville who says that E..
o. Meitzen, just nominated for
county judge of L.avaca county by
more than 90 per cent of the votes
cast in the primaries, is very I'M
popular. Mankind since the fall of
Adam, we might say, has been
seeking just that peculiar kind OF
unpopularity that gets preferment
over his fellow by an overwhelm-
ing majority. A fellow can stand
that brand of unpopularity it oc-
ours to US in train loads and
throughout eternity were mortal
machinery geared to run that long.
One could almost contract to grid
the globe with politicians who
would exchange their present
standing like a fash for just that
character of unpopularity.-C uero

MERRILL HAS ONE OF LARG-
EST FIRES in HISTORY

Merrill suffered the worst fire in
years Monday when three business
blocks were quickly destroyed, a high
wind making control of the flames
practically impossible Four Other
blocks were in danger. but were
finally saved. The loss is estimated
at $40, 900. The Wausau fire depart.
ment was sent for, but arrived after
the fire was under control.
The fire started at 9:45 o'clock in
the Langley & Anderson department
store. The flames spread rapidly and
the entire building, which was two
stories high, was soon developed.
The fire spread to the jewelry store
owned by George Strickland and then
to the postoffice building. Both were
destroyed.
When the fire was under control
the Wausau department arrived, but
was Of no use. The high wind made
difficult the work of the local firemen
and had the fire spread to the other
buildings both departments would
have had difficulty in gaining control
over it.
